ICloud inbox not syncing to iMac running Yosemite

This problem started when I was running the Yosemite beta (on a separate drive); my iCloud (mac.com address) e-mail would sync fine on the Yosemite beta, but nothing from the inbox would appear on Mavericks unless I was on the computer at the time the mail arrived. Everything showed up fine on my iOS devices, my Macbook Air running Mavericks and the Yosemite beta mail.
Upgraded to Yosemite hoping the problem would be fixed, but it's not. Nothing in my Mail inbox will sync from iCloud down to my iMac. Everything's there that's in folders, everything shows up on all my other devices, and if new mail comes while I'm on my iMac and Mail is open it will show up. But any other mail in my iCloud inbox will NEVER show up on my iMac. I've tried everything, mostly more than once: turning account on and off; deleting account and setting up again; removing certain files from the Library-Mail-V2 folder (though I might have missed the correct ones I guess) but nothing works.
This makes Mail completely useless to me as the iMac is my main computer and I get most of my e-mail to my mac.com account. The only solution I can think of now is to set it up to forward to one of my non-Apple accounts. Any other suggestions appreciated though.

Finally I had the idea to grab a Time Machine backup of my V2 folder, or parts of it, from before I installed the beta. This worked … sort of. I did get all my iCloud mail, but the problem persists. If my iMac is awake with Mail open, new mail from iCloud arrives, if it isn't, it doesn't. And NOTHING I have tried, and I've tried everything I could find and think of, solves this problem.

ICloud will not sync my contacts or calendar in Mac Office 2011. ICloud does however sync to my PC at work running Microsoft office 2010 and also to my IPad and IPhone. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately Office for Mac does not support the correct protocols to work with iCloud.

I have Lightroom 3 and have installed it on my Retina iMac running Yosemite. It will not show me any of the modules..error when attempting to change modules.. and keeps asking for my serial number every time. Is it compatible?

Hi, FaceTime on my mid 2011 iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2.

Hi, FaceTime on my mid 2011 iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have contacts some of which only show option for audio FaceTime, on my iPhone an iPad the same contacts are available for video. Anyone know why, I can video some contacts from my iMac - but not others. The contacts are all synced via iCloud and the audio FaceTime from the iMac works fine to them but the video option is greyed out. If I go to my iPhone or iPad - there they are all ready to receive video. Curious. Anyone have any ideas i have exhausted the web searching.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

Can I transfer my iWeb files to new iMac running Yosemite

I have recently purchased a new iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a set of iWeb files that I was working on but had not yet published as a website on my old iMac which is running OS X 10.5.8. Is it possible to transfer these files to the new mac? I can't find any iWork or iLife files in the Applications folder on my new mac.

Yes, you can transfer the files, but you will be unable to open them, because as you have found, new Macs have not shipped with iWeb installed on them for a long time now - iWeb as you may or may not know is very old software now that has not been sold or supported by Apple for at least 3 years.
The only other way that you will be able to get iWeb onto your new Mac is buy a copy of iLife 11 or iLife 09, both of which contained the final version of iWeb - which is iWeb 09. You would need to purchase this from Amazon. You could try an old installation CD that came with your other Mac if you still have it and you could try installing iWeb onto your new iMac from that, but if it does not work, then you'll have to buy a copy of iLife 11 or 09 from Amazon.
Your other alternatives of course are to find some new web creation software that is supported or you continue to use iWeb on your old Mac and just update and publish your sites from that machine.
In the end though, it might just be easier to bite the bullet and move onto some new software and re-build you site with that.
Software that is worth taking a look at is RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb. Then don't forget all the online website builders that you have, that are slightly different, such as WordPress.com, Wix.com and others.
Other alternatives are then the Content Management Systems such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.org.
I would suggest that you take a look at EverWeb first though - it is very much like the iWeb interface and can do a lot more than iWeb could out of the box, such as contact forms included, SEO included, drop down menus, master pages, support for PayPal with widgets and lots more.
Take and look and you can download a trial version before you buy.
There are lots of different options available to you, but ultimately, if you want to continue using iWeb on your new Mac, then you'll have to buy iLife form Amazon. Time to move on perhaps?!!

