When iCloud is enabled, iPhemeris stores horoscope data in iCloud. This allows all your devices (Mac and iOS) to share your horoscopes. A horoscope added or edited on one device will automatically be added or updated on all devices. Using iCloud saves time and provides secure backup.

iPhemeris uses very little iCloud storage for horoscope data and we strongly recommend using it.

To enable it:

  1. Click Yes.
  2. Follow all prompts.
  3. If you are asked to sign into iCloud, please use the same account you use with iPhemeris on your other devices.
  4. Proceed to MacOS System Preferences > iCloud >  iCloud Drive > Options and allow iPhemeris to use iCloud Drive (scroll down in the list if you do not see it).

Once iCloud is properly enabled astrological charts from other devices using iPhemeris will start to appear. This may take a few minutes. If you do not see them, wait 5 minutes then restart iPhemeris.

Trouble Shooting
Please double check the following:

  • Check that iCloud is enabled & also that you have allowed iPhemeris to use iCloud Drive in MacOS System Preferences.
  • If you can’t save charts we have seen users with the following issues:
    • iCloud was enabled but not iCloud Drive.
    • The iCloud storage limit was reached (the solution is delete some of the likely many photos up there or buy more space).
  • If you are not seeing the charts saved on your iOS device, then also check that your iOS device has access to the internet via WIFI or a cellular connection. When using a cellular connection you must also allow cellular data or charts will not sync.

Displayed Planet & Points Preferences

Your settings for which Planets and other Points are displayed in each feature can be shared with iPhemeris on all your other devices via iCloud. Turn ON the setting next to the feature you want to share with all your other devices. Leave OFF the ones you want to only be used on that device.

  • When ON, turning ON or OFF a planet shown on the Ephemeris for example, will turn that planet off in iPhemeris on all your other devices which you also have this setting ON.
  • When OFF on a device, then the settings for which points to display on a Chart for example only effect that device.

This setting can be ON on some devices, and OFF on others. For example, if you wish to share your settings with iPhemeris on only Mac devices turn it ON on your Macs and leave it OFF on your iPhones.
