My iPad and Mac aren't synching. It used to automatically with iCloud.

My iPad and Mac dont seem to be synching with iCloud. Also, when I connected the iPad via the USB it stayed on Step 2 of the synching process and never got past there.

I found the answer... to disable "Find my iPad" first before trying to delete the iCloud account, and the password was accepted. When I tried deleting the iCloud account before disabling "Find my iPad", the password wasn´t accepted.

My iCalendar syncs between my iPad and my iPhone, but doesn't sync every entry with iCloud on my PC. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I live by my iCalendar and when I pulled it up on my PC this evening, I've noticed that only certain entries are syncing with my iCalendar (on my PC). For example, my work schedule is present on my PC, iPhone, and iPad, but my class schedule is only present on my iPad and iPhone. I have my settings adjusted so that every event/entry is to sync, and I just plugged my iPhone into my computer to sync it as well but to no avail.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

How to synch notes between ipad and mac, how to synch notes between ipad and mac

I have an apple id and an me.com address. I've turned icloud on my macbookpro and my ipad. However, notes does not ever synchronize between the two. "It just works" seems to be misleading. Apparently some set up is required?

Hello,
i experiment the same problem.
Although i've done all the cleanings adviced by RHab nothing synchronize with the iPad but everything is fine with the iphone, that 's so strange !
I've got my notes on my Mac, on my iPhone, on icloud.com and everything synchronizes.
But despite the same settings on the iPhone and on the iPad there's any notes on the iPad app.
There must be something i miss
thanks a lot in advance for your help

I have been using iCloud since it came out to coordinate my schedules from my phone, ipad and Mac laptop. Last week they stopped synching...I can't upgrade b/c of memory. Could this cause the problem?

I have been using iCloud since it came out to coordinate my schedules from my phone, ipad and Mac laptop. Last week they stopped synching...I can't upgrade past OS 5.1.1. b/c of memory (1st generation iPad and iPhone 4s). Could this cause the problem after the release of the new OS?

My iPhone was set to the wrong ICloud account; how can i reset it so it is on the same one as my iPad and MAC?

My new iPhone was mistakenly setup with a new account diferent from theone on my iPad and MAC, iTunes and Mobile Me. I finally got Lion and moved my MobileMe to iCloud. I then found out this mistake when my iPhone was not synching with my iPad and MAC. the onloy way I can see to fix this is reset the account my iPhone iCloud if set to, but see not way to do that or any instruction to do this resetting. Does anyone know how to do this?

Go to Settings>Mail, etc.>iCloud and delete the account. Then add in a new account with the details you want.

Pages docs no longer seem to sync and update in iCloud. My iPad and Mac still do, just not my iPhone.

My Pages docs used to update and synch through iCloud but do not seem to anymore. My iPad and MACs are fine. I have data settings turned out for Pages.

Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and make sure Documents & Data is set to on, and that Pages is set to on. Then go to Settings>Pages and make sure Pages is turned on.
If they are turned on, try turning them off, then back on.

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I love Apple and I use all product. iPhone 3,3s,4,4s,5, iPad and Mac Air(now no more 3,3s and 4)... Only one thing I want to know is... What can I do if some one spy on my phone? How do I protect all my stuff that I put in my phone?

the only way that anyone would be able to see anything at all on your phone is if they knew your apple id password, or they were looking over your shoulder
if you are concerned that someone may know your apple id password, please change it at appleid.apple.com

Ipad and mac not syncing with icloud

I am unable to sync my photos and contacts from my ipad with my Mac through icloud. The ipad and mac both have the latest update.

For icloud email on your device, you must have icloud turned on, but also have the Mail app set up to connect to icloud. In Settings>Mail, Contacts,... look in the Mail section under Accounts. You must set up your icloud email account there in order to use the Mail app to read and send emails.

Sync reading location pdf file on ipad and mac

Is there anyway to keep the reading location sync'd between an ipad and a mac with a pdf file?
I have the pdf file in the ibook library that is sync'd between my ipad and mac, however, my
reading location doesn't seem to be updated.

