    Who has the Notes sync issue?

    I've browsed the forum and it seems some people also have this issue, but I just want to know your opinion about this and if you've solved the issue. Notes do not sync when it's created from the Notes app on both my iPhone and Mac. The existing notes will load just fine but when I make a new...

    iCloud Photo Library - Selfies album not syncing

    I have iCloud Photo Library turned on on my iPhone and iPad, but the Selfies album is not syncing properly. Now I could really care less about the Selfies album, in fact I would delete it if I could, but the fact that it's not syncing, while everything else syncs just fine is bugging me. On my...

    Question about iCloud Push vs Fetch vs Manual

    I've recently enabled iCloud for Safari, Notes, Photo Library, etc. and for the most part, it seems to be working well. However, say for example that I write a note on my iPad and it gets saved to iCloud, when I open up the notes app on my iPhone it takes a few seconds for the note to download...

    Notes not syncing across devices

    iOS 10.1.1 iPad Air (cellular) & iPhone 6s+ I make notes in the Apple Notes app on my iPad, and they don't show up on my phone, even days later. I have all iCloud options turned on, on both devices. What am I doing wrong? On the same devices, Google Keep syncs almost instantaneously.

    sync Safari passwords via LAN instead of icloud?

    Is there any sort of fairly easy solution to sync Safari passwords between Macs's that is purely local rather than going through iCloud? I guess a third party password manager like 1Password might be able to do this, but ideally I'm looking to keep using the native Safari auto-fill. This is...

    iPhone 7 music not matching my iTunes Library

    I recently set up my new iPhone 7 Plus and synced it through my computer. When it got to the music portion, it synced my playlists, but it didn't download any of the songs.

    iCloud Photo Library messing with iTunes photo sync

    I'm having an issue with iCloud library talking to my iOS devices. I don't know when things changed, but I am running 10.0.2 on my iPhone and 10.1 beta on my iPad. My Mac is running Sierra. I have had my photos on iCloud Photo Library for 6+ months. When I first started to use it, I remember...

    Microsoft Sync Issues with iPhone 7 Plus

    It occasionally skips and randomly goes to 3x speed for a few seconds like it's trying to catch up from the skipping. It seems to be related to when I try to use the phone for anything else at the same time. Like maps, scrolling through my playlists, etc. My wild and extravagant hypothesis: The...

    iOS 10 Photos: do Memories sync across devices?

    I had the public beta running on my iPad, now installed the release version on my iPhone. I have the impression that the Memories which had been created on my iPad have been synced to my iPhone, although my earlier understanding was that People and Memories didn't sync across iCloud. Does...

    Cannot sync phone to iTunes, unauthorized?

    Hello all, I am currently running the latest beta on my iPhone, and my iPad. The iPad has acted fine throughout with syncing and such, but my iPhone has not. It will not get past the third step of ‘determining which apps to sync’ and then it will quit with the un-authorized message. I am a...

    Exclude document files from iCloud sync?

    Hi I turned on the new iCloud sync, so my Document folder is synced to iCloud. How do I exclude files and folders - is that possible? Right now MacOS is syncing my dropbox files to iCloud because they are stored in the Document folder. I want to exclude folders like this. Thanks.

    I just got a new Mac. I opened iTunes, connected my iPhone and thought it would sync the music from my iPhone to the iTunes library, but alas it did not. I've looked up how to do it and tried a programme called iTransfer, but nothing worked. It's weird because in the past, any new music on my...
