Does iCloud now sync WiFi network login details between devices?

I am now very confused. I bought an iPhone 6 last Saturday. I set it up as a new phone and did NOT restore it from either an iTunes or iCloud back-up. The phone has since joined two of my known and password protected networks without me having to enter the password.
LIke I said I am now very confused. Is this a new feature or am I loosing my mind?

Wow, what a great feature! This why I love Apple products so much!
Thanks for the quick response.

  • I can't backup to iCloud over my wifi network but I can over other wifi networks

    Several days ago, I noticed that I am no longer able to backup my iPhone 5 over my wifi network. It tries to backup for a while and then says "The last backup was unable to be completed." I figured it was a bug with iOS 6 so didn't really worry about it. Then I was at my girlfriend's house and was able to backup my phone to iCloud over her wifi network. Does anyone know why I can backup on hers but not mine? Also strange that I was able to backup on my network at first and then suddenly stopped being able to. Thanks for your help!

    I am having the same issue, mine stoipped working on October 4th.  I am running mountain lion and I phone 5.  I do not know what the issue is at all.  Have a brand new macbook pro retina 15.  Not sure what the issue is but I hope someone can help us both.

  • Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

    Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

    So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working?  I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case.  Are they going to fix this anytime soon?  I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
    I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections.  I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this.  Still not ideal.

  • What EXACTLY does iCloud backup/sync to their server.!?!.

    HI all..
    hoping someone could help me out.
    i have read many an article regarding what iCloud backs up/syncs to their server.
    i Know it syncs Safari bookmarks/open tabs/reading lists to their server..
    and ios8 is introducing Safari history sync too..
    however does iCloud also sync your cookies & cache to their server as well??
    cheers

    Hello Leeeeeeeeee1892,
    there is no official post mentioning that, but I would be surprised if Apple would sync cookies between devices.
    Best regards,
    David

    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else.

  • Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

    This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

    It is not Mac to Mac.
    Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
    Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

  • I have just updated the i06 software for my ipad and it will not connect to my home wifi network - all my other devices are able to connect - i have tried all troubleshooting options and none have worked - please help

    I have just updated the i06 software for my iPad and it will not connect to my home wifi network - all my other devices are able to connect to my wifi network.
    I have attempted all troubleshooting actions suggested and nothing has worked. I have restored my iPad network and factory settings - Please help - this is frustrating me

    you have to set up your router to solve th problem. first find and write down the ipad mac address.
    then log on to your router using your laptop or any device that can connect to router at 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. please check out my posting about how to resolve the wifi connection problem.
    i think the ios6 update has reset the networking but if you set up the router then you should not have the same problem any more.

  • Wifi network login page fails to pop up

    I want to login to a wifi network that requires me to accept their terms of service to gain access. This worked flawlessly a few minutes ago. Now the 'login' page that pops up has nothing about the network's terms of service, but is instead the Apple homepage. I can't connect without accepting their TOS. What do I do??

  • My iPhone 5S can't find and does not connect to wifi networks. Occasionally will connect for a few minutes but then drops  and won't connect or find wifi network again

    A
    Any ideas why my iPhone 5s won't connect to wifi networks. Sometimes does find the networks and others finds them, connects for a few then drops

    You do not say if you tried any diagnostic steps yet. The first thing to do is to do a reset or reboot of the phone. This does not erase anything on the phone and is akin to completely shutting the phone off and then a fresh reboot.
    First close all apps - double click on the home button and whisk away the apps toward the top of the phone to close the app.
    Now press the home button once to go back to the regular menu screen
    No press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake button the the top right side together for 10 seconds. The phone will turn off and reboot.
    See if that fixes it.

  • Safari Home Page On Secure Wifi Network Login

    My employer has a very secure guest network. Sometimes when I log in and connect, my Ipad goes directly to Apple.com. This causes a problem because if I hit the Home key so I can open Safari, my Ipad disconnects from the WiFi network and I get a "not connected" message. How can I set my Ipad to go directly to a web page in Safari after logging in?

