Partial Sync issue iOS Phone to iCloud

I have an iphone 4 and can only get notes and contacts to sync with the cloud. I've deleted the account on the phone, signed back in and powered down. I've chnaged default calendars and mail accounts but still no success. Not only can't I sync with the cloud, notification center is just a blank window. Absolutely nothing appears. I'm at a loss to figure out whay the problem is and any assistance would be appreaciated.
Note...My primary Email and calendar are exchange accounts from work but I still send and receive emails through my ".mac" account.
Thanks

IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
*iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
(3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
(from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
Any insight would be helpful.

Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

Depends on how much needs backing up and your wifi speed. 5-30 mins maybe?

Will there be another softerware update SOON to fix the syncing issue iOS 6.14 caused?

Will Apple offer another update SOON that will FIX the syncing issues?
I have tried EVERYTHING: backups, restarting phone, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, etc. . NOTHING WORKS
I look forward to having my phone sync to my computer so I can save all my information on my external hard drive.
This issue has been occurring ever since I downloaded and updated the iOS 6.14 software.
Everyone is having this same issue, if anyone knows a way to "fix" it please let me know, if not. . . APPLE I need you to begin working on a solution. Thanks!

Sync Contacts from Phone to icloud

I have about 3000 contacts from my old Microsoft Exchange server that are in my phone but I'm unable to get them from my phone to iCloud. Any idea how I can salvage these contacts? I don't want to lose them when I upgrade my phone. Thanks.

To copy the exchange account contacts to iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (Since you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.
Open the Contacts app, tap Groups, then tap the exchange account so it is unchecked and tap Done. Confirm that the contacts are now all in the iCloud account on your phone, as well as on icloud.com.
Assuming they are, you can either leave things this way (with the duplicate exchange account contacts hidden from view), or to eliminate the duplicate contacts on your phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap the exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with the exchange account.

ICal syncing issues with phone

Hello,
I am relooking at my setup of iPhone and Macbook and realised that my iCal doesnt sync via iCloud, so thought I would get this set up.
Currently I sync via iTunes without any issues, iCal on my Macbook shows calendars "On My Mac" with matches the phone.
What I have done is switched on the iCloud option on both iPhone and Macbook for Calenders and then gone into iCal preferences and clicked the iCloud account associated with my apple ID and enabled the account, this then created new calenders called "iCloud" but not of my events are associated with these calenders. So to test I attempted to add an event to one of the iCloud events but as I completed the event and saved it it vanished from the calendar.
So I think basically I am asking what is the best way to get iCal to work with my Mcbook and my iPhone?
Thank you for any assistance offered.
Slighlty confused as I am typing this all my events have been duplicated and appearing as iCloud events, now thinking I just need to delete the "On My Mac" events?

From what your write, it is a little hard to tell, what exactly your problem is, though you may want to try the following, which helped me at time:
step one:
export all of your calendars one by one, including the one with entries giving you problems
step two:
erase all of your calendars and create a dummy character, check if syncing works with that one.
reimport the previously exported calendars one by one, redoing the syncing routines.
In the instances I had problems, I found that exporting and reimporting a calendar file usually did away with the problem
Also, at least on my machines, turning on the birthday link to address book, created some problems, so you might want to try without that feature too.
If you got everything working on one machine, another strategy can be to reinitiate syncing from that one, i.e. erase and reinstall the syncing process on the others. Just make sure you have an up to date back up of your entries.

Partial Syncing Issues

I am having a problem with my iPhone 4s. I can sync my music and my apps, but for some reason, it is not syncing my podcasts and movies anymore (it has worked in the past). I have all the settings for syncing correct. Can anyone help?

Welcome to AD!
No, you can't authorize a dead PC until you hit 5 authorizations and use the "Deauthroize All". The deauth all button will not show up until you have 5.
Your post sounds like you may have forgotten about an old account. Right-click > Get Info on one of those tracks that won't play. On the summary tab, does the +Purchased By+ and +Account Name+ look familiar?

