Updated ios8 on ipad: new calendar entries do not sync to other Apple devices through iCloud

After  downloading the latest ios8 update, the calendar function on my iPad no longer syncs as it should with my other Apple devices.  Specifically, it will receive calendar entries made on those other devices but I can not make an entry on my iPad show up on the other devices.  How do I fix this? 
Related to this, some of the support community entries suggest logging out of iCloud and then logging back in.  But then I read that what I have to do to do that is to delete my account.  I don't want to do that.  I want to keep everything I have on my iPad- mail, calendar, notes.  I just want the sync function for new calendar entries to work.

Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) on your iPad and make sure it's set to an iCloud calendar.  If it isn't, make this change, then test calendars syncing again.
If your default calendar is set to and iCloud calendar, go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Calendars, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then turn Calendars back on.  Test your calendar and see if it syncs properly now.

    spill water on my Iphone and I want to recover photos on my Ipad The pictures on the Iphone were not shared with other apple devices is it possible get my photos from the iCloud ?

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

  • Some calendar entries do not sync: Windows Vista -- Outlook 2007 -- 3GS

    I have a couple of calender entries that refuse to sync. beween my Windows Vista machine running Outlook 2007 and my iPhone 3GS.
    I bought some airline tickets from USAir and they sent reservation information in an e-mail that I added to outlook. Although the "appointment" looks normal in Outlook it will not sync. I also have one event on the iPhone that won't sync "back" to Outlook.
    So far I have tried:
    * Reseting the sync. history in iTunes
    * Setting the "Replace information on this iPhone" for the Calendar setion.
    * Making an edit in the non-syncing entries so they would show as needing to be synced to the other device.
    None of these things has made the entries sync....
    Any ideas apprecaited....

    Ok after MUCH messing around it appeared that the problem was somewhere in one of my "repeating events". Myself and the Apple guy concluded this after exporting all of my calendar events to a CSV file and then re-importing them. All the events went to the iPhone without issue so the initial diagnosis was data corruption in one of these events causing a sync. failure.
    I was willing to go along with this diagnosis and figure out which event was corrupt since that seemed to be the problem.
    MY ONLY COMPLAINT to Apple at the time was that this condition should have given an error message during sync. - just a "basic" QA check of the sync. would show the number of calender events in Outlook did not match the number of calender events in the iPhone ... apparently this is NOT performed by the iTunes Sync. tool.
    Anyway I deleted ALL recurring events from my calender sync-ed and all was well.
    I started adding back the repeating events to find the "broken" event. This turned out not to be possible as it would "break" in seemingly random places.
    For example I have about 60 annually repeating events (birthdays and anniv.) I added back the first 20 ... it broke. Ah-ha the problem is somewhere in #1 - 20 of 60. So I add just the "last" 40 ... it still breaks... hmmmmmm do I have MULTIPLE "break points"???
    Ok ... so I just start re-adding them manually one at a time ....
    I have a grandfather that was born in 8/28/1915. When I add his birthday to the calendar in Outlook (by entering his birthdate on the details page of his contact record in Outlook) a annually repeating event that repeats forevery starting on 8/28/1915 gets added to the calender. iTunes would NOT sync. this event.
    I deleted it, re-resync-ed, then re-added the birthday and EDITED it to start the repeating event on 8/28/2000. This time a sync. worked OK and the birthday is on my iPhone ... this is very screwy. Again no error messages from iTunes at any time.
    So I do not know what the "metrics" are for valid events, but if something as simple as the one above confuses iTunes I sure could have a lot of "bad" events that are in fact not corrupt.
    So I do not know what the "metrics" are for valid events, but if something as simple as the one above confuses iTunes I sure could have a lot of "bad" events that are in fact not corrupt. There has got to be something weird going on with the way iTunes handles "repeating" events in terms of a "ceiling" as to how many times it can repeat or the total number of repeating events that can be sync-ed or something like that ... that seems to be the only "thread" I can find .... it does not appear to be corrupt data, but perhaps event types that the iTunes/iPhone can not handle???
    Not a happy boy.

  • WiFi on iPad 2 randomly goes out, but WiFi on other Apple devices is fine???

    I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad 2. Randomly, the wifi on my iPad will just disappear. I know it isn't a problem with the wifi shutting on - because it is still working completely fine on my iPhone. If I leave it for a few hours it usually turns back on, but until then, it can't even find the network.
    It's very frustrating, as most of what I do on my iPad I need Internet for - especially since I don't have a computer right now.
    Restarting it, airplane moding it, etc, etc. doesn't help.
    Anyone had this problem and was able to fix it? Thanks :)

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • On all my other apple devices my Icloud works. I have tride the hard reset idea, i have tried to delete my i clod account on he iphone, but nothing works. Why is the not an integrated process apple? How do i change my apple id and password to my new

    Why is the update on Icloud setting not an integrated process Apple desingners! On my apple iphone 5, after new ipdate. My icloud on my iphone askes to back up. It still have my old id an password and I cant change it anywhere. I dont have that email account for a year now , and dont have the password of it. All my other devices shows my new apple Id and password. I cant change it at mannege my apple Id because it is the new one. Itune use the new one, but no, not my iphone. So, what do I do now?

    You have to do the following to get your new Apple/iCloud ID signed onto your device:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is temporary):
    Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and Delete the iCloud account. Use your current Apple ID password when asked. Follow the prompts to delete the account
    3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to your new email address (you may need to verify it again)
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with your new Apple ID. Turn on the options you want sync'd with iCloud, give it a little time to push the info down to your device.

