ICloud iCal sync Issue: Only iPad has correct nfo

Of the four places (desktop, browser, iPhone, iPad) where my iCal is viewable I only have the proper info on the iPad. I have toggled the iCal On/Off in the preferences pane of both MBP and iPhone to no good outcome. How do I get the iPad's correct info to populate across the other devices. This annoying developement is recent and inexplicable, I have had no major system / software issues, all other aspects of iCloud are working properly. I have most recent software on all iOS devices and 10.7.4 on the MBP. Used to be there was a prompt asking how you wanted MobileMe to merge info... is it just me or was MobileMe more granular (like being able to reset sync history) and conceptually more understandable? Anyway I'd greatly appreciate any leads, I've come up empty on this forum and the other mac forums.

Fixed it. In case anybody else has this issue or simular. uncheck the calendar option in the icloud prefs, then check it back on. A little to simple.

Ical sync issue: only one way

I had installed the ios 5 on my iphone and the updates for my macbook pro for icloud they synced up fine. I just added my imac to the mix and I'm having issues with the syncing. If I place an event on my macbook it will push to the other devices (iphone & imac), however the events (old and new) that are on my Imac won't push to the other devices.
The ical on my Imac has been my parent calendar so it has the major events I want to sync.
Im not sure why its just one way? can anybody offer some advice

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.

How to reverse iCloud/iCal sync fiasco?

I can't reverse iCal to not sync with iCloud. Installed new OS and tried (and hated) iCloud for calendar data. How do I restore old settings and keep the iCloud from messing w my iCal? I would prefer iCal data only on my MacBook, but can't seem to go back, or to delete the iCloud/ICal sync settings.

I've been having the same issue, but I think I've figured it out.
Select a calendar from the list, go File > Export > Export... (not "iCal Archive...", just "Export..."), and save the file. Do this for all your calendars, then disable iCloud, and open each of your calendars with iCal, always selecting "New Calendar" as the destination.
I know, it's time-consuming, and maybe there's a more elegant way, but it works.

Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD

Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD and not everything else on my iphone etc?

On the iPod turn off iCloud for calender, contacts and other things (Settings>iCloud) and turn off automatic downloading for apps and books (Settings>Store).
Aldso go to Settings Messages and Facetime and add her own email calling/messaging address and delete the Apple ID calling/messaging address.

Ical syncing issues with iphone/imac after lion OS update.

Hi All,
I upgraded to lion and now have two issues with syncing my iphone and ipad to my imac.
First issue is that calander entries created on the iphone/ipad do not appear in the imac calander after syncing.
Second issue is that if I change an calander entry on my imac, the old entry and the new entry will show up on my iphone. For example. I created an event and accidently clicked out of it before changing the name. I then reopened that entry and changed the name and date. In my imac ical calender I only had one entry at the final date with the correct name. When I synced my iphone and ipad however two events showed up on the iphone and ipad. The original "new event", and the event with the correct name and date.
The same thing happened when I had the same event occuring for 5 days, I manual copied the one event five times on the one day and then dragged them to the correct days in ical on my imac. When I synced my iphone I had both the 5 entries on the one day, as well as the entries on the days I had dragged them to.
In summary, now when I look at my calander in ical on my imac it looks great, but on my iphone it has all these extra entries. It is as though when it syncs it shows me all of my previous entries and changes, instead of the actual current calander.
Any thoughts how I can get the imac and iphone icals to look the same?
and in case you were wondering, I dont use Icloud. I did set it up and turned it off after the duplicate entry problem that everyone has mentioned. I dont have that duplicate entry issue anymore.
Thanks
Adrian

From what your write, it is a little hard to tell, what exactly your problem is, though you may want to try the following, which helped me at time:
step one:
export all of your calendars one by one, including the one with entries giving you problems
step two:
erase all of your calendars and create a dummy character, check if syncing works with that one.
reimport the previously exported calendars one by one, redoing the syncing routines.
In the instances I had problems, I found that exporting and reimporting a calendar file usually did away with the problem
Also, at least on my machines, turning on the birthday link to address book, created some problems, so you might want to try without that feature too.
If you got everything working on one machine, another strategy can be to reinitiate syncing from that one, i.e. erase and reinstall the syncing process on the others. Just make sure you have an up to date back up of your entries.

Icloud not syncing calendar with ipad

My 2 iphones have synced the calendars to icloud but my ipad 2 does not get the calendars from icloud to it. How do I do this???

I also had this problem, with syncing calendar events from my iPhone to my Mac. If I added an event on the iPhone itself, the event never showed up on either of my Mac's iCals. The reminders did not sync in that direction either. The only way to get an event to show up everywhere was to sit there and copy it off of my iPhone into my Mac when I'm sitting at the Mac. I did not realize this until I missed an appointment.
But I figured out how to fix it in my situation - looks like just another aspect of a sloppy rollout of iCloud. Once you have switched to iCloud, the iPhone now has a strictly local calendar, called "Calendar" by default. It also has another calendar with the same name "Calendar," except that one is an iCloud calendar that syncs, and is the same as your old MobileMe default Calendar. You will see this if you tap the "Calendars" button at the top of your iPhone's iCal display, which allows you to change which calendars are viewable.
But when you enter an event in iPhone, post-iCloud, the pulldown to select which calendar will contain the event defaults to the non-syncing "Calendar," because Apple has listed the local duplicate Calendar first in the hierarchy. This looked absolutely identical in the pulldown to my regular fully-functional Calendar except for a very slight difference in the color of the bubble, so I did not notice, and I can't imagine most people would notice that they're now entering all their events in an impostor "Calendar" which is basically non-functional. (What possible use is a calendar that doesn't sync to anything?) I finally noticed this when I was preparing to post the issue, and I noticed that my other two calendars (named "Diary" and "Exercise") had apparently been syncing both ways just fine. When I decided to post a new event to all three of my calendars at once, to do the test, that's when I noticed the imposter "Calendar" was overriding my Calendar of the same name. The reason events had been syncing when I entered them into the Mac, but not vice-versa, was that iCloud did not create a similar local-only Calendar in the Mac iCal app.
So to avoid having to pull down and choose the real Calendar each time I enter an event, I made the fake Calendar unviewable. (you do this in the Calendars button of iCal, not in Settings.) It is remarkably stupid to cause a rollout to change everyone's default calendar from syncing to local, without them having a ghost of a clue. Even if there might be some use for such a silly-seeming feature, it should be enabled only by conscious choice and not through a rollout.
Hope this works for you too. I assume the steps would be the same for an iPad.

