My macbook won't sync with icloud

My iMac syncs with icloud, but my Macbook will not.  The iMac is Lion 10.7.3, but  the Macbook is Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Thats correct, 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, your 10.6.8 MacBook needs updating (assuming it will)

  • My iphone calendar won't sync with icloud

    I just set up iCloud for the first time.  Everything seems to be working however the calendar on my iPhone 3GS (w IOS 5.0.1 update) calendar is not syncing with iCloud.  What am i doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you say it won't sync with iCloud, do you mean with iCloud.com or iCloud on a mac.

  • I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud

    I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud.  Also, all of my notes on iCloud aren't on my phone anymore, but they are still on my computer. Can somebody please advise how to fix this issue?  Thank you!

    Sounds like they are being overwritten by the server as soon as you reconnect.  With some effort you may be able to prevent this and recover your notes if you try the steps in Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

  • 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.

  • Computer won't sync with icloud

    After installing Lion and enabling icloud on my macbook pro...it won't sync to icloud.  I've logged in on the internet to see my icloud account and no new entries put in my calendar from my laptop are there.  New enteries from my iphone 4s are in icloud (on line) - but are not synced to the computer or vice versa?  What's up?

    There's no need to do anything on the phone which is plainly working.
    While in theory I agree with you 99%, I've noticed iCloud seems so glitchy at times, (new technology?) that I've seen enough strange things so I try to make sure I don't burn off an extra 4 hours of trouble-shooting because of one little step such as this.

  • Won't sync with icloud

    When I create a document in Pages on my MacBook Pro it won't sync to iCloud. It just shows an outline of a cloud with the word 'waiting'. I can sync documents between www.icloud.com and my iPad. Any ideas?

  • IPhone Contacts won't sync with iCloud

    Hi!
    I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone 4S synced with iCloud, so everything I do in one device shows up in the other.
    About 2 days ago I noticed my iPhone contacts were not syncing with iCloud. Calendars, Notes, etc. is syncing and the Macbook Pro is syncing as well. Only iPhone contacts are not (both ways).
    Any ideas are welcome!! Thank you!!!

  • ICal and reminders on Macbook don't sync with iCloud

    Just now when iCal crashed on my MacBook Pro I realise that it hasn't been syncing with iCloud (lost al lot of appointments).
    Any change made on my iPad, iPhone and on icloud.com syncs perfectly; even back to my macbook!
    The rest on my laptop (notes, iWork apps, mail, contacts) all seem to work and sync perfectly with iCloud.
    However iCal and Reminders made on my laptop just don't sync to iCloud!
    The other way around works nicely (reminders and calendar appointments from iPad, iPhone and iCloud.com appear promptly on the macbook).
    I have tried everything i could find (restarting computer, resetting icloud prefferences, log out and in from icloud, starting new calendar, checking icloud account). Nothing works...
    Any change made from my macbook just doesnt make it to other devices. From other devices back to my mac do work.
    On my macbook all calendars I have are in iCloud.
    iCloud is active (with same login as for other devices)
    Would be great if someone could help me with this one!
    Thanks!

    I have something similar and i will try to explain with my rusty english.
    I have an ID on iCloud but i can't sync the iCal events.
    On my mac there is everythign (appointment, notes birthdays and so on). On my iCloud there is nothing.
    I suppose was something related with the old ID  (one just for ichat, not one of the ID that you pay to receive extra services or a @me.com account).
    Now, as soon as the icloud features was installed on my Macbook Air I signed a new ID and initially everything worked fine. Emails on Mail and  contacts were syncronized properly but with the new ID. i did not check iCal account.
    So i tried also with the old one (the ichat ID) and all was sync. So i realized that maybe Apple recognized same account or name and merge all the ID in just one.
    I was wrong.
    The 2 ID's are not linked.
    further checks add also this new weird stuff. in any case i cant sync ical accounts. i tried to switch from one to another ID. no way. i checked preferences in iCal on the mac. everything is fine. no way.
    do uu have any idea?

  • Mail won't sync with icloud.

