Hi
Re: ios 9 public beta.

I made the mistake of not doing an itunes backup before upgrading to ios9.
I know I'm silly but I've not used iTunes for years and I thought an icloud backup would be okay.

So I have three devices-

iphone 6 running ios 9 public beta
ipad mini running ios 9 public beta
mac book pro early '15 up-to-date Yosemite

iphone 6- calendar, contacts, reminders wont sync and are now empty- notes do sync
iPad mini- calendar, contacts, reminders & notes will sync
mac book pro- calendar, contacts & reminders will sync- notes wont
msecure will sync on both ipad & iphone
(All this is via icloud) I have checked www.icloud.com account.

photos backed up to amazon drive

ipad and iphone backups now done to itunes

Problems backing up and deleting and iphone backups to iCloud.

I have tried the standard switching off & on accounts etc and soft reset devices.

My question is am I best just waiting till ios9 is released and will this cure all the problems so all three devices are in sync?

I would really appreciate anyones advice on the best way forward.

Thanks

Ps
I upgraded to ios 9 because support said I had a software issue and I thought ios 9 would solve it. (My apple watch was not working correctly on my wifi network- this I solved with two airport expresses so that okay now.)

Pps
I noticed that my iphone hadn't backed up before installing ios 9 (for about a week) which coinsides with getting an apple watch. Is there a way of being allerted if a 'i device' fails to backup? I charge my apple watch and iphone every night. I think I'll be doing a regular archived itunes back up as well
thanks in advance
