ICloud not refreshing from iOS device

My iPhone 4S has 425 Contacts but my iCloud/iPad contacts have 350 Contacts (with the same iCloud id and iCloud turned on my devices). I have run the steps to toggle Contacts on/off on iPhone, Keep Contacts on iPhone, Merge, and Back-up to Storage.  It seems to function properly from my iPhone; however, I do not see the update either in iCloud or my iPad.  iCloud servers are displayed as functioning properly. It just does not want to sync.  Please advise.

What sort of pictures?
Note that only pictures taken by the camera (or saved) go to Photostream and they are only sent to Photostream when the camera App goes inactive.

  • Do movies I buy stay in iCloud when deleted from iOS device?

    We have two iPhones and an iPad in the family, each with the least amount of memory you can get. If I delete a movie or TV show I have purchased via iTunes, because of space issues for example, does the movie or show stay in iCloud to be available to me to watch again later, or even for the first time if I haven't actually watched it already?

    It depends on what country you're in, what movie it is, and whether or not it's still available in the iTunes Store; rented movies are never stored in the iCloud.

  • Photos taken from iOS device not showing up on Macbook??????

    I have photo streaming turned "ON" on my iPhone 5, iPad Air and Macbook Pro. For some reason or another I have been having problems getting the pictures to show up on my Mac. The only time I need for this to happen automatically is when I am listing on eBay. For example I took a picture of the item that I want to list from my iPhone 5. Within a few minutes the picture shows up my iPad Air. I am using my Macbook Pro to list the items. It took over an hour for one picture to come over. I called Apple and without having a device that is under the 1 year contract or Applecare they push this support forum on you or pay $19.95 for them to walk you through it.
    Before anyone replies, I have made sure that I am signed in under my apple ID on all three devices and have photo stream selected as well. All of my devices are updated to the latest software. Being that I am having problems with my Mac it is version 10.9.4 running Mavericks. If anyone has any definite answers to this problem I am having I would appreciate all the advice I can get.

    No offense, but there are not definitive answers when it comes to iCloud.
    Reset iCloud.
    On your iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos then switch Photo Stream off then back on.
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Photos then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

  • Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

    Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
    I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
    1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive.  Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application?  Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
    2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
    Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear.  Many thanks for the help.

    2)  iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses.  For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
    I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac.  On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them.  I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

  • HT4847 Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

    Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

    I found the solution .,,,
    1) click on your current plan and press done your payment details will appear .
    2) the first section is your plan and there is a botton "change" click on it
    3) it will take you back to the upgrade options
    4) press on the downgrade options
    5) choose the 5 GB and the done botton will be enabled
    6) click on it  you'll back to the step number 2 , here read carefully you'll see that your changes will take effect after the current plan expired with the date.

  • Photos from the PC does not appear on iOS devices

    Win7-64 installed icloud 2.0. Iphone 4, iPad new (iOS 6)
    I put the photos in the folder uploads, they appear on your computer in the my photostream, but do not appear on ios devices.
    Climbed into the iPhone file manager and found an interesting picture. Photos taken on iOS go to one folder photostream and displayed on all devices and PCs, but throw in uploads pictures in Windows also went on iOS devices, but for some reason in a completely different location. And in the photostream on iPhones and aypade not appear, although present. I wonder what this folder is and whether it is in others?
    Reset iphone now tried, does not help.

    Come on, surely no one can see one or two folders on the iphone?

  • Why does icloud notes go from pc to ios but not from ios to pc?

  • How can i look at my files from icloud backup if my iOS device is no longer available (was stolen)?

    Is it possible to view and download photos that were in each iOS device's last backup? I do not have the iOS devices anymore as they were stolen while traveling.
    Unfortunately, I significantly misunderstood how photo stream was working and due to memory limitations on my iPad (very little available memory with loaded movies and other big memory uses), I had to find ways to keep memory from being totally full and was deleting photos in Photo Stream on that iOS device thinking it would only delete it on that device and not ALL iOS devices. It seems that is a missing feature selection (should be a default too IMO) on Photo Stream!!
    thx in advance..

    If you want to view and download your photos from your backup files,  I think you need the help of third party iOS data recovery like ifonebox, dr.phone. Such kinds of software can help you view and retrieve your photos. Hope this is helpful to you.

    iCloud on my macbook air locates my other mac's, but does not locate my iphone 4, ipad 3 and iphone 3GS, all devices are using the same apple id's as my main itunes and app store id's.
    No matter wich mac i use icloud to locate my ios devices they do not appear, i have also used find my iphone on all ios devices and still they are not located, Icloud seems to be configured correctly on all devices with the same apple id's.

    Your devices are all on and able to connect to wifi and/or data connection?
    You have turned on the "find my" feature on each of the devices?

  • How can i create an icloud accout without any iOS device or Mac?

    I do not have an iOS device nor do I have a Mac. I would like to view other persons Photostream. When I download the iCloud 2.1.1 (for windows) I am being asked to sign in with my apple ID. When I enter it, I am being told that the apple ID is correct, but that this is not an iCloud account. From here I don't know how to continue.

    You can't.

  • How do I get the correct ICloud account on my iOS devices?

    Hello. A few days ago, I changed my Apple ID username from my old email to my new one. Everything worked fine and I was able to re-login to the App Store, iMessage, etc. A few days later, I got a message from iCloud asking me to login. When I tried to login it failed and I realized that it was using my old Apple ID email to login to iCloud. So I went into accounts and tried to delete that account and add the account with the correct Apple ID. When I tried to delete the account it asked for my iCloud password to confirm, which doesn't work because it is using my old Apple ID. I then tried to add my current iCloud account without deleting the old one, but when I did it said it was already on the device. How do I get the correct ICloud account on my iOS devices?

    Log out of the old ID, then login using the new one with the correct pw.

  • How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

    How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
    This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

    KRDHarris-
    The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius.  See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
    I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings.  If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

  • How do I find pdf's stored in iCloud Drive with my iOS devices?

    I have recently updated OS X to 10.10 and all of my iOS devices to 8.1.  And I routinely store Pages, Numbers, Keynote and pdf documents on iCloud Drive.
    But I can't figure out how to find a pdf stored on iCloud Drive from an iOS device.  It's obvious (in the finder) in Yosemite, but I have no idea with iOS.

    You have to access documents in iCloud drive on an iOS device from an iCloud compatible app that can read the document you are trying to open.  For PDFs, you can use an app like Documents 5 by Readdle.

  • Auto tab focus method is not working in iOS devices please share the ideas why its not working?

    Auto tab focus method is not working in iOS devices. Please share the idear i am facing this issue while developing code for devices.

    Hi there,
    I can confirm this bug.
    Not sure if this info is relevant, but this is my experience:
    I am on the FIDO network, and so are two other people I know.
    We all tried blocking numbers, and calls ring right through. Text messages are blocked successfully. (never tried facetime)
    I also tried a ROGERS device running IOS7, and was successfully able to block my phone call from ringing through. HOWEVER, my call was forwarded to their voicemail, I was able to leave a voicemail for the person, and they did get an alert that they had a new voicemail.
    I have not yet had a chance to test this on Bell, Telus, or any other carriers.
    Spoke to Apple, and they advised me to do a hard reset (hold both buttons to shut off and reboot the phone), and if that fails to do an iOS restore.
    I have yet to try this, but hopefully someone will have a better solution.
