When I put in a new calendar event on my iphone 4 it does not sync to my iCal on my iMac.

I use icloud to sync my iCal on my iMac, iphone 4, and ipad. It usually works fine, but lately whenever I put in a new event in the calendar on my iphone, it does not sync to my ical. It does sync to my ipad. I've checked the "sync with iCal" button when i update the devices on itunes. Any other suggestions?

Sal,
Click on your iMac, iCal "Calendars" button. Are there any calendars listed under the "On My Mac" category? If so, they will not sync with iCloud. After veryifying that all of your "On My Mac" events are on the iCloud calendars, I recommend backing up, and then deleting the "On My Mac" calendars.

ICloud not syncing and Contact problems with merging duplicates

I was having problems with the syncing of my notes app. When I got the iphone 5 I had since using Mountain Lion I had started to make use of the fact that the notes sync across iCloud. Great. Although not for long. Everything was going fine notes were syncing across devices but then spontaneously they stopped syncing for no apparent reason. I then went to look in settings, looked online and all through discussion forums. Switching notes on and off on icloud both on the macbook and on my iphone. Restarting devices etc etc. iCloud itself online was not able to access the notes app. I kept getting error messages that I would submit to apple. Then I finally relqinquished and unhooked the iCloud accounts from the computer and phone. And at the sacrifice of losing albums in my photostream they sprung back to syncing.
Then the real problem happened. I had selected to keep a copy of my address book in contacts when I unhooked my computer just in case. When everything linked back up again, I then had duplicates in my address book. Not 1 (this can happen just having icloud active) but 5 sets of duplicates, granted I had kept a version from when I unhooked. So I looked around again for how I could quickly and easily get rid of duplicates. Following suggestions online I go into contacts>cards>look for duplicates. I had 1200 or somthing duplicates, so naturally when given the option "would you like to merge the info in these duplicates I click yes. The MacBook starts to chugg away. Its gonna take a while. So I come back later. And before returning to CONTACTS, go to send a message from MESSAGES and I notice that 80% of the threads have no name. I go back to CONTACTS and WHAM 100s of contacts disappeared in the merge never to be retrieived again. You cant restore CONTACTS from Time Machine as it is just mirrors the contacts that you have in present time. Restoring phone doesn't work becasue it just downloads from iCloud after it has restored. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. I am livid.

what I mean is - create a complete new contact on your contacts and select a picture for it from your Mac. Then set it as "make this my card"
Once you have done that - presumably it will sync with iCloud - have a look and the contact should appear on your iPhone too.
On your iPhone go on Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar> Under "Contacts: in "My Info" select That new contact you created on your Mac.
Let me know if that works.
-On another note, so what you are saying is, if I take my 15' Macbook Pro in and they have none of the old ones in stock, they just give you a Retina display one! Did you take it to them for the contact issue you were having or something else?

Why is icloud not syncing all my notes on all devices properly?

I have iCloud syncing of the new desktop/mobile app - "Notes" turned on in my desktop Imac, my Ipad and my Iphone.
All I want iCloud to do is simply mirror and sync all three of these Notes platforms so that the latest versions of all existing and new notes are identical in number and content on all devices.
Is that not what this great complicated,bug-prone iCloud is SUPPOSED to do ????
I had, over a long time (pre-iCloud and Mountain Lion), accumulated 61 separate notes on the Iphone, as this is where I create and refer to most of my notes.
Despite my having these 61 Iphone notes, only 17 are appearing on the desktop - and, indeed, it appears iCloud has gone and DELETED most of the notes I had previously synced up to the desktop from the iPhone using both iCloud and the old Itunes syncing,.... which of course has now no longer available..
Please, someone, how do I get Icloud to stop being selective and having a mind of its own about what it deletes and syncs and, instead, very simply do what it'as touted to do and mirror all notes in identical fashion on all 3 platforms. ?????
- Iam frustrated and on the verge of just shutting it all down and giving up on the Cloud - it is so poorly explained !!!

I can't see a failure on Apple's part: they are giving you Notes for each and every of your email accounts. In each account you can activate Notes or not. Can you ask for more flexibility? The rest depends on what you make out of it.
I'm not sure what you mean by
you end up having to create a separate iCloud email address, that apparently has no password, or at least I was never prompted for one and the only thing this email address is for is an outdated transport system that isn't used by the other iCloud data streams.
Most people have more email addresses, though not necessarily on iCloud, but everyone on iCloud has at least one @me.com and/or @mac.com address, which lets you sync your Notes across all OS X and iOS devices.
So, it looks as if - at least for now - you want only a single Notes "pad" that's in sync and accessible on all your Apple gear. No prob.
1. Make sure all your notes were copied or moved into Notes under your iCloud account.
2. On all your Apple gear, deactivate Notes for all (email) accounts except iCloud, and activate it for your iCloud account:
2.1. In OS X:
- The simplest way is to launch Notes, then -> Notes -> Accounts in the menu bar.
- Click on each non-iCloud account and uncheck Notes.
- Click on your iCloud account and make sure Notes is checked.
2.2. In iOS:
- Go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Tap on each non-iCloud accounts and turn Notes off.
- Tap on your iCloud account and make sure Notes are on.
That's it. Now you have only a single notepad everywhere, and since it's in iCloud and active on all your Apple devices, it stays in sync. See, makes sense, no?

