ICloud not Syncing Documents/App Data

I got an iPhone 5s this morning, and had previously updated my iPad and iPhone 4S to iOS 7 two days ago.  I've noticed today that iCloud seems to not be syncing properly for me.  Day One, which uses iCloud for syncing data, perpetually tries to upload from the iOS device but doesn't seem to be reaching the server.  Similarly, when I create an entry on one of the two Macs that I sync with iCloud they do not appear on one another.  Furthermore, when loading Pages in iOS on the new phone, I don't see any of my documents.  I see many of them on the Mac, which I assume are locally cached.  I've turned off Document syncing and turned it back on, and have restarted all devices a number of times.  Is there anything I can do besides wait for Apple to straighten itself out?  Is anyone else having a similar problem?

The previous account was not a MobileMe account prior. Also, it has been syncing perfectly fine for the past two years with Mountain Lion, Lion and iOS 5 up.
As far as getting the data from when I got to counter the other it's not a simple task. You have to make sure you go into each of your apps that currently use documents in the cloud and turn off documents in the cloud for each of the apps. This way, when you remove the iCloud account from settings but it will not remove the associated data from each of the apps. In other words, before you remove the old iCloud account, by turning off documents in the cloud for each of the individual apps The data contained in iCloud documents should be converted into local data within each application. Then after you delete the account and sign in using the new iCloud account go back into each of these applications and turn iCloud syncing back on. This will force the app to move the now local data into the new iCloud accounts document sync sandbox.
The thing to be particularly careful about is making sure that the applications that use documents in the cloud are no longer set up to do so before you remove the old I cannot account. Because when you remove the old I cannot account it will delete all associated documents in the cloud from the device. However, if you have already turned off documents on a per app basis the data contained in iCloud will have already been moved into the local sandbox.
As an added safety measure I would first try to export the data in anyway possible for each of the applications.  If the application offers some way of getting your data out of it such as emailing a backup archive make sure and perform this routine as an added safety measure.

  • ICloud not uploading current app data.

    My Mac, Macbook Air & iPad are set up for iCloud and sync data and update apps between themselves flawlessly.  While setting up a new iPad I discovered the data iCloud synced to the device dates to 2011.  ICloud has apparently not uploaded anything for the past 2 years.  My other devices will not sync to the new iPad.
    Running 10.9 & 7.0.4
    Is there a way to get iCloud working properly again?

    Hi OWMaulsby,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like the account may be different on the new device versus the rest of the devices.  I would start by comparing the settings for the new iPad to the settings for the older iPad.
    This article has steps you can take to troubleshoot, for example, the Contacts data type, but may resolve the issue for all of the data types:

  • IOS Still Won't Sync Documents and Data

    For about four months I haven't been able to use iCloud's documents and data on my iOS devices.  AppleCare have tried to help but I'm still getting nowhere.
    If I open an iWork app on my Mac it shows me the files which are stored on iCloud.  I can go into Safari, upload or delete a file and it's reflected live in the apps on my Mac.  If on my iOS devices I open up, say, Pages and I'm met with the lone "Getting Started" document.  I've gone into the iCloud settings and documents and data is on and then checked the settings in Pages, Keynote, and Numbers and they're all set up to use iCloud.
    I have toggled these iCloud settings, deleted my iCloud account across the Mac, iPad, and iPhone and the iOS devices are still not showing any of my documents. I've gone as far as resetting my iPhone and iPad to factory settings, restoring the devices and still getting nothing. I even formatted and did a clean install of Mountain Lion on my Mac but still no luck.
    If I go to Settings > General > Usage, iCloud > Manage Storage and look at Documents & Data > Pages -- it displays a list of the files up on iCloud.  Same with Keynote and Numbers.
    The iOS side can see the documents up in iCloud but won't show them in the appropriate iWork apps while the Mac and iCloud sync quite happily.  I should say that Calendars, Mail, Reminders – everything but documents and data – work perfectly.  Just documents and data.  AppleCare had engineers reset my account but still no luck.
    Has anyone had a similar experience?
    Thanks

    Hmmm, I'm able to sync fine with Outlook 2003. Unfortunately, the iPhone won't sync with any Outlook versions prior to that one.
    I was upset and frustrated too, but some savvy net searching yielded a fully licensed, legit copy of Outlook 2003 for less than $40. I actually like it better than previous versions of Outlook and see it as a great upgrade, and it syncs with the iPhone. Upon installation, it brought over my old Calendar, Contacts, etc. It's all there.
    I've ditched using Yahoo! calendar and contacts as I never felt comfortable with putting my friends and family's information on the internet.
    Hope this helps. Cheers!

  • Can one Sync select apps data from say a desktop G5 to a MBP?

    I was wondering if iSync has the ability to sync certain apps data between a traveling MBP laptop and my everyday home desktop G5?
    For example, I want to just sync very specific things like:
    -my Captain FTP data so I can keep FTP data current on my laptop as it is my desktop where I mess with it most
    -1Password data so my updated 1Password access data from my daily desktop can get sync'd over to a MBP
    -Entourage User Identity "database"
    these are just examples and I am not even sure iSync is designed to do this type of sync and, can you even select what it syncs?
    if not, any other ideas other than just manual slow carry-over via target Disk Mode.

