Problem with iCloud Sync

Hi

I have an iMac running Mavericks, plus an iPhone and an iPad running iOS 8.1 (but the sync problem existed before today's update from 8.0.2).

Earlier today I noticed that my iPad did not update with a password I had amended on the Mac. When I started investigating, I initially followed the advice I found on this forum to get things back syncing correctly:

  • Stop the iOS devices syncing
  • Stop the Mac syncing and choose to delete data
  • Turn everything off and on again
  • Restart the Mac and turn on iCloud syncing
  • Restart the iOS devices

This did not work, so I then uninstalled the iOS software and reinstalled it, just in case, but still no joy, except that I discovered that whether or not I had deleted the iCloud data using the option on the Mac, there was still something there that the iOS devices were seeing when I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and chose to sync with existing data, rather than create a new vault.

Not only that, but they were seeing the same iCloud file, as they both loaded the same number of items (different to the number on the Mac) and I was able to sync data between iPad and iPhone and the Mac did not see the changes. They are living in a parallel universe of out of date information.

Any idea how I can get everything looking at the same file?

  • Macs running Mavericks cannot iCloud sync with iOS devices running iOS 8. You'd need to upgrade the Mac to Yosemite and 1Password 5.

    Thanks!
