Peter i started from scratch with new update on all 3 devices and tried to use iMac as my master with iCloud deleted in imac icloud settings. The Imac just sits there with a message Last Sync: never , it appears it does not engage with iCloud at all , the ipad and iphone do.
Thats the first thing i noticed but this was also the case in the previous version. So in my case imac does not allow you to be a master with icloud.I left it running for ages but still nothing, i only have 20 songs so it should not be slow to react.
I have just deleted the beta on my imac and fresh reinstalled it, i noticed as i opened the program that the icloud sync button was already engaged, now this is wrong as it should be initially off as i dont know what it was set to be a host or master, but on top of that the icloud on imac is still not engaging.
At this time i have used the ipad as master it has created an iclod file with all 20 songs plus 2 folders and the new document so this appears to work correctly, so now i ipad and icloud perfect i will try to pair it with iphone since my imac does not seem to do anything.
The iphone got its database almost instantly but the files themselves have not loaded at all and the sync indicator says that it is done, so iphone comunicates with icloud but does not load the audio files themselves.
INTERESTING!
I went in to the iphone st3 folder deleted all 20 songs went to settings and reconnected with icloud , the 20 songs were downloaded quickly and appeared in st3 folder but my database still showed red missing files were present although all the files were there in st3 folder.As i individually touched the song files the red indicators cleared and all 20 songs now appear to be good to go.So the issue is within st3 red indicator logic.
Back to imac i tried to make it a slave to iclod , again no response, is there a setting on imac to enable disable st3 icloud? Perhaps that setting is off but where is it in imac?
