Will Creative Cloud fill up my hard drive?

I like the idea of importing photos to the Creative Cloud via one device and then having them available on other devices but am I right in saying that by syncing the files, they will be copied multiple times to all my devices? My laptop only has a small hard drive and will be very quickly fill up.

Thanks, Warner. I did have a look around but couldn't see an answer there. Just wondered if anyone had already looked into this. As it turns it, I started using the space on the Creative Cloud and I very quickly got a message saying I had used all my space. What is the limit on my package (I pay around $100 per year I think)? I only uploaded around 200 RAW files so I'm guessing it doesn't amount to very much.

Does the desktop creative cloud folder take up hard drive space?

I know this is proabaly a stupid question but does the creative cloud file folder use hard drive space. So in other words, I place a 24MB picture in that Creative Cloud File folder to sync with my cloud files and other devices. Is it taking up 24MB of space on my macbook air? For some reason my brain is not processing this. There must be some advantage to storage and some type of preview instead of fully storing the file on my local computer but just checking to see how this works. Thanks.

It's a folder on your HD. And just like any other folder on your HD it occupies space. The more content you have inside it, the more space it takes.

Download the creative cloud apps to external hard drive?

Hello,
My wife just purchased the creative cloud, but our home connection is horrible.
I need to download the huge files to an external hard drive here at work where we have a fast connection.
Then take that hard drive home to install them on her Mac laptop, where she can plug in her license information.
I went and tried/followed all the online adobe help, but there still was no place/menu I could find where I could *target the download* to.
This should be easy ... right?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
[email protected]

Hi christiswimmer,
With respect to the issue that you are facing , my suggestion would be to download the product from Adobe.com/downloads as a trial version and save it over to your Hard Drive . Once you are at home , you can simply connect the same hard drive to the wife's mac and install the same . it would get converted to a full version during the installation as soon as you enter the Adobe id and Password .
Hope this helps,

Targeted erase of Creative Cloud Files on my hard drive.

Hi,
All my Creative Cloud files have been deleted off my Macbook.
Interestingly enough, it was only the files inside the Creative Cloud folder, nothing else was touched.
My main client folders are still viewable, but all content within are gone.
YI can sync to the cloud and pull all my files, but I had been working without a internet and some files weren't synced.
So i'm going to have to play catch up over the weekend. Im slightly annoyed that ONLY my CC folder was effected. Everything else was untouched.
Has anyone had this issue? Is it related to CC's security? Some insight would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Dominic

With the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown). The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
This occurs once, after the last update completes.
The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to. If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.

I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.
I am trying to put my iPhone4 into recovery and then will restore it. iTunes starts extracting the software. But the iPhone reboots and by the time the software has completed extraction, the iPhone can no longer be seen by iTunes.
We have a very small hard drive on our laptop. Each time iTunes does an extraction, it uses up more space on the C: drive.
Nothing frees up that used drive space. Not closing iTunes or rebooting the computer. Nothing.
How do we release / delete these files?

TS3276 I am having an email come back as a recovered email, every 10 seconds filling up my hard drive. I need to stop that from happening.

How do you stop a recovered email from coming back repeatedly? I sent an email to my wife with pictures, it keeps coming back to me every 10 to 15 seconds and is saved to hard drive in the user/mail folder. I need to figure out why it keeps doning this. Would it be my email service(AOL) that is doing this?
Thanks

The solution I found is to set my IMAP accounts (in the Advanced tab) to "Don't keep copies of any messages", then set rules that copy messages to local folders. My setup is pretty complicated, but this would work even if you have just one rule that copies everything into a single local folder. This gets around the problem that the OS warns you about when you use this setting, that Spotlight will no longer be able to search for messages. Spotlight keeps building and caching redundant indexes of IMAP accounts, consuming huge amounts of hard drive space. In my case, because I have tremendous volume of incoming mail and multiple IMAP accounts, this could eat up 30GB in a single afternoon. Unless you regularly quit mail, reboot, and run something like Lion Cache Cleaner, this eventually fills up the hard drive. I'm sure Apple will fix the problem sometime in the future, but, in the meantime, this is a pretty painless work-around.

Creative Cloud to New Solid State Drive

Hello,
I am upgrading my mac mini with a solid state drive, although i already have Creative Cloud on my current harddrive. Will I be able to download Creative Cloud to my solid state drive from the same Creative Cloud account? Or will I need to subscribe to a new membership?

You should be fine to make a copy of your current setup onto a SSD disc, using SuperDuper:
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/superduperdescription.html
I am going the same way as you soon, and got this description from the guys at Shirt-Pocket:
First, prepare the new drive (in a drive dock or similar) by partitioning it:
* Start Disk Utility
* Select the external drive hardware in the sidebar
* Click the Partition tab (if it doesn't appear, you selected the volume, not the drive hardware above it)
* Use Disk Utility's controls to divide the drive as needed, even as a single large partition. Use "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as the format type and name appropriately
* Click Options
* Choose the proper partition scheme (GUID for Intel macs, Apple Partition Map for Power PC) and accept the page
* Click Partition.
Then, make a full "Backup - all files" with "Smart Update" or "Erase, then copy" to the new drive.
Rename the drive to have the *same* name as the original.
Now, shut down and swap the drives.
Power back up -- you'll notice it'll take a while to start (it's looking for the original drive). When it finally boots, open System Preferences and select the new drive as the startup drive in the Startup Disk preference pane.
You will of ourse need to make sure that the amount of data on your current drive does not exceed the size of the SSD.

