Icloud document sync broken on one account

I hope the community has found a solution to this...
i have two different icloud accounts. One, my main account, has 20gb of storage, and is my email address. The other, has 5gb, and was opened to test this issue.
when i use the first icloud account and attempt to sync certain application (instacast is the main culprit), the program reports that the program is unable to get data from sync services. when i go into the icloud area and serch for the paritcular document, the ipad/iphone both report, that the program isn't storing data on the icloud account.
when i use the second icloud account and attempt to sync instacast. it works as expected, and sync's across my iOS devices with ease. it does fail from time to time, however, the built-in reset feature does a decent job of fixing the sync issues. else, going into the icloud panel in settings, shows the program storing one document, which is easy to delete, and sync starts to work once again.
i'm guessing that the first account which continues to fail has soemthing stuck somewhere. i've tried to examine the folder on my MBP entitled "mobile documents" within the library, but much to my discontentment, the folder doesnt exist despite my attempts find it or create it.
what gives? is there anyway to purge icloud document sync on my main account?

Your question is about *.Mac Sync*, not iSync. iSync only syncs to mobile phones and PDAs, not Mac-to-Mac.
The *.Mac Sync* forum is here:

  • I have an iTunes account with music. My wife has an iTunes account with apps. How do I get both on our iPad2? Without syncing to just one account?

    I have an iTunes with music and videos. My wife has an iPhone with music and apps. How do I get both on our iPad2?
    Without syncing to just one account?
    We each have our own laptops.

    Hmm.
    Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
    Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
    And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
    Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
    So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad?

  • HT204053 iCloud document sync being strange

    I'm having an issue with icloud documents.  I have 10.8.2 mac software, the iphone 5, and an ipad 2 (both of which are on the latest ios).  They're all synced to the same @me.com account, so the documents should be showing up correctly in Pages.  What's weird is that all three are showing different sets of documents!
    I've attempted to simply copy the ones I want and delete the rest, turning all of the syncs off so that I can manage it through the website iCloud/iWorks so I can get them all back to working order.  In iWorks, I've deleted everything.  When I go back into iWorks... they're still there, undeleted!  What's even stranger, if I hit refresh, it'll go between two different sets of documents (one that was on my ipad, one that was on my iphone).
    How do I reset documents so that I can simply start over?  This is rediculous!
    Thanks!

    It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection.  I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site.  I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
    Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts.  iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

  • How can I use iCloud to sync to just my account on my iMac and not to my husband's account?

    I have an iMac using OS X 10.7.5.  I have separate accounts for myself and my husband.  I also have an iPhone and an iPad.  How do I get iCloud to sync my account with my iPad and iPhone without syncing with my husband's account on the iMac?

    If you are  using the same AppleID you cannot, just create seperate AppleID's and you should be OK.

  • Syncing apps from one account to another

    I am using a new itunes account how to get old apps from my first account to sync to new account so it uses new account when i want to update them??
    please help

    As long as you have the password and your mum's permission you can authorise your computer for both accounts. Updating apps from the two accounts is a bit fiddly as you have to sign out of one account and then into the other, but it is doable. If your mum doesn't use iTunes you should also set the payment method on her account to none so you don't accidentally purchase anything through her account in future.

  • ICloud calendar syncing working only one direction. help

    I'm using iCloud to sync with my calendar.  However, I can only see the events that I post using my laptop.  I can't see the appointments I create directly from my iPhone.  Can anyone help me figure this out?

    You don't say what version of Outlook you are using, but see if this article helps: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/synchronize-outlook-and-apple-iph one-or-ipod-touch-contacts-HA010266802.aspx

  • ICloud Not Syncing Properly on One Device

    So I have an iPad, iPhone, iMac, and Macbook Pro.
    I use iCloud syncing for one program, Notability and for whatever reason, things do not get synced to the Macbook Pro. In order to retrieve all the documents in the cloud, I have to uncheck 'iCloud Drive' in System Preferences and then recheck it. (Also of note is that the reading list in Safari does not sync properly, but contacts does). This only happens with the Macbook Pro. I have tried signing in and out of iCloud but it occurs again. I am using the same e-mail address with all devices. Anybody have any clue what could be the issue?

