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.

  • How to sync iBooks between Mac and iPhone? I'm on Mavericks and iOS 7

    I'm on Mavericks and iOS 7, but my iBook on Mac is different from my iPhone 5.
    Does anyone know how to sync iBooks between Mac and iPhone?
    This issue has been puzzled me for a while, hope can find a way out here, many thanks~

    Under iTunes / File / Devices ?
    But I did not see my iPhone under this section...
    Only see those 4 options:
    Sync "my iPhone"
    Transfer Purchases from "my iPhone"
    Back Up
    Restore from Backup
    Could you describe a bit more precise?
    Many thanks~

  • How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

    How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
    I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
    How to do this, without iCloud?

    You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want.  Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way.  While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe. 
    Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

  • ICloud not syncing bookmarks to Lion from iOS 6

    Has anyone had issues with iCloud not syncing bookmarks to Lion from iOS 6?

    Not yet...
    On the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
    On an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Safari off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

  • 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.

  • Google cal sync issues between mac and iPhone?

    Just noticed this morning that my iphone is not syncing with my mac calendar and google calendar, but only for past events with just one specific calendar? I seemed to have lost all the previous events up through today for that specific cal? New events seem to be created OK, but if I change the event to a different calendar on my iphone, it duplicates it on my mac and google calendar showing the event in bith the original cal and the one I swithched it to. I checked google sync and cal div and all the appropriate calendars are selected. I did also have icloud cal selected on my iphone which I unchecked. I just updated to 10.8.2 on my mac a few days ago and it got hung up during install...had to hard restart the mac. Dont know if that could have something to do with it? Anyone else having issues with this?

    You should ask in the MobileMe forums as this forum (iSync) has nothing to do with syncing Macs to MobileMe.

  • Syncing PDFs between iBooks and iOS devices

    Hello everyone,
    I just ordered an iPad Air. I wanted one for a long time, and one of the things that I am most after is the ability to read PDF documents anywhere I want. I have been organizing my eBooks and PDFs in iBooks, and I was under the impression that this meant I would be able to see the collection on my iOS devices and download them to those devices when I needed them. But I guess it's not that simple, is it?
    As I don't yet have the iPad with me, I have been trying to sync what I see in iBooks to my iPhone 4S, but I only see one mqtching book on both the Mac and the iPhone, and that's one book purchased from iBooks itself. Then there's one free ebook that was also downloaded inside iBooks, from the computer, but does not show in the iPhone. Adding to this, none of the PDFs I have organized inside iBooks will show up on the iPhone.
    Am I doing something wrong? Any of you successfuly organizing ebooks and PDFs in iBooks and seeing them on your iOS devices? What should I try?
    I'm on the latest Mavericks update and all the mentioned apps are updated. Also, the iPhone is running the latest update of iOS7.
    Thank you so much.

    Well, nevermind. It suddenly decided to start syncing, somehow! Not sure what I did to make it work though.
    Anyway, this is still not what I was expecting. The only way to synchronize what I have in iBooks with the iOS devices, is through iTunes, and I need to be in the same network, right?
    I thought this would be something more like iTunes Match, where I could have all my ebooks and PDFs up in the Cloud and download them to my devices whenever I needed them.
    Do you know if there's any app providing this type of system?
    Thanks a lot.

  • TS4002 sync mail between mac and iPhone

    how sync mail between mac book and iphone

    usually it an effortless process, you just need to set up your accounts on both. Exchange and imap will do the work for you, pop account may require some additional settings changes on mac. Setting that are necessary to change with pop account can be found here.

  • ITunes could not sync contacts ... because the iPhone disconnected

    I had both an iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (2nd gen w/ 3.0 software) syncing to Mobile Me and to my mac. All seemed well except I had a few duplicate entries in contacts. In trying to clean up the duplicates in MobileMe syncing I turned off contact syncing on the phone then turned it back on again. Then I started getting the following error.
    iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "iPhone" because the iPhone disconnected.
    I've: reinstalled iTunes, completely wiped the iPhone back to factory, Forced a refresh of MobileMe from the Mac to Mobile Me.etc. Symptoms seem to be getting worse instead of better. Now the iPod touch is also screwed up and has the same error as above except for the reference to iPhone.
    Current status:
    iPhone: Contacts - Had a mess, but I seem to have it working. One set of contacts. Calendar - will not sync with Mac. Synced to MobileMe, but empty. Get spinning network activity symbol when in Calender app.
    iPod Touch - Calendar will not sync with Mac. blank synced with Mobile me but empty, Contacts has the separate On my Mac and Mobile Me group listings, but otherwise seems ok. Syncs with Mac.
    iPod Nano - Contacts seem ok, Calendar seems ok,
    MobileMe - Once I reset it seems ok.
    Other info that may or may not apply. There are two other Macs synced by MobileMe. I've reset them as well. Multiple user accounts on each machine.

    By wiping both iPhone and iPod and trying syncing with another computer I've come to the conclusion that something with MobileMe sync is the problem.
    I can set up both to work fine with my Mac Pro and a new Mac Book Pro as long as I don't set up MobileMe syncing. As soon as I sync with MobileMe I start having problems, particularly with Calendar.
    MobileMe seems to work fine computer to computer, until the iPhone/iPod get involved, then the MobileMe copy gets messed up. Version on computer seems to stay ok.
    Not sure where to go from here... other than call Apple or go to the Apple Store.

