Messenger and Contacts not the same over different devices

I upgraded to iOS8 on my 5S and iPad 4th gen.
Then I updated my MBP to Yosemite Beta - just in case I need to utilize iCoud Drive. I'm not using it.
On my phone, I noticed that my contacts got jacked up. First noticed it in my Favorites, where names used to be, there's numbers. I notice much of the same thing when I open Messenger on the phone. On my computers and iPad, Messenger has all the contact info the same - the way it used to be.
I've been around since the @mac.com days, so I have that id. As well as a @me.com from that transition. And of course, the @icloud.com id. I did notice, that one of the device (don't remember which one) was using the iCloud id while the rest wear using the me.com id. Figured that it wouldn't matter, since they're all Apple id's that have merged all my data over the years.
thoughts?
thanks

What do you mean by "synched on the iPad and iPhone"? Are you using iCloud?

Content of photostream not the same on all devices?

I have a iMac, iPad and an iPhone. All photos are added to iCloud with Photostream, but the content of the photostream on iCloud is not the same on all devices. I thought that the content would be synchronised. 487 photos on iPad, 529 Photos on iPhone and 596 Photos on iMac. Just now I have all devices turned on, connected to the same wifi, but no synchronising is taking place. How is this soposed to work?

This usually happens because, while you can keep 1000 photo stream photos on your devices regardless of age, they only remain in iCloud for 30 days. Photo stream photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server so depending on when you enabled my photo stream, you devices would have a different number of photos. You can always add any missing photos to a shared stream on the device that has them in order to stream them to your other devices.

Synced times in ical between iphone and Macbook not the same

I have tried syncing my ical to my iphone using itunes and the times on my iphone are not the same as my ical. for example 1.30 pm for an appointment in my ical reads as 4.00am and the next day on my iphone calendar. How do I fix this?

Are both the iPhone and your Mac set to the same (local) time zone? Do you have Time Zone support turned on in iCal Preferences and in iPhone > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar?

Thanks sabre!
Very insightful.
I used PKCS5Padding and the file has all of the data, but there are extra padding at the end of the second line
Also,
how would you store your key and iv?
Currently I using this to create the iv and key:
public class KeyClass {
private SecretKeySpec keygeneration() {
SecretKeySpec skeySpec=null;
try {
KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
kgen.init(128);
SecretKey skey = kgen.generateKey();
byte[] key = skey.getEncoded();
skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key,"AES");
}catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("error in keygen = "+e);
return skeySpec;
public void keyFile() {
try{
FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream("c:\\keyFile.txt");
DataOutputStream dos=new DataOutputStream(fos);
SecretKeySpec skeySpec=keygeneration();
byte[] key=skeySpec.getEncoded();
BASE64Encoder base64 = new BASE64Encoder();
String encodedString = base64.encodeBuffer(key);
dos.write(encodedString.getBytes());
}catch(Exception e1){
System.out.println("error file write "+e1);
public static void main(String args[]){
KeyClass cKey = new KeyClass();
cKey.keyFile();

HT201077 Why are my photos on my iphone and ipad not the same?

My camera roll and photo stream on my iphone 4 and ipad 2 are not the same. I have the same apple id for both and both devices are running ios 7.0.4.
Any ideas?

The camera roll contains photos actually taken on your device, or saved from text messages, emails, websites, etc. Because of this you shouldn't expect both devices to have the same photos in the camera roll.
The my photo stream album is also usually differerent on your devices. This happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though they stay on your devices longer). When you enable photo stream on a device, it can only receive photo stream photos still in iCloud, which are those from the last 30 days. A consequence of this is that unless you enabled photo stream on both devices within 30 days of each other, one is likely to end up with fewer photo stream photos than the other.

Is there a way to have 2 separate icloud accounts posting photos and contacts to the same central repository?

My wife and I have iPhone 4S's but are currently sharing the same iCloud account. I would like to set her up with her own account but I would like to share contacts and photos on the iCloud. Is there a way to share this across 2 iCloud accounts?
Thanks,

It is possible to remove passwords from their accounts; so that they are not needed to log in.
A passwordless admin account is a very bad idea. So if either of them are using admin accounts now (which they shouldn't be anyway), have them create a third account, make it admin, and then remove admin privileges and passwords from their own two user accounts. Keep a password on the admin account.

Forms Modules under 10g and 11g not the same!

Hi
I 'am facing a prb with forms 10g at work, when I open a forms module with forms builder 10g, the items are all showing as radion button , but when I open the same forms module with forms builder 11g the items are all showing normaly as text item .
Could any one explain the prbs plz?
Thanks

Are you trying to open a form that you modified with Forms 11g? If so, Oracle Forms is not backward compatible; meaning, a Forms 11g file can only be opened by Forms 11g. Even different versions of the same release are not backward compatible; eg, Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) cannot open a 10.1.2.3.0 file.

So, printing an image from PS is OK, but from LR it's dark?
Do both have the same printer ICC profile selected?

HT201317 Photo stream number of photos is not the same depending which device I use

Why do I see different quantity of photos from different devices when I go to my photo stream?
From my iPhone i see ~618, while from my ipad I see less than that (~570)
Thanks

That's because photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are deleted from your photo stream but will remain on your device until deleted. When you connect a new device to your photo stream, it will only receive the photos from the last 30 days, as the others are no longer there. Thus, connecting different devices to your photo stream at different times results in a different number of photo stream photos on the device. In your example, your iPad was probably connected to your photo stream after your iPhone.

Why are my ITunes playlists on my iPhone, iPad and Mac not the same?

I don't understand the ITunes. I have an Iphone, Ipad and new Mac Probook with Retina Display. When I add songs to ITunes my playlists do not synchronize. I have to manually delete the playlist on my Mac, create new ones, then synch with USB to each device. Isn't there an easier way to manage the playlists?

You can't drag and drop content onto smart playlists, only regular ones.

Design and preview not the same

I am a new Muse CC user so bear with me.
I have deleted all graphics and navigation items from my three pages. All that is left is the page area. I put text boxes in each of my pages. I get about 3 inches of extra white space at the bottom of my page. I stoked the page area so I can see its area.
In design mode it looks fine. In preview mode it gets about three inches longer.
What have I done to make this happen?

Hello,
Please go to File -> Site Properties and disable "sticky footer" to see if that resolves the issue.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:
Understanding Home Sharing
iOS- Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd & 3rd generation)
iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
