ICloud won't SYNC

I have just upgraded to Lion and migrated to iCloud from Mobile Me - Mail works well but my calendar and address book won't sync - I have checked all of the blocks in the iCloud system preferences - any ideas what to try next?

Open System Preferences then click Mobile Me. If it says you are moved to cloud then just make sure you are signed out. If you are NOT signed out, click sign out.
Sign in to cloud in a web browser and check hyour calendars there. If they are good there... go to System Preferences and sign out of the cloud. If not, back up your local calendars in iCal. Then sign out of cloud and back in (in System Preferences, keeping contacts as long as they are all good in cloud, else back those up locally too).
MobilleMe sometimes just doesn't get signed out and tries to keep syncing.

HT4858 Photostream/iCloud won't sync with PC.

Photostream/iCloud won't sync with PC. Everything is turned on, works for iPhone and iPad just not PC. Do not want to wipe phone to fix what should be a simple (and paid for) thing. Used to work fine but hasn't in a couple of months, even though no settings were changed. Please help

I have the same issue. My photos stopped on Nov.9th.
I just deleted and reinstalled version 3.1 and it took 90 pictures from my Photostream and transfered them to my PC
Thing is that I have 318 pics in my Photostream. The synching works fine between my iPhone 5S, iPad2, iPhone 3G and iPhone 5.
My wife is getting a iPad Air for Xmas so no idea of how it will work then but I assume it will be no problem.
I have Windows 7 and so does my mom on her laptop and PC which I also connected so I don't have to send her pics but she can just check. I had to update both machines to 3.1 and they only grabbed 85 pictures.
This is quite annoying when you live 500 kilometers apart and all worked fine until the latest updates.
Please Apple fix this asap as it's a lifeline for families all over the world

Icloud won't sync with my iMac 2013

Hi everybody
Maybe someone can help me out with the following issue. I bought me an Imac 27'' one month ago to replace my macbook pro which had become to small concerning the screen. I used the migration assistant to copy all of my data to my new Imac and everything went smooth except for my contacts. Icloud won't sync any addresses into the contact application and neither can I use a backup file to get my contacts into the application. Everything else works just fine with Icloud. I already tried to deactivate Icloud and reactivate it, but none did work. I thought that the update to 10.8.3 might help...but no it didn't. So here I am hoping that maybe someone out there might help me with this I'm sure tiny issue.
Greetings from Luxembourg and thanks in advance for your help.

Outlook and iCloud won't sync since Windows 8.1 upgrade

So I've finally figured out my problem, but have no solution. The problem is that ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.1, Outlook "forgets" that the iCloud add-in is enabled. Every time I start Outlook, I have to manually go into options and re-enable the add-in. After that, syncing calendars and contacts to iCloud and my iPhone works just fine. In order to fix this, I figured out that I can set Outlook to run as an administrator. Works perfectly, as in now having the add-in enabled automatically. I thought this was the end of my troubles, but now Outlook no longer syncs with iCloud. Tried everything, and it just won't.I read on another thread that Outlook won't sync when you run it as an administrator. And sure enough, switching back to NOT running it as an administrator fixed the problem, in that it now syncs again. However, I'm stuck with re-enabling the add-in every time I start Outlook. Is there no other way to do this?

I don't use playlists. Maybe as a workaround you could try music software other than Windows Media Player, like Media Monkey
http://www.mediamonkey.com/
And see if you have better luck.
The free version of Mediamonkey should do playlists for you; what you get with the Gold (paid) version, mostly, is an mp3 ripper, but you can also install an mp3 ripper without buying it.

ICloud won't sync with Office Documents on Windows Desktop - A huge limitation

I'm not able to sync my Macbook and iPhone to the Office documents on my Windows desktop. I want to use Pages on both my iPhone and Macbook to edit the Word documents I store on my Windows desktop.
This is very limiting and would force me to find another solution (I know many in this same situation). What will Apple do to address this?

Thanks Csound1. That's what I figured out. It is unfortunate, since I really wanted to use iCloud.
There are several other cloud services that support syncing documents between a Windows, OSX, and iOS platform without any restrictions. I could use them to cloud sync documents from my Windows desktop to either my iPhone or Macbook, and then use Pages, Numbers, or Keynote to update . The only tricky part is syncing it back to the cloud from my iPhone, which requires me to email the updates back and then manually update the sync file using sync management software (either Mac or Windows). Somewhat clugy and error prone, but it works until a better solution emerges. Perhaps a solution is around the corner -Microsoft is now developing new Office Suite products for iOS, OSX, and Windows, so perhaps this will be able to provide true cross platform compatability that many businesses need along with seamless cloud syncing.
I really hope Apple soon supports iCloud syncing of Office files to Windows. iCloud already supports syncing with Outlook on the Windows platform, so I can't see why Apple won't support syncing Office documents to a Windows platform. Every other cloud service supports this.

ICloud won't sync to my iPad. Worked fine last night!?

My iCloud works fine on my iPhone5, but it won't sync with my iPad. It started last night. I have followed the instructions on the support site, deleted and reinstalled several times and nothing. Argh! Any advice?? I have an important email hanging in the outbox. Thanks!!! :)

Is this how you sync them back to iPad? (Tap to enlarge image)

ICloud won't sync with my Mac.

I have installed iCloud on my miniMac, my iPhone, and my iPad 2. When I can't a doucment on my iPhone or iPad, both are updated, but my Mac won't sync with either the iPhone or iPad. Can anyone tell me how to make all three (Mac, iPhone, and iPad) directly with each other for documents?

