What happened to my iDisk files?

Today I changed from MobileMe to iCloud. Now I can't find the files I had in iDisk? Are they gone? What is iCloud's equivilant?

I had the same issue. The iDisk disappeared from my desktop. The files/folders are all still there in MobileMe (as they should be until next June), but you have to go in to System Preferences and restart your iDisk. I have no idea why turning on iCloud shut off the iDisk, but that seems to be what has happened. Unfortuately I am travelling and have a poor internet connection and so it is taking forever for the iDisk to redownload to my laptop. Thus, I can't confirm that my advice is good as I am still trying to recover my iDisk myself.
The other annoying thing is that it seems that once iDisk goes away for good in June 2012, you will have to have the iWork products on your machine for the documents feature in iCloud to work. This remains unclear to me, but that seems to be the case.

What happens to migrated idisk files after June 30th.

what happens to migrated idisk files after June 30th?

Just to be clear, there are no 'migrated files'. If you migrate, the iDisk remains untouched and accessible exactly as before (though you may need to sign in at System Preferences>MobileMe again). Whether or not you migrate, the iDisk will be teminated at the end of June and its contents erased.
iCloud does not provide any equivalent facility, so you will need to find a third-party solution. This page examines some options:

Any webspace that provides enough data transfer to cope with your podcasts will do fine. Although check the terms & conditions of whichever webhost you go for, as some may have restrictions on just using their webspace for externally linked files, rather than a website as well.
How much data transfer your podcasts use will depend on how popular they are. MobileMe webhosting allowed 200GB of data transfer per month. If you never went over that, then as long as the new host matches or exceeds that you'll be ok.

What happened to my iDisk on my mac desk top?

what happened to my iDisk on my mac desk top?
It's gone and I can't sync it?
Does this have something to do with iCloud?

MobileMe terminated on 1 July and it has not been possible to mount the iDisk on your Desktop nor sync it since then. Its contents have now been deleted.
If you were running 'iDisk Syncing' then you should go to System Preferences>MobileMe>iDisk and turn it off; and to the Sync pane and stop any syncing which is running; then go to the Account pane and sign out, removing your username and password. This is to prevent error messages arising from an inability to contact the server.
If you were running iDisk Syncing you may be able to locate the disk image which constituted the local copy. This lives in (user)/Library/FileSync unless you have found a folder on your Desktop called 'previous local iDisk for....' which would contain it. If you open this image you should find that it contains a copy of the contents of your iDisk at the time of the last sync.
iCloud does not provide an equivalent service. If you want online file storage you will need to find an alternative - this page examines some options:

If I delete a file in iCloud, what happens to the local file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents ?

If I delete a file in iCloud, what happens to the local file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents ? Does it get deleted to?
Hope somebody can help.
Thx.

I'm pretty certain that it gets deleted as well. If you try and open that mobile documents folder, it takes you to the iCloud drive folder. I've been searching for this same issue for the last 24 hours also as I inadvertently deleted my Keynote files stored on iCloud drive thinking I was just temporarily deleting Keynote from my iPad when upgrading to the latest iOS 8 version. (I needed space and thought, "Oh, I'll just reinstall later... Turns out I was in the iCloud storage area, not in my iPad storage area at the time and therefore deleted all my iCloud stored presentations. From every device.)

What happened to ADOBE workspaces files after being downloaded before retirement?

What happened to ADOBE workspaces files after being downloaded before retirement?

I had this problem as well! I was working on one of several projects I had, I'm pretty sure they were saved on the computer, my computer started to chug, I reset it, and they ALL disappeared! I can't find any of the files anywhere on the hard drive, but I also can't sign into the cloud to see if they somehow got moved. I reset again, and still nothing.
When I try to log into the cloud it tells me the sync failed. Since I only just signed up for the subscription I don't know if it's common for it to go down, or what.

What happens to table when file is transfering ?

There is code in Z-program which puts a 'Z' in the blocked field of ZCCOD whenever a file is transmitted.
I mean file is transfering from SAP to mainframes
Can anybody tell what happens if the table is in <b>edit mode</b> (e.g., via SM30) at the time of transmit? Do the changes get lost or do they get queued up or what?
Could you please you please explan in detail. You correct(no guessings please ) explanation is highly appreciated.

