iCloud not Syncing Documents/App Data

I got an iPhone 5s this morning, and had previously updated my iPad and iPhone 4S to iOS 7 two days ago. I've noticed today that iCloud seems to not be syncing properly for me. Day One, which uses iCloud for syncing data, perpetually tries to upload from the iOS device but doesn't seem to be reaching the server. Similarly, when I create an entry on one of the two Macs that I sync with iCloud they do not appear on one another. Furthermore, when loading Pages in iOS on the new phone, I don't see any of my documents. I see many of them on the Mac, which I assume are locally cached. I've turned off Document syncing and turned it back on, and have restarted all devices a number of times. Is there anything I can do besides wait for Apple to straighten itself out? Is anyone else having a similar problem?

I've tried everything short of creating a new account. I was about to contact Apple but it seems like that's a useless option if all I'm going to get is "Um... gee that really *****, can't help you. Why don't you just wait and see if it sorts itself out?" People have complained about iCloud for years, but I've been lucky up until this. None of my devices are even seeing my documents in the cloud, Pages, Numbers, Day One, MacFamilyTree etc, but the storage they use is still counting against my total.


I sincerely hope that this is a known issue and they're working on it, as the poster said, because this is really frustrating. I too wish they would at least acknowledge it.

Yes, that's true but I already use a separate iTunes Store account from my regular iCloud account use for syncing documents photo Stream etc. I also have two other iCloud accounts, one which I share between myself and my wife just for contacts and calendars and another which I share with some other family members. You can still leave your current iCloud account as your iTunes Store account. Just delete it from the iCloud section and don't touch the store, iMessages, FaceTime etc. You can use a separate iCloud/Apple ID for every single thing on your device. If you want, you can even delete the 'broken' iCloud account as your main iCloud syncing account but then re-add it in the mail, contacts, and calendars section and just use it for calendars contacts mail etc. Then use the newly created iCloud account as the main syncing account for photo stream, documents, Safari etc.

Some additional info from my ubiqity.log - I hope this helps someone smarter than me to troubleshoot:

I have been having the same issues with my iOS versions of Pages, Keynote and Numbers. they are not syncing to iCloud... I have tried restoring each device as a "new" device and reinstalling the iOS versions of iWork. they'll pull down my already stored cloud copies of my documents but none of the new stuff since iOS 7 will upload to the cloud... they're showing the icon that they're pending upload (little up arrow in the upper right corner of the document).


I tried going to icloud.com from a computer browser (safari on PC, chrome, IE, firefox) and icloud will force log me off if I try clicking on Pages, Keynote or Numbers.


I have the newest retina iPad and and iPhone 4 that I'm having issues on (ordered a 5s, and planning on buying a MBP soon... so don't give me a hard time 🙂 )


is anyone else having this problem still?


thank you!

@CR500.

I'm definitely still having this problem (Clear, Pages and keyboard shortcuts)

You're right about icloud.com. Trying to access Pages just logs me out!


Developers behind the Clear app tweeted:

Been experiencing issues with iCloud over the last couple of days? Give it a try now.  seems to have fixed some issues w/iCloud today —N

But I'm still experiencing iCloud doc/data sync issues.
