icloud sync

I'm suffering from an iCloud sync issue on my Mac. Finder regularly reports that it's downloading an item, which never completes. iCloud in Finder shows all items are synched except the ‘Searching “This Mac”. I'm trying to work through the logic and I'm wondering if anyone else had issues with...

I've been beating my head against the wall for years on this. My apologies if this is "beating a dead horse" subject. I've flushed my 3000 contacts from iCloud about 10 times over the years. And even in 2023 just cannot seem to find a solution for bi-directional syncing of contacts between...

I am thrilled to have my new Mac Studio! That said, I cannot get my old MacBook Air (m1) to sync desktop and document folders. I click the button and it just slides back to the off position. Things I've tried: Reinstalled Mac OS...no change Signed out of iCloud and signed in...no change...

I share a calendar with my family to manage all the different appointments we have, and often enter data for other family members to help manage everyones schedule. I'll add an event and select alerts and travel times, and they show correctly on my calendar. When I look at the devices of other...

I thought Apple had gotten this problem fixed, but it's back, at least for me. I just bought a new MBA, and cannot get my text replacement snippets to sync to it. They look fine on my iPhone and MBP, and additions/deletions sync instantly between those two devices. But nothing will get to my...

So, I had "Store in iCloud" turned on under Storage Management earlier, but not sure how that got turned off and now that my mac is struggling for storage I was looking around in the settings and realised it got turned off somehow. So I turned it back on, but now iCloud has created a duplicate...

My iPhone 8 is no longer updating. My laptop, desktop, and iPad are all connected to the internet, and my iPhone shows WiFi connection. My laptop and desktop are syncing properly. When phone is connected to laptop for manual syncing, I get the "internal device error" message. On the phone...

The somewhat recent icloud message sync feature seems to be buggy and confusing. How come when I go to icloud settings and attempt to turn off messages it tells me "messages have not been fully downloaded to this iphone" every single time. Every Single Time. What does that exactly mean? Because...

Just got back from being off grid for 2 weeks and it seems not all my messages have been synced from my iphone to Messages on my mac. I signed out and restarted a couple times and also hit "sync now" a few times and it seems I was able to get a few more messages to show up on my mac, but it is...

For some reason, when I create a voice memo on my Macbook, it shows up on my iPhone but NOT the other way around. iCloud Sync for Voice Memos is checked on both devices. I have a lot of older Voice Memos on my iPhone which are not syncing to my Macbook either, which is a drag. Does anybody have...

Hi people, I would like to install public beta of iOS 12 on my devices and I want to be 100% sure, that it won’t break iCloud sync when I possibly downgrade back to iOS 11. Last year iOS 11 broke Safari Bookmarks sync on older iOS and that sucked. So can anyone confirm that everything works...

Just got myself a new iPhone X, and it is hell of an upgrade, but... I have spent almost 3 hours trying to get the photo library from my old iPhone to sync with the new one, but it won't, and to be honest, it is pissing me off. I am doing everything that I am supposed to do, I even installed...

How is this working for everyone? When looking in iCloud storage - do you see Health data synced? My wife's iCloud: when looking at iCloud storage - Health data shows up; as well as iCloud Drive My iCloud: when looking at iCloud storage - Health data does not show up. No visual proof Health is...

Nice, helpful guy from Apple Support tried to help me with a problem that recently showed up where Notes on Yosemite/OSX 10.10.5 no longer syncs to iCloud. Calendars still does, however (as does Notes on my iPhone 5s iOS10.1.1). My settings are correct as far as we could determine. Something...

This topic might be not new, but after trying everything possible I need your help. Maybe there's a solution I did not consider yet. I had a chat with Apple, which at the end was not really helpful: I received an e-mail, which main message sounds like "I can't help you." Apple suggested I...
