IPhone is not syncing to iCloud.

I have an iPhone 5 and a Mac Book Pro. The problem is that my contacts, calendar, notes, and mail does not sync from my phone to iCloud but 'Reminders' does sync. Also when I open iCloud on my Mac it states that I do not have Pages but I do have it. On my phone iCloud is turned on for all catagories, I tried turning them on and off but it hasn't worked.

Make sure that all the iCloud services are enabled on your Mac as well. Open System Preferences > iCloud.
Also make sure that your Contacts, Calendar, Notes, etc. are set to sync over your iCloud account (they should be under the account "iCloud" rather than "On My Mac").

My iphone is not syncing with iCloud

Hi, i have just noticed (it may have been going on for a few weeks) that my iPhone 4 (IOS6) will not sync with icloud. This has not been a problem in the past. If I put a new event on the phone, it is not shown on icloud and vice-versa.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [scroll down to the Contacts area] > Default Account.
Is this set to "iCloud"?
Do you have such a setting (Default Account)? Frankly, I don't ... all my contacts have been in iCloud (only) for years. But I'm thinking you do have this setting based on this article:

Contacts on iPhone do not sync to iCloud

I use Outlook on Windows7 and iPhone 4 to sync thru iCloud. Calendar, Photostream and Contacts sync successfully, but Contacts sync only for the first time. Added contacts or edited contacts do not sync between iPhone and iCloud, but they sync between Outlook and iCloud. I just realized now that the "working" circulating icon appears all the time when I open Contacts and it never disappear, so it is trying to do something but never synced to iCloud. What would be the problem?

Here's how I fixed it:
When you're in contacts on ipad or iphone, touch "groups" on upper left. I was making all changes on my ipad/iphone when I had the group "all contacts" chosen. Choose "all icloud" group and leave it there and when you add or make changes, it will sync to icloud. All my contacts were on my google account, but not in icloud so I used the following instructions to sync my google contacts to icloud. It worked perfectly. Now I leave my ipad/iphone group set to "all icloud" and it's all syncing to icloud between the ipad2/iphone 4s and imac.
Thought I'd share how I did this since I'm new to iPhones, iCloud.
I found other tutorials that involved iTunes and such but I didn't want the hassle.
Requirements are Gmail Account and a valid iCloud account (Apple ID)
1. Go to your Google Contacts
2. Click the More menu > Export
3. Choose the group or all of your contacts you wish to export, whichever you prefer.
4. Choose vCard format and click the Export button.
5. You will now have a contacts.vcf which has been downloaded to your computer. Put it on your desktop if you prefer.
6. Rename contacts.vcf to yournamehere.vcf (example: stephan.vcf)
7. Log in to iCloud. www.icloud.com
8. Click Contacts
Important Note: Make sure there are no contacts listed here before importing or this may not work. The page needs to be blank.
9. Drag the .vcf file into the window under All Contacts.
The page will highlight with a blue rectangle when you drag the .vcf onto it. Wait a little bit. (It took about 8 seconds for mine to import. I only have 136 contacts though.)
On your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud and make sure Contacts is listed as ON.

IPhone does not sync with iCloud

Calendar data is not synced with iCloud so I don't get new data on my iMac Maverick

Thank you for help

Hi Daniel Stonek,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iPhone's calendar events are not syncing properly to other devices, I would use the iOS section of this article to troubleshoot:

IPhone Calendar not syncing to iCloud

I am running 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5c and when I add an event or appointment on my calendar, it does not sync with iCloud. When I add an appointment from icloud.com or from Outlook on my computer, it works and will sync to my phone. Just not when I add an appointment from iPhone.
Help please?
Thanks.

Howdy jandally,
It sounds like you are adding events to your iPhone 5c calendar, but they do not sync up to iCloud, but adding them to iCloud.com does sync to the phone. I would use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article to help you get that going again, named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Calendar on iPhone does not sync to iCloud

I have never synced anything to iCloud before. I would like to sync my iPhone 4s Calendar to the iCloud (iOS 7.0.4). I have followed all the instructions to sync to iCloud using the settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendars and iCloud, but it doesn't seem to be sending my iPhone Calendar data to the iCloud. Since I don't have any other means to back up my Calendar, I can' afford to lose my iPhone calendar data, since iTunes no longer syncs my iPhone calendar data to my iMac. The calendar data on my iMac is not current . Any suggestions would be welcome.

Welcome to the Apple Community limill.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

The music on my iPhone is not syncing to iCloud

Help!!! I thought I synced my iPhone to iCloud but why isn't iTunes music that's on my phone showing up in iCloud?

iCloud does not sync your iTunes library unless you subscribe to iTunes Match.

