  • ICloud not syncing across all devices

    I have a macbook pro, iphone 4, and iMac.  Both computers are running Lion and my iphone 4 is up to date.
    I believe I set up iCloud correctly on all three devices.  However, only the iMac and the iPhone seem to be syncing properly.  For some reason, mail sent from me.com via my macbook pro doesn't show up in my other devices.  Also, iCal entries made on my macbook pro are also not showing up.
    Is there a quick fix?  Some kind of setting somewhere that I need to change?  All help appreciated.

    mail.
    Try turning mail and notes syncing off and on again on the MacBook.
    calendars.
    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 not syncing on all devices

    iCloud is not syncing any documents I make through pages, whether I create the document on my iPad, iPhone or my Macbook Air. It says it is syncing, but never does. I started a document earlier this week on my Mac and finished it on this last Friday, and only 2/3 of it is available on my other devices. I created a new document on my iPhone today and it is still syncing, or trying to.
    Devices and computers have been restarted and checked. I have enough storage. I would think that I cloud is experiencing issues but Apple is showing green lights across the board.
    Is anybody else experiencing any issues? or maybe have a solution?

    To change the iCloud account you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
    If the old ID is not an earlier version of your new ID and your password is not accepted when you delete the account, you will have to contact the Apple account security team for assistance resetting the password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

  • My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • I have one icloud account sync with two devices. I made a note on my iphone. Suddenly it lost and all i see is note from my ipad. Is there any way to restore the note? Help me pls. Thanks.

    Please help me as my note from iphone lost when it sync with another device. How can i restore back the note?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs. I have previously suggested ways to recover contacts, calendars etc, and other users have confirmed that they work, as such I am making the following suggestions to recover lost notes, but please note, as yet success is unconfirmed ***.
    Recovering your notes is quite time consuming, you may wish not to save all your notes to save some time, if they are not of importance.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Open the 'Notes' app, and open your first note (assuming your deleted notes have now been restored).
    Select the share option at the foot of the screen (rectangle with arrow) and choose mail.
    Send the email to yourself (If they won't send, save them to draft)
    Repeat steps 7 & 8, until you have copied all the notes you wish to save to email.
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and make sure 'Notes' syncing is enabled.
    Open the 'Notes' app, check that iCloud notes have reverted to how they were before starting the restore.
    Open the 'Mail' app and open the first email you sent yourself and copy the text you want in the note.
    Open the 'Notes' app and create a new note in the iCloud, paste the text you copied.
    Go to iCloud.com on a computer and check that the note has synced to iCloud.
    Repeat steps 12, 13 & 14 until you have recovered all your notes.
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.
    *** As a matter of protocol, anything that I can’t test myself will need to be confirmed by at least 5 individuals before I’m willing to accept it as confirmed. At this time only 2 individuals have confirmed it to work.

  • Entries on desktop iCal do not sync with mobile devices.

    I am running OSX 10.7.3 on my 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac. iPhone running 5.1.1
    Starting recently, entries I make on my desktop iCal do not sync thru the Cloud to the browser iCloud Calendar or my iPhone Calendar or my IPad Calendar.
    My email, my Contacts sync just fine.
    An iCal entry on my iPhone will sync with all mobile devices and the Cloud browser but do not sync to the iMac. In fact, all transactions from any mobile device and browser based Cloud all sync just fine between devices and iMac.  All but the iCal transactions.  They do not sync to the iMac or from the iMac
    Suggestions, please!

  • Text Shortcuts on Mac not syncing with iOS Devices

    It appears that my iOS devices are syncing text shortcuts, because when I add/remove one from one device, it's replicated on the other devices. 
    However, text shortcut changes made on my Mac ( Macbook Air, latest Mavericks version ) are not replicated to the iOS devices, and vice-versa.  It's like my iPad and iPhone have decided to share with each other , and ignore my Mac.
    I tried deleting the com~apple~Textinput folder, but that did not have any effect. I also tried turning iCloud off and on on my Mac, and that did not help, either.
    Ideas on how to fix this?

    I figured it out, I turned off Document syncing on all devices, then deleted the ~Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput folder instead of the subfolders that I deleted the first time, Then  I turned document syncing back on (warning , all text shortcuts are gone! ) on my Mac, and then on my iOS devices.
    It took a few minutes for my devices to catchup, but they all went to zero text shortcuts, and I was able to create a new text shortcut on each device and have it replicate to the other devices.
    While this fixed my problem, it's a good idea to back up your text shortcuts to another program( evernote? ) in case you need to do what I just did to fix a syncing issue.

  • Contacts and Calendar not sync across all devices

    Installed mavericks a few weeks ago.  Just looked at a contact on my iPad and iPhone and noted that changes made on my MacBook Pro are not showing up on either of these 2 devices.  What is going on?  I used to sync manually using iTunes.  Tried this just now and does not update info in either calendar or contacts.  I used to see :syncing Calendar, syncing contacts in the window describing progress - this does not appear.
    Very very confused. Syncing across all devices very important.  spend a lot of time in rural areas with no access to wi-fi.  Am I trapped in iCloud only? if so How does that work??   Help!

