Ipad sync with icloud

when I try to back up my icloud on the ipad it says it cannot be completed and also says underneath that last back up never.  I was wondering how I can correct this?

  • IPad syncing with iCloud and Exchange = problems ?

    Greetings,
    I am using Apple products since 2 years ago. Everything started with an iPod Touch 64 and things grew to an iPhone4, iPad and now, an iPad 2.
    I also have a Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb 3.2 based), a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.3.3.
    All devices are configured to sync mails, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with an Exchange Server. Until iOS5 and iCloud, there were no problems whatsoever. Contacts created on any device used to replicate to the others without a problem, although the iDevices (iOS based) never understood “categories”, a resource commonly used in an outlook environment to help sorting things out.
    Last week, Ibought the iPad2. Updated it and configured it to use the same Exchange Server as the other devices. Also, I chose to use iCloud.
    After that, I noticed that on a daily basis, contacts would appear without categories, first day, a few, around 5. Second day, 10 more. Third day, more 20. After the second day, I also noticed that the “display as” field (also known as “FiledAs”) was starting to show names with Last, First order. Here in Brazil we sort names as First Last. Of course, outlook, all android devices and also the iPad were all configured correctly (First, Last).
    The problem was getting bigger every day. Yesterday, 900+ of my almost 2000 contact list were mixed up, missing their categories and also had their first and last names changed in the Filed As field.
    After deleting, editing, restoring backups etc. more than once, I have finally found that the iCloud is probably the culprit.
    Changed my iPad config to keep from syncing with iCloud and configured it to backup locally.
    Deleted all accounts in all devices, deleted all data from contacts. Configured the accounts and left the devices syncing. Restored a backup. All devices synced and received the contacts.
    Surprise: problem solved. So far, no missing categories, no inverted First, Last names. Maybe if anyone find himself in the same situation, it might help.

    I have the same problem. My MacPro isn't on Lion, as I have lots of software that isn't compatible yet. But I have 10.7.2. on my MacBookPro and iOS5 on my iPhone and iPad.
    I would like to go to iCloud for those devices that are capable to run it, but I do not want to loose sync services for my MacPro which is on 10.6.8. Will iCloud and MobileMe be in sync until 30.06.2012, so I can use them in parallel, or do I have to wait until all computers are updated to Lion?

  • IPad - sync with iCloud and iTunes

    Hi, i have an iPad which is sync'ed with iCloud. Now what I'm trying to do is to copy some music, ebooks, videos for my iPad using iTunes one. But the problem is that when I try to start sync, it says that iPad is already sync'ed with other library and it's asking me to erase it's content and replace with iTunes. I don't want to erase it, i just want to copy some additional content to it... Is it possible somehow to do this without erasing it?

    Not really. It is backed up to iCloud.
    iDevices sync with an iTunes library on your computer.
    Did you sync this iPad with iTunes on a different computer at one time?

  • Why after IOS6 Ipad calendar not syncing with Icloud?

    After I upgrade Iphone and Ipad to IOS6, my Ipad calendar doesn't sync with ICloud using exactly same Apple ID. Any sugestions?

    1. Fire up your Mac and connect the iPad.
    2. Open iTunes and confirm that you are NOT syncing via the cable. Change settings as appropriate. When finished, disconnect the iPad and power it down.
    3. Open iCal on the Mac and confirm that the events are correct. Add/delete events as appropriate. Quit from iCal.
    4. Open System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync
    5. Click on "Advanced" and then click on your Mac when it shows up.
    6. Click on "Reset Sync Data"
    7. At the top, Replace: Calendars
    8. Click the right-pointing arrow so that the complete text states: "Replace Calendars on MobileMe with sync info from this computer."
    9. Click "Replace"
    10. You've confirmed that your Mac and MobileMe are set up properly. Now the iPad. Fire up the iPad and go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    11. REMOVE Calendar syncing from the account that's identified by your email address.
    12. Follow the instructions below.

