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.

ICloud mail not syncing across my devices

I have my mail set up on my iMac, Macbook Pro and iPhone with my iCloud account. When I delete a message or move it to a folder it doesn't sync this across my devices unless I use iCloud logged onto the web. This means that I have to keep repeating my actions and sometimes the mail reappears after I've deleted it. How can it sync across all devices like MobileMe used to, as it's really inconvenient.
I use the Lion OS.

Not sure where you are looking to see the 0 bytes available part.
However, signing out of iCloud and back in again will trigger the push from iCloud to the device or computer you are signing out of and back in to.
To ensure that your data is stored in iCloud, go to iCloud.com and check your Calendar to make sure it has the latest data that you want pushed to your devices and to your Mac.
If everything is in iCloud, then it will push back to your device or computer when you sign back on.
Cheers,

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.

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.

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.

Contacts and Calendar not sync across all devices

Installed mavericks a few weeks ago. Just looked at a contact on my iPad and iPhone and noted that changes made on my MacBook Pro are not showing up on either of these 2 devices. What is going on? I used to sync manually using iTunes. Tried this just now and does not update info in either calendar or contacts. I used to see :syncing Calendar, syncing contacts in the window describing progress - this does not appear.
Very very confused. Syncing across all devices very important. spend a lot of time in rural areas with no access to wi-fi. Am I trapped in iCloud only? if so How does that work?? Help!

Still confused - now I have multiple copies of the same event on my MacBook Pro, and iPad, and not at all on my i iPhone,
Just created a dummy contact on my iPad, and it appeared on MacBook Pro but not on iPhone. turned off iPhone and turned back on and new contact appeared.
My calendar on iPhone has no data from the time I started using Mavericks until a dummy event I added this afternoon. Do I need to turn my iPhone off and then back on to get it to sync? even with turning off and on the missing calendar items have not appeared.
I am a bit reluctant (afraid) to go to the web and look at my iCloud.com account for fear of sending yet another copy of the same calendar appointments and duplicate contacts / contacts info to myself on my devices. I have multiple copies of the same contact on my MacBook Pro. some of the contacts have 3 or 4 duplicates of the same information - example "home phone" or "e-mail address." Sometimes I have 3 or 4 copies of the same contact card.
Hope you are having a better day, I am completely confused and more than a bit frustrated. Has anyone written an app to replace sync services in Mavericks? I would gladly pay for it!

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.

Anyone having issues today with icloud mail not loading on any device

Hence the reason I have three accounts all with diffeerent providers. If I am doing anything crtical, I request replies on all of them. I find it much easier to delete the two extras one rather then not getting anything at all.
First rule of IT support: never depend on one of anything.

ICloud Mail not syncing as "read" across all devices

If I read an email on my Mac, it does not mark as read on my iPhone and i still see the new mail notification on the lock screen and there is a new mail mark on the mail app icon when i unlock the iPhone until I open up mail app and it checks manually.
When I used the Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App with Gmail account it works perfectly and when i read my mail it sync immediately on all devices and the new mail notification disappear immediately after reading the mail on the other device.
Is there any way that iCloud mail can update reading mail Immediately like Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App?

Unfortunately, iCloud only pushes new mail. In iOS, it has never pushed the updated status of mail read, moved or flagged on other devices. http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203545
You could try switching your iCloud mail to fetch instead of push. I've never tried this, but maybe it will fetch the read status, as per the fetch schedule.

ICloud not syncing across all devices

I have a macbook pro, iphone 4, and iMac. Both computers are running Lion and my iphone 4 is up to date.
I believe I set up iCloud correctly on all three devices. However, only the iMac and the iPhone seem to be syncing properly. For some reason, mail sent from me.com via my macbook pro doesn't show up in my other devices. Also, iCal entries made on my macbook pro are also not showing up.
Is there a quick fix? Some kind of setting somewhere that I need to change? All help appreciated.

mail.
Try turning mail and notes syncing off and on again on the MacBook.
calendars.
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 Mail not syncing across devices

This issue has been bugging me for many months now and I have not been able to find a solution: I am an iCloud user for email etc, iPhone 4s with iOS7.0 and MBP with OSX10.8.5 and Mail 6.6. There are actually 2 issues which I would like help in resolving:
1. If I happen to notice a new email received on my iPhone and open up that new message using the iPhone, it then does not get downloaded by Mail on my MBP. If however I choose to ignore a new message in my iPhone's inbox and wait until I get home to read it using my MBP, then Mail downloads the unopened message and I can choose to read it using either the iPhone or MBP. However, new mail downloaded on my MBP and which I then open using Mail is also downloaded on my iPhone and marked as read.
2. Sent Mail is not sync'd across the two devices. I can get around this by bcc'ing myself on all sent messages.
I use IMAP and have tried some recommendations I have found on some help sites but to no avail.
Thank you

