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't sync photos between iPad and Mac OS X since updates

Just updated OS X and iTunes, now got message that "iTunes will no longer sync photos to iPad" - sounds like Apple is trying to force me to pay for iCloud photo sharing. Any way to avoid that? I loved the previous easy sync approach.

Have a look at this:

New Apple ID email has caused sync issues between iPad and iPhone

I changed the email of my Apple ID and made sure to save photos and delete old iCloud backups. The calendar noon get syncs but instead eats any new events. Photos from my iPad appear on my iphone but it doesn't work the other way around. Instead my iPad still has an iCloud photo album from my previous Apple ID email. I've made sure that my email is updated on both devices and that everything syncs to iCloud and has been recently backed up. I even deleted the new backups and did it again. I turned off photo steam and turned it back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One more detail, even in iTunes, I do not have photo albums being synced from my computer. I just have photo stream with iCloud.

I'm not sure what caused the issues but backing everything up and restoring both devices has fixed photo stream as well as notes/calendar icloud issues. It even syncs to my computer again! The icloud photo album from the old apple id email is also gone.

Syncing email between ipad and mac.

When I delete email messages on my ipad they stay on the mac. Can I set It up to delete on both devices?

It should delete them from your mac. Try checking for emails on both devices after deleting the email. That should work.

ICloud not pushing apps between iPad and iPhone what am I doing wrong

I have a new iPad2 and a new iPhone4. I put iOS5 on both of them. My understanding of this was when you purchased an app on one device it would push to your other devices. I did this and the apps do not push to my other device. I use the same Apple ID for both if that matters. I set up iCloud on both devices, turned everything "on" and created an @me account. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any help...feeling like an iDiot

I believe you are misunderstanding. You don't sync apps between iPad and iPhone, and iCloud has nothing to do with any of this. There is a setting in Settings -> Store where you can set each device to automatically download NEW apps, meaning that when you buy a new app on one device, the other automatically downloads it. However, this is for new downloads only.
For your existing apps, you can simply connect each device to your computer and move the desired apps to it in iTunes. Or you can go to the App Store and re-download those apps.

Is it possible to sync numbers between iPad and iPhone and mac

Is it possible to sync Numbers between iPhone and iPad and IMac. I work in a school and want to keep test scores for my class in the one place without having to manually update the spreadsheets each time I enter scores.
Thanks in advance
Conor

Yes, Numbers syncs (very well) via iCloud. You need to activate Numbers iCloud sync on all of your devices.
On the Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure Documents & Data is checked. Also click the Options... button next to Documents & Data and check Numbers.app.
On each iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > and turn on Numbers. Also go to Settings > Numbers and turn on Use iCloud.
After you've got things working, it's best to close down the Numbers document on one device before you use it on another.

