Apple has aired a new commercial for the iPhone 4S. Simply called “iCloud Harmony,” the 30-second TV spot highlights iCloud’s ability to sync your media and apps between devices. “Automatic. Everywhere. iCloud.”

Unfortunately it’s not entirely automatic. I’ve had issues with their syncs when the apps are not running. The commercial ain’t true to it’s word.
On iCal, I have to open the apps on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone, then make some changes on the Mac and it would sync. When I made a new event on the iPhone, the Mac won’t add the new event until you force quit the app and restart it.
Be that as it may, it actually does show the apps as open so it’s not exactly lying. I’m with you though, I wish things would update without me having to open them.
