Re: Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data - has become Apple iCloud

Daniel, I've never used iCloud other than for its find my phone function and find my Mac function and doubt that I ever will, thumb drives will do for me. I don't remember seeing terms, conditions, caveats or warnings. All I'm aware of is if I go to system preferences then select iCloud and

Aaah ­ thanks for the clarification David. Yes, sometimes one wonders if the mutterings of incantations or the casting of runes might be beneficial ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R. Houghton Albany, Western Australia Tel: +61 8 9841 6063 Email: n...@possumology.com on 2/1/17 14:35, David

Re: Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data - has become Apple iCloud

I wasn’t going to reply to this, but there is incorrect information Michael. That’s actually not correct. If you’re using iCloud Drive and your Desktop and Documents are in the cloud, when you turn it off, they come back. I know this,…as I’ve changed it around for clients. When it’s set up, it

Re: Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data

It also says you can choose to keep local copies, AND copies are kept in the cloud so no data is lost and if you change your mind then it will all download again. None of this is an insurmountable problem, it's clear, helpful, free and well documented with when you tick or unstick or on the

Re: Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data

Well.. Yes. That IS true on several levels. My initial query was very clearly about me wanting, desperately to make sure it DID sync. The only replies I have had are from nay sayers with other beefs about iCloud that are spurious to the initial query, and further responses to this thread are

Re: Blocked from Google

Hi Neil -- -- You may not have received the last part of my rely to Ronni explaining the cause of the problem. This was, in my Network preferences, under Proxy, somehow "Web Proxy" and "Security Proxy" had become ticked. I never accessed these, so it was presumably some glitch in Sierra which set

And if you tick the "off" box a warning appears on the screen to the effect that if iCloud is turned off, all data will be removed from the computer. If that's not being held to ransom, I don't what is Cheers, Michael Sent from my iPhone > On 2 Jan 2017, at 2:23 pm, Michael Hawkins

All I know is that If you don't want anything to go to iCloud Drive, you have to make sure that the "On" box is not ticked. Cheers, Michael Sent from my iPhone > On 2 Jan 2017, at 2:06 pm, Tim Law wrote: > > Bill, > > I don't agree that iCloud is only useful for

Re: Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data

Bill, I don't agree that iCloud is only useful for finding a lost phone. I didn't seek advise on iCloud security nor what my personal choices of how the technology suits my lifestyle should be. The purpose for my initial request for guidance and support on a technical matter has been

Re: Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data

Time, I don’t think its necessary to be forced by Apple to do anything. I use Bing to search and unless I clear all sites after doing so I notice ads popping up for service I was previously searching for. Kill off Cookies! iCloud? Extremely useful for finding a lost phone, but not much

Re: Blocked from Google

Hi Ronni, I have not been experiencing any of these problems myself – but I find it all very interesting stuff. So, if I read the article correctly, they say that it it is the browser being used that allows or disallows access? So, presumably, the reason David has no problems with his SL

Re: Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data

Michael my recollection from the last month, was that prior to me making a decision to use iCloud to sync my Photos, that I used iTunes, which I understand is the default, or at least was the only option for many years. This worked fine, but for the reasons I have already stated, I chose to
