Icloud not showing iOS7 iphone or Mavericks MBA

Hi everyone,
I just updated my iPad mini to iOS 8.0.2, making sure not to install iCloud Drive because 1) I have a MacbookAir running Mavericks (10.9.4) and no intention of installing a beta version of Yosemite 2) I haven't had the time to update my iPhone.
Even without installing iCloud Drive, when I connect to my iCloud account, both my MBA and iPhone are no longer listed under My Devices.. So my questions are the following:
Does this mean that changes made in MBA or iPhone are not being transferred to iCloud? i.e. a new contact entry while not at home, or a calendar entry from an email checked on my mac?
If yes, then how can I fix this?
If not, then why are they not showing up?
Thanks the help!
Lili

I just talked to Apple Support, after upgrading to ios7...and testing more with the maiden name field...
There reply was that the "Mainden Name" field is unique to OS X Contacts, and is no plans to bring it forward. I also just noticed that if a edit a contact that has this field on ios7 (the field doesn't show) and it syncs back via iCloud to my iMac...it wipes out the maiden name info!!!
I did notice that the new ios7/iCloud have several new/additional "relationship" fields, ie Spouse (which has been there) but now Mother, Father, etc....
Sooo... I guess I'll use the Father field to hold the maiden name info... works for me... :-)

I see. If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone. The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep. I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room. In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this. To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.

Device not detected in iTunes for Windows

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

Old icloud notes show as blank

Upgraded my Early 2013 MBP retina 15" to Yosemite 10.10 (14A389).
All my iCloud Notes show as blank (see image), new ones show up fine. On my phone, those old notes have the content.
I tried unchecking the notes box in prefs > icloud, i tried restarting the mac, etc. to no avail.
New notes sync just fine and show content just fine.
Pic of issue:

I had exactly the same problem. I unchecked my google, exchange and iCloud notes setting in iCloud and Internet Accounts, then zapped the files in /Users/myusername/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes, then re checked the iCloud Notes setting and it fixed the problem.
BUT be aware, I first thought it had not as I had recovered some more of them, but some were still blank, but then I checked 5 minutes later and they had recovered. Basically, the activity monitor showed 1MB received and then stopped, then 5 minutes later it read 2MB and all were recovered.
What I would suggest is that you do this and do not let the mac sleep or anything while it is recovering this.
I hope this helps.

HT1535 on the upper right corner it is not showing my iphone 5 device?

on the upe right corner of itunes its not showing my iphone 5 device. so how can i sync my device with my computer?

Hello roysyl,
We have an article to assist with troubleshooting the exact scenario you describe here. It is called iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
I recommend starting with restarting both devices.
Then if that does not get the iPhone to show in iTunes, follow the article starting at step 1 and working down as needed.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select Check for updates in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
Regards,
Sterling

Maiden name field in contacts not showing on iPhone or iPad or iCloud

I've changed my contacts template, on my iMac, to include the "maiden name" field, years ago... And to this date that field STILL does not show on my other Apple devices; iPhone or iPad or iCloud. Am I missing something or does Apple continue to not include some of THEIR "Std" fields on the ios devices or on iCloud?

I just talked to Apple Support, after upgrading to ios7...and testing more with the maiden name field...
There reply was that the "Mainden Name" field is unique to OS X Contacts, and is no plans to bring it forward. I also just noticed that if a edit a contact that has this field on ios7 (the field doesn't show) and it syncs back via iCloud to my iMac...it wipes out the maiden name info!!!

Why are declined events NOT showing on iPhone iOS7 (setting is marked to "on")

Apparently I and some of my colleagues are having the OPPOSITE issue from most.
We are syncing with Google Calendar.
We have set "Show Declined Events" to ON
Declined Events are NOT showing on iCal.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Richey

I noticed this too. I have a Google Apps for Business account through work.
This happens when I have Gmail configured as ActiveSync. But when using CalDAV - it isn't a problem. Does anyone have a solution or more informaiton on this topic?

ICloud not showing on Macbook, Macbook not showing on iCloud

Ok, I have a really weird situation. Last week I was locked out of my Macbook that I have owned since 2011, because as the Genius's at the Genius bar told me, it had been reported stolen. Luckily/Thankfully I still had the original receipt of purchase and was able to prove ownership and they unlocked it for me. The Genius's asked me if I had used iCloud and I hadn't. I didn't realize it wasn't merely a storage tool for your iphone or Macbook, that you could have your devices show up in iCloud and track them etc.
Now my question. I have registered my Macbook at https://supportprofile.apple.com and all of my information shows up, showing I own the computer. When I was re-registering the computer and going through the setup process again it asked me to sign into iCloud and I did (the computer had been wiped clean after I was locked out). Now, iCloud doesn't even show up under system preferences, in my toolbar, or anywhere else on the Macbook when I search for it. And when I go to iCloud.com only my iPhone shows up there, not my Macbook, even though it's registered to me now.
I am running the Macbook on Mavericks.
I have done some research and can't seem to figure out what's going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Your Mac runs the OS X operating system which is different than the iOS operating system you use on your iOS device. The versions of iWork that you have purchased for your Mac will not run on your iOS device, you will need to purchase those apps through the App Store for your iOS device.

ICloud cannot show preferences pane - running Mavericks

I am using the latest upgrade, Mavericks, and have plenty of memory. I continue to receive a message that tells me, "iCloud cannot show preferences pane." That is not a direct quote, but contains the meaning. Thank you to anyone who has a fix for this situation.

What system version are you running? One must be running 10.7.5 in order to have iCloud included in the System preferences.
Minimum system requirements by feature
To use iCloud, you need at least iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPad, or iPad mini; or at least OS X Lion v10.7.5 on a Mac
Do you have an iCloud pane in the System preferences?

Is there a way to give permission to access iPhone 5C when you can't through the display? Display is not showing but iPhone 5C is recognized in iTunes through USB.

So display on phone does not show anymore; however, when I plug it into the USB the phone is recognized by iTunes and triggers the permission pop up to access. The only problem is I can't click "Trust" on the iPhone because I don't have a screen that shows it. I can even reset the phone by holding the power and home button. So basically it's give permission with no screen. I have a replacement phone on the way but unfortunately the back up for this phone was deleted during a PC refresh so no backup and that's why I need access to it. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

There is no way to interact with the phone if the screen is not working.
Did you happen to have iCloud backup enabled? If so, you'll be able to restore from an iCloud backup and get at least some of your data back.
