Synch issue with icloud

Hello,
I have upgraded to iOS5 last week (iphone4).
I have activated iCloud and chose to synch everything except mails and notes.
When I go to iCloud.com from my computer, I have :
- only 4 contacts in "contacts" while I have 300+ in my iphone
- nothing in calendar, while I have a lot in my iphone
- no "photostream" link, so I don't know how to see my pictures in iCloud.com
I have connected my iPhone to personnal wi-fi and to power during many days.
How can I solve this synch issue ?
Thx
Adrien

If you mean that a new reminder entered on one device doesn't show up on other devices then check that
1)  The other devices are logged into the same icloud account and have reminders turned on (settings>icloud), and
2)  that the remider is in the "icloud" group, and not in the "on my ipod" or whatever group.

  • Issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices.  iTouch and iPad2 sync with different results from iMac.  Thoughts?

    Has any one experienced issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices? The primary machine is an iMac running Lion. Address Book was created from vcf file (backup of address book prior to moving to iCloud). iTouch replicates Contacts just fine and matches the Address Book on the iMac. The iPad 2 does not showing only 123 contacts where there should be 200. I have turned off iCloud on both devices thus erasing the iCloud content of both devices and staring from scratch with both devices with identical results. Even turned off iCloud on the iMac and erased the Address Book and rebuilt with the same results. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am going nuts.....

    To follow-up with this issue:
    I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
    I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
    I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
    Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

  • Issue with iCloud.. email address and responding

    Hi Everyone,
    Not sure why this is happening but I have encountered some recent issues with iCloud. A little history I restored my iphone 4s and have reinstalled and reset all my accounts, apps, and services. All was working well until this last week.
    1) Before (restoring my phone), I was able to reply to any email (icloud or other) on my phone AND select which ever 'from account' I had available, INCLUDING the icloud alaises. Now when I reply through the phone I do not get access to those alaises for some reason.
    2) Through the browser (Safari or Chrome), I can not reply to emails in iCloud. It crashes. I can however forward, but once I hit reply it generates an error.
    iCloud has also somehow merged my emails addresses into mail but again disregarding the alaises created. I don't sync my MacBook Mail with iCloud Mail documents (Thank God), but I do sync Calendars, and Contacts. (Btw it would be nice to select which Contact groups to sync with as on iTunes)
    Not sure what is going on but it has become quite annoying especially when it was working just fine about 2-3 weeks ago.
    Any ideas/solutions?
    Thanks

    Try going back to http://appleid.apple.com and changing the ID back to the original address. If you can get this accepted, then go to the iCloud preferences/settings pane, stop 'Find My ....', and then sign out. Do the same on any other devices or computers.
    Then go back to http://appleid.apple.com and change the ID to the new one. Sign in with that on all your devices.
    However as the address which forms the original ID is now not working it can't be validated and it's possible that you won't be able to revert to it. In this situation only Support can help you.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • Issues with iCloud registration

    Hi I'm having an issue with Icloud on my mac and iphone. I have tried setting it up more than once, but I never seem to receive the confirmation email. It doesn't go to my spam account, my email is accurate and apple is not blocked. Anyone else having this issue?

    Fromsouth, I think you have misinterpret what i'm trying to say.
    First of all, thanks for your help and advice.
    I know that I can  used my old ID in the settings for purchases, however I am using icloud.com for all of my mails, calendar etc. however I do not want to change my email address as I have changed it once from Hotmail.
    You mentioned that it is stupid just to have an icloud.com address. If Microsft and Google can do it, i'm sure apple can. If I forget my Microsoft password I get them to send the reset password to my phone or I used my computer or any other authorised device to reset my password.
    Don't get me wrong as I am a big fan of apple, all i'm missing from the apple range is a Mac. I truly do love the apple approach and I love my iGadgets. However, I would love to have the option of just having an apple account as I do not want or need a microsft or Google account. In fact, i'm happy to pay the premium to have extra iCloud storage....
    And you are right, iCloud is an excellent service, one that I have come to rely on.

  • I have issues with icloud backup.