I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files. The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB. How do I solve problem?

I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
To resolve the problem, I used Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

Will recovery disks work on new hard drive

I just installed new hard drive on hp laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I used the iso file installation disc. Now I would like to use the recovery disks I made 2.5 years ago to load the original software and drivers as when the pc was new. When I put Disc 1 in the drive the pc does nothing. I've been reading online that you have to change the order of the drives in the BIOS so the pc will boot from the dvd drive.
Then further research online, I read that recovery disks will not work on a new hard drive, and on a smaller drive than was previously installed.
I did do a full system backup from old hard drive, so I have those 3 discs. I have not tried that. Basically all I use pc for is web browsing,email and an occassional movie.
I guess I just want it to seem like a new pc with all the original software and drivers.
I downloaded hp support assistant, however it states that new updates are not needed. That can't be right.
I went to hp download page, but not sure which drivers/software to download.
This is wearing me out. Please help if you have any suggestions/advice. Thank you!

Paul, thank you for answering. I have a HP Pavilion DV7-4270us.
From my research, I don't believe the operating system is on the recovery disks. I am very hesitant to work with the recovery disks again. Anyway my new hard drive is 500 GB which is smaller than the old 640 GB that was previously installed from the factory. So the recovery disks may not work on a smaller drive.
At this point, I would like to get back HP Media Smart and Synaptics click pad working. I have downloaded the driver for the clickpad, but it does not operate like it used to. No settings to choose from etc. I downloaded the Media Smart Software package and driver, but the software package is not there. I was just reading online, and found a link for the Simple Pass Identity Protection fingerprint reader. I downloaded it, and seems so far to work. Also, on the keyboard the light on the keyboard button for (volume on and off) remains lit all the time. It used to light up only when the volume was off.
Man, you sure can run into all kinds of problems when you install a new hard drive. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Ken.

gj,
Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Using iTunes match will this clear room on the hard drive

Simply enabling iTunes Match will not "clear room on the hard drive." You will have to delete the tracks from iTunes manually. But you should read this first: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup.

Will Time Capsule work as External Hard-Drive?

I'm looking for a device to move all my pics and video to as my MacBook Air is running out of storage. I was told by a sales guy at a Mac Store (not apple store) that the Airport Time Capsule would not work because it only does a mirror back-up and any files that I delete off my MacBook would also get deleted off the Time Capsule. First, is this true? Second if so what device will work as a wireless external hard drive for my MacBook?

I was told by a sales guy at a Mac Store (not apple store) that the Airport Time Capsule would not work because it only does a mirror back-up and any files that I delete off my MacBook would also get deleted off the Time Capsule.
There is some confusion here between Time Machine and Time Capsule.
The software that backs up your Mac is Time Machine.. it is not going to provide an alternative to storage locally.. so if you delete items from the Mac hard disk .. TM will delete the file from the backup.
What the Time Capsule basically is.. a wireless router with a dumb hard disk inside.. that has nothing to do with backups... but neither is it a fully fledged NAS.. it is kind of like any low level router to which you plug in a hard disk.. the fact that TC has it internal helps its speed but adds nothing to its functionality.
You can indeed store your files on a TC..
With the following provisions..
1. Time Machine will no longer work. TM is limited to local disks..
2. iphoto in particular is specifically stated by apple to be an application that needs a local disk.. using network disk.. ie TC will result in corruption.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
Although mostly about FAT32 it adds network drives.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
Note this applies to all network drives.. not just TC .. everything.
3. No backup.. your files are now sitting on a Time Capsule.. TM cannot back them.. and here TC fails to be a NAS.. all NAS can back themselves up to a backup USB disk.. TC cannot do this.. there is no incremental backup available.. and so if you want to backup your files you must do it manually ie copy and paste .. or use a decent backup software like Carbon Copy Cloner.. since it is beyond TM. And then the question arises . .where are you going to target the backups.. the very worst location is over wireless to a USB on the TC.. since that will make for extraordinarily slow backups.
I'm looking for a device to move all my pics and video to as my MacBook Air is running out of storage.
The correct place to do this is an external drive plugged into the MBA. So TM can continue to backup the files to the TC.
if so what device will work as a wireless external hard drive for my MacBook?
There is no such thing as a wireless external hard drive.. you must plug an external drive into the MBA by USB or FW or Thunderbolt depending on the age of the unit.. All wireless drives are network.. very few exist.. Most NAS are devices you plug into a wireless router.. and I would recommend against wireless built into a NAS.. it will not be as good or fast as a wireless router.
TC can be pressed into service.. as long as you are prepared to deal with backups.. and the fact that you will eventually corrupt your iphoto library and should really use TC only for storage not live files.
