Why is my iCloud no longer syncing files?

I have noticed over the past several days that my word documents are no longer syncing between my devices, particularly my macbook and macbook air. I've checked for updates, and it presents to be occuring only across word, powerpoint, excel etc and began following the recent power outages on the east coast..I'm sure it is something simple, but....
HELP!

You said your files were "no longer" syncing, from which I infer that they were syncing at some time in the past. My question is what you were using to sync the files when it was working.
As I said earlier, iCloud doesn't do general file syncing. That was a feature of the (now closed) MobileMe subscription service, but Apple chose not to carry it forward into the iCloud service.
There are several other systems on the market for syncing files. DropBox and SugarSync come to mind. DropBox is a lot like what iDisk could have been.

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

  • ICloud no longer syncs with devices.

    iCloud no longer syncs with devices. Error message reads "The certificate for this server is invalid.  You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "setup.icloud.com" which could put your confidential information at risk."  I am not positive if this issue coincides with the update to OS6.0.

    How nice.  Thanks for sharing that with us. Do you have a question you would like to ask?

  • Icloud no longer syncing Outlook calendar on my PC with iphone

    My Outlook calendar on my PC is no ,longer syncing with icloud or with my iphone. This happened since IOS6 update.

    If events added to the calendar on your computer are appearing in iCloud and on your phone, but not the other way around you might want to check your default calendar setting on your phone.  Got to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar...scroll down to the Calendar section and tap Default Calendar.  Here be sure it is still set to your Outlook calendar and not, for example, the calendar under On My iPhone.

  • Why does my Ical no longer sync with my computer?

    When I put a new appointment on my iPhone ICal, it no longer appears in my Computer ICal. I have checked all the settings on my phone, and they are enabled, so I don't know what is going wrong. My computer is also connected to ICloud.  It worked fine before I sent overseas, but has not worked since I have got home.

    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.

  • Why are some iCloud services not syncing with my Mac?

    iCloud seems to be syncing just fine between my iPhone 4S (AT&T 4G) (iOS 5.1.1) and my iPad 2 (Wi-Fi + 3G) (iOS 5.1.1), but not with my MacBook Air (Late 2010) (Mountian Lion 10.8.1). Here's a list of iCould services that I've noticed are and are not working:
    iCloud mail (@me.com) and Gmail syncs and updates on my computer sometimes. (I get that these might be seperate issues. I think I need to change the "port" on one or both – suggestions?).
    Exchange email syncs and updates on my computer most of the time.
    Notes syncs and updates on my computer never.
    Photo Stream has stopped updating and syncing on my computer altogether (worked for the first few weeks and not for the past few weeks).
    iMessage synced with my computer and phone before Mountian Lion released (that is, all incomming iMessages sent to my Apple ID would be recieved at my phone and computer), but I don't think it's worked since.
    iCal, Contacts, and Reminders seem to update and sync on my computer all of the time.
    Because they're all iCloud services I want to think there is a one common problem – which is why I've created only one thread. But because they are not common to all services, I'm guessing it might be a case by case basis.
    Of course I should state all iCloud services are turned on for all devices and computer, and I am using the same Apple ID for them all. Also, all devices/computer are connected to internet via Wi-Fi/4G pretty much all the time. Finally, it's possible there are other issues I've missed—although it seems unlikely since I use them all, all the time)—I think this is a pretty good representation of my problems.
    Thanks for your help!!

    For photo stream, if the source of the photos is an iOS device, be sure the photo app used to take the picture has been turned off, not just sleeping.
    Have you rebooted the computer?  The router?

  • Icloud no longer syncs to PC after ios7 upgrade

    what can I do?  I tried repairing the install of icloud, the "My Photo Stream" folder is empty, no new pictures and no old ones are in the folder any longer.  I have both an iPad 2 and iphone 4 both used to sync instantly before upgrade

    For me, it was the two iOS Photo Streams being out of sync.
    iOS PhotoStreams should always have the same photos on them. Same number exactly.
    The PC saves all of the photos.
    Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
    Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
    Confirmed all the warnings.
    Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
    Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
    iCloud has.
    Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
    Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
    So I'm back in business.
    I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
    My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
    I think I should be able to take my old Photo Stream on the PC and copy them into the iCloud Upload folder.
    That should get them everywhere.

  • Why will video podcasts no longer sync to my ipod?

    I used to be able to watch video podcasts on my iPod nano (5th generation).  Then, one day it stopped syncing them to the iPod.  I think an error message came up saying that my iPod didn't support the videos anymore (something about HD).  I assumed that the video podcast had switched to a higher definition podcast, but the video quality appears to be the same when I play them on my computer.  What's more confusing is that when I check which podcasts are being synced, the video podcasts still say they are being added to the device, but they never show up.  Furthermore, I try draging the file manually to the iPod, but nothing happens (not even an error message saying I can't copy that file to the device).

    I think so.  I'm pretty sure I've updated 2 versions of iTunes since it stopped working.  I don't remember if one of those updates was right when it stopped working or not.

  • Can someone tell me why Photoshop CS5 will no longer save files a jpeg

    When I flatten and save image as jpg it results in a file theat I can no longer open with any program. When I try to open it I get "it's not the right kind of document" popup. I may have downloaded some extensions that I shouldn't have - can someone help me? I tried looking for setting defaults as well but can't find that either. Thanks

    We don't know anything about your system, but yes, removing potentialyl incompatible plug-ins and extensions would be a start.

