ICal & Address Book Not Updating from iCloud

I updated everything Apple throughout the day today, including my iPhone & MacBook Pro. I now have iOS 5 on my iPhone 4, OS X 10.7.2 on my MacBook, and all the apps associated with those 2 have been updated as well. I have iCloud set up on both my iPhone and MacBook. From what I understood from the demonstrations and ads about iCloud, when I add a calendar entry or change an address book entry on my iPhone, it will immediately be updated on my MacBook. I tried adding an event on my iPhone after everything was set up, and 4 hours later, it still is not showing up on my MacBook. The address book entry that I changed is also not showing up on my MacBook. Photo Stream is set up and running on both my MacBook and iPhone, so I know my credentials are entered correctly. I have Address Book and iCal checked in the options to be a part of iCloud on my MacBook, so it appears that everything should be staying in sync.
Any ideas why the changes on my iPhone would not be showing up immediately on my MacBook?
Thanks

Install the Lion 10.7.2 OSx update or later.
In Apple/System Preferences/Internet/Wireless, connect to iCloud account.
1. In iCal/Preferences/Accounts, add iCloud.
2. In iCalPreferences/General, change the default calendar and reminder group to ones from iCloud, otherwise adding new appointments in iCal will default to the On My Mac calendar and they not show up in the iCloud calendar.
3. In iCal/Calendars deselect the On My Mac calendars.
4. To get subscriptions back, go to each of the subscriptions under iCal/Calendars and select Get Info then change the location from On My Mac to iCloud.

  • Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    I believe the duplicate address book accounts stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud and both accounts still being active.
    This is how I merged the two address books:
    1) To make sure all the contacts are in both:
    a) I selected On My Mac account - clicked on any address - Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the iCloud account - answered OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    b) same in reverse: select the iCloud account - click on an address - click Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the On My Mac account - answer OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
    1)  In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
    2)  In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
    3)  I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
    4)  In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
    I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
    … spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

  • HT4489 address book not loading to icloud?  it works fine in .mac  but not .me com?

    address book not loading in icloud. loads fine in .mac account but .me will not load?

    [email protected] and [email protected] are the same accounts.
    Are you saying that you are trying to sync your contacts to iCloud?  Are the two accounts you  mention ".mac" and ".me" actually different in that they are [email protected]  vs.  [email protected]?  If so, your device can only use one account at once - and you should stick to only one account.

  • Pages app is not updating from iCloud

    My pages app is not updating from iCloud after I installed the new ios8 and of course an update to the Pages app. Did follow the recommendation not to upgrade to the iCloud Drive on initial upgrade to iOS 8.
    When I log on line - on the iCloud site, I am able to see all the documents. These also appear on my windows iCloud Drive (Of course the updating is so slooooow  ).
    Have tried the following:
    1. Enabled Pages to update via iCloud and iCloud Drive - documents not updated
    2. Enabled Pages to update via iCloud and DISABLED iCloud Drive - documents not updated ( Pages update via iCloud switches off by itself)
    please if any one has a solution to this Help!
    or it means just be patient and it will eventually down load the documents. So Frustrating  !

    Sorry, misunderstanding.
    I've purchased Pages from iTunes two/three months ago and all worked fine on both iPhone and iPad.
    Now here is the problem mentioned above: after upgrading iOS, it is disappeared from both devices still remaining on iTunes.. but I'm not able to re-install it by each other syncronization (as I can for all the other apps) as usual.

  • Address book not updating/odd sync issues

    I've been fighting with this for about a week now. We are looking to simply have a shared address book for our office. We have one windows XP machine, but we aren't even worried about that at this point. He's actually on a macbook pro, so we'll likely end up running him on parallels eventually. Other then that, its strictly macs with the most up to date versions of the OS. I figured from the literature, it'd be a matter of creating an address book on the server and hitting "share", but reading around, it seems I'm not the only one having issues.
    I set up our iCal by creating a user and set up our calendar. I was able to use the "delegation" tab under the accounts preferences to allow all the users in our office to view and edit the calendar. It's a little clunky, but overall not terrible. It works great. Updates come within 10 seconds to everyone.
    I figured Address Book would be the same setup, but no such luck. I did the same process, but there isn't an option to delegate. We have three groups of contacts in our Address Book. Customers, Suppliers, and Employees. When I got it all up, one computer would get one group, another's wouldn't' get anything, and someone else might get two of them. If anyone edited anything, no one else got it. Where am I going wrong here?