ICloud won´t sync all contacts with Mac

Hardware and software involved:
Macbook Pro (bit older model) with fully updated Lion
iPhone 4 with fully updated newest iOS
Situation:
There are all contacts in iCloud. iPhone synces without issue and has all contacts in adress book. On Mac many contacts are missing.
Tested solutions on Mac:
1) Turned iCloud account off and on - no result, no change, iCloud still synces only some contacts
2) Turned iCloud adress book syncing on (while deleting all contacts on Mac) - no result, no change, iCloud still synces only some contacts
3) Deleting user/Library/applicationsupport/adress book - adress book synced more contacts (and different ones) then before, but still not all... Maybe around 1/2 contacts from iCloud.
Looking for help, I´m out of ideas. This is not some trivial error like looking in wrong tab at Adress Book (for example looking to On My Mac).
Thank you.

If your only issue is with duplicates I would go to your address book and click on the "red marker" up on the window. That should get you into main directory. There you should see at least two main lists:
On My Mac
iCloud
If you click on iCloud, there should be all entries with no duplicates - check if all your contacts are there. Then go to On My Mac and delete all contacts there. Problem solved (and if you have iPhone don't sync contacts over cable if you have iCloud sync active, that's where my duplicates came from).
My issue was more complicated. It started with duplicates which I have deleted as described above. Then I noticed I have all contacts on my iPhone and I can see all contacts on iCloud web page but in Mac there was only about half of them.
So after trying stuff for some time I have solved it by
1) deleting all contacts from Mac and turning iCloud off on Mac
2) copying all contacts from iPhone to Mac over cable to On My Mac directory
3) deleting all contacts from iPhone and iCloud manually, turning iCloud on iPhone off
4) copying all contacts from Mac back to iPhone
5) deleting all contacts from Mac (On My Mac)
6) turning iCloud on again and uploading contacts from iPhone to iCloud
7) turning iCloud on again on Mac and leting Mac sync
Complicated stuff, it's few days so I hope I have not forgotten something.

ICloud won't sync calendar both ways

I have iCloud syncing my calendars between 6 devices. If I add a new appointment on my Macbook Pro, the appointment shows up everywhere immediately. If I type in a new event on my iPhone, it shows up on all devices, EXCEPT my Macbook Pro.
Any ideas anyone?

Icloud won't sync contacts on my ipad

i can't get my contacts onto my ipad with syncing icloud

iCloud is only supposed to sync contacts in iCloud. It's not supposed to sync Yahoo, Facebook and Hotmail. Those are separate services which have their own sync functions you setup independently.

ICloud won't sync podcasts?

My Podcasts don't seem to sync through icloud. When I look under the setting on my iphone it only lists Music, Apps and Books. Am I not able to do this for podcasts? Or is podcasts somehow categorized under music and I am missing another setting to sync those. Thanks for all the help!

The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
Music and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
Movies, podcasts, and audio books
Photos that were originally synced from your computer

ICloud won't sync to my iPhone

Hi! I've migrated to iCloud and all my devices except my iPhone synced my contacts. I can see my contacts correctly on iCloud.com, on my 3 other Macs' address books. But none of my contacts shown on the iPhone contacts. I've enabled iCloud contacts sync on my iPhone, chosen delete all off the phone now it doesn't populate my contacts from iCloud. I've tried re-disabling and re-enabling again and again. It says activating contacts but its been two days and nothing happening. Is there any way?

Ok, i may have found a temporary solution. This may (virtually, not really) tie all multiple iCloud accounts together to merge all data on macs and cloud.
In my case i have two Apple IDs, one old (to purchase apps and music) and one new (mobile me), both registered valid to iCloud. I made them both have same contact, calendar and vice versa data manually. Then wiped my iPhone clean, first synced with my old Apple ID. All contact data filled in. then erased account from iCloud settings on the iPhone, chosen to leave all data on the phone intact, not to erase them. Then set up my mobile me account and chosen to merge all data on the iPhone with .me accont. It doesn't caused any problems like multiple contacts or anything.
Then to test this when all my contact apps on all devices were open (iphone, icloud and apple address book on the mac) i added edited some info on iCloud.com contacts. They all immediately synced to all devices . Now it seems working ok. This is my temporary unofficial solution. I hope it works for all of you.
PS: Because i DO NOT trust the process, in the beginning i backed up my mac address book to a file to use in any case of emergency.

ICloud won't sync to iPhone

So my Mac and iPhone use the same iCloud account but for some reason my contacts refuse to sync between them. My contacts are saved in iCloud.com and show up when I visit the website but they refuse to show up on my iPhone even after removing the iCloud account from my phone. I've tried everything I could think of and was hoping someone here would be able to help. Thanks!

Hello RoastedPecans,
It sounds like your iCloud contacts aren't syncing to your phone even after removing and re adding the account. I recommend these troubleshooting steps fom the article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
Open a secure website from your iOS device to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Contacts requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers.
If recent changes don't appear in Contacts on your iOS device, try refreshing:
In iOS 7, tap Groups in the upper-left corner of Contacts, then pull down on the list of groups to refresh.
In iOS 6 and iOS 5, tap Groups in the top-left corner of Contacts, and then tap the Refresh button in the upper-left corner of the Groups window.
If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device:
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Contacts preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute before reopening the Contacts app.
Restart your iOS device by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and then swiping the screen when prompted to power off. Then turn your device back on. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
If the issue persists I would next delete the iCloud account again, as you had before and then reset your Network Settings:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