ICloud not syncing all files

My iPod has around 360 pictures and 40 videos on it. This is severely clogging ym memory so I tried using iCloud to sync them to my pc, whilst removing them from the iPod. However it only syncs about 130 of these items in a fold on my iCloud that I made instead of all 400. Is there any way of making it sync all of them to my pc?

The easiest thing to do is import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC.

ICloud not syncing all purchased songs

I currently have three devices associated with my Apple ID: a Windows Vista desktop, a Windows 7 laptop, and an iPod 2 with iOS 5 on it. On each of these, iTunes is the most recent version. In each, I'm able to sync MOST of my purchased music from the iTunes store, but not all of it. I'm at just over a thousand tracks successfully synced, and 121 songs that won't sync. The music that I haven't been able to sync ranges from albums purcased at least a year ago to songs purchased within the past month. It's the same music that won't sync from device to device.
Essentially, the download previous purchases section of iTunes looks somewhat broken.
As can be seen here, I have "All Songs" selected, "Not In My Library" selected, iTunes is aware that there's 121 songs missing but isn't showing anything there. These are songs that I've previous purchased but which are not available for me to download. The window is identical on my laptop, and while the view differs slightly on my iPad due to the slightly different UI, a very similar thing is showing with exactly the same problem.
The songs still exist in iTunes itself as part of the same albums and with the same cover art; I seem to have the option of purchasing them again. So far, I haven't tried that. So, the issue definitely doesn't seem to that the songs are no longer available. I've tried to deauthorize and reauthorize each of my devices, I've restarted iTunes, the computers, the iPad, I've reset the iPad to factory settings and then tried again from scratch.
The end result is I currently have all my Flo Rida and Ke$ha songs, which sync just fine via the iCloud, but I'm missing Bob Dylan and Garbage.
Does anyone know if A) there's a solution, or B) Apple has acknowledged the issue and indicated that a fix is pending?

Posted this on another thread a few days back:
I have a theory about this. Could you all please check this? I have just sent the following email to my contact at Apple:
Hi Younus,
I may have noticed a pattern.
It would seem that the majority of the music which I am missing is that which costs £0.79. I have spotted in several albums where I bought songs that those which cost me £0.99 are still available from my purchase history to redownload, where those which cost me £0.79 are not.
I hope this will help you get to the bottom of the problem and would appreciate an update when the matter is rectified. In the meantime, I will continue to back up my music manually.
Examples of missing tracks:
"Disarray" and "Easier To Be" by Lifehouse. Purchase number: xxxxxxxxxxxx at £0.79 each are not available for me to redownload whereas "Broken" for which I paid £0.79 IS still available for me to redownload from my purchase history
"Broken Hearts, Torn Up Letters and the story of a Lonely Girl", " 4am Forever" and "A Town Called Hypocrisy" by lostprophets. Purchase Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxx at £0.79 each are not avaialble for me to redownload where as "Rooftops" which I paid £0.99 for IS still available for me to redownload for my purchase history
The album "Rocky Balboa: The Best of Rocky (Remastered) allows me to redownload every track (all at £0.99) with the sole exception of the first track "Gonna Fly Now (Theme From "Rocky" )which is THE ONLY track on the album costing £0.79. Purchase Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I don't think is a co-incidence so would appreciate you feeding this back to Apple and seeing if this is a problem in other people's cases as well. If there has been a change in Apple's billing systems or something else this could be what has triggered this issue. This only started becoming an issue for me personally a few days after iOS5 was released so if anything changed at Apple's end around this time this could be to blame.
Could you please update me once you have fed this theory back to the business / engineers?
Thanks,
Mike.

Iphone 4s will not sync all contact information with outlook. Street Addresses will not sync. Is there a fix?

This is the only forum I had access to post, so I apologize if my question is not relative. Hopefully some kind soul will have an answer for me.

Thanks Randers4. You are right - I neglected to tell all the stuff I've tried. I did as you suggested about resetting the sync history - I even closed and reopened everything, and tried syncing with Outlook open, and then closed. The only change is it did download (sync) one new calendar event I added to my Outlook calendar and it put it on my iphone calendar, but it did NOT put my new iphone calendar items on my Outlook calendar. Not sure what else to try!

Itunes is not syncing all my photos from my imac to ipad.

It syncs most of them and they have been taken with the same camera. Any suggestions gratefully received.

If you are getting a 'cannot be displayed' or 'missing file' error, then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. I can get it to sync if my iMac is set to MobileMe calendar, but I cannot get rid of iCal which keeps coming up with an error message.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message.

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

All day events on iCloud not syncing to mac

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP iCal via WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete"

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP (OS 10.7) iCal via iTunes and WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete because the downloading never completes because I am not connected to the internet.
Why does syncing iCal need Safari Safe Browsing Data? How can I turn this off?

See:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing
"Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" is just some data that is synce with the computer. To turn off on the Mac go to System Preferencs>iCloud and turn off Safari
