Files do not sync between iPad and Mac using iCloud

I have Pages and Numbers installed on by my iMac and my iPad. I have iCloud set up on each as well.
When I create new documents on my iPad, they do not appear on my iMac. Similarly, when I create new documents on the iMac and save to iCloud, they do not appear on the iPad.
I have tried turning document syncing on and off on the iMac. I have also tried turning syncing off and back on for each individual app on the iPad. I checked some of the other discussions on this topic. I have checked all my account settings, and I don't see any references to "Mobile Me" anywhere, so I'm not sure that's causing any issues, as I've read may be the case with some other users.
I noticed something that I thought was strange. When I have sync turned on everywhere and I modify a document or create a new document on the iMac, after opening the corresponding program on the iPad, the "Use iCloud" option under that app is set to "Off" in the iPad Settings. This even happens when no modifications have been made to any documents. If I set all "Use iCloud" options to "On" and then quit all running programs on the iPad, if I relaunch either Pages or Numbers, that app's "Use iCloud" option is reset to "Off" when I go back into settings on the iPad.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I was just looking at this again and noticed something strange.
Under the iCloud section of the Settings on my iPad, I don't have a "Documents and Data" option. Essentially, every time I use a program that wants to access iCloud for documents, that program's individual settings are reset to not use iCloud.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again for any help.

Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
(We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.)

HT204053 calanders do not sync between ipad and iphone

I have my wife's hand me down 1st generation Ipad with 4G and a 4Gs iphone but my calanders do not sync between the phone and the ipad.
My PC has icloud installed and turned on and my ipad and iphone have the cloud turned on.
All three pieces have current software.

If you mean photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud on both devices and sign into iCloud account with the same Apple ID, then turn photo stream to On. After that, new photos added to the camera roll will be uploaded to photo stream when the camera app is closed, it is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining. They will appear on your other device in the my photo stream album.

Files (music/videos) sync between devices and Mac

Hi all. Hope you would be able to help.
I have iOS devices (iPhone and iPod touch) and a Macbook Pro. Basically, I would like to sync all my media files to my iPod touch (i.e. all my music and videos) but only a few albums to my iPhone (due to limited iPhone storage and its main use being for other apps and communication).
Sync between Macbook Pro and iPod touch is perfectly fine and straight forward - just syncing all files between the 2. However, when I connect my iPhone to the Macbook Pro, I know there is an option which I can sync specific albums but if I connect the iPhone the second time, will the Macbook Pro recognizes that there are only a few albums in my iPhone and decides to wipe out the rest of the albums in the music library? I just want to make sure that the Macbook Pro recognizes the 2 devices as 2 "separate devices" and I am able to sync how many files I want for specific devices whilst my Macbook Pro preserves all the media files. Can anyone guide me how to make sure the above operation on iTunes?
Many thanks.

My documents are not syncing between iPad2 and Mac Pro using iCloud

I just download Lion yesterday...iCloud is turned on to sync documents on my MacPro, my iPhone 4, and my iPad 2, all using the new iOS 5...however, documents are not showing. I created a document on my iPad2 using Pages, and it does not show on my Mac. I create a document on my Mac and it does not show on my iPad2. What is wrong?

iwork on Lion does no document syncing. Regardless if you have set "document and data" in icloud preferences on a Mac. Not one single app uses this setting on OSX. Thus far document syncing is iOS5 devices only.
You must visit www.icloud.com from Mac to download your files .
After editing them you need to re-upload them manually also via the Browser to have them updated on your iOS devices.

Why won't Notes sync between iPad and iPhone?

I own an iPad and iPhone and use MobileMe. My contacts, calendar, mail and iDisk all sync properly but I can't get Notes to work.
On my iPhone Notes, I have the option of selecting the following accounts:
From my PC
MobileMe
My 3 different email addresses
I have placed my notes under both "From my PC" and "MobileMe."
My iPad doesn't even give me the option to select the various accounts in the same way the iPhone does.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I couldn't find any other topics that are having problems similar to mine.

I purchased my ipad at a Apple store and the salesman sold me the mobileme convincing me that everything including Notes would sync in the clouds! I still cant understand why we're paying for something that doesn't yet work. This is unacceptable. I just want my NOTES to seamlessly sync between my iphone, ipad and mobileme just like everybody else. Is this too much to ask or expect? Besides, isnt what thousands of paying mobileme subscribers expect.
I want my NOTES to be identical on all platforms and not have to check my mail accounts. As far as my Notes taken with my Ipad, they don't sync anywhere and spent endless hours trying to figure it out only to find out that the sync feature is not yet available for the Notes on my ipad. Thanks Apple! You succeeded to mislead me and taking my money in advance. How long do we have to wait for this to be resolved? We have the right to get a truthful answer and don't appreciate being fooled.

