IWork iOS Documents will not sync.

If I create a Pages, Numbers, Keynote doc on my iPhone 4S it will not be synced to my iCloud account.
Documents that are already on my iCloud (created and synced from my iPad) will not sync back down to my iPhone.
Photostream, however, does work.
iCloud backup also works.
It's just the iWork documents that will not propagate to and from the iPhone.
Everything is updated.
All settings are turned on.
Everything thing is on the same iCloud account.
I have toggled everything on and off and reset.
I have erased iWork apps and reinstalled.
I have singed out of the iCloud account on everything and signed back in.
I have completely erased the phone and reinstalled everything from scratch.
And, I have spent two hours talking to four different "Geniuses" at the Smithhaven, NY Apple Store on 2/16/12.
They were friendly and dedicated but could offer no help and sent me home with with a shrug of their shoulders.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, I suppose I should have posted here some time ago instead of just lurking waiting for the answer to show up so that I could follow the same procedure. Then again, maybe I am doing that since the proper procedure was to publicly state that I have the problem so that Apple can fix it for me.
I'd still like to know the origin of the problem. I believe mine began when I lost cell phone coverage as I worked on a document. I'm an ecologist working in Ecuador, and was in the field without reception for several days after that; when I returned to modern communications technology none of my new files would upload to iCloud nor have any new files created on my Mac downloaded to my iPad 2 since then. When the problem began I was using iOS 5, but have since upgraded to iOS 6 and still have the same issue. (I also foolishly did a backup and restore without reading the fine print about it not backing up iWork documents. I lost a good bit of work and data there…)
HELP! Thank you.

3GS on iOS 6 will not sync most of music via cable

I upgraded my 3GS to iOS 6, and most of my music will not sync via cable. I can check it all in iTunes, but the space allocation bar in iTunes does not change (on iOS5 I only had 1G free, now I have 8 G free), but only about 1/4 shows up on the phone. I did full restore--no change. I checked fill free space with songs--no change. Help! It might be that only music bought from iTunes is syncing and music I ripped myself or bought from Amazon is not syncing--i.e. my enire pre-iphone collection.

Ok solved my own problem--but this is squirrely. In itunes, at the bottom of the "Summary" tab for your phone, is an "Options" section. For some reason, having "Sync only checked songs and videos" checked here only allowed 47 of 1900 songs to sync--even if they were checked on the music tab. Unchecking this box and managing music from the music tab alone fixed the issue.

My ipod touch 4g ios 5 will not sync auto with itunes

I recently downloaded ios 5 to my ipod touch 4g but now it won't auto sync with itunes. I have tried every thing!!

After reading all the discussions I have decided the fault lies with the new ios 5 and until Apple comes up with a fix I will not resolve it. I also read in these discussions about problems with Audiobooks not showing up as audiobooks in itunes but as music. As an audiobook reader here is what I have discovered: I have an audible.com acct and so far I have noticed no change when I purchase and download a book from that site. The problem comes when I use Overdrive Media which uses DRM and WMA format. These show up in itunes but not in my ipod which means I can only listen to them on my pc or laptop.

Ios 5 will not sync phone in itunes after upgrade

IPhone 4S with IOS 8 will not sync with iTunes on a Mac.

I can not sync my iPhone 4S with iTunes on my Mac. Had to delete the music I had to make room for the upgrade to IOS 8 and now I can't put any playlists back on my phone. What gives?

Hi zara,
the thing is we have no option in iTunes to allow it, no check box. Perhaps this is because we're not meeting the system requirements as listed by Apple in this KB article.
Wi-Fi Syncing requires:
An iOS device running iOS 5 or later, and a computer running iTunes 10.5 or later on:
OS X Lion or Snow Leopard (version 10.6.8)
or
Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
So it CAN be done with Snow Leopard apparently, but not Leopard (as carmstr27 indicates he/she's using). I'll give it a try once 10.6.8 v1.1 downloads and installs.

