Icloud doesnt sync anything

My wife bought an ipad 3 and has a iphone 4
I setup an icloudaccount for her ..
NOTHING syncs.
yes icloud is turned on on all devices
yes photostream is turned on all devices
yes wifiis turned on on all devices
yes battery is above 20%
yes we are logged in to wifi and account
Unlike the proganda a photo taken on her iphone does not show up on her pad or on the pc. Also a photo taken with her pad does not show up on her phone
How doyou get icloud tosync photos between her phone pad and
desktop?
I thought apple products where supposed to work? Been at this for 5 days.

Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Windows 8.1 and icloud doesnt sync photos

Just installed icloud to my windows 8.1 laptop and it doesnt sync photos at all with my air2 (8.1.2). I have tried to sign in, out, middle, top, bottom, front, behind or whatever... Changed compatibility to Win7 etc. Turned off/on icloud sync/photos/streams/etc. I dont see those pics (added to icloud folder from my pc) in icloud.com either. It's only showing pics from my air2 but it doesnt even sync them with my pc.
Is this icloud a joke, or am i missing something?

What I have tried so far:
A possible solution (didnt work for me):
1. logget out from icloud (in win8)
2. Went to c - users - *current user* - AppData - Roaming - Apple computer -> Create a folder called "MediaStream" (it didnt exist).
it didnt work.
Tried this again, but now deleting all files from the existing "MediaStream" folder. And then logged back to iCloud. (Didnt work.)
Another possible solution (didnt work either):
1. tried to change permission for iCloud photos (unchecked the tap "read only")
Finally just another possible solution (didnt work either):
1. unchecked Photos from iCloud control panel
2. Logged out from iCloud.
3. Created a new folder c:\Photostream
4. Logged back to iCloud and change the Photos location to that newly created folder "Photostream"
AND the funniest part - I dont see "My photo stream" photos in iCloud (web/ipad) BUT they are somewhere becauce they come to my iCloud in my computer when i open iCloud (even if i have deleted it and remains (files/folders) from the pc and installed it back)... There is 31 photos on somewhere which dont exist in iCloud (web or ipad).

Hey Mlynch13,
Thanks for the question, and amazing troubleshooting so far. There are a few things we can attempt on your computer, including restarting the Apple Mobile Device Support, and checking for the USB drivers:

ICloud not syncing existing data?

I have setup iCloud on my ipad, iphone. Why is it not syncing any of my stuff? Example.... My iphone has all my contacts, ipad doesnt yet. after iCloud was setup, my ipad STILL did not grab anything from my phone, ie..contacts, calender, etc. BUT if I add a contact or create a new to do on my ical they will all sync. Does iCloud not sync existing data??

same issue, looks like nobody answered you from last JULY....

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:

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

It is not Mac to Mac.
Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

ICloud contacts sync questions

Since I got an iPhone and followed the advice of the salesman at the Apple store, essentially to "Turn everything on" in iCloud, things have gotten hopelessly confused.
Both Address Book and Calendar now have seperate, (almost) duplicate sets of entries, titled "On my Mac" and "ICloud". Making an entry in one place does not necessarily mean that it will show up in the other.
I want to keep a local copy of everything on all my devices, and I want them all to be the same.
I want to have a way to compare both lists and see what differences there are so I can reconcile them.
I have never had this problem with my old Android phone and my Google account!
Please, someone explain how "On my Mac" and "Icloud" interact and how I can get them properly synchronized. I'm afraid to do anything at this point for fear of losing all my information!
TIA
Walt

Only data listed under 'iCloud' can sync - in fact it isn't actually syncing as such, because the data lives on the server and is read from there by your Mac and devices.
Data listed under 'On My Mac' is, as it says, on your Mac and is not connected to iCloud: therefore this data cannot be seen on the iCloud website or on other devices signed into iCloud.
The intention is that all your data should be kept on iCloud in order to facilitate syncin, and that you should not keep data listed under 'On My Mac'.

Syncing Ringtones without syncing anything else

I got my iPhone and my iPad right before iOS 5 came out, and have been syncing primarily via iCloud and not via iTunes. Anytime I try to sync anything via iTunes I end up losing data or ending up with duplicate data. I like to deal with my devices without having to use any PC. But I got a ringtone app, and found this great ringtone....but apparently I have to sync my ringtones on iTunes to actually get it onto my phone. Can I sync just ringtones on iTunes....without anything else, such as apps or music...syncing as well?
Regards,
Lisa

Try doing the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on you computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing"
Authorize your computer or all Apple IDs used to purchase media on your phone from either the iTunes or App store by going to iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer
Connect your phone, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar, right-click on the name of your phone and select Transfer Purchases (this will transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library)
Right-click on the name of your phone again and select Backup (this will back up your phone without syncing)
Review your sync settings on the various tabs to the right (Summary, Info, Music, etc.) and select what you want to sync. If you are syncing contacts and/or calendars on the Info tab you will need to enter at least one contact and one calendar event into the program you are syncing these with prior to syncing your phone.
On the Tones tab check Sync Tones, and make sure you have checked the ringtone(s) in your library that you want to sync to your phone.
Sync your phone. Your iTunes media may be erased from your phone (including your apps), but since they have now been transferred to your iTunes library they will simply be synced back to your phone.
After syncing you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices ang re-enable automatic syncing.

ICloud not Syncing Documents/App Data

I got an iPhone 5s this morning, and had previously updated my iPad and iPhone 4S to iOS 7 two days ago. I've noticed today that iCloud seems to not be syncing properly for me. Day One, which uses iCloud for syncing data, perpetually tries to upload from the iOS device but doesn't seem to be reaching the server. Similarly, when I create an entry on one of the two Macs that I sync with iCloud they do not appear on one another. Furthermore, when loading Pages in iOS on the new phone, I don't see any of my documents. I see many of them on the Mac, which I assume are locally cached. I've turned off Document syncing and turned it back on, and have restarted all devices a number of times. Is there anything I can do besides wait for Apple to straighten itself out? Is anyone else having a similar problem?

The previous account was not a MobileMe account prior. Also, it has been syncing perfectly fine for the past two years with Mountain Lion, Lion and iOS 5 up.
As far as getting the data from when I got to counter the other it's not a simple task. You have to make sure you go into each of your apps that currently use documents in the cloud and turn off documents in the cloud for each of the apps. This way, when you remove the iCloud account from settings but it will not remove the associated data from each of the apps. In other words, before you remove the old iCloud account, by turning off documents in the cloud for each of the individual apps The data contained in iCloud documents should be converted into local data within each application. Then after you delete the account and sign in using the new iCloud account go back into each of these applications and turn iCloud syncing back on. This will force the app to move the now local data into the new iCloud accounts document sync sandbox.
The thing to be particularly careful about is making sure that the applications that use documents in the cloud are no longer set up to do so before you remove the old I cannot account. Because when you remove the old I cannot account it will delete all associated documents in the cloud from the device. However, if you have already turned off documents on a per app basis the data contained in iCloud will have already been moved into the local sandbox.
As an added safety measure I would first try to export the data in anyway possible for each of the applications. If the application offers some way of getting your data out of it such as emailing a backup archive make sure and perform this routine as an added safety measure.

My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

What I had to was backup my device's data to either iCloud or iTunes. Once it was backed up I erased all of my settings as if my iPad just came out of the box. You set it up again and it will asked you to either start as new, back up from iTunes, or back up from ICloud. If you want to see if everything works you can set up as new, otherwise just pick the choice depending on where you backed up your information. Eventually it will restore all of your information and your iMessage and FaceTime should be working. It worked for me, if you'd like more/better instructions let me know!!

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.
