Where does icloud icon live....

Dropbox and Drive are accessible thru icons on tool bar on the desktop, what about icloud?... or do i have to manually log in everytime?

Dropbox and Drive are very different services to iCloud. There is no menu bar icon for iCloud.
To access your data stored in iCloud, use the apps provided with OS X - Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Safari etc.
To access iCloud in this way you need to be running OS X 10.7.4 or later as stated in the System Requirements, and have setup iCloud in the System Preferences.

    where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key for file vault?

    Note that you have to have specifically chosen to store the key with Apple at the time you created the FileVault encryption, and chosen security questions so that you can identify yourself when you come to retrieve it. If you did not store it with Apple in this way and do not have a record of it elsewhere then you cannot proceed. All this has nothing to do with iCloud and the process is not automatic.

  • Where does the artwork live ?

    Where in the systm does the artwork 'live' thats associated with tracks ?
    I fully understand how to add it to tracks etc but where does it actually live as I don't see it in the itunes music folder ?

    iTunes stores the artwork inside the music files, if the files support tagging (MP3, AAC).
    Observing the file sizes of AIFF (does not officially support tagging) makes it assumable it is also stored in/attached to these files.
    You can read more about ID3v2 tagging at www.id3.org.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where does iCloud source all it's contacts from?

    Hi,
    I have a really random thing happening on my iCloud (obviously effecting all my apple devices, iPhone 4S, Macbook Pro):
    I have recently had a whole lot of old contacts turn up in my iCloud contacts. Now there weird thing is:
         - these contacts are from a cell phone I would've had about 5 years ago
         - it wasn't a smart phone, was something like a basic nokia or sony ericsson or something
         - the phone was on a different number, and a different sim card, and possibly a different network
         - the contacts weren't stored on the sim card that is currently in my iPhone
         - I didn't do any importing of any kind, they just showed up in my contacts
         - The names of the contacts are showing exactly how I put them in my old phone, ie, the name + some way to remember them (like Gary the guitar guy), so can't have been synced from anything like Facebook.
    My question is, where does iCloud gather it's contact info from?? Over the years I have had hotmail, gmail, facebook, myspace, bebo, etc, does it link with them somehow?
    I receive Microsoft Exchange mail and Gmail on my iPhone, but none of these old contacts show up in the contacts of these two accounts?
    So confusing, and kinda creepy! Anyone know what is going on??
    Thanks

    Ohhhhh whoops just realised what I have done haha
    I copied a whole lot of crap off an old hard drive onto my MacBook Pro .. included in the crap was an old backup of a vCard database I must've done ages ago .. MacBook found it and decided to import it into my contacts automatically!
    As you were, Macbook ...

  • Multiple dispatch and Symmetric methods - Where Does That Code Live?