    O.K. I think I know what's wrong - - although I don't know how to fix it.
    When I look under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, I have two accounts:
    a 'MobileMe' account, that has Mail, Contacts, Calendars and Bookmarks listed underneath it in smaller font, and a second account, named 'office', which has only Mail listed underneath.
    When I'm syncing, I'm successfully getting any new emails (from my 'office' account on my MacBook Pro), but no new Contacts, etc., are coming across.
    I seem to be locked into this mobileme account, which isn't working right. I did check mobileme's 'cloud' page (if that's how you describe it), and my newly added Contacts are there sure enough. They just don't get copied across when I sync.
    Is there a way to sync without using mobileme? Or changing my mobileme account so my default account gets new Contacts as well as new mail?
    Thanks, malcolm

  • Address book not syncing via iCloud ....

    Hey All,
    So i've read some other posts saying to make a backup, and then remove it via sys preference, uncheck contacts, delete them, and then re-check the box, that hasnt worked
    here is my current setup that I use everyday
    iMac 1 - Home
    iMac 2 - Office
    iPhone
    My phone and iMac 1 have the same sync, I created 2 more "categories" on iMac2 and added a bunch of contacts to that group (all 3 devices are using the same username / password) - however, iMac1 and iphone do not get these new contacts / groups, no matter what
    any suggestions?

    FYI, iCloud DOES NOT SYNC, you subscribe to it and that makes it very different from sync systems (including Mobile Me)
    I just moved, yesterday, from MobileMe to iCloud.  I have an iMac, a MacBook Air, an iPhone 4, and the original iPad.
    Would you be kind enough to elaborate on your statement that I have quoted, above?  I fear I don't understand the difference between sycning to MobileMe and subscribing to iCloud.
    I am about to make my first change to my Address book and am unsure where to make it:  on iCloud, my iMac, my MacBook, etc.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Bob

  • Address Book not syncing in iCloud

    I can't seem to get my address book on my Mac to sync in iCloud. Only new contacts that I add on my iphone 4s are uploaded to the cloud.  But I'd like it to backup all of my existing contacts as well. Any thoughts?

    similar issue here. i'm running iphone 4 and snow leopard and the syncing between the two devices is fine. but contacts in icloud have not updated to include new contacts made on SL (despite appearing on iphoen and therefore should be in icloud?
    any help would be great. thanks

  • Address book not syncing to iCloud

    I recently upgraded to Lion 10.7.2, but my contacts aren't syncing from iCloud into the address book.  I've gone to system preferences, enabled iCloud and selected contacts.  It doesn't take, and so when I go back to the preference window, it's back to being unchecked.  In AB, there are no groups visible and I can't add an iCloud account there, either.  The contacts are present in iCloud on the web interface.  Calendars also seem to be working fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Address Book not synching on icloud

    Computer at work (iMac) has new Address Book entry, not seen on computer at home (Mac Pro).  Both running 10.7.4 with iCloud updated and Address Book checked.

  • New iPad air. books not downloading from iCloud

    I had quite a few books on Ipad 2. Just bought ipad air and after clicking backup from icloud only a few of my books are readable. When I click on them it says formatted incorrectly or is not a format that ibooks can open. Any ideas anyone?

    Reset your WiFi router and/or cable modem. Unplug it/them from power for about 30 seconds and then plug them in again. The I would restart the iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Why are some of my contact photos address book not uploading to iCloud contact

    I have added some new contact photos to my address book in my powerbook but it absolutely refuses to upload to the icloud and hence my iphone and iPad.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi MoLovin,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's photos not displaying in the correct order, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Address book not syncing from mac to iphone

    Even though at one time my Macbook Pro was syncing fine with iphone. Now there seems to be a problem with no changes being made.

    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Calendar not updating from iCloud

    My iPhone is version 4 with IOS 5. I turned on iCloud and all worked well to start with. Suddenly the calendar stopped updating and has not done so since. I have tried a complete reset with no improvement. Has anyone else had that problem?

    Have you tried looking in settings/notifications at where Calendar is listed it might be moved into 'Not in Notification Center' apps don't know why. I had this happen with another app.
    Hope this helps

  • Calendar in Mavericks not updating from iCloud

    Just installed Mavericks yesterday on my MBP (Early 2011).  Still running 10.8 on my Mac Pro.  Entered a calendar event yesterday on the Mac Pro.  Shows up on my iPad and iPhone, both running iOS 7.0.2.  Doesnt show up on the MacBook Pro (Mavericks).  In System Preferences->iCloud, I turned OFF calendars, then turrned back on.  Still nothing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
