Text Expansions/Shortcuts Not Syncing Under iOS 8

Since purchasing an iPhone 6 and restoring from iCloud this weekend, my text expansions/shortcuts have yet to update on the phone. I declined to use iCloud Drive, thinking I would wait until Mac OS X Yosemite is released. Is that the problem?

I set up my iPad2 as a new iPad with iOS 8, and the text expansions somehow came over and were available for a while, and since have mysteriously disappeared!

text on ipad not syncing with iPhone at all times

Same with me. It used to be that Books would sync with my iPhone, but it seems that since IOS 5 came out they don't sync any more. Everything else syncs fine through iCloud; iPhone 4s & IPad 2.

ITunes 11.1.1 will not sync with ios 7.02 - "waiting for changes to applied"

iTunes 11.1.1 running on MacBook Air will not sync with ios 7.02 - "waiting for changes to be applied". I have been having this issue since upgrading to 11.1. I thought the upgrade to 11.1.1 will take care of it

Anyone having this same problem? I need my iPad to sync! efclvkjhbsdfvlkj
Yes, my iPhone 5 running ios 7 will not sync in *any* way with itunes now. I can neither add nor remove content via itunes. I just tried to delete 100% of my music from my iphone, it hung forever on "Waiting for changes to be applied" and then when it was finally done... no changes had been applied.
I can't add, remove, change, delete or in any way of any kind sync my iphone with itunes any longer.
I'm becoming the person who refuses to update to the new Apple OS. I used to get very excited about new OS updates. That all ended around Mountain Lion. Yesterday when I saw that Mavericks was out I wasn't excited. Instead I felt a sense of dread, and for good reason. Every time they release an OS in the last few years it's just a cluster-F.

Calendar not syncing on iOS 7, now calendars have disappeared.

Hi all,
Just recently I noticed my Calendar on my iPhone 4 with iOS 7 was not syncing correctly.
My Mac and iCloud.com are correctly in sync.
After following the troubleshooting steps (iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar) I got to the stage where I deleted the calendars on my iPhone as part of the process of turning off my iCloud calendars, and turning them back on. I had backed them up, and they still work on my Mac and iCloud.com.
Now I have no calendars on my iPhone, and can't seem to add any new ones, or get the sync to work. Ive tried all the steps in the troubleshooting.
Has anyone experienced and solved anything similar?
Thanks!
Jon

If you haven't already tried, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll on your phone, then delete you iCloud account and sign back in. To do this, saving your photo stream photos by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, scroll down and tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud), choose Delete from My iPhone and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud). Wait a minute or so, then sign back in (your data will download back to your phone). Then test your calendar syncing again.

Notes sync between iOS devices problem

Whenver I create notes on my iphone, they sync to my ipad, but when I create them on my ipad, they do not sync to my iphone. My ipad is on ios 7 and my iphone is on ios 5. Is this the reason why?

On the ipad go to settings and notes and make sure that default notes are the same as on your phone.

Problems with iPad Exchange Calendar Sync under iOS 5.0.1

Under the prior iOS, I had been using my iPhone (3GS) and iPad1 with my calendar (and mail) synching with my Exchange account without any problems.
Now, under iOS 5.0.1, my calendar synchronization and how invitations are handled has become completely erratic.
Fortunately, none of the actual events on the server have been corrupted.
But when I accept invitations on my computer, the invitations don't get cleared on the phone. And/or they mysteriously change to "grey" unaccepted events.
If I then accept an invitation on the phone, it does not get changed on the iPad. If I then accept it on the iPad, then the phone switches its status to an unaccepted event.
It is completely infuriating.

Templeton - I realized I'm not completely clear about your suggestion.
Do you turn off the calendar for the Exchange acccount under the Settings for the iPhone or iPad. Which I guess eliminates the account, and then you have to enable it again and get it synched down to the appliance?
I was debating trying this approach, and was encouraged that you found it to work.....
Thanks.
correct.

Games are not syncing across iOS devices

My games are not syncing across my iOS devices. Both my iPhone and iPad are running the same software and are linked to the same account. However my games don't seem to sync. Which is annoying if I'm playing a game on one device I have to start over on another. For example temple run does not sync. Anyone have any suggestions. I'm also having the same problem with infinity blade 2.

Game syncs only work for games that support iCloud. The game developer has to enable that feature. There are several games such as Jetpack Joyride and League of Evil 2 that support iCloud syncing of games. Unfortunately, other games like Temple Run don't do that since the dev never implemented that feature.

