Position syncing with iCloud and non-store ePubs

Since the iCloud beta became available, iBooks now remembers which page you're on accross all your IOS devices - so I can start reading a book on my iPad, then switch over to my iPhone later on and it will pick up where I left off. This seems to work fine - but only for books that have bought through the Apple iBookstore. I have a couple of ePubs that I have imported into iTunes that work just fine, but the position syncing just doesn't seem to happen. Is this by design? Is there a way around it?

All of the side loaded epub files that I have transfered into iBooks have the last page read/bookmarks/highlights/notes transfered between all my iDevices. I truly hope that this doesnt go away with the launch of iCloud...

Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

Help. I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password. Now asking for a password and I never set one up. What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either). Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password! Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
Thanks.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

Contacts and Calendar with iCloud and non-iCloud devices

I have a mix of non-iCloud and iCloud devices and macs, both at work and at home. Calendar has continued to sync correctly between all devices, however contacts is definitely not syncing between iCloud and non-iCloud devices. Bookmarks are also not coming across from iCloud devices to non-iCloud macs. Mail is working fine. I'm surprised that there is such variation in core apps. I would have expected iCal and Address Book to both work (or not work), but this seems not to be the case.
Keen to know if this is the norm for other uses of mixed environments?

I have a Macbook. Mac OS X 10.5.8. And an iPhone 4, as well as an iPad 2 - both on iOS 5.
There is a really really annoying and silly issue with syncing contacts and calendars across my Mac using iTunes (cable) and the iCloud options when my Mac does not support iCloud.
When I create / amend a contact or an event on my iOS device, if I choose (or more likely than not, the default option) "iCloud" for my contacts / calendar, the creation or amendment does NOT appear in my MAC even when syncing over cable with iTunes.
I have to choose ONE to edit - either the iCloud version OR the "from my Mac" version.
This is extremely annoying and silly - so much for Apple's seamless integration of products.
Of course, the easiest way out (and I am assuming Apple's preferred option) is to
(1) get a new Macbook Pro / Air that has OS X Lion which has iCloud inbuilt. - but that is just wasteful as my Macbook is still running flawlessly. (until now)
Or to do the unthinkable and tinker with electronics when you are totally clueless (like I am) and to
(2) upgrade to Snow Leopard and then to Lion - yeah right... have you friggin read those reviews?!?!
Is Apple intending to solve these issues for the non iCloud / iCloud group of users and make the Apple experience better again?
Or just because the company is doing great financially, and selling more products more than ever, and yet still have huge huge markets to conquer, gonna just ignore the above issues and just wait for our patience to wear thin, and do (1) - buy yet another new product.
OR we could switch to android and samsung and PCs and what have yous... please do not make us make this choice!!!

IPad syncing with iCloud and Exchange = problems ?

Greetings,
I am using Apple products since 2 years ago. Everything started with an iPod Touch 64 and things grew to an iPhone4, iPad and now, an iPad 2.
I also have a Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb 3.2 based), a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.3.3.
All devices are configured to sync mails, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with an Exchange Server. Until iOS5 and iCloud, there were no problems whatsoever. Contacts created on any device used to replicate to the others without a problem, although the iDevices (iOS based) never understood “categories”, a resource commonly used in an outlook environment to help sorting things out.
Last week, Ibought the iPad2. Updated it and configured it to use the same Exchange Server as the other devices. Also, I chose to use iCloud.
After that, I noticed that on a daily basis, contacts would appear without categories, first day, a few, around 5. Second day, 10 more. Third day, more 20. After the second day, I also noticed that the “display as” field (also known as “FiledAs”) was starting to show names with Last, First order. Here in Brazil we sort names as First Last. Of course, outlook, all android devices and also the iPad were all configured correctly (First, Last).
The problem was getting bigger every day. Yesterday, 900+ of my almost 2000 contact list were mixed up, missing their categories and also had their first and last names changed in the Filed As field.
After deleting, editing, restoring backups etc. more than once, I have finally found that the iCloud is probably the culprit.
Changed my iPad config to keep from syncing with iCloud and configured it to backup locally.
Deleted all accounts in all devices, deleted all data from contacts. Configured the accounts and left the devices syncing. Restored a backup. All devices synced and received the contacts.
Surprise: problem solved. So far, no missing categories, no inverted First, Last names. Maybe if anyone find himself in the same situation, it might help.

