old laptop access to cloud
Hi
My old laptop died. I have files stored to the Musescore cloud but have no idea how to determine how to access them.
I loaded Musescore onto my new laptop. Gained access to the Musescore cloud but not sure how to access my prior laptop's files ;(

What cloud? MuseScore.com. MS cloud, iCloud?

I did a test a few minutes ago. Namely, save a score on the Musescore cloud with a certain computer. I closed this computer, and opened a second one (I'm on Windows).
Normally, it should have been at this location (follow the procedure described below, for Windows or Mac). Anyway, the scores at this location are presented with a "particular" name, i.e. a series of 8 digits.
Never mind, just look at the date of saving, and you'll find your way around.
But I haven't seen anything, on this second computer, that corresponds to this score.
Either the scores recorded on the MuseScore cloud are dependent on the computer where the operation was performed, or you have to wait a while (?), which I kind of doubt.
Nevertheless, have you checked to see if they aren't on your MuseScore.com account page?
For Windows:
1.Press the ⊞ Win + R key
2. Copy/Paste: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores
3. OK
For Mac:
1. Press Shift + Command (⌘) + G
2. Copy/Paste: ~/Library/Application Support/MuseScore/MuseScore4/cloud_scores
3. OK

I'm not sure how to log in to a different account as I think I sued the same email address for the new computer. I dont remember creating one on the old computer.

If you used the same email and password before to be able to post here now, then try this.
In the upper right corner of this page is your login picture and name. Select the down arrow and select "My Scores".
If you haven't tossed your old computer, consider using it to experiment on. It probably quit because of a hard drive malfunction. It really isn't difficult to remove the drive and get info off of it with a very cheap adaptor. If you know how to use a screwdriver you can do it.

I got the hard drive out couple days ago. On monday I have an appointment at staples to have them move My hard drive contents.
Hopefully there will be an answer in it :)
Thanks so much for your help

Good luck. Make sure you get your drive back. I have heard of places that say they have to open the drive to get info off of them. Not true. They sell the adaptor to do it yourself. You've already done the hard part: Taking the drive out. If the drive is indeed the problem, you could get a new one and have two computers. I have one or two old ones that I keep around for things I don't want to bog down my new one with.
Any way, I hope everything works out for you.