Not sure what a "Preview File" is ... but I will assume you mean a PDF file.
First of all, Apple products are very good at reading PDF files. In general, you don't need any special PDF viewer, as these are built in.
The place I would store PDF documents is in the iBooks reader. iBooks is a free app available in the App Store. It is where you would keep books you purchase in the App Store. Those books are stored in iTunes on your computer. You can store your PDFs there too.
To find PDFs, open iBooks, click on the "Books" button and then select PDFs.

Here's how to sync your Notes between iPad and Mac

This is not immediately obvious and took me several conversations with various AppleCare techs before I finally got the solution as to why my notes on my iPad where not syncing to my Mac Pro. The problem seems to be that you can't sync if you only have Notes on your iPad. You must have notes on your Mac to which unlike Calendar and Contacts don't have corresponding standalone applications, iCal and Addressbook, respectively. Notes exist within Mac Mail. I only had Notes on my iPad and none on my Mac Pro. In this event here's what to do to get setup and syncing:
SETUP:
1. Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked although, syncing via the cloud apparently won't happen until iOS 4.2.
2. With Mac Mail launched, if you've never created a note in Mac Mail, in the left column you should see:
MAILBOXES
ON MY MAC
RSS
or if you've created some notes on your Mac Mail, you'll see:
MAILBOXES
REMINDER
- Notes
ON MY MAC
RSS
The key is you have to have REMINDERS created. So if you don't have it created, when you sync your iPad and Mac, the iPad doesn't know what to do as there's no "receptacle" for it's notes on your Mac.
So in Mail, in the top of the window create a new Note, click the notepad icon to the right of the New Message.
Now REMINDERS will be created in Mail's left column with this new note. You can simply put "Test" or whatever and click "Done" in the upper left of the Note's window.
3. Plug your iPad into your Mac, in iTunes, in the left column click your iPad under DEVICES the Info tab in the top. At the bottom of the page is "Other" > click: Sync notes. Do NOT click the checkbox "Notes" in the next section under "Advanced"
4. Click "Apply" at the bottom of the page and your iPad and Mac will begin to sync. It may take awhile as I believe it is doing both a sync and backup.
Once this process is done, you'll see your notes fully sync'd on your iPad and Mac. Yea! but there's more...
5. Notes created in Mac Mail show up in 2 places: your MAILBOXES > Inbox and under REMINDERS > Notes, and if you delete the Mac Mail note in your inbox, it deletes the note in your REMINDERS.
This is unfortunate and not great interface design IMHO and should be remedied.
Luckily the last Tier 2 AppleCare tech I just spoke with had a workaround for this, which is:
6. Create a new mailbox inside Notes under REMINDERS. Click Notes, then go to Mailbox > New Mailbox... in the top of your monitor screen.
Under the location pulldown it should show a notepad icon and On My Mac.
For the Name, I called my new mailbox "iPad Notes" Then click OK.
Then a triangle appears next to Notes mailbox to access this new subfolder (iPad Notes) and you then drag your now sync'd notes from Notes under REMINDERS to your "iPad Notes" subfolder under Notes. Now your left column will look like:
MAILBOXES
REMINDERS
-Notes
--iPad Notes
ON MY MAC
RSS
Doing this drag to "iPad Notes" will remove the note(s) from your inbox, but keep it in your REMINDERS and thus be available for Syncing, which currently can only be done with your iPad when plugged in via USB to your Mac.
Apparently, in iOS 4.2, you'll be able to use MobileMe to sync Notes just like Calendar and Contacts. We'll see.
I hope this is helpful. It took me awhile to get all this set up, and being that I am not an AppleCare tech, if you have questions instead of asking me, I recommend you call AppleCare and review with them. Let them know I got the above info from Tier 2 support.
Once iOS 4.2 and Lion come out, all this may, hopefully be a simpler process, but as of this writing, pre 4.2 and Lion, this is now working on my iPad and Mac Pro.
Good Luck.
Steven

Thanks ,,, but when I "Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked"
I CANNOT check the "Notes". It is NOT highlighted. MAYBE because I am NOT logged-in to mail.mac.com?
Is this why my Sync Notes between MacBook Pro and iPAD 2 does NOT work?
How do I fix it?
Also I continue to get Error Message "smtp.mail.com" password not accepted.
I DO NOT know my mail.mac.com password.
