Why iCloud on my mac does not sync with my iPhone

Hey Guys/Gals
How come my mac does not sync with my iOS device.... When I send messages from my messages app on my mac it shows on my iPhone aswel... When someone trying to facetime me it will ring both my facetime on my mac and iPhone... Since this morning after the iCloud ****** up... My devices aren't syncing... Need help...

I believe this was stopped in a recent iTunes update to "force" users to sync the calendar on the Mac and the iDevice to iCloud.

Check your settings in System Preferences > iCloud

Your profile suggests you are running 10.6.8 and cannot therefore use iCloud or photostream.

My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4s. My contacts do not show up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on to backup

My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4S. My contacts do not turn up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on in my phone.

Unchecking them won't help, it will only hide them from view. The issue you're running into is that iCloud doesn't sync contacts from non-iCloud accounts like your exchange and Yahoo accounts. In order to sync these with iCloud, you would need to copy them to the iCloud account and then disable contact syncing with these other accounts. (If you didn't disable contacts syncing with these accounts, you would see duplicates of these contacts on your phone -- one from the external account, and one from iCloud.) If you want to do this, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your other accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email before proceeding to step 3.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and confirm that this is set to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Yahoo and your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts. This will remove the contacts from these accounts from your phone.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from these accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. All your contacts should now be in iCloud and be visible on icloud.com.

You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

My iCal does not sync with my iphone . help. it worked fine in mobleme

My iCal does not sync between my iMac and iPhone consistantly. It worked fine with mobleme. Any solutions?

Make sure that your Mac is subscribed to iCloud and is logged on to the calendar, there is no 'sync' in iCloud, whatever MM did is irrelevant.

Mac email not syncing with iPad / iPhone

I am having a problem with Mail on my Mac not syncing up properly, and the problem is with the iPad and iPhone. The mail account is an IMAP account on Godaddy; the problem goes back before Yosemite, but it has taken me quite a while to find out what the problem is, so I'm hoping for a solution.
The problem: I get a new email on my Godaddy account. It appears almost instantly on my iPad and iPhone, but it does not appear on my Mac. But, this doesn't happen all of the time, sometimes I do get the message on my Mac as well. I have worked with Godaddy support, and they had me delete the account from my Mac an recreate it, seemed to work but a couple hours later it broke again.
Diagnosis of problem: Okay, so I started trying to diagnose the problem on my own to see if I can find a repeatable scenario, and I did. Here is what I did and, ultimately, what the cause is:
I logged into GoDaddy's webmail application so I could monitor when email came in, then check to see if it was being picked up on the Mac. Whenever I found one on webmail that did not appear on the Mac I checked my iPad and iPhone, that is when I found out that the mail was appearing on those devices all of the time, without fail.
When a failure occurred I quit Mail on the Mac and restarted it, it alway found the missing mail, even if I had read it on the iPhone and iPad.
With this in hand what I tried was shutting down the WiFi connection on both the iPad and iPhone whenever I was home. What I found was that when the WiFi connection was turned off I never missed a single email on the Mac.
So, next step was to turn the WiFi connection back on for both devices and monitor emails. This is what I found:
If the email was read first on the mobile devices then it never made it to the Mac.
If the email appeared first on the Mac, then it also appeared on both mobile devices.
So, the problem is that if the mobile devices get hold of the email before the Mac gets at it, the Mac never sees the emails unless I quit Mail and restart it. But, if the Mac gets hold of the mail first, it appears on both mobile devices as well
Any Ideas / suggestions? Other than turning off WiFi on the mobile devices every day when I get home .

No, but you can go to your email provider's site and set up forwarding for your current email address to your new one. That would allow not to miss any email while your friends are changing their contact information for you to your new address. I did that with my old ISP POP account when I switched to iCloud email. Just set up forwarding and inform everyone of your new address.

My music does not sync with my iPhone

I just recently bought my first iDevice and i cant sync all of the music i previously had. I added a test video and a song to my library (Options > Add to Library), connected my device (iPhone 4) and selected Sync with iPhone but i cant see any of the media on the iPhone itself, tough it is on iTunes. Thanks

Hello,
Have you look at this page, I think that you have not select any music.
Setting up syncing
Before setting up syncing, download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content. If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or if you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.

My iCal does not sync with my iPhone

I use to be able to get up to date info on both my iPhone and iCal at simultaneously, but now for some reason my iPhone does not get any changes I make in iCal. Help!

I had been reading this thread and many other iPhone and iCal sync problem threads to try to solve my issue. My issue was similar to the OP in that my calendar events on my iPhone were not being sync'd to iCal and also that events created in iCal were not being sync'd to the iPhone. Here's what I tried that didn't work
Backed up iCal, deleted all my calendars, created a fake placeholder calendar and then re-imported/restored my iCal data
Reset "Sync History" using iSync
Some forum poster had said something about how their problem had resolved after they had deleted all (some?) of their subscribed calendars in the iCal sidebar. Well, I had only one subscription calendar and that was a "US Holiday" calendar that I subscribed to almost 2 years ago. Was it through iCalx? I don't recall where I got the URL, but it was something from the Web. In any event, I deleted the susbscribed calendar and tried re-syncing and everything was transferred (phone to calendar and calendar to phone). Also this is only my theory since I also changed one other setting in iTunes. It was the "Don't Sync Events That Are Older Than" setting in iTunes. I changed this setting from "120 days" (an arbitrary number I had created) to another poster's suggestion about making it "10 days." Anyway, I hope this helps someone! I'm so thankful everything's working again.
