Pages on my iPad is not syncing with iCloud
Here is the story
I have an iPad 2 - I use Pages on my iPad and macbook and save all my Pages documents in the cloud - I have approximately 1,000 documents. I have plenty of memory available on the iPad. A month ago Pages kept struggling to open on my iPad. So I deleted it from my iPad and reloaded it. Now it works but it is not syncing anymore - all the documents are there but most of them are greyed out.
In the top right hand corner of pages it says 'updating 995 documents'. This has now been going on for over 2 weeks. I have been to my local apple store who have said the only solution they can think of is for me to copy all of the documents from iCloud to my macbook and then empty iCloud and start again. This would be a nightmare! They reckon the iPad is clogged up and not able to update all the documents. I am not convinced of this - this issue has happened before - about a year ago - and Pages had no problem syncing fairly quickly.
Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, I don't know of any quick way to download all of the files from iCloud. What I would do - and I just tried this myself to make sure that it works - is to log into iCloud.com in Safari. Click on Pages and you will have access to all of your files. You can select each file and then download them by clicking on the settings icon (gear icon) in the upper middle portion of the screen. If you hold down on the shift key while you click on the documents, you can select multiple files to download.
You will have to gauge how many documents you want to download at a time. If you have high speed broadband, the process will go much quicker that if you have some dreadful DSL connection.
You can also launch Pages on your Mac and copy the files from the iCloud section and you will get a prompt that says that the documents will be removed from all synced devices. So if you do it this way, you will be downloading the files to the Mac and removing them from iCloud at the same time.

Why after IOS6 Ipad calendar not syncing with Icloud?
After I upgrade Iphone and Ipad to IOS6, my Ipad calendar doesn't sync with ICloud using exactly same Apple ID. Any sugestions?
1. Fire up your Mac and connect the iPad.
2. Open iTunes and confirm that you are NOT syncing via the cable. Change settings as appropriate. When finished, disconnect the iPad and power it down.
3. Open iCal on the Mac and confirm that the events are correct. Add/delete events as appropriate. Quit from iCal.
4. Open System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync
5. Click on "Advanced" and then click on your Mac when it shows up.
6. Click on "Reset Sync Data"
7. At the top, Replace: Calendars
8. Click the right-pointing arrow so that the complete text states: "Replace Calendars on MobileMe with sync info from this computer."
9. Click "Replace"
10. You've confirmed that your Mac and MobileMe are set up properly. Now the iPad. Fire up the iPad and go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
11. REMOVE Calendar syncing from the account that's identified by your email address.
12. Follow the instructions below.

Reminders on iPad will not sync with iCloud
Hi everyone. I have made the transition to iCloud on my Mac, iPhone and iPad 2. Everything seems to be working fine with Mail, Calendar and Contacts. I am not able to get Reminders on the iPad to sync lists in iCloud. Or, if I create a Reminders list on my iPhone, it will not show up on the iPad. The iPhone list does show up in iCal, where it's supposed to. Any idea why the iPad is left out? I have checked all of the iCloud settings, Notifications, etc. and they are all set to share Reminders. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think I've got iCloud all settled down between my iMac, iPad and iPhone, and love it.
But this morning I noticed that a reminder I created on the iPad did not appear after an hour in iCal on my iMac. So I started creating test reminders. A reminder made on iMac would appear instantly on iPad, but a reminder on iPad would not appear on iMac. Settings all fine all around (same iCloud account and reminder calendars). I turned of Reminders in iCloud on the iPad settings, then turned it back on. A couple of minutes later all the iPad reminders appeared on iMac, but who knows if that worked, or it just needed time. So I figured all was well and deleted the test reminders on the iPad, but several minutes later they have not been removed from iMac.
So signed into my iCloud account: the test reminders were gone from there. I left it alone for a while the reminders eventually went away from the iMac. Puzzling, but it works.
If testing, best to check all three places at once: iDevice, iCloud account in Safari, and iMac. -
Ipad bookmarks not syncing with icloud
I cant get my bookmarks from safari to sync with my ipad 1 and iphone 4s. Both OS are up to date.
Welcome to the Apple community.
Bookmark syncing is a little unpredictable at present.
You would be best exporting bookmarks to your desktop on your Mac, turning bookmark syncing on on all your devices and then deleting all your bookmarks from all your devices. Leave things alone for a while and later check that each device still has no bookmarks. Once satisfied that all your devices have no bookmarks, re-import the bookmarks on your Mac and allow them to sync with all your other devices. -
Photostream on ipad does not sync with icloud
I have a iphone 3GS and an iPad 1. The icloud works very well on the iPhone but not on the iPad. If i take a picture with the iPhone, the pic goes to the photostream on the iPone but it isnt available on the photostream of the iPad. Yesterday it worked, today it doesnt work. All necessary settings regarding iCloud are "on". So, what kind of problem do I have? I already turned photostream "off" and "on" and restarted my iPad. But nothing, it doesnt work.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Not sure what you mean, have you tried switching from Photo Stream view to Album viw and back again. -
I am trying to figure out, why pages is not syncing with iCloud. I have Documents checked in the System Preferences of iCloud on my Mac Book Pro, I have Documents checked on my iPhone and I have the Pages app.
Can someone shine some light on this issue?The desktop/Mac OS X versions of the iWork apps have not been updated to take advantage of iCloud yet. In the meantime you can go to iCloud.com, sign in & click the iWork icon where you can upload & download files. You could also try e-mail or Dropbox. Hopefully we will see those updates, maybe even a whole new version of iWork, soon.

