iCloud don't sync imessages, contacts

Hello

I had some iphones and macbooks for a long time and always perfectly switched to a newer model with icloud (Time Machine)

recently, something broken my iphone 6, it began to freeze, and because my job requires always be on, I quickly bought a 6 s. I discovered that the problem wasn't in the SW HW, and he was also present on all my backups icloud. So first of all time, I installed a phone like new and activated my icloud account.

Long story short, after a new installation, Icloud has not recovered most of my iMessages. I got to this point, but nothing before.

I've decided I can live with that I have all my messages on my mini ipad and my macbook, so all right.

Then I realized a lot of contacts are missing from my macbook air. They have been removed somehow. This I discovered that a text from my oldest friend, whose number is in Favorites, is not associated with a name on my macbook, but it does on my phone. Around checking on icloud.com, my macbook and my phone, I have foud here are couple hundred contacts that have been deleted to icloud.com, macbook, but they are on the phone.

I then bought a new macbook 12 ". I moved on eveyrthing with Time Machine, and, of course, he has the same problem. He has iMessages to 2014, but lacking in contacts.

Today, I bought a Pro 9.7 "iPad. He got my restore ipad mini. There imessages around 2013, but missing the last two weeks when my ipad mini was not justified to icloud. It also lacks contacts.

As an experiment, I disabled the synchronization of contacts on the iphone icloud and asked to delete the contacts. This erases all the contacts. This means that the phone store these contacts on icloud (not in another box for letters or group), but don't download them. I have back since my icloud backup phone.

so now I have:

MacBook: imessages contacts 2014-today ' today, missing

iPad: marc imessages 2013-2016, lack of contacts

iPhone: imessages February 2016 all contacts so far

I tried:

-turn the imessages market on all devices

-selection and de-selection of imessage e-mail addresses

-turn on synchronization of contacts and power off all the devices

-fusion of contacts with icloud on the phone

-reboot everything and cursing a lot

can anyone suggest something that I have not tried? This is something I have not expeted to apple, I always had the best experience with icloud, and now I'm grabbing around my iDevices for pieces of missing data. Very annoying.

When you configure devices as new imessages will not be restored and it is a normal behavior. While the problem of contacts is left and if you have them on your phone and in icloud.com site, then you just to make sure that your ipad and your mac has icloud contacts enabled and activated in groups.

Your message is quite long and it is good, a detailed description, but it is also difficult to predict if I got what you want and if not, sorry.

    Hello Dulceallison,

    Please ask questions on iCloud and photos after the iOS 10 update here in Apple Support communities. We don't like hearing about questions after each update or upgrade. I am pleased to offer you some things to check to help you with your photos are blurred and alerts that you have received with iCloud.

    The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup to iCloud or iTunes. Use this article to help with this: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Once your data is safe, we need to verify your configuration and ensure iCloud library is enabled and check if you are using the storage optimization feature. Please open this help link: iCloud photo library. There is a section on titled mid-race "save space on the device. He talks about the storage settings optimize. When this option is enabled, you will get in their original, high-resolution images of resolution lower, while iCloud library keeps all your photos and videos. You can check and see what images are stored in iCloud by clicking on this link: icloud.com, sign in using the same Apple ID that is connected on your iPhone. Click on the Photos. If you use iCloud photo library, you will be able to see all your photos. Upstairs in the Center, it allows you to see Moments or Albums, and if you scroll all the way down it will tell you how many photos and videos that you have. Also, some scroll down and try to check a few who appear fuzzy on your iPhone. Icloud.com are also blurred it?

    If you use iCloud photo library, and even if you see lower resolution versions of the photos on your iPhone, they should not be blurred. Make sure that you have made a backup and then please go to settings > iCloud on your iPhone. Turn off the photo library iCloud, wait a minute or two and then turn it back on. It should be re - synchronize your iPhone with iCloud. Check if the images are still unclear. If they are, please fully sign off iCloud on your iPhone. There are options to save contacts on the iPhone, and other documents and other will be deleted form the unit. Don't worry, this information is recorded with iCloud and also saved in the backup. Once all signed, restart your iPhone. This article will help you if you need the steps to restart the appliance: restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Once the device powers turn it back on, go ahead and return to the settings > iCloud. Sign in with the same Apple ID that was signed previously. It may take a few minutes to return all documents, data, photos, contacts, and calendars, but once this is done, go ahead and check your photos. They match the icloud.com images? Are they accuse still blurry on your iPhone only? See if you can isolate a specific set of images, or if all the photos on the iPhone are blurred.