    No, iSync is only for syncing Contacts and Calendars between Address Book / iCal and non-Apple mobile phones.
    Google "ChronoSync" for something that may do what you want.

  • 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 syncing IE bookmarks from PC

    iCloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC
    I don't even use IE but since the Firefox app won't open the bookmarks in Safari, I thought I'd just copy my Firefox bookmarks to IE, then use the cloud sync.  (I am syncing and backing up to iCloud, and not my PC)
    I did this all last night: backed up and then synced to iCloud  Another thread  suggested that you shut down IE so I did that. Someone else had suggested on a different thread that un-checking and re-checking the Bookmark check box in the iCloud Control panel would trigger a re-sync...did that all last night in hopes it would sync and it didn't.
    I manually deleted everything in the Safari bookmarks in the Phone that it would allow, but now strangely enough in addition to the "Reading List" and "history" folders, I have TWO "Bookmarks Bar" folders with identical contents.
    So I'm trying to be patient and thought maybe it takes some time for it to re-sync so I left iTunes up and running on the PC overnight...as usual....so I tried again this evening. I still have my old bookmarks on the iPhone (4S), and they've never pulled in.
    Thoughts?

    Gee, I don't know what to tell you....I can open IE, add a folder, resync my iPhone to the iCloud, and the new folder appears. I even tried it while leaving IE open (I had read on another thread that closing it might help, but it had no adverse impact on my ability to sync).
    Well, all I can suggest is to give Safari a try, or use the Firefox app (unfortunately it's a multi-step process to open a link through Safari, but that might not bother you)
    Or, just run through these checkpoints one more time to make sure nothing is missed.
    Are you running Windows 7 or later, and have you downloaded the iCloud Control panel for Windows?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
    Do you have Bookmarks turned on in iCloud settings on your iOS device?
    You may have done exactly this, but if not, give this a try (and may help others in the future)
    Deselect Bookmark syncing in the iCloud control panel     on your PC.
    Deselect iCloud Bookmarks on your iOS device. It should     then prompt you to take action with the previously synced bookmarks on     your device. Choose "Delete from my iPhone (or whatever delete option     it gives you).
    Sync manually to the cloud through your iOS device. You should have no bookmarks on your device.
    Now turn everything back on...
    In the iCloud control panel, re-select     Bookmarks/Internet Explorer
    on your iOS device, re-enable iCloud Bookmark Syncing
    Now manually back up your iOS device to iCloud

  • My ipod will not sync new apps or music

    my son's ipod will not sync new apps or music.
    it is up to date, everything works fine that is on it
    i know my solution is to restore the ipod but in doing so he would lose his tap zoo (which would be devastating)
    so how do i get this ipod to sync without

    It sounds like you previously synced to a different computer.  Yo can only synce to one computer/iTunes Libray but you can manage music among different computer.  See:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    If you want to permanently change syncing computers best would be to move the backup file from your old computer and move it to the new computer and then restore your iPod from that backup.  For the location of the backup file see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    If you do not have the backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

    My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

    2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
    Is yours the original ipod touch?

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works

  • Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

    This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

    It is not Mac to Mac.
    Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
    Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

  • ICloud not syncing when you change default folder

    Hi,
    there seems to be an issue with iCloud not syncing photostream when you choose a different folder to store your pictures. Though if you'd still like to have your photostream pictures in a different folder, use my solution:
    1. Close all apple executables from task manager (ApplePhotStreams.exe, iCloudServices.exe)
    2. Remove C:\Users\<Username>\Pictures\iCloud Photos
    3. Create a symbolic link to the folder you'd like to use:
         Start a command prompt, and use the following command to create a symbolic link:
         mklink "C:\Users\<Username>\Pictures\iCloud Photos" "<newpath>"
         Where <newpath> is the path where you'd like to store your pictures.
    4. Start iCloud and sign out
    5. sign in again and apply settings
    6. Enjoy!

    No, what I am saying is that the ones that have it on by default seem to work properly. The ones that you have to go in and enable the feature do not seem to save to iCloud once that option has been enabled. I've ran into several:
    Don't save to iCloud (Have to go in an toggle the setting)
    Anomaly Warzone HD
    Zombieville USA
    Cut the Rope experiments
    DO save to iCloud (Setting is on by default)

  • Will the iTunes or iCloud backup retain the app data?

    Will the iTunes or iCloud backup retain the app data? I've app data which is very necessary! I've a game which I've taken 5 months to reach that height! Will I be able to retain it?

    iCloud backups retain app data. The only caveat to this is that each app's developer determines individually if they decide that their app will store data in an icloud backup. You can check this out by going to settings > icloud > storage and backup > manage storage > select your backup > then ensure that the app you're concerned about is switched to 'on'