Syncing Issues with iCloud and iPhone

My iPhone 4 had to be replaced. Yesterday I spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple Care while they tried to resolve the issue of why my new phone wasn't syncing with my Address Book and Calendars. The cloud FINALLY gave up the data. Now I find that not all of my ringtones have synced. Does anyone know how to resolve this particular syncing issue? The ringtones are in my iTunes library under "ringtones," they were on my other iPhone 4 and worked just fine, and I've checked the boxes in front of each one on the "Sync Ringtones" window when my new iPhone 4 is plugged in. Four out of ten have synced. The rest refuse to make the trip. Any clue as to what to do? At this point, I'm ready for the iCloud to disappear and give the old system back.

First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

IPad (IOS 8) and iPhone (IOS 8) sync issues

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5 as well as a 4th gen iPad. Ever since I factory reset my iPhone, the two will not properly sync. For example, my iPad will pick up an iMessage and it will never show up on my iPhone (even when I already have a conversation on the phone started).
Also, my camera roll will not completely sync. There are about 10 random pics that will just not sync.
Steps I've taken:
-iMessage activated on both devices
-Camera roll sync activated
The only thing I can think of is that my iPhone has been acting a bit weird (which led to the factory reset).

Hi iAndrew95,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issues you are describing. If you are talking about issues with Continuity and iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8 on these devices, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Is there a way to use icloud to sync different information (i.e. reminders) to my computer, but not have my husbands reminders synced to my phone under the same apple ID?

Just recently updated to iOS 5 and love the icloud and it's updated features. Only problem is that my husband and I share the same Apple account and now our info is getting synced to each others devices. Is there a way to keep the auto syncing enabled, but to say that my stuff doesn't get synced to his phone and vice versa???

Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

How can I get iCloud to sync between iOS 6.1.3, OSX 10.6.8 and OSX 10.8.3?

I am running both OSX 10.6.8 and OSX 10.8.3 on my iMac with iOS 6.1.3 on my iPod Touch.
Everything is checked ON in the iCloud settings where those are available, in iOS, OSX 10.8 and in iCloud.com on my OSX 10.6.8 system.
I either get no synchronisation, or a duplication of events. Apple Store Events which need to be clumsily downloaded from the website, double clicked on and hopefully added to Calendar, only randomly appear and rarely get announced. I can't see a pattern to anything.
It currently won't sync between iCloud.com and Address Book, Calendar etc on the Mac let alone with iDevices (my wife has an iPad as well), despite partially syncing previously.
It is erratic, obscure and totally unreliable as well as being a huge waste of my time.
If I follow the iTunes instructions as well as the iCloud.com instructions generally nothing happens.
In the Advanced pane of iCloud.com settings, I have selected the “In-app notifications” checkbox, and Saved. Doesn't work. Then I unselected and saved and closed iCloud.com. Then checked it all over again, still doesn't work.
According to the settings it says it is sharing with the iPod Touch, but nothing happens.
Previously a few events appeared belatedly at some later time, often after the event they were supposed to announce. Currently nothing is syncing.
Most frustratingly I can't sync my Address Book/Contacts so have to manually include all the contact info in all my individual devices and systems.
Has anybody got a surefire method of making the sync happen?

That's correct but your 10.6.8 machine has no way to put it there unless you manually enter it on the website.
That to sync data from iCal and Address Book in Snow Leopard to the iCloud server you must manually register and connect to the iCloud.com website which I have done.
You can't sync from Address Book or iCal in Snow Leopard.

The syncing to the same data in Mountain Lion is done via the System Preferences > iCloud, which I have done.
Supposedly that means the data on the iCloud server is then shared between the iPod Touch, SL and ML, but it is not.
Because data entered on the SL machine never makes it from iCal or AB to iCloud or from iCloud to AB or iCal, the link breaks there.. You can use a 3rd party app (Soho) and use it instead of AB and iCal.
But the problem exists on ML as well.
I get only some Contacts and iCal events transferring.
What you are seeing is probably from SL account which I use 95% of the time. Particularly my Address Book entries. I hardly entered any of those in ML, they virtually all come from SL and seem to have transferred previously. Possibly before the latest iOS updates, but I can't swear to that as I didn't check before/after.
The vast majority of my Address Book entries appear in both iCloud.com and my iPod Touch, but not my latest changes.
This is far from the "It just happens!" promised by Apple.

What is the deal with the ios 7 and sync issues?