I have the same problem. My MacPro isn't on Lion, as I have lots of software that isn't compatible yet. But I have 10.7.2. on my MacBookPro and iOS5 on my iPhone and iPad.
I would like to go to iCloud for those devices that are capable to run it, but I do not want to loose sync services for my MacPro which is on 10.6.8. Will iCloud and MobileMe be in sync until 30.06.2012, so I can use them in parallel, or do I have to wait until all computers are updated to Lion?

TS3991 my iphone calendar is not syncing with icloud and my pc

My Iphone 4 Calendar is not syncing with icloud and my PC - help

If calendar events on your iPhone do not appear in your calendar on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or and exchange account.

I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

HT4436 sync with icloud and pc

i sync my phone to my pc now i have ipad to and want to sync with pc , phone and ipad
can i sync with icloud and still sync to my pc when connected

You shouldn't try to sync data such as contacts and calendars with both iCloud and iTunes if that's what you're asking. If you do, it will create duplicates in contacts and calendars. You should sync with either iCloud or iTunes, but not both. You can (and should) continue to sync your devices with iTunes to manage iTunes media (apps, music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc.).

I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all work except for email. When I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all applications work except for email. Incoming messages appear on all devices but when I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

Thank you for your interest. I use apple mail to access my two accounts -I guess they are 3rd party accounts. One is a gmail acount and the other is a bigpond account. I admit to a lack of a high level of literacy when it comes to the language around all of this. For example, I am aware that I have an iCloud email account as I managed to set it up, but don't really understand the purpose of it as the last thing I need is yet another email account to oversee.

Looking for a good document on family syncing with iCloud and multiple iOS devices

We have recently migrated off of Android devices for the whole family except for a Kindle Fire HD for my daughter. We all have an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch type device that we want to sync our family calendars/reminders/notes to. Is there a good document on how to setup this family environment so that our notes/reminders/appointments are all in sync on each other's device. That way we all know what each other is doing. Do we each have to have a separate Apple ID or do we all share the same Apple ID to make this syncing work. I think I get how to make this work between my PC, 2 - iPhones (work and personal) and iCloud Web. Now how do I layer on my other family members into my calendar digital Cloud? HELP ME PLEASE. I HAVE A DIGITAL MESS.
Right now I have a personal Apple ID for my personal devices, new iPhone 6 Plus coming. I have a separate Apple ID for my Work iPhone 4s. My wife and kids have iPhone 5s. Wife and son have an iPad.
Please tell me I don't have to go see Rush Limbaugh to figure out how to make all this work.
Thanks,
Bob

You could each have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, and also share a "family" account for syncing a family calendar, notes and reminders. That will allow you to maintain still keep your contacts, and other data and photo streams separated while having access to the shared the family data in the secondary account. It also gives everyone their own free 5GB of storage for their backups, etc. The shared family calendar, notes and reminders will appear alongside your other calendars, notes and reminders in the corresponding apps on your devices. You'll just need to be sure to select the correct account within these apps when entering data to ensure it is added to either your personal or the shared family account.
To do this, create your primary accounts in the usual way, by going to Settings>iCloud and signing in with separate IDs and turn on the data sets you want to sync with iCloud. Then create a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different ID and have everyone add this account to their devices as a shared family account. You can sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with the secondary account, although you may want to just turn on calendars, notes and reminders.
You can continue to share the same iTunes store ID on all devices if you wish. It does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud. Also, each person should use their own ID (such as the primary iCloud ID) for iMessage and FaceTime, otherwise you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
If you don't want to do all of this, and are primarily concerned about sharing your calendars, you can do that as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a8694.
Another option to consider is to look into the new Family Sharing feature of iOS 8 if all of your devices will support iOS 8: https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/. The details on this haven't been released yet but should start to appear after it is released tomorrow.

Calender syncing with Icloud and Maverick?

