Icloud is not working

icloud is not working

As I said, it doesn't actually tell me anywhere how to backup using iCloud. I was under the impression that the stuff i had selected was all being automatically backed-up without any intervention by me.
But no. Having now received extra storage, I checked to see how much my documents, photographs, etc had taken up already, only to find that only my Mail (and probably not all of that) has been backed up.
In typical Apple fashion, there are no written instructions anywhere for iCloud (and I did look for them a year ago, when my account was migrated). Like MobileMe, it seems to be load of hype with little substance.
So, am I expected to drag stuff across or upload documents to the cloud, like I do very easily with Dropbox? Or is it actually automatic, as I had been led to believe? Any advice or a pointer to the guidance would be gratefully received.

  • Icloud is not working on my macbook pro

    icloud is not working on my macbook pro and works on both my ipad and my iphone. Not sure why this is, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    Yes it has been turned on in system preferences. I've even signed out & signed back in to trouble shoot & the problem still exists. The problem is — while browsing in Safari, I'll hit the iCloud tab on my MacBook Pro & it will be blank, showing nothing opened on the other devices. Then I'll check the other device sitting next to me & they have web pages opened & their iCloud works. Not sure what is wrong, prob need to call Apple...

  • ICloud will not work. Error upon PC Boot Entry Point sqlite3_wall_checkpoint could not be located. How do I fix?

    iCloud will not work on my PC.  When I boot my PC I get an error saying, "The Procedure Entry Point sqlite3_wall_checkpoint in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll".  How do I fix this?

    I'd first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel, dc. Does that clear the message up?

  • ICloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

    iCloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

    I can see the acknowledgement that this issue will be fixed in the 'next' software update. Considering the original post was for an iPad 2 running 5.0.1, I am not sure if this issue on iOS 5.1 which runs on my new iPad (4G) is considered fixed. As I reported in my previous post it is impossible to update individual tracks. I also tried adding entire collection to a single playlist, shuffling the playlist. While shuffle is in progress, turning to the 'list' view that allows tracks to be rated does who the currently shuffled playlist and the currently playing track and assigns the rating to the track correctly. However, as soon as the second track plays, switching to list view (which displays the ratings) lists only the tracks from the currently playing track's album. Which is insane IMHO.
    So, was this not fixed with 5.1 update? Or the iOS 5.1 will get it's own piece of update on this?

  • Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work

    Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work.  I could click on buttons for Reminders, Notes, etc. and would take me into ICloud to share with other devices. No longer functions.

    Hi:
    I can't help you with why your PC won't upgrade to W8.1, but I can tell you that if you manage to get W8.1 to install, you won't be able to get the graphics to work anymore.
    There is no W8.1 driver for the graphics setup in your PC.
    So maybe it is a good thing that you can't get it to work. 

  • App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9 using a proxy server

    App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9. these problems are interrelated I am sure. Apple apps were working fine in 10.8.5 I could do software updates through a proxy server using password authentication. I reinstalled a new system 10.9 on another partition and it won't let me use Safari or update software using a proxy server. Firefox works fine (I am using it to post). I am very disappointed that this wasn not fully tested BEFORE releasing Mavericks. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this problem myself.
    Checked the system log with Console, and I found the entry:-
    Nov 11 11:16:41 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
    For some unknown reason, Mavericks seems to be looking in the System keychain, when these credentials are actually held in the Login keychain.
    So, I tried "Copy & Paste"  - copying the https user name & password from the Login keychain and pasting into the System keychain, which worked but it's not quite as straightforward as I initially thought.
    Pasting into the System Keychain was, I found a not-very-intuitive process:
    Having opened your Login Keychain, click once on the item to be copied and when it's highlighted, select "Copy" from the Edit menu or, of course, cmd+c.
    Select the System Keychain:- DO NOT CLICK THE PADLOCK IN THE TOP LEFT TO UNLOCK IT.
    From the Edit menu, select "Paste" or cmd+v.
    You will then get a dialogue box,, enter your administrator's password and select "Modify Keychain" or just hit return, as it's the default entry.
    I found a restart was in order before it recognised everything and would accept https pages without alert boxes, but YMMV.
    Funnily enough - and this is where it seems counter-intuitive, if you do click on the padlock and unlock the System Keychain, "Paste" is greyed out in the Edit menu and cmd+v has no effect.
    Exactly the opposite to what I'd expect..

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

    iCloud mail not working. I can send but cannot receive. Is the system down?

