Does my iPhone's iCloud only sync with devices with my apple id?

If I use my icloud to backup all my stuff will it only come up with an accout with my id or any itunes account? Seems like a dumb question, but i'm hearing otherwise.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not sure what you are asking exactly.
If you mean back up, it only backs up your phone to iCloud, if for what ever reason the software becomes corrupt or you need to replace the phoen, you can restore it to as it was when you backed up.
If you mean sync, then yes data is only synced between devices that use the same iCloud ID and account as your phone does.

  • Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

    Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for further assistance.

  • I have just upgraded my iPhone to the 4s.  Previously my iPhone 3s videos would sync with my apple tv (first version) via iTunes.  Now the apple tv says the video format is unsupported.  Is there a way to change the format?  Thanks.

  • Does version 3.0.1 allow sync with older Macs with PPC, or only with icloud?

    Thanks again John,
    That is exactly what I mean, Im having problems giving planning users only calc access for Essbase. If I do that the users are not able top run scripts from the Planning app.
    What is strange is that for a while it was working for some users, but not for others, now the only thng that works is to give users admin rights for Essbase server.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • I have one icloud account sync with two devices. I made a note on my iphone. Suddenly it lost and all i see is note from my ipad. Is there any way to restore the note? Help me pls. Thanks.

    Please help me as my note from iphone lost when it sync with another device. How can i restore back the note?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs. I have previously suggested ways to recover contacts, calendars etc, and other users have confirmed that they work, as such I am making the following suggestions to recover lost notes, but please note, as yet success is unconfirmed ***.
    Recovering your notes is quite time consuming, you may wish not to save all your notes to save some time, if they are not of importance.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Open the 'Notes' app, and open your first note (assuming your deleted notes have now been restored).
    Select the share option at the foot of the screen (rectangle with arrow) and choose mail.
    Send the email to yourself (If they won't send, save them to draft)
    Repeat steps 7 & 8, until you have copied all the notes you wish to save to email.
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and make sure 'Notes' syncing is enabled.
    Open the 'Notes' app, check that iCloud notes have reverted to how they were before starting the restore.
    Open the 'Mail' app and open the first email you sent yourself and copy the text you want in the note.
    Open the 'Notes' app and create a new note in the iCloud, paste the text you copied.
    Go to iCloud.com on a computer and check that the note has synced to iCloud.
    Repeat steps 12, 13 & 14 until you have recovered all your notes.
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.
    *** As a matter of protocol, anything that I can’t test myself will need to be confirmed by at least 5 individuals before I’m willing to accept it as confirmed. At this time only 2 individuals have confirmed it to work.

  • Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts.  I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device.  Any ideas, anyone?

    Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook2010 Calendar and Outlook2010 Contacts.  I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device.  Any ideas, anyone?

    It's good to know.  The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit.  The larger problem is that it partially works:  partially and erratically.  So clean-up is great fun.

    my iphone 3 will not sync with itunes, it says Apple mobile device is not started, also doing it with ipad - can anyone help??? thanks

    Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

  • My iPhone is requesting to sync with icloud, but it is using on old ID and password. How do I delete the old ID and password?

    My iPhone is requesting to sync with icloud, but it is using on old ID and password. How do I delete the old ID and password?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