    Hi,
    I am facing issues with icloud backup, i have successfully backed up data from iphone 5s to icloud with contacts, notes, calender, reminders etc.
    Unfortunately i can not see the same information after logging in online from browser. After two days the data is restored to one year back icloud back up on my iphone 5s.
    Need help on this.

    A backup of an iPhone using iCloud does not result in the ability to log in to iCloud and view the information (i.e., to see the actual data that was backed up). You can go on your iPhone to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage > device name and see how much storage the latest backup is occupying and when it was done.
    Things like Contacts that are viewable when logging in to iCloud.com are the result of having Settings > iCloud > Contacts (as an example) turned on to sync - which is a different thing than a backup.
    The results of an iCloud backup are only rely viewable when restored back to an iOS device. I'm not sure any of that explanation helps with your current problem but it might help clarify the terminology that Apple uses.

  • I have been having syncing issues with icloud notes, contacts, and now icloud email. Does anyone have suggestions?

    Just recently, I have been unable to receive icloud email on my iphone and new ipad3. Although, I am a loyal apple consumer, I feel a bit let down. I am a PhD student and used my ipad/icloud email for downloading  and reading PDF journal  articles. My goal is to eventally buy a MacBook Pro and eliminate some of the syncing issues with icloud by storing my documents on the hard drive. I hope this will give me some relief from all the trouble I have had with icloud. Please share your suggestions.

    Right now, there is an iCloud blackout.  Most people are having issues syncing Notes, Calenders, and Contacts between devices, emails aren't being sent, and Find My iPhone isn't working.

  • I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update

    I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update.  I'm able to back via work wifi but not at home.  Any ideas?

    Hi BmoreHunter.
         As far as using the bridge mode method you'd need to see what CLJDOhas to say, as that user is the only one that I see in this thread who used this method. The method that worked for me is different. I went out and bought a new modem. This made the most sense to me since the firmware in the unit that comcast gave me had issues and I am paying to rent the thing, I figured that I'll save some money if I just buy my own.
         I ended up purchasing a motorola SURFboard eXtreme (model SB6121) for $70 (happened to be on sale) from my local Target. For another $7 I was able to secure a 2yr warranty against failure, which was my only hesitation in buying vs renting.
         This modem should work just fine for you since you are a comcast customer. If you decide to go with a different modem, the important thing is to make sure that you purchase a modem that is compatible with the technology that your ISP (in this case comcast) uses. Also DOCSIS 3.0 is the "flavor" of cable modem you want as it will give you better performace than DOCSIS 2.0 devices (such as an older Motorola SURFboard).
         Once you buy the modem you will have to call comcast and have them add the modem to your account. They'll ask for the MAC address of the modem, then send a re-set signal to it, so make sure you are home when you call and can connect/disconnect the modem as needed. After your modem is added to your account and up and running you can then connect your new AirPort Express to the modem (via ethernet cable) and you should be all set!

  • How do you synch iCalendar with iCloud?

    How do you synch iCalendar with iCloud?
    I cannot get my father's Calendar data to transfer via iCloud to his iPad.  His Mac is running 10.7.2, and the iPad is running OS 5.0.1 (I think, at least it is OS 5 for sure.)  Everything else (Mail, Contacts, etc) is transferring, but not Calendar.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check that both have calendar syncing enabled, also check that the calendars in iCal you are trying to sync are iCloud calendars and not on my mac calendars (click on the calendar button in the top left corner of iCal).

  • Synching contacts with iCloud problem

    Im have set up my macbook pro with contacts and synching them to Icloud, also have my facebookcontacts added to contacts.
    Everything looks fine and nice.
    Though when im looking in my iPhone it not shown as is is in my computer, i got plenty of double contacts, different sorting aswell, some names are correct and others completely at the wrong place in the sorting,
    I thought i would mirror everything to the iOs device?
    Any hints how to solve this?
    Thanks
    Joar

    If there's a problam with your ID you might need to contact Apple support for assistance.  You might start with iTunes store support: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They frequently deal with Apple ID issues (your iCloud ID is also an Apple ID).  They should be able to help you reset your security questions and explain any potential issues with your ID that are preventing access to iCloud.

