IPad and iPhone icloud data

Switchng to a Mac after 30 years as an avid PC user. I have an iPhone and an iPad with all my data syncing between the two just fine. I can't seem to figure out how to get the info (music, pics etc) to my MacBook Air via iCloud.  Understand that calendar items update regularly between the three products, but I want addresses, music, pics etc to come to the MB Air also. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Some older addresses that sync from Outlook no longer showup on my ipad and iphone.  Data is in Outlook and in Icloud contacts.  Any suggestions?

    Some older addresses that sync from Outlook no longer showup on my ipad and iphone.  Data is in Outlook and in Icloud contacts.  Any suggestions?  Some of the newer addresses seem to sync but the older ones (family) addresses are not.  The data is showing up in Outlook and in icloud but doesn't show up in my contacts after a sync.

  • Reminder app on my IPad and IPhone loses date/time

    I had entered 6 items in the reminder app a while ago.  Noticed lately that I have gotten no reminders.  Opened the app and found the date time for 5 items have completely disappeared.  The one that remained has an alarm date in December 2014. 
    So I did some testing.  I successfully created a new item,  entered an alarm date time, touched the Done word on the top to save.  Date time are now shown for this new item. 
    Now I added a second new item.  Repeat the process successfully.  Returned to the List screen.  Date time for the second new item are  shown, but the date time for the first new item have disappeared. 
    Unbelievable.  So I repeat the by re-entering the date time for the first new item, and when I went back to the List screen, the date time for this item are there, but date time for the second new item are now gone.
    Now I quit the app altogether (not just putting it to sleep), and when I open the app again, the only item with date time is the one due in Dec. 2014. The 2 new items have no dates and times!
    Any one has any ideas why?  I am using ios7.1
    I was connected to the internet and iCloud when I set the alarm date and time

  • The iCalendar date on my iCloud home page on my PC is not current.  It is current on my iPad and iPhone.  How can this be, why are they not in sync?

    The iCalendar date on my PC on my iCloud home age is not the current date.  It is correct on my iPad and iPhone, but not on the PC.  How can this be corrected?

    Go to iCloud.com then sign in and click your name at the top right.
    Is the correct time zone selected?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to turn the services you want to sync (calendars, contacts etc) on on both devices from settings > iCloud.

  • I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining).  I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices.  Data storage is still same.

    I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each).  I do not store tunes or videos.  After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size.  Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen.  If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
    Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right?  Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device.  It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system.  So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups.  With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
    Can I expedite this?  Well of course you can.  If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now.  Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
    I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

  • Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

    Hi silverk,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand the need for all of your calendars to be up to date across all of your devices and how frustrating it can be when they are not syncing as you would expect. In this situation I would suggest reading over and using the attached article for troubleshooting.

  • Why when I enter a birthday in Contacts does it show up as different date on my iPad and iPhone 4?

    I enter a birthday in Contacts on my MacBook Pro and it shows up correctly in iCloud but on my iPad and iPhone it showsa up as another date - either before or after the actual date???  Any clues?

    This worked for me:
    Not sure if your problem is solved, if not try this which worked for me:
    (1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
    (2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
    (3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
    (4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
    (5) Sync again.
    Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.

  • ICloud syncing Documents on Mac, Ipad, and iPhone Not working

              Hi all!,
    Can someone help me understand something. I'm working on a page document and it synced to icloud fine. I can see the document on Ipad and iphone BUT i can't figure out how to see it on my Macbook Pro. Can someone give me some ideas what i need to do so i can take all that mobile working on to my desktop ?
    Anyone that knows how to do this step by step would be a great help.

    The problem is that there is not a single application that makes use of this on a Mac. Not even iWork09 v9.1 where everybody thought it would sync to the cloud and to iOS5 - it does not.
    Iwork Users need to open Safari, go to www.icloud.com, into the iwork section there in the browser and drag and drop the files from Mac to the cloud this way to have the documents in the cloud and have them available onto their iOS5 , too.
    No way around that clumsy solution.
    "documents and data" is currently limited to iWork for iOS only. ( Sketchbook Pro for iOS and a handful of mini apps start using it too, on iOS that is all - not on Mac ) .

  • Do I need to turn on iCloud backup for auto sharing between my iPad and iPhone, example photos, reminder, notes, contacts, etc

    When I turn off iCloud backup then I think my iPad, and iPhone stop sharing contacts and reminder phone stream etc, so do I need iCloud backup to be turned on

    No. Backing up to iCloud is entirely separate from syncing data with iCloud to your other devices.  Backing up to iCoud is entirely optional and turning it off shouldn't effect your iCloud syncing in any way.

  • How do I know if my PC, Ipad and Iphone are backed up in Icloud?

    Howw do I know if my Macbook Pro, Ipad and Iphone are backed up in the cloud?
    How can I seeor know what's in my Icloud?

    For the iPad and iPhone, ohhh say go to your ipad "General" - "iCloud" - Look below "Back Up Now" ... you should see last backup date and time.  If you continue into "Manage Storage" (located above "Buy More Storage" you should see each device and amount of space used for each.

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...