My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?
Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
For instance - if you want to sync music....
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right. -
My "notes" on iPad will not sync with iPhone thru iCloud. What gives?
My "notes" on iphone and iPad will not sync thru iCloud. I am sure it is user error...but I can not figure it out.
It reads like this is a problem on the iOS side. On your iPhone or iPad launch the notes app, in the top left corner tap the button until you are on the Accounts page and see if iCloud is an option. If it is select that option and new notes will push to your Mac. If its not close the Notes app and go to Settings > iCloud > Notes > Toggle On. The option will now be in the notes app as described above. Side note: You may be asked to set up an iCloud email if you haven't already. Hope that helps.

My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?
That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad. -
My new ipad will not sync with itunes. the device does not show up in itunes
my new ipad will not sync with itunes. the device does not show up in itunes. I am on a Windows system
Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded? If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized. With iTunes open, click on Store at the top. Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them. Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

ICloud Calendar will not sync with iCloud
I am at a complete loss here. I have my work MBA running Yosemite and connected to my iCloud account. I also have a personal MBP, iPhone and iPad, all running the latest OS and Patch, all connected to my iCloud account.
For 98% of it, it works and syncs perfectly. Except for the calendar on my MBA. Calendar works and syncs perfectly everywhere else, MBA works perfectly with iMessage, FaceTime, Contacts, Keychain, etc, etc, etc.
Basic troubleshooting I have performed:
Rebooted MBA (obviously)
Attempted to remove calendars from syncing with my iCloud account (unsuccessful) - will not remove calendars.
Attempted to remove entire iCloud account from MBA (unsuccessful)
i have signed out everywhere on my MBA, when I go to System Preferences > iCloud and attempt to sign out, it fails.
When I go to Internet Accounts, iCloud keeps coming back as "INACTIVE" with nothing checked.
When I go through all the apps, Calendar is the only one that shows the iCloud data (iMessage shows me as signed out, same with App Store, iTunes, FaceTime, Contacts, etc)
Rebooted MBA multiple times throughout the process, to no avail or difference
Performed a repair install of Yosemite through the recovery console
After repair install, iCloud calendars still show up, even though my iCloud account under System Preferences shows me as signed out
After repair install, signed back into iCloud to see if I could re-sync calendarsiCloud shows me as signed in and Calendars as successfully setup
Upon launching Calendars, i get the spinning wheel in the top left of my calendar app and new calendar items created on the MBA do not sync with iCloud (website or other connected devices)
Created new calendar item on other devices as well as iCloud website, calendar item never shows up on MBA
So, aside from a complete format of the hard drive, can anyone think of any options I haven't tried? Or some way to completely reset one app (such as Calendar)Needed to add some clarification here:
iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing
