Iphone icloud sync issues

I placed my son's volleyball schedule on my macbook pro calendar. It synced to my ipad but not my iphone. I also can put things on my iphone calendar that don't go to the ipad or mac. What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure syncing with icloud is enabled?

ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
Any clues?

IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
*iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
(3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
(from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
Any insight would be helpful.

Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

IPhone 4S - Syncing issues with a Mac

I've tried almost everything! I have the latest versions of Itunes, iOS7, and running OS x 10.9. I cant sync music between my iPhone 4S and my Mac or my wife's iPhone4 and the Mac. Very frustrating, I don't manually manage music I sync my playlists and videos. I've tried to restore and restart both phones but nothing! When I purchase music now, I have to wait until it downloads and then create or modify a playlist on the phone itself, I can't even get purchases to transfer, if i make them on the Mac. It began after I performed the latest iOS7 update. Help please!!!

Thanks @Awol1404 I do have a lot of songs with just a circle of dots on the device through Itunes, some of these songs come up on the device itself as greyed out with a (stop download icon (circle with square in the middle)) i've tried to remove all the songs my unchecking the sync music box and checking the manually mangage box. I press sync or apply and itunes does its thing. On Itunes the device then comes up as having 2 playlists (one voice memos and 1 random playlist from what i had) and thats it. I can reboot the computer and when i plug it back in it still says that that is what is on the phone. on the phone itself, there has been no changes except maybe the odd song greyed out. Very confusing, frustrating and well... frustrating!!!!
I have no issues with iCloud syncing, contacts and messages, emails, calendars are all working how they should.

IPhone 4s Syncing Issues iTunes

The iPhone syncing issues:
The syncing stalls at step 3 when I sync with iTunes to update the apps on my iPhone. When I sync the iphone on my PC it goes up to step 5. The syncing steps go from 1 to 5? Why does the syncing on my iPhone only go up to Step 3 on my laptop in iTunes?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 4s since updating to ios 7.1. It says "preparing to update" and then spins like that and does nothing. If I'm trying to copy a song from my laptop to my phone it is grey.
Help please.
Thanks!

How do I fix my iphone? (SYNC ISSUES)

So, heres the deal.
IOS7 crashed my phone
Iphone 4S 16GB.
HOW DO I GET IT TO WORK??
I randomly lose contacts, email (FULL ACCOUNTS), photos, texts, even though I STOPPED AUTOSYNC.
I figured the software was corrupt so I would jsut use the phone without any more sync issues.
However, I'd wake up in the morning and find a phone with no or partial contacts. I would have no email accounts...or DOUBLE accounts.
I would not be able to send texts.
Its random crashes.
HOW DO I GET MY iPHONE BACK???

Oh, I forgot to mention my calendars go missing randomly.
all of my appointments dissappeared a few times. I'm getting tired of thave to re-add them all.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Exchange 2010 and iphone calendar sync issues

Hey,
I know this question has been asked plenty of times before and just need a straight resolution. We have just migrated our environment to Exchange 2010 and the major issue is that when an event is created in Outlook 2011 it is not always showing up on their iphone and also vis versa. Is their a resolution to this problem so I can implement it in an emergency change. Thank you for all your help!

Here let me explain the scenario again any user who logs in to exchange from outlook working fine password not expired and he has iphone active sync working no issues , now while all devices are working when he starts his ipad after a week or so when he
opens his email on ipad it prompts the password on ipad and same time on iPhone , he does not want to enter the password and wants a technical justification , I told the user something to do with Exchange 2010 sp2 and ios 7 ,but that is invalid justification
. if you have any other valid justification please let me know. or a solution to this issue. user wants to login without any password prompt while the password is saved in device and not expired , is there any feature in Exchange 2010 sp2 that would recognize
how many days device has not logged it and would force to enter the password.

