OSX Calendar NOT Syncing with iCloud BUT iOS Devices DO

So to set the scene....
I have an early 2009 iMac running Mountain Lion.
I have 2 x iPhone 4's running iOS 5.1.1.
I have 1 x iPad (1st Gen) running iOS 5.1.1
I use to keep mail, contacts and calendar in sync between all the devices using MS Exchange. I recently switched this to iCloud.
All the Calendars I have are all iCloud (so NO local calendars).
Mail syncs without any issue.
Contact syncs without any issue.
Calendar syncs have an issue with iMac syncing to iCloud.
To be clear...the following Calendar syncs DO work:
iPhone #1 --> iCloud
iPhone #2 --> iCloud
iPad --> iCloud
iCloud --> iPhone #1
iCloud --> iPhone #2
iCloud --> iPad
iCloud --> iMac
Whereas the following Calendar sync DOESN'T work:
iMac-->iCloud
What's even stranger is that if I...
Switch off Calendar & Reminder syncing on my iMac (System Preferences)
Close calendar
Wait 5 minutes
Switch back on Calendar & Reminder syncing on my iMac (System Preferences)
Open calendar
...then the iMac-->iCloud syncing WILL work for a few hours. After a few hours it will stop syncing.
Thanks for reading. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Since this post has had no replies, thought I'd comment to see if anyone can answer the above question.  I have the same problem with one exception.  The part that is not syncing is from iCloud to my iMac.  All other sync paths work between my iphone, ipad, and iMac.  If anyone has a fix for this, please share.

    Check the model number by holding down the option/alt key while selecting About this Mac under the Apple menu. Select System Information and it will tell you the model number.  Compare it to:
    Model Number - iMac
    You can then check against the link mende1 provided.
    If you then go with Niel's suggestion, you can check here.
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    You also might want to check applications compatibility since neither lion or Mountain Lion support PowerPC applications.

  • Reminders and Calendar not synced with iCloud

    At some point, Reminders and Calendar no longer sync with iCloud. They were working fine when I first installed Mountain Lion (a fresh install on a new drive, not an upgrade with preferences from a previous install), but sometime recently they stoppped syncing. This may or may not have occurred when I updated to 10.8.2; I don't regularly use them, but when I do, I need the info synced.
    Other programs work fine: Contacts, Notes, and Safari all sync with iCloud. I can create/update items on my iPhone, and it's reflected on my Mac, and vice-versa.
    This is frustrating, especially because it was working well at one point. I've tried unchecking/re-checking the "Calendars & Reminders" option in the iCloud system preferences, as well as signing out and back in again. Each time, I've always chosen to delete the data on my Mac.
    I'm out of ideas - short of a full reinstall, which isn't feasible. Has anyone else experienced this and solved it?

    I have developed the same problem.  Calendar and Reminders no longer sync, nor can I enter any new items via iCloud.com.  My iPhone and BusyCal on my MAC no longer sync.  I was tempted to try turning sync off on my MAC but, like you, got the warning that it was deleting all data on my MAC.  So I backed off.
    Using my MAC, I signed onto my wife's iCloud account and experienced no problem; all works as it should.
    I keep sending the error messages to Apple.  So far in the last two days they have not responded.

  • Why after IOS6 Ipad calendar not syncing with Icloud?

    After I upgrade Iphone and Ipad to IOS6, my Ipad calendar doesn't sync with ICloud using exactly same Apple ID. Any sugestions?

    1. Fire up your Mac and connect the iPad.
    2. Open iTunes and confirm that you are NOT syncing via the cable. Change settings as appropriate. When finished, disconnect the iPad and power it down.
    3. Open iCal on the Mac and confirm that the events are correct. Add/delete events as appropriate. Quit from iCal.
    4. Open System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync
    5. Click on "Advanced" and then click on your Mac when it shows up.
    6. Click on "Reset Sync Data"
    7. At the top, Replace: Calendars
    8. Click the right-pointing arrow so that the complete text states: "Replace Calendars on MobileMe with sync info from this computer."
    9. Click "Replace"
    10. You've confirmed that your Mac and MobileMe are set up properly. Now the iPad. Fire up the iPad and go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    11. REMOVE Calendar syncing from the account that's identified by your email address.
    12. Follow the instructions below.

