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.

My iPad won't sync with iCloud anymore, iPhone and Mac are fine, suggestions?

I have NO calendars showing up in iCal, no lists in reminders, no contacts.
I've deleted the iCloud account on the iPad and resigned in - no help. All the settings for accounts are the same on my iPad and iPhone.
Curiously, I get no "Default Calendar" setting in my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" pref on the iPad

Hello Modean,
It sounds like you have deleted and re added the iCloud account to your iPad but none of the iCloud content will sync to this one device. I have a few things to recommend for you. First, delete the iCloud account again from Settings > iCloud. Then close all the apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, reset the network settings on your iPad then retest the issue:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

MacBook Pro won't sync with other devices

My MacBook pro won't sync with other devices in the house. My iPad and iPhone sync OK but MacBook won't for some reason. Can you help?

Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

My Macbook pro won't sync with my iPad. It says it isn't authorised. I have gone as far as deauthorizing all computers then authorizing the Macbook & still no luck. Any ideas?

Sorry, not sure how to screenshot on my computer, but this is what is says word for word:-
The Ipad could not b synced because the computer is not longer authorised for purchased items that are on this ipad.
To authorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorise this computer.
I have done all of that but not luck. That's when I tried deauthorising all computer which it did ok. I then authorised my Macbook pro again, it said I had one computer now authorised. I tried to delete apps via Itunes then sync to my iPad, but the above message keeps popping up & it wont do what I want.

Calendar on Macbook Pro won't synch with iCloud

Calendar on my Macbook Pro won't synch with the Calendar on iCloud. I tried a number of times to delete Calendar from iCloud in System Preferences then restart the laptop. I also switched the 'enable' function on and off in Calendar Preferences. I restarted after every attempt and also refreshed. It looks as if it's updating but then nothing happens and the triangular, exclamation mark appears, grayed out, next to the iCloud icon in Calendar. I saw an answer in the Apple Support troubleshooting section regarding this about the server having to access port 80 or 443. Could this be the problem and if so then how would I make any port accessible to the relevant server? I'm not having this problem with my other devices or computer.

Hello Wateru,
Thank you for providing the details of the calendar issue you are experiencing with your MacBook Pro. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already. I recommend continuing with the steps in the sections titled "General troubleshooting" and "Troubleshooting on OS X" in the following article:

MacBook Pro won't sync with iPhone but iPhone does

Since upgrading MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite and each of iPhone and iPad to iOS 8.1.2, whilst appointments made on iPhone and iPad appear on Calendar in MacBook Pro, those made on MacBook Pro don't appear in Calendars on my iPhone and iPad. Tried iTunes sync with cable, WiFi while connected to power, have read Forums, etc but no luck. Effectively "One way sync" only. Has any one else experienced and rectified this issue??

Macbook pro won't sync with Treo 650 via bluetooth.

I can only do one sync with Windows XP before the comm ports fail and I have to reboot the computer to be able to do a sync with my Treo 650 via bluetooth. It works well but only once then the ports all shut down of something. Any suggestions would be apprectiated.

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.

ICal on macbook pro won't sync iCal events from iPhone 5

I've synced/backed up my iPhone 5 with iTunes within the past hour.
After it finished, I went onto iCal on my macbook pro and saw that it didn't have events my iPhone 5 had.
So then I went to settings and changed the iCloud settings so that it would back up iCal.
But even after that, it took too long to back up and it failed at backing it up.
So I googled how long iCloud takes to back up and realized that the more I had for it to back up, the longer it takes.
Now I'm down to 500-something mb for iCloud to back up. It's still taking a long time.
THEN I googled to see if anyone else has had any problems with syncing iCal.
There was one person who deleted iTunes 11.0.1 and downgraded to the 10 version.
Is there any way for me to sync/backup my iCal on my macbook pro with iCal events from my iPhone 5, vice versa?
(Other than downgrading, if there is one)

How do I get the default Photostream on my MacBook Pro to match the Photostream on my iPhone and iPad?

