IOS 5 syncing issues may be iCloud related?

There are a lot of people reporting problems syncing iPod Touches after upgrading to iOS 5, and after observing that my Touch partially copies music over but stops at 5 GB... wait, that's exactly the default, free storage limit for iCloud, right? That is very unlikely to be a coincidence. Is there some iCloud option somewhere that's not very obvious, that keeps sync from going beyond 5 GB?
the iPod itself, Settings -> General -> Usage -> Music reports only 5 GB of storage used.

Maybe not - after another couple of sync attempts, it still isn't copying everything over but it's now 7.0 GB used for music.

IOS Mail syncing issues with iCloud - emails from 1970!!!!!

Hi
I woke up this morning to find some very weird behaviour on my iOS devices (iPhone 5 32GB, iPad 2 32GB).
Both mail apps are synced to my mail accout with icloud yet both only seem willing to sync with all email from today and yesterday, and then only show emails from late November 2012. My iPad also seems to believe that I was sent some emails from 01/01/1970!!!!
As far as I am aware all was fine yesterday, and all seems to be fine with mail on my Mac.
Any advice much appreciated,
I deleted the account from my phone and then re-added it but the problem was still there.
Many thanks
Andy

I have previously successfully fixed similar problem by resetting all settings. Settings - general - reset - reset all settings. Do not click the line that says erase content. You will lose your screen wallpaper, your wifi password and other minor stuff that is not worth mentioning, but nothing important.

IPad (IOS 8) and iPhone (IOS 8) sync issues

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5 as well as a 4th gen iPad. Ever since I factory reset my iPhone, the two will not properly sync. For example, my iPad will pick up an iMessage and it will never show up on my iPhone (even when I already have a conversation on the phone started).
Also, my camera roll will not completely sync. There are about 10 random pics that will just not sync.
Steps I've taken:
-iMessage activated on both devices
-Camera roll sync activated
The only thing I can think of is that my iPhone has been acting a bit weird (which led to the factory reset).

Hi iAndrew95,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issues you are describing. If you are talking about issues with Continuity and iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8 on these devices, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

IOS 4 sync issue for Visages through iTunes

In iTunes, under the Photos tab, I select certain visages that I want to sync to the iPhone. 3 out of the 25 different persons I have but they will all (that the 25 differents people) be sync on the phone... If I select only one, same... Seems that selecting one or more has the same effect as selecting all of them...
Anyone else with the same issue? Any solution?

NOTE: This worked with the following: Windows XP Pro,
(Version 2002 SP2) and Outlook 2003. Your results may
vary!
With your iPhone NOT connected, do the following:
[laborious process omitted]
Again, once this process worked on my machine, and
was replicated on a second machine (Same OS, and
Outlook version) so I know it can be done
successfully without help from Apple tech support.
I'd be curious to hear from anyone trying this
process to see if this works in a different setting,
(i.e. OS version, etc.)
I tried this, including rebooting my iPhone prior to resyncing it with Outlook, and there was no joy.
My symptom is that I can enter calendar items on the iPhone, and they appear on Outlook, but I can't enter calendar items on Outlook and have them appear on the iPhone.
My suspicion is this: I have multiple email accounts feeding into my Outlook account. I think that may have something to do with it. I've been waiting and reading the forums here, because I've been concerned that the iPhone support calls would be flooding in. But this is starting to be pretty annoying, so I'm going to try to call Apple and see if they can help. (And also with the "no additional mailbox" problem, which is also pretty durn annoying.)
If I find an answer, I'll post.

IOS 5 Syncing issues

After spending hours getting IOS 5 on all my devices, I noticed that it wiped out all my book covers. So I tried re-syncing to no effect. Then I removed all the books and then re-synced them. It only completely added 20% of the books and the other 80% where stuck, looked like when 1st download a book but they never completed. It took 5 re-syncs before all the books where there. Furthermore syncing seems to take 10 times longer than it ever did before.
ps operating system should be ios 5 but option not there yet

Lost all contacts, pictures, and videos on ios 7, syncing iphone to itunes/icloud how do i restore it back, lost all contacts, pictures, and videos on ios 7, syncing iphone to itunes/icloud how do i restore it back

I updated itunes 11.1.5 and I accidently restored all my settings back to my old phone that was backed up onto my computer, I lost everything that was set up on my phone, contacts, pictures, videos, emails...etc.. how do I get my old setup back without doing a factory data reset?

