HT204053 username issue with icloud

I set up my 4S with different username for the cloud and apple ID how can I change theme to the same?

Yes, this is the issue. iCloud wouldn't help you in this case, because your contacts are stored on a Google server. You would have to set up your google account on your devices to sync your contacts between them. Please see this website for more information: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/3008051?hl=en&ref_topic=21369
I hope it will help you.

Issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices. iTouch and iPad2 sync with different results from iMac. Thoughts?

Has any one experienced issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices? The primary machine is an iMac running Lion. Address Book was created from vcf file (backup of address book prior to moving to iCloud). iTouch replicates Contacts just fine and matches the Address Book on the iMac. The iPad 2 does not showing only 123 contacts where there should be 200. I have turned off iCloud on both devices thus erasing the iCloud content of both devices and staring from scratch with both devices with identical results. Even turned off iCloud on the iMac and erased the Address Book and rebuilt with the same results. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am going nuts.....

To follow-up with this issue:
I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

Issue with iCloud.. email address and responding

Hi Everyone,
Not sure why this is happening but I have encountered some recent issues with iCloud. A little history I restored my iphone 4s and have reinstalled and reset all my accounts, apps, and services. All was working well until this last week.
1) Before (restoring my phone), I was able to reply to any email (icloud or other) on my phone AND select which ever 'from account' I had available, INCLUDING the icloud alaises. Now when I reply through the phone I do not get access to those alaises for some reason.
2) Through the browser (Safari or Chrome), I can not reply to emails in iCloud. It crashes. I can however forward, but once I hit reply it generates an error.
iCloud has also somehow merged my emails addresses into mail but again disregarding the alaises created. I don't sync my MacBook Mail with iCloud Mail documents (Thank God), but I do sync Calendars, and Contacts. (Btw it would be nice to select which Contact groups to sync with as on iTunes)
Not sure what is going on but it has become quite annoying especially when it was working just fine about 2-3 weeks ago.
Any ideas/solutions?
Thanks

Try going back to http://appleid.apple.com and changing the ID back to the original address. If you can get this accepted, then go to the iCloud preferences/settings pane, stop 'Find My ....', and then sign out. Do the same on any other devices or computers.
Then go back to http://appleid.apple.com and change the ID to the new one. Sign in with that on all your devices.
However as the address which forms the original ID is now not working it can't be validated and it's possible that you won't be able to revert to it. In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

Issues with iCloud registration

Hi I'm having an issue with Icloud on my mac and iphone. I have tried setting it up more than once, but I never seem to receive the confirmation email. It doesn't go to my spam account, my email is accurate and apple is not blocked. Anyone else having this issue?

Fromsouth, I think you have misinterpret what i'm trying to say.
First of all, thanks for your help and advice.
I know that I can used my old ID in the settings for purchases, however I am using icloud.com for all of my mails, calendar etc. however I do not want to change my email address as I have changed it once from Hotmail.
You mentioned that it is stupid just to have an icloud.com address. If Microsft and Google can do it, i'm sure apple can. If I forget my Microsoft password I get them to send the reset password to my phone or I used my computer or any other authorised device to reset my password.
Don't get me wrong as I am a big fan of apple, all i'm missing from the apple range is a Mac. I truly do love the apple approach and I love my iGadgets. However, I would love to have the option of just having an apple account as I do not want or need a microsft or Google account. In fact, i'm happy to pay the premium to have extra iCloud storage....
And you are right, iCloud is an excellent service, one that I have come to rely on.

I have issues with icloud backup.

Hi,
I am facing issues with icloud backup, i have successfully backed up data from iphone 5s to icloud with contacts, notes, calender, reminders etc.
Unfortunately i can not see the same information after logging in online from browser. After two days the data is restored to one year back icloud back up on my iphone 5s.
Need help on this.

A backup of an iPhone using iCloud does not result in the ability to log in to iCloud and view the information (i.e., to see the actual data that was backed up). You can go on your iPhone to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage > device name and see how much storage the latest backup is occupying and when it was done.
Things like Contacts that are viewable when logging in to iCloud.com are the result of having Settings > iCloud > Contacts (as an example) turned on to sync - which is a different thing than a backup.
The results of an iCloud backup are only rely viewable when restored back to an iOS device. I'm not sure any of that explanation helps with your current problem but it might help clarify the terminology that Apple uses.

I have been having syncing issues with icloud notes, contacts, and now icloud email. Does anyone have suggestions?