    King Penguin, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the issue is still there. When I open Safari, I don't get the secure login website to get into the wi-fi network. If I click on the network in Settings, sometimes the login page pops up, but my IPad goes directly to Apple.com, and it's not in Safari, so I can't access another website, and if I close Apple.com and open Safari, the wi-fi connection is lost.

  • Airport on computer does not see any wifi networks

    Airport worked fine until recently and worked fine when I installed new OS a while back. I can see no wifi networks including my Airport Express. My other Mini sees it and others as well as my MacBook so it seems to be an issue with that computer.
    Sometimes I can log into my network by choosing Join Other Network but sometimes it doesn't work like now. Earlier today I logged in in this method and then it dropped out and I haven't been able to connect again. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?

    Yes, I had thought of that too. Just wanted to avoid buying another card without being sure of the problem.
    I've now tried setting up two routers to the 5GHz band, and sure enough, they both work and their wifis are picked by the macmini. All the other wifi networks I see around my house seem to be 54g.
    So it seems that only the b/g part of the macmini's wifi card is broken, while the n part is working properly. Do you know if this is possible or if there is a configuration in the macmini that is forcing it to only use the 802.11N?
    Thanks for your help anyway!

  • [SOLVED] NetworkManager does not connect to WiFi networks

    I'm using `networkmanager` to connect WiFi.
    I have selected WiFi Name through `networkmanager`.
    Next, enter WiFi Password.
    But the problem is, `networkmanager` asks me about password again and again and over again and does not connect to WiFi never !!!!
    I'm sure WiFi password that I entered is correct.

  • Connected Touchpad to Work Computer now I get "Network Login Message" No internet Connection

    I tried charging my Touchpad on my work computer the USB icon showed up on TP.  After charging, I could no longer access the internet.  I'm constantly getting Network Login required, No internet connection.
    I have no problems using at home or at various hot spots, but at work, no matter what I do I get the same message.  I've tried to power off/on router.. didn't work.  Rebooting my TP.. didn't work.  Changing Chanels on Router.. didn't work.  I don't know if a factory reset is needed or the doctor fix is needed.  I read just about every post on this form, but I 'm a novice and am having difficulty turning the tech talk into layman's terms. 
    Additionaly, I would like to know how to make my TP more useful with regard to using on the Android market, but I don't want to brick the unit.  I purchased in 2011 to use at work and can't use it due to the problems listed. 

    I'm not sure what the fix is for the network issue at work.  Does the TP even recognize the network at your office?  You could try a full erase reset as a less-drastic step than doctoring.
    As for Android on your TP, it is not officially supported here, but I can tell you that it's the bomb.  I have CM9 on one TP, and CM10 on another.  They both work great, very stable.  Suggest you check out CM9 here, and and CM10 here.  Beyond that, it's pretty much self-help on installation.  Of course, it is also at your own risk.

  • Why does the WPA Enterprise Wifi Network not get displayed?

    I wanted to connect to the wifi of my university via eduroam and was not able to even get the eduroam network displayed in the list of Wifi networks. I'm sure that it was there, because I tried it on several spots and my laptop was always able to find it and connect to it. Could it be that WPA Enterprise is not supported? It's quite standard already, isn't it?
    There would be a second option to connect to an open network and add a VPN tunnel, but I could not find any vpn-Application for Firefox OS.
    Did I oversee something or is there really no possibility to access any of my university networks?
    I am using an Alcatel One Touch Fire (German language set) with current Firefox OS 1.1.0.0-prerelease

    It seems to me that WPA Enterprise is not currently enabled in Firefox OS.
    There are several bugs regarding this feature, among others: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790056
    Regarding VPN, there is a recent thread, which also indicates that this feature is not currently supported. See the discussion here:

    It also lists the bug-id related to this features.
