What can I sync with iCloud?

Can I sync text messages from my iPhone or iPad to my PC computer? Also if I get a new iPhone, can I transfer my iMessage and text messages to my new iPhone thru iCloud? If so, how would I do that?

iCloud doesn't sync text messages, but they your iMessages will appear on all your devices that are using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You don't need an iCloud account to do this.
iCloud syncs contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, notes, etc.  It will also back up your devices, stream photos between them sync documents and data between iCloud-enabled apps, provide a way to locate, lock and/or erase a lost device, and provide you with an iCloud email account.  It will also sync contacts, calendars, mail and notes with Outlook 2007 or higher on your PC.  More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2608.

  • Can't sync with iCloud and iphoto

    i have an iphone 4, fully updated with ios5 at its newest update whatever that is.
    i just backed up my whole iphone to the cloud and then reset the whole phone and restored it from the cloud. so now everythign on my phone is from the cloud. i even bought itunes match.
    my one problem is, now i can't sync iphoto with my phone. i usually like to have my iphone have my last 20 events from iphoto, but now that my whole phone is on the cloud, when i connect it to my computer, it starts to sync from itunes instead of icloud, and then changes everything.
    i connected my phone to the computer and itunes popped up and it started syncing everything from itunes and replacing everything. so i had to stop it, and restore my whole phone again
    it's so complicated. i just want to have my phone sync with the cloud, but i also want iphoto to sync with my phone, but it seems i can only do that through itunes, which i can't sync with itunes if i'm syncing with the icloud

    Brad...
    now i can't sync iphoto with my phone
    You can sync from iPhoto.
    Tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Photo Stream is switched on.
    when i connect it to my computer, it starts to sync from itunes instead of icloud, and then changes everything.
    Once you have iCloud setup, there's no need to connect your iPhone to a computer and sync media using iTunes. Everything is synced via a W-Fi network.

  • Ical can't sync with iCloud - request CalDavAccountRefreshQeueableOperation for account "iCloud" failed

    Hello All,
    I am using a 2009 Unibody Macbook running OS X 10.8.2. I use iCal and depend on iCloud to sync my calendar between my Macbook, iPhone, and iPad. I've noticed recently that iCal on my Macbook will no longer sync with the iCloud server. (Note: my other devices, iPhone and iPad, are syncing just fine.) When I try to refresh my calendar, I get this error message:
    I have tried deleting my iCloud account from the calendar accounts and re-adding it (as some older threads suggested trying), and this does not fix the problem. Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks!
    KK

    I also tried to delete and re-add my icloud account from the system preferences ---> icloud option on my macbook. When re-adding/merging my calendars & reminders I got this error message instead:
    I'm definitely online, so I really don't know what's causing the problem / why I can't seem to connect to the iCloud server from my MacBook. Help?
    KK

  • I have the wrong Apple ID on my laptop so I can't sync with iCloud

    Is there a way I can change my iCloud account ID for my Mac so I can share info with my iPhone and iPad?
    Thanks

    Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the correct ID.

  • How many devices can I sync with icloud

    I would like to use iCloud to sync address book and calendars in our small office. We will have several users at once accessing via iPhones and Macs. I was doing this with Mobile Me for a while but at the end it was not syncing correctly and duplicated my contacts.
    Do you know if this is possible or advisable.
    Sender

    You can quite a few devices to iCloud on one account (up to 100 I think).  Note that you should only sync what you are willing to lose.  For example, if one of your co-workers deletes a contact, the contact will be removed from all of the computers associated with the account that have contact syncing turned on.

  • HT4436 sync with icloud and pc

    i sync my phone to my pc now i have ipad to and want to sync with pc , phone and ipad
    can i sync with icloud and still sync to my pc when connected

    You shouldn't try to sync data such as contacts and calendars with both iCloud and iTunes if that's what you're asking.  If you do, it will create duplicates in contacts and calendars.  You should sync with either iCloud or iTunes, but not both.  You can (and should) continue to sync your devices with iTunes to manage iTunes media (apps, music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc.).

  • 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.

  • Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

    Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

    Thanks again.
    Unfortunately I don't have iPhoto (running Windows).
    I did, however, figure out a work-around.
    I created an empty directory on my computer, and told iTunes to "Sync Photos from..." that empty directory. This deleted all the photos from the iPod (go figure).
    I then set the "Sync Photos from..." dropdown back to directory that actually contained all my photos, and sync'd again.
    And, yes, they all loaded onto the iPod at their better, higher resolution.
    Thanks for all your help. Photos (and wallpaper) are perfect, again

  • HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)?  I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer.  I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong).  This has been going on for almost a week now.

    The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
    You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
    What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
    - connecting the iPad to your Mac
    - selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
    - selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
    You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there  then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
    By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
    And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
    I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

  • Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

    Help.  I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password.  Now asking for a password and I never set one up.  What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either).  Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password!  Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
    Thanks.
    Desparate

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

  • HT1688 I have a new iphone 5. I can not get my contact to sync with icloud on my iMac. I have an msn account for email.

    I have an imac with OS X 10.8.2 and an iphone 5. i have AT&T service and msn email account. My contacts and calendar are not syncing with icloud! I have all the settings adjusted correctly and I can not figure out why it won't sync.

    iPhones running iOS 6 require iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or later. You will have to upgrade OS X, then download the latest version of iTunes.
    You can copy your iTunes library to the new machine either manually, or you can use the migration assistant built into OS X to transfer the entire account. Up to 5 computers can be activated using the same iTunes account.
