System Requirements

Mactracker includes support for iCloud Drive to store and access your "My Models" entries on all your devices. iCloud support is included with Mactracker 8.0 and later (macOS) and Mactracker 5.0 and later (iOS).

Enabling iCloud Drive Support

iCloud support is always enabled on Mactracker 5.0 and later (iOS). iCloud Drive support can be enabled (or disabled) in Settings on Mac. If you don't have any existing entries in iCloud, Mactracker will upload the entries from that copy of Mactracker. If you disable iCloud Drive support Mactracker will revert to using the previous local storage. The entries will remain in iCloud Drive and won't be automatically merged with your local data.

Importing Additional Entries

If you previously had multiple copies of Mactracker (macOS) with different entries in My Models, you can export those entries and import them once iCloud Drive support has been enabled. That will consolidate all of your entries that you may have previously stored locally on different Macs. To export and import please follow these steps:

• In the main window, select one or more entries, and then choose File > Export My Model...
• Once you have enabled iCloud support, choose File > Import My Model..., and select the file from step 1.

Please note that the archive setting is respected when you are exporting/importing entries. You can import files created by Mactracker version 6.0 and later.

Troubleshooting

If the iCloud Drive option is not available in Settings, please check your iCloud configuration in System Settings. If iCloud is subsequently disabled on your Mac, Mactracker will revert to storing the entries in My Models locally.

Backup

Mactracker 5.0 (iOS) and later will periodically back up your My Models collection to a separate file on iCloud Drive. You can change this behaviour in Settings. Mactracker 8.1.2 (macOS) and later will periodically create a backup on your Mac of the entries added in iCloud. The files are located in: ~/Library/Application Support/Mactracker/ (non-Mac App Store release) or ~/Library/Containers/Mactracker/Data/Library/Application Support/ (Mac App Store release.)