IOS 4 will not sync Photos

I plug in my iPod touch and it will backup and sync everything just fine until it reaches the end where it will usually ad photos from my iPhoto library and this window comes up and no photos are on my iPod except the ones in the Saved Photos album.
Anyone else have this problem?

Sorry, I used this post a lot... but i think it solves the problem.
Ok, i got my iOS 4 to install finally, after 2 restarts (Microsoft updates... idk if that did it) and a whole lot of try try again, I found something though, that might have did it.
When you are restoring, all the other tabs (Apps, Music, Movies, Podcasts.... Contacts) in iTunes, those for some reason get unchecked, so the restore is trying to add all the apps back and other media/information; while iTunes sync options are not selected. Basically, i think what is happening is, the restore says install, but iTunes sees the "not selected to be synced"-no install, the two contradict the other, so you wind up with useless app icons, and no music/multimedia.
How I solved it, was I stopped the restore, told it I wanted to start anew ipod, then reselected that I wanted to sync Music, Apps, etc. to my ipod, then, apply- but I either stopped it, or let it fail, then I went back to my restore button, and re-uploaded it from were it was last backed up. Now I have a fully functioning iPod Touch os 4, and i think all my apps but 2 (may need to uninstall, then reinstall, or just wait for the updates for these to make them compatible), and i have all my old media, info, and app data back. Hope this helped... I also my just have had sheer luck with this as well. Good luck though.

Some events on my iphone 4 (ios 5) will not sync with ical on my mac (using itunes/usb for sync)

If I add an event on the calendar on my mac - it does go to my iphone. If I change an event that HAD synced previously (not sure when this problem started, but i had never had a problem syncing before) that change goes thru. But I have several events on my iphone that just won't transfer to the Mac

My Iphone 4 crashed yesterday after a restart and upload of OS 5.0, it will only partially sync. It's not transferring any of my music or ringtones. They still appear when I click open the sync screens on ITunes, but I don't seem to have an Ipod function and only one of my personalized ringtones transfers on the actual phone.

IPhone 3GS (iOS 5) will not sync, stuck on *backing up* in iTunes 10.6.3.25

I recently updated iTunes to the latest update for Windows, since then, whenever I connect my phone and try to sync it just gets stuck in *backing up* for ages.. if I leave it it will be in backing up for hours. I cannot sync my phone or add any content now. I've been told to try and click the *X* in the progress window at the top of iTunes - but doing this does nothing but freeze iTunes for a few minutes - then it continues to *back up*... frustrating. Can anyone help?
Ta very much,
Chrissi
Windows 7 Home Premium, iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.1.1) and iTunes 10.6.3.25
I am also having this problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4076906?tstart=0 Could they be related?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if the problem has been resolved.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Specific Pages document will not sync to iPad?

I have a document which I created in Pages on my iPad, which is using iCloud for document storage. When I updated to Mountain Lion and the latest Pages for Mac, this document - and another I had imported from a Word document, both in the same iCloud folder - did not initially appear, though both could be in iCloud found when using the search function within Pages for Mac. I edited the document on my Mac.
Afterwards, I found that folder did not appear in Pages on either my iPhone or iPad. After editing that document and moving it to another folder with older documents in it, it reappeared on my iPhone, but not on my iPad. I have tried everything I can think of short of restoring the iPad from backup: editing various documents or moving them, both from the iPad and my other devices, to try and provoke a refresh on the iPad; turning iCloud usage off and back on, so that all doucments are downloaded again; removing Pages from the iPad altogether, then reinstalling it; even temporarily turning off iCloud backup of Pages on the iPad before reinstalling it, to make sure it's downloading an outdated backup of the files instead of accessing what's currently on iCloud.
No matter what I do, that document - of course the one I most need to work on - appears in iCloud on icloud.com, my iPhone and my Mac when looking at Pages docs, but not on the iPad. It does appear in the list of Pages documents if I go into "Manage Storage" under iCloud -> Storage & Backup in Settings on the iPad, but I cannot access it via the Pages app.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Given everything else I've tried I have a hard time believing it will be fixed by restoring to a backup,and I'm worried about versioning problems if I try and import it on the iPad (by emailing it to myself or similar).