    Hi all.
    I am stuck with the above problem, which looks to be a very common and fundamental one. Supposing I have some sort of relation or operation to be performed on various different pairs (or n-tuples) of classes of object. Where does this code belong, given that it is not sole property of any one of the classes, but a kind of property of the collection of classes?
    An bad example for me to bring up, but one that neatly illustrates the point, is the equals method. In order to retain the symmetric and transitive properties of the equals method, and object can only make judgement calls about it being equal to another object of it's own type. This prevents the concept of equivalency from crossing between types.
    In order to compare a with b (if a and b are of different types), b must supply some sort of representation of itself as an a, then the comparison statement a.equals(b.asA()); must be called.
    This of course means b must supply an 'asXXX()' method for each class XXX it wishes to equate itself to. Furthermore, by an extension of the equals contract for symmetricality, the method AsB() in class A (if it exists) must be such that, if a.AsB() .equals (b), then b.AsA.equals( a ).
    This sort of design is unfeasible for obvious reasons, the main reason being that it is impossible to anticipate evey case where an instance of class A could reasonably be compared to an instance of some other class X.
    The other annoyance is all that hard work of providing methods to equate A with something else, would go unused for 99% of the time.
    With this in mind, I was thinking. Suppose in some program environment, we have only 3 classes, A, B, and C, such that:
    {A,B} can be meaningfully compared
    {B, C} and {A, C} cannot.
    It would be OK to supply code (somewhere) for comparing A's with B's. We also know that under no circumstances will an A or a B, and a C, ever need to be compared for equality.
    Supposing an extension of this environment were created, introducing class D.
    {D, A} and {D, B} can be meaningfully compared.
    Now, neither A nor C knows what a D is, or how to compare themselves to it. But D was developed with A, B and C in mind, and contains logic for the various comparisons (with A and with B). An obvious idea for this is to let D bring it's new code into play, by registering these new comparison functions in the environment somehow.
    Supposing instead that equality comparison was delegated to some third party, instead. This third party contains a table of pairs of classes, which act as keys to look up a comparison object.
    So, when class A is loaded, something of the sort happens:
    public class A {
        static {
            Equals.comparer.addEntry(A.class, B.class, new EqualsMethod() {
               // details of the EqualsMethod interface implementation go here
    public class B {
        static {
            // since equals is symmetric, this method clashes with the above in A
            // This could happen...
            Equals.comparer.addEntry(B.class, A.class, new EqualsMethod() {
               // ... different approach to the above
    public class D {
        static {
            Equals.comparer.addEntry(D.class, A.class, new EqualsMethod() {
            Equals.comparer.addEntry(D.class, B.class, new EqualsMethod() {
        } // Ds can now be compared with Bs and As. They can now be compared with Ds
    }There is a problem with the above. As can clearly be seen, there are 3 unique situations that might occur between two classes (call them X and Y).
    o One of X or Y contains code to compare them both.
    o Neither X nor Y contain code to compare the two. X equals Y is always false
    o Both X and Y contain code to compare the two.
    The third causes the problem. What if X and Y disagree on how to compare themselves? Which method gets chosen? The only solution would be to let whosever static initialiser gets called first be the one to supply the code.
    I said before that equals was a bad example to bring up. this is because the usage of equals and the concept of equality in java is already well defined, and works just fine. However, in my own pet project at the moment, I have run into the same problems as outlined above.
    I am currently assembling a generic pattern API for use in various other applications I am writing (I was finding that I was writing code for matching objects to patterns, in different guises, quite frequently, so I made the decision to refactor it into its own package). An important part of the API is the section that handles the logic for combining patterns, ie with AND, OR and NOT operations.
    The Pattern interface is this:
    interface Pattern<E> {
         public boolean match(E toMatch);
         public Pattern<E> not();
         public Pattern<E> or(Pattern<E> other);
         public Pattern<E> and(Pattern<E> other);
    }There are a few basic Patterns:
    TruePattern<E> - a pattern that always returns true no matter what E is passed for it toMatch
    FalsePattern<E> - self-explanatory.
    ExactValuePattern<E> - true if and only if the E that it is passed toMatch is .equal to the E that this pattern was constructed with.
    NotPattern<E> - a pattern that contains another pattern, and returns true for any E that returns does not match it's contained pattern. Used for when the contained pattern cannot be logically reduced to one pattern under the NOT method in the Pattern interface
    AndPattern<E> - a pattern that contains 2 other patterns, and returns true for some E iff both contained patterns return true for that E. Used for when the 2 patterns cannot be logically reduced into one pattern via the AND method in the Pattern interface
    OrPattern<E> - self explanatory
    RangePattern<E extends Comparable <E>> - a pattern for comparing if some Comparable lies between two other comparables.
    Every pattern has the opportunity to provide a reduction, when combined with another pattern through And or Or. For example, any pattern AND a FalsePattern can be reduced just the FalsePattern. any pattern OR a TruePattern can be reduced to just the TruePattern.
    The methods AND and OR from the Pattern interface present the same problems as the .equals() example I was using before.
    o AND and OR are symmetric operations
    o There exist situations where two patterns of unrelated class could be meaningfully combined (and reduced) under these two operations.
    Example: The pattern on Integers '0 < X < 3' and 'X is 5' can be reduce to the FalsePattern
    Example: The pattern on Doubles '0 < X <= 10' or 'X is 5.5' or 'X is 7.2' can be reduced to '0 < X <= 10'.
    Example: The pattern on Integers ('0 <= X <= 5' and 'X is not 0') or ('X is 6') or ('x is 7') can be reduced to '1<=X<=7'.
    So the question is, where does the code belong? a.and(b) should return the same as b.and(a), but both b and a may well disagree as to what happens when they are combined under and. At present, both a and b need to supply their own separate implementations. Clearly though, the code for combining patterns A and B belongs to neither A alone, not B alone, but to A and B as a whole.
    Thanks in advance, and sorry for this overlong post.

