Iphone 6 to iCloud Sync IOS 8

Hey,
I added a contact to my address book, but I can't seem to get that contact up to icloud, so then it can trickle to all the other devices associated to my icloud account..
On my iphone 6, I see the contact on the rest of my devices (mac mini, ipad, mac book air).. all I see is the number of the individual but not the name..
How come?
Mav

Issues Restoring iPhone Using iCloud in iOS 7

Hi all,
I've been troubleshooting with Apple for about a week about this issue, but since I have essentially gotten no where other than wasting an embarrassing amount of time, I thought I'd turn to the support community to see if anyone else out there had any advice.
I'll try to keep this brief.
When I set up my Apple ID over a decade ago, I used my school email address, which expired long ago. For the better part of the last decade, I've been using my personal gmail address for my Apple ID. I've restored my phone countless times in previous versions of iOS without ever running into an issue. However, when trying to restore my phone from iCloud in iOS 7, I know get a message asking me for the password to my Apple ID using my school email address. I've tried changing my Apple ID back to the school email (per Apple's recommendation), but when I try to restore the phone, it doesn't show any available backups. The right backup does show up when I go back to my gmail address, but I can't get past the page asking for the password to my ID using my school ID.
If anyone else has run into this issue and has any recommendations for working around it, I would be eternally grateful for any advice you have to offer.
Thanks in advance.

Totally random Apple ID request on iPhone after iCloud sync.

After syncing my iPhone 4s with iCloud I get a totally random Apple ID request. I am not familiar with this email at all. Most of the posts I have seen seem to be related to an old email or the email of a family member. The email address is completely foreign to me. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Hi shailzonly,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you edited the Apple ID that you use for iCloud. To sign out of iCloud you do need to have the Apple ID and password for that account. In this situation, it may be necessary to temporarily change your Apple ID back to the one that is signed into iCloud (no need to change the password, you can stay with your new one) and sign out. Once signed out you can edit your Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in to iCloud with that one. Please use the attached article for more information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
Best regards,
Joe

Add audio tracks to iphone using iCloud sync

This soulds like a 101 question, but I can't find an answer.
I have my iPhone/iPad synced to iCloud. I want to add audio recordings to the iPhone (language learning). If I connect to iTunes and select some tracks it says I can't sync them because I'm synced to iCloud. How do I get them on there? They came from a CD supplied with a book.

You can go to Settings > Music > iTunes Match and turn it off. Then, sync the phone from your Mac.
Note 1: "When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud."
Note 2: "Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device."

Newbie to iPhone with iCloud syncing issue

I am brand new to the iPhone and to iCloud and I am having some trouble. I created about 30 contacts, on my phone, before finding out that you can actually go to icloud.com and create them there. I went to icloud.com and did a "backup", from my phone, of my contacts, expecting them to be on the icloud.com website, so I could add additional information, as well as finish creating my complete contacts list.
Long story short, although I have contact backup to iCloud as "on" and have everything else selected, NONE of my contacts, calendar, notes, anything, appears on the icloud.com website. What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help me?
If it matters, this is on an iPhone 5C, iOS 7.0.1, and I am accessing the iCloud site on a Windows 8 PC.
Thank you! Any help or tips is greatly appreciated.

Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) again to make sure your iCloud ID is selected. If it is, go to Settings>iCloud turn Contacts off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a minute or so, turn it back on. Then try adding a contact again to see if it goes to icloud.com. If it doesn't, then your options are either to try restoring your phone (if you do, be sure to back it up first) or making an appointment with the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store as something is clearly wrong.

IPhone Fails To Sync (iOS 5.1.1)

Does its normal thing when I plug it into computer, brings up iTunes, Sync begins, and then it stalls at step one. Message says the sync session failed to start. I have tried restarting the phone, restarting iTunes, restarting computer. There is plenty of space on the phone, both phone and iTunes are up to date. This has happened ten times in a row. Help!

Try this.

Hi - have you had enjoy joy resolving this? I have just updated to 5.1 and I hoped it would fix things but sadly not...

Is there any way to get iCloud sync (iPhone + 2 Macs) without wi-fi?

