"Documents in the Cloud" NOT syncing between devices.

I am terribly confused about DOCUMENTS IN THE CLOUD.
My whole understanding was that your documents would SYNC between your devices, iMac/iPhone/iPad.
I have PAGES installed on all my devices. But nothing is syncing. If I make changes to one of the documents it remains on that particular device and does not effect my other devices.
And YES I have iCloud enabled on all my devices.
I THOUGHT that if I edited a document on my iMac it was supposed to send the edit to the cloud where it would then be sent to my other devices, iphone and ipad?
Am I missing something? Did I misunderstand the keynote?

For the avoidance of doubt in addition to settings> iCloud> documents & data being enabled, have you checked that settings> keynote> iCloud is also set to on.

Do I need to use Outlook as my email programme instead of Outlook Express if I want to use The Cloud to sync between PC and iPad? Can I transfer my existing contacts, emails and diary appointments from Outlook Express to Outlook? What is cheapest way to aquire Outlook?

iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc. If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so. Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

Sent mail does not sync between devices

My sent mail does not sync between devices. For example, if I send an email from my Iphone it does not show in my sent box on the MAC mail (postage stamp). If I send mail from MAC mail it does not show on my phone. But if I go to Yahoo (mail) I can see all sent mail.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting that allows them to snch sent mail??

From reports on this site, Yahoo mail doesn't work reliably with Mail. The following steps may help.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

(Documents in the Cloud) Not all the docs to all the devices

I guess the answer is no, but I would like to ask anyway...
Is there any way to stop the automatically download of certain synced documents in one of my devices?
i have some documents in the cloud and I want all of them in one device but I don't want all of them in another. But if I delete one document this is deleted in icloud and in all the devices.
It will be valid too to be able to hide documents or be able to save some in iCloud and some on the devices itself (don't sync at all), same way I can configure a calendar in iCloud and others on the ipad.
Thanks

It depends on which app you're using. Some apps let you save a local file to iCloud and at the other end (on another device), you have the choice to download it or not. Other apps save all files to iCloud and sync them all to other devices.

Documents in the Cloud not working (impossible!)

I am encountering the most strange difficulty with iCloud, particularly Documents in the Cloud and the syncing of Numbers and Pages documents between iPad and iPhone. I do not use Keynote.
I will try and describe the problem in as much detail as possible and explain everything I have tried to do.
My goal is for documents I create on iPad to sync to iPhone, and vice versa, with changes appearing on both, and on iCloud.com. To clarify I'm not involving the Mac in anyway, I am aware this is a current limitation of Documents in the Cloud. Unless I'm missing something, what I want to do is what is advertised.
- I am running the latest version of iOS on both iPad and iPhone.
- I have the latest versions of Keynote and Pages on both.
- I am logged in to iCloud on both iPad and iPhone with the same account
- iCloud is working fine for all other purposes (Bookmark sync, PhotoStream etc)
- Documents and Data is switched on, as is the option for Using Cellular Data
- Use iCloud is set to ON under Pages and Keynote preferences
- The arrow indicating a cloud document is on every document on both iPad and iPhone's icon, in the top right of each icon
- In iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Manage Storage -> Documents & Data -> Numbers it displays all the expected documents.
The current behaviour appears to be that I create a document on either device, and the document is PARTIALLY uploaded to iCloud. That is, it appears on iCloud.com under iWork, but when I click on any file it either says "Upload failed" or "Waiting" for each file.
If I try and delete a document on iWork.com, it crashes the web app and does not delete the documents.
Things I have tried to resolve:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Numbers and Pages on both devices
- Soft resetting both devices
- Disabling and re enabling Documents in the Cloud on both devices
- Disabling and re enabling iCloud toggle in the individual app preferences on both devices
- Deleting and readding iCloud account on both devices
- A full restore then restoring from iCloud backup on both devices (yes, I actually did that)
- A combination of the above in various sequence orders, none of which made any difference
More information... one solution on the web pointed to the problem involving a duplicate account which could be deleted from the Mail settings, however I only have one configured account - my iCloud account. Just in case it matters, my iCloud email is an @mac.com address.
I think I have covered everything. Any help would be appreciated since Apple themselves seemed pretty stumped on the phone, suggesting another restore, or setting the phone and iPad up as brand new devices. I'd really rather not until I've exhausted every possible outcome.
Any help massively appreciated!!!

I don't see it mentioned above, but when you remove the apps from your devices, have you been to system preferences > iCloud and checked that all your pages and numbers documents have been deleted from your storage, deleting them if necessary.
Also when you add things back, avoid adding documents with the same names as those you have been having problems with.

Will I be able to disable the automatic icloud sync between devices?

What I want to know from looking at the keynote speech it looks like if I buy a song on my phone or ipad it will also get downloaded to my son's iphone even though he may not want the sond and vice versa. I hope there will be a way to disable the automatic sync between devices because in theory it sounds good but when you have several ios devices in the family they usually don't want to have the same music that I listen too. I have a MBA, Iphon4, and Ipad and would not mind all of them syncing together but my son's iphon 3GS does not need to be synced with the other devices. I didn't hear anything about being able to disable it and if someone knows can they let the rest of us know. Thanks.

Yes you can disable it. Also since it's free for all of those services, and you want different content on your devices, you could just setup an Apple ID for your son so that their content will be synced among their devices and you can still benefit from all the iCloud goodness. The only downfall to this is that the content that you may want to share would have to be purchased twice. I'm hoping they add support for "Family Groups" for iCloud services so you can have a shared Apple ID for content on up to 10 devices while also giving the flexibility for having sub-ID's to differentiate who's devices are who's.
That is exactly what I am talking about. I know you can share your purchases through several devices and some of the app store stuff my son and I share with no problem. I just hope that sharing is ok. Also using picture flow could be bad too. What if I want to take a picture that I don't want on any other device. This is all good but sounds like they didn't think this through all the way before implementing it. I am a mobileme subscriber and have been for 2 years and I liked iDisk. There was nothing wrong with the way it worked as I could set up iDisk only on my devices and my son's would not be affected. Like I said good idea but for some of us we may not want stuff out on the cloud automatically.
Also I can see some folks up in arms about privacy issues just like they did with the tracking issue. I am thinking I will turn this service off on all my devices until I get more information about it after it is implemented.

Documents in the Cloud not working

I'm having issues with the Documents in the cloud feature for a couple of days now, first I thought my restore fixed it but as I was working with some documents in iWork for iOS I ran into the exact same problem again.
All my documents display the arrow going up badge or occasionally a progress bar that doesn't fill, and other apps that support iCloud for storing documents just refuse to let me access them.
I checked the logs for my iOS devices (an iPad 2 and iPhone 4S) and they both exhibit a particular line when I try to sync my files with iCloud
librariand[1208] <Error>: client connection is invalid: Connection invalid
I have no clue what's going on, going to icloud.com on my Mac and entering the iWork webapp doesn't show any documents either, even thgough I succesfully synced all of my Pages documents across my iOS devices yesterday and they are still on sync.

I'm having weirdness in Numbers and Pages too. Just upgraded an iPad 4 to 8.1.1, and now neither Numbers or Pages will load the iCloud documents. In fact, when I turn on "Use iCloud" in Settings and go to either of the Apps, nothing changes, but when I go back to Settings the "Use iCloud" has been switched back off. Both Apps load very slowly. When they finally do open and I click the + sign in the upper left of title bar, a blank cartoon-like bubble opens, then the App crashes. Interestingly a new iPhone 6 running the same software works just fine... both Apps load quickly and retrieve the iCloud documents instantly. I haven't got a clue...

Ibooks pdfs do not sync between devices?

Is Ibooks supposed to sync between devices?

Is this really the case? I'm getting more and more disenchanted with my iPad. It's implied in all the advertising that iCloud will 'magically' make sure everything stays synched between your devices. But is it actually true that the pdfs I have saved in a collection on my iPad (which were downloaded from any old website), will not sync to my mac at all? How is this helpful in any way? I've got 'sync all books' selected in itunes on the mac, and 'sync collections' selected in the settings on all my devices.
Edited to add: they don't sync over iCloud or when i have the iPad connected by cable, if that was not clear.
Quite frankly, this is rubbish and in my opinion, blatant false advertising. Is there some annoyingly cumbersome workaround I can use??

Emails not sync between devices.

My email do not sync between my Macbook and my Galaxy S4. For example if I read an email or delete one on my phone, it won t show on the emails in my Macbook (I use the built in app). I have to redo the action...
Anyone knows why it is doing this or what to change?
Thank you.

What mail provider do you have, and is it set up as IMAP in both places? POP mail will not sync.

Apps does not sync between devices

When I buy Apps they are not shared to my iPhone and vice versa. It works well between two iphones. I have set it up under store on all my devices. Any suggestions ? Thanks!

Don't do this. If you sync your iphone to a blank itunes library, it will erase your iphone.
The iphone is not a storage device. It simply reflects the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
Simply transfer all urcahses from the iphone to the computer. File>Transfer Purchases
Then select what you want to sync and sync.

ICloud Calendars not syncing between devices at all

Simply put, newly added events either on my macbook pro running Yosemite or my iPhone 5s running iOS 8 will not sync to iCloud and show on my other devices. I've tried everything including restarting devices, unchecking/checking iCloud calendar options, signing out/back in to my iCloud account, nothing will resolve this issue and i can't find any related posts.

Greetings Pure Ferox Adventus,
If you are having an issue with your contacts not staying in sync between your iPhone and your iPad, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Docs in Cloud Not syncing between OS (10.8.2) and iOS (6)

I am running all of the most recent software available for both OS and iOS (including the iWork software on each). For about a week not, my docs have not been syncing. I will open something on my iPad/iPhone, take notes for a couple hours in class. Then, when I go to add notes on my Mac next week, last weeks notes are not there.
What I have done:
Connected iPad and iPhone to power and wifi numerous nighst since the first note-taking.
Had my Mac connected to power and wifi numerous times since the first note-taking.
Restarted all devices.
Any other tips? I need this stuff to sync if I am going to have all of my notes in one place before finals—the timing of my issues with iCloud make me wonder if the cosmos (or Apple) has a sense of humor.
Thanks in Advance!

I am not sure this is a Pages question but an iCloud question. You could ask in the iCloud forum about the syncing problems

HT203521 Invitation notifications do not sync between devices.

I currently have 99 invitation notifications (the numbers in the red dot over the app icon) on my iMac. The invitations are for meetings and events I have either already excepted or declined on my iPhone or on my macbook or PC at the office. Does anyone know how to get these notifications to sync? The events themselves are already listed on the calendar and it would seem odd that I have to go back through this list, many of the meetings from the past, and re-accept or decline them all. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!

On the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Calendars & Reminders then reselect it.
On iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on. Same for Reminders.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the Calendar data.
