Using Google Drive

I can not use google drive on my computer because of the OS. I have 10.5.8. What is an inexpensive (and easy?) upgrade that I can do to be able to use google drive. I don't necessarily need the newest system as I might be getting a new computer soon.

Hello,
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

How use Google Drive to do Backups with Time Machine?

Hi everyone! I work in a company that give us a huge amount of space in google drive, bigger than my hard drive! The other day someone tried to break in. Luckily nothing happened but the computer and external hard drive were here! Since then I've been wondering some way to do an automatic back up with time machine using google drive account. No matter how long is take but at least i will be an online back up. I couldn't find anything useful so if there is some that could give a hint or just for to know if this is doable. Any suggestion, thoughts or ideas?
Cheers!
Cristian

Try using a clone.
Clone - Carbon Copy Cloner (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)

How to use Google API for Visual Studio Application using Google Drive

I am creating an VB 2010 Form that will collect data and then automate sharing to select individuals. Right now I am storing the data in the Google Drive folder on the Desktop but some people that may be using this application may not have Google Drive downloaded
on their desktop so I would like to know if there is another way to add the data files (Excel files) to Google Drive. I would also like to have my application automatically share the files with select individuals and possibly publish onto Google+ or at
least create a notification on Google+ that a new file has been added to the Drive. Thanks in advance for ANY help that anyone can offer!

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because you use Google Drive and Google API which are third-party, I suggest consult on its support forum/community provided by its publisher.
IN addition, about Visual Basic programming, please consult on Visual Basic forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vbgeneral for better response.

Used google drive and now the file won't work

I was in florida working on a windows PC in premiere pro cc i saved the file just like any other time and up loaded it to my google drive. When I got back to NY I downloaded said file and it won't open on my Mac i have premiere pro cc on both computers. How can I get this file to work, and is there a better way to send files like that i have a partner who live in FL and we will be sending files frequently. thanks for any help

Take it in to the Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation. Then your friend will be in a position to make an informed decision. We cannot give you any meaningful advice unless we can physically inspect the MBP.

Multiple apple ID's - iCloud drive and google drive?

I've got a variety of apple devices and am trying to work out the best way to keep documents in sync across them all. The ideal solution would be to use iCloud drive but my macbook and iPhone are on one apple ID and my wife iPad and iPhone are on another. I'd like to keep them on separate apple ID's as we have different contact groups and don't want to see iCloud tabs for each other, etc. Plus backing up 4 devices to one iCloud account won't leave much space for anything else and when Microsoft give out 30gb, google give out 10gb the 5gb iCloud allowance is pretty poor.
At the moment we use google drive to store all our documents and just access this on our devices via the drive app. I'd really like to switch to using iCloud drive as it'll mean I can use iWork more than office but there just doesn't seem to be a way to keep documents in sync across multiple apple ID's. Google drive also doesn't cater for iWork file formats so I can't simply save everything in there and just copy over to iCloud drive.
Does anyone have any bright ideas? Are there any third party iOS apps that will let you access items stored in icloud drive? I'd also thought about trying to use automator or applescript to copy a few select documents over to iCloud drive and convert to the iWork formats but I'm quite new to all that so not very sure where to start.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have a similar problem with this as well. For example, I like to keep the "contacts" of me and my spouse updated on both of our phones. In order for this to happen, I have to sign in to "icloud" on both devices & mac with my apple ID. It would be much better if this could be shared/combined with multiple devices as an option. I don't think "icloud drive" solve's this problem.

How do I install Adobe Acrobat as a Google Drive App?

Does Anyone Use Google Drive?
I started using Google Drive when I bought my Acer Chromebook last year... why? I wanted thought a free 100GB Google Drive account sounded nice for just trying a Chromebook. Ok... I can do a lot with my Google Drive, but why can't I edit PDF's?
Someone else out there has probably run into the same problem as me...
Google Docs doesn't seem to do what I need. It allows me to import and convert my PDFs into docx format. Why can't I just edit my PDFs and save in pdf format?
Can Someone Tell me How to Install Acrobat as a Google Drive App?
Thank You,

How do I uninstall Google Drive so that I can reinstall the upgrade?

I have a Mac Air, Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X (10.9.3)
I have been using Google Drive to share files with friends and family but this week began getting a pop-up that I need to upgrade my Google Drive software.
I downloaded the file from Google but when I try to install/replace, I get the following two messages:
The operation can’t be completed because the item “Google Drive” is in use.
The operation can’t be completed because a required item is in use.
My browser is closed so I don't know why it appears that the software is in use.
So, I checked this forum and found that because of some problems with Google Drive and OS X, I need to "uninstall" my current Google Drive application but I don't know how to do that.
Can someone please tell me, step-by-step, how to completely uninstall this software so that I can reload the newer version?
Thanks so much for your help!
Chris Carbaugh

Open Google Drive window. Click On "Settings" at top of window. Select move to trash. Then Empty Trash.