Calendar not syncing after iOS 4.3.1 update

Over-the-air calendar synchronization with MS Exchange (Outlook) seems to be broken after upgrading to iOS 4.3.1 (8F190). Worked fine last week with iOS 4.2.1. Both "Push" method and "Fetch" methods are affected. Email synchronization with the same Exchange server is working fine.
When someone sends a meeting invite, the invite temporarily shows up on the iPod touch calendar until the meeting is accepted on the PC (which causes the invite email to be deleted). At this point, the meeting shows up as accepted on the Outlook Calendar on the PC, but no longer shows up on the iPod Touch calendar.
I have also tried entering a meeting on the iPod touch calendar and it has not sync'd to the Exchange server. So the syncing issue seems to be bi-directional.
I'm not seeing any error messages regarding any sort of synchronization problems (actually I'm not sure where to look for such errors), so I'm entering a new topic.

I'm having the same problem after updating to 4.3 and it's driving me crazy.
I noticed today when some of the meetings I created on my iPhone were not on the Exchange server and some of the meetings I created in Outlook are not on my iPhone. I turned off calendar sync with my Exchange on the iPhone to clear the entries and turned it back on, but some of the calendar items will not sync no matter how many times I reset it.
I then decided to check my contacts and sure enough the latest contact I added to my iPhone never made it to the Exchange server. I'm not sure if the Exchange contacts are syncing to the iPhone yet, but I suspect they are not.
APPLE WE NEED A FIX ASAP! I left BlackBerry for iPhone because of how well the Exchange integration worked, but now it's REALLY BROKEN!
I am on 4.3 and not sure if I should update to 4.3.1?

ICloud contacts do not sync under ML

I have 697 contacts in 11 groups stored in iCloud and all appear on my iPhone and iPad. They were also visible in the contacts app on my MacBook Air so far. After the installation of ML yesterday, there are only 490 contacts and no groups and changes made on the MacBook do not sync to iClound.
Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Date changes in Aperture not syncing with IOS 7 iPhone iPad

Hi, there are a certain number of photos in my Aperture library which are showing the correct date or have had the date and time adjusted but when synced to iPhone or iPad the dates are completely wrong. It seems to be fairly random, any clues?
Thanks

I recently experienced the same problem wth images that had adjusted dates in Aperture. Though I can't offer an explanation as to what went wrong, I did manage to solve it.
In iTunes deselect any synced photo albums which contain images that are displaying incorrect dates in iOS7 - sync your iOS device (the albums and images will be removed). Now select the photo albums again in iTunes, resync your device - the images will be added again with the correct dates (well that was my experience. Best of luck).

Yahoo calender will not sync on iOS device

Hello,
My Yahoo calender will not sync with the standard calender app on my iPhone. New appointments, entered in the Yahoo calender appear not on the iPhone.
Switchting on/off the calender in Yahoo forces an update to the iPhone, nothing else helps. Anyone familiar with this problem?
Thanks.

had same issues. I put event via iphone and did not sync with yahoo but did with ical on the mac. main problem was writing events on the iphone not syncing. I have tried many ways to solve but I may have seemed to solve it (for me anyway) but you could give it a try.
Go to Settings- Mail,contacts,calenders.
Scroll down to calenders.
Choose DEFAULT CALENDER.
If it is ticked on icloud change it to Yahoo! which is probably at the top.
I then tried to write an event via the iphone and hey presto, it was added to my yahoo and ical calenders. Remember it may take a while unless you have set everything to push. i will give this a few tests (as i onlytried it a few moments ago myself) but seems to work.

Text Shortcuts on Mac not syncing with iOS Devices

It appears that my iOS devices are syncing text shortcuts, because when I add/remove one from one device, it's replicated on the other devices.
However, text shortcut changes made on my Mac ( Macbook Air, latest Mavericks version ) are not replicated to the iOS devices, and vice-versa. It's like my iPad and iPhone have decided to share with each other , and ignore my Mac.
I tried deleting the com~apple~Textinput folder, but that did not have any effect. I also tried turning iCloud off and on on my Mac, and that did not help, either.
Ideas on how to fix this?

I figured it out, I turned off Document syncing on all devices, then deleted the ~Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput folder instead of the subfolders that I deleted the first time, Then I turned document syncing back on (warning , all text shortcuts are gone! ) on my Mac, and then on my iOS devices.
It took a few minutes for my devices to catchup, but they all went to zero text shortcuts, and I was able to create a new text shortcut on each device and have it replicate to the other devices.
While this fixed my problem, it's a good idea to back up your text shortcuts to another program( evernote? ) in case you need to do what I just did to fix a syncing issue.

