Hello all, When I try to export the iMovie project into my photo library, it won't go through the "Space problem" Though I have 55 GB remaining space, and the iCloud is enabled. Any tips?

I have recently got a new ipad and have turned off imessage and facetime sync in icloud and turned off imessage and facetime on the ipad itself. However, every morning I wake up to a message on my iphone saying imessage is now being used on another device and it turned itself back on, on the ipad. Does anyone know how I can stop this happening? Thank you

I'm using fileImporter for a Mac app. If I open a file from iCloud Drive that isn't already downloaded, I need to start the download before I can read the contents of the file. I found that I can download the file by using NSFileCoordinator or FileManager.default.startDownloadingUbiquitousItem. These APIs will begin the download, but I have no updates on the progress or if the file has been downloaded. I've tried to use NSMetadataQuery with no luck. Is there a way, either with fileImporter in SwiftUI or an AppKit API that I can receive updates for when a remote file has been downloaded, or do I need to prompt the users to download the file themselves before importing into my app?

Hello people, I am currently experiencing a lot of disruption for the uploading of my files to the iCloud Drive. I have a folder that I share with some of my colleagues that contain some lectures notes and such, and I have two devices, a MacOS on the new Sonoma 14.0 Beta and an iPad on the 16.6 iPadOS. Recently the files started getting stuck upon upload and I think this started happening when I started sharing the folders with other people over iCloud. I went through the internet multiple times to see if someone is having this problem and I willingly ran sudo killall bird hoping it would fix my issue, but sadly it didn't. Would appreciate any support on this, I am aware this might have a potential relation with the Beta MacOS.

Apple has consolidated users iCloud data into iCloud.com. our app uses iCloud to sync data between iOS devices - iPad and iPhone using Core Data and iCloud Documents. But, this data is not posted on iCloud.com. It would be very useful, especially when iCloud fails to sync. When Apple does an Upgrade, say going from iOs 16to 17 and no way to retrieve the data. Any other developers concur?

My iCloud storage was full, and I noticed my MacBook was backing up to iCloud, which I didn't know - we just thought we were using iCloud backup for our iPhones. So to free up space, I disconnected iCloud from my MacBook - when I did, everything saved on my desktop disappeared. The issue is that iCloud was full, so these files weren't backed up - now they are just gone. They aren't in my deleted items folder and they aren't in iCloud. I don't understand why disconnecting iCloud from my MacBook would permanently remove files that were saved on my desktop. Does anyone know if there is a way to restore files from the desktop in a situation like this?

I'm trying to use the Xcode 15.0 beta on macOS 13.4 (22F66) on a MacBook Pro 16" (2019) but whenever I try to start a new project, Xcode becomes unresponsive – seemingly indefinitely. In Activity Monitor I see "Open and Save Panel Service (Xcode) (Not Responding)": Even if I try to use Xcode 14.3.1 now I get the same problem. I've tried to resolve this by removing all Xcode-related files as well as the Xcode command line tools and reinstalling them but to no avail. I'd appreciate any and all help in how to fix this. EDIT: I have since found out that if I force-quit the bird process, Xcode will react again. But the bird process will start up and shoot to the top of the % CPU l column in Activity Monitor again almost instantly. It appears to be iCloud-related but I don't know what's causing it to take up so much CPU resources and make Xcode unresponsive, and how I can fix this.

In NSFileManager there is this method to move files to and from iCloud:- (BOOL)setUbiquitous:(BOOL)flag itemAtURL:(NSURL *)url destinationURL:(NSURL *)destinationURL error:(NSError **)errorOutAll the samples and information I'm able to find seem to be related to using NSDocument, which my app isn't using. I have a little view in my app that allows users to move an image out from the iCloud container and into a local directory. It seems that simply using NSFileManager moveItemAtURL:toURL:error: works fine both to move a file in and out of the iCloud container on OS X without wrapping everything in a file coordinator block. Is it still necessary to use a file coordinator to move files out of iCloud on the Mac. When I put a file in the iCloud container, the system automatically starts uploading it..even though I'm not using a file coordinator...and my related file presenter still is detecting a change.Both methods seem to be working the same, I'm just wondering if I should be using a coordinator because it's a good amount of code I can get rid of if it's not necessary.Thanks.