Sync Issue between iPad & Macbook Pro

Ok so here is the issue...
My iCloud settings have been enabled for both the Macbook Pro and my iPad2 for everything except for mail and photostream. I mainly need iCloud for my iCalendar Calendars and documents through Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
For example, my Macbook Pro says I have 4 contacts, yet my iPad has a couplw dozen. I've backed up the iPad2 yet the Macbook dosn't change at all. I've recently a convert from PC's and don't know much about the Mac OS yet so I'm hoping someone can help the newbie out!

For example, my Macbook Pro says I have 4 contacts, yet my iPad has a couplw dozen. I've backed up the iPad2 yet the Macbook dosn't change at all.
On the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts then reselect then restart your Mac. You can do this from the Apple menu.
(You can open System Prerferences from your Apple menu (top left in your screen), or from the Dock or from your Applications folder)
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Hopefully your Contacts will sync as they should now.

ICal Sync Issue

I have a Macbook Pro running OS Leopard. I have IPhone 4S and IPAD2, both running latest IOS 5. Any event I enter in ICAL in my Macbook shows up in my IOS devices. However, what's in the calendars in my IOS devices will not sync to my Macbook. I tried a solution I found at http://askville.amazon.com/iphone-ical-sync/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=15018816 but this did not do anything. Appreciate any help anyone can provide.

I had the same issue. Resetting the sync history didn't fix it. I switched to syncing only a single, brand new calendar that wasn't published to an external server. This worked. . I then exported my main calendar and imported it to this new calendar. Everything still worked.
I then added in all my other calendars. All of these are subscribed calendars (read only), and I had about 7 of them plus the iCal generated Birthdays calendar. This worked too.
Finally, I switched iTunes to sync "All Calendars" and published the new main calendar I created in the first step to my home server. At this point things broke again...items created on the iPhone wouldn't sync. I removed "All Calendars" and manually selected every calendar in the list (so it's the same data now, but if I add a new calendar it won't automatically sync). This got things working again.
I'm not sure if that would have done it the first time, but it has fixed things now.

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.

Everything ive done on my iphone toad needs syncing to both ipad anfd mac. To much work to lose
Please help anyone
Heres a screenshot of the mac trying to load

Go to the Apple menu >> system preferences >> icloud. Make sure you're logged in with the same apple ID as you are on the other two devices. If you're already signed in, you can click on Account details to verify that.
Then, make sure you have safari checked off in the icloud preferences. If you already do, uncheck them for a minute or so. Then recheck them.
See if that helps.

HT4236 Is there a way to limit how many photos and songs iCloud will sync to my iPad... it is always full and I'd like to set a limit. Thanks!

i'm very frustrated with iPhoto please help...

Are you using iTunes Match or syncing through iTunes on a computer? I do not use iTunes Match but it is relatively easy to maintain content on an iOS device through it's sync settings in iTunes. iCloud itself does not manage content on an iOS device but adding on the paid iTunes Match will only manage music. For the most part iCloud just keeps certain data, such as Notes, Contacts, Calendars..., in sync between iOS devices and/or computer.
To manage Music and Photos syncing from your computer connect the iPad to the computer and open iTunes. Click the iPad's, or Device button in the top right section of iTunes. You will see the the different media categories along the top where you can select Photos to manage what iPhoto syncs.
There is also many options in the Music and Video tabs to customize the media syncing to the iPad. It is generally best to create playlists in iTunes and sync selected playlists to manage a large music library.

ICloud/IMAP Sync Issues

I'm running into a syncing problem with iCloud and IMAP clients. I am on Windows 7 and I've replicated this problem on multiple computers and multiple E-Mail clients (Windows Mail, Outlook 2010, Thunderbird).
When I make folder changes using the iCloud.com website the changes do not get reflected to any of the above mentioned mail clients using the IMAP protocol. The folders still display but cannot be edited/deleted - the error returned is "The server responded NONEXISTENT." If the server does not believe that these folders do not exist, why are they being pushed to my client? The deleted folders do not show up under subscription lists. Has anyone else run across this issue?
Someone has the exact same problem I do, explained here...

I have two imap email accounts configured. One is my personal email on my personal domain and another is my business email. For business we don't use exchange so I configure everything manually. Entering the email and password on the add account screen doesn't work. I've noticed a general slowness since 1.3.1 and I've also noticed that if I have a bunch of messages on the server and for some reason the phone hasn't synched in a while, it stops synching until i remove and then reconfigure the account. Any other ideas?

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your iPad restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup to make a manual backup