Restore the device again using the most recent backup.
If there is no more recent backup and the pictures were not copied off the device prior to the original restore, they are gone. Same goes for videos taken with the device.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, simply sync them back.
Any content acquired from iTunes should be on iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back.

Exchange calendar sync issues among iOS devices and Mavericks

When I add an event to a shared Exchange calendar on my Mac in iCal, and mark it as All-Day, that designation does not appear with the event on my iOS devices. Instead, it's given a 24-hour duration from 12 to 12, so to speak. Here's the confusing part: If I edit the event on my iPhone to correct it as All-Day, it does not sync that All-Day designation to my iPad. Additionally, if I then make the same correction on the iPad, toggles it on the phone and removes All-Day. Removal of All-Day designation on a device does remove it on the Mac calendar, which I then have to change back. So I chase it around in a circle and end up with the correct duration on only one iOS device. The difference in All-Day and 24 hours duration does matter graphically as many of these events run for several weeks or months. All-Day keeps them confined to the upper section of the calendar graph rather than muddying up the lowerm hourly appointments.
Any ideas on how to rectify the problem?
I'm running Mavericks, iOS 7.0.3 and using MS Exchange 2010.

There are several other posters on the Forums that are having issues with Exchange sync'ing with Mavericks. It could be that your all-day verses mutli-hour issue may be among them.
Most of the problems that people are seeing, including myself, are more to do with Mail and Calendar simply not synchronizing.
My Mail.app INBOX for my Exchange server is now several hours behind my iOS and Windows Outlook instances. Calendar appointments are simply not being pushed to the server (though they seem to be retrieved OK).
So, sorry for now help on this one directly, but you are not alone.

Syncing Issues with iCloud and iPhone

My iPhone 4 had to be replaced. Yesterday I spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple Care while they tried to resolve the issue of why my new phone wasn't syncing with my Address Book and Calendars. The cloud FINALLY gave up the data. Now I find that not all of my ringtones have synced. Does anyone know how to resolve this particular syncing issue? The ringtones are in my iTunes library under "ringtones," they were on my other iPhone 4 and worked just fine, and I've checked the boxes in front of each one on the "Sync Ringtones" window when my new iPhone 4 is plugged in. Four out of ten have synced. The rest refuse to make the trip. Any clue as to what to do? At this point, I'm ready for the iCloud to disappear and give the old system back.

First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

TS3999 iCloud + iCal + ML sync issues

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a late-2011 13" MBP and upgraded it to ML. I did not have any prior issues with my iPhone/Mac/iPad/Black MacBook syncing together with iCloud, which is why I'm perplexed after countless Google searches and resets with no answers. My iOS devices are still syncing properly. I can access my updated calendar at iCloud.com. Everything works except for iCal on Mac with iCloud. I now have an exclamation point next to iCloud in the calendar along with a phantom Google calendar that is no longer shared. The error message I get is:
The server responded with an error.
The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've attempted signing in and out with different accounts to test, allocate and/or delete files from the Library > Calendar folder, Preferences folder and SyncServices, and also verified disk permissions. I'm re-downloading ML now to try re-installing it. I'm out of ideas.

Hey there!
I apologize for my terminology because it probably wasn't accurate or that clear.
While using your existing Apple ID or iCloud account, open Calendar, then go to File > New Calendar > iCloud. Give it a different name and color than your existing calendar for troubleshooting purposes(you can always delete the old one and rename it and change the colors later). Once the new calendar is created, try creating a new event under it to make sure that it syncs across all of your devices. In my scenario, doing this revealed that the new calendar synced correctly while the old one continued to show an error icon.
As far as migrating the calendars, I think there are two options. Luckily for me I didn't have too many events so I went into each event and edited them at the bottom where it indicates which calendar you want to associate the event with. The other method that I was going to try, but wasn't sure if a corrupted event/setting would carry over to the new calendar if I did, was to export my old calendar to my desktop, then import it back into my new calendar. Theoretically, this should move all of those previously entered events under your new calendar without having to click into each event like I did. Because I've never tried it, I can't speak to whether or not the original error would return. *However, if your Mac Calendar is empty due to syncing issues, the export method won't be of much help as it only exports what is currently visible in that calendar. But if your calendar currently contains all the events you'd like to keep, but it just can't sync anymore, then exporting and importing might work.
If you decide to try the export/import method, it's pretty straightforward. After you create the new calendar, click on the old one and go to File > Export. Save the file to your desktop, then go to File > Import. Choose the file you just saved and select the destination as the NEW calendar you just created. Again, theoretically, it should work.
Good luck!