Keyboard shortcuts do not sync between iOS devices

I use keyboard shortcuts a lot - mainly because im lazy but also because I have fat thumbs and tend to make lots of spelling mistakes. Prior to upgrading to iOS 8.1.1 I had the same problem reported elsewhere that my shortcuts kept disappearing but after the upgrade that no longer happens (touch wood). Now however I find that if I add a new shortcut to my iPhone 4s, it doesn't get synced to my iPad mini. Both devices are running iOS 8.1.2 and both have iCloud drive enabled and signed in to the same Apple account. I've tried doing a hard reboot on both devices, signing out and back into iCloud. Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

I contacted AppleCare and was told the following...
The only time iBooks will sync is when pressing the Library button to close the book and return to the iBooks library.
Press the Home button
Press the Home button and completely close the app (double-tap home button, swipe up on iBooks)
I have tried everything and they are sending an escalation to their engineers for an update. Until then, no news and nothing left to report.
I tested this same issue with Kindle and Google Books; Kindle syncs only the furthest page read, Google Books syncs the current page read (as iBooks is supposed to do), and it works reliably in both cases.
I'm guessing this is a bug in the iBooks app as I did not have this issue with iBooks since iPad 1 in 2010.

Safari bookmarks not syncing in iOS 8.0.2

Safari bookmarks stopped syncing at least since 8.0.2 (not sure if it already broke in 8.0.1).
I have this configuration
iPhone4,1 (4S)
iOS 8.0.2
OS X 10.9.5
iTunes 11.4 (18)
I read that to sync bookmarks you need 10.8 or earlier, but that doesn’t make any sense to me, I won’t use iCloud for that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
I restored my iPhone to no avail. Any ideas?

I recently upgraded Mountain Lion to Mavericks. Until now it's been disappointing. I read about these so-called syncing features too late.
See How to locally sync an iPhone with OS X Mavericks? iCloud is NOT an option.

Adobe Edge Inspect not syncing on ios devices?

Hiya,
Just trialing Edge Inspect at work. It works excellently on my Galaxy SII, but it doesn't work so well on any ios devices we have in the office, including ipads 1,2,3 and iphones 4/4S/5 (running ios5 and 6). I can get the page to sync initially but it then refuses to follow my changes from Chrome forcing me to manually refresh the desktop client or the device... which makes the whole process a little frustrating.
I'm wondering if it is possibly network related, but if so... why does it work so well on an Android device? It doesnt matter what site i look at, so i know its not a matter of page load.
Any advice, further suggestions are welcome.
Cheers
R

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the response! Sorry for the delayed reply. I was waiting to be able to be near the same people again with the various iPhones but I haven't been able to hook up with them at this time. Probably later next week.
See response to your questions below:
To make sure I understand, you are connecting these devices to a server they are auto-discovering, right?
Yes. Although, I had to manually put the IP into the older Kindle Fire and one of the other Android devices. I can't remember if it was the Galaxy Tab or Nexus 7 ( I believe it was the Nexus).
You've got at least 8 other devices that you're not having any problems with?
Yes.
Do your iPhone 4 & 5 devices display any error when you try to connect?
No errors
Are you sure your devices are all on the same network as your computer?
Yes. There are actually multiple networks. We tried switching to another network to no effect. This is after shutting down the app on Master and the slaved devices.
Can you browse to a simple webpage like google.com and have the devices follow along, or do those devices not synch browse to ANY web pages?
We didn't do the google test but we did go to another site. mrtestsite.com as well as azimba.com. Browsed multiple pages on each site.
If it's only a specific web page, what's the URL of that page?
See above
Can you check your computer for any firewall software and make sure it's disabled?
Didn't do that. Will try that again next time. Running it on the MacBook Air (10.7.5). Firewall is set to Limit Connections to Specific Devices and the EdgeInspect.applicaiton is set to Allow all Connections there.
Can you try uninstalling from the iPhones, removing all the app data, and reinstalling?
Did not do that. Will try. These were fresh installs from the app store.
What version of iOS is running on each of those devices?
Not sure. I'll check with them when I see them. Two of them are major tech heads so I'm pretty sure they're running the latest version of iOS for iPhone.
The irony of this is that I was going to be demoing the Inspect tool at an LA tech job fair sponsored by Adobe so it would be nice to resolve this issue.
