Q: icloud on iPad differs from icloud.com and on iMac

How do I get the same content on my iPad?

 

I have the latest operating systems on iMac and iPad4.

 

Added a folder (variety of documents, including PDFs) to iCloud on iMac, the same content is reflected on icloud.com, but on my iPad I do not see the same folder (all other content appears to be updated, i.e. Pages, Numbers, etc.).

 

AND when I go to icloud.com on the iPad I only see the screen that shows these options, I do not see any content that I see on my iMac or from my iMac on icloud.com:

  • Set up iCloud on this device
  • Open Find MyiPhone
  • Open Find My Friends

 

Yes, iCloud is set up on my iPad and I am logged in with my Apple ID.

 

I also have more than enough space in iCloud to accommodate what I'm trying to add.

 

Thank you!

iPad, iOS 9.1, iPad4

    Hi reneesl,

     

    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad and iCloud. I'm a bit unclear on the exact process you are following, but based on your description it sounds like you may be using iCloud Drive on your iMac and iCloud.com. If that is the case, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

    Hi brenden,

     

    I was just about to post an update with my solution. But thank you so much for your response.

     

    What fixed my issue was to sign out of iCloud on iPad, despite the scary warnings that iCloud content on iPad would be deleted, I did it anyway.

    • Everything from icloud.com/iCloud folder on iMac is slowly appearing on iPad iCloud
    • It seems so far that only a few photos have not been added back to Photos, so no huge upset there and my Notes have reappeared, so the scary warning wasn't so scary.

     

    Apparently, as I read somewhere else, you can't access icloud.com on iPad, so that's why I wasn't seeing anything there. So, problem is not a problem after all as it's not possible anyway.