Essentially, I am having issues getting photos that I save on my iPhone or iPad to automatically appear on my MacBook's iPhoto app (and vice versa). The iPad and iPhone automatically share all photos between each other. I have iCloud set up and all of the photo sharing options selected on all devices, so that's not the issue. I used a bit of a workaround and created and shared a custom stream, which ultimately works. However, it involves a lot of moving photos around on all three devices, so I'd like to get the Photostream service working the way it's intended by getting the default Photostream connected to my iCloud account automatically syncing among all three devices.
Thanks.

Photos are kept in the My Photo Stream for 30 days or until more than 1000 have been added. The photos will remain in the MPS for longer than 30 days if the 1000 limit is not reached.
However, depending on when a device joined the iCloud feature and started receiving the MPS it will not see any that were added more than 30 days from the date of joining. So if your MBP signed into iCloud and the MPS feature later than the other 2 devices it will not see photos that they might. Also if you've turned off My Photo Stream on the MPB and then added it back it will only see the last 30 days worth.

How do I get my contacts to sync using iCloud for iPhone and iPad.

I can sync my pictures using icloud on my iPhone and my iPad however when I try to do the same for contacts having no luck. Also when I type a callander event on my iPad it comes up on my phone however when I type entry on iPad on calendar it does not come up on my phone.. Can anyone help.

Yes I agree with iamjeremie above. I am a newbie and had some trouble with this myself over last few days but now sorted.
You can also select existing cal entries, edit them and change calendar to correct one (iCloud cal in your case). Yes you need to set iCloud cal as default in settings. Also it may be worth disabling other unused or unwanted calendars in other accounts if you only want to use iCloud. Make sure to accept the prompt and save existing entries to device when disabling accounts so you do not loose or switch off your existing entries. Less confusing that way. Remember you can change entries to another cal in the future if you wish.
Keep it simple. I now have 2 calendars set up on iPhone and one on iPad.
Exchange cal for work. On exchange server at work and work stuff syncs with windows PC and server at work.
Hotmail cal for personal stuff that syncs with work iPhone, home PC and personal iPad.
I would have used iCloud for all but work iPhone and personal iPad are on separate iCloud accounts.
This was a work around and works great for me and enables me to enter synced personal cal entries on my work iPhone.

Removing a iphone from syncing with my work iphone and ipad

I have recently got a new iphone from work and given my iphone (4) to my daughter (mum still paying the contract!) how do I stop her getting my imessages, which still show on my old phone? Can't seem to remove from my account..

you can go to settings and store and sign the appleID out
but easy way is to restore it to fectory settings and start it over as a new one
of cause this does mean she will loose all apps bought with your appleID but there is no way around that happening unless you also disable iMessage support in settings

Cannot send or receive email from laptop or desktop using icloud. Iphone and ipad work fine.

My mail server on my laptop and on my desktop are basically useless. My ipad and iphone seem to be working fine.

The laptop seems to have been fixed by the fix listed. My desktop, however, still is unable to receive or send mail.
this is the message I am receiving.
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to connect to server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” using SSL on port 587. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.
thanks so much

My iMessages sent from my mac pro doesn't come out on my iPhone and ipad

hi ! imessages sent from my macbook pro doesn't come out on my iphone and ipad, any leads on how to address this?
thanks

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so:
Apple - My Apple ID
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
Sign out on the iPhone
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap Use Your Apple ID for iMessage.
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions. See:

Macbook Pro won't boot with external HDD plugged

I have a weird problem. My late 2008 Macbook Pro won't start with external HDD plugged either FW or USB... The screen stays white until I unplug it and then the Apple logo is there.
Anyone know any solution for this? Or anyone have the same problem

yeah I had the exact same issue with one of my 750GB externals too. I just left it for a while (about an hour or so) and it was fine..
I believe its so slow because the system is indexing the drive, which can be a very slow process if the drive is big, has a complex folder-hierarchy, and/or is fragmented.
Does the hard-drive appear quite quickly in Finder once OS X has started up? if its slow it may confirm what I've just said.