When upgrading to maverick my Calender has to sync with Icloud. The Calender has to shift to the serveraccount. But in the installment procedure it won't go past this. It is stuck in the shift. What to do??

Do a search of these forums for Calendar Connect to server never finishes. Or similar topic headers.
Also look to the right at the More Like This area. This has been covered and a work around posted in one of the threads dealing with this issue.

TS3988 Trouble with Syncing with iCloud and my Mac (and iPhone)

I have moved my @me.com account to iCloud. Now it doesn't sync with any my devices. I can access iCloud itself and have full view of calendars, etc. They are incorrect as they are not synced with my Mac and doesn't update my iPhone. I have tried to check my account subscription but cannot find it on iCloud.
Can anyone help?
Warm regards
Jeff

Welcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

IPad - sync with iCloud and iTunes

Hi, i have an iPad which is sync'ed with iCloud. Now what I'm trying to do is to copy some music, ebooks, videos for my iPad using iTunes one. But the problem is that when I try to start sync, it says that iPad is already sync'ed with other library and it's asking me to erase it's content and replace with iTunes. I don't want to erase it, i just want to copy some additional content to it... Is it possible somehow to do this without erasing it?

Not really. It is backed up to iCloud.
iDevices sync with an iTunes library on your computer.
Did you sync this iPad with iTunes on a different computer at one time?

Can't sync with iCloud and iphoto

i have an iphone 4, fully updated with ios5 at its newest update whatever that is.
i just backed up my whole iphone to the cloud and then reset the whole phone and restored it from the cloud. so now everythign on my phone is from the cloud. i even bought itunes match.
my one problem is, now i can't sync iphoto with my phone. i usually like to have my iphone have my last 20 events from iphoto, but now that my whole phone is on the cloud, when i connect it to my computer, it starts to sync from itunes instead of icloud, and then changes everything.
i connected my phone to the computer and itunes popped up and it started syncing everything from itunes and replacing everything. so i had to stop it, and restore my whole phone again
it's so complicated. i just want to have my phone sync with the cloud, but i also want iphoto to sync with my phone, but it seems i can only do that through itunes, which i can't sync with itunes if i'm syncing with the icloud

Brad...
now i can't sync iphoto with my phone
You can sync from iPhoto.
Tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Photo Stream is switched on.
when i connect it to my computer, it starts to sync from itunes instead of icloud, and then changes everything.
Once you have iCloud setup, there's no need to connect your iPhone to a computer and sync media using iTunes. Everything is synced via a W-Fi network.

HT5500 I had to restore my phone back to factory settings because it was messing up. When I restarted it I chose to start it as a new phone, and now I can't get my of my contacts back. I've tried syncing with ICloud and no luck HELP

I restored my phone to factory settings. I chose to restart it as a new phone to avoid the problem I was having. Now I ant get any of my contacts back. I cloud only has the contacts that weren't associated with Facebook (I had synced my contacts with Facebook prior to restarting my phone. Now when I synced with Facebook it doesn't have any of the phone numbers for the contacts. HELP ME GET MY NUMBERS BACK PLEASE

Are the contacts on your phone to be the same as the contacts in your computer? if yes do following:
In iTunes/Preferences/Devices check the "Prevent iPods.... from syncing automatically".
Connect your iPhone to iTunes by cable or set sync by WiFi on the Summary page.
Then on the Info Page scroll down and check "contacts" under the "Advanced" heading.
Then click "sync" in the right bottom of the page.

Syncing with iCloud AND MobileMe

I have 3 Macs, all of them sync to the same MobileMe account. Only one is running Lion (for now). If I move to iCloud on one of my mac, will that mean I will no lover be able to sync to the 2 macs running MobileMe?

I have the same problem. My MacPro isn't on Lion, as I have lots of software that isn't compatible yet. But I have 10.7.2. on my MacBookPro and iOS5 on my iPhone and iPad.
I would like to go to iCloud for those devices that are capable to run it, but I do not want to loose sync services for my MacPro which is on 10.6.8. Will iCloud and MobileMe be in sync until 30.06.2012, so I can use them in parallel, or do I have to wait until all computers are updated to Lion?
