Two computers, but icloud is only syncing one way

I have a desktop and a laptop. Both with MacOX 10.7.2    Both have cloud turned on with the same Apple ID. Both have calendar and address book syncing selected.   On both machines Calendar and Address Book have icloud accounts set up in the preferences.
The laptop's one address book entry made it to the cloud, and then made it back down to the desktop.
The desktop's 200 address book entries have gone nowhere.   Not in the cloud, and not to the laptop.
If I add a new address to the laptop,it instantly goes to the cloud and down to the desktop (it is impressive    If I add a new address to the desktop, it goes nowhere.
Same behavior in the calendar
Not sure what else to check. I can't see any way to 'push' data up.   Software update shows everythign is up to date.   checking icloud.com I can only see the one laptop address.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Always, the second after I post a question....
On the desktop I signed out of icloud and signed back in. That was enough to kick the cloud to re-sync everything and both computers seem to be talking now. (yah yah, should have tried that too before posting). have to admit - signing out of the cloud was scary - lots of warnings that "I'll delete cloud-only things from this computer". ouch.

Calendar only Syncs one way

I recently made large changes to my iCal involving my whole schedule, and when I connected my iPhone I expected that it would sync so that my phone would now match my computer, but my computer keeps insisting that my computer's iCal be changed to match my phone. Where are the controls to the change this?
It might be a stupid question, but an annoying situation nonetheless.

One thing that might help.
When you connect the iphone, click on the info tab.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page on the info tab and there are check boxes to replace the data on the iphone.
Hope this helps.

ICloud Control Panel Only Syncing One Way

I have been looking for a way to sync my information across my Outlook (exchange) calendar on work PC and iPhone 5. Came across the iCloud Control Panel and it seems to be a great solution. I installed it on the work PC and got all the iCloud calendars to show up on Outlook, but the Outlook calendar doesn't show up on my iPhone or on iCloud. Any ideas/troubleshooting tips for making the sync go both ways?
If I add a calendar event to my iCloud calendar using Outlook it shows up on my iPhone, but the Outlook calendar is not an option that I can select/view at all on iCal.

I signed out and deleted iCloud on both devices. I shut them down and restarted. Neither the iPad or the iPhone will accept my password in the Software Updates.
I can re-set up iCloud with my password and purchase Apps on both devices. It just will not accept the Software Update. I look forward to your ideas.

ICloud calendar only syncs one direction

Not sure if I have things set up right.
If I create a Calendar event on my Mac it syncs & appears on both my wifes & my iPod Touch (same apple id)
But events we create on our iPods just stays on our own iPod & does not sync to all 3 locations.
Is there some settings I should check?

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.

ML 10.8.1 Calender only syncing one-way

Okay, so the problem is that my Mac Calendar is not syncing its events to iCloud. However, it does work the other way around.
My e-mail and contacts synchronization is working just fine.
So:
Event made on Mac Calendar -> iCloud / iPhone / iPad does NOT work
Event made on iCloud.com / iPhone / iPad -> Mac Calendar DOES work
Troubleshooting I’ve done (and please read carefully):
*Verified that I’m not accidently writing in a local calendar on the Mac
*Verified that I’m not out of space; I have 21,81 GB available
*Verified I’m really looking to the correct date & time
*Created a new, empty, calendar to test with; no solution
*Hit the Sync button manually a thousand times
*Passwords are correct and even changed them, just to be sure
*A fresh install without restoring any back-ups. After letting iCloud sync, the problem still persists!
So once again: Even on a clean install of Mountain Lion with only iCloud logged in, the problem is still not solved.
Events created on the Mac calendar are not syncing to iCloud.
When I look into the Console, I see several error messages, which are not recognized by Google nor do I know what it exactly means.
An example:
31-08-12 19:02:04,251 CalendarAgent[3467]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.caldav.queue] [This change request has been materialized into a queueable operation before.

    sourceUID = nil;
    type = 21;
})]. First materialized date: [2012-08-31 07:27:19 +0000]. Existing error: [(null)]]
I'm using a MacBook pro 7,1 with a legit version of Mountain Lion.
What sorcery is this?

