Icloud is not updating

I have signed out. Erased all files from computer and rebooted. The files on the icloud at the same as Dec 11th. On my other computer they are updated.  There has to be a way of forcing an icloud sync.  This is ridiculous. I have wasted two hours that I do not have on this..... Ah no, now they have updated. So the only way to update icloud is to sign out and reboot all the files. Isn't this a bit silly?

Sorry for the rushed tone but I am in a hurry and I really needed those files. And lo! they were not there! What good is icloud if it doesn't update? Why not just keep everything on a hard drive as in days of yor? And to get the files to update a complete reboot is necessary.

  • ICloud is not updating my iMac desktop.  Laptop, iPad and iPhone are fine but the desktop remains static.

    iCloud is not updating my desktop with new iCal and Contacts updates.  How do I get the information to download from iCloud to this device?
    The desktop is OS X 10.7.5.  My MacBook Air is OS X10.8.  iPad and iPhone are iOS6.  My Apple ID on the OS devices is different from the 2 computers in that they use a .me address.  Thanks to anyone who can help.

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • ICloud calendar not updating

    Hi all, hope someone can help an old Mac user who's lost in the cloud ... iCloud that is.  My freelance work life requires I keep iCalendar and Address book updated constantly. However, entries I make on my home Mac are not showing up on the on the iCloud website, a major problem. I don't understand why they are not updating. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    I'm here because I'm having problems, too, but as a suggestion can you change your iCloud ID to match your Apple ID or set up a new iCloud ID that matches?  Believe me, I'm no expert here; just a thought.

  • HT4865 my apple ID changed but my icloud did not update with the info - how do i get icloud to use my new apple ID

    We updated our Apple ID's with our new email and home address etc... with no issues.  But.....icloud won't update and I can't figure out how to edit it.  It shows the old Apple ID info. 

    We also changed email address, deleted account and added new one in.  I thought everything was working, calenders, photo stream, contracts.  Then when I went to email a photo from the photo library that had been streamed in through old email address, It showed Icloud still sending from old address with no way to change it.  I'm afraid if I delete the account and try to add it in again, I Cloud wont let me; or I will have to chnge everything again (nightmare)  This is on an IMac.

  • ICloud will not update on Window 7 machine

    For several months, iCloud updates will not install.  I get a 2343 error on my Windows 7 machine.  The iTunes updates work if I download and manually install.  This is not the case with iCloud.  I used the MS Fixit without success.  Can someone assist?

    Same problems here!

  • Icloud account not updating

    I have three devices - PC, iphone and ipad2.  Only the PC reflects the correct apple id in iCloud.  The other two keep asking for an old apple id password.  What do I do about this?  I thought they would sync but that's not working.  Now iCloud will recognize my iPad but not the iPhone - it says it is offline.  What is the problem.  All have the latest iTunes and I've managed to back them up to my PC. 
    I want to have the same Apple ID and password on all three, the iCloud id to match on all three as well.
    Thanks

    Okay I guess I'm getting a little confused with the use of current Apple ID... let me clarify, here's what happened...
    I had an Apple ID and password that iCloud used as well. They worked fine until someone hacked my email and I paniced that they would hack my Apple info since everything was closely tied together.  So I decided to change the Apple ID, email account and password in the same day.
    This morning I went to the Manage my account at the My Apple ID and changed both my Apple ID and apple password to entirely new ones.  I changed the Apple ID and password in iTunes on both my iPad and iPhone as well. 
    I then realized that the iCloud account on my PC was updated to the new Apple ID and password, but the iphone and ipad accounts were still showing my old information.  After repeatedly being told by my iPhone and iPad that either my Apple ID or password were incorrect I came here, searched for about two hours and finally posted this thread. 
    I don't know what else to do.
    I went back to Manage my account and changed my Apple ID back to the previous one and left my password as the new password - it didn't work. 
    Any suggestions?

  • Why are my icloud apps not updating?

    Whether or not my iCloud LISTS or CALENDARS update across all of my app devices they are supposed to is a hit or miss deal. Sometimes they do quickly, sometimes it takes forever, sometimes not at all. Why??

    Syncing hasn't worked for me for a couple of days now. It must be something on Apple's end.

  • ICloud does not update emails in Mail on my MacBook Pro unless Mail app is open

    Hi, looking for some advice
    Up to a few days ago whenever I started up Mail in my MacBook Pro the e-mails I had received on my iPhone/iPad were pushed through and were visible as read.
    Only now unless I have the MacBook runnig with the Mail app open they don't come through.
    I can force them to synce if I move the emails on my iphone into a different folder, then back to inbox, but only while the Mail app is running.
    It's annoying as one thing I like is being able to read the emails on my mobile devices then reply later from the MacBook when I get home.
    I did change my iCloud password recently but it is the same across all devices, I removed the iCloud account from mail and system prefs then added them back but no joy.
    I'm fairly sure it all started when I updated to iOS7 on the iPhone & iPad but cant be certain as I dont use the MacBook every day,
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks

    OK, I persevered and used the Rebuild mailbox option on Mail, actually had to do it twice, but now when I boot up and Mail opens all the previously received iCloud messages I've read on iPhone/iPad are pushed through.
    Back to normal...

  • Icloud settings not updating on devices

    i recently changed my email address and thus by doing so changed my username for apple but on my 3 devices the icloud setting still show my old email and because of this i cant update using icloud. ive changed and updated my accout information change everywhere else but i am unable to do so on my ipad, ipod and iphone. please help

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • ICloud has not updated my apple id

    I updated my email address/apple id but iCloud on my PC is still showing my old email address/apple id.  How can I make that change?

    My e-mail account was hacked and neither yahoo nor att could help me access the account to reset the password, we were all locked out by the hackers.  I had to create a new email address.  I edited my itunes account and icloud account on my laptop and macbook with the new email address.  However, when I tried to edit the account log in for icloud in our ipod touch settings, I couldn't do it. The keyboard was non-responsive to edits even though it gave me the option to edit.
    I finally took a chance and DELETED my icloud account from my ipod touch and re-registered it with our new email log in, it worked!  Finally, after a full day of frustration trying to deal with this, all of our devices are now synced with the correct account log in and password.  Why didn't the ipod tell me to do that in the first place instead of giving the option of editing the account log in?  Oh well.  Have a great day!