Just recently, I have been unable to receive icloud email on my iphone and new ipad3. Although, I am a loyal apple consumer, I feel a bit let down. I am a PhD student and used my ipad/icloud email for downloading and reading PDF journal articles. My goal is to eventally buy a MacBook Pro and eliminate some of the syncing issues with icloud by storing my documents on the hard drive. I hope this will give me some relief from all the trouble I have had with icloud. Please share your suggestions.

Right now, there is an iCloud blackout. Most people are having issues syncing Notes, Calenders, and Contacts between devices, emails aren't being sent, and Find My iPhone isn't working.

I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update

I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update. I'm able to back via work wifi but not at home. Any ideas?

Hi BmoreHunter.
     As far as using the bridge mode method you'd need to see what CLJDOhas to say, as that user is the only one that I see in this thread who used this method. The method that worked for me is different. I went out and bought a new modem. This made the most sense to me since the firmware in the unit that comcast gave me had issues and I am paying to rent the thing, I figured that I'll save some money if I just buy my own.
     I ended up purchasing a motorola SURFboard eXtreme (model SB6121) for $70 (happened to be on sale) from my local Target. For another $7 I was able to secure a 2yr warranty against failure, which was my only hesitation in buying vs renting.
     This modem should work just fine for you since you are a comcast customer. If you decide to go with a different modem, the important thing is to make sure that you purchase a modem that is compatible with the technology that your ISP (in this case comcast) uses. Also DOCSIS 3.0 is the "flavor" of cable modem you want as it will give you better performace than DOCSIS 2.0 devices (such as an older Motorola SURFboard).
     Once you buy the modem you will have to call comcast and have them add the modem to your account. They'll ask for the MAC address of the modem, then send a re-set signal to it, so make sure you are home when you call and can connect/disconnect the modem as needed. After your modem is added to your account and up and running you can then connect your new AirPort Express to the modem (via ethernet cable) and you should be all set!

Will I have issues with iCloud & ios5?

Hi there, I'm trying to find out if my predicament will cause me issues?
I have both an iTunes account and a me account neither are linked.
Am I now going to have issues with icloud or will I just have 2 log ins one for my back ups e.t.c. and one for my emails and that?
Thanks

Google 2 Step Verification on Gmail causing 10.9 issues with iCloud Keychain Sync?

Hi
I have just installed 10.9 on my Air 2011 and it works fine. I signed up the iCloud Keychain sync. I also updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.3 and also signed up for iCloud keychain sync. All appeared well until I set up my iMac 2009. This had the same email accounts setup but as POP not IMAP (my bad) and so I ended up with multiple email account copies everywhere. I corrected this on each device without issue. Managed to lock an exchange account for work but I can sort that through IT support tomorrow. Anyway an issue with my Gmail cropped up. As I have 2 step verification enabled I have application specific passwords for each device. Now I found that the iMac (last to move to 10.9) propagated its app specific password to the Air and then locked the Gmail access out. If I correct on the Air it propagates back to the iMac locking that out of my Gmail account.
So iCloud Keychain sync only seems to support one password for each email account.
The only option I can see is disable 2 step on gmail and revert to my account password rather than an app specific password.
Has anyone had a similar issue?
Has anyone managed to get a solution where gmail 2 step can be retained?
Is there a way to block certain accounts from participating in the iCloud Keychain sync?
Is there a way to force the same app specific password on multiple gmail accessing devices?
Any help welcomed.
Thanks

Yep. My other iMac works now too on App specific passwords and iCloud Keychain sync. So that is my iPad, iPhone, Mac Pro, Air, iMac 2012 all working fine on Gmail App Specific passwords. Just my iMac 2009, presume its my bad and in need of a revoke. Sorry for wasting all your time.

Issue with iCloud and PC Outlook 2007 Contacts

Hey,
So I finally managed to update to iOS 5, and it's fun playing around and learning the new things, but I already got issues. Minor, but still a nuissance.
Once synced, My Outlook Calendar became duplicated, and with the slide down tab started showing double notifications.
My bigger issue is with how it's syncing with the Contacts. It emptied the Main Contact folder into an iCloud Contact folder; fine. However, the Contact Cards would sync perfectly with the original Outlook Calendar, insterting birthdays and everything. Now, any NEW birthday that I try to add to a new contact, it won't show up on the iCloud calendar, without selecting "show birthdays". I find this redundant since it now makes double birthday reminders when for those already saved from before the iOS upgrade.
Why is this happening? Why can't I just continue using the Outlook Contact cards the same way, and have them load the same way? Why can't I just add them to the iPhone contact slot, and have them show up WITHOUT selecting the birthday calendar?
Thanks.

