ICloud Drive - can no longer back sync. with other devices.

I had to back up and restore my iPad mini last night to get rid of 2.5g of "Other". During the restore it upgraded to IOS 8 (there was no option no to). I was asked if I wanted to upgrade to iCloud Drive. There was nothing there telling me that if I did, I would no longer be able to have all my devices synced. I can no longer sync. with my Mac (Mavericks) or my iPhone 4s. I cannot afford to upgrade my phone, so I am now stuck with no synced photos, notes, calendar or anything else. This is not really good enough. There should be a warning there!

Ok, I tries using the command line mount_webdav command. It didn't seem to work. I got no error messages, but no volumes were mounted.
I tried connecting to another (non-iDisk) web folder at bingodisk.com. This worked fine on my desktop, it doesn't work on the MacBook. This seems to confirm that this is a basic Finder webdav issue, not iDisk specific.
I looked through the system preferences to try to find any appropriate *.plist files to remove/reset. I tried removing
/Library/Prefernences/Network/com.apple.DotMacNotifications.plist
/Library/Prefernences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
but this didn't do anything. Any ideas on what setting file might influence the Finder's webdav functionality?
If I try to do a iDisk sync in the Finder, the console give me the same message as when I tried to directly mount another person's public iDisk

I wonder which file it is trying to access here and failing??

  • MacBook Pro won't sync with other devices

    My MacBook pro won't sync with other devices in the house.  My iPad and iPhone sync OK but MacBook won't for some reason.  Can you help?

    Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
    Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

  • TS3988 My ipad don't sync with other devices

    My ipad don't sync with other devices. It works in my iPhone, IMac. At iCloud web page is ok also, but not in my IPad. The settings are the same in both my IPhone and my IPad.

    Make sure you are using the same Send & Recieve address on the iPAa as you are using on the iPhone (and that it is an address registered with your AppleID).

  • Getting a cloud symbol with a ! in it for certain Pages files saved to icloud drive; unable to pull them up on other devices

    In the last few days when I save a Pages document to the iCloud drive and list the contents of the drive it shows a cloud symbol with an ! in it and a bar in the size column.  The document shows up on another device with a line along the bottom, but it can't be opened in the new device.

  • Can no longer connect wirelessly with other computers

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Air.  For some reason I can no longer connect wirelessly between the two. They don't show up in Finder.  Therefore I can't use "Remote Disk" on my Macbook Air to install programs.
    Recently I switched from using an Airport router to a Cisco router. Could this be the problem? I can still connect to the internet through my wireless network, but can't find my computers.

    Hello,
    All the information you need is printed on the back of the Hub. There are two passwords, one for the Wireless setting (WPA password) and one for access to the hub (Admin password).
    (Taken from http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/images3/newhubpswd.jpg  ).
    If you have forgotten what you changed the admin password to, then I'm afraid you're lost and you should factory reset your Hub:

  • If I update one device to ios8 can I share numbers spreadsheets with other devices on ios7 and mavericks?

    (I posted this in the Numbers forum but didn't get answers, I hope someone in this forum has the answer. Should be straightforward.)
    I'm not yet ready to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS8 or my computer to Yosemite, but I would like to upgrade my iPad 3.
    I have several Numbers spreadsheets that I modify on any of these devices and expect to see the new document on any of the others within a few minutes.
    I have seen the warnings not to upgrade to iCloud Drive, and I'm cool with that, since I don't use iCloud on the web browser. But if I simply avoid iCloud Drive is that sufficient? Will I be able to continue syncing my documents among the three devices as before? This note on Apple's Developer pages seems to indicate it may not work:
    Document-Related Data Migration
    The iCloud infrastructure is more robust and reliable when documents and data are transferred between user devices and the server. When a user installs iOS 8 and logs into the device with an iCloud account, the iCloud server performs a one-time migration of the documents and data in that user’s account. This migration involves copying the documents and data to a new version of the app’s container directory. The new container is accessible only to devices running iOS 8 or OS X v10.10. Devices running older operating systems can continue to access to the original container, but changes made in that container do not appear in the new container and changes made in the new container do not appear in the original container.
    In other words, I might be able to see the document on my iOS8 device but if I make any changes to it I won't be able to see them on the other devices. I'd like to know from someone who has actually tried this whether it will work or not.
    Thanks.

    Normal "documents in the cloud" syncing should still continue between devices running iOS 8 and devices running iOS 7 and Macs running Mavericks (or earlier) as long as you do not enable iCloud Drive on your iOS 8 device(s).  As mentioned in the support document, migration to iCloud Drive breaks breaks documents in the cloud syncing as iCloud drive is a completely different system.  (For a time I was running iOS 8 on my iOS devices without iCloud Drive enabled and had no problems syncing iWork documents between them just as they did when running iOS 7.)

  • IPhone 6 not syncing with other devices or shared calendar, reminders etc. using same Apple ID on all devices. Any ideas?

