Why doesn't iCloud always sync correctly?

I get the message that the sync cannot be completed, while before it worked perfectly?
Kind regards,

Why doesn't ICloud have My Correct Apple ID??

I updated to the New iOS7 and the Cloud still has my old Apple ID as [email protected], that Apple ID has been changed along with the Pass Word over a Year Now. Why doesn't ICloud have the New One??
Thanks;

Tap AppleID, sign out then sign back in.

Why doesn't it (always) sync?!

My main issue with the Podcasts app is simply the unreliable synchronization of playing positions between devices. Either that or I'm wrong about what it's supposed to do.
To be clear, I'm not talking about automatic sync with iTunes via iCloud - that's coming in iTunes 11 (or so they say).
What truly bothers me is something Apple says the app does and most of the time it simply doesn't.
Let's say I start playing a podcast on my iPhone and interrupt it some time afterwards. Later in the day, I pick up my iPad, launch the Podcasts app, start playing the same podcast and it resumes exactly from where it had stopped before on the iPhone. Great, it's working as advertised! Well, from that moment onwards, synchronization won't happen anymore. I stop playing it on my iPad, start playing on my iPhone and it begins where it stopped earlier in the day (as if the period when it was playing on the iPad just didn't happen). Then I go back to the iPad and it will resume from where it had stopped on the iPad. So the two devices now each has its own playing position for the same podcast, which drives me mad! Does this make sense to anyone? Shouldn't it always sync?!

Check the USB adaptor. I have a funky USB port that doesn't work well with all cables. Jiggle it a bit and/or try another port on the computer.

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Why doesn't iCloud retain hyperlinks or live URL addresses in iCloud contacts?

Why doesn't iCloud retain hyperlinks or live URL addresses in contacts?
Hardware/Software Setup Scenario:
PC with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 7 Pro at home for which all ISP (Cox Communications) e-mail is integrated with Microsoft Outlook 7. New Apple iPhone 4S linked to MS Outlook Contacts, Calendars, Tasks (Reminders) and Notes via iCloud. All e-mail bypasses iCloud (not needed).
Problem:
When initially migrating Microsoft Office 7 Contacts to Contacts in iCloud, Outlook creates a new folder named "Contacts in iCloud," which does synchronize quickly with your iCloud Contacts folder (in Outlook) on your computer at home and your iPhone when you're on the road. That is a great thing to have, and it works well for my calendar, which constantly changes. The unfortunate predicament is that there are some major problems that occur when you convert your Contacts records to iCloud as follows.
My Contact Notes in Microsoft Office 7, which contain rich formatted text, Microsoft program hyperlinks and live URL addresses (web sites, email addresses, etc.) are all lost because iCloud converts all of it into basic text, rendering the entire Contact Notes box useless. The only way to note a hyperlink is to go back to the web site or email address (if you still have it) and copy the properties in plain text into your notes -- not a reasonable solution.
An additional problem seen when moving Outlook Contacts to Contacts in iCloud is that the Contact Notes in the new "Contacts in iCloud" are systematically affected by sporadically dropped spaces between words requiring a manual or spell check "cleanup" of every contact -- not reasonable for a folder of approximately 1,000 contacts.
I have also found that importing my Outlook Contacts into iCloud empties the Outlook "Contacts" folder. Once you have created your new "Contacts in iCloud" folder, the Outlook contacts are gone for good, unless you want to retrieve them from a backup file. The problem is that Outlook will only allow one of these two Contact folders for use; so you’re faced with choosing between syncing your Outlook Contacts manually between your iPhone on iTunes using the USB cable connected to your computer -- not reasonable for someone on the move; or, transfer your contacts to iCloud live with worthless notes for your contacts.
Can anyone suggest a better work around?

I'm replying to myself here, but just in case someone else has this problem: I uninstalled the Avery Toolbar and iCloud works on by browser once again. I don't know why or how Avery Toolbar makes a difference, but apparently, it does. If anyone knows how or why, I'd be interested.