    Same here. I can send mails from iCloud.com Webmail, but cannot receive.
    A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
    its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address
    failed:

  • I changed My apple ID and now my iCloud is not working

    I recently changed my Apple ID and now iCloud does not recognize it and keeps asking for my old password which does not work. How do I switch all of my accounts to this new Apple ID?

    Did you change the email address associated with an existing account, or did you create an entirely new account?

  • ICloud sync not working with BBQ10

    Hello.
    Having recently swapped my iPhone 5 to BBQ10 I have been hit by an enormous amount of hassle. The main thing being the ability to sync my contacts and calender from my Mac on to the Q10.
    I have followed the online instructions and it is not working. All I get is a white screen where something tries to load and nothing happens. I can't delete the account because then the white screen comes back with the loading logo. Then I have to reinstall the entire phone and start all over again. What am I doing wrong? I have the latest firware on the Q10 along with the latest Mac OS (10.8.4)
    I am not a pure amateur but everything was really easy on the iPhone 5. It's a shame, I really want this to work but the Q10 is giving me no joy whatsover at the moment.
    Please help!

  • Icloud is not working on my mac

    Hi, Im having problems with my icloud - my mac will not play the music I have uploaded. This is the first time it has happened, and I have used icloud for months (maybe a year now). Any help ?

    Same here in the UK.  I have no access to my music in iCloud from iMac, MacbookPro, iPhone5 and iPad(3).
    All OS's are up to date. I can access iTunes and download new music from there.
    iCloud Backup is working on the iPhone but much slower than usual.

  • ICloud is not working in iphoto, iCloud is not working in iphoto

    Hi,
    I am having difficulties with installing iCloud 9.5.1. on my iMac from 2007. I have updated all operating systems, but still iPhoto is not working properly. The main reason why I wanted to upgrade from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto 9.5 is the iCloud feature. So all my pictures taken with my iPhone are synced to my iMac. Here lies the problem, I cannot check the iCloud box in the preferences of the installed iPhoto 9.5.1 Neither can I check the option to use iCloud under the iCloud tab in the iPhoto overview.
    I have reinstalled iPhoto several times, cleaned it from the OS via CleanMyMac, but still is not working.
    I used to use an WD external harddrive as my library, but not anymore. Maybe there is still a hidden path somewhere in my computer referring to that old location? I have made a new local library on my iMac, but also this did not resolve the problem.
    I can import pictures from a local folder, or iPhone to the newly installed iPhoto. Although this takes quite some time, this part of the program seems to work.
    Anybody some good advice? I don't know anymore where to find the problem.
    Many thanks in advance!

    I cannot check the iCloud box in the preferences of the installed iPhoto 9.5.1 Neither can I check the option to use iCloud under the iCloud tab in the iPhoto overview.
    You do no say how the System Preferences "iCloud" options are set.
    Have you clicked the "Options" button besides Photos in the System Preferences iCloud and enabled  "My Photo Stream"?
    You have upgraded to MacOS X 10.9.3, if you are using iPhoto 9.5.1, right?

  • ICloud is not working and still mobile me conflicting with icloud on lion

    I am really starting to lose faith in Apple ever since I got this icloud problem on my macbook pro.. Everytime when I do something with icloud, it kept asking my old mobile me account and saying 'mobile me' services are no longer available.. how can I totally wipe out old mobile me from my macbook pro and running only with icloud?? Also why my Pages is not syncing with icloud or there is no option to upload?? Although I activated 'icloud' from my system preference, I cannot  find 'mobile document' folder anywhere on my mac?? Someone could help me??

    I am in Belgium: same problem since this morning. My email sometimes works, then stops working again and this on all devices + browser access to icloud.com. I called Apple support (based in the Netherlands it seems). I was told they are aware of the problem and asked me "for a few days patience". A FEW DAYS? In what century is Apple expecting us to live? Is that the kind of support Apple expects us to accept for a PAID service? Unfortunately it is not the first time me.com or now icloud.com does not work as it should. Every time I call support I get the same answer "it should work again soon". What is even more annoying is to read on the Apple web site the statement that all services are running fine! On what planet? It is really sad that Apple does not even recognize there is a problem. Apple customers are loyal but Apple inc needs to learn there are also limits to loyalty. If I am supposed to use my icloud account for business communications then I should be able to rely on that service. Being offline for days is not an option. Wake up Apple inc.!
