Keyboard Shortcuts do not sync anymore (iCloud, OSX 10.9.5 & iOS 8)

BlackHawk1807,

I also have the same issue. I'm on a DP of Yosemite and they don't sync there either. I'll post back if I find any info.

Thanks,

Same here. iOS 8 on several devices and Yosemite DP. iCloud drive enabled.

Pretty annoying, as all of my existing shortcuts have disappeared on some devices.

HEre too, my ipad ios8 still has them as well as imac, iphone lost them. Angry as ****, 20+

Exactly the same over here. Worked perfectly before iOS 8.

Same with me. Would like to know if Apple is now aware of this bug and if it will take the release of Yosemite to fix it.

My keyboard shortcuts are back after updating to 8.0.2. Perhaps it was one of the bug fixes. Thanks!

I switched my iPhone off and on again (thank god for theIT-croud 😝) and the shortcuts worked again. So if you didn't try that one...

They are back on my devices as well. But they don't seem to be syncing. 😟

At least they are on all my devices now. I don't make changes to them all that often, so I consider it an improvement! 😊

Keyboard Shortcuts (iOS 8) intermittent? coming and going?

More reports, symptoms, workarounds, and lots of discussion . . .

I was having the same "coming & going" problem with keyboard shortcuts after updating my iPhone 5S and iPad Air to iOS 8. I tried everything in this and other threads including restoring the devices. The only thing that worked for me was upgrading to iCloud Drive on my iOS devices. After doing so, my shortcuts are back and work perfectly.

You are one of the lucky ones!

My keyboard shortcuts were disappearing and reappearing, daily or hourly, about 50% reliable since iOS 8 update. Then did the 8.0.2 update and enabled iCloud Drive.

Since then, nothing. no shortcuts working at all on iPad Air. They show up in Settings.. General.. Keyboard.. Shortcuts.. but they do not work at all. Rebooted every day, three days now, no joy. Keyboard Shortcut function on my iPad Air is broken.

My shortcuts on my iPhone have stopped working reliably since updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 and also on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8, iOS 8.0.1, and iOS 8.0.2. The same thing happened with iOS 6. My comments about the problems with keyboard shortcuts on iOS 6 are still on these boards. Restarting my phone makes them come back for a short time but they eventually stop working again. I'm not sure why this is happening again with iOS 8 but it is pretty annoying. Maybe the next update will solve it.

Hi. I have also been facing this problem lately of iCloud not syncing my shortcuts I created on my iPhone with my Macbook Pro. At first, I've discovered that after some time (around 2-3 days) all the shortcuts on my iPhone (after I upgraded to iOS 8) went missing and the simple trick I always do is just to restart my iPhone and they'll all be back to my iPhone and it's all normal again. But, the new problem I'm facing right now is that all the shortcuts that I used to use regularly on my Macbook Pro (OS X Mavericks) are all now gone missing and I don't know how to get them back. They all went missing after I upgraded to OS X Yosemite 2 days ago. I've tried upgrading to iCloud Drive, since I couldn't even find "Documents and Data" option in the iCloud section in System Preferences, but it's not solving anything. Please help!
