ICloud syncs to iOS devices but not OSX devices on my home network.
While setting up Photostream, I discovered that iCloud does not seem to push to OSX devices, but it does to iOS devices.
For example, I set up Aperture on my MacPro. I enabled Photostream on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. When I take a photo on my iPhone, Photostream automatically pulls it to my iPad. On my Mac, nothing happens. All devices are on the same network.
Looking more into this, I tested my iCal sync, and that also does not push. I can "Refresh" the calendars and it finds them, but it will not push.
It is important to know...
1. My mac WILL sync Photostream if I disable and re-enable it, or if I disconnect my internet and reconnect it. It just doesnt automatically sync - even after hours.
2. My brother came over with his MacBook Pro and iPhone. His MacBook Pro has the exact same behavior as mine.
3. I have tried:
-Creating a new user on my computer and trying there.
-Opening up router port 5223 and set it to forward to my MacPro. No success.
-Using iPhoto to sync Photostream - no go.
-Resetting Photostream.
Please help!!! This issue defeats the entire purpose of Photostream for me!
Thanks,
Adam
Yes this worked perfectly, there is a tense moment when all your calendar appointments disappear, but once you sign and restart calendar, they all reappear.
Thanks Csound1!

ICloud syncing iPhones and iPad but not to iCloud nor my Mac
I have two iPhones, an iPad and two MacBooks. iCloud is used for syncing the content. This all works ok, except for the Address book. Address book content is synced only between the iDevices but neither to the iCloud Web-Portal nor to my Macs. This is very puzzling because I thought all the synchronization is done through iCloud, so how can the iCloud Portal and my Macs be left out. Especially given the fact, that the calendar sync works perfectly.
Here's what I did to verify:
- create a new address record named "test iPhone" on my iPhone. The record shows up on my iPad, but not in the web and not on my Macs
- create a new address record named "test iPad" on my iPad. The record show up on my iPhone, but not on the web and not on my Macs.
- create a new address record named "test Mac" on my Mac. The record shows up in the web and on my iDevices
- create a new address record named "test Web" via iCloud web interface. The record shows up on my Macs, but not on the iDevices
any ideas?You can have each individual service turned on or off, so while you may not be using 2 iCloud accounts, it is perfectly possible to use 2 accounts and get exactly the results you are getting.
Why don't you look to see if you are using 2 accounts, you could check settings > mail, contacts and calendars on your phone and iPad or just look at the contacts app. -
I have all my devices set up with the same iCloud id. Though, when I create a new contact on my iPhone, it syncs to my iPad, but not to my macbook, and not to www.icloud.com.
Is anyone having similar problems ?If I go to the My Account Settings (clicking on my name on the Home page of iCloud) the Apple ID indicates [email protected]
That is not my Apple ID (at least as far as I am concerned!)
As I indicated, my iCloud email account in the iCloud web page only shows a few very old emails, none more recent than early August.
The iCloud control panel on my PC is the most current as of today.
Keep the ideas coming.
So far, been there- done that on everything suggested :-) -
Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.
First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

Using iCloud, my iCloud calenda is syncing with my iPhone but not with the Outlook calendar on my PC (Windows 7)

I agree. What I see is that it is creating an icloud calendar in Outlook but I want it to sync to Outook itself.
That is what it does. There is no sync, you have a new calendar. -
Hi all,
Would you know whether there is an incompatibility between iPad2 and outlook 2010 calendar? I can sync outlook appointmens down to the device but not up to the computer calendar. The same occurs with my iPhone 4, can sync appointments down to the device, but not back up to the computer. Any help appreciated!Most computer's USB ports do not have enough power to charge iPads while they are active. An iPad will charge while in sleep mode, but very slowly.

