Syncing with iCloud from iTunes and MobileMe

I'm having trouble syncing my iphone and computer with icloud because I had a differenct itunes account then mobile me.  I wanted to sync my music from my itunes account so I did that but now I'm all tangled up.  When I synced my computer it transferred from mobileme.  Are there any step- by-step instructions to help me?  Thanks

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

    My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad.  Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

    Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
    The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
    Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

  • My iPad won't sync with iCloud anymore, iPhone and Mac are fine, suggestions?

    I have NO calendars showing up in iCal, no lists in reminders, no contacts.
    I've deleted the iCloud account on the iPad and resigned in - no help. All the settings for accounts are the same on my iPad and iPhone.
    Curiously, I get no "Default Calendar" setting in my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" pref on the iPad

    Hello Modean,
    It sounds like you have deleted and re added the iCloud account to your iPad but none of the iCloud content will sync to this one device. I have a few things to recommend for you. First, delete the iCloud account again from Settings > iCloud. Then close all the apps on the iPad:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, reset the network settings on your iPad then retest the issue:
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • HT1296 Notes not syncing with iCloud.  Calendar and contacts transferred, but not notes.

    Notes not syncing w/ iCloud.  Contacts, calendar, etc. sync, but not notes.

    I found on mine when the notes were not syncing that for some reason the settings got changed on my iphone to sync to AOL???????   I did not do this and do not know how it happened.  After I changed to ICloud and then looked the notes did go to ICloud.  Unfortunately, now I can't sign into ICloud on one of my PC's and can on the other as I left myself signed in but can't access Notes as an error message says "problem loading application".  All this has been quite frustrating and has been ongoing for about 3 weeks.!!!!  
    Apple doesn't seem to have a handle on all of this or is ignoring the support network!!!

  • ToDo app not syncing with iCloud to iPad and iPhone

    I have the Appigo ToDo app on my ipad and was synching it successfuly with my Mac iCal reminders.  Prefering to use ToDo i have now installed it on my Mac and on my iPhone but it won't sych them together via the iCloud as promised.  Using the 'advanced' tab i managed to get all the info onto all three devices but when i change something on one device - its doesn't change on the others.  I have followed the instructions and repeated them - is there something i am missing?

    @geands - Did you ever get a fix?
    mine is the same after working fine for months - now they are all different! argh!
    have reset them all - even though I fear losing stuff.
    I'm going to try going back to a local network connection to sync - will keep you posted.

  • Ipad and iphone not syncing with icloud

    My ipad AND iphone 4S have stopped syncing with icloud - for calendar and reminders at least - suspect for all apps - any suggestions anyone? Have tried ensuring default calender is the same across all, but thus is also impacting other apps.. Help appreciated.

    Do you mean per app? Have done for calendar on iphone, but reluctant to do so on ipad as that's the one that contains loads of updates (as it means deleting everything on the ipad?)... if I have to do this I will eventually, its just that as it's both my iphone and ipad involved, it seems like it might be more likely to be an icloud issue? She said hopefully...

  • ICal not syncing with iCloud or iPhone

    Hi,
    I just got a new iPhone today and I am having trouble syncing my iCal to it. Prior to this I did not have an iCloud. I created one on iCloud.com but everything there is blank. The iCal on my laptop is full, but I don't see an option in preferences to sync with iCloud, only something about MobileMe. I don't really understand what I'm suppose to do. I've looked through many different forums about this, but nobody seems to talk about my specific problem. Ideas?
    Side question... where is Facetime on the iPhone? I thought it was included, but I can't find it and it's not avilable through the app store.
    Thanks!

    Greetings,
    If you are running OS X 10.6 or earlier on your computer you will want to either:
    A. Sync your calendar using the USB cable and NOT use iCloud calendars (as iCloud requires Lion (10.7): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    B. Purchase and install Lion assuming your Mac meets the requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
    If you are running 10.7 on your Mac (Check by going to Apple > About this Mac), reply back and we can suggest how to get the calendars on iCloud.
    To your side question:
    While this isn't the iPhone forum, your profile says you are using an iPhone 3G.  FaceTime for iOS is available on iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4 S and iPod touch (4th generation): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
    Hope that information sheds some light.

    i live in a home with two other people, and one housemate tried to sync up his content from iTunes and iCloud onto another housemate's new iPad. the iTunes library only contains my content. is there any way to retrieve the other person's iCloud? Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

  • What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.

    What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.
    This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
    Any experience doing this the "right" way?

  • HT1386 I am unable to get a two way calendar sync with my iPhone 4s and my mac's ical.  iTunes syncs my mac's calendar to the phone, but not the other way.  I do not use iCloud and I cannot find any menu for removing sync history as described by others.

    I have spent 3 hours trying to get my ical updated on my mac with events added to my iphone calendar. Itunes will sync the calendars from the mac to the phone, but not vice versa.  I have read every post which relates to this problem, but I do not use iCloud, there is no iSync app on my mac, and there is no menu to delete sync history under system preferences.  My mac is fairly new and is running Mac OS X 10.7.4.   I tried to delete the iphone from itunes and start over, but can't even do that.   Now what?  Any advice short of throwing both devices out the window?

    For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3: 
    If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
    Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:   
    if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
    Choose Reset Sync Services.
    Click Reset Sync History.
    Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
    In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
    Open Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
    Press Return.
    Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

  • I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there.  What could be happening?  What am I doing wrong?

    I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists.  Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist.  I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it.  I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
