ICloud :: Mobile Documents Folder Missing In 10.7.3?
Feb 2, 2012
I have a 13" MacBook Air and a 27" iMac that I just did the combo update to 10.7.3. Since I have updated, I am missing the mobile documents folder. If I upload a pages document to icloud.com on my iMac and then go to icloud.com on my MacBook Air, it show's the file, however, it's the default pages icon, and it doesn't give me the opportunity to download it. Â
Because of this, I thought I'd look in the "Mobile Documents" folder and see if I can access it from there. However not that folder is missing. I have tried many different ways to get it to show up but I've been unable to. Â
I'm curious if Apple realized some people were using this folder as a "Dropbox" and disabled or further hid the folder so people can't sync files back and forth. More importantly, why doesn't icloud.com work for me as it used to?Â
Anyone know of any tricks to get the Mobile Documents folder to show up in 10.7.3?
Is there a way to get my everything in my Documents folder onto my iDisk without having to actually moving the former? I tried symbolic links which worked for DropBox, but for MobileMe, I got an error saying that it's not compatible with symbolic links.

We have a 1TB Apple Time Capsule for documents like invoices, client agreements, etc. Sometimes during video shoots we need certain files like scripts, schedules, inventory lists, etc. How can I view the documents on the Time Capsule via mobile Safari on my iPhone? I don't want to use my MobileMe iDisk b/c we have more than 10GB of files. And it needs to be through the Time Capsule bc we don't want to deal with duplicate files if we had copies on DropBox or iDisk.
using my early 2006 iMac with an Intel Core Duo processor. I have read several guides online on how to access the processor (taking apart the case, etc), and I am confident I am capable of undertaking the task. After reading this guide I feel like I will be able to do it myself (with the help of my electrical/mechanical engineering friend (still hasn't decided his major yet! I'm a physics student, so I should be capable as well, ha! Anyways as you can see, that guide gives very little information as to what CPUs can be used. I looked up the processor that they used in the guide (the T5600) and all of the results came up for a mobile processor. I have heard in the past that most of Apple's desktops contained "laptop grade" hardware, so it would make sense if it contained mobile components.
it seems that I have lost all my documents in my documents folder on my MacBook Pro. They were there a couple of days ago, I did not delete them and no one uses the mac other than me. How can I get my documents back??? I am running Lion OS (i think)
I had/have a family pack Mobile me account.we shared itunes music apps etc and of course had separate emails I followed the instructions to transition to the icloud so we could continue to share apps and music but have separate email accounts, calendars etc we have ipad/iphone/desktop.
when the secondary person sent emails my name was appearing on her email with her email address. I went deeper into "settings on the ipad and iphone and changed the name for emails. I think that solved it.Â
when I go under the apple on her desktop to system preferences to: icloud it has the wrong name. I can go into account details and type her name in but the grayed out name under the icloud is still me and when I go back to account details it reverts back to my nameÂ
when I go to mail contacts and calenders her name and account is correct for the mail but again, the icloud is incorrect...has my name. She does not have my calendars or contacts and I don't have hers
How can I permanently remove the Photoshop Updater folder from the Documents folder, and then re-locate it to a more appropriate folder, like the Library folder?
Is it possible to restore it to it's original position on the right hand side of the dock? I've tried dragging & dropping from finder, but that doesn't seem to work for me. Making an alias doesn't seem to work either.
Does anyone know how to transfer folders and not just files between Mac OS and a mobile device using a Bluetooth connection and Mac OS 10.5's Bluetooth File Exchange? Or do you know of a 3rd party app that can do this?
I believe that there is a website that translates things for Windows user into mac terms to help with the transition. Can't remember where that came from.
I've had my iMac, 10.5.8 version, for over 2 years with no issues till now. Last week one of my Pages documents was missing and today another pages document. I searched using Spotlight and Finder but could not find them. The trash did not have them. Unfortunately I had not backed them up for a couple months. My girlfriend, who isn't very Mac knowledgeable, said she had not opened them.
I just upgraded to Lion and moved my MobileMe info to the iCloud. Unfortunately, Apple has created two different iCloud accounts. For the primary account, it wants me to create a new .me email address. I want to use my existing one, but it is listed as a non-primary account, and I can't figure out any way to merge the two.
