iOS 7 not syncing with iCloud anymore

Hi All,

The key thing about this question is that syncing with iCloud worked perfectly until about the 22nd of December.

For example, I have iOS 7 and Note is configured to sync with iCloud. My configuration is as follows:

Settings > iCloud > Account: My iCloud details are entered correctly
Settings > iCloud: Notes is set to ON
Settings > Notes: Default Account is set to my iCloud account
Notes > Accounts: iCloud is selected

New notes sync both ways between my Yosemite MacBook and iCloud.com. Syncing no longer occurs between my iPhone and iCloud (or my Mac via iCloud). The same is true of Calendar and Contacts.

Any suggestions?

Dave

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2, 32GB

You could try turning the syncing off/on test to see if the syncing restarts for your notes and other features. Alternatively, you could turn these options off sign out of iCloud (which doesn't remove any information from the cloud just the device only) and sign back into iCloud and retest the syncing. t've posted some similar instructions below to help:

I've tried the on/off test and that didn't work.

I'm hesitant to sign out of iCloud in case it never re-syncs and I don't get back my Contacts, Calendar and Notes. However, I do recognise that it might be the only possible solution. Perhaps I'll wait for a few more suggestions before I go for that one.

Thanks,

Dave