  • Synching Issues with iphone 4/ itunes

    When attempting to synch my iphone with itunes, the synch cannot progress past the "backing up" stage. Why?? Getting a bit frustrated now to be honest.
    Every time I plug my phone into the computer, itunes informs me of the latest update required (4.3.5), but because of the synching issue, I obviously can't get the new update.
    any help appreciated

    "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Guru's iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again."
    The above is the error message I receive when trying to upgrade/ synch my iPhone with iTunes on my Laptop. I have the latest version of iTunes available (10.4.1)

  • Synching Issues with Self-Paced Learning and Embedded Flash Files

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having some issues with my files not properly synching or displaying when Self-Paced Learning is active.
    Here is my set-up:
    Captivate 5
    5 separate Captivate files combined using the Aggregator
    Each Captivate file is about 15 slides
    Each slide contains an audio file (for closed-captioning) and a single SWF file - the content is all created with Flash and then inserted into Captivate using Insert > Animation
    Each SWF file is back 1/10 of a second from the beginning of the Cap timeline (otherwise there are rewind issues when the user selects the slide they are currently viewing from the ToC)
    Each embedded SWF has the beginning and ending fade built into it; Captivate is not doing any fading
    Synch to Project is selected for each embedded SWF (although it doesn't seem to work all the time)
    Self-Paced Learning is active, as well as, Enable Navigation
    It is not being loaded to an LMS or using any built-in Captivate quiz features.  These are instead custom built AS3 Flash files that are embedded.
    Windows 7, 4GB RAM, 1GB Video Card, High-end Processor, etc... a beast.
    The Issue:
    When the user opens the course, views it for a while and then closes it and returns it will display the first slide of the course for a moment before jumping to the bookmarked slide.  This slight timing misstep causes the bookmarked slide to get out of synch.  It will sometimes not display the bookmarked slide at all or it will cut-off a small bit from the end of the slide (even with Synch to Project active).  It sometimes works fine but randomly will break.  The course is set to 100% preload and nothing is being loaded from an external location.  It seems to work fine until Self-Paced Learning is activated.
    I don't think this is a common development approach for Captivate but it has been very successful with some clients.  Has anyone encounted similar issues or does anyone have some suggestions that might resolve this problem?
    Thanks!
    Greg

    It's been mentioned many times on this forum that nesting Captivate SWFs inside other Captivate SWFs gives rise to all kinds of strange issues.  Captivate was not designed to work this way. If you choose to do it, and you encounter issues (as you have done) there's usually NOT a lot you can do.  There are just too many ways the SWFs can get into bun fights over which one does what.
    I suggest you rethink your approach to avoid nesting.

  • Google 2 Step Verification on Gmail causing 10.9 issues with iCloud Keychain Sync?

    Hi
    I have just installed 10.9 on my Air 2011 and it works fine. I signed up the iCloud Keychain sync. I also updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.3 and also signed up for iCloud keychain sync. All appeared well until I set up my iMac 2009. This had the same email accounts setup but as POP not IMAP (my bad) and so I ended up with multiple email account copies everywhere. I corrected this on each device without issue. Managed to lock an exchange account for work but I can sort that through IT support tomorrow. Anyway an issue with my Gmail cropped up. As I have 2 step verification enabled I have application specific passwords for each device. Now I found that the iMac (last to move to 10.9) propagated its app specific password to the Air and then locked the Gmail access out. If I correct on the Air it propagates back to the iMac locking that out of my Gmail account.
    So iCloud Keychain sync only seems to support one password for each email account.
    The only option I can see is disable 2 step on gmail and revert to my account password rather than an app specific password.
    Has anyone had a similar issue?
    Has anyone managed to get a solution where gmail 2 step can be retained?
    Is there a way to block certain accounts from participating in the iCloud Keychain sync?
    Is there a way to force the same app specific password on multiple gmail accessing devices?
    Any help welcomed.
    Thanks

    Yep. My other iMac works now too on App specific passwords and iCloud Keychain sync. So that is my iPad, iPhone, Mac Pro, Air, iMac 2012 all working fine on Gmail App Specific passwords. Just my iMac 2009, presume its my bad and in need of a revoke. Sorry for wasting all your time.

