Why have reminders stopped synching on ios8 when iCloud Drive is switched on

i have shared reminder lists on my iPhone that are failing to sync onto my iPad now that both devices have iOS 8 installed. If I disable iCloud Drive then the sync starts working again. Any ideas why?

That is a great comparison of the different views of app specific folders and settings in iCloud.
I agree, it is confusing. Some of the differences are easily explained, but the inconsistency is confusing and irritating.
One reason for differences is probably caused by the transit from the old application centric "iCloud: Documents & Data" to iCloud Drive. Not all applications have yet been updated to the new scheme, for example GarageBand. It still cannot access iCloud Drive, but uses the old "document&Data". I hope, that will happen soon. But I doubt, that we ever will be able to open GarageBand for Mac projects with GarageBand iOS on mobile devices, at least if want the projects to sound the same on the mobile device. The mobile devices are still too limited to hold the full sound library and to bring the same processing power as the mac.

If you upgraded the iOS version on them to iOS 7, and you haven't upgraded your iTunes to at least 11.1 then that could be the cause of your issues.

Why have I been prompted to refresh when don't remember any problems except slow to open? Don't think I reported this.

Why have I been prompted to refresh when don't remember any problems except slow to open? Don't think I reported this, but need to. It is a huge problem, most times takes >3 min for browser to open! I click on task bar icon and wait. Then right click & choose Moz FF. Eventually 2 screens open. I hope I don't have to refresh to clear this up. TY, Gracie

When icloud drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

When iCloud Drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
ANyone found a solution to this?
I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

Hi Susana,
I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

Ios8 without iCloud Drive impacted iCloud syncing

I installed ios8 on an iPad Without iCloud Drive. It's now not fully syncing with my ios7 iPhone.
For troubleshooting I created test Note, Calendar, Contact and Reminder entries on my iPhone and only the Note entry synched from the iPhone to the iPad.
From my online research I didnt see any reference to where it would be an issue in synching between ios7 and ios8 if iCloud Drive hasnt been installed. I havent installed it but am having synch problems.
Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.
steve

It looks like my problem has been fixed and I've been able to synch bidirectionally between the ipad and the iphone for Notes, Reminders, Contacts and Calendar.
In ios7 and after the upgrade to ios8 but before doing the sign out I just did, when I went into Settings and looked at iCloud under the far left Settings column my Apple Id was displayed immed under Settings.
So I just signed out of the Settings>iCloud Apple Id. When I went to sign back in I 1st had to enter my iCloud Id. I went to iCloud.com Mail to figure out what that was, and signed in with it. There was also a field after that to enter my Apple Id but after it verified my iCloud ID it skipped that and I was done.
Now when I go into into Settings and look at iCloud under the far left Settings column my iCloud Id is displayed immed under Settings.
This set up changed from ios7 to ios8 - it's changed from the Apple Id to the iCloud id.
Thanks so much for your guidance; I couldn't have done this without your assistance.

BOTH computers have suddenly stopped synching with my Treo

Howdy -
I've been battling this for a week. First my home Mac, then my work Mac, within days of each other (no more than a week, maybe) stopped synching with my Treo. And I think the problem is with both computers!
Reason: The problem is clearly with the Transport Monitor on the Palm Desktop HotSynch. It ain't there. And before you ask, I've redownloaded the latest desktop (I already had the latest to begin with!), and restarted, several times on both computers in the past week. The EXACT same things happen:
- attempt at Hotsynch yields nothing on the computers. No reaction, no connection, no communication.
- Open Hotsynch on desktop; low and behold, Hotsynch is DISABLED - Ok; click on Enabled......and 5 seconds later, by itself, it DISABLES itself again.
--- and gives an error message: "Transport Monitor could not complete your request. (16)."
Ah-hah; that's why there's no communication with the Treo when it tries to Hotsynch, he says smugly. I'll check the Palm Folder.......checking....well, the Transport Monitor icon is there. Huh.
- simplest thing: re-download and install latest Desktop. Done. Restart.
- now, that's funny; while the computer was rebooting, that same darn error message came up: "Transport Monitor could not complete your request. (16)."
This is before the computer is 100% restarted even. It's almost like, during the restart process, when it checked (or tried to enable, I guess?) Transport Monitor, it was failing right there.
- Try to Hotsynch - again, Palm desktop doesn't even know it's happening; no communication with the Treo. (And no "Transport Monitor" error message, either; maybe because it doesn't know it's there?). Nothing.
- Go check. HotSynch; yup, same thing; Hotsynch is DISABLED - and won't allow itself to be enabled. Go to Palm Folder, and yup, Transport Monitor appears to be right there, size 360kb.
If there is a problem recognizing Transport monitor, even AFTER it is ENABLED; or, replaced with a brand new transport monitor (via the Desktop download)..... then he thinks he'll: trash the Transport Monitor. Empty the Mac trash. Restart. Then redownload the Desktop which includes a totally pristine Transport Monitor!
Ok! Restart.....
- and the exact same thing happens. During the Mac restart after yet another Palm Desktop download, that darn Transport Monitor error message comes up, just on the restart. Then repeat all the testing and checking above......nothing has changed.
AND THIS ALL HAS OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE MACS - one at work, one at home. And while they don't have identical software applications (naturally), they are acting exactly the same with this Palm Desktop error, too the tee - and they failed in this within one week of each other.
Both MacBooks are almost identical; both less than a year old; one with 4 gig RAM, one with 2 gig ram. Both running 10.5.7 . (Question: Is it possible for me to find out when each computer was updated to 10.5.7? Could that be the problem?? Or another of the common applications; e.g, I have the same version of Microsoft mac Office on both).
Guys, I haven't been able to hotsynch with EITHER computer for two weeks now - which for my lifestyle is unacceptable. "Help me, Obi- wan; you're......."
Standing by.....

