ICloud Keychain Not Syncing At All

I have a Mac, iPad and iPhone. Everything was working at some point, but now nothing is. I have iCloud Keychain turned on on all devices, but they all appear to be operating as standalone devices. Nothing I save on any device is linking to any other device.
I have already tried:
1) Turning off iCloud Keychain on all devices and then turning it back on on one device and then following suit with the others. It will SOMETIMES send some info over, but it doesn't keep taking information in. Anything saved on a device after that point is not synced.
2) Reseting iCloud Keychain altogether. Starting fresh saves Nothing.
3) Factory reseting ALL my devices and starting from scratch entirely. No iCloud Backups to question or anything.
The only thing I haven't done is to create a brand new iCloud account and use that instead, but honestly...if I really have to do that to get this working, Apple is severely broken.
Anyone have any input?

My problem is one of my devices occasionally stops syncing (usually an iOS) stops syncing. I have to turn off iCloud Keychain, then reactivate it and things are fine from there. The problem is there is no indication of any kind that this problem has crept up. You just end up with a non-synchronized passwords or credit cards and realize everything is out of whack. Hopefully you didn’t do changes on the out-of-sync device because then you just have to pray that iCloud picks the correct dataset when merging upon reactivation.
I don’t seem to have any problems with any other iCloud sync, except of course for keyboard shortcuts, which have been breaking with every new release of iOS.
Bottom line is iCloud syncing is still very much broken, nearly 5 years after being introduced. Progress is being made, sure, but nowhere fast enough.

ICloud keychain not syncing on 1 (a Mac) of 4 devices

I am trying to enable iCloud keychain syncing on four devices: iMac, MacBook Air, iPhone 5s, iPad Air. All devices have the most current OS and are otherwise operating with no issues (including Internet connectivity).
The iCloud keychain on the MacBook Air is not syncing; passwords saved on the MBA do not sync "up" to iCloud, and passwords saved on any of the other three devices do not sync "down" to the MBA. The other three devices work as they should. The MBA is running 10.9.2 and all other aspects of iCloud work (e.g., contacts syncing, notes syncing). All devices are on the same iCloud account.
I have tried the following with no success:
1. Added/removed iCloud from the MBA (many times).
2. Checked/unchecked the "Keychain" item in Settings>iCloud (many times).
3. Keychain repair.
4. Various networks in multiple locations, both WiFi and wired.
5. The steps outlined in this Apple support document (multiple times): http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4644
6. Resetting Safari (multiple times).
7. Various other non-iCloud specific troubleshooting steps like emptying Trash and repairing disk permissions.
8. Deleting the Ubiquity folder in ~/Library/Application Support (figured it was worth a shot).
Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

That isn't an option, I can't see how to change the account associated with the iPad. In Setting->iCloud, if I tap Delete Account, it gives the dialogue "If you delete your account, all documents stored in iCloud will be deleted from this iPad." With buttons for Delete and Cancel only.
I'm ok with deleting from the iPad, because I've turned off the calendar, reminders etc. and kept them on the iPad. So I just want to be sure they don't get delete from iCloud.
And of course, we will stop being able to use the same contacts list, which was the main reason for using one iCloud account.

ICloud keychain not sync

My iCloud keychain doesn't sync on all my devices.
I've tried to fix my problem based on this Apple link Get help using iCloud Keychain - Apple Support before I post this question. I did turn off and on keychain on all devices many times with no luck.
The thing is I could get the first sync on any device if I approve with my security code but then it does not sync. By approving with another device, the keychain won't sync at all. With both way, my keychain won't get sync or update after the keychain is turned on.
Any idea how can I fix this problem?
I use Yosemite and iOS 8.1.1. Thank you.

Also, it seems if I turn off all of my devices, reset the keychain on one of them, populate it with passwords and credit cards, it syncs that data to every device I add afterwards. However, once I add one machine to the keychain, it stops adding new passwords to the icloud keychain and nothing new sync.