IMessage not syncing between iPad and iPod Touch (4th gen)

Hi
I have been looking for an answer to my question a few day now.
I can't make my iMessage sync the messages I send or receive between my iPad and iPod.
If I send a message on my iPad it does not appear on my iPod and vice versa.
The same thing with receiving messages.
My settings are on both the i-devices the same:
Setting
State
iMessage
ON
Send Read Receipts
ON
Send & Receive
2 Email Addresses
Show Subject Field
OFF
Send & Receive:
Apple ID: ***@me.com
You can be reached by iMessage at:
***@icloud.com [Selected]
***@me.com [Selected]
Start new conversations from:
***@icloud.com
***@me.com [Selected]
(The @me.com and @icloud.com addresses are the same in front of the @)
Any suggestions on what is going wrong?

My calendar is not syncing between iphone and Mac air on iCloud.

Hi
The calendar entries I am adding either on my iphone or mac air via icloud are not syncying between the devices. Is anyone else having this problem currently? If yes, how can it be resolved. I have deleted the account and added it back in but to no avail.
Thanks

Are all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud? If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync. Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync. They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.

Reminders NOT syncing between ipad and iphone

About to pull my hair out. I have tried so many differnent combinations to get this to work (after reading other posts). Original problem was that I could update from iphone and the new remnders would then be on the icloud calendar, but not on the ipad. Finally, after reading other posts, stopped reminders from both devices and cleared the ones on off my iphone only. They went away on the cloud and were never on the ipad.
I then enabled reminders on the ipad. Most merged to the cloud, but it erased one whole list of reminders while keeping the list name. Can now see the remaining ones on the cloud and ipad. Reenabled on the iphone and can now see them there too.
Went to rebuild the ones that "disappeared" from the ipad. All are entered and they ONLY show on the ipad - not on the cloud nor iphone.
The list name of the ones that disappeared is the same name of a calender. From the cloud, I changed the name of that list. A few seconds later, the name changed on both devices.
Communication is happening, but the new items in that now renamed list are still not on the cloud and, subsequently, not on the ipone.
HELP!!

The tasks that I'm attemptign to sync are actually through an Outlook exchange server. Besides that, I sync everything through iCloud.
The only time recently that I've synced with my computer is when I updated to iOS 6, and a few times recently, as I've also lost the ability to wi-fi sync for soem reason.

IMessage not syncing between iPad and iPhone.

My mom got an iPad and she is having trouble with iMessage between her iPad and iPhone. On my iPad when I go to messages settings and it shows how I want to iMessage, it shows my cell phone number first then my email address second. So when anybody iMessages me I get it on both my iPhone and iPad. On my moms iPad in the messages settings it's showing she sends and receives iMessages through her email. Her cell phone number associated with her apple id isnt showing up. When she gets an iMessage its only showing up on her iPhone. Not her iPad. How do I fix this? I honestly don't know how I did mine. I think it did it automatically.

If you go on the iPad and look at Messages in Settings, what do you see in Send & Receive? You might try turning off Messages and then wait a minute and turn it back on. If you log in with the same Apple ID, it should automatically populate the phone number. Then check the phone and see if you can see in Settings>Messages that you have Text Message Forwarding.

Calendars and Contacts not syncing between iPhone and Mac

Hello.
I am using a MacPro4,1 (early 2009) running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.4.
In iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Calendars Settings are set to: Sync – All Events.
In iTunes, Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi is checked.
Calendar and Contacts aren't syncing, in neither direction, neither over Wi-Fi nor by cable. (I haven't, and won't try iCloud or however that thing is called now.)
No idea why. I'd be thankful for any hint.

so there's nothing but iCloud to do this? Is there a workaround? Or do I have to use either other a different set of applications, or another set of operating system and hardware? Not syncing is no option, iCloud isn't either, changing systems is.

Sharing Documents between the iPad and Mac using iCloud?

I use Pages on my iPad and have it set to share documents via iCloud. When I open Pages on my iMac,however, I do not see any way to access those documents on iCloud. Am I missing something really obvious?

I have absolutely the latest apps and operating system on my iPad and my iMac.
The whole point, I thought, of iCloud's documents sync is that documents should be easily sync'd between Pages, Numbers and Keynote on different platforms.
Pages on the iPad and iPhone store the docments in a "special" folder. In Mac OSX documents can be saved anywhere on the Mac.
I don't know about the "native" file format on the iPhone of iPad, but if I email the document to my Mac, Pages on the Mac can open the file. Its just that I shouldn't have to email it since it's already on iCloud and the Mac has a connection to iCloud.
