syncing issues between iPad and Mac

I tried syncing Idoceo from my iPad to my Mac after some time the syncing symbol on my Mac stopped spinning and turned green however 11 hours later my iPad sync symbol is still grey and spinning. Should the symbol show on both devices or just on the new device?

turning the sync off and on has helped most of the time!

@Sebastian you shouldn't do that.
Apple has been having issues with iCloud for the last few months and we've been trying to patch it since then.
A new update will soon be available, version 7.2.0 and syncing should work as expected then

I've found that the sync stopped when an update occurred - normally on the Mac app version. I just had to go in to the settings and flick it back on.

for me, the 7.2.0 update has solved all syncing issues! Thanks so much Bert