  • HT204150 Contact(s) on my iMac NOT syncing with my other IOS devices.

    I can create/modify/delete a contact via iCloud using Safari on my iMac and/or my iPad and/or my iPhone and all sync fine with each other - including the new Contact showing up in my "Contacts" on my iMac.
    BUT when I create a new Contact on my iMac it does NOT sync with my other devices.
    My iMac is running the latest version of Mountain Lion (10.8.5), my default account on my iMac is iCloud (and also default on my IOS devices).
    Also I cannot delete a contact in my Contact list on my iMac.
    I have tried logging out of iCloud Contacts and logging back in, restarting my iMac etc. nothing I tried fixes my issue!
    HELP!
    Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

    Make sure you are changing contacts in the iCloud account and not On My Mac or someting else, as it is the only accoun that will sync with iCloud.  If you are and you haven't tried, add any missing contacts from your Mac to your contacts on icloud.com, then sign out of your account, then sign back in.  Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in icloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.

  • IOS7 Calendar not syncing with iCloud

    Searched the web but couldn't find a solution to this particular issue:
    I create a new Calendar event on my desktop, it syncs fine to iCloud as I can see it appear at iCloud.com and also on my laptop. But, it doesn't appear on my iPhone 5c running iOS 7.0.3.
    I create a new Calendar event on my iPhone. It doesn't show up at iCloud.com or on my desktop or laptop. So iCloud appears to be syncing properly, just not with the phone. This was all working fine for me before updating to 7.0.3.
    I tried turning off Calendar on the phone under Settings > iCloud. The first time, I elected to Delete the calendars on the phone, but after getting the spinning wheel saying "Turning off Calendars..." for 15 minutes, I haulted the activity by resetting the phone. When it restarted, Calendars was still selected as On in iCloud settings. So I tried a few tests and determined the problem was still happening. Went back to turn Calendars off under iCloud settings, but this time elected to Keep the calendars already on the phone. The spinning wheel of "Turning off Calendars..." has been spinning now for 20 minutes.
    I've checked the usual culprits (all iCloud account settings are proper on all devices, etc.). I would expect that turning off Calendars on the phone and then turning them back on might go a long way toward resolving this issue, but I can't find out for sure if Calendars won't actually ever turn off (still spinning to turn them off a couple of minutes on since I mentioned it above). Anyone ever encounter this?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hey, Apple! 
    Same problem as described above.  My calendars sync fine from my MBP to iPhone & iCloud & iMac. My iMac syncs fine with iCloud & MBP, but my iMac syncs, which appear immediately on iCloud.com, do not load to my phone or iPad, for that matter. 
    So, I turned off Calendars under iCloud, no luck.  But then I did a hard restart of my phone, after resetting iCloud calendars by turning them off, & then, my iMac changes loaded to my phone. 
    Now, I'm just saying that I pay a premium for every Apple product I own, & I've owned Apple since a Mac Classic in 1990, all the way back to 1986 when I worked with a IIe at the office, if you want to count that.  I willingly pay that premium for the hardware, and willingly pay the premium for the services like iCloud & iTunes Match, but the sync services have, from all the way back to iTools, when they were free AND worked, have since been sketchy at best.
    Although not immediately revelent here, I have the same sync issues to Apple TV with iTunes Match, where new playlists do not show up for quite some time. 
    I purchase Apple products & pay for Apple's services and software ONLY because the integrated hardware & software model has worked for me, in the past, but I now work in an environment where my schedule is important, where people rely upon me to get information right.  And this isn't working for me right now. 
    Apple, .Mac just didn't work.  Me.com didn't really work.  And now iCloud? Sorta, but sorta isn't really good enough. 
    Let's get with the program.  People don't buy Apple to figure out workarounds.

  • IPhone 5 calendar not syncing with iCloud

    When I look for Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar I do not have a "Default Calendar" option.
    I have also noticed the iPhone calendar only has one of my four calendars on my iCloud account and will not let me add the others.
    It is not even receiving pushed alerts as it did a few months ago.
    Having no problems with iPad -- just iPhone 5.

    Hello, John!
    I see that you are not having and issue with the syncing between your computer and iCloud.  So we would need to look into the device settings to make sure all settings mirror what is set in the iCloud Control Panel.  I have included a couple articles that will assist you in troubleshooting your iPhone 5.  See the sections in the articles below referring to your iOS devices.

