HT204053 icloud won't sync between computers

I bought a film using my apple ID on my laptop, and it won't download on my other machines (mac Mini at home, iPhone, iPad) although I connect with the same Apple ID.
Can you help?

The film studios need to agree to it for a particular country before re-downloading will be possible there, but it is gradually improving (for a long time it wasn't possible anywhere, and then it was just USA, and now more countries are being added) - what can be re-downloaded where.
There are a number of ways that you could do it e.g. copying it to a flashdrive and then adding it (File > Add To Library) - though this page is specifically about music, the same principles should apply to films : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 e.g. if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you should be able to copy them via home sharing.

ITunes won't sync between computers!

I have two macs, one a late 2010 Macbook Pro that I use for University, and a Mac Mini Late 2012 that I use whilst at home.
I buy most of my music from the Mac Mini, but when I come to listen to it on my MBP, it won't sync! It doesn't happen the other way around because today I purchased something on my MBP and it synced fine to the MM.
I've tried all the normal proedures; turning everything on and off again, going to Store > Check for Available Downloads but still nothing! It says everything is synced up nad its not! Very annoying!
I look forward to anyones earliest reply,
Ash

Correct. iTunes does not sync between computers.
It doesn't happen the other way around because today I purchased something on my MBP and it synced fine to the MM.
You mean it automatically downloaded.
going to Store > Check for Available Downloads but still nothing!
Because it has already been downlaoded.
It says everything is synced up nad its not!
You mean it says everything has already been downloaded (not synced).
On both computers...
iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Music under Automatic downloads.
Now when you purchase on one, the other will automatically download (not sync) new purchases.

Pages won't sync between computers in iCloud drive

Since I upgraded to iCloud Drive, I can't get my documents to sync between my laptop and desktop.
Before I upgraded, I could write on the laptop and it would sync with the desktop and vid-versa.
I upgraded to Yosemite thinking this would solve the problem. it did not. I upgraded to pages 5.5 on both. Still no success. Any ideas, or is this something you can't do on Drive. And if you can't, is there a way to go back to the old Cloud? I hate moving files manually -- always afraid I'm writing over the wrong thing.
Thanks.

Hi matthewfromconifer;
The following would be helpful, I suppose:
1- Make a backup of iCloud Drive docs (for precaution) .
2- Go to System Preferences > iCloud
3- iCloud Drive > Options. Uncheck all the applications listed.
4- Turn off iCloud Drive.
   5- Delete the CloudKit folder from:
          ~/Library/Caches
   6- Restart the Mac.
   7- Turn on iCloud Drive
This completely resets iCloud Drive and downloads a clean set of data from iCloud.

ICal won't sync between computers / iphones

Since I started my free trial with mobileme, I have been trying to synch calendars between two desktop computers and two iPhones. No luck.
I have established a number of calendars on my me.com account, using my iMac. I also share these calendars with only those people I invite. I can see these calendars on the iCal on my iMac, but I cannot see these calendars on my MacBook Pro iCal. When I open an email on my MacBook Pro, alerting me to the Mobile Me calendar, I cannot join that calendar: "You can't join calendars you're sharing."
So how can I get all of the calendars to sync between both computers? If I resolve that problem, maybe the iPhone sync will resolve itself.

I got some help from MobileMe Support. Here's how they solved the problem.
On the laptop, open iCal and click the word iCal at top of the screen. Choose Preferences. 2. Click Accounts. 3. Click the plus button at the bottom of the page. 4. From the "Account Type," please choose "CalDAV." Enter your full MobileMe email address, including the @me.com suffix. If you don't include @me.com, the setup will not be successful. 5. Enter your MobileMe password. 6. For the Server address, please enter: cal.me.com 6. Click the Create button.

Thanks!

Hi vichochile,
If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

HT4858 Photostream/iCloud won't sync with PC.

Photostream/iCloud won't sync with PC. Everything is turned on, works for iPhone and iPad just not PC. Do not want to wipe phone to fix what should be a simple (and paid for) thing. Used to work fine but hasn't in a couple of months, even though no settings were changed. Please help

I have the same issue. My photos stopped on Nov.9th.
I just deleted and reinstalled version 3.1 and it took 90 pictures from my Photostream and transfered them to my PC
Thing is that I have 318 pics in my Photostream. The synching works fine between my iPhone 5S, iPad2, iPhone 3G and iPhone 5.
My wife is getting a iPad Air for Xmas so no idea of how it will work then but I assume it will be no problem.
I have Windows 7 and so does my mom on her laptop and PC which I also connected so I don't have to send her pics but she can just check. I had to update both machines to 3.1 and they only grabbed 85 pictures.
This is quite annoying when you live 500 kilometers apart and all worked fine until the latest updates.
Please Apple fix this asap as it's a lifeline for families all over the world

Any way to sync between computers?