HT4759 iCloud does not back up iMac HD...seems crazy why not...Appl passing up money for backing-up Mac's?

iCloud does not back up iMac HD...seems crazy why not...Appl passing up money for backing-up Mac's? What is the best Cloud back-up solution and can a Cloud Clone be made?

I had a problem where it would not backup any more. Some of the diagnostics that they had me do were:
1. Repair Disk on the TM drive
2. Try backing up by clicking/holding the TM Icon and choose Backup Now
If failed:
3. Reboot Leopard
4. Try step 2 again
If Failed:
5. Disk Utility repair permissions
6. Try step 2 again
If Failed:
7. Log out and login as administrator
8. Launch Console from the Utilities Folder
9. In the System Log Search for "Time Machine"
10. Use that to help figure out problems and call Apple Care

ICloud is not syncing photos

iCloud is not syncing photos from phone to ipad? When I login to icloud.com there is no Photo folder?? I read somewhere that you must close camera on iphone for photos to sync, have been doing that, but that's not doing it now.

Photo stream photos are uploaded when the camera app is closed, the device is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining. Also, only photos added to the camera roll after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos. If those conditions were met and the photos are still not uploading, try turning photo stream off, then back on. Before turning it off, if you have any photo stream photos on it that are older than 30 days and are no longer in the camera roll, save them to the camera roll or you will lose them. (Open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll.)

My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

iCloud will not sycn a calendar from an external source. In order to use iCloud to sync it, you would have to move it to iCloud and stop using Google. I know how to do that on a Mac, but I'm not sure how to do it on a PC. If you're using Outlook, I suspect you export it as an .ics file to your desktop, then import it to the iCloud account in Outlook. I'm sure you could use Google to find the specific steps.
However, there's really no reason not to just use Google to sync your calendar across your devices. Instead, just continue to use Goole calendar on all your devices and they should stay in sync. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Jj0KFgbYI.

icloud is not on my imac os x version 10.6.8. It is not listed in preferences and isn't listed in Finder.

It won't be.
You need Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later to have iCloud in System Preferences. You'll have to upgrade.

ICloud calendar not syncing with Mac calendar

I deleted the default "all calendars" calendar from my iCloud calendar in a browser because it was the only way to solve a bizarre issue where I had 2 sets of every event from an extra calendar that I had subscribed to and then unsubscribed from in Google Calendars. After I fixed my Google calendar (deleted, re-imported) and re-subscribed to the Google calendar from my Mac calendar everything looks back to normal in my Mac calendar and on all my devices. HOWEVER...I can't get anything from the Mac calendar (which is getting its data from my Google calendar) to come back and repopulate the iCloud calendar viewed from a browser.
If I enter a new event in either the iCloud or the Mac calendars it appears in the other calendar within a minute, but all of the events that populated the Mac calendar when I imported my old google calendar to repopulate it have never migrated (unless I manually go to each event and change it from a gmail calendar event to an iCloud event in the Mac calendar).
Help! Any ideas??

iCloud will not sync your Google calendar. To get it into iCloud, you have to export it as an .ics file, then import that to an iCloud calendar on your Mac. See http://www.groovypost.com/howto/osx-lion-import-google-calendars-icloud/.

After downloading maverick, iCloud will not sync across my devices

Since downloading Maverick [10.9], iCloud will not sync across my devices. Mail is not working properly. I'm being asked for passwords from everything.
Also, every time I close and then reopen Mail, I get a message saying "Mail cannot connect to the iCloud account "iCloud", requiring my password, again!
Is there a solution to this? How can I find out if it's server related, etc.?
Thanks to anyone out there that can help!

Try restarting your router and all the other devices.