For as long as I can remember having ios 7, and maybe even before that, I've had NOTHING but problems syncing my phone to music. I have been trying tirelessly to add a simple playlist that has a specific set of music that WILL NOT SYNC. On top of this there is music that I cannot delete off my phone. I have too much involved in my phone to do a factory reset, and I think it's silly and ridiculous to have to do this JUST to get my playlist issue/music sync issues dealt with. If apple doesn't start addressing these software issues I will take my money elsewhere and never buy another apple device as long as this crap continues. The new iTunes set up is garbage as well. I miss the old iTunes from several years ago where it was so easy to just place music anywhere/everwhere and on my iPhone.

iTunes runs just fine on Lion.
Since you've reinstalled Snow Leopard we can't help you diagnose your issue.

Mail on iOS 5 and iCloud sync (Mails are not marked as read when I read them on my MacBook)

Hello everyone,
I am an iOS 5 and OS X Lion User in Germany and I have following question concering Mail on iOS 5 and iCloud.
I have a MacBook Pro 13" with OS X Lion 10.7.2 and an iPhone 4 with iOS 5. I also have an iCloud account (I switched yesterday from MobileMe).
When I receive a new e-Mail it will be pushed immediately to my iPhone an my MacBook. When I open this new e-mail on my iPhone, it is immediately marked as read on my MacBook. But when I open the new e-mail on my MacBook, it is not marked as read on my iPhone. I have manually to sync mail first.
Does anyone know if this feature is not supported on iCloud and iOS 5? Thanks for your help!

Add me to the list of people having this problem.
I have 1 Gmail account a 2 Google Apps accounts and this happens with all 3. If I read a messaging in Mail.app, it DOES get marked read on my iPod Touch, though.
If I read the emails on my iPod Touch, BlackBerry, or Gmail web interface, the read status does not get synced back to Mail.app unless I close and re-open it.
Not sure if this is an Apple issue or a Gmail issue, but it's VERY annoying and somewhat defeats the purpose of using IMAP.

TS3999 iCloud + iCal + ML sync issues

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a late-2011 13" MBP and upgraded it to ML. I did not have any prior issues with my iPhone/Mac/iPad/Black MacBook syncing together with iCloud, which is why I'm perplexed after countless Google searches and resets with no answers. My iOS devices are still syncing properly. I can access my updated calendar at iCloud.com. Everything works except for iCal on Mac with iCloud. I now have an exclamation point next to iCloud in the calendar along with a phantom Google calendar that is no longer shared. The error message I get is:
The server responded with an error.
The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've attempted signing in and out with different accounts to test, allocate and/or delete files from the Library > Calendar folder, Preferences folder and SyncServices, and also verified disk permissions. I'm re-downloading ML now to try re-installing it. I'm out of ideas.

Hey there!
I apologize for my terminology because it probably wasn't accurate or that clear.
While using your existing Apple ID or iCloud account, open Calendar, then go to File > New Calendar > iCloud. Give it a different name and color than your existing calendar for troubleshooting purposes(you can always delete the old one and rename it and change the colors later). Once the new calendar is created, try creating a new event under it to make sure that it syncs across all of your devices. In my scenario, doing this revealed that the new calendar synced correctly while the old one continued to show an error icon.
As far as migrating the calendars, I think there are two options. Luckily for me I didn't have too many events so I went into each event and edited them at the bottom where it indicates which calendar you want to associate the event with. The other method that I was going to try, but wasn't sure if a corrupted event/setting would carry over to the new calendar if I did, was to export my old calendar to my desktop, then import it back into my new calendar. Theoretically, this should move all of those previously entered events under your new calendar without having to click into each event like I did. Because I've never tried it, I can't speak to whether or not the original error would return. *However, if your Mac Calendar is empty due to syncing issues, the export method won't be of much help as it only exports what is currently visible in that calendar. But if your calendar currently contains all the events you'd like to keep, but it just can't sync anymore, then exporting and importing might work.
If you decide to try the export/import method, it's pretty straightforward. After you create the new calendar, click on the old one and go to File > Export. Save the file to your desktop, then go to File > Import. Choose the file you just saved and select the destination as the NEW calendar you just created. Again, theoretically, it should work.
Good luck!
