IPhone dead, pictures showing up via iCloud but not most recent?

Here's the deal- I made the great mistake of accidentally taking my phone for a spin in the washer last night and it might or might not resurrect in the next few days (it was dry when I pulled it out, so I'm still holding on to some hope). I have an iPad and as a last ditch effort to save my phone photos, I turned on photo stream. It worked great and several dozen pictures from up til early last week showed up. However, there are a good many pictures I took in the last week that aren't appearing, so I'm curious as to how these recent-but-not-most-recent pictures appeared but not the latest ones. I hadn't turned on photo stream on my iPad at any point before last night (post-phone death), so I'm unsure what's going on or if there's anything else I can do to connect the latest photos to another device. Not sure how these things work, but I'm assuming it uses wi-fi... do you think the fact that photo stream connected to my phone at all means there's some hope for my phone's second life? Or was it possibly just the ghost of my phone giving its last ounce of energy to the cloud before dying? Any input would be nice, as I've scoured the Internet for answers.
Thanks, friends!

Are you talking about syncing notes and photo stream photos? If so, first make sure your notes are in iCloud by going to icloud.com on your computer. If they are, make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account and try going to Settings>iCloud, turning Notes to Off, then after a minute or so, turn it back On.
Photo stream photos are only uploaded after enabling photo stream. If the photos were already on your device when you enabled photo stream, then would not have been uploaded. Try taking a new photo, then see if it appears in your my photo stream album.

I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud, but they are not sharing the information between devices ie if I purchase an app on one it does not transfer to the other although the backup is successful via iCloud.

I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud but the data is not being shared between the devices. When I backup it appears to be working as there are no error messages but the data is not shared between each. Any help would be great as this is very frustrating.

Backing up to icloud is not the same as syncing data between devices. Go to
Settings>Store. Turn on the automatic downloads that you want on that screen.
Settings>iCloud. Turn on the features you want to sync between devices.

If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

Calendar events show up on icloud but not on phone

I can create events on my phone and they will show up on iCloud but they will not show up on the iphone itself. Additionally I cannot get any icloud events to show up on my calendar. I've tried changing sync to all events and 6 months neither helped. I feel like I've tried everything, help please?

You might try force closing the Calendars app (double-tap the home button, locate Calendar, swipe up on the thumbnail image above the app icon to close it), as well as resetting your phone (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).
If none of that works, you may need to try deleting your account, then signing back in. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in. If you have any photo stream photos older than 30 days that aren't in your camera roll, save them to the camera roll before deleting the account (open the my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon on the bottom left, tap Save to Camera Roll).

I have duplicate ITMS songs on my iPhone via iCloud, but not in iTunes on Mac. How can I get to a single copy of the song(s) ?

SO, I download some albums from the Music Store, and plug my iPhone into the iMac, and quite oftern I get the tracks duplicated on the iPhone. As you can imagine, this is not ideal when I try and listen to the album, as I get Track 1 followed by Track 1, then Track 2 followed by Track 2, etc, etc.
I would really like to have just a siongle instance of the songs on my phone.
Any ideas ?

To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.

IPad 4 w iBooks syncs Books via iCloud but not pdf's on my iMac iBooks

Why dont the Pdf's come over from iBooks on the iMac to the iPad4?

They won't go via iCloud, only ibooks that you buy/download from iTunes will potentially show (whilst they remain in the store) in the iBooks app on your iPad for redownloading - if you want the PDFs in the iBooks app on your iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to your Mac and select it in iTunes, and use its Books tab to select and sync them to it.

My iphone will connect to itunes via wifi but not throught the cable

A month ago i noticed that when i plugged my phone into the computer it made the little dings but it wasnt charging. i looked at itunes and it wasnt on there either. i went through and updated my phone with my computer so it would recognize it again, hoping that it would fix all problems. Instead it just fixed the charging. Id plug it in and it would charge but not sync to itunes.
Prior to it not working, i had set it up to where it could sync through wifi. That is the only way i can sync my phone. I've Uninstalled itunes and the reinstalled it and it didn't make a difference. does ANYBODY have any clue as to what to do? I have Windows 8.1 and an iPhone 5s.

Hello, juliag1212.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver. Be sure to test connecting the device to the computer with another sync cable if available.

I have a quick follow up, if you don't mind. I tunred on iCloud for my calendar on the iPhone. Now it seems that if I enter a new item into my calendar thru the iPhone, I hvae to choose which calendar I want it to show up on - the PC calendar or the iCloud calendar.
If I chose the PC calendar when I sync with iTunes, it will sync with Outlook and show up there. But it won't show in the iCloud calendar, and thus not show on my iPad. If I choose to use the iClould calendar with the new entry, it will show up on iCloud but not in Outlook after I sync with iTunes.
There does not appear a way to have a new entry on my phone go to both calendars, thus having one sync with the iClould calander (and thus my iPad) and the other with my PC calendar (thus showing up in Outlook). Sort of defeats the purpose, it seems. If I cold choose both calendars in the edit field of the iPhone, that would seem to solve the issue.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks again for all your input.
Yes, iCloud and Outlooks local calendar are 2 different calendars, use 1 only (and if you want to see it on both devices) use the iCloud calendar. Outlooks local calendar is just that, local.

Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not.

If your phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, you will be unable to locate it. Last known location is only stored for 24 hours.

My new iphone was stolen today. I'm trying to track it via icloud but it shows the average ratio that the phone is disconnected. Are there any other way to track the phone. Thanks for your help.

If the phone is turned off, doesn't have an internet connection, or has been restored preventing "Find my iPhone" from being able to work, there is no other way to track it.

I just bought a new iphone and I signed on to icloud but hardly anything is showing up on my phone

I just bought a new iphone and I signed on to icloud but hardly anything is showing up on my phone. How can I get all my apps, pictures ect

You have to start by erasing your phone. If you have any newer data on your phone that is not contained in the backup you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore from.
Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!

Have you activated your phone with your carrier yet?