  • Issue with iCloud and PC Outlook 2007 Contacts

    Hey,
      So I finally managed to update to iOS 5, and it's fun playing around and learning the new things, but I already got issues.  Minor, but still a nuissance.
      Once synced, My Outlook Calendar became duplicated, and with the slide down tab started showing double notifications. 
      My bigger issue is with how it's syncing with the Contacts.  It emptied the Main Contact folder into an iCloud Contact folder; fine.  However, the Contact Cards would sync perfectly with the original Outlook Calendar, insterting birthdays and everything.  Now, any NEW birthday that I try to add to a new contact, it won't show up on the iCloud calendar, without selecting "show birthdays".  I find this redundant since it now makes double birthday reminders when for those already saved from before the iOS upgrade.
      Why is this happening?  Why can't I just continue using the Outlook Contact cards the same way, and have them load the same way?  Why can't I just add them to the iPhone contact slot, and have them show up WITHOUT selecting the birthday calendar? 
    Thanks.

    Win 7, Outlook 2007 iPhone 4S
    The major issue after reading 100's of posts is this. iCloud sync creates new contacts and calendars (populated with the Outlook current default contact and calendar info then deletes the folders-check outlook trash to recover). This works if you never use Outlook because Outlook is always using the default folders for lookups, saving, etc. and the data from those folders have been deleted.
    - double clicking on an email address never finds anyone b/c its in the icloud contact folder
    - accepting a calendar invitation works...but puts it in the default calendar which iCloud never looks at.
    - reminders can't be used in the non-default calendar on the PC.
    I think...if MS allowed you to select which file your default contacts, calendar were in...independently from your default email pst...Outlook could perform in sync with iCloud. Nutty implementation by Apple though.
    I'm restoring everything back to the way it was...in addition now I'm also getting duplicate appointments on the iPhone (home, office).

  • Outlook 2007 contact synch problems with iCloud

    Running into difficulties synching iCloud 1.0.1 contacts with Outlook 2007.  It freezes/crashes outlook quite regularly. The contacts properly synched the the first time but now I'm getting "Couldn't save changes to x items" when Outlook tries to synch with iCloud. The reason given for a particuliar contact is "got no rsrc name for msg?!".  If i try again, same message. The other option it to 'delete' which then deletes the contact(s) showing up in the error message from icloud folder in outlook but does not affect them in iCloud. I have no contacts in the default outlook folder. I am only using iCloud contacts on PC and iphone 4s.
    The iCloud addin is enabled for Outlook. I removed "contacts with outlook" in the iCloud control panel and re-enabled but this did not fix the problem.
    Any suggestions? I've searched for this error message apple's support but do not find any matches.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    OK, I bit the bullet and manually did the only "work around" that I could come up with. When the message, "got no rsrc name for msg?!" comes up I manually noted the 10 contacts at a time from Outlook that were giving problems and choose the only option which did something - I choose the "delete" button. It deletes those 10 contacts from Outlook's iCloud.  Taking note of which ones i deleted, then, using my iphone - I located those contacts in the iCloud (as it doesn't delete them from the cloud, but neither are then in Outlook) and made a small modification to each one - e.g. adding a period in the note field, saved and exited the contact. Then I went back to Outlook and refreshed from the iCloud. Sometimes you have to wait 3-4 mintues for the update to come through. If you get a message about a new batch of 10 contacts that have synch error problems, you will need to "X" out and close the dialog box. Sometimes only a few of the modified contacts come through and you need to go back to the cloud via phone a modify those straggler contacts again (adding another period, etc.)
    Once all the previously deleted contacts come back into Outlook's iCloud folder, check them off your list as complete. Refresh iCloud on Outlook (mine has a button for this at the top of Outlook bar). You should get your next batch of 10 conflicts.  Go thru the WHOLE process for ALL of your Outlook contacts.
    I am pleased to say this consumed half of my Saturday doing this incredibly boring and tedious workaround for an obvious bug.  I had about 250 contacts. I pity anyone that has 500+ contacts...you many as well throw the PoS phone out and go with an android.
    Problem fixed, no more Outlook crashing/hanging or contact synch 'errors'.
    all the best....