Iphone wifi syncing issue with itunes 10.7

My wife and I each have iphone 4's syncing on our respective computers running Win XP Pro SP3. After upgrading to itunes 10.7 and iOS 6, itunes doesn't reliably sync via wifi. It will sync once then won't a second time unless the computer is rebooted. If I try and click the sync button on itunes, it looks for the displayed iphone then says it can't find it and the iphone disappears.This is happening on both computers. I can direct connect the iphone with usb cable and sync, but it won't sync via wifi without rebooting. I've click the "sync with wifi" button off then on. Nothing works.
We both upgraded to iphone 5's. It didn't solve the problem. I upgraded my computer to a new desktop running Win 8 Pro. Everything transferred fine and the initial sync went well, but the problem persists. After my iphone 5 sync'd with itunes overnight, the next morning it wouldn't sync again via wifi. Again, trying to initiate a sync from itunes caused the it to look for the iphone and not finding it, the iphone disappeared from itunes. Once I restarted Win 8 and itunes, the iphone showed up in itunes.
It's not the iphones(it happened with both 4's and 5's), the computers(two differnet computers) or, the OS( happens with Win XP and Win 8) so it's got to be an isssue with iTunes 10.7 and possibly it's interaction with iOS 6. We didn't have the problem before 10.7 and iOS 6 (upgraded same time).
Any suggestions? This is annoying to not have these reliably sync without intervention.
Thanks,
Z

Just found another thread that helped...deleted the iTunes Library Genius file and now the Mac can load the library!

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.

Need Desperate Help Regarding iPhone 4 Sync Issue (PC, Win7)

I'll attempt to make this question as concise and fully informative as possible. I have an iPhone 4 Jailbroken running firmware v4.3.3. I typically sync my phone with my PC on a normal basis until this past October I bought a new SSD and had to re-install iTunes on my C drive. As you know, a re-install means that any re-sync with a fresh iTunes install means that the phone will basically wiped clean. Since the new iTunes install I have regularly been "Backing Up" the iPhone,(but never synced it) however this is not a "Sync" of course, but I figure it still beneficial to do. I believe I have the following options and/or issues to deal with:
1) Is there any way to "reverse-sync" the iPhone to the PC, instead of the other way around? I kept the old iTunes operating files but I am not sure which ones I'd need to copy over to which folder to make a "current" sync happen, or to "fool" iTunes into thinking nothing has changed since the fresh install.
2) I realize a "restore" will erase the jailbreak, but what if I choose "Restore From Backup", will that also erase or reset the jailbreak?
3) I am mainly concerned with calendar appointments, my apps with invaluable information, and notes. Everything else such as music I can simply re-sync if I have to.
In essence, I am trying to do a up-to-date sync with the new iTunes install and loose as little data and information as possible (or none at all). I have apps installed such as iFile that hold many files within the folder tree structure of the phone that I cannot afford to loose. I'd be willing to make backup copies of all these files if there is a viable solution for me, which Im hoping somebody can recommend to me.
If there is a special app or PC app that I need to make things run smoother or achieve my goal I am more than happy to install whatever it takes. Thank you for any responses, they are most appreciated.
I have attempted to be as detailed yet brief as possible with my explanation of the nature of my problem, yet feel free to ask a question if it will assist you in further diagnosing and solving my issue.

Let's say I, at this very moment, "Backup" my phone in iTunes. Once finished, I immediately perform a "Restore from Backup"
There will be no change in your phone, assuming you didn't change anything or receive any messages between backing up and restoring the backup. The phone will have exactly the content of what was in the backup.
will iTunes have imported all saved phone data into its registry?
It saves phone and app settings, messages, visual voicemail, contacts, Camera Roll, app data.
such as apps, music, etc., since, remember, nothing is there now. I need to put phone contents on the PC rather than the other way around
No!!!!! iTunes Store content (apps, music, media) is synced to and from iTunes - it's not in the backup. If you never synced your phone with this computer before, the first sync is unidirectional from the computer to phone. If there's nothing in the iTunes library now, what's in your phone will get deleted. In this case, you have to first "Transfer Purchases" To do this:
1. Be sure that automatic syncing on connection is disabled in iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable.....
2. Connect phone with iTunes open.
3. Right-click the device tab on left border of iTunes window.
4. Select "Transfer Purchases." Note that any music/media on the phone that was not originally obtained from the iTunes Store will not transfer to the computer.
It's now safe to sync the phone. Note that when you select "Sync" on the iTunes page, the phone is typically backed up as well, if you didn't set it up to backup to iCloud instead.

