ICloud not synchronizing tabs between MacBook and iPhone

Okay so first off, hello! And let me start by saying that I found a topic about this from September last year. This did, however, not help me at all. Anyway so, apparently my tabs is not synchronizing between my iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro anymore. The last time it synchronized was six days ago on the 20th, and I know that because there's a tab I can open on my computer that takes me to a topic that was written that exact day and has date and time stamp. I noticed, however, that a tab I opened this morning on my iPad HAS synchronized with my iPhone... So I really haven't got a single clue what is going on but I am getting extremely annoyed that it hasn't synchronized for a week now!
And no, private browsing is NOT enabled on my phone OR my computer, so that's definitely not it. I've never had it enabled anyway, but yes I have checked just to be sure, and it's disabled. So I really don't know what is going on, and I'd really like to have this fixed. Again, a tab i opened on my iPad this morning has synchronized with my phone and not with my computer. So I'm guessing it's my computer there's something wrong with?
If anyone could help, I'd be very happy!
Thanks,
Maya

Make sure all your iOS devices and your Mac are signed into the same iCloud account, and that your iOS devices have Safari set to On in Settings>iCloud, and that your Mac has Safari checked in System Preferences>iCloud. If your settings are correct and open tabs in Safari on your Mac are not listed in iCloud tabs on your iOS devices (and vice versa), go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Safari, restart your Mac, wait a minute or so, then recheck Safari. See if this resolves things.

ICloud not pushing apps between iPad and iPhone what am I doing wrong

I have a new iPad2 and a new iPhone4. I put iOS5 on both of them. My understanding of this was when you purchased an app on one device it would push to your other devices. I did this and the apps do not push to my other device. I use the same Apple ID for both if that matters. I set up iCloud on both devices, turned everything "on" and created an @me account. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any help...feeling like an iDiot

I believe you are misunderstanding. You don't sync apps between iPad and iPhone, and iCloud has nothing to do with any of this. There is a setting in Settings -> Store where you can set each device to automatically download NEW apps, meaning that when you buy a new app on one device, the other automatically downloads it. However, this is for new downloads only.
For your existing apps, you can simply connect each device to your computer and move the desired apps to it in iTunes. Or you can go to the App Store and re-download those apps.

Hi, MPiaM.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer. However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

Hotmail not syncing between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

I'm 3 days into my new MacBook Pro, which replaced a PC laptop running Outlook. With my old system, I coud check my Hotmail account in Outlook, and the messages would no longer be marked as new on my iPhone/iPad, and vice versa. With the MacBook, my iCloud email syncs well between all three devices. My Hotmail remains in sync between my iPhone & iPad, but not on my MacBook. Is there any way to fix this?

No, Hotmail can only be accessed via POP3 on your Mac. Pop accounts do not synchronize. Microsoft provide Active Sync services on a mobile device but chose not to for Macs.

Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
Any ideas?!

Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself. When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again. Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now. If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

ICloud not syncing contacts between mac and iOS 8 iphone

Contacts not syncing between imac under Mavericks and iPhone 5 under IOS 8. When trying to delete the iCloud account from the phone I get a verification error. Yet when i use a browser I can successfully verify that the appleid and password are correct. Any ideas on how to fix this short of totally wiping the iPhone and starting over?

Then I think your best option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
regards,
Matt

I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.,
if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

Sync email between macbook and iphone

When I delete emails on my macbook and then sync my iphone, why do emails deleted on my macbook still appear on my iphone?

Synching mail on a computer and an iPhone doesn't synch the actual mail, but rather the account settings.
As to why you're deleting emails on your macbook and yet still seeing them on your phone is that you most likely have a POP account, and not an IMAP or Exchange. This is a function of the type of mail account you have, not of the synching between the phone and computer.

File sharing between Macbook and iPhone 5s? AirDrop or bluetooth

Just purchased my first Macbook ever! I'm catching on quickly however I've run into a snag with file sharing between my other Apple devices.
How can I pair and send files between my MBA and iPhone 5s?
I've made the change in system preferences to allow file sharing, yet still pops up on my iPhone that my MBA doesn't support this.
Also I've enabled Airdrop on both devices yet I can't seem to get that to work as well. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I would love to be able to easily send pictures or documents from my MBA to my iPhone 5s via Airdrop and vice versa.
Thanks in advance

Regarding AirDrop, note the quotation below from: iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
The iPhone has limited bluetooth profiles and the only supportde connection between an iPhone and a computer is for tethering (sharing the iPhones cellular data connection). iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

How to sync Ibooks between Macbook and iPhone?