My iPhone4 docks correctly with some devices but not others, please help!
Hi,
Firstly spologies if this is old news but sometimes its easier to 're-ask' than trawl thousands of pages!.....
I have a 3-year old iPhone 4 that has developed a problem which i'm trying hard to solve;
*Phone used to dock fine with anything and everything - this was about 1 year ago.
*for no apparent reason it ceased docking with my Bose Soundock and a Logic3 accessory dock (connected to a hi-fi) at home
*symptoms were; it would charge and operate as normal whilst docked but would not play music through either (the Logic3 dock did not acknowledge it was docked). Otherwise it would sync and connect normally with iTunes, etc. and connected fine when plugged into my car.
*I reset it, restored it from back-up, updated/reinstalled iOS (this has since updated at least twice) with no other effects. Also checked and reset all settings.
*I subsequently bought a Pure Contour dock as I was able to try it in the shop and my phone worked with it, plus it has Airplay anyway. I have since, in an attempt to find a bedside DAB radio/alarm dock that works with it, found that it works fine with some devices but not others with no rhyme or reason as to which.
*2 days ago I changed out the docking port myself using a cheap replacement bought from Amazon, to see if it would cure.
* now the problem is reversed! The Bose and Logic3 docks I have, that it wouldn't work on before, it now DOES....and the Pure dock and my car, which it DID work with before now fail to connect with it!
*just to reiterate this, my wife's gen3 and gen5 iPods dock and work faultlessly with all devices mentioned....and mine had done previously.
to my knowledge it is NOT;
- a compatibility issue. The phone used to work fine on everything I had. Then it stopped. How's that?!
- a connector issue. The male connectors on all docks haven't changed.......and the female connector in my phone has changed from liking selected devices to then liking the others!! (it is female after all ;-) !)
-a software issue. iOS has been updated and the phone wiped and restored and all sorts so many times I can;t see how it can be!
could it be a problem with the data exchange between phone and device when it is docked??
or do I really need to try changing the port for an 'official' one??
or is it just broken and that's that?!It's either a problem with the connector on your phone (dirt, lint, bent pin, corrosion) or with its connection to the motherboard inside. Cleaning the connector is a good place to start; either a dry toothbrush, air blast can or wood toothpick. Next inspect it carefully with a good magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe. If nothing turns up it is probably damage inside, which will be difficult to fix. Aren't you due for an upgrade about now? Your iPhone 4 is 3 generations out of date!

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?
How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?
There is no way to delete songs from an iPod.
Nothing will be touched on your iPod in regards to iTunes content with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer if you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the simple instructions included with the link provided. Certainly as a Windows user you maintain a backup for all important data which should include your iTunes library? Important regardless the platform but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. Or do most Windows users start with a new computer from scratch without transferring any data from an old computer to a new computer due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns?
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only from an iPod - really. As the largest distributor for music and as #1 by far in MP3 player sales, this is required by those who own the distribution rights for the music. Part of an effort to prevent or minimize stealing music by those who own the distribution rights. -
I am having trouble synching all 1700 songs that I just put into iTunes Music Match onto my iPod Classic device. It worked on my iTouch and iPad devices but not the Classic. How do I transfer the music successfully
It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
- Unsyncing all music and resysncing
- Restoring the iPod

How does my spouse get the benefits of using my iCloud for contacts and calanders but not messages, etc?
iCloud is designed for personal use and not for managing multiple access. If you gives your password to someone else, this person can benefit everything including access to purchase with your account, email, etc.
You should rather consider having each one an iCloud account and then, create and share a calendar. As for contact, you can send them to your spouse to be save in her account but they cannot be shared nor synced. -

My home made videos sync to my iphone but not my ipad?
I have some GoPro videos I've editted and saved as 720P HD movies. I have them loaded in iTunes. I have synced them successuflly to my iphone, but they refuse to sync to my iPad2. I am using iOS 7.0.3 on both (updated iPad to 7.0.4 last night and still won't sync). I've tried a bunch of different things but nothing seems to be working. Same files sync to iphone 4S, but not iPad2.
Might, but also shouldn't since you're talking wifi not cellular.
Have you tried to power cycle your router? Unplug it, wait 10 seconds or so, then plug it back in.