  • Why do my playlists no longer sync reliably with iPhone?

    Having used iTunes and various devices without difficulty for 8 years, I've only now encountered playlist syncing problems between iTunes and my iPhone 5. Random songs are missing from random playlists. The songs are transferred to the device but do not appear in the playlist. When they are manually added in the device, they dissappear at the next sync.

    I am having a similar problem; only with the last few syncs to my iphone 5S (lastest iOS version) with 11.1.4 version of iTunes on MacBook Pro.
    The problem seems with small playlists where I have downloaded 1 song on my iphone and the other on my MacBook Pro - only the song downloaded to the MacBook will sync with iphone 5S - the one downloaded to my phone transfers to music library but won't sync back to iphone from playlist created on MacBook.
    But, an album I downloaded to Mac and added to a playlist synced with iphone first attempt = no hassles.

  • After my ipad WIFI upgraded to 5.0.1, I can no longer sync with my PC?

    Recently, the new wireless upgrade worked wonderfully.  My ipad is correctly upgraded as of 11/13/11.  For the life of me, I can't figure out why my ipad will no longer sync with Itunes.  I realize that iCloud enables me to push various backups wirelessly, but I still want to sync with my iTunes in order to add playlists and content that will not reside on the cloud.
    When I say that it will no longer sync with itunes, I mean that I cannot get either an iPad or iPod Touch to show as being connected or synced with any number of apple USB cables conntected to my PC and iTunes.  Hard resets, computer reboots...since my upgrade, I can no longer connect these devices.  Can anyone tell me why I can't sync?
    Thank you in advance

    Minor update:  I have multiple PC's in my office.  This same iPad and other apple devices properly work and sync with their connection to this other computer.  Both computers are running the 64bit iTunes and both have Windows 7 64bit OS running on both machines.  I tried deactivating firewalls and even deleted the iTunes with a fresh installation with no avail.
    Something is keeping my Apple mobile devices (iPods, iPads) from being recognized within iTunes.  However, they all are properly recognized by my PC.

  • HT201317 My photos are syncing from my iPhone, to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but it is no longer syncing to my computer (Microsoft, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?

    My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?  I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel.  I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes.  I have reset my photo stream.  Not sure what else to try...   I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa.  Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not.   Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

  • My Audible Enhaunced files no longer sync to my IPad2 since IOS 5

    Anyone else have this issue: My Audible Enhaunced files no longer sync to my IPad2 since IOS 5
    At first i could not get any new Audiobooks to sync but when I separated one of the MP3 Audiobook version files from the enhaunced Audible ones it synced  the MP3 audio book fine
    I am running Itunes 10.5 on Mac OS Lion 10.7.2 and my Ipad2 has IOS 5
    I am syncing via itunes on my iMac via a cable as usual
    I can play my Audible files in Itunes, so my Audible Account is authorized.
    I did not notice this at first as i was listening to a series and the current book i just finished was MP3 but the next was Audible ( the reason for this because of region issues aome books are not available in Australia as Audible but Amazon sells the MP3 version sometimes. so whilst most of my Audiobooks are Audible some are MP3 or CD depending on what I could get.
    when i tried to sync it took a long time but no installing tracks was being listed.
    to cut a long story short i wiped the Ipad2 and started to reinstall first the Apps then the music and movies and latly the Audiobooks . . .
    When i reach the Audio books the problems started again so i tried an MP3 audio book on its own tried to add a Audible file and the sync went into limbo again.
    Apples IOS has obviously broken the ability to sync Audible books I had no issues before this and i know the files are ok i listen to a few to check.
    It obviously has something to do with Audibles enhaunced format / Audible authorization which worked fine until IOS 5

    Update to the Audible sync issue:
    I have been in contact with Audible and reported to Apple on this issue
    So far many email replies from Audible . . . zero from Apple . . .
    Below is Audibles reply
    Dear Kelvin,
    Thank you for all your information regarding the iPad since the Mac iOS update.
    There are many iPad specific issues that have been caused by the iOS5 update. At this time, we are awaiting for Apple to resolve these issues. Apple has told us this issue will be resolved by the next update, although, this release date is still unknown. In the meantime, you will need to transfer your titles via the Audible application. I do apologize for this inconvenience.
    I thank you for your patience during this time of inconvenience!
    Sincerely,
    Monica V.
    Audible Customer Support
    So in short if you have installed IOS5 and wish to transfer your Audible files to a device ( i assume this issue is not iPad 2 specific) you will have to wait on Apple to fix this issue which according to some developer post they were aware of during beta.   Eg you cant sync Audible books to you device via iTunes.
    You will have to re-download/download any books you want to listen direct too the Audible App. on your device until Apple gets around to fixing this issue.
    If you have to updated and want to sync to your computer i suggest you DON'T INSTALL IOS5 UNTIL APPLE UPDATES IT
    Hope this helps
    I know it's not a fix only Apple can do that . . . and it's an Audible issue which is not there product . . . . they just have a relationship with Audible. . .
    Apple probably hopes people will buy their overpriced Audio books . . .
    I have never under stood why anyone would when you can save at least 1/2 the cost and have a bigger selection available to you on Audible
    Nuff Said
    PS i know i spelt enhanced wrong on my first post but i don't think Apple allows editing of posts
