ICloud :: IDisk Utility Gone After Upgraded To Lion 10.7.4
Jul 2, 2012
I just just changes from mobile me to icloud and upgraded to Lion, 10.7.4. idisk is no longer supported. I had recently run idisk which indicated a hard drive problem. Before I run out and buy new software and/or take my heavy imac to Apple store. I have an old version of disk warrior, but wouldn't trust with with all the new upgrades.
I have waited as long as possible to upgrade to Lion because SL works fine for me.But iDisks days are numbered and I have no choice but to upgrade.I have a lot of work files in iDisk.Now I need to get them to iCloud, but I am not sure how to do so or even if I can do so.As a precaution, I've put them (or most of them until I ran out of free space) into Dropbox.Now Dropbox wants me to pay $99/year for more space.I paid that for mobileme and was okay with it, but now it gripes me that I have to pay for something non-Apple (that was the whole reason I left the pc world) because what Apple now has (iCloud) won't do what I need it to do.
I spent some time avoiding Lion after being part of seeding, even to the extent of buying a new MacPro last year, that would not require Lion. I wish to stay with Snow Leopard until a new OS apeals to me, might be Mountain Lion, might be Puma or Lynx. I now see that I have been caught out - MobileMe, iCal, iSync, iDisk etc will end and move (with limited comparability to MobileMac) to iCloud, and so far, it seems that this requires Lion exclusively!Â
Is this really so? Has Apple really become so violently unfriendly to its friends and associates - its Users, that it will actively and knowingly ignore their pleas, for a return to intelligent Operating Systems and Applications - I was told recently that Apple was only interested in those who are not yet Mac users. This would be very sad.Â
It does fit though with Apple's behaviour regarding FCP - I'd used used FCP since version 1, now I must stay with the ever aging version 7 or go to Adobe or Avid - neither of whom I enjoy working with. I might just have to invest huge money into a Heavyworks or Quantel system - I loathed FCPX! But really this is ultimately about Apple's direction. Why has it now become so narrow, when once it was possible to be many versions behind the current and still function?

I just upgraded to OS X Lion 10.7.3 and now it's telling me I can't open the application Quicken anymore, because PowerPC applications are no longer supported! I sincerely hope someone knows how to resolve this. I'm in big trouble! I get the same message when I try to open Excel, Word, and a game called Mah Jong.
i have been using iDisk as back-up storage and as an FTP site (using FileChute) for client files.From what i can tell, this will no longer be possible with iCloud. Worked simply and quickly. Hope there is an iCloud alternative.
My .mac account became a .me account. Now .me is going away for icloud. I currently use the "Backup" software to make scheduled back ups to my idisk account. Does anyone know if backup will still work in the post-icloud world?
I was usnig the iDisk on my older iMac to backup some of my data files, such as my Quicken backup. My older computer had crashed and I have not been able to access the icloud idisk.
From my Mac (OSX 10.7.4, all updates current) the Backup application to iCloud has stopped working.Â
When I look at iCloud in system preferences I see that I have 23.77GB of 25GB available. I edited the Backup schedule, and was able to re-establish a backup with iDisk as the destination. System Preferences says that my iDisk usage is 21.47GB total, 8.37GB used, 13.11GB available. iDisk sync is off.
When I run the backup, it all looks happy for a few seconds, and then I see the message "This plan has never been backed up to this destination". I have never used Back to My Mac.Â
What I want is to be able to automatically backup my Mac to storage on the Internet, for which I (thought) I have paid Apple. What do I need to do in order to get Backup working again?Â
How do I use the document and data of i-Cloud as backup of my i-Disk. I would like to move i-Disk stuff to that. Also, is it like i-Disk in that is is seperate from the computer (in a cloud as it were)?
I am trying to downgrade my iDisk storage capacity from 20 to 10 GB. I am following directions, but after selecting the desired option, the system does not give me any prompts to follow. I need to do this before June 30.
I've migrated my MobileMe info to iCloud, though I'm stuck on Snow Leopard on my MacPro (I work with FCP 7 a lot). iDisk is dead right? We're not able to access our iCloud data via iDisk are we?Should I just hide iDisk in Finder Preferences since I can't use it anymore?
Should I log out of my MobileMe account in System Preferences to prevent anything that might have used iDisk from trying to access it?
Why not have Apple move all iDisk contents automatically or by request to iCloud? Why do I need to copy and paste my saved iDisk items back to my MAC or storage device? The iDisk items are already located in an Apple server, so transfer them to iCloud.

I upgraded to Lion by download and I need to reformat my hard drive. How can I reinstall Lion without a disk? I have a Time Machine backup of my hard drive on an external drive.
Using Lion Server, can I create a space that would be like iDisk for my users to save and access documents and files remotely? Also to make that shared between users? Basically make my own cloud space.
I have turned on File Sharing on the server, and having logged into my iDisk via Finder, I thought I could drag the folder from the Finder window to the Public folder icon on Lion Server, but no luck. Â
I am signed into Lion Server as the admin, so what should I do? I'm trying to copy those files from the iDisk before time runs out and Apple scrubs iDisk!Â
