ICloud not syncing on new imac.

I have a me.com user name.
have moved all information over to icloud.
iphone has picked it up ( new 4s)
mac at work has picked it up ( 2 years old)
These 2 sync fine
Brand new imac (Lion) has it's own few addreses in contacts/ mail/ calendar.
It's like I have 2 versions of what I have stored in cloud.
can anyone help to get imac to link?

Hello Winston,
Yep, all checked.
I pushed them over last night from the work mac (not Lion)
Mobile me asked to transfer to Cloud)
Instantly my iphone updated.
But I'm realising that it's mobile me old stuff that's syncing.
But when I go to my i cloud log in area, the only files I see are what is on the new imac ( Lion)
So which device is running the show? Any advice?

My account names for iCloud and iTunes is different, is this why my Iphone4 is not syncing with my iMac?

No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.

My ipod touch 3rd generation OS 5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method

If iTunes does not see the iPod:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

See

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

I used icloud to sync my new mini2 with my old ipad-3 do

I used icloud to sync my new mini2 with my old ipad-3 everything went fine. I use itunes to BU my ipad & mini, and do not need family icloud. Is there any reason to stay signed in to icloud with my devices. Won't my ipad & mini sync contacts, calender etc. to each other with out icloud?
Thanks!

Thanks Winston. I asked because I can't get my Mini2 calender to sync with my ipad or outlook calender. Trying to eliminate what I don't need. I have everything set up properly AFAIK. Do I need something like a Exchange account to get the Mini calender to sync, or should it sync automatically.
Ipad has been upgraded to iso 8.1.2. and it sync's to outlooks calender and vice versa, just Mini2 calender won't sync.
thanks

My iTunes will not sync any new songs that I've put in onto my phone.

My iphone 5s hasn't been backed up to my Icloud because my Icloud doesn't have enough space BUT I don't see how that correlates to Itunes not syncing my new music onto my phone. I have around 8 GB left on my phone so there shouldn't be a problem. Even when it says that it has synced, I'll go onto my music on my phone and it won't have those songs in the recently added playlist or on my phone at all.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/20053939 - "If it is much more than a gb or so, then it indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve." "If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup." - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20054011

ICloud not syncing existing data?

I have setup iCloud on my ipad, iphone. Why is it not syncing any of my stuff? Example.... My iphone has all my contacts, ipad doesnt yet. after iCloud was setup, my ipad STILL did not grab anything from my phone, ie..contacts, calender, etc. BUT if I add a contact or create a new to do on my ical they will all sync. Does iCloud not sync existing data??

same issue, looks like nobody answered you from last JULY....

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?

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 contacts and calenders on my IPAD not syncing with my IMAC

My contacts, mail and calenders on my IPAD are not syncing with my IMAC properly. My IPhone seems to sync with IPAD okay.
Also, on my IPhone I have subfolders for a second email account, but on my IPAD and IMAC I can only access subfolders from one email account.
Please help

For Mail in order to have subfolders the email account must be an IMAP account. Check on the iPad in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > the email account in question to make sure the correct account type is selected.
If your ad is not syncing your Contacts and Calendars to the other devices go to Settings and make sure iCloud is on and you're signed in to the same iCloud account as on your other devices. Then make sure that Contacts and Calendar syncing is turned on.

Putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac

putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac. It did when I first bought iPhone, how can I sync automatically?

Could be a bunch of reasons. Do you have icloud setup on both devices? Can you give us more details of your setup? Make sure you have the calendar set to sync in the icloud system settings. Also make sure you are set to sync said calendar. I was checking my settings and realized that you may or may not be using icloud for calendaring. On your phone in settings/mail, contacts, calendars/ you have the ability to select what and which calendars you want to sync. Make sure it is configured appropriately.

Is there a toggle or setting that needs to be changed.
I've looked but no joy.