ICloud sync issues with Outlook 2007

I am currently using Outlook 2007 and want to sync my Iphone 4S with it. I have setup the icloud settings etc and I am having the following issues.
When I change something on my phone there is no wireless sync happening even though its setup?
When I go to my outlook calendar it gives me two choices. A pink tab says Calendar in Cloud and a green tab says work in Cloud. When I sync my phone calendar changes show up in the green Work in Cloud. However, the Work in Cloud does not contain many of my previous inputs prior to starting with the icloud service.
When I click on Contact it’s initially blank and says no contacts, if I click on Contacts in Cloud my contacts show up.
Can you help with these items? Thanks in advance.

ok...
From experience, I can tell you the two calendars are both default calendars with iCloud. 'Work in Cloud' probably doesn't contain any of previous inputs because your iphone probably defaults to your regular calendar.
For me, I was able to get a good understanding by looking at the icloud calendar at icloud.com and the outlook calendar side by side. I recommend doing so, and playing around with things so you can figure out how they work.
With Outlook, you are going to have locally stored stuff (like Contacts), and your cloud-stored stuff (like Contacts in Cloud). That is why you are seeing two different sets of data. It looks like you dont have any locally stored contact, which is fine. All of your contacts are in iCloud (or...Contacts in Cloud), which should correlate to your iphone. again, it might be best to just pull up icloud.com, and put it side by side with outlook. it helped me get a good understanding of how it works.

ICloud syncing issues

My calendar and notes sync via iCloud from my iPhone to my desktop but not visa versa. How can I fix that?

I looked in the app store but couldn't find iCloud. Did I misunderstand what you meant?
oh! very sorry for the misinformation, i'm probably not up to date.
it's already change to OSX Lion upgrade at 29.99$, think i just saw iCloud app mid or early last year.

ICloud syncing issues... again.

Right back to where I was a couple weeks ago. Numbers files aren't syncing to iCloud again.
Restarted, reinstalled, etc. again and still nothing. I noticed that my files weren't deleted off of the ipad when deleting the app. When I reinstalled, all of the docs that were current were there immediately and the ones that are the problem immediately went back to an "updating" status but never do.
I'm starting to wonder why I bother with this stupid app anymore. It's been useless far more than its been functional over the past couple months.
Oddly, Pages seems to be working fine.

Thanks Joe, but this has been going on here and there for months now. I've gone through all the steps on this page and was even contacted by the iWork team at one point. The service is still spotty at best (it actually happens to be working again right now).
The transient nature of the problem leads me to believe it's an Apple issue (the service itself or something triggered by various software updates), rather than some configuration problem on my system. It works for weeks then stops. At some point in the future, long after I've given up trying to resolve the issue, it starts working again. The only reason I noticed it was now working was because I received an email about your reply and decided to see if the problem was still occurring.
Just a couple weeks ago, iWork stopped syncing on not only the iOS devices but also in Yosemite. Messages poured into the forums yet Apple's status page showed that everything was ok the entire time. It was several days (or maybe a week) then everyone's iWork started syncing again at nearly exactly the same time. That's not us, that's Apple.
I think the thing that frustrates me the most is the inconvenience caused throughout the device when you follow various "troubleshooting" steps when Apple refuses to acknowledge an issue. The iWork team had me log out of iCloud, then back in... Oops! There goes all of the credit cards I set up in ApplePay on my iPhone! Reset Network Settings? Sorry, all of your network passwords are gone, you'll have to enter those now everywhere you go for the next week or two.
I'm not knocking you Joe. I truly do appreciate you taking time to reply. I'm just getting really frustrated with Apple's inability to get these things working in a stable manner and refusing to save their customers the headaches by just honestly telling us it's broken. Leaving us in the dark causes far more issues than it solves.

ICloud Syncing issues on iOS7 on 5s?

Since switching over to iOS7 and an iPhone 5s I am having the following issues:
1. All my keyboard shortcuts (which sync using icloud) are gone.
2. I cannot see any of my icloud documents in Pages, Numbers or Keynote on my iPhone?
3. If I make any changes to iwork documents on my iPad they do not upload to iCloud.
4. When I try to login to iWork in the cloud it just takes me back to the login screen without logging me in. All other iCloud functions work fine.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Know of any fixes?

Exactly the same issues on my iPad2 although all my iCloud files are visilbe on my iMac. In addition, I've lost access to my files for PDFPen on my iPad.