We have two Macs (MacBook Pro, iMac) and one iPhone 4; OSs up-to-date (Lion, iOS5). Our only routine access to the internet is via the mobile phone 3G network for the iPhone, and via a 3G USB stick/dongle for the Macs, also using the mobile phone network. We do NOT have access to the internet via a local wi-fi link to a router (whether ADSL or cable). This is in Melbourne, Australia, btw.
Question: is there any way at all that we can get syncing of contacts and calendars for all three devices? - preferably automatic, ideally real-time whenever a device could see the internet. With syncing set, there seem to be some random updates (and duplication) between devices, but it seems that normally syncing is enabled only when the device sees the internet via a local wi-fi link to a router, and that's what we don't have. (We can't trundle the iMac to an internet cafe either!)
Understood that a local sync would be possible via iTunes for one of the two computers and the iPhone, provided they could see each other wirelessly - but there's a second computer...
E-mail no problem; we use IMAP.
All suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks for this quick response.
I thought I had established by searching forums that iCloud sync routinely requires wi-fi. I can see from Apple documentation that backup does; and that Documents and Data (in iOS) has a switch to permit/deny syncing using a cellular network. What I have not found is a one-stop-shop on the Apple site that says which iCloud facilities are supposed to work with cellular/3G networks and which not. Can you point us to such a list?
Regarding our own problem: the missing link appears to be the download of new entries from the cloud to either of the Macs, the Mac being connected to the internet via 3G. For example a new calendar appointment entered on the Mac duly appears on the iPhone; but a new appointment entered on the iPhone fails to appear on the Mac. (If it is re-entered on the Mac, it gets duplicated on the iPhone.) Checking the iCloud website show that a new iPhone appointment is getting as far as the cloud; but apparently no further.
I think you'll agree that this makes iCloud calendar syncing next to useless.
This may not (as you imply) be caused by the use of the 3G connection. However in the two households in our family we have one with wi-fi and essentially the same setup, except that the iPhone is a 3GS. In the wi-fi setup, a new appointment entered on the iPhone calendar promptly shows up on a Mac.
If the sync problem has nothing to do with the mode of internet connection, how might it be cured?

Mail on iOS 5 and iCloud sync (Mails are not marked as read when I read them on my MacBook)

Hello everyone,
I am an iOS 5 and OS X Lion User in Germany and I have following question concering Mail on iOS 5 and iCloud.
I have a MacBook Pro 13" with OS X Lion 10.7.2 and an iPhone 4 with iOS 5. I also have an iCloud account (I switched yesterday from MobileMe).
When I receive a new e-Mail it will be pushed immediately to my iPhone an my MacBook. When I open this new e-mail on my iPhone, it is immediately marked as read on my MacBook. But when I open the new e-mail on my MacBook, it is not marked as read on my iPhone. I have manually to sync mail first.
Does anyone know if this feature is not supported on iCloud and iOS 5? Thanks for your help!

Add me to the list of people having this problem.
I have 1 Gmail account a 2 Google Apps accounts and this happens with all 3. If I read a messaging in Mail.app, it DOES get marked read on my iPod Touch, though.
If I read the emails on my iPod Touch, BlackBerry, or Gmail web interface, the read status does not get synced back to Mail.app unless I close and re-open it.
Not sure if this is an Apple issue or a Gmail issue, but it's VERY annoying and somewhat defeats the purpose of using IMAP.

Contacts created on my iPhone won't sync anymore (iOS 6 & 10.6.8)

Hi,
Contacts created on my iPhone don't sync with Mac (= are not visible in Address Book).
I have this problem since I made the iOS 6 update (iPhone 4 / iOS 6.1.2 / Mac OS 10.6.8 / iTunes 11.0.2 / USB sync).
I tried disabling / enabling Contacts sync in iTunes. No effect.
Using iCloud and/or upgrading to Lion is not a solution for me.
Haven't found any solution yet. Others have the same issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20363944#20363944
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21481733#21481733
The only clue I've got is the following: using a freeware to backup my phone contacts (by searching in the backup file of the phone created by iTunes), I noticed that the freeware finds the same number of contacts (856) on my phone that Address Book displays on the Mac — yet the iPhone should have 2 more (or the mac 2 less), since I created 2 contacts on the phone that don't display on the mac. So maybe, just maybe, it's a "visibility attribute" problem? I'm not technician.
This issue is very irritating, basically there's no "synchronization" per se anymore.
Thanks in adavance for any help you may provide.

There have been some reports of this with iTunes 9.1. There is a new update that may fix it. Use the "check for updates" in the iTunes Help menu.
If that fails try completely uninstalling iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, download the latest iTunes from the Apple site, then reboot and install the downloaded iTunes. Be sure Outlook is not running during the removal or installation processes.
Oh, BEFORE you do any of the above make sure iTunes is still set to sync with Outlook (on the Info tab). Try the simple stuff first!

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

All other calendar events sync fine through Icloud.