ICloud mail not syncing to all devices

Hi, For the past few days my iCloud Mail program has not been syncing/downloading my .mac mail properly between my apple devices (iPhone 4, iPad new, and MacBook pro). The iPhone is getting mail Pushed as normal, but the laptop and iPad have shown no new mail for days. I've tried everything listed on the support pages and few things found on other forums. And I've also found a number of forum posts about iCloud mail migrating to new servers and that this is causing interruptions.. I have no idea what to make of that, but currently I can only access my .mac account by checking my iPhone or going to the iCloud webpage in Safari nothing is downloading. Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi, I have the same problem. Its working fine on my iphone, ipad is OK, but iMac not syncing. My wifes account works fine though. [email protected] accounts.
Any help would be appreciated.

HT4489 Ever since the last update IOS5.1.1, calendar entries are not saved on Icloud, and would not sync on all I clould devices

After the last update of IOS5.1.1, all caledar entries are not saved on Icloud and thus not synced on all my Icloud devices, even though, spreadsheets are synced, photostream is working and contacts is syncing, only calendar items. Anybody has the same problem? Or a solution to this kind or problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Icloud not syncing with all devices?

Why is my iCloud not syncing with all my devices (pc, iPhone)? Help please, anyone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Can you please provide some more information about your problems.

My iCloud email does not sync to all my devices

My iCloud email (yes an @me address) does not sync to all my devices. My phone and mac sync perfectly, but my iPad never updates. If I have my mac and phone on the mail program and I archive an email it works instantly on both devices. However my iPad seems to be in the stone age. Even though I've archived all my mail and my inbox is empty on both my mac and phone my iPad still has a notification for 28 new emails going back to last week. Its like my iPad is completely seperate.

Like I said its seemless between my phone and mac. I can archive on my phone and it will immediately disappear from my iMac and vice versa. Its odd that it works on one iOS device and not another... And when I say my emails don't archive on my iPad I mean it shows the last 50 emails (because of my settings) from my inbox like I haven't already archived them already. So I have emails on my iPad from 9 days ago =\

ICloud not syncing on all devices

iCloud is not syncing any documents I make through pages, whether I create the document on my iPad, iPhone or my Macbook Air. It says it is syncing, but never does. I started a document earlier this week on my Mac and finished it on this last Friday, and only 2/3 of it is available on my other devices. I created a new document on my iPhone today and it is still syncing, or trying to.
Devices and computers have been restarted and checked. I have enough storage. I would think that I cloud is experiencing issues but Apple is showing green lights across the board.
Is anybody else experiencing any issues? or maybe have a solution?

To change the iCloud account you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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 iDevice 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.
If the old ID is not an earlier version of your new ID and your password is not accepted when you delete the account, you will have to contact the Apple account security team for assistance resetting the password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

ICloud Photo not syncing + High CPU process (Win 8.1 pro)

This is a new persistent issue with my iCloud and I can't figure out how to fix it permanently because I was able to fix it few days ago, but issues return back a day later! So here's the full story...
I just received a new (AWESOME!!) Surface Pro 3 i5 256 GB tablet with Windows 8.1 professional. I installed iCloud on it as well as iTunes and Quicktime (the basics isn't it?). When setting up my iCloud account first, everything sync up correctly but after a few days (3-4 days), I notice than my Surface tablet are becoming pretty hot and making some fan noise (common Surface issue) when I didn't use it really. So I checked for a high-CPU process and I noticed than "iCloud Photo Stream Downloader" are stuck at 30-35% CPU for an hours ago. Moreover at this point I realized than my photos are not syncing for a few days. I fix the high-CPU process by rebooting, but my photo are still not syncing at all and after a few minutes after reboot, the "downloader" process stuck back to 30-35% and still not syncing!
So I first try some of the workaround found on the internet like sign out iCloud app, then kill all iCloud related process and delete folder %appdata%/Apple/Mediastream and reboot and sign in... same thing... after a few minutes, high-CPU usage + not syncing! I try to "repair" iCloud installation... same thing (high CPU + not syncing)... I uninstalled iCloud + reinstalled... same thing!
I finally fix the situation by uninstalling ALL Apple related software (iTunes, iCloud, Quicktime, Apple Soft Upd, Apple Mobile Sup, Apple App Sup, Bonjour, etc) and thereafter deleting all "Apple_xxxx" folders in %appdata% and also remove all registry keys from the Windows Registry related to Apple. Reboot then reinstall iTunes first and then run "Apple Soft Upd" to install automatically iCloud + Quicktime... then reboot, sign in and then the photo finally sync this time and no high-CPU process!
But a days later... High CPU + Fan noise on the tablet... so checked and the god **** "iCloud Photo Downloader" are again stuck at 30-35% and no more photo sync (I saw the old photos, but not the last day's photo are not sync).
Anybody experience this situation and know how to fix it PERMANENTLY? I checked at my Apple iCloud LOGS and the only thing I saw that can be suspicious is the last line of the log who's :
[2472 @ Tue Nov 11 19:45:09 2014] [YSLog ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe] defaults key ShouldLog in domain ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe is (null)
Please help!!