    It's important to realise that there is only one copy of your Contacts and Calendars, it lives at iCloud.com and your devices (all of them) get the same thing. If your calendars are gone from iCloud.com you're going to need a backup copy.
    ? Do the calendars exist on any device? Do you backup your Mac?
    On each device verify the iCloud calendar and contacts are set as the default (if you do not have any accounts other than iCloud this does not apply)
    iTunes likewise has one Library, the iTunes library, quite separate from any iCloud connection. Again, you should keep a backup of it. You can download all tunes purchased from iTunes whenever you want, if you use iTunes Match you can download all the music in your iTunes library regardless of how it got there.
    In iTunes, ensure that 'Show Music in the Cloud' is checked. (View Menu)

  • Icloud document sync issue between ipad and mac

    So was very excited when mountain lion could sync my spreadsheets (numbers) documents with my iPad, but having a weird issue (I think).
    So I took one of my spreadsheets from my Mac, and moved to iCloud. Opened it up in Numbers (Mac), made a few changes, and saved it.
    Now I go on my iPad, I see it. I open it up - great.
    Now for some reason, I have a duplicate spreadsheets named 'Untitled'. I have no idea how it got there, I am not sure what happens if I delete it (or if I should).
    Anybody know whats up with this?
    Thanks -

    When you place a document into iCloud from your Mac and then try to open it on a mobile device, you will be given the option of opening the original document or opening a copy. It sounds to me that you have chosen to open a copy.

  • Can iCloud documents stay in sync in the background on iOS devices?

    Hi everyone.
    I've been using iCloud document syncing for a few years and now I feel a little bit puzzled.
    My DayOne app on iPhone & iPad only start downloading entries after I launch the app. Is it true that I have to open the app for iCloud documents to start syncing? Or is it supposed to sync in the background (periodically or pushed) and that I just do not get it work?
    The same goes for my Readdle Documents app. Everything starts syncing when the app is open and active. Is that the way iCloud document should work?
    (I am running iOS 7.1 on iPhone 5 & iPad 3, OS X 10.9.2 on MBA 2013; iCloud documents set to ACTIVE on all devices; background apps are all turned ON for both iPhone & iPad.)
    Thanks.
    -Teng

    Many thanks to @randers4
    Just can't believe Apple do not sync docs in the background (still do not after 3 years)

  • Does iCloud Documents work with FileVault 2? I am having problems with synchronisation of documents.

    I am having problems wirh iCloud document sync.  I am wondering if it has anything to do with have FileVault 2 switched on on one of my MacBooks (and not on the others) or whether it is a network problem. Most of the time I am connected to the internet via O2 WiFi so I wondered if anyone else was having iCloud Document Sync problems on O2 WiFi.
    All my iWork docs on the mac and on my iOS devices, OSX and iOS are up to date.

    I find the older v1.7.2 has many fewer bugs than the newer V2.0 or 2.0.1.
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • My partner and I have now both got an apple mac we share the same itunes account but want to use different icloud id's so that I dont get all her documents sync to my computer... is this possible?

    my partner has an ipad and i have a mac book pro... we share the same itunes account (apple id) but believe we can have a seperate apple id for use of the icloud... we do not want each others documents to be in sync with ipad and mac book... help? thanks

    Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
    Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

  • I have two apple ids somehow, probably from two mobile and two computers - how do I merge them into one account so they all work with iCloud?

    Somewhere, somehow, between two mobile and two macs, I ended up with two apple ids. I figured that this was the root of my problem to syncing. So, I am syncing Mail, Contacts, etc through the one account that I bought storage on this year in iCloud. I want to merge the two accounts, since many of my apps were purchased with my other id. Apparently, Keynote will not merge files since the app was bought with the second id, not the id I am using for icloud.
    What to do??? I read, in the forums, that I am definitely not alone. I always had the id I used for the Apple Store to buy iTunes items, and then apps. The other id, that I am using for iCloud was based on my iDisk id, and apparently I set up as a separate account. The much failed iDisk account appears to be the one that I wish I never got involved with. Should I feel the same way about iCloud. If I cannot merge the two APPLE accounts from the same person (ME!!!), then many dropbox really is the answer for my file sharing needs.
    Please help me decide.

    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    To go back to your question; you cannot merge accounts, but perhaps using one account for iCloud and the other for iTunes will resolve the majority of the reasons you needed to merge to begin with.
