ICloud playlist are not updated correctly, iCloud playlist are not updated correctly

I have configured multiple iTunes playlists on my iMac (which is using iTunes Match).
Some of these are not properly updated on my iPhone 4S.
For example I had a playlist folder Genre and in there a Sports (just a simple playlist, not even a smart one).
I decided to move the Sports playlist to the toplevel so that I can more quickly access it when running.
Well this playlist just remains in the Genre folder on my iPhone... I tried killing the Music.app, rebooting the iPhone.
Nothing works.
I renamed the folder from Genre to Test on my iMac and now I see the Sports list in the Test folder on my iPhone.
What is going on ? How can I properly organize my playlists/smartplaylists so that they sync correctly (including re-arranging or renaming playlists) ?

When I disable iTunes match on my iPhone4S, quit the Music.app and then re-enable the iTunes Match on my iPhone4S it suddenly starts working. I don't want to do that everytime I changed my playlist on my iMac!!!

Some playlists and/or songs "not eligible for iCloud"

I have a playlist that contains only music but iTunes Match refuses to upload it, saying it contains "other media types".
Having thoroughly gone through the contents of the playlist, I have found one song, a Frank Sinatra .mp3 ripped from a CD I own, that is listed as "not eligible for iCloud", as well as 4 songs marked by iCloud as "duplicates"
I have tried manually adding the Frank song to iCloud but its status remains unchanged.
The song, in mono, is a 733K MP3
I had to convert it to AAC which nearly quadrupled the size of the file to 3.2 MB and now it's uploaded...
However the status of the playlist remained unchanged until I also removed the "duplicates"
a) iCloud should nevertheless sync playlists, minus the ineligible tracks
b) or you should get a warning that it won't sync the playlist, and better error reporting so you can actually understand what the issue is, as opposed to the usually vague "iCloud doesn't like your track, but won't tell you why" message...
c) duplicate tracks in playlists should automatically (or after a prompt) be replaced by the original track that is in iCloud.
iTunes Match, you have wasted many hours of my time despite my well organized and healthy library.
Argh.

HT4489 Ever since the last update IOS5.1.1, calendar entries are not saved on Icloud, and would not sync on all I clould devices

After the last update of IOS5.1.1, all caledar entries are not saved on Icloud and thus not synced on all my Icloud devices, even though, spreadsheets are synced, photostream is working and contacts is syncing, only calendar items. Anybody has the same problem? Or a solution to this kind or problem?

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.

My mac contacts are not updating through icloud?

I am puting new conacts on my phone and ipad but they are not being updated through to my mac any ideas?

Please try the following…
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

While my iphone (6 plus) is synced with icloud, the contacts on icloud are several years old! My phone shows that it was backed up this morning to icloud. Any ideas on why icloud is not updated with my contacts?

TS3988 The calendar items that I have updated on my desktop recently are not uploading to my phone. I'm not even sure iCloud is working at all for me right now. I have received a message that my @me account needs a password, but I have another apple ID in

Please help!

Your me address does not necessarily have to be the same as your ID. If you are receiving messages about your password in regard to your me address that is related to your ID, this may well be an issue with mail only. However you should check System preferences> iCloud, to make sure you are logged into the correct account.
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.

I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss
how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

Mac Contacts changes are not updated on iCloud

My Mac and iPad are both linked to iCloud. Almost everything syncs perfectly. In Contacts I can make changes/additions on the iPad or in iCloud on the web, and the changes propagate to the others, including the Mac.
HOWEVER, if I make changes to Contacts on the Mac, they do NOT appear in iCloud or the iPad.
What do I need to check to find the problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

I havent used my ipod in a long time so it needs to update on icloud but everytime i have it on all it does is ask for a bunch of passwords that it says are wrong even though they are correct. I am trying to restore my ipod but cant

I cant turn off find my ipod so that i can restore it on itunes. I cant turn it off bcause of the multitude of popups asking for my password which i enter correctly but it says it is incorrect.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Note:
After you restore you will still have to endter the Apple ID and password for the iCloud account used on the iPod
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
To recover use of the iCloud account you have to reset the password. You do that the same way as an Apple ID password
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.

TS3999 My calendar events on my PC are not being update in iCloud. Why not?

My calendar events on my PC are not being update in iCloud. I made this happen one time by deleting iCloud on my PC and then reloaded it to the iCloud. I thought it was to keep all calendars in sync no matter what device was used. What am I doing wrong? It appears you can only go one way, iCloud to PC unless you turn off Icloud on PC and reload PC entries.

Thank you very much for your help!
I did the three points you mentioned above, the thing is that I can publish, but I would have to unpublish the latest issue in order to be able to read the new one, actually it is necesary to archive the last issue in order to see the new one.
What can I do?? it is very important to me!!!
I need to publish a very importan magazine
Thank you very much for your help1

TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps.

Playlist does not sync with icloud

i sorted my playlist by "kind" and I have x types of files in it: AAC Audio files, MPEG audio files, Protected AAC audio files, and Purchased AAC audio files. However iCloud is telling me that "the playlist is not eligible for iCloud" because 'iCloud playlists can only contain music. Playlist contains other media types and will not be uploaded. HELP!
Which of the four types of audio files does icloud not like???????
When I first went iCloud, it uploaded the playlist flawlessly and i was able to access it on my iPhone. But now that it no longer uploads the playlist, i cannot get it on my iPhone.
Any ideas would be helpfull. I will gladly delete those files having issues but I just dont know what files it is having issues with.
thanks

I read in another post that all I had to do was to go to iTunes, sign out of your id, and then relog back into the id, and then turn iTunes Match back on. Thanks Forum!!!
