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 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 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.

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

  • 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/.

  • ICloud calendar not syncing with mac

    on my iPhone, when I input an event in my iCloud calender, it doesn't sync to my iCal on my Mac.  (BUT, it does work the other way - if I make an event on my Mac it does show up in that calendar on my phone...) Any help much appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Can i not sync – contacts with my Mac in OSX Mavericks? Why must it be done in the "cloud"? This is a very unnecessary change!

    Why, why, why??? can i not sync – contacts with my Mac in OSX Mavericks? Why must it be done in the "cloud"? This is a very unnecessary change!

    You can sync via icloud.  You cannot sync contacts via the cable.

  • Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

    My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
    so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
    anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
    problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
    related problem?
    thank
    Hein

    I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
    Below that is:
    "From My Mac.
    "All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
    This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
    Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
    Hope this helps you.

    My new iPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11, but will charge on my friends OSX 10.6.7, what do I do?

    Call AppleCare and ask them if they still have an available copy or check on Amazon, eBay, etc. If your computer will support it you will be better off buying a retail copy of Snow Leopard instead.

  • 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.)

  • 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.
