ICloud Documents Not Deleting / Syncing

My iCloud Documents and Date information has been corrupted or something.
Basically, I open Pages or Keynote on my iPhone or iPad and with iCloud sync enabled it grabs 2 documents no longer stored in iCloud (at least visible through iCloud.com or the Lion System Preference). This wouldn't be as big of a problem except it shows the progress bar and nothing happens.
Upon trying to create new documents in either of these apps a small arrow icon appears in the corner but again no syncing actually occurs.
I've tried:
-reinstalling Pages and Keynote
-restoring my iPad
-deleting MobileDocuments folder in Lion
-deleting documents out of the preference pane
Nothing works. The data seems to be in limbo somewhere between my iOS devices and the server and now I can't sync any documents.
Apple needs to fix iCloud Documents. Everything else is working as advertised but the Documents / Data portion is awful.
And add sync to the Mac while they're at it...
Please help if you can!

I'm having the same issue with IOS 5.01 iCloud documents. At first, everything worked fine and flawlessly between Pages, Numbers and Keynote on my ipad, iphone and macbook. I recently purchased an ipad2 and iphone 4s, along with a new Macbook air. I could no longer download items on icloud.com (on any computer). Pages documents were mysteriously disappearing and some documents would not load on my ipad. I also had the 'updating 21 documents' with a status bar that didn't move for 8 hours on my ipad. I tried everything: deleted apps, toggled iCloud on and off, logged in and out, restoring all devices, moving to a blazing fast 50MBPS internet connection, and even tried to launch a shoe at the closest cloud I could find outside. None of these efforts succeeded. The Genius Bar and express iCloud support were confused and told me that my incident was isolated. I'm glad I came on here and saw this. Ironically; Contacts, Calendar and Find my phone work perfectly, no problems. Lastly, none of my apps are syncing properly with iCloud either; flighttracker, Soundhound, Djay and iBird. Weird. At one point all of this worked for about a week. Sadly, I ended my genius appointment with 'I think Apple is starting to become like Microsoft'. Sad day. I hope a fix is soon, if anything Apple should give those of us that purchased iphone/ipad iWork software a reimbursement. Its a lousy product and is pretty much useless until this issue is fixed.

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)

ICloud Documents not syncing to Mac

Hi
I have just recently completed a fresh install of Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro. Everything is working fine, apart from iCloud documents on not syncing to my Mac. Everything else on iCloud is syncing (Mail, Calender, Reminders etc...) just not; Pages, Numbers and Preview.
I have tried ticking and unticking the Documents and Data tab in iCloud system preferences, but this has not helped. When I look at the "Mobile Documents" folder in ~Library, the file structure is there but no files.
Has anyone got any ideas on what might be the problem?
Many Thanks
James

Save as many documents as you can to your desktop from iCloud.com or from the iCloud document panel in the appropriate Applications.
Turn off document syncing on every device.
On your mobile devices make sure document syncing is turned off not only in the iCloud settings, but also in the settings for each app.
Check the apps on your mobile devices no longer have any documents in them.
On your computer go to system preferences > iCloud > manage and delete any documents you see in your iCloud storage.
Restart all devices.
Re-enable document syncing device by device, ensuring that syncing is working properly before re-enabling syncing on the next device.

ICloud documents not showing up in iCloud

Using Pages I have a number of documents that just don't show up on any of my iCloud devices (including iCloud from my Mac, when I click Open and go to iCloud they aren't there). I have tried duplicating the files and saving them to iCloud but they still don't appear. Any new documents that are saved into iCloud are saved properly, but this group of older files have been heavily enough formatted that copying and pasting would be a pain. I have saved all the old files under a similar tag. They all appear in Finder under the tag and the file path even shows them as located in iCloud, but that is the only way I can locate them.
Any help would be appreciated...

If you haven't already tried, you might try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Documents & Data, restart your Mac then go back and check Documents & Data again. If this doesn't help, you might need to try resetting the iCloud Documents & Data service as explained here: iCloud: Resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

HT4847 How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of iCloud but not delete it?

How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of icloud and onto my own storage device? I don't want to delete it, I just don't want to keep it in iCloud

Unfortunately you do not have direct access to iOS backs in iCloud.
I am not sure what you mean by:
It's locked with an enterprise (third party code)
Do you mean it is a corporate device and managed by Mobile Device Management software?
If so the IT department can reset the passcode.
Other than that, there is no third party iOS app that can lock the device at that level unless it is jailbroken and then no one here can help you.

Files Not Deleting - Sync Says content Still present. Please Halp!

Using a PC
Im trying to make some space on my ipad. Have deleted all music, as well as all my podcasts. When I got to the music screen it clearly shows all my albums are cloud based. Yet on my sync summary screen it shows almost 3 gigs of space being used by music and 76 songs present. Same for audio... What gives? the files are not beign redownloaded when I sync so where are these songs being stored and how do I remove them?
ALSO
I've also copied all my photos off my ipad, I''ve even moved them to different folders so they do not reload when I sync. yet when I open the photos app there are several folders full of images still there and accessible. What gives? how do I ensure these images download to my PC and then remove them?
Yes I have turned photo stream off. No it is not syncing these images from my computer.

Hello Nitin,
Attached is a screenshot. As you can see:
1. Cloud says I have 19.42GB used.
2. My archive is empty.
3. My CreativeCloud folder only has 1.85GB
Also, on a side note, I am using the simplified chinese version of osx, and you notice the CC folder has incorrect ascii charas after the folder, which I can't change at all. I assume that was supposed to be simplified chinese characters. I liked it better when adobe just kept it to English in the Preview ver. Please remove that in a future update. Thank you.