  • Calendar not syncing with iCloud on PC

    The calendar on my iPhone 5 stopped sending appointments to the iCloud.  iTunes says it is syncing with the cloud. The iCloud setting on the phone for calendar is switched on. Notes seem to sync fine. Any suggestions?

    Also make sure you are using the same iCloud account on your PC and your iPhone.  Go to Settings/iCloud on your iPhone and check the account email address.  Then check the iCloud account on your PC.  If you have a Windows PC, click on the iCloud icon in your system tray to see what icloud email account you are logged into.
    I changed the email on my iPhone and. iPad, but forgot to change the email on my PC and my calendars wouldn't sync.  It finally dawned on me that I forgot to change the account on my PC.

  • Numbers Will Not Sync With iCloud On Any Device

    Docs in Pages will sync just fine on any device I use (iMac, iPhone 4s, iPad3) as well as photos, music, etc. But I cannot get Numbers to sync and update on any of them regardless of what wifi or cellular connection I am using. I did have to do a hard restore on my iPad in the last week because the Mail app kept crashing. I did not restore from iCloud since doing so made the Mail app keep crashing. I deleted the Numbers docs on both of my IOS devices hoping that would help, but so far no luck. Anyone have a solution for this?

    Hello Lockjaw43. No Apple here.  We're all fellow users. 
    Where did you get the idea Numbers has no Save As? In File menu just hold down the option key and you'll see it. 
    Calendar sync is different from Documents & Data.  You might want to doublecheck that this is checked:
    AND this is checked (after clicking options):
    And on your iOS devices you also need to turn on sync in two places:
    Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > Numbers
    Settings > Numbers > Use iCloud

  • Calendar does not sync with iCloud

    I have an iPhone 4S with the latest iOS. A month ago I started a brand new iCloud calendar (every other were deleted). It was working fine, when I launched the app, it synced in 2-3 seconds. But a few days ago it does not sync with iCloud, there is the running circle in the upper line and nothing happens. The interesting thing is when I try it with Wi-Fi, it works, albeit really slowly, under one minute. I did not change any setup. Has anybody an idea?

    Hi Firend,
    In my Calendars app, I selected all calendars to be shown. In Settings, Calendars settings are set: New invitation is turned on, Sync is turn all events on, and Calendar Default is set Calendar From My PC.
    It is working well for long time.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • ICloud Calendar will not sync with iCloud

    I am at a complete loss here.  I have my work MBA running Yosemite and connected to my iCloud account.  I also have a personal MBP, iPhone and iPad, all running the latest OS and Patch, all connected to my iCloud account.
    For 98% of it, it works and syncs perfectly.  Except for the calendar on my MBA.  Calendar works and syncs perfectly everywhere else, MBA works perfectly with iMessage, FaceTime, Contacts, Keychain, etc, etc, etc.
    Basic troubleshooting I have performed:
    Rebooted MBA (obviously)
    Attempted to remove calendars from syncing with my iCloud account (unsuccessful) - will not remove calendars.
    Attempted to remove entire iCloud account from MBA (unsuccessful)
    i have signed out everywhere on my MBA, when I go to System Preferences > iCloud and attempt to sign out, it fails.
    When I go to Internet Accounts, iCloud keeps coming back as "INACTIVE" with nothing checked.
    When I go through all the apps, Calendar is the only one that shows the iCloud data (iMessage shows me as signed out, same with App Store, iTunes, FaceTime, Contacts, etc)
    Rebooted MBA multiple times throughout the process, to no avail or difference
    Performed a repair install of Yosemite through the recovery console
    After repair install, iCloud calendars still show up, even though my iCloud account under System Preferences shows me as signed out
    After repair install, signed back into iCloud to see if I could re-sync calendarsiCloud shows me as signed in and Calendars as successfully setup
    Upon launching Calendars, i get the spinning wheel in the top left of my calendar app and new calendar items created on the MBA do not sync with iCloud (website or other connected devices)
    Created new calendar item on other devices as well as iCloud website, calendar item never shows up on MBA
    So, aside from a complete format of the hard drive, can anyone think of any options I haven't tried?  Or some way to completely reset one app (such as Calendar)

    Needed to add some clarification here:
    iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
    Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing
