Notes won't sync with other devices

No problems sharing notes, calendar entries, and contacts info until just recently. Now the Notes app on my MacBook Pro will not connect with the iCloud. My other devices, iMac, iPhone, and iPad, all communicate with each other with the cloud, but not the MacBook. When I open Notes in the MacBook it says "updating" forever. Also, when running the Mail Connection Doctor everything connects ok except for iCloud IMAP. The details posted are
INITIATING CONNECTION Mar 09 20:32:55.268 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:p02-imap.mail.me.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x6000002c83b0 -- thread:0x60000146a000
CONNECTED Mar 09 20:32:55.410 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:p02-imap.mail.me.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x6000002c83b0 -- thread:0x60000146a000
Now, Calendar and Contacts communicate to and from the MacBook through iCloud ok, but still not Notes. Driving me nuts. Any ideas?

Notes syncing uses IMAP. Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Notes, choose Delete from Mac (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.
If that doesn't help, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac but not from iCloud. Your data will download back to your Mac when you sign back in.)

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.

TS3988 My ipad don't sync with other devices

My ipad don't sync with other devices. It works in my iPhone, IMac. At iCloud web page is ok also, but not in my IPad. The settings are the same in both my IPhone and my IPad.

Make sure you are using the same Send & Recieve address on the iPAa as you are using on the iPhone (and that it is an address registered with your AppleID).

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.

Ios8 - contact and calendar notes won't sync with Outlook

After the ios8 upgrade, I have found that any note in either a contact or a calendar entry made on my iphone 5 won't sync with my office Outlook account, nor will any changes made to notes in a Contact in Outlook, update on my phone. All worked fine pre-ios 8. Anyone have a solution - have tried deleting accounts, re-booting, etc? Thanks

KB23978 should help you with the "calendar not installed" problem
As for removing the facebook calendar, just go into options > advanced > service books > find "Facebook [CICAL]" and delete it

My iPod touch won't pair with other devices

While trying to pair with another iPod device using Bluetooth the device said " sherry's device not supported" how do I fix this problem so I can b able o pair with other devices.? Help please

An iPod can pair to an iPhone for tethering to the phones internet connection if the phone is subscribed to the optional tethering data plan. An iPod can also pair with another iPod (and iDevice) via app that allow peer-to-peer pairing. That is mainly for gaming. See the following for more information on BT:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Supported Bluetooth profiles

IPhone 6 not syncing with other devices or shared calendar, reminders etc. using same Apple ID on all devices. Any ideas?

I have just bought a new iPhone 6 and updated it from the cloud with no issues (contacts all there as well as calendars that I have set up previously, for example) but have noticed that it will not sync to new content on my iPad or MacBook or vice versa, it is now like a stand alone device. Also, shared calendars set up by somebody else don't appear and I can't share a reminders list. I am signed in using my Apple ID, the same as I am on my other devices (which all still sync with each other as normal) but it is as if the iPhone is not on the same account. I have updated my iPad to IOS 8 with no issues so probably not an iOS problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I trek into town to see a genius?

Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space. What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
Settings >iCloud
Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device. You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Safari
Notes
Passbook
Photo Stream
Documents & Data
Find My iPhone
If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space.
Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized.
To put phone in recovery mode: Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time. Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button. Plug your phone into iTunes. Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

Macbook mail not syncing with other devices after Maverick

After downloading Maverick on my macbook as well as on my imac, the mail on my macbook is not syncing with my other devices. My imac, iphone, and ipad are working and syncing as before downloading Maverick, but the mail in my macbook is not working properly. I have already done all current updates, any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Please disregard this post. I've found the answer to my own question!

ICloud Drive - can no longer back sync. with other devices.

I had to back up and restore my iPad mini last night to get rid of 2.5g of "Other". During the restore it upgraded to IOS 8 (there was no option no to). I was asked if I wanted to upgrade to iCloud Drive. There was nothing there telling me that if I did, I would no longer be able to have all my devices synced. I can no longer sync. with my Mac (Mavericks) or my iPhone 4s. I cannot afford to upgrade my phone, so I am now stuck with no synced photos, notes, calendar or anything else. This is not really good enough. There should be a warning there!

Ok, I tries using the command line mount_webdav command. It didn't seem to work. I got no error messages, but no volumes were mounted.
I tried connecting to another (non-iDisk) web folder at bingodisk.com. This worked fine on my desktop, it doesn't work on the MacBook. This seems to confirm that this is a basic Finder webdav issue, not iDisk specific.
I looked through the system preferences to try to find any appropriate *.plist files to remove/reset. I tried removing
/Library/Prefernences/Network/com.apple.DotMacNotifications.plist
/Library/Prefernences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
but this didn't do anything. Any ideas on what setting file might influence the Finder's webdav functionality?
If I try to do a iDisk sync in the Finder, the console give me the same message as when I tried to directly mount another person's public iDisk

I wonder which file it is trying to access here and failing??

Mountain lion notes won't sync with iPhone notes

I must have a setting messed up but I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and iTunes 11.0 and I want to move the notes I have on my iPhone to my Mac. I am having trouble syncing the two devices. I didn't see anything in iTunes 11.0 to force a sync nor did I see anything in the setting of my phone that would solve this issue.

I have the same problem after updating it 2 days ago, used it for the first time today with my iPhone plugged in for sync.
I don't think that you messed up anything. This is a terrible user interface. Much harder to use than the privious one. Who approved such a bad one?

My photo stream won't sync with my devices to my lap top. iCloud is turned on on everything. Have the latest os

The icloud on my Mac Book Pro won't sync photos from my devices (iPhone and iPad) using photostream. The devices sync to each other just not the lap top. Everything is turned on in settings..iCloud and photostream.

You need to go in to iPhoto on your MacBook Pro and turn on photostream in the Settings/Preferences of iPhoto.

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?

Macbook pro Notes won't sync with ipad 2

I create notes in MacBook Pro Mail Notes program.
I create notes in iPAD 2 Notes program.
I plug iPAD into MacBook ,,, it automatically Syncs.
I go into iTunes ensure, "Other ,,, Sync notes", is checked.
I also ensure, "Advanced ,,, Notes", is checked.
I click Sync, all looks fine ,,, but NO Notes sync "transfer" between computers !!!
I did sync "transfer" an APP, iPages, from MacBook Pro to iPAD 2, ok.
I thought I could sync "transfer" Notes between MacBook Pro and iPAD 2.
Am I trying the impossible?
What am I missing?

I read in your More Like This

"Notes" ,,, is NOT checked ,,, and I CANNOT check it.
Is this why I cannot SYNC my MacBook Pro "Notes" with my ipad 2???
How do I fix it???

Is my router and school's network making imessage fall out of sync with other devices?

Hi,
I'm having issues with iMessage and other iCloud services syncing properly between my iPhone, iPad and Mac, which are running the most up to date versions of their OS's
This issue happens when I'm living in my school's residence. I have my own router (D-Link DIR-601) hooked up to the ethernet jack on my wall and I'm thinking that things like iMessage are having trouble finding my devices because these services are going through the internet and then through two networks that have two different sets of rules (ex: firewall, NAT)?
I think that's the issue, because when I'm at home for summer and holidays iCloud services work perfectly fine on my home network.

Could be. If your school's router is handling the DHCP service, make sure you don't try to enable DHCP on your router too. If that's the case you would want to disable DHCP on your router so it operates as a wireless access point.

Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?