ICloud tabs not working / syncing

I have an iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Both now run iOS 6. iCloud tabs are not working on either device (I just see the cloud icon). I did work throu the troubleshooting (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372) but no joy. Anyone see this..?

I have an iPhone 4S and an ipad3, both updated to iOS 6. The icloud tab on the ipad doesn't show anything. The icloud bookmarks on the iPhone are showing open tabs from my ipad, but funny thing is...those tabs are no longer open. I've turned off icloud on both devices repeatedly, turned off and on both devices as directed in troubleshooting...still have same result. Very little info on this issue. Spent WAY too much time trying every conceivable solution. Only thing I haven't tried is a total reset of the ipad. I'm trying to be patient and see if there is something simple I'm missing. HELP!

TS4002 icloud is not deleting emails from iphone, ipad,when deleted on imac

i have enabled icloud on my ipad, icloud, and imac.
when i delete an email on one device, it reamins on the other two and has to be deleted manually.
all devices have the latest updates, and i have version 10.8.2 loaded on my imac, and version 6 on my ipad and ipad.

If you delete an item off of one of your devices, do you see it being deleted at icloud.com?
All devices are using the same apple id? All devices have the proper items checked off in their respective preferences?

CRM_ORDER_DELETE does not delete salesorders with follow-up documents

Hi All,
in my CRM 5.2 i have to delte many sales orders exchanged in past from R/3 to CRM via middleware.
There is report CRM_ORDER_DELETE to delete sales document filtering with transacion type and sales order code, and it is ok;
but the problem is all the sales orders that have one or more follow-up documents (visbile in CRMD_ORDER transaction) are not deleted by the program and the message is as follow:
The following document could not be deleted:                 8101167607
Object ORDERADM_I cannot be deleted
Number of documents deleted:                                      0
Number of documents not deleted:                                1
How can I delete them ?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi
you should in first iteration delete last documents from documents' flows,
and later your sales orders.
You cannot delete documents that are in the middle or beginning of doc flow.

ICloud set up deleted all emails in Entourage

When I set up iCloud, everything in my Entourage was deleted, including emails, contacts, calendar... I had my contacts and calendar synced with the corresponding Apple programs, so they are showing up in my iCloud (tho it appears some of my calendar entries did not transfer). However, my emails have completely disappeared! Any suggestions to get them back? Unfortunately, my Time Machine was not configured (stupid, I know.... I'm a tech idiot and the Apple store One on One set up help apparently didn't think it necessary to mention/set that up... now I know too late). Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help...

Warning to anyone moving their .mac account to iCloud. DON'T. I did it and have just discovered it has wiped every email I ever sent or received from my .mac account because it defaults to delete them after one month. Not something apple tell you in their iCloud promotional literature. When the iCloud icon appears in your mail preferences make sure you set it to delete 'Sent', 'Trash' and 'Junk' never otherwise in the words of the mac engineer I spoke to 'it's all wiped...'
And this is (of course) incorrect, iCloud does not delete your mail after a month.

Can not delete i cloud id with out pass word i see the same problem in the postings i guess there is no fix for the problem

changed apple id now i can not get in to icloud can not delet it with with out old password. i read several posting on the same problem but no fix i guess apple cant fix it.

Hello catfish17,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you changed your Apple ID and are trying to log into iCloud with your new Apple ID.
It sounds like you are trying to follow these steps to change your logged in Apple ID, but you do not have the password for the old Apple ID:
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

I recommend following the steps in the article below to reset your Apple ID password for your previous Apple ID:

When I delete an email from my hotmail account in the 'mail' application on my MacBook Pro, it is not deleted from the same 'mail' application on my iPhone 4s which my hotmail account has also been added. I thought my emails were synced over iCloud?

It is so frustrating because I cannot understand what is wrong. When I add an event to my calender on my iPhone it appears in my calender on my MacBook which is perfect and very convenient. The same thing occurs with reminders; everything syncs perfectly here. However when I delete an email from my MacBook from the 'mail' appliaction it doesn't delete from the same built-in application on my iPhone. This is extremely frustrating as I have to delete the same email twice on two different devices. I'd appreciate any feedback that would help resolve this problem!

Calendars (and contacts) can "sync" between your MBP and your iPhone through iCloud because they really live on the iCloud servers and the two devices are clients. iCloud can accomplish much the same trick for email messages because the email really resides on iCloud email servers.
If the email resides on some other server, that server is responsible for whatever syncing will be done. IMAP servers like the iCloud servers are built for such syncing; other mail servers may or may not be. iCloud would not be involved with email other than iCloud email.
I understand Hotmail has been changing how their email servers are accessed. Check with Hotmail support for any changes you may need to make to keep up.

I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either. I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too. is there anyway to recover these documents?

On a mac, when you save docs to icloud, a local copy is also saved. It's saved at:
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
If the file(s) are no longer there, then use your Time Machine backups to get copies back to the mac.

Ts. It is in iCloud, but not in Yahoo. My iCloud Contacts had way more contacts, so I turned of contacts on my IPad and deleted them. I turned it back on and they were supposed to Sync.

I am trying to send an email. The contact is not in my list of Yahoo contacts. It is in iCloud, but not in Yahoo. My iCloud Contacts had way more contacts, so I turned off contacts on my IPad and deleted them. I turned it back on and they were supposed to Sync.
Please Help Me....

No. Change the passwords for all acounts used on the iPod.