Yesterday 8/31/23 around 2:00 pm I deleted documents from my iPhone - apparently I wasn't paying attention and it was deleted from iCloud Drive. I later was on my MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.5 and my desktop and folders are gone... I logged into iCloud and there is nothing under recently deleted. When I try to right click anywhere on the desktop I get The operation can't be completed a unexpected error occurred - error 8072. When I go into finder I try to click desktop or documents I get- The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Documents” can’t be found. The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Desktop” can’t be found. I have gone into finder setting check - unchecked everything that I could from reading threads. I have started in safe mode I have run disk utility I logged out go Apple ID and back in... When I try to check the desktop and documents folder in settings it turns on and off quickly. I can turn it on through Settings general - storage. I am very frustrated and upset I did not ever choose permanently delete. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks - Kim

I was testing out iOS 17 Beta 5 with Advanced Data Protection turned on. I wanted to downgrade to iOS 16 for improved stability; however, once I downgraded all of my iCloud data was gone (~100GB) and about 10+ years of digital accumulation poof. Yes, I'm on the correct iCloud account. Yes, I'm logged in. Yes, I've checked iCloud.com as well as my device. Yes, I went back to iOS 17 Beta 5 to see if my backup would show up but there is no data and no backup anywhere else. I was discussing with apple tech support for over an hour and they were unable to assist. Just checking if anyone else might have suggestions on other things to try.

Hello, I need to get all files (recursively) from an iCloud Drive folder. So I use UIDocumentPickerController with UTType.folder. Then I use FileManager to get all files from the picked folder, but when I try to access it with startAccessingSecurityScopedResource it return false. It's work perfectly if I dont get files by FileManager but directly by the UIDocumentPickerController when configured for multiple files selection. How can I access to all files from a picked directory with permission granted ? Is it at least possible ? Thanks

While scrolling through the layout of the settings for iCloud on my iPhone, I came across this item titled "FTMessageStoreService" (screenshots attached). Does anyone have information on this item and whether or not I should leave it?

I have plenty of space in iCloud, and a very small backup to upload, but iCloud says backup cant be completed due to lack of storage. I am on latest ios17 beta. Any suggestions other than downgrading to non-beta version?

Just as the title states, my notes will not sync from my ipad to anywhere in the cloud, but notes created on my macbook will sync to my ipad. The iPad keeps prompting me, only in Notes, to add more storage space and actually will walk me through checkout but then errors out. This is very frustrating as now I can no longer go back to before Beta since it has auto-backed up so many times. Any one else having this issue?

Hello! I would like my users to save short videos (under 30seconds 1080p) to the public database for all other users to download and view. Is this possible? Will I run into any storage pricing with Apple if I were to pursue this as my application backend? I am looking at other methods as well (user sharing from their private database) so I can implement video sharing. Is this feasible and worth pursuing?

Guys, can you suggest some keywords about the feature: upload file to iCloud Drive via REST API (POST method)? I did a lot of research in two days and I almost thought it impossible, so I come here to get help from you guys. My project required upload the file into each user's iCloud Drive/Google Drive. For now, I'm finished with Google Drive and it works well. I found CloudKit but seem it's not allowed to upload the file into each user drive like Google Drive The workflow of my feature: Step 1. Upload file to iCloud Drive via REST API Step 2. Get the public share link from the uploaded file in Step 1

I have my app including iCloud support in the App Store for many years now. When I run the app on iOS 17 Beta 2 I am experiencing a very bad performance because the main thread seems to be blocked most of the time. When I run the app using the Time Profiler in Instruments it also reports the hangs and the busy main thread. I looked into the profiler window to see methods with long runtime. The most prominent method was: [BRQuery itemCollectionGathererDidReceiveUpdates:deleteItemsWithIDs:] coming from "CloudDocs". That seems to be some iOS internal class. I do not really know where to look next and I want to know whether somebody of you also experienced a similar problem? Thanks, Dirk