Here's how to sync your Notes between iPad and Mac

This is not immediately obvious and took me several conversations with various AppleCare techs before I finally got the solution as to why my notes on my iPad where not syncing to my Mac Pro. The problem seems to be that you can't sync if you only have Notes on your iPad. You must have notes on your Mac to which unlike Calendar and Contacts don't have corresponding standalone applications, iCal and Addressbook, respectively. Notes exist within Mac Mail. I only had Notes on my iPad and none on my Mac Pro. In this event here's what to do to get setup and syncing:
SETUP:
1. Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked although, syncing via the cloud apparently won't happen until iOS 4.2.
2. With Mac Mail launched, if you've never created a note in Mac Mail, in the left column you should see:
MAILBOXES
ON MY MAC
RSS
or if you've created some notes on your Mac Mail, you'll see:
MAILBOXES
REMINDER
- Notes
ON MY MAC
RSS
The key is you have to have REMINDERS created. So if you don't have it created, when you sync your iPad and Mac, the iPad doesn't know what to do as there's no "receptacle" for it's notes on your Mac.
So in Mail, in the top of the window create a new Note, click the notepad icon to the right of the New Message.
Now REMINDERS will be created in Mail's left column with this new note. You can simply put "Test" or whatever and click "Done" in the upper left of the Note's window.
3. Plug your iPad into your Mac, in iTunes, in the left column click your iPad under DEVICES the Info tab in the top. At the bottom of the page is "Other" > click: Sync notes. Do NOT click the checkbox "Notes" in the next section under "Advanced"
4. Click "Apply" at the bottom of the page and your iPad and Mac will begin to sync. It may take awhile as I believe it is doing both a sync and backup.
Once this process is done, you'll see your notes fully sync'd on your iPad and Mac. Yea! but there's more...
5. Notes created in Mac Mail show up in 2 places: your MAILBOXES > Inbox and under REMINDERS > Notes, and if you delete the Mac Mail note in your inbox, it deletes the note in your REMINDERS.
This is unfortunate and not great interface design IMHO and should be remedied.
Luckily the last Tier 2 AppleCare tech I just spoke with had a workaround for this, which is:
6. Create a new mailbox inside Notes under REMINDERS. Click Notes, then go to Mailbox > New Mailbox... in the top of your monitor screen.
Under the location pulldown it should show a notepad icon and On My Mac.
For the Name, I called my new mailbox "iPad Notes" Then click OK.
Then a triangle appears next to Notes mailbox to access this new subfolder (iPad Notes) and you then drag your now sync'd notes from Notes under REMINDERS to your "iPad Notes" subfolder under Notes. Now your left column will look like:
MAILBOXES
REMINDERS
-Notes
--iPad Notes
ON MY MAC
RSS
Doing this drag to "iPad Notes" will remove the note(s) from your inbox, but keep it in your REMINDERS and thus be available for Syncing, which currently can only be done with your iPad when plugged in via USB to your Mac.
Apparently, in iOS 4.2, you'll be able to use MobileMe to sync Notes just like Calendar and Contacts. We'll see.
I hope this is helpful. It took me awhile to get all this set up, and being that I am not an AppleCare tech, if you have questions instead of asking me, I recommend you call AppleCare and review with them. Let them know I got the above info from Tier 2 support.
Once iOS 4.2 and Lion come out, all this may, hopefully be a simpler process, but as of this writing, pre 4.2 and Lion, this is now working on my iPad and Mac Pro.
Good Luck.
Steven

Thanks ,,, but when I "Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked"
I CANNOT check the "Notes". It is NOT highlighted. MAYBE because I am NOT logged-in to mail.mac.com?
Is this why my Sync Notes between MacBook Pro and iPAD 2 does NOT work?
How do I fix it?
Also I continue to get Error Message "smtp.mail.com" password not accepted.
I DO NOT know my mail.mac.com password.

How do i sync emails between iPad and Macbook Pro

I have the iiPad2 with WiFi. I remember that I used iSync in the past between my Macbook and desktop unit. I also am signed up with me.com. Can anybody please advise me what's the best way to sync my emails? I use Apple's mail program. Thanks.

iSync has never synced email or anything between Macs.
To sync email you need to set your account up as IMAP (not POP3) on your iPad and Mac.
If you are using your MobileMe email address and have configured your MobileMe account on both Mac and iPad, then your email is automatically in sync.

Syncing notes between iPad and a MacBook with Lion OSX

I cannot sync notes manually between iPad and MacBook - I could do that with Snow Leopard by creating a subfolder in Notes and keeping my Notes in that subfolder. This doesn't work with Lion OSx - any ideas out there

I would prefer MobileMe but have not been able to use that to sync notes. So - I use itunes and check "Sync notes" under Other in the Info tab

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.

Ical sync issue between Iphone and Ipad

I seem to be having issues syncing events between my Iphone to my Ipad. icloud is enabled on both and it appears that all the calendars are enabled for syncing. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I'm having this issue as well. I have tried the add new account as was mentioned in other posts (going through the Advanced settings and changing the server location), but it appears that I would be duplicating accounts, and "that is not supported". I also am having issues with alerts not going to me, but to my husband (who has a google.com email). When I check the Address Book to see what the main contact card is, it shows my information, yet I am not receiving alerts and my email is not an option to select. When I changed my Apple Id, he received the confirmation email (as did I). What do I need to do to: 1) get alerts to come to me and not my husband and 2) sync my iCal with macbook, iPhone, and iPad? Thanks!

ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
Any clues?

Syncing Issues between Ipad 2 and MacBook Pro

When we sync our ipad with our macbook pro we get over 100 errors for songs that won't sync to the ipad. These are all songs we have purchased on itunes or downloaded from cd's. Anyone encounter this before and have a suggestion on how to fix this?
Thanks

The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.
