Hi Graham, firstly, thank you for a brilliant App I’ve been using it for years & it helps me keep things in order- I’d be lost (or broke!) without it! I have updated to ios 8 & migrated to the cloud drive but can’t get any of my devices to sync at all. Do you have any advice on how to sync my devices without having to enter transactions separately on each one? Many thanks M
Hi M, iCloudDrive is not supported as it is not compatible with non-iOS 8 devices. Unfortunately once enabled you can’t disable it. Family sync using Dropbox should continue to work, also exchanging backup files. But the latter won’t work between iCloud Drive and previous devices. I am disappointed that Apple have come up with something that is not backwards compatible, and that once enabled there is no going back. 😦
Hi Graham thanks so much for your speedy response it’s so nice to have direct contact with you! All my devices were updated with iOS 8 as soon as it was made available & migrated to the new iCloud drive, so I was hoping that they would sync successfully. I have the facility to backup to both iCloud & Dropbox & I know that I bought an in-app purchase for something but it was so long ago that I’m not not sure what for or if I have the facility for family sync. Is this going to be a permenant situation or will we, at some point, have the same seemless syncing facilities that we’ve been spoilt with up ’til now? It all worked so beautifully before, as soon as I opened the app on any of my devices it automatically prompted a sync & it was done. Thanks ever so much for your reply. Best wishes M
Hi M, if all devices are using iCloud Drive, it might work – I don’t yet know as its difficult for me to test without removing the ability to support everyone else. Eventually it will be supported as it looks a better solution than the current (old) iCloud.
Hi Graham, it’s not syncing across the devices as yet despite all of them running on ios8 & having the cloud update. I’ve tried switching all the devices off & on again in the hope it may magic them into action but to no avail! I’ll keep entering transactions into all of them individually until a solution is found or Apple sort their glitches out! You’re a star thanks for your help & speedy replies- I’ve made a donation for you, apologies it’s only a small one but it’s just to say thanks for your class A support! Best wishes M
Many thanks! I will drop you a note about syncing after my cup of tea 🙂
Hi Graham I had success with restoring the backup from one phone to both additional devices so I’ll keep things in order like that until the automatic syncing gets back on track. Thanks again for your brilliant support, greatly appreciated. Best wishes M 😉
Hi M, I just sent you a mail. Someone else has had success syncing over iCloud Drive, so it should work. Note that all devices need to be running iOS 8 since Apple made this incompatible with previous iOS releases. Give it a try.
Fabulous
It’s working now!!
It definitely wasn’t before as I didn’t have to touch any settings they were all correct it just wasn’t connecting but it is now!
Brilliant news
Thanks a million Graham!
Best wishes M 😉
Hi – I presume it’s something to do with the iCloud change with iPhone 8, but syncing between devices is currently borked. I have my iPad as my primary device, but cannot get my iPhone to correctly sync as secondary, it brings up the dialog box (wait a few minutes until this disappears) having first had a dialog appear on the primary device … but the dialog box on the secondary iPhone never actually disappears (30 minutes and counting).
The iPad has been 8.0 for a few weeks (via a developer preview) but the iPhone was only 8.0 yesterday. Might that be a reason?
Any thoughts?
Hi Chris, is this normal iCloud or iCloud Drive? I doubt the latter will work at all.
I did migrate across to iCloud Drive.
What is the outlook for iCloud Drive – will the sync ever work with that?
Hi, yes eventually. However that is a very restricted solution just now as it only works on iOS 8. It’s not a priority for sure.
Fair enough.
I might have to look at the dropbox sync alternative then.
