ICloud non primary photostream sync

My wife and I both have iphones and share a macbook pro. I had been a member of .mac/mobileme, I was the primary account and my wife had the secondary account. Now that .mac/mobileme is icloud, trying to allow my wife to sync photostream photos (al new photos she takes ends up in photostream, not the camera roll) give us the message that this is not our primary icould account and it will only let us sync mail, contacts and calendars?
Can anyone help us retireve the photostream photos without emailing them one at a time?

It seems you both use different icloud accounts, which is what most users should do to avoid overlapping data on all devices, and one of you has the other account listed as a secondary account. If that's the case, then the secondary account can't use photo stream.
Also, you mention that your wife's photos go into photo stream but not camera roll. There's something wrong here, because all new photos go into camera roll and also photo stream, if that is turned on.

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.

How do i choose which icloud contact group to sync to individual iphones

There are 4 of us using my mac and we want individual icloud contact groups to our own iphones. Can we do it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you are sharing a single OSX user account and each have an individual iCloud account.
You can share different groups but it will mean that only one of you can sync photostream photos with the mac.
The way to do this is to have one of you as the primary iCloud user (with photostream) and have the remaining three users accounts added as secondary accounts in system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

How can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?

Good afternoon friends.
Please help me and tell how can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?
I started using Apple ID in 2011 when iCloud was not exist and was forced to use non-apple e-mail adress as primary ID.
So I used GMail mailbox.
When iCloud was started I created my account but unfortunatelly can't remove this Gmail address from my Apple ID and replace it with icloud mail address.
I was VERY dissapointed because I don't want to use "outside" mailbox to get letters from Apple and ny ID.
In fact I see the Apple old users and fans discrimination.
When creating new user accounts are free to create a box on the iCloud mail and use it as a primary ID, and the only ONE.
At the same time the old user is obliged to keep third-party mail box like Gmail etc. as the primary and can not get such an opportunity, as a new user
This is extremely inconvenient and a VERY strange logical.
For example, now I want to stop using this mailbox on Gmail but I can not do that because in this case I lose access to my ID, or run the risk that someone in the future will create a box with the same name on Gmail (when name will be free and available) and will automatically get access to my accounts on Apple and to my Apple ID.
Now, to avoid this, your team, I offer the only way out: ID, create anew.
Of course it's possible, but then:
- I lose all my purchases for 3 years and will be forced to make them again and pay money for the second time for my purchases
- Lose access to the familiar iCloud e-mail address who now serves as secondary ID because this e-mail address is almost no longer available and will never be released in future.
And now answer me for ONLY TWO questions:
- WHERE IS LOGIC?
- WHAT ABOUT TO BE FRIENDLY FOR YOUR USERS AND FANS?
Thank you!
Hopefully for your GOOD answers.

You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4s. My contacts do not show up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on to backup

My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4S. My contacts do not turn up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on in my phone.

Unchecking them won't help, it will only hide them from view. The issue you're running into is that iCloud doesn't sync contacts from non-iCloud accounts like your exchange and Yahoo accounts. In order to sync these with iCloud, you would need to copy them to the iCloud account and then disable contact syncing with these other accounts. (If you didn't disable contacts syncing with these accounts, you would see duplicates of these contacts on your phone -- one from the external account, and one from iCloud.) If you want to do this, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your other accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email before proceeding to step 3.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and confirm that this is set to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Yahoo and your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts. This will remove the contacts from these accounts from your phone.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from these accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. All your contacts should now be in iCloud and be visible on icloud.com.

ICloud contacts do not sync under ML

I have 697 contacts in 11 groups stored in iCloud and all appear on my iPhone and iPad. They were also visible in the contacts app on my MacBook Air so far. After the installation of ML yesterday, there are only 490 contacts and no groups and changes made on the MacBook do not sync to iClound.
Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Not all photos on photostream sync to iPad

IPhoto says I have 197 photos in my photo stream. I recently had to delete my iCloud account on my iPad 2 because the notes were not syncing. When I added my iCloud account back only a few photos from the photostream synced back up. What can I do to have all photos on photostream sync back to my iPad?

iCloud only keeps photo stream photos from the last 30 days. Your backup would include your camera roll photos but they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your device.

Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.

Doesn't work well in IE8 (9 I would think is ok), but is fine in the current version of Chrome.

Icloud calendar is no longer syncing to outlook although it previously did. If I make a calendar entry in outlook and hit the iCloud refresh, it does sync to my iphone, ipad. However if I make a calendar entry on my iphone or ipad it won't sync to Outlook

icloud calendar is no longer syncing TO outlook although it previously did. If I make a calendar entry in outlook and hit the iCloud refresh, it DOES sync to my iphone, ipad.

ICloud is no longer syncing my calendars.

iCloud is no longer syncing my calendars. They are showing up as "iCloud" calendars in iCal, but aren't syncing either to the web portal or to other devices. In System Preferences, the iCloud calendar and reminder toggles will not stay checked. They were previously on, and seem to have turned themselves off. When I try to turn them back on, they go through a "setting up" routine, and then turn off again.
I have a back up of the calendar, from which I tried a variety of restorations. But I can't seem to get to get iCloud to talk to my machines anymore.
Any ideas?

Thanks for that advice. I've actually gone throught the diasble iCloud--> delete data--> reboot--> restart iCloud process a couple of times. The problem doesn't seem to go away. The only thing I can think of is that my offline calendars (the ones on my computer) are more up to date than the iCloud calendars, and iCloud is resisting syncing a bunch of unknown data.
For the moment, I've just loaded all of my calendar data into Google calendars, which seem to sync cleanly with my iCal.

Icloud is no longer syncing to my outlook 2007.

My iPhone is syncing to iCloud, but iCloud is no longer syncing the contacts and calendar data to Outlook 2007. I have a PC, Toshiba laptop, running Windows Vista. It was working up until about 2 weeks ago. I need my calendar to sync accurate in order for my billing to be accurate. Please post any remedies that you might know of. I have already gone into Settings, Mails-contacts-calendars, default calendar is reflecting the icloud.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not sync my mail via iCloud.

Create a test even on your iPhone calendar, then check your calendar on icloud.com from your computer to see if it appears there. If not, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Google calendar, etc. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now. If new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your phone to your calendar on icloud.com. Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On. Then add a new event on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
Then repeat this process on your iPad.

ICloud calendar dosen't sync to iPhone and iPad

hi,
Since i updated to ios6 my icloud calendar dosen't sync wel with my iDevices (iPhone, iPad)
Can someone help me with how to sync all my iDevices to iCloud calendar?
thanks
Benny

Make sure you devices are signed into the correct iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, then check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section). Here be sure you have selected the calendar under your iCloud account ID as your default. If everything is correct and it still won't sync your calendar, go through the additional troubleshooting steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