  • IWork not syncing with iCloud on iPad

    Okay, I am having the same problem a lot of people have been having. Namely, my iWork documents are not properly syncing with iCloud. They're stuck on either upload or download. Sometimes, I'll get a document to download, but it immediately begins to upload again, even though I haven't opened it on my iPad. I have tried everything I have found in the forums:
    Deleted the documents from iCloud and my iPad, then uploaded to iCloud from my Mac.
    Turned off the Documents and Data option in the iCloud menu on my iPad, turned the option back on then restarted the iPad. (I've tried several variations of this option.)
    Restored iPad using iTunes.
    Has anyone been able to find a definitive solution to this issue?

    stpauli, it sounds like it's you and me in this together. Have you had any luck? I've had a little. I've been working on this for about a month now. Here's what I did:
    I deleted all of my documents from my iPad, iTouch, and iCloud. (I tried it without deleting, but it didn't work.)
    I completely turned off iCloud on ALL of my devices, even my Mac.
    I deleted all files in iTunes for the iWork suite. (Again, I didn't this this would matter, but it didn't work of they were still there.)
    I restored both my iPad and iTouch using their most recent back ups.
    I switched on iCloud on ALL of my devices again.
    When I opened the programs, things seemed to be working again. It worked well for two days, but now it's being funny again
    iCloud will not push out to my iPad. If I create or edit on my iPad, it will push up to iCloud just fine, but if I upload a document to iCloud from my Mac, it never shows on my iPad. In fact, I edited a document that was in iCloud using my Mac, and uploaded the file back to iCloud. The updates never showed on my iPad, and when I closed the document, two versions of the same file appeared in iCloud. The one that was uploaded from my Mac is unusable.
    This is definitely an iCloud issue. Unfortunately, the nearest Apple store is a four hour plane ride away, and my devices are out of waranty so they want to charge me for help. I hope you're having better luck.

  • Ipad and iphone not syncing with icloud

    My ipad AND iphone 4S have stopped syncing with icloud - for calendar and reminders at least - suspect for all apps - any suggestions anyone? Have tried ensuring default calender is the same across all, but thus is also impacting other apps.. Help appreciated.

    Do you mean per app? Have done for calendar on iphone, but reluctant to do so on ipad as that's the one that contains loads of updates (as it means deleting everything on the ipad?)... if I have to do this I will eventually, its just that as it's both my iphone and ipad involved, it seems like it might be more likely to be an icloud issue? She said hopefully...

  • MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

    My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad.  Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

    Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
    The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
    Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

  • Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

    Help.  I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password.  Now asking for a password and I never set one up.  What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either).  Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password!  Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
    Thanks.

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

  • Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

    Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
    I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
    I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
    Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
    Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
    PLEASE HELP
    Ps:
    I've already done this:
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

    You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
    You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
    There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

  • What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.

    What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.
    This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
    Any experience doing this the "right" way?

  • TS3999 My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone?

    My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone? despite doing everything as per the support page. I keep on clicking the Add in but it wont "take"?
    It use to,  but no matter what I try nothing works. Using Windows 7. HELP!

    This step is not clear:
    "Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Outlook requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers."
    The link takes me to an Apple page but which has nothing to do with ports.  And there is nothing to explain what it is I am looking for, how to look for it, and how to change it if needed.
    Also, this step:
    "Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices."
    iCloud automatically set up a "[email protected]...." account for me so I see that one plus my original email used to open my Apple account.  And the apple products show my settings under both identities.
    Make sure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook
    This add-in is disabled because it doesn't allow Outlook to function properly.
    Thanks!

    have an iPad 2. It synced all my information from my Android to the ipad.  I cannot get my calender on my ipad to sync with iCloud.  Can anyone help?

    Okay, this is interesting, because I was under the impression that FOR IOS DEVICES, contacts are NOT included in a backup, since they are already on icloud (in the contact database).  And since you erased the contacts, then they are gone for good.  One recommendation I've read about is, assuming you have a computer like a Mac also connected to the same icloud account, you can get the contacts back from a backup of the computer, like Time Machine.  However, I don't know where you'd look for that file or files (even though the contacts are stored centrally on icloud, I'm guessing they are also stored locally in a cache file).
    I think another suggestion made here (IIRC) is to turn off syncing of contacts (on the device), then do a restore.  Since there's no sync, icloud's empty contact database will not overwrite the local contacts on the deviced.   Again, I may not be remembering correctly.  Some of these older posts about this same problem were some time ago.
    I'd welcome anyone who really knows the details on this to add to the discussion here.  This is an issue faced by many posters.
