Photo stream not updating between iPad and iPhone

This feature used to work fine but now it doesn't, help!

Welcome to the Apple Community Rshoe1212.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

HT204053 calanders do not sync between ipad and iphone

I have my wife's hand me down 1st generation Ipad with 4G and a 4Gs iphone but my calanders do not sync between the phone and the ipad.
My PC has icloud installed and turned on and my ipad and iphone have the cloud turned on.
All three pieces have current software.

If you mean photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud on both devices and sign into iCloud account with the same Apple ID, then turn photo stream to On. After that, new photos added to the camera roll will be uploaded to photo stream when the camera app is closed, it is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining. They will appear on your other device in the my photo stream album.

IBooks not syncing between iPad and iPhone

My iBooks is not syncing between my iPhone and iPad with iCloud

Oh I figured it out, I have to add books both ipad and iphone manually first...

IMessage not syncing between iPad and iPhone.

My mom got an iPad and she is having trouble with iMessage between her iPad and iPhone. On my iPad when I go to messages settings and it shows how I want to iMessage, it shows my cell phone number first then my email address second. So when anybody iMessages me I get it on both my iPhone and iPad. On my moms iPad in the messages settings it's showing she sends and receives iMessages through her email. Her cell phone number associated with her apple id isnt showing up. When she gets an iMessage its only showing up on her iPhone. Not her iPad. How do I fix this? I honestly don't know how I did mine. I think it did it automatically.

If you go on the iPad and look at Messages in Settings, what do you see in Send & Receive? You might try turning off Messages and then wait a minute and turn it back on. If you log in with the same Apple ID, it should automatically populate the phone number. Then check the phone and see if you can see in Settings>Messages that you have Text Message Forwarding.

Why won't Notes sync between iPad and iPhone?

I own an iPad and iPhone and use MobileMe. My contacts, calendar, mail and iDisk all sync properly but I can't get Notes to work.
On my iPhone Notes, I have the option of selecting the following accounts:
From my PC
MobileMe
My 3 different email addresses
I have placed my notes under both "From my PC" and "MobileMe."
My iPad doesn't even give me the option to select the various accounts in the same way the iPhone does.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I couldn't find any other topics that are having problems similar to mine.

I purchased my ipad at a Apple store and the salesman sold me the mobileme convincing me that everything including Notes would sync in the clouds! I still cant understand why we're paying for something that doesn't yet work. This is unacceptable. I just want my NOTES to seamlessly sync between my iphone, ipad and mobileme just like everybody else. Is this too much to ask or expect? Besides, isnt what thousands of paying mobileme subscribers expect.
I want my NOTES to be identical on all platforms and not have to check my mail accounts. As far as my Notes taken with my Ipad, they don't sync anywhere and spent endless hours trying to figure it out only to find out that the sync feature is not yet available for the Notes on my ipad. Thanks Apple! You succeeded to mislead me and taking my money in advance. How long do we have to wait for this to be resolved? We have the right to get a truthful answer and don't appreciate being fooled.

Why aren't notes transfering between iPad and iphone

Using I cloud and have notes checked off to sync but they are not moving from iPad to iPhone 5. Everything else is transfering - contacts, pictures, etc.

Notes located in the "On my mac" or "on my device" (but not in the "icloud") sections will not sync to icloud. Could that be the problem?

Since updating to IOS7 my calendars are not syncing between iPad and iPhone...

Any suggestions or advice? I have entered calendar details and appointments on my iPhone, and they are not on my iPad... When I look elsewhere (through my work I use Exchange and all are synced) many of my appointments seem to be there twice... though still not on my iPad. Thanks!

Shared photo stream not updating on ipad ios 7.1?

I have an iphone 4 and an ipad mini both on ios 7.1
I use them interchangeably to look at or add to shared photo streams. They have both worked great for some time although today the ipad is not showing about 30 photos/videos. An example is out of about 1300 pictures 30 of them were posted yesterday that are NOT visible on my ipad. They are however visible on my iphone. I can add NEW photos to the stream from either device and the other device updates accordingly but for some reason those 30 or so pictures will NOT show up on my ipad. What am I missing?

Photo stream not syncing from Ipad to IPhone.

I recently received a new IPhone as a warranty exchange and now photo stream is not working. I have checked the Icloud settings and they are correct. It's working on my IPad but nothing is coming over to photo stream on my phone. Any help is appreciated.

Yes. I made sure that setting was selected however the photos will still not carry over to my phones photo stream.

HT201317 My iPhoto keeps telling me that it is unable to connect with photo stream and when I click on Photo Stream in iCloud settings, a few minutes later, it is un checked. Please help. Photo Stream works on my iPad and iPhones, just no longer on my mac

Hi. When icloud first came out it worked well on all of my mac devices (macbook pro, ipad, iphones). However now it no longer works on my computer. When I go to system preferences it is unchecked and when I check to enable it, it tells me it can't. I also go to iCloud settings and when I check the photo stream box a few minutes later it is unchecked (which I never do). Please help.