    So the equivalent thing in my scenario would be an
    AndAnator, and an OrAnator? :)
    The thing is, it would be nice for comparison between
    A and B to take place automatically, without the poor
    coder having to maintain a reference to a Comparator
    and invoke the comparison method each time. Likewise
    in my situation, it'd be nice to say A.or(B) instead
    of andAnator.and(A,B), yet have all the goodness of a
    third party doing the comparison (or in this case,
    the anding).
    I am going to go and test this all out, but do you
    have any suggestions on a good structure? I think it
    would involve pulling the and/or/not methods from the
    interface (this appeals, as many implementors may not
    wish to supply logic for running these methods
    anyhow), and then putting them... somewhere else.I didn't consider your speicifc problem very deeply because after such a long detailed explanation I figured you'd be up for kicking around the idea for a while.
    In your case, I see that you would want to be able to call the and and or methods on the Objects themselves. Luckily, in this case, I think you can have your cake and eat it too.
    You can make your and and or methods fa�ades to the third party 'referee'. This way you can enfore symmetry. It's difficult (if not impossible) to enoforce transitivity with this design but I think you don't even need that in this case. That is if a == b and b == c then a == c should be true but if a and b and b and c then a and c is not necessarily true. In your case, it may not even make sense.

  • TS3988 where does iCloud Control Panel keep its error logs

    Hi, Korgun. Your short version is a little too short and your long version much too complicated for me to be certain I understand your situation correctly, but I'll take a shot.
    Every volume (a hard drive, or a partition on a hard drive, or a CD, DVD, etc.) that has OS 9 installed on it contains an invisible Desktop Folder, and in that folder are all the items that appear on the desktop when you boot into OS 9, except your hard drive and the Trash.
    The fact that you can't boot to either OS on your old drive suggests that its directory may be damaged, in which case it wouldn't be surprising if, in addition to being unable to boot to it, you also couldn't find some things on it. If that drive mounts normally on the desktop when you boot into OS X on the other drive, use the Repair Disk function in Disk Utility (open the copy of DU on the good drive after making sure nothing is running on the bad one) to try to fix the directory on the bad drive. Run the Repair Disk routine repeatedly until you've gotten two successive "Appears OK" verdicts. Assuming DU is successful, you should then be able to double-click the Desktop folder on the repaired drive and access all the files that are on that drive's OS 9 desktop.
    If I've misunderstood your situation, my apologies, and would you please try to clarify matters?

    I ran into this the other day and it was driving me nuts. The picture associated with your email can reside in any folder that you have photos in on your Mac. I thought that my photo was the one associated with my user account when I set up my Mac so I went to Accounts in System Preferences only to find that it was a different photo than the one in my email.
    The photo in your user account is a photo that was taken with Photo Booth when you set up your Mac. The photo associated with your email can be any photo on your Mac. Try this - open Address Book and see if that is the same photo you see in your email. If you want to delete it, simply click on the photo to highlight it and hit delete. If you want to use a new photo, icon, avatar or whatever, double click on the box next to your name to bring up a camera/photo browser. You can take a new photo of yourself or select a photo, icon, or avatar on your Mac that you are able to navigate to.

The video is on my phone and I can watch it on my phone but iTunes on my Mac can't find it and iMovie doesn't recognize my iPhone as a camera, so it won't download the video.