Open PDF with the built in Firefox PDF Viewer on Google Drive

I can't seem to get PDF Files to open on some websites.
For example I use Google Drive for Documents and to print them you need to use a PDF, I try to open the PDF but it just makes me download it. Is their anyway for this to get working?

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

Word, Pages, and google drive not working

I'm on 10.8.5
Yesterday everything was working fine. I was taking notes in a google document. This morning when I tried continuing my notes, I was able to type two words before the tab crashed with the "aw snap. something went wrong" error. I cannot access any google drive files on either Chrome or Safari (latest versions). Chrome continues to give me the "aw snap" error, while Safari simply crashes when I try to access a google drive file. However, my drive works perfectly fine on another computer. I've spoken with google support and done all the troubleshooting they requested of me, but they are still trying to figure out what's wrong.
When I downloaded one of my drive files as a docx and tried opening it in MS Word 2011, Word crashed. Now Word crashes on startup, another thing to add to my problems. When I downloaded the same file as an .rtf and tried opening it, TextEdit crashed. (Fortunately, TextEdit still launches). I was only able to open the downloaded file if I saved it as a .txt
To fix Word, I have tried everything. I deleted the downloaded google doc. I created a new user. I deleted the plist file things, but nothing works.
I bought Pages a few years ago, and kept it zipped. I have never really used it. I unzipped it and launched it, and after a few seconds, it also crashed.
To reiterate, neither Safari nor Chrome can open any of my google drive files (all other websites I tried work fine), and a file I downloaded from my drive seems to have broken my Word, and possibly Pages.
So now, I have no working word processors (unless you count TextEdit...), which is problematic since I'm a student. Are these problems the result of malware that targets word processors? I have not recently downloaded any programs. Everything was working fine just yesterday. Aside from my computer being unable to access most of my word processing programs or word processing sites, I see nothing else wrong with it. I'm very tired and frustrated. Any help?
(ps this is my first time using apple support communities, so please forgive me if I did something wrong or my question is unclear)

I HAVE to use Google Drive at the school I teach at, because the school district has decided to use Google instead of getting a site license from Microsoft. Actually, I have figured out how to upload them: first I need to export them as a Word doc. I can read the documents I put on Google Drive on my home iMac by accessing my personal Google account, but I can't access them on my home computer when using the school email Google account. Still working on this.

Help with IPHOTO storage vs. Google Drive

I presently store all my photos in Finder in a folder call Main Photos. I have tried to avoid synching to Iphoto, but the photos are showing up in Iphoto now. My question is, are the photos being stored twice? I have 110 GIG of photos ... help please.
I don't know if I am wasting 100 G of storage and I want to back up my photos, which is why I use Google Drive.
Thank you,
Jeffrey

If you didn't uncheck the option to copy images to the iphoto library and you did import them into iphoto then yes they are being stored twice.
Before you import anything into iphoto you need to uncheck that option. It is in the iphoto preferences on the advanced page right at the top.
Go in and uncheck that option then close iphoto. Then open a finder window and delete the iphoto library file in the pictures folder in your user name folder. Then you can re-import your images into iphoto and it will leave your images where they are instead of copying all of them and just make a data base of the images.

Pages and Google drive

Files "Keep On Device" from Google Drive (Explore/Opening)

Since Apple won't let you just use a file explorer, like every other smartphone, you have to get creative. When downloading, say, an attachment, you have to use Google Drive to store the file remotely. Now say you want to store it on the iPhone to look at said file, and even open it (in a file explorer style app). First off, you have to select the "keep on device" option for the file, right? So now that that's been done, any suggestions for the file explorer type app? I've been using FileManager, which works alright, but there's gotta be something better out there. Any suggestions? I'd really like to keep things on the free side, unless the app is so amazing that I can't help paying for it.
Thanks,
-Adam

Having issues installing Google Drive

I'm having an issue with a permissions error on our managed Macs using Google Drive. I installed GD and added the permissions for it in Workgroup manager. The issue is the updater program 'ksadmin' gives a permission error. I haven't found a way to allow ksadmin or even to delete it. From what I saw online it says to delete the ksadmin file under
~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ however this directory does not exist. Any other ideas? The permission error comes up constantly.
We are running OX Server 10.6.8 and the client machine is running Mt. Lion.

Since this forum is really to discuss the MacBook Pro hardware, you should take your questions to Canon, where I'm sure you'll get great service from the company.