I can't sync my Tungsten E2 to my Vista 64 computer. But I can sync to my XP Pro computer (32). Is there a way to sync between the computers? Or to use the files on the XP on the Vista 64?
Thanks,
Chas

You cannot sync between computers, What can be done though, to get the data from your E2 to the Vista 64 bit PC is to sync by bluetooth. You can check in your device manager to see if the PC already has bluetooth installed. If it does just find the bluetooth port on your PC, put the E2 a couple of inches away from the PC and in hotsync manager choose to hot sync by bluetooth. If you don't have bluetooth already installed on your PC you will need to purchase a USB bluetooth dongle, install the drivers that come with it and then sync. The first time you sync it could take a little while depending on how much data you have on the device. Hope this helps.....

HT4929 can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?

Can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?...or must I upgrade to 10.7? Most contacts are on my iPhone from my former WIN machine running Outlook.

iOS 5 is for your iPhone. 10.7.2 or later, Lion, is for the computer. You can upgrade by clicking on the App Store icon in the Dock or Applications folder. Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Locate the Lion installer application. Purchase and download - $30.00.

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

Icloud won't sync with my iMac 2013

Hi everybody
Maybe someone can help me out with the following issue. I bought me an Imac 27'' one month ago to replace my macbook pro which had become to small concerning the screen. I used the migration assistant to copy all of my data to my new Imac and everything went smooth except for my contacts. Icloud won't sync any addresses into the contact application and neither can I use a backup file to get my contacts into the application. Everything else works just fine with Icloud. I already tried to deactivate Icloud and reactivate it, but none did work. I thought that the update to 10.8.3 might help...but no it didn't. So here I am hoping that maybe someone out there might help me with this I'm sure tiny issue.
Greetings from Luxembourg and thanks in advance for your help.

Open System Preferences / iCloud
Make sure: Documents & Data is selected.

ICal won't sync between Leopard & Tiger computers

So, I'm loving Leopard on my Intel iMac and iBook, however the work cpu is still on Tiger for technical reasons.
Problem: My iCal on the home computers doesn't sync with my work machine..... Am I doing something wrong (do I need to reset something), or is this a 'known' issue?
I appreciate any info... (i'm having a tough time syncing my home/personal calendars! :))

I found the solution last night -- and it involved resetting the sync data. I thought that I had already done this by resetting the sync data in the iSync application, but that was the wrong place.
Here's what you should do:
First decide which computer has your "master" calendar. For me that was the one with 10.4.11 on it, as I could get my 10.5.1 calendar events onto the 10.4.11 computer, but not vice-versa.
Second, from the "master" computer, open up the .Mac preference pane, click on the "Advanced" tab, and then click "Reset Sync Data."
When given the option, make sure that you use the data on your computer to replace the data on .Mac.
Third, go to the 10.5.1 computer, and do the same thing (note that the .Mac pref pane is organized a bit differently).
This time, make the sync direction go the other way -- from .Mac back to your 10.5.1 computer.
Note that after clicking the "resent sync data" button, you are offered an option to limit things to just the calendars (excluding things like contacts, keychains, etc.). I recommend doing that.
Note also that you might want to export the database from iCal (and/or Address Book) before doing this -- you can do that from the "File" menu in both apps -- it's just a good back-up strategy in case disaster strikes.
That's it -- for me, everything synced properly between computers after doing these things.
Note that there is an Apple Support Document I also found on this topic that spurred me to try this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301378
Good luck,

ICloud won't sync with Office Documents on Windows Desktop - A huge limitation

I'm not able to sync my Macbook and iPhone to the Office documents on my Windows desktop. I want to use Pages on both my iPhone and Macbook to edit the Word documents I store on my Windows desktop.
This is very limiting and would force me to find another solution (I know many in this same situation). What will Apple do to address this?

Thanks Csound1. That's what I figured out. It is unfortunate, since I really wanted to use iCloud.
There are several other cloud services that support syncing documents between a Windows, OSX, and iOS platform without any restrictions. I could use them to cloud sync documents from my Windows desktop to either my iPhone or Macbook, and then use Pages, Numbers, or Keynote to update . The only tricky part is syncing it back to the cloud from my iPhone, which requires me to email the updates back and then manually update the sync file using sync management software (either Mac or Windows). Somewhat clugy and error prone, but it works until a better solution emerges. Perhaps a solution is around the corner -Microsoft is now developing new Office Suite products for iOS, OSX, and Windows, so perhaps this will be able to provide true cross platform compatability that many businesses need along with seamless cloud syncing.
I really hope Apple soon supports iCloud syncing of Office files to Windows. iCloud already supports syncing with Outlook on the Windows platform, so I can't see why Apple won't support syncing Office documents to a Windows platform. Every other cloud service supports this.

Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
Any ideas?!

Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself. When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again. Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now. If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.
