Troubleshooting

If projects aren’t syncing

Frames syncs your projects, Groups and presets with iCloud automatically. If something isn’t showing up on another device, check these.

#Check when Frames last synced

Open Settings in Frames and look below the About section:

  • Last sync, with a time: Sync is working. New changes can take a few moments to arrive.
  • Not yet synced with iCloud: Frames hasn’t completed a sync yet. Keep Frames open for a moment with an internet connection.
  • Not synced. iCloud is unavailable on this device: Frames can’t reach iCloud. Check the settings below.

#Check iCloud on each device

On every device:

  1. Make sure you’re signed in to the same Apple Account.

  2. Make sure iCloud Drive is turned on.

  3. Make sure Frames is allowed to use iCloud. On iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud. On Mac, go to System Settings > [your name] > iCloud.

  4. Make sure your iCloud storage isn’t full.

#Give it a moment

Projects sync in the background. Open Frames on both devices, with a connection, and wait a little. A large library can take longer the first time.

#Some things don’t sync

Screen recording video, settings, and your last-used look stay on each device. See What syncs and what doesn’t.