    I have an iphone 4 32gb, Win 7 x64, itunes 11.02.26, ios 6.1.2, and Outlook 2010.  Recently had to do a complete Windows reinstall from scratch, but everything was backed up and is up and running normally again.
    The iTunes info tab for my iphone says that my contacts, calenders, tasks are being synced with my iphone over the air with icloud.  The mail is not.  Previously it was.  The icloud control panel only says the 'contacts, calenders and tasks with outlook' being synced, but mail is not listed. Clicking on the message only unchecks the tickbox.
    MS Outlook has my @me.com account installed and working and 3 other email accounts, and the icloud refresh button on the toolbar is working ok.  The same mail accounts are installed on the iphone and work ok.  My phone and Outlook can each access all my mail accounts seperately without a problem.  At present I have left the mail tickbox unchecked on the itunes info page for my iphone.  (I dont want to mess up the information on either unless I have to).  There are no checkboxes for the contacts, calenders or tasks as they are using icloud.  Under 'settings/general/icloud' on my iphone, Mail and calenders are both selected to ON.
    When I try to log into icloud.com, I get a message that 'icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server', but the system status check shows no problem.
    How do I get my mail to sync between outlook and icloud the same as calenders, contacts, tasks and bookmarks?

    Yes, my Calendar syncs with Google as well as on the iPad and iMac. Why shouldn't it also sync with iCloud?
    Because it's a Google Service not an iCloud service, you can still sync it to your Mac and your devices, just not using iCloud.

  • Calendar and Mail won't sync  with iCloud.

    They synchronize fine between iMac and iPad. Contacts, Notes and Reminders are the only categories that do sync with iCloud on my iMac.  I am running the latest Mountain Lion upgrade.

  • Pages 5 won't sync with iCloud

    My iphone and ipad and icloud.com iWork documents all sync with each other but the new Pages for Mac with Mavericks doesn't see them. It seems to have its own documents unrelated to what's on icloud. I have Documents and Data turned on in System Prefs and I am logged in to all devices with the same Apple ID. How can I get the new iWorks apps to sync with icloud?

    I wish Apple would fix this. I'm dying here--I essentially have no iWork apps anywhere, since whatever I create with any app is only readable by that app on that device. iCloud synching is just broken.

  • HT4191 What do you do if Notes won't sync with iCloud?

    I've set Notes up on my iMac, iphone 5 and iPad (3).   I recall that they used to all sync with icloud just fine....but now, when I add to my Notes on my iphone, it no longer pushs to either my iMac or my iPad.
    I've set everything up according to the directions from Apple...but still they will not push.
    Any suggestions?

  • My PC won't sync with icloud

    I can sync my calendar between my I phone and icloud.com, but if I enter a appointment in my calendar on my iphone or on icloud the appointment will not show up in my Outlook calendar on my PC. Conversely, if I enter an appointment in my outlook calendar on my PC, the appointment will not show up on icloud or in my calendar on my iphone.

  • My photos won't sync with iCloud beta

    I have 306 photos on my iPhone 6+. After turning on iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on my iPad Air, I now have 306 photos on it. (So far, so good.) But I can't get the photos to sync with beta.icloud.com. I tried deleting some photos at beta.icloud.com and they were deleted on my iPhone and iPad. But it won't work the other way around. I have 402 photos on beta.icloud.com, and the 6 new photos I took this afternoon with my iPhone won't upload there, although they should up on my iPad. I tried restarting my Macbook Pro and iPhone and still no go. Any solutions? Thanks. (I'm using 8.1 on both devices and Yosemite on my MacBook Pro.)

  • Contacts on Macbook are not synced with iCloud

    MacBook Yosemite, Iphone 5S 8.1
    I have 2708 contacts on my Macbook. They are shown under iCloud/all contacts
    My macbook is connected to my ICloud account and the preferences/icloud/contact sync is ticked
    In the same iCloud account (if I go online via Safari into my account) I see only 36 of these contacts, which I also find on my Iphone, which is connected to the same ICloud Account and the contact Sync is ticked...that means Iphone and Macbook are correctly connected to the same ICloud Account but not syncing properly.
    Strange ist that if I open contacts/preferences/accounts on my macbook, I see 1 active ICloud account and 3 inactive ICloud accounts all with the same apple ID. I'm not able to delete the 3 inactive accounts with "-". I end up always in the normal looking ICloud preferences.
    I tried unticking contacts....also signing off from the iCloud Account...signing in again. No help!
    How can I get my 2708 contacts from my Macbook to my internet ICloud account and then synced automatically to my iphone?
    Thanks

    Thanks. No, I have 10.7 nowadays, have had it for a while. I discovered in Contact preferences that Icould was not activated. Now it is and the contacts are syncing again, although they appear twice, if I have both "on my Mac" and ""ICloud" activated. Any way to avoid this?