In fact I discovered later I have this issue on all my Windows computers... both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, both MACs (BootCamp) or true PC computers. Except only the Surface Pro 3 tablet seem to have the HIGH-CPU process issue, but all my other Windows PCs stopped syncing too after a few weeks or so.
I just build a BRAND NEW HP Pro Desktop computer running Windows 8.1 Professional and a few days later iCloud Photo stopped syncing too... this is the straw that broke the camel's back! This PC is brand new and no other software are installed except iCloud, iTunes, QuickTime and Microsoft Office 2013 (Office 365). PC is brand new (1 week old) and iCloud Photos sync is already broken!
I also have a few Windows 7 PCs at home (HTPCs on TVs) where iCloud Control Panel is installed and after looking at them, they stopped syncing too for a while (many months ago) but I didn't noticed it yet because I don't check photos often on them.
For now I just give up and disabled the iCloud Photo Sync completely on all my Windows PCs. It only sync between my two iPads, my two iPhones and my two Macs computer (MBPr + iMac 27") and that's it... that's sad, but I'm tired loosing my time with that crappy software!
PLEASE APPLE!! MAKE ICLOUD FOR WINDOWS BETTER!!

Outlook 2010 will not sync at all

I have a Iphone 3Gs and Ipad 2 both on IOS 5. Using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. I have stopped using iCLoud and now Outlook will not sync at all. I turned off iCloud on the devices. While working with Steve from Apple customer care we restored the Ipad 2 to New, and I have uninstalled the downloaded MIcrosoft office version and reinstalled it using the CD. It still will not sync any information. Could the problem be due to the iCloud section still shows in Outlook but I get a "The set of folders can not be opened The information source can not be opened" error" Im not sure where to go from here? I dont understand why restoring to New would not work.
I have not done anything with the phone (other than stopping icloud sync contacs & calendar on phone) until I get I find a solution that works.

Hi,
I got the same problems with win7 and outlook 2007.
My iphone 4 does the sync (supposedly) actions but there is no iPhone Calendar items. on Outlook's Calendar and vice versa, no Outlook Calendar items on iPhone calendar. The Contacts sync gives the same results.
The same thing happens with iPad syncing to the same computer's Outlook.
But the strange things are still to come: When I do the iPhone sync to Outlook, then the iPad, I find iPhone items on the iPad; then I do the iPhone sync again, iPad's items are synced to the iPhone.
It looks like there are hidden Outlook Calendar and Contact files that are synced wiith the iPhone & iPad!
I too get the same error message, Outlook Sync Client has stopped working.

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!

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 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.

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

My iCloud is not syncing with my outlook

my iCloud is not syncing with my outlook

How do I upload my Microsoft Outlook to replace the Calendar and Contacts on Icloud? My computer is Windows 7 and Microsoft Outlook 2007. Icloud is all messed up and will not let me delete incorrect information. It keeps saying it cannot delete because of server error.
My iphone 4 and my computer are correct. Only Icloud is wrong. I have had to disable Icloud until I can figure out how to correct it. If anyone knows what I should do, please let me know.
Thanks.