If you are able to move the document to your desktop on your Mac, you should do so. Then delete all references to that document in the iCloud on your mobile devices, at iCloud.com and if necessary from system preferences> iCloud> manage.
Once you are sure it has been removed from all locations, try adding it back using a slightly different filename, from your desktop.

HT3819 iOS devices will not sync Photo stream

I have 1,000+ photos in photostream on my iphone 5s; of those only 629 appear in photostream on my ipad4 and only 50 show in our newly acquired Appletv. All iOS devices are connected to the same home wifi. What's going on? Is there anyway to force all three devices to sync all the photos? Sometimes I've read it may take a day or two, but in this case it has been over 2 weeks. Much appreciated!

Apple TV is accessing the most up to date stream, which only has photos from the past 30 days.

ITunes 11.1.1 will not sync with ios 7.02 - "waiting for changes to applied"

iTunes 11.1.1 running on MacBook Air will not sync with ios 7.02 - "waiting for changes to be applied". I have been having this issue since upgrading to 11.1. I thought the upgrade to 11.1.1 will take care of it

Anyone having this same problem? I need my iPad to sync! efclvkjhbsdfvlkj
Yes, my iPhone 5 running ios 7 will not sync in *any* way with itunes now. I can neither add nor remove content via itunes. I just tried to delete 100% of my music from my iphone, it hung forever on "Waiting for changes to be applied" and then when it was finally done... no changes had been applied.
I can't add, remove, change, delete or in any way of any kind sync my iphone with itunes any longer.
I'm becoming the person who refuses to update to the new Apple OS. I used to get very excited about new OS updates. That all ended around Mountain Lion. Yesterday when I saw that Mavericks was out I wasn't excited. Instead I felt a sense of dread, and for good reason. Every time they release an OS in the last few years it's just a cluster-F.

Yahoo calender will not sync to iphone

My iphone 4 with upgrade to ios 5 will not sync my calender info to my phone.

had same issues. I put event via iphone and did not sync with yahoo but did with ical on the mac. main problem was writing events on the iphone not syncing. I have tried many ways to solve but I may have seemed to solve it (for me anyway) but you could give it a try.
Go to Settings- Mail,contacts,calenders.
Scroll down to calenders.
Choose DEFAULT CALENDER.
If it is ticked on icloud change it to Yahoo! which is probably at the top.
I then tried to write an event via the iphone and hey presto, it was added to my yahoo and ical calenders. Remember it may take a while unless you have set everything to push. i will give this a few tests (as i onlytried it a few moments ago myself) but seems to work.

IPhone iOS 5.1.1 will not sync voice memos to iTunes

My iPhone running iOS 5.1.1 will not sync voice memos to iTunes. I have tried trimming the memos, and changed the label. No go. The "include voice memos" is checked on iTunes sync, but iTunes won't even create a voice memos playlist. Help? These are brand new recordings, and they are too long to email.

Try Handbrake to convert your movie to an iPhone format. Then reimport it to iTunes and synch to your phone.

After updating iphone 3gs to ios 5 music and photos will not sync

Photos will not sync across devices in iOS 8.1

I have iOS 8.1.1 on both my iPad and my iPhone 5. After installing the new iOS and selecting 'iCloud Photo Library (Beta)' on both devices, the 'my photo stream' folder has disappeared and photos will not sync across devices. Everything was fine prior to installing the new iOS. Can anyone help me to fix this? Thank you!

Hi sueb21,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta there are some differences from what you may be use to. Please read over the attached article for information on how your pictures are now organized and for how you can turn it off if you choose to do so.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
What happened to the My Photo Stream and Camera Roll albums?
The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact scroll view, now with all your photos and videos organized by the date they were added. Learn more about finding photos in iOS 8.
After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals. See how to upload originals below.
Have a great day,
Joe