    I hope that steps with deactivation and activation of photos in iCloud or logout and back in iCloud has resolved the issue, but if not, please provide the information for the steps that we have achieved together so far and I'll be more than happy to continue checking of other options to get this working as expected with you. Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

  • iCloud notes stopped sync iOS 5.1.1

    iPad 1 (5.1.1) iCloud notes stopped sync to end July 2016 with the web version of iCloud notes with Win 10... Note the remarks only I use... it's by mistake updated (remember doing this) to iCloud new which is not compatible with iOS 5.1.1... ??? in iPad I have notes as of today - end August 2016 - but in PC until July 27, 2016... Well?

    Hello lsepcyeu,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    If I understand, you are no longer able to sync your notes with iOS 5.1.1 use iCloud.  I'd be happy to help you with this.

    Looks like your iCloud for Windows has been improved.  If this is the case, then it is capable of syncing with notes running on iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan.  Using these operating systems allows the most recent version of Notes to synchronize all of your devices. You can read more about it here:

    Upgrading of your notes with iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan

    You can find out how to upgrade your MacBook Pro to latest OS X here:

    Update of OS X El Capitan

    Once you have updated the OS X, it syncs notes with Windows 10 system.  The iPad 1 is not able to run iOS passed a 5.1.1 so he won't be able to sync with other devices any longer.

    Have a great day!

    If the iPhone requires an Apple ID and password from the previous owner to unlock: then nothing. Return it to where you bought it and demand a refund. The iPhone doesn't help you.

    Otherwise, you will need to explain why you need the previous owner.

  • Problem syncing of Contacts Exchange on 5.0.2

    First of all, I am a true beginner on Android, my motorcycle G 2014 is my first camera (I am a user of Palm since PalmIII and still using a PalmOne Treo 650!) for two weeks!

    Unfortunately, I accepted and installed the OTA Lollipop because I read on it is better 'system restore' and I had problems with the backup restore on an old P700 LG Google what a friend of mine gave me for a quick test before buying the bike G!

    It was my worst decision ever!

    The main problem is with my Exchange account contacts: it looks like the changes made on the phone are not Sync to Exchange.

    I really, really would like to go back to stock firmware (and I'll probably do, I am a student for this on the xda forum).

    Is anyone having problems sync'ing contact with Exchange? Our server is Exchange 2010...

    Ciao

    Giangi

    I can tell you that the cert self-signed compared to a real is not the problem. Who manages SSL encryption only and have no effect with contact sync - if it affects the synchronization of contact, nothing must synchronize.

    Since you have proven that contact sync works with a different exchange account, then something is wrong with the one account. Either:

    1. the account has a corruption and remove and re-add set

    2 lollipop and your version of Exchange do not play well together.

    Remove and add must answer the question.

    Keep us informed.

  • Unable to sync with Contacts iMessage

    I can't sync contacts (apart from several contacts from Facebook at random) to my iMessage on a MacBook Pro. I tried to disconnect and reconnect the login Apple ID for iMessage and contacts will not sync. Logging out and to iCloud did not work either. How can I fix it?

    Also, when I bought this Mac, I managed to send messages to any non-Apple Phone and now I can't. It is now prohibited?

    Hello

    The app must be synchronized with the Contacts app on other devices.

    Which can be defined either your system preferences > iCloud and option Contacts or Internet accounts > the Service of your choice and the possibility of Contacts.

    The results are active, which can be seen in Contacts > Preferences > accounts.

    One must be active and it should be identical to the iPhone.

    You'll notice that in system preferences > iCloud there is nothing on the Messages, FaceTime, iTunes, the App Store, Game Center, and several other places, you can use an identifier to Apple.

    Turning ON and so does nothing for iMessages.

    If...

    The Mac and the iPhone are syncing Contacts, then the visible name remains the same.

    The iPhone is using the same Apple Sync ID iMessages

    The transmission of text (SMS) is set to iPhone Mac should be listed and it should work.

    If the transfer of SMS does not work, you may need to reset it.

    First check if the iPhone is joining your Wifi network is on the same local network as the Mac.