My Treo is a 700p. It is my third Treo, maybe my 10th Palm device in ten years.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Reminders Stopped Synching

Last week I noticed that Reminders on my desktop (iMac running Mavericks) is no longer synching up. If I create a remind on my iphone, it no longer shows up on the reminders app on my iMac. Other programs such as Notes, Calendar, Mail, Contacts etc all still work and synch up just fine. I also checked on the web based iCloud, and they all synched up there just fine with what I was entering into my iPhone. Not sure why it's only this one app, and I can seem to see a way to play with any settings.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Ios 5.1 issue - why have the music controls been disabled when iphone is docked?

I just updated my iphone 4s yesterday, and immediately I have a huge problem.
When I dock the phone in my car (using a Denison dock) OR connect it via bluetooth to my car stereo, all of the music controls are locked!
The Music App becomes a white screen with "device connected" written on it, and there is no way for me to play/pause/skip/browse music on the handset.
Even double-clicking the home button, the audio controls are greyed-out and don't function.
I am furious about this, why break something that was working perfectly before? It's not for safety reasons because the iphone is happy for any other app to be used while docked. I use my iphone in the car all the time, and it is utterly USELESS if I can't use the Music app normally.
I have tested with docks at home, and this issue seems to occur only when the connected device can also control the iphone. I need to stress that no car controls can allow easy use of the Music app - it means you have to take the device off the dock to make any changes in what you're listening to.
PLEASE can this go back to the way it was!?

Found another post with a similar issue after upgrading to ios 5 and this worked for him, I might try this tonight and will re-post if it worked for ios 5.1:
1)Connect phone
2)Hightlight your phone on the left side of the iTunes window
3)Click on the music tab towards the top middle of the iTunes window
4)Uncheck "sync music"
5) Click "Apply" down on the bottom right At either this step or the preceding step you might get a
pop up box that says "you have made changes" or something like that, click okay or apply.
6)After this is finished, check to make sure there is no music left on your iPhone by double clicking on your
iPhone in the left hand pane of iTunes and then click on "music" under your iPhone
7)If there is no music on your iPhone, then recheck the "sync music" and then click "apply" down in the
bottom righ.
8)If you have a lot of music it will take hours to sync, but when finished your Dock accesorries should work again.

Why have I stopped getting photostream pictures on my pc

I have iCloud installed on my iPad (5) and iPad (1) and my PC. Everything was working till sometime recently when I noticed I've stopped getting pictures from my PhotoStream copied up to my PC. Between the two IOS devices, no problem. Thanks, Mike

What confuses me is I don't havve or want it on my Laptop. But now that I have an iPhone, do I have to accept updates recreived on my Laptop so iPhone doesn't become outdated.
Okay. You don't have to install Safari on the laptop (in order to keep your phone updated).
Try launching Apple Software Update. Check the Safari entry, and then go "Tools > Ignore Selected Updates".
That should hide it until a new version comes out. If you get shown a new version, repeat the procedure.

HT4898 Why have Apple turned off keychain sync when moving to iCloud?

This was one of the most useful feature I found as I didn't have to remember my passwords when moving from one Apple device to another. I think its pretty daft that this has been dropped! So what to do now ? Any advice?

No one knows here, since we're just users - and no one every reported why Apple did this. There must have been a good reason though. But we'll never know.

Why have my TV shows on my external hard drive disappeared when I've deleted them from my iTunes library?

I am trying to free up space on my internal hard drive (MacBook Air). I copied my iTunes TV shows onto an external hard drive, following all instructions carefully. They were all there on the external drive - I opened a few and they played perfectly. I then went back into iTunes and deleted the shows, then emptied trash. When I went back into my external hard drive, all the TV shows had disappeared! Am now in process (yawn) of downloading the shows again onto my laptop, rather defeating my object of freeing up space. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?

Hello Janeburows,
You might have setup your iTunes in such a way that you store your Media files on your External Hard Drive and if that is the situation then whenever you delete anything permanently from your iTunes on your Computer when the External Drive is connected then the Content will get deleted from your External Hard Drive. To verify the Location for the Media files which you have on iTunes do the following.
Open iTunes > Preferences> Advanced and you will see it under iTunes Media Folder Location

Why have all the songs been deleted when upgraded software

Hi my daughters both have an ipod touch which they got for Christmas. They've both tried to update the software this week and both despite backing up their songs have lost both songs and apps. Why is this and what can we do?

Music, inported videos and some other items are not part of the backup. The get synced from your iTunes library at the conclusion of an update. My guess is that the music were not in their iTunes libraries. For want a backup contains see:
