Since iCloud sync, I have unwanted folders in Safari on iPhone

I now have a Bookmarks Bar and a Bookmarks Menu on my iPhone since upgrading to iOS 5 and playing around with iCloud. How do I get rid of them? Nothing is in them and I want them gone. My wife's phone does not have these. Only Reading List and History and her normal bookmarks. Help? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
Now to your questing:
So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

ICloud sync problem with calendar Events on MBP and iPhone since last update. Some of my calendars appear to have either been deleted or merged.

I've noticed quite a few events have disappeared since the last update. Also my calendars appear to have either been deleted or merged. I've lost some very important events. Has anyone else had these problems?

After 2.0, every time I sync I have to wait for "backing up iPhone"

I installed 2.0 the other day. Since then I have downloaded some new apps and hooked it up to sync it to install the new apps. Instead of just updating the phone, I first get a bar at the top of iTunes indicating that it is backing up the iPhone, which takes 30-45 minutes.
Is this a new "feature?"

Before it just had to sync content and back up a few settings. But now it wants to back up all your apps that you installed and with each app, they all have their own settings or databases. So the more apps you put on, the longer it is going to take. Also note, it will only backup if you accessed an app. So lets say you sync. Then never touch any of your apps and sync again. It won't back them up. But if you open lets say Shazam, it will then have to back it up and all it's data (which can include ablumb art, photos you added to that app, etc).

TS4009 iCloud says I have 19GB storage left, but my iPhone cannot download anything from iTunes. Any help?

I have plenty of storage space on iCloud, but whenever I try to download songs from iTunes a popup says my storage space is full. Any help please?

The storage space you have on your phone and the storage space you have available in your iCloud account are not the same thing. You need to remove some items from your phone, if you are to free up space to download items from iTunes.

ICloud sync problems with 10.9.3

Over the last 2 months I've noticed that from time to time my Notes & Calender stop syncing to iCloud from my MacBookPro. For example, the Notes window has "Updating ..." tacked onto the window title bar. When this happens, it's often the case that the iCloud pane in System Preferences won't open.
Other discussions suggest checking accounts etc but this clearly isn't the problem since iCloud syncing starts working again after a restart.
Any ideas? Should I try a system re-install?

I think I have solved the problem myself (but thanks again Csound1 for your suggestion as it made me try other remedies.)
There are two almost identical MacBook Pros in our home (mine and my wife's) and I keep them synced at intervals. I think the problem may have been to do with the fact that my account on each computer uses iCloud for Notes, Calendar and Mail accounts, and in some way the two Macs had become too identical so that iCloud was not distinguishing between them, leading to what I think system programmers call a 'deadly embrace' (each Mac waiting for the other to finish some task, like two ultra polite people trying to let each other go through a door first). Since carrying out the steps below on 20th June, iCloud sync has been working perfectly, Mail has stopped crashing, and the iCloud pane in System preferences always opens when I select it. In fact I have not had to use Force Quit at all since that date, and I have not restarted my computer (just let it sleep when not in use).
What I did was:
Step 1: made backups or archives of all mailboxes, notes, calendars and contacts from my Mac (anything that had anything to do with iCloud).
Step 2: on my Mac from System Preferences, selected the iCloud control pane, turned off iCloud syncing for all options individually, accepting any advisories that data copies would be deleted from my Mac.
Step 3: still in the iCloud pane of System Preferences, logged my Mac out of iCloud.
Step 4: repeated steps 2 and 3 for my duplicate account on my wife's Mac.
Step 5: restarted both Macs.
Step 6: on each Mac, logged back into iCloud and re-enabled iCloud syncing where wanted. [In the case of contacts, I deleted all contacts on the Mac completely first as otherwise you end up with duplicated entries as the data from iCloud is merged with the data on the Mac itself.] All the iCloud data was then correctly downloaded onto each Mac, and I did not need the backups I had made (but of course one should always make backups before carrying out any major re-organisation).
I have also checked my cross-Mac syncing procedures, and now I only sync folders that I know hold user content. This means anything that's not in ~/Library (the user's library), but it can also include some folders in the library such as mailboxes. Of course there's no point re-syncing anything set up to sync via iCloud (such as notes, calendars and contacts), but even if you select Mail in iCloud preferences actual mail messages aren't included, hence the need to sync ~/Library/Mail if you keep mail on your computer (as I do) rather than relying in an IMAP mail server.
That was it, and as I said, it seems to be holding good.
Hope these notes will be helpful to someone else.

ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
Any clues?

HT4915 iTunes Match vs iCloud Sync

When iTunes Match is activated, can I choose to keep the music files on any of the devices associated with my account (the way iCloud sync works)?
Ocassionally I'm way-off grid and still want to be able to access my music. I'm hesitant to commit to an all-streamins solution. I want the music files on my iMac and iPhone updated with ICloud sync and have my tablets use iCloud Match to conserve disc space. Is this possible?

When you activate iTunes Match from your computer your computer's library gets matched or uploaded to the iTunes Match server. If you activate iTunes Match on your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad you will see all of your matched an uploaded music appear in the music app on that device. Songs that are downloaded locally on the device will appear without a cloud symbol meaning they are physically located on the device, can be played and not use data, and if you go off the grid, they will still show up and be playable. Songs that are in iTunes Match but not on your device will have a cloud icon. You can play these songs at any time but they are being played from the server, so if you connection is bad or you go offline, you may not see them or they may not load well. In the end, the answer to you question is yes. If you activate iTunes Match, you can choose which songs or playlists are downloaded locally to a device and which ones aren't.

After iCloud upgrade i have duplicate iCal entries (iPhone is ok). Why?

After I upgraded to iCloud I now have duplicate iCal entries! My iPhone does not have duplicates which is good. In iTunes I AM NOT syncing my iCal.
Thanks

MyFord, Mirek,
I have the same problem on iMac: some iCal entries duplicated, some triplicated, and some quadruplicated...
If I change the colour of the On My Mac Calendars, right click on calendar, select Get Info, I can identify those entries, all single.
Do the same on the iCloud Calendars, and the second and third entries on the day (Month View) change colour.
So, the iCloud entries on the iMac are duplicated...
iCal on my iPhone is OK, only a single entry...
Where do I go from here...
I suspect the first thing I should do is back up On My Mac Calendars.
What next?
Robert
Backup the On My Mac calendars (in iCal, File>Export>iCal Archive) and then delete them from iCal

HT4859 Last time I synced my IPad with my PC it migrated all my "Favorites" (about 100 folders) to the ICloud. I have searched and so far been unable to find out how to recover my "Favorites" list from the ICloud back to my PC. Any advice? Many thanks.

Hi, Last time I synced my IPad with my PC, it (unknown to me) migrated all my PC "Favorites" (about 100 folders) to the ICloud.

be appreciated. Thank you.

What did you do to get them synced to the Cloud. Would that procedure help me get my favorites synced to my iPad2?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you logged into your iCloud yet on your phone, in settings > iCloud.

I seem to have a double iCloud sync going as I have two of everything in my Notes. When I try to delete one copy, they both disappear. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks

Hi Winston
Further to the above I have now discovered that I have two iCloud accounts in my notes so there are two icloud folders !!
If I delete one, then all the notes are deleted from the other one. If I move all the notes from one into the other then the empty one is populated with two of everything !!
Dont want to uncheck Notes in iCloud as there is a drop down box that advises that all notes will be removed from my Mac if I take that action
Not sure what to do now !!

I do not have an icloud icon just mobileme icon. I don't know how to increase or buy more space since I do not have the icon. Advice please. Thank you.

I am getting messages about my iCloud usage but I do not have an iCloud icon in my Preferences. I only have Mobilme. I need advice. Thank you.

I assume you were are an ex-MobileMe subscriber who has had the complimentary extra storage which is due to expire very shortly. Unfortunately you cannot purchase your storage without being able to access the iCloud preference pane, and to do that you would have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion.
If you have more than 5GB of data present when Apple pulls the plug, then Apple say:
If the storage you're using in iCloud exceeds the total storage available, iCloud Backup, Documents in the Cloud, and iCloud Mail will temporarily stop working. To resume using these features, you can either reduce the amount of iCloud storage that you're using, or purchase a storage plan with a larger amount of storage than you're currently using.
You have two choices. One is to go to http://icloud.com and clear out as much as you can. Certainly all contacts and calendars, and as much mail as you can manage. Since you have not been able to sync with iCloud you cannot have accumulated all that much data.
The other is to find a way of purchasing extra storage (you can do this even after the expiration and if you don't leave it too long you may be able to retain all your data) either by finding someone with a compliant Mac or an iOS5/6 device who can let you do this, or by upgrading your Mac - it it meets the requierments.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from icloud and all the synced devices. I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync

After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?

An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
The relevant section is:
How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.