ICloud mail not working, lost all mail.

hello,
i have this new problem which i can not figure out so i am asking for your help.
the situation is as follows:
i own a .mac account since day 1. and moved to icloud. so did my wife. all worked fine till i decided to update her iphone to ios6 i think.
today she send me an email which i received on my ipad. the notification on my ipad said an email was received from my name. checked the email and the email was my wifes email, but with my name.
went to iclouds on ther prefs pane and saw that it was under my name but i could not change it.
went to apple id and change the name under her apple id to her name and everything changed under hers.
but mail app got all srewed up.
i have lost all her emails and the only thing i get is an inbox and the sent folder.
her web mail and iphone have all folders and emails so they are not lost from the server.
i can not seem to be able to connect the macbook to the icloud server.
i log out from her apple id, and icloud. relog but mail will not sync with icloud and give an error in the pref pane window of icloud. it sais that icloud would not be enabled and go to mail and add the account from there.
i try to do it and when i go to add the account the account is already there. the icon on the left in the accounts list shows the icloud icon with mobile me title and icloud imap description.
the details in the account are correct and already filled in and locked. the server is p01-imap.mail.me.com
i send an email from my account to my wifes email. her iphone received the email from my name to my name (yes my name) but under her email address since she received it. on the macbook the email never arrived.
if i delete the account in the mail app i will get all fields locked but only the alias pull down menu with her email address with the @mac, @ me and @icloud alias.
enabling and disabling the acount will not add an icon to the left. enabling will fill in the locked fields. but do not really make mail work.
quiting mail and reopoening will create an icloud account like before....all in a loop and it gts me really mad!
i can not describe the problem any better since i do not understand what is going on.
macbook is on lion.
pleasseeeeee heeeellllpppp
or to put things on simpler note, mail will not enable/sync with iclouds.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 5 iOS 6. Message reads "The latest backup could not be completed." I have tried about 10 times, both auto and manual syncs. The progress bar progresses about 1%, stays there for about 5-10 minutes then the message appears. To rule out the possibility of a wireless signal problem, I did an iCloud backup on my wife's iPad (iOS 5.1.1) and my iPad II (iOS 6) and had no problems. I can't understand why my iPhone 5 has the problem and not my other devices. Apple phone support was unable to resolve this and the support person said he has not heard of this problem and would contact the engineering department.

Macbook mail not syncing with other devices after Maverick

After downloading Maverick on my macbook as well as on my imac, the mail on my macbook is not syncing with my other devices. My imac, iphone, and ipad are working and syncing as before downloading Maverick, but the mail in my macbook is not working properly. I have already done all current updates, any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Please disregard this post. I've found the answer to my own question!

Photos not syncing across all devices

This is more of a frustrated rant than it is a question. I have 3 devices, iPhone, iPad and Macbook pro.. all synced to iCloud. I am constantly having trouble with my photos not being in sync across all the devices.. i.e. my recent photos from my iPad were synced to my iPhone but they aren't showing up in iPhoto on my Macbook pro. Photos taken on those same days but using my iPhone did sync to my MacBook Pro. The iPad and iPhone are in sync together..
This is a maddening problem and I hope.. REALLY HOPE that upgrading to 10.3.3 and the new PHOTOS app FINALLY gets this right because up to know, I consider iCloud a fail due to inconsistencies like above.

ICloud mail not syncing changes on iPad

My iCloud @me.com emails are not syncing on iPad.
If I move/read/delete an email on iCloud.com or on my iPhone/Mac it syncs across each device. However on the iPad the deleted/moved messages still appear in my inbox and display as unread etc. To clarify I am not talking about the badge icon as I know this doesn't update automatically, I am referring to the emails themselves. I have tried disabling iCloud mail and restarting my iPad but when I re-enable iCloud mail the deleted/moved messages still appear in my inbox. Any ideas?

Unfortunately that's how iCloud is designed
Mail will update Mac to Mac and iPhone,iPad,Ipod to Mac
But it will not update Mac to iPhone, iPad, and iPod
This support Doc was published for MobileMe but it still applies to iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
So you can read a mail on you Mac and it will update the status to another Mac but will not update the status on a iPhone,iPad or iPod
but if you read a mail on your iphone,iPad od iPod it will update the status on your mac
Silly but there it is 1000's of us have been complaining about it for years but Apple will not change it