Some contacts on my iPhone are not syncing to iCloud

Most of my contacts sync from my iPhone 4 to iCloud but there are some that do not. I check iCloud.com and cannot find them but yet on my phone the contacts appear on the iCloud section of my "Contacts".
Have searched the forum and cannot find anything that might help me.
Some contacts I find that do not sync have custom labels - but other contacts do have custom labels and sync without any issues.
Stuck as some of the people that don't sync are people I contact often!
Thanks for any help given.

YAY! So I figured out a simple way to do this. I'll try to keep the steps simple.
1. I went to icloud.com and into my calendar.
2. I created a new calendar for each of my calendars. (for instance, I have family, friends, business, etc.)
3. I then went to the iMac ICal and exported each of my calendars (those which i just created a new calendar for on icloud) under "on my mac".
4. I then imported them into those new folders on the Mac into the "Icloud" calendars I created moments ago. Be sure when you import you SELECT that calendar.
5. Once that is all done you can delete the calendars "on your mac" so there aren't duplicates.
6. NOW all your events should sync. Apparently Icloud doesn't sync calendars "on the mac" only in the "icloud", which is obviously different from what mobile me did.

Calendar entries made on Iphone do not sync to Icloud

Why do my appointment entries made in Icloud calendar sync to phone but, appointment entries made on phone do not sync to I coud calendar.

Hello, benji0023.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you may have another over the air account similar to iCloud enabled on your device. Most mail hosts, like Gmail and Yahoo, offer a similar feature to iCloud. You can check to see if one is enabled by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and go through each mail account on the device for the calendar setting set to on. If you turn off these features you may remove some calendar entries as it sounds like they may be set to default. You can also change the default calendar under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars to iCloud.

Iphone 6 not syncing with iCloud or uploading photos

since switching to the beta version (probably a big mistake in hindsight) my shiny new iPhone 6 will no longer sync with my iPad or upload photos to the iCloud. I get a persistent message stating I need to connect to wifi to upload - but my phone is connected to wifi every day and meanwhile the total number of photos not uploaded steadily increases.
I Have been unable to find an answer anywhere - even in the Apple Store Genius Bar, where they clearly couldn't be bothered.
Aby help would be gratefully received!

Thanks Wilkie.
No, I haven't tried re-enrolling to iCloud but have searched pretty much everywhere for a resolution. It does seem as if I'm not alone with this experience though. My iPad seems fine but the iPhone 6 just will no longer sync with the iPad or the cloud. I did see a suggestion that turning the "upload to photo stream" off and on might rectify it, but I don't want to risk losing any photos or videos. This is extremely frustrating and I only wish Apple had warned of this possibly happening so I had the choice whether or not to accept the beta "upgrade". It would help if there was some news on when the beta version will end in the hope that this problem will also.
I do have other cloud storage and I am aware I can upload my photos to a shared account as a "get around" but the principle here is that Apple have messed things up and don't seem to be in a hurry to put them right either!

My iPhone 4 calendar won't sync to iCloud. If I make a new event on my iCal on my MBP it will sync to iCloud and to my iPhone, but any new events I create on my iPhone will not sync to iCloud. Any potential solutions?

I have tried numerous things like turning off iCloud on both devices and rebooting them and turning iCal on again, checking the settings, checking what calendars are being used but nothing has worked so far. Any other solutions welcome! Hoping I will not have to resort to restoring my iPhone completely.

Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Google calendar, etc. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your phone to your calendar on icloud.com. Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On. Then add a new event on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.

Safari bookmarks on iPhone 5s not syncing from iCloud

I got my new iPhone 5s and even though I signed in to my iCloud.. The bookmarks I have on safari on my iPad mini don't show up on my iPhone 5s. I already tried turning safari off on the iCloud then on again, I tried turning off my iphone, tried signing out of my iCloud on the iPhone and then signed in again... But still nothing...
Help!
Thanks!

I know this is a really late reply but I found this solution on another thread which worked for me and hope it does the same for you:
While Safari is open on your Mac, click the bookmarks icon in the upper left corner, click Favorites Bar (if using), open a folder. Now open your iPhone and open Safari, click the bookmarks icon on the bottom and open Favorites to the same folder. I am able to move one bookmark on my computer and within a few seconds actually watch it move on the phone to the same spot.

Why will my iphone 4s not sync with icloud

I spent 3 hours on the phone with Apple support last week and they could not solve the problem. I have talked to nummerous people who are having the same problem.

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!