Mmmm, I was hoping there might be a few more clues.
With little confidence you might try the following.
Reset photostream at iCloud.com.
Log out/in of iCloud on your Mac.
Trash your system preferences plist.

Reminders NOT syncing between ipad and iphone

About to pull my hair out. I have tried so many differnent combinations to get this to work (after reading other posts). Original problem was that I could update from iphone and the new remnders would then be on the icloud calendar, but not on the ipad. Finally, after reading other posts, stopped reminders from both devices and cleared the ones on off my iphone only. They went away on the cloud and were never on the ipad.
I then enabled reminders on the ipad. Most merged to the cloud, but it erased one whole list of reminders while keeping the list name. Can now see the remaining ones on the cloud and ipad. Reenabled on the iphone and can now see them there too.
Went to rebuild the ones that "disappeared" from the ipad. All are entered and they ONLY show on the ipad - not on the cloud nor iphone.
The list name of the ones that disappeared is the same name of a calender. From the cloud, I changed the name of that list. A few seconds later, the name changed on both devices.
Communication is happening, but the new items in that now renamed list are still not on the cloud and, subsequently, not on the ipone.
HELP!!

The tasks that I'm attemptign to sync are actually through an Outlook exchange server. Besides that, I sync everything through iCloud.
The only time recently that I've synced with my computer is when I updated to iOS 6, and a few times recently, as I've also lost the ability to wi-fi sync for soem reason.

Continuity not working between iPad and iPhone

I have an iPad Air and iPhone 5 S. Both have been upgraded to iOS 8 and both are on the same wifi network. I do not get any notification of incoming phone calls on my iPad when my iPhone rings. As well there is no option in the wifi settings on my iPad to activate the personal hotspot on my iPhone.

Alright. It's convoluted, but it works.
Settings>iCloud. Sign out on both devices.
sign back in to your apple I'd with your original email address: NOT YOUR @me OR @icloud ADDRESS.
once those are done, go down to settings>FaceTime. Make sure the apple ID signed in is the same Apple ID that you just used. Again, not your @me or @icloud address.
lastly, there should be a toggle in FaceTime settings for both that says "iphone cellular calls". Switch it on. If it's not there, reboot your devices and try again!

Handoff not working between iPad and iPhone

i have installed ios 8 on both my iPhone 5 & iPad 4th generation. They are both on the same wifi network & both have Bluetooth switched on. In settings I have made sure hand off is switched on.
I can make a regular call on my iPad but that's where the continuity seems to end. I don't see a button to open Safari on the lockscreen when it is in use on another device, I cant pass a half written email from one device to another, or see Pages documents etc. I'm at a loss.

I know it can be frustrating sometimes when things aren't working well but I must say I think you are being a bit unfair. At the end of the day Apple are a business not a charity. I'm sure they love being able to survive being the company for rich people.
"I have to BUY A NEW COMPUTER TWO YEARS LATER to use your shiny new "killer" app??"
The two year old computer you have works fine, you don't have to update anything. You survived without the "Killer app" prior to it's release.
Also they have released a brand new operating system that they will give you FREE OF CHARGE that is backwards compatible to the iPhone 4s. Thant's a pretty good effort considering they could quite easily not bother.
Complaining that a phone company is just "another money hungry capitalist maw" and that "EVERYTHING THEY DO is designed to make you keep spending more and more money" seems a bit naïve. It's like complaining that politicians are only interested in getting votes. It's what they do.
I'm not trying to start an online fight. It just seems like a waste of energy getting angry about a tech company. Why not switch to another make of phone. Life's too short to be getting angry about stuff like this.

(Sorry for my english ;))
Ty,

I was just looking at this again and noticed something strange.
Under the iCloud section of the Settings on my iPad, I don't have a "Documents and Data" option. Essentially, every time I use a program that wants to access iCloud for documents, that program's individual settings are reset to not use iCloud.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again for any help.

Not syncing between ipad and iphone

I have an iPhone with iOS 7 and an iPad with iOS 7. Since the upgrade, the contacts I add on my phone are not populating over to my iPad. I have check to be sure both are set for uploading to iCloud. I have made sure both are set to pull contacts from iCloud. I have cleared the iPad contacts and then repopulated. Nothing works. Any suggestions?

On your phone go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contact section). If you have this setting, make be sure you have selected iCloud as your default account and not something else like On My iPhone, Google, Yahoo, an Exchange account, etc. If iCloud is not selected, make this change then add a new test contact and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com and your other devices now.
If you don't have the Default Account setting, or if it is set to iCloud but new contacts added to your phone still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing contacts from your phone to your contacts on icloud.com. Once the contacts on icloud.com are up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a few seconds turn Calendars back on. Then add a new test contact on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com and your other devices now.