ICal/Google sync issues since iOS 8.2 update

Since the update to iOS 8.2 a few days ago, iCal on my iPhone 5s is not syncing with my Google Calendar. I have already reset the 2 step verification on my Google calendar permissions, checked to make sure events are in the Google calendar and not in the iPhone calendar, and checked settings to make sure the Google calendar is selected. The only thing I have not tried (because I'm worried that changes I made prior to realizing thisi was an issue would be lost) is deleting my Google account from the iPhone and reconnecting. Is that really my only remaining option? I'm stumped.

I'm facing the same issue on iOS 8.2 iPhone6. iCal is not syncing on the iPhone. It does, however, sync from Yosemite to iCloud.com.

Will there be another softerware update SOON to fix the syncing issue iOS 6.14 caused?

Will Apple offer another update SOON that will FIX the syncing issues?
I have tried EVERYTHING: backups, restarting phone, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, etc. . NOTHING WORKS
I look forward to having my phone sync to my computer so I can save all my information on my external hard drive.
This issue has been occurring ever since I downloaded and updated the iOS 6.14 software.
Everyone is having this same issue, if anyone knows a way to "fix" it please let me know, if not. . . APPLE I need you to begin working on a solution. Thanks!

Sync issues after iOS 8 update

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5S, 64 GB. After updating to iOS8 I got sync issues. "Waiting for changes to be applied" never disappeared. Also the storage usage in iTunes 11.4 is wrong. iTunes said I had 6GB free, when I had in fact 20GB. I restored the phone back to firmware, restored the backup. All was fine until I made setting changes in iTunes what I want to sync. The same issue in iTunes is back again. I already deleted my voice memos as someone recommended in another threat but that didn't help.
Any ideas how I can solve the problem, would be appreciated. Thank you!

IOS 6 and iTunes 10.7 WiFi Sync issues

WiFi sync works for a day or two then from the device is just keeps saying Looking for Mario Michela's iMac... I restart iMac, reboot iPhone and or iPad. connect via usb cable, uncheck WiFi Sync (apply), recheck WiFi Sync. It will work again for 2 or 3 days. Then starts to fail again.
I've tried using Eithernet and wifi on the mac (no difference)
I've tried turning off the firewall (no difference)
I've reset all setting on the iPhone (no difference)
I've reset SyncServices Folder (/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsy nc.pl full) -(No difference)
I've called Apple Care 3 times, I keep getting passed around because sync is between product departments.
iOS doesn't support desktop applications, iMac doesn't support mobile devices..
I'm hoping iTunes 11 fixes this issue.. This issue didn't occur prior to iTunes 10.7.

I am getting sync issues too (although on OSX) - seems like others are getting issues too:

What is the deal with the ios 7 and sync issues?

For as long as I can remember having ios 7, and maybe even before that, I've had NOTHING but problems syncing my phone to music. I have been trying tirelessly to add a simple playlist that has a specific set of music that WILL NOT SYNC. On top of this there is music that I cannot delete off my phone. I have too much involved in my phone to do a factory reset, and I think it's silly and ridiculous to have to do this JUST to get my playlist issue/music sync issues dealt with. If apple doesn't start addressing these software issues I will take my money elsewhere and never buy another apple device as long as this crap continues. The new iTunes set up is garbage as well. I miss the old iTunes from several years ago where it was so easy to just place music anywhere/everwhere and on my iPhone.

iTunes runs just fine on Lion.
Since you've reinstalled Snow Leopard we can't help you diagnose your issue.