  • ITunes could not sync contacts or iCal to the iPhone sync server failed

    *+iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "Username" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone+*
    I have read most of the post on this subject and have tried most of the solutions as they applied to me however resulting in same error message as above.
    I have performed the following:
    1. Reset iSync History
    2. Installed the latest version of iTunes 7.5.2
    3. Installed the latest version of iPhone software 1.1.2
    4. Removed folders and files from the Library.
    What I haven't done and only will do as a last resort.
    1. Reinstall Tiger
    2. Purchased and Installed Leopard
    3. Restore iPhone settings
    Does anyone have a viable solution? Thanks in advance!

    I called Apple Tech Support and spoke with a Product Specialist. He helped me resolved the issue.

  • ICloud not syncing Contacts or Calendar events on iOS 5 devices after MobileMe migration

    On either of my devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) I cannot get my contacts or calendar events to appear correctly, both devices crash the contacts or calendars apps when I access them.
    I first upgraded to ios5 and iTunes 10.5 (Which bricked my iPhone 5 times in a row with error 3012)
    I then migrated from MobileMe to iCloud and all of my Contacts/Calendars are appearing correctly online at iCloud.com.  However my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 will simply refuse to sync with the contacts and calendars...
    My iPhone and iPad literally freeze when I try disable the iCloud services, I have restored both devices numberous times and started the iCloud service in MANY different steps.  I have even used both my mac and PC to restore my devices.
    I have been trying to fix this for two days now, I am extremely disapointed with iCloud, and I sorely wished I had of stayed with my MobileMe service.  I initally thought this would be server contact issues, but there HAS to be something wrong with my devices, or sync services.
    Surely other users have encounted this error, I would love to know the strategies used to resolve this.

    I thought I might post here and update my solution thus far..
    1. Restored my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, and did not select iCloud.
    2. iCloud working fine on the macbook pro, so I exported my contacts from iCloud to the vCards.
    3. Turned icloud contacts off on my macbook pro (iCloud calendars remained on)
    4. Synced iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with my macbook pro
    5. now my iOS 5 devices sync my contacts and calendar locally with my macbook pro
    6. Turned on iCloud only for my email, notes and documents.
    Word to the wise: Stay clear of iCloud, WAY too many issues, especially for MobileMe migration customers.

  • IPhone iCal iCloud issues!  Not pushing info between Mac and phone.

    My ical on my iPhone will not sync with ical on my desktop.  No data is pushed between devises even though I have set it up to automatically update.  All the calendars are listed as on the cloud, yet still no movement back and forth.  Please help!

    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.

  • Icloud document sync issue between ipad and mac

    So was very excited when mountain lion could sync my spreadsheets (numbers) documents with my iPad, but having a weird issue (I think).
    So I took one of my spreadsheets from my Mac, and moved to iCloud. Opened it up in Numbers (Mac), made a few changes, and saved it.
    Now I go on my iPad, I see it. I open it up - great.
    Now for some reason, I have a duplicate spreadsheets named 'Untitled'. I have no idea how it got there, I am not sure what happens if I delete it (or if I should).
    Anybody know whats up with this?
    Thanks -

    When you place a document into iCloud from your Mac and then try to open it on a mobile device, you will be given the option of opening the original document or opening a copy. It sounds to me that you have chosen to open a copy.

  • Airdrop between Mac and iOS does not work

    I am using a MBP (early 2011) OS X 10.10  and a iPhone 5s iOS 8.0.2 and I cant get a airdrop connection between them. Same WiFi and Bluetooth is on.
    I bet my MBP is too old and does not support some kind of Bluetooth standard....correct? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hey guys,
         Just wanted to put my 2 cents in and say that using my iPhone 5S and MacbookPro Early 2011 I was able to use both the SMS relay feature and the Phone call receive feature. So I'm not sure where the line is drawn for certain continuity features. I haven't had any handoff features work yet which I don't expect to happen since seamlessly moving something like a Pages files to different devices to continue working on would suggest the need for efficient Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities.
        I'm really surprised that they limited the Airdrop from iOS to OS X to the 2012 or older mac models. I mean the bluetooth hardware in the iPhone should be backwards compatible so I see no reason why it couldn't be done between older macs that supported the mac-to-mac feature but didn't have Bluetooth 4.0. just means ill be using the instashare app to take its place... hopefully hey update with some iOS 8 extensibility features, that would make it a perfect solution.

  • Sync contacts onto Mac and then onto iCloud?

    Hello all,
    Happy holidays!
    I have an iPhone 4, latest software, and a MBP running 10.7.2. I'm trying to do with iCloud what I successfully and easily did with MobileMe, which is sync contacts from the MBP and iPhone manually through iTunes, in a 2-way sync. After the sync, I'm trying to get the contacts to then sync from my Address Book on my Mac to iCloud via a manual sync.
    The 2-way sync goes fine as long as iCloud has contacts unchecked under Accounts in System Preferences. However, when I turn it back on, the option of syncing my info in iTunes is automatically turned off and I have to go through the whole rigamorole again and again.
    Is this possible? Is it possible to sync to the On My Mac group and then have it updated to iCloud without having iTunes shut it off?
    I know I can manually update everything via Vcard exports and lots of management but I'm hoping to avoid that.
    Who would have ever thought we'd miss the good ole' days of MobileMe?
    Thanks!

    Finally, iCloud updated and I have contacts everywhere. My iPhone 3GS still had the old mobileme login/password combo. It took three tries, but iPhone relented and accepted the new login info. Now I have contacts and calendar on iCloud, mac and iPhone.
    Merry Christmas, all!