The Z-Program will update the database irrespective of the table being edited in SM30. The user wont see the updated data until he comes out of the existing transaction and goes back again.
<b>Nothing is queued up.</b>
Also if the program updates the data and if the user editing the table in SM30 saves his changes, the changes made by the Z-program will be overwritten.
The best way to avoid this problem is to add a check in your Z-program. Use the function ENQUEUE_READ to check if the table key the program is trying to update is locked and perform further processing.

What happened to the Adobe file dialog in CS4?

Am I missing something or is the adobe open file dialog gone in CS4? I loved the ability to assign favorite folders on the left margin since I have so many files and drilling down into folders is such a repetitive chore! What happened?
Also, don't know if anyone else has encountered this but it appears that since I installed CS4 master collection several of my most often used open type fonts are no longer recognized: Cronos Pro and Myriad Pro.

Yup, the "Adobe Dialog" seems to be gone, gone, gone ...
In terms of the fonts, where were those fonts installed? I also have full families of Cronos Pro and Myriad Pro installed on all my systems outside of the suite and have not encountered any problems is their use after installing the CS4 Master Collection. Are those same fonts still visible in the Windows Fonts Control Panel and accessible from other applications? If so, you may want to delete all the
AdobeFnt##.lst files on your system and then startup a suite program and see if that fixes the AWOL fonts.

What happened to TGA/Targa file format support?

Tonight I tried to import some old scans of photos—I'm cleaning up my files and organizing. Well, back in the day (1993 or so) the scanning system I worked on used Targa (.tga) as its output format. So I have a number of them.
When I tried to import them into Aperture, it would not accept them. I tried to drag and drop and do a manual import. On the manual import, the thumbnails wouldn't even appear.
I get that Targa is not a common file format these days, and I don't see Targa in the list of supported file formats for Aperture 3, but what happened? TGA is in the list of supported file formats for Aperture 2.
I'm a little concerned about having to convert all my Targas to TIFFs, but that's not the end of the world. What frightens me is: how many files did Aperture just throw away when I converted my library from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3? I don't know whether I imported any of my old Targas before upgrading to Aperture 3, but if I did, are they now gone?

I seriously doubt they were deleted. Open up the library package folder then search for .tga within that folder.

HT4796 what happens to the transferred files when the migration aborts?

My migration aborted after an hour because the windows computer went to sleep. What happened to the files that already transferred? Where are they stored during the transfer? The mac is mtn lion.

Look in /var/folders
In my case /var/folders/zz/blahblahlbah/T/.XMSandbox-tmp/Users/userid/Root
rebooting got rid of them

What happened to PSE10 Editor Files?

I went to fire up my PSE10 Editor today and received and error message to the effect that the files couldn't be found; please reinstall.
Then when I went to start the Organizer, I got the error message that online services could not be initialized...please reinstall. I can click through and get the Organizer to come up, however.
What's happening? Where did the files go? Nothing was done to them via user initiated actions.
I want to make certain that my Organizer data is not lost since I have spent hours tagging my photos and organizing them.
Thank you !
[ Jeff ]

Peran:
Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. Actually, this was installed from a retail package on discs. I eventually did speak to Adobe support, but they were not helpful in telling me "what happened," just to reinstall. This makes me a bit nervous since I don't want to lose any of my tags and EXIF data that I have carefully entered over the last few months.
Later today, I might try to reinstall the editor.
The Organizer is now telling me to reinstall because it can't initiate online services, but I am hoping that when I reinstall the Editor, this will address that as well.
I didn't mention that I was working on a Macintosh running OS X 10.6.8
This is somewhat disappoointing since I thought Elements would be a "stable" package. i was using GIMP which met most of my needs, but I thought a commercial package would be a more "stable" choice. I am now having my doubts.
Once again, thank you!

What happens to my local files once I activate iCloud?

Does my HD automatically delete everything and free up space? Before I turn on iCloud services and put my entire music and photo library 'up there' I want to understand what happens locally. I want to free up some HD space, but I'd like to keep a copy of everything locally on storage media. Do I need to do that first? Or do I need to manually clean up my HD once my content is pushed up to the cloud?