How long does it take to "access account information" when you are moving from MobileMe to icloud? It has been churning for quite some time. Does it take even longer once you "access account information"?
I am using iCloud for my contacts but for some reason I have contacts that show up on my Mac but not on my mobile nor on my iPad.But if I delete a contact on one of my device it does get deleted on all of my other devices, same if I edit one contact.
I recently downloaded Amazon's Kindle for my Mac and it automatically installed a content folder in my Documents folder along with my other folders. Now, I like to keep my Documents folder neatly organized and this My Kindle Content folder kind of messes things up a bit - I really don't like seeing this folder in my Documents folder. question: Does anyone know how to move this folder to another location? I've tried to browse the Kindle app, but I haven't found any obvious way to move it. However, I may have overlooked it. Also, I have tried to browse the Forums to see if someone else asked this question already - no luck yet. Has anyone out there had the same problem? If so, is there a way to move the My Kindle Content folder without messing things up?
I just used Chax to combine my AIM and Facebook accounts in iChat, but I just realized how many of my friends use the stupid mobile feature for AIM, so they all show up in my buddy list when they really arent available. Is there anyway I can hide those mobile accounts in iChat?
I've just recently set it up on my Mac that all of my documents that would normally be in the Documents folder are now on my iDisk, in another folder named Documents. I've created a local copy of my iDisk so that my stuff is always in sync. However, just to make it easier on myself, what I would like to do is delete the (now empty) Documents folder in my Home folder, and replace it with an alias for the local iDisk documents folder. That way, I can still go into the Home folder as usual, but the Documents folder there will just point me directly to the local iDisk location. However, OS X isn't letting me do that - I can't delete the Documents folder to replace it.
Today, I was attempting to copy my documents folder onto my external hard-drive. I had Finder open and tried to move the icon representing documents (on the lower left sidebar) to the icon representing my hard-drive (upper left sidebar). The documents folder disappeared off of the left sidebar, but was not moved onto the drive.
I know the folder has not been deleted, as I am still able to open documents from it in word. However, I can't find the folder, and I'd like to return it to the sidebar. I have tried going Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, but there is no option to add the documents folder. How can I get it back?
The other day, I was using a disk inventory program to delete some of my unwanted files and folders, and I accidentally deleted my Documents folder. It's now in the Trash. How do I restore it? I tried just dragging the folder back to the sidebar, but it doesn't show up the same. The icon in the sidebar shows as a regular folder instead of the pencil and paper that it originally had. Also, if I right-click it and click "Open Enclosing Folder," the Trash opens again, indicating that it's still in the Trash.
How can I restore my Documents folder/alias to its original state?
this noob understand what the differences will be in terms of pros/cons and overall performance. What about if Apple keeps everything else the same and just upgrades the processors, how would that affect things (hypothetically)?
I just purchased a new iPad and discovered that I needed to upgrade my Pages & Numbers to the '09 version to be compatible with the &pages & Numbers on the iPad. I did this and now when I attempt to save a document it asks if I want to save a Version but it doesn't give me an opportunity to save it to My iCloud Documents. My iMac shows several documents in the My iCloud Documents file butbmy iPad doesn't show these files. My iPad does see a couple of files from Numbers but when I try to open them I get a message sayingb that It can't open files that are not saved in Numbers '09 even though I thought they were converted to Numbers '09. I even created a new document in Numbers '09 but it doesn't show up in iCloud and I can't access it on my MacBook Pro or the iPad, obly on the iMac where it was created. My guess is the problem is somewhere in the coinversion to Pages & Numbers '09 from the '08 version but what is beyond me.  Should I completely remove the old Apps for Pages & Numbers? I have all of the settings, as specified, on all three devices and, interestingly, my calendar and contacts have synced on the iPad and both computers.
I must be really slow because I have no idea how to see documents from one computer to another or my devices using icloud. I have Lion and Pages on my home computer and my laptop. I have an iCloud account. So how do I get the pages documents that I create on my imac to sync to the cloud so that I can view and edit them on my laptop and ipad. And visa versa. I have the icloud documents option "on" from my preference menu on all devices. What else do I need to do. And where is the tutoria