Why doesn't iCloud retain hyperlinks or live URL addresses in the iCloud address book imported from Internet Explorer 7 to my iPhone 4S?

I do have both of those, but only iCloud shows up in my Contacts sidebar, and addresses are being sent there so I guess it's the default. Funny how this stuff is all so murky.
Not murky at all:
And as the On My Mac account does not show then it is empty. (It's visible if it is the default or if it has any content)
I haven't come across your last point, (no email address) so no help there I'm afraid.

Why doesn't icloud keep me logged in or remember me? I have to log in each time I re-open my browser.

Why doesn't the iPad sync time automatically?

It's a simple thing, but the iPad can't do it. The iPad must have it's time set manually, and corrected manually as needed. Grrrrr!

Yes, the WiFi only iPad could periodically sync time with an internet time server (Apple has one). Why it doesn't I don't know.

Why doesn't Photoshop always generate a layer mask

I believe it was in CS4 that Adobe expanded the use of automatic layer masks ... perhaps it was with adjustment layers (I'm not quite sure)
I don't know about others, but it would save me considerable time in the long run if every new layer, (whether it is generated as a copy, from a plug-in, as a cut, or as a new blank layer) recevied an automatic layer mask. It takes no file space, but more often than not I find myself needing one. It sure would be nice to jump right into masking rather than having to first create the layer mask. Why did they stop at adjustment layers?
Am I alone in this?
thanks

Adding layers like Text, Raster and smart objects never have had automatic layers mask added. Adding adjustment layers always came with an automatic layer mask until CS4. Adode introduced bugs in CS4 when they added the adjustment panel these bugs have been carried forward into CS5 and CS6. Adobe added two options in the adjustment panels fly-out panel. These options are designed to be global, not just adjustment panel options. These options only work sometimes when changed from their default settings. When changed from their default settings they try to change Photoshop historic default operation. When you change Photoshop default operation Action, Scripts and Plug-ins that add adjustment layers may not work correctly. Adobe should fix Photoshop and remove the two bad Adjustment Panel fly-out options. The Adjustment Panel fly-out menu option to not add Layer masks can not be safely set, same goes for the option to always clip added layer mask, if you use Actions, Scripts and Plug-ins that add adjustment layers.

Why does iCloud intrepret reorganized files as additional files?

Nancy,
Did you ever get an answer? I also downloaded a TV season pass but am unable to see the episodes on either ITUNES or AppleTV. I received the email notification for a new episode but it still does not download. When I go to ITUNES, I am told all episodes have been downloaded. Can anyone help?

Why doesn't iCloud push from my PC to my iPhone?

iCloud is installed on all devices, and passwords are entered in all. All devices are up-to-date with latest operating systems.. But when I enter a new event on my Microsoft Office Outlook calendar of my PC, it doesn't get pushed to my iPad2 or iPhone4S. Or vice versa. Am I missing something? (I haven't gotten a push when I uninstall the PC's iCloud service, and reinstall it; however, that's not acceptable.)

Correction: I have gotten a push when I uninstall and reinstall.

Why doesn't my calendar sync with my iphone or iPad?

When I make an calendar entry on my Mac (Lion) is doesn't automatically sync with my iphone or ipad. But if I make the entry on the iphone/ipad first, it will show up in my calendar on the Mac. What have I not done right?

On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect Calendars then reselect.
On both the iPhone and iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

Why doesn't a normal sync add music to my iPod?

I found my lost iPod which still had music on it that played just fine. I synced it to my computer to add more music but instead the old stuff, except for two odd songs, disappeared and no new music copied. I've synced it a dozen times. It always seems to sync fine but I still can't get any music copied from my computer to my iPod. I have no trouble copying music to my iPad, so I'm assuming the problem is in the iPod and not the computer. Can anyone help me sort this out?