Does my HD automatically delete everything and free up space? Before I turn on iCloud services and put my entire music and photo library 'up there' I want to understand what happens locally.
What will happen:
When you move a file from your internal drive to iCloud Drive, it will really be moved. Deleted from the internal drive and stored in iCloud.
But once the file has been uploaded, the Mac will download a shadow copy of the file from iCloud, and this file will be stored locally on your Mac in your user library and also be included in your Time Machine backups. There is a short interval, where you neither can access the file in iCloud nor on your Mac. It is safer to copy to iCloud and not to move. Once you are sure, the document can be accessed in iCloud and uploaded successfully, you can delete the original. But because of the shadow copies you cannot save any space on your Mac using iCloud Drive.
Document types you can store on iCloud Drive:
Basically, you can store any type of document on iCloud Drive, as long as it is smaller than 15GB.
But for Music, it would be easier to use iTunes Match. This will sync your iTunes library between devices. And other than iCloud Drive, you can store the entire music library in iTunes Match and save space on your mac.
For photos, iCloud Drive is not optimal. You can store folders with photos, but they will not show up on your mobile devices in the Photos.app. And you cannot store your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library on iCloud Drive. Photo libraries need to be stored on a locally mounted drive. Shared volumes and cloud storage are not supported by iPhoto or Aperture.
Apple is developing iCloud Photo Library (Beta). See this link: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
This library is already available on mobile iOS8 devices, but not yet on the Mac. It is supposed to be supported later this year, when Apple releases a Photos.app for the Mac. Until then, you can only access this photo library using the web interface at https://www.icloud.com/ using the Photos(Beta) app on that page.

What happens when I delete files from my HD

OK, my HD is getting quite full, so at some point I am going to have to take stuff off that I don't need and back them up to DVD or something.
I know that in windows you have to defragment your HD all the time, or it gets messy and starts to run slow.
But Mac OSs work differently, I believe they automatically defrag all content greater than 20 MB, so there is never any need to perform this kind of maintenance.
But what if I start deleting files all over the place, some <20MB, inevitably leaving spaces, how does the system deal with this? It sounds potentially hazardous to do this.
Perhaps someone can explain this to me, suppose I delete a 5MB somewhere in the middle of my HD. Does the system rewrite all the files from that point on, going back 5MB in disk space (if you know what I mean) or does it leave a space, making a note that it is there and waits until a suitable files around the same size comes along and stores it there?

STU9000,
Also for redoing your system you might look into Archive and Install. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
About Archive and Install
Available in Mac OS X 10.2 and later, an Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

What happens to the music files when I delete iTunes?

OK, I have iTunes and over the years I have moved files about and tried to organize and back up stuff! And now it seems like I have three of each track showing in iTunes. Some of these, when you click on you get an exclamation mark and a file can't be found! Now to go through it one would be labourious and very very time-consuming.
So if I straight up uninstall, and hunt down any reference to iTunes on my PC, what will happen to all my music files? Do they go in the uninstall? Am I best backing them up to another hard drive for safe keeping first? (I'll probably do that any way) Or are they safe where they are until I reinstall iTunes? Will this fix my deadlinks and duplaicate problem?
Many thanks

Am I best backing them up to another hard drive for safe keeping first? (I'll probably do that any way) Or are they safe where they are until I reinstall iTunes?
Uninstalling iTunes will not delete your music files. However, other things will, such as a hard drive failure or physical damage. So yes, you should always have a backup of your valuable music.

What happened to my iweb file

I wrote my web site with iweb9 and recently updated our entire ilife suite with a family license pack. Now whenever I go into iweb the program does not give me the ability to open my published site. Instead it acts like I need to register which I keep doing over and over again. My program say's that it updated to 3.03. What can I do to get the program operating? HELP AND THANKS.

There is no earthy point in looking for files on your iDisk because they are published files and iWeb has no import facility so cannot open them anyway.
The very same when you say that you tried to open an index file. iWeb can't do it, because it is an html file, so there is no point in trying.
If you create a website in iWeb, then the domain.sites file will be there and you only need to look in one place for this - your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Double click on the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it. If you have created a site before, then your domain file will be there - remember to look in your User Library and not your System Library, as iWeb is not there. If you can't find the file, then do a spotlight search for it - it has to be somewhere if you created and published the site, but don't look on iDisk, there is just no point as iWeb can't open these files anyway.
As Roddy has already pointed out, there is no iWeb 11 or iDVD 11. It is iLife 11 and then the original versions of both iWeb and iDVD which were not updated as part of iLife 11.