Win 7, Outlook 2007 iPhone 4S
The major issue after reading 100's of posts is this. iCloud sync creates new contacts and calendars (populated with the Outlook current default contact and calendar info then deletes the folders-check outlook trash to recover). This works if you never use Outlook because Outlook is always using the default folders for lookups, saving, etc. and the data from those folders have been deleted.
- double clicking on an email address never finds anyone b/c its in the icloud contact folder
- accepting a calendar invitation works...but puts it in the default calendar which iCloud never looks at.
- reminders can't be used in the non-default calendar on the PC.
I think...if MS allowed you to select which file your default contacts, calendar were in...independently from your default email pst...Outlook could perform in sync with iCloud. Nutty implementation by Apple though.
I'm restoring everything back to the way it was...in addition now I'm also getting duplicate appointments on the iPhone (home, office).

Issues with iCloud

When I try to play music directly from iCloud on my iPad, it stops playing part-way through the song. These are songs that have not actually been downloaded to my device but are stored in the cloud. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

It might be an issue with your internet connection. You could also try force closing the Music app by double-tapping the home button, locating Music in the list, swiping up on the image above the app icon to close it, then tapping the home button again.

Anyone having login issues with iCloud system preference ?

have been having issues with Login in to make changes in iCloud system preference. When I click on my icloud account inside systme prefrence it ask me to enter the password , after entering the password still everything is grayed out and cant make any changes. what is wrong?

Same thing happened. It seems to default to another me.com address I had before changing to the current me.com address. Resetting the default keychain exaxtly does what? Does it also remove all other keychain enties?
Thanks

Having issues with iCloud server...

request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) of "iCloud" account not succesfull . Tried to delete the account, recreate iCloud calendar, but still this error and syncing problems, any idea? thanks Marco

Haven't been able to sync with iCloud all day. Apple phone support stated there is likely a server issue which will hopefully be resolved within next few hours.

A small issue with iCloud, Address Book, and Admin accounts

Ok, I have a Macbook Pro running Lion/iCloud, and my wife has an iMac running Lion/iCloud.
I first noticed this issue when I went to Airdrop a file to her, and her picture in Airdrop turned into my picture that I have as my User account & "Me" in Address Book.
So I went to the iMac and noticed that the "Me" in Address Book was no longer my wife, but me. Not a big deal. I figure it must be the "new way" of iCloud. Whatever.
But I went to change her Admin account back to her normal picture and it worked. But then it changed back by itself. Annoying. I tried it again and it changed itself back again. So, it must be reading the default picture from Address Book/iCloud.
I guess the overall issue is that iCloud wants 1 identity for an entire family of devices. I understand this for syncing purposes, but it's annoying because my wife and I are not 1 person. She has her personality on her iMac, and I have mine on my MBP. That's why we have 2 different computers. (Steps off soap box).
I hope Apple loosens up a bit with iCloud and makes it a little more customizable.

I'm having the same frustration. Ugggh.

Is there an issue with iCloud syncing on iWork apps?

I thought everything was ok with iCloud syncing but I seem to now have issues.
I created a spreadsheet under Pages on my iPad (3rd Gen) and, after pressing the 'spreadsheet' button to show thumbnails of all docs being worked on, I'm seeing a small arrow pointing upwards on the thumbnail. Before, I used to see a progress bar updating in the thumbnail (which I presume is updating to iCloud).
Now? Nothing. The arrow stays and nothing is updated on my iPhone 4. In fact, a previous version of my spreadsheet is shown on my iPhone with the same upwards pointing arrow but with the whole thumbnail 'greyed out'. I can't even open it on the iPhone to delete it!
Is this a know issue and are there any fixes? I've tried the usual turning iCloud off and on for both devices but this has not had any effect.

This is ridiculous!
I have now established that there are issues with Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents!!! They surely cannot all be corrupted?
I have managed to salvage an important Numbers Document which I have copied in to iTunes (and subsequently on to my external HD).
To try and rectify the situation I have then turned off iCloud on all 3 apps on both my iPhone 4 and iPad and deleted all documents under each app. I have then gone on to iWork under iCloud and deleted all documents off there (some of which I noted were not the up-to-date documents I had been working on in iOS). I had to turn off iCloud regardless to delete a couple of the documents on my iPhone (under all 3 apps) as some documents were greyed out (see original post) and could not be deleted. As soon as iCloud was disabled it enabled me to remove off the local device.
Having switched iCloud back on to my iPhone and iPad (and bearing in mind I had deleted all documents off both iOS devices and in iCloud) the greyed out thumbnails re-appear (and cannot be deleted or altered!!!!)
Anybody? Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!