Hi, doesn't anyone knwos how to sync my library between Iphone and Macbook?
Thanks
Carlo

I created an empty collection in iBooks on my MacBook, then synced with my iPad, and nothing seemed to happen. I did the Home button double-click on the iPad, killed iBooks, then went back to the MacBook and synced again. The new collection then showed up on the iPad. Might help.
...and from another thread: Select a book or collection in iBooks and press the Delete key to delete it. There will be a warning/Cancel/OK dialog.

Creating a local wifi network between macbook and iphone

Hi there
I'm in a hotel and want to move some files to my iphone, but the computer I have isn't my synching machine. I would like to create a wifi network that the iphone and the macbook can both join. I also have an older airport express on hand, and am using Snow Leopard on a newer macbook pro.
I've tried creating a wifi network on the macbook and joining from the iphone, but the iphone can't see the network even when specified manually.
I've also tried making a network with the airport express, but the same thing happens as with the macbook.
I feel like this should be do-able, but I'm missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have been trying this for days now without success! I seem to create a computer to computer network ok (although I dont know if I should use dhcp or dhcp with manual or manual ip setting..??), and my iphone recognises the wifi name I give it.... but shows a different ip address!
and when I try the desired app (iosc), it doesnt seem to be transmitting any iosc data to my max/msp patch. Is there a simple test to check if the iphone is actually connecting ? - even though the ip addresses are different (weird!?)..
any help very much appreciated...

IMessage will not fully snych between ipad and iphone

Hi
I've been trying to fix this for a few hours now, and getting increasingly frustrated. My ipad and Iphone suddenly dont share iMessage information.
Both devices use the same email. I can send an iMessage from my ipad. This pops up on my iPhone. Cool. The reverse doesnt work. Anything I send from my phone keeps to my phone only. Anything coming in goes to my phone if its sent from there or from my iPad if its sent from there.
More frustating is this used to work fine.
This makes my ipad un-usable for work. Apple seems to make getting any support stageringly difficult. The Apple site actually told me there was no walk in service available in my area. Im in central London!
Please help.
Many thanks
Jez

IMessage not syncing between MacBook and iPhone

Normally, my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.4.9 w/ standard hardware) and my iPhone (iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2) sync iMessages perfectly. Recently, I turned my MacBook off for the weekend and was messaging solely through my iPhone. When I turned my MacBook on again and launched iMessage, I noticed that the conversations were not synced between the computer and phone.
I've already tried the fix suggested here, and I got the notification, but the conversations didn't update.
All messages sent since the MacBook was turned on again have synced between both the phone and computer, but messages sent during the weekend only appear on my phone (the device used to send them). Any suggestions?

Hi,
You are leaving conversation "open" (still displayed) in Messages when you Quit ?
If you closed off all the chats and conversations in Messages you will need to re-connect to the people involved for the app to then display the previous part of the conversation.

ICal synch between MacBook and iPhone using iCloud

when I create an event in iCal it synchs to my iPhone via iCloud but, when I create an event in iCal using integration with Mail, the event does not show up on iPhone.

At present you have to upload iWork documents manually to iCloud. It's possible that this may be addressed in a future upgrade either (or both) to iWork and the operating system, though there has been no announcement on this.
Once uploaded from a Mac, you cannot download again until the document has been edited on an iOS device. If you want to keep documents or two Macs in sync you would be better off with Dropbox or SugarSync.

Album art not matching correctly between iTunes and iPhone.

So as much as this might not seem as an issue for some, I notice that my album artwork in iTunes does not always match up with the album art on my phone. If I think that some artwork for a song or album is unappealing or not matching, I will change it to my own artwork. Normally, this has never been an issue for me until recently. What happens is I do the normal album art changing procedure (go to get info, add/delete album art) and it works fine. The odd thing is that when I go to select an album on my phone, the album art is the same as what it was in the iTunes Store and not what I added, but the individual songs have the album art that I added myself.
I've managed to fix this issue on some albums by converting them mp3 format, but that only works for some and I don't know why. I would prefer the song art and album art be the same, just because I'm really nitpicky about things matching. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? Does anyone else happen to have this issue, or any clue what the problem might be? Help would be much appreciated, thanks!

What you are trying to do is clear but iTunes Match / IOS 6 does not work that way.
You can sync playlists from computer to iDevice using the options under the music tab for your iDevice on the computer. This will provide a local copy on the iDevice of each Song included in each Playlist selected for sync.
With iTunes Match / IOS 6, as Songs are played from the iCloud (ie not those already downloaded in playlists) IOS 6 does in fact 'download' the Song to a local cache. In theory this cache should be managed by IOS 6 such that it does not overload your iDevice memory - Apple have not chosen to share exactly how this operates.
Given your notes above would suggest starting from a refresh restore on the iPhone 5 with all synchronisation performed afresh and iTunes Match switched on.