    Still confused - now I have multiple copies of the same event on my MacBook Pro, and iPad, and not at all on my i iPhone, 
    Just created a dummy contact on my iPad, and it appeared on MacBook Pro but not on iPhone. turned off iPhone and turned back on and new contact appeared.
    My calendar on iPhone has no data from the time I started using Mavericks until a dummy event I added this afternoon.  Do I need to turn my iPhone off and then back on to get it to sync? even with turning off and on the missing calendar items have not appeared.
    I am a bit reluctant (afraid) to go to the web and look at my iCloud.com account for fear of sending yet another copy of the same calendar appointments  and duplicate contacts / contacts info to myself on my devices.  I have multiple copies of the same contact on my MacBook Pro. some of the contacts have 3 or 4 duplicates of the same information - example "home phone" or "e-mail address."  Sometimes I have 3 or 4 copies of the same contact card. 
    Hope you are having a better day, I am completely confused and more than a bit frustrated.  Has anyone written an app to replace sync services in Mavericks?  I would gladly pay for it!

  • ICloud not syncing with Outlook 2011 using Lion

    My problem is bizarre and the more I seem to troubleshoot the worse it gets.  Since I only just bought my MacBook Pro, Lion was already installed.  I had an old MacBook and the transition was seemless until ICloud came along yesterday morning.  I signed up of course, as I knew I would eventually be forced to anyway and transitioned from MeMobile.  Now I have problems.  No sync between my Outlook 2011 and Address Book and ICloud.  I have been trying to find a solution and have tried the following:
    1. Deleted all the contacts in Address Book and reimported them from Outlook.  This worked fine and Address Book synced with ICloud.  However, when I made changes in Outlook, they would not sync with Address Book and thus not sync with ICloud.  The reverse was also true, i.e. changes and additions in ICloud or Address Book do not sync with Outlook.
    2. I shut down my computer and restarted.  Then I reset the sync services.  The result: All my Outlook Categories and Contacts appeared in Address Book along with all the contacts in ICloud.  When I click on all contacts, I get duplicates of course.  The interesting thing though is the contacts in "All on My Mac" tab in Address Book do not match those in ICloud and ICloud won't sync between the two.  So as a result, the problem above persists.  I still do not get any syncing between Outlook and ICloud/Address Book.  (This by the way was the case before I deleted everything from Address Book and imported everthing from Outlook......so I am exactly in the same place I was before I started troubleshooting........going in circles at this point in time).
    By the way, everything works fine for e-mails.  However similar problem with ICal which has also doubled up on all info which was in ICloud and Outlook. I had a memobile account previous so ICloud just imported all that info I assume.  Also, everthing works fine between my IPhone and ICloud.  This is clearly an Outlook/Address Book Syncing problem.
    Any suggestions???

    iCloud does not use Apple sync services and Outlook for Mac is not compatible with iCloud, but you should be able to get the mail working.

  • Macbook mail not syncing with other devices after Maverick

    After downloading Maverick on my macbook as well as on my imac, the mail on my macbook is not syncing with my other devices.  My imac, iphone, and ipad are working and syncing as before downloading Maverick, but the mail in my macbook is not working properly.  I have already done all current updates, any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    Please disregard this post.  I've found the answer to my own question! 

  • My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

    My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

    Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
    For instance - if you want to sync music....
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

  • ICloud not syncing on IOS5 devices

    My iCloud is syncing correctly with my Outlook 2007 and iCloud.com.  But it is not syncing with any of my IOS5 devices (iPhone 4/iPad). On both of my IOS devices in the settings I am logged into iCloud and I have each of the options to sync turned on. But nothing is syncing with iCloud on my iOS devices.   
    I used mobile me for several years and it synced fine with Outlook/Mobileme/iPhone/iPad.  But after I made the move from Mobileme to iCloud yesterday, nothing is syncing betweenany of my IOS devices after I installed IOS5. Is anyone else having this issue?

    i just posted something that maybe related. I only found this post after the fact. my issue happened after i made some changes to my contacts folder in iCloud. Only iOS devices are affected.  PC and MACs are syncing okay.

  • Icloud not syncing with ical subscriptions

    iCloud is not syncing with the ical subscriptions that I have showing on my desktop.  Any ideas?

    I've been having same issue.
    Finally today followed iCloud Troubleshooting at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US . Quitting iCal then shutting down computer completely was biggest help amazingly. Also had to Refresh Calendars under View menu in iCal. All working now between Macbook Air, iPhone, and iPad. Good luck to you!

  • Notes on iCloud not syncing with computer

    I have notes on my iCloud account.  There are available online, on the iPad, and on the iPhone.  All 3 are synced together, but my computer will not sync with the iCloud account.  I have already turned off the Note toggle on the iCloud account preference, re-started my computer, and then turned the Note toggle back on.  It still will not download/sync the notes on the iCloud server.  Please help.

    Double-check that you haven't inadvertatly failed to select your iCloud account to view on your Mac (open Notes and click on the iCloud account on the left sidebar; if you don't see it, go to View>Show Folders List).
    Assuming that isn't the issue, if you haven't already tried signing out of your account, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in.  (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac but not from iCloud.  Your data will redownload when you sign back in.)