    I have just bought a new iPhone 6 and updated it from the cloud with no issues (contacts all there as well as calendars that I have set up previously, for example) but have noticed that it will not sync to new content on my iPad or MacBook or vice versa, it is now like a stand alone device. Also, shared calendars set up by somebody else don't appear and I can't share a reminders list. I am signed in using my Apple ID, the same as I am on my other devices (which all still sync with each other as normal) but it is as if the iPhone is not on the same account. I have updated my iPad to IOS 8 with no issues so probably not an iOS problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I trek into town to see a genius?

    Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space.  What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
    Settings >iCloud
    Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device.  You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
    Mail
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Safari
    Notes
    Passbook
    Photo Stream
    Documents & Data
    Find My iPhone
    If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space. 
    Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized. 
    To put phone in recovery mode:  Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time.  Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button.  Plug your phone into iTunes.  Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

  • Notes won't sync with other devices

    No problems sharing notes, calendar entries, and contacts info until just recently.  Now the Notes app on my MacBook Pro will not connect with the iCloud.  My other devices, iMac, iPhone, and iPad, all communicate with each other with the cloud, but not the MacBook.  When I open Notes in the MacBook it says "updating" forever.  Also, when running the Mail Connection Doctor everything connects ok except for iCloud IMAP.  The details posted are
    INITIATING CONNECTION Mar 09 20:32:55.268 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:p02-imap.mail.me.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x6000002c83b0 -- thread:0x60000146a000
    CONNECTED Mar 09 20:32:55.410 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:p02-imap.mail.me.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x6000002c83b0 -- thread:0x60000146a000
    Now, Calendar and Contacts communicate to and from the MacBook through iCloud ok, but still not Notes.  Driving me nuts.  Any ideas? 

    Notes syncing uses IMAP.  Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Notes, choose Delete from Mac (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.
    If that doesn't help, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in.  (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac but not from iCloud.  Your data will download back to your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • Macbook mail not syncing with other devices after Maverick

    After downloading Maverick on my macbook as well as on my imac, the mail on my macbook is not syncing with my other devices.  My imac, iphone, and ipad are working and syncing as before downloading Maverick, but the mail in my macbook is not working properly.  I have already done all current updates, any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    Please disregard this post.  I've found the answer to my own question! 

  • Can you share specific apps with other devices under same Apple ID?  ...or do you need to enable he sharing of all apps that have been downloaded under that ID?

    My family has multiple devices under one apple ID.  I want to share only certain apps with certain family members.  Is it possible to limit what apps are shared with which devices or do I need to share all of the apps that I download for personal use?

    Thanks.  I turned off the automatic downloads on the new devices (minis), but when I go into the app store I don't see any of the apps I have bought (for my original iPad) under "purchased".  I was thinking that this was the logical place to find those apps that I want to download to the new devices.  What am aI missing?

  • Is my router and school's network making imessage fall out of sync with other devices?

    Hi,
    I'm having issues with iMessage and other iCloud services syncing properly between my iPhone, iPad and Mac, which are running the most up to date versions of their OS's
    This issue happens when I'm living in my school's residence. I have my own router (D-Link DIR-601) hooked up to the ethernet jack on my wall and I'm thinking that things like iMessage are having trouble finding my devices because these services are going through the internet and then through two networks that have two different sets of rules (ex: firewall, NAT)?
    I think that's the issue, because when I'm at home for summer and holidays iCloud services work perfectly fine on my home network.

    Could be.  If your school's router is handling the DHCP service, make sure you don't try to enable DHCP on your router too.  If that's the case you would want to disable DHCP on your router so it operates as a wireless access point.

  • Can I share my iPod with other devices using a USB *Switch*?

    Hello
    I'm trying to design a set up that will allow me to share my iPod with my PS3, Xbox 360, and G4 Powerbook. I only need to use one sharing device at a time.
    As of now I plan to have my 30Gb iPod Video, a USB Keyboard, and USB Mouse, running through a Belkin USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub. The hub will plug into a 4-way manual USB switch. (allowing me switch between the PS3, 360, and G4 devices)
    My goal is to easily switch and stream content to any device from my iPod, as well as provide the switched device with instant access to the Keyboard and mouse plugged into the hub. Hopefully the hub will also be able to power the ipod and and charge a bluetooth headset as well.
    I'd like to know if anyone has experience with a similar setup, and more specifically if there are any reasons why this wouldn't work properly?
    My main worry is that there is no way to eject the iPod on the Xbox 360 or the PS3. So if I switched the USB port while the iPod is reading "Do Not Disconnect", do I risk corrupting the data or otherwise harm the iPod?
    Any help would be appreciated, please let me know if I should clarify any details.
    Thanks in advance.

  • My iPod touch won't pair with other devices

    While trying to pair with another iPod device using Bluetooth the device said " sherry's device not supported" how do I fix this problem so I can b able o pair with other devices.? Help please

    An iPod can pair to an iPhone for tethering to the phones internet connection if the phone is subscribed to the optional tethering data plan. An iPod can also pair with another iPod (and iDevice) via app that allow peer-to-peer pairing.  That is mainly for gaming.  See the following for more information on BT:

    Hello joelfromn. charleston,
    It seems you are unable to activate iMessage on a device with no carrier service. The following article provides information regarding activation issues:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Check your device settings
    Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
    Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set up correctly.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Bobby_D