I can confirm it probably has to do with my account.
I've just removed all shared calendars, and on the new account with my gf's iCloud everything works smoothly.
I've also removed all shares of my own calendar, leaving only my personal calendar. However, it still does not work.
So your suggestion is to now export all calendars, then remove all calendars, and then test with new calendars?
But what do I do if it's still not working then? Because then I have no calendar data on my devices, and then I'll probably die because I'd even forget to breathe without my agenda.

Razr- only syncs one way

Hi there. My boyfriend got a Razr and he was able to iSync his Address Book perfectly fine. The iCal part did not show up in his Calendar on his V3 Razr though... I did a test, added an entry on the Razr, then synched up. Oddly enough, what I added on the phone ended up as a new event in iCal, but the events I've added in his iCal will not show up on the Razr.
Anyone know what the heck is going on here??? Please help. Thanks.

It's difficult to say what precisely is happening, as a number of factors may be affecting transfer of data from the truth database to your mobile handset and to iCal.
Which specific RAZR V3 is this - a GSM V3, a V3c, a V3i or V3x? And who is the wireless carrier providing the handset?
What happens generally with the synchronization of calendaring data is this: information flows not directly between your device and iCal, but rather though an intermediate file known as the truth database, or simply the truth.
Motorola RAZR V3 <==> the truth <==> iCal
If you are interested in a more comprehensive explanation, you can find one in this Apple Developer note concerning the Sync Services framework:
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
To reset the truth, launch iCal and select Reset Sync History… from the Preferences… dialog. Follow the instructions there and you will be afforded what appears to be an initial synchronization event, in which you will be asked if you want to Replace the data on your mobile handset or Merge data with it. Select Replace to overwrite the data. Subsequent synchronization should work as expected—with data transfered in both directions—without additional problems.

My phone only syncs one way

Merry Christmas! When I enter a new contact in my address book on my imac it reaches my phone no problem but when I enter a new contact on my iPhone 4 it never gets back to my computer. Curious huh?

iPhone->Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Calendars->Default Calendar = your gmail account
I do the same for Notes so they sync to Gmail.
I hope Google will have a Notes app or just some way to be able to create and edit notes through them and sync back the iPhone

Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

Dear Gkaiseril
Thank you very much for your answer!
This I fears already J
With JavaScript I have even less an idea than with the program Acrobat Pro XI. Is there not a other solution to solve this problem.
Is it may possible that’s you can show me how such a JavaScript could look like or you know may a existing script?
Anyway, thank your help.

Technical question: Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

Technical question:
Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers. I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

HT3819 I have turned Home Sharing on on two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer. What does this mean? What do I do? THANKS!

I have turned Home Sharing on for two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer. What does this mean? What do I do? I am trying to get music from one library into another library to sync with my ipod so that I can have all songs on the ipod from both libraries.
Thank you for your help!

If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar.
If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Traffic only allowed one-way for VPN connected computers

Hello,
I currently have an ASA 5505. I have set it up as a remote access SSL VPN. My computers can connect to the VPN just fine. They just can't access the internal LAN (192.168.250.0). They can't ping the inside interface of the ASA, or any of the machines. It seems like all traffic is blocked for them. The strange thing is that when someone is connected to the VPN, I can ping that VPN-connect machine from the ASA and other machines inside the LAN. It seems the traffic only allows one way. I have messed with ACL's with no avail. Any suggestions please?

Hello,
I seem to be having the same kind of issue although I cannot ping from either end.
Ive set up a l2tp/ipsec vpn which I am able to connect to and get ip from my ip pool (radius authentication is working).
I tried running:
access-list NAT_0 permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
nat (inside) 0 access-list NAT_0
but i get an error msg saying that the syntax of the nat command is deprecated. Im running ASA version 8.4.
Ive fiddled around abit to find the correct syntax but have been unsuccessfull so far.
Any help would be much appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you using the same homesharing ID for both computers, are they on the same network.

I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.
