Computer won't sync with icloud

After installing Lion and enabling icloud on my macbook pro...it won't sync to icloud.  I've logged in on the internet to see my icloud account and no new entries put in my calendar from my laptop are there.  New enteries from my iphone 4s are in icloud (on line) - but are not synced to the computer or vice versa?  What's up?

There's no need to do anything on the phone which is plainly working.
While in theory I agree with you 99%, I've noticed iCloud seems so glitchy at times, (new technology?) that I've seen enough strange things so I try to make sure I don't burn off an extra 4 hours of trouble-shooting because of one little step such as this.

  • I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud

    I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud.  Also, all of my notes on iCloud aren't on my phone anymore, but they are still on my computer. Can somebody please advise how to fix this issue?  Thank you!

    Sounds like they are being overwritten by the server as soon as you reconnect.  With some effort you may be able to prevent this and recover your notes if you try the steps in Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

    Check the model number by holding down the option/alt key while selecting About this Mac under the Apple menu. Select System Information and it will tell you the model number.  Compare it to:
    Model Number - iMac
    You can then check against the link mende1 provided.
    If you then go with Niel's suggestion, you can check here.
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    You also might want to check applications compatibility since neither lion or Mountain Lion support PowerPC applications.

  • My iphone calendar won't sync with icloud

    I just set up iCloud for the first time.  Everything seems to be working however the calendar on my iPhone 3GS (w IOS 5.0.1 update) calendar is not syncing with iCloud.  What am i doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you say it won't sync with iCloud, do you mean with iCloud.com or iCloud on a mac.

  • MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

    My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad.  Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

    Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
    The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
    Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

  • Won't sync with icloud

    When I create a document in Pages on my MacBook Pro it won't sync to iCloud. It just shows an outline of a cloud with the word 'waiting'. I can sync documents between www.icloud.com and my iPad. Any ideas?

  • Mail won't sync with icloud.

    I have an iphone 4 32gb, Win 7 x64, itunes 11.02.26, ios 6.1.2, and Outlook 2010.  Recently had to do a complete Windows reinstall from scratch, but everything was backed up and is up and running normally again.
    The iTunes info tab for my iphone says that my contacts, calenders, tasks are being synced with my iphone over the air with icloud.  The mail is not.  Previously it was.  The icloud control panel only says the 'contacts, calenders and tasks with outlook' being synced, but mail is not listed. Clicking on the message only unchecks the tickbox.
    MS Outlook has my @me.com account installed and working and 3 other email accounts, and the icloud refresh button on the toolbar is working ok.  The same mail accounts are installed on the iphone and work ok.  My phone and Outlook can each access all my mail accounts seperately without a problem.  At present I have left the mail tickbox unchecked on the itunes info page for my iphone.  (I dont want to mess up the information on either unless I have to).  There are no checkboxes for the contacts, calenders or tasks as they are using icloud.  Under 'settings/general/icloud' on my iphone, Mail and calenders are both selected to ON.
    When I try to log into icloud.com, I get a message that 'icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server', but the system status check shows no problem.
    How do I get my mail to sync between outlook and icloud the same as calenders, contacts, tasks and bookmarks?

    Yes, my Calendar syncs with Google as well as on the iPad and iMac. Why shouldn't it also sync with iCloud?
    Because it's a Google Service not an iCloud service, you can still sync it to your Mac and your devices, just not using iCloud.

  • IPhone Contacts won't sync with iCloud

    Hi!
    I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone 4S synced with iCloud, so everything I do in one device shows up in the other.
    About 2 days ago I noticed my iPhone contacts were not syncing with iCloud. Calendars, Notes, etc. is syncing and the Macbook Pro is syncing as well. Only iPhone contacts are not (both ways).
    Any ideas are welcome!! Thank you!!!

  • Calendar and Mail won't sync  with iCloud.

    They synchronize fine between iMac and iPad. Contacts, Notes and Reminders are the only categories that do sync with iCloud on my iMac.  I am running the latest Mountain Lion upgrade.

  • Pages 5 won't sync with iCloud

    My iphone and ipad and icloud.com iWork documents all sync with each other but the new Pages for Mac with Mavericks doesn't see them. It seems to have its own documents unrelated to what's on icloud. I have Documents and Data turned on in System Prefs and I am logged in to all devices with the same Apple ID. How can I get the new iWorks apps to sync with icloud?

    I wish Apple would fix this. I'm dying here--I essentially have no iWork apps anywhere, since whatever I create with any app is only readable by that app on that device. iCloud synching is just broken.

  • HT4191 What do you do if Notes won't sync with iCloud?

    I've set Notes up on my iMac, iphone 5 and iPad (3).   I recall that they used to all sync with icloud just fine....but now, when I add to my Notes on my iphone, it no longer pushs to either my iMac or my iPad.
    I've set everything up according to the directions from Apple...but still they will not push.
    Any suggestions?

  • My PC won't sync with icloud

    I can sync my calendar between my I phone and icloud.com, but if I enter a appointment in my calendar on my iphone or on icloud the appointment will not show up in my Outlook calendar on my PC. Conversely, if I enter an appointment in my outlook calendar on my PC, the appointment will not show up on icloud or in my calendar on my iphone.
    How do I get my PC to sync with icloud?

    Go through the troubleshooting steps in this article listed under "Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)": iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.  In particular make sure the iCloud Outlook add-in is active within Outlook.

  • My macbook won't sync with icloud

    My iMac syncs with icloud, but my Macbook will not.  The iMac is Lion 10.7.3, but  the Macbook is Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Thats correct, 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, your 10.6.8 MacBook needs updating (assuming it will)

  • Outlook 2010 won't sync with iCloud on the web

    Outlook 2010 Calendar syncs with the iCloud Calendar in Outlook. Both are visible in Outlook, both are ticked. Calendar Sync is set up in iCloud Control Panel 2 and on settings on my iPhone & iPad. However, appointments don’t show in iPhone, iPad or iCloud on the web.

    Here's what I've discovered: Outlook has two "versions," one for iCloud and one that is an Outlook data file ("My calendar"). You can check a box in Outlook to enable either of them (go to the Home tab and expand the navigation pane). The iPad does not sync with the Outlook data file. Anything entered there has to be manually copied to the iCloud version of Outlook in order to sync with iPad. So, to sync with iPad you have to uncheck "My calendar" in Outlook and then check "iCloud" and use that version of Outlook. But when I use the iCloud version, Outlook will not accept appointments sent to me by clients. It also screws up my communication with clients in other ways. So using the iCloud version of Outlook does not work for me.
    I've discovered a third-party software that seems to solve this issue: Code Two Sync for iPad. You can Google it for reviews, the download link, etc. I downloaded and installed it and it immediately copied (synced?) all the appointments in the Outlook data file version of Outlook ("My calendar") to the iCloud version and synced them with my iPad. There were a bunch of duplicates, but I think there's some way to fix that. However...it also crashed Outlook on my computer (I have an older computer that is having issues). So I needed to uninstall it. I repeat, this is because my computer has been having other issues, I don't think it is the software's fault. I may try it again when I have more time to troubleshoot. Anyway, you might try this software and see if it works for you.

  • Why won't my iPhone won't sync with iCloud?

    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS5, an iPad 1 (iOS5) and an iMac (Lion).
    My reminders, calendars and contacts sync between the iPad, iMac and iCloud web interface, but no luck with the iPhone.
    Everything is set up and turned on in iPhone settings, it just won't work. I tried doing a restore and using the iCloud backup. Nothing.
    Oddly, Photo Stream DOES sync across all devices, though.
    Any advice? Should I try another restore a different way?

    you already asked and have an answer.