  • Deleted calendar entries are not sync to the serve...

    I'm using a E71 with MfE. The synchronization works fine except when deleting an item of the E71 calendar. The deleted item on the mobile is not deleted on the server. If I delete an item on the server the sync works correctly and the item is deleted also on the E71.
    I'm using as well a Windows Mobile 6 device and there the sync with the server works correctly. Deleted items on the mobile calendar are deleted on the server too. That shows me, that the Exchange-Server is set up correctly.
    Any idea what it could be?
    Thx.

  • IPad 2 not syncing Calendar to other devices through iCloud

    My iPad 2 is not syncing Calendar events to other devices through iCloud
    Devices:  MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2), iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.0), iPad 2 (iOS 6.0)
    iPad 2 Settings: 
       iCloud settings: Calendars 'ON'
       Mail, Contacts, Calendars: Default Calendar:  Calendar; Sync:  All events
       Shared Calendar Events:  'ON'
       Within Calendar App:  Calendars checked:  Home, Calendar
    iPhone 3GS Settings:
       Identical to iPad 2 settings
    MacBook Pro iCloud Calendar: Home and Calendar checked
    I set up the following test event entries for the same date to see what was coming up in each device above:
      1-From iPad:  iPad to iCloud test
       2-From iPhone:  iPhone to iCloud test
       3-From iCloud.com:  iCloud.com to iCloud test
       4-From MacBook Pro:  Launchpad Calendar App to iCloud test
    (The last two entries may be redundant, but I wanted to cover all possibilities.)
    I then I checked the Calendar App for each of the above devices for "events" 1, 2, 3, and 4 above.
    The iPhone Calendar App had "events" 2, 3, and 4
    The MacBook Calendar App through LaunchPad had "events" 2, 3, and 4
    iCloud.com had "events" 2, 3, and 4
    The iPad, however, had "events" 1, 2, 3, and 4
    Only the iPad had all events entered from all devices.  This creates a problem, of course, since I almost always have the iPad with me, and that's where I make additions/changes to Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Reminders. Dependability across the Cloud is pretty important!  What can I do to resolve this?
    N.B., Contacts and Reminders synced successfully across all devices through iCloud.  Notes, on the other hand, showed a different problem.  When I created a "Test from devices" note, the iPad and the iPhone showed the additions to the note from each device, including the MacBook.  The MacBook only showed what had been written from the MacBook.  Hmmmm...
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • My iPhone calendar entries won't sync with my iCal using iTunes

    Hi,
    For some odd reason my iPhone calendar entries will not sync with my iCal using the sync feature in iTunes.
    The syncing of everything else seems to be working just fine but in the last couple of days ~ now the calendars won't sync.
    Entries that I've made in iCal sync alright to my iPhone but not the other way around.....
    Anyone out there got any suggestions???

    First make sure you are entering the events on your phone to your Mac calendar and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone.  If you are, and they still won't sync, try resetting the SyncServices folder on your mac, as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, then try syncing your calendar again.  (If you are prompted when syncing your calendar, choose Merge.)

  • Added calendar in iCal not synced to MobileMe

    I moved a calendar from "On My Mac" to my MobileMe account group, using the export-import method. The new calendar, however, does not sync to MobileMe. I even tried an overwrite (bookmarks, calendars, contacts and keychains) from my Mac to MobileMe but the added calendar still did not appear in MobileMe.
    I quit and relaunched iCal, which started an immediate sync. The new calendar promptly disappeared from iCal and I got a string of error messages (one for each entry in the new calendar, it seems) all ending with
    The server responded with
    “HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict”
    and asking me to either "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server". It didn't seem to matter which one I selected – the error just kept cropping up. Eventually, I gave up and force quit iCal.
    How can I add a new calendar to iCal that will sync with MobileMe?

    Derek,
    I presume that this procedure represents exactly what you have tried to accomplish?
    Import an iCal calendar or event
    If you use iCal and want to add your iCal calendars and events to a MobileMe calendar, you can import them.
    Hide
    To import an iCal calendar:
    Open iCal, and then select the iCal calendar you want to import into your MobileMe calendar.
    Choose File > Export > Export.
    Type a calendar name, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu, and click OK.You can store the exported file anywhere, and you can delete it after you finish importing it.
    Choose File > New Calendar, and then choose a MobileMe calendar (by default, your MobileMe email address).
    Type a calendar name (you can use the same name as the calendar you just exported), and press Return.
    Choose File > Import > Import, select your exported iCal calendar, and then click Import.
    Select the destination MobileMe calendar to which you want to add the imported iCal calendar, and then click OK.
    Quit iCal and go to the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and delete any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the name. Log out/in or restart and reattempt using the exact procedure which I copied from the MobileMe Help page.

  • When I updated by iphone with IOS7, my calendar entries did not follow the icloud.  I am only showing pre set calendar entries for the year?

    When I updated by iphone with IOS7, my calendar entries did not follow the icloud.  I am only showing pre set calendar entries for the year and lost all other calendar entrie and it will not take any new entries.  They show up in my outlook, but not on my iphone, which they did before I updated my software to the new i0s7

    Before syncing, select each calendar on your Mac and back it up by going to File>Export>Export.  If anything goes missing, you can use these to restore your calendars.
    Have you tried simply force closing the calendar app on your iPhone?  To do this, double-tap the home button, locate the calendar app, then swipe up on the image above the app icloud to close it and tap the home bottom.  Then test your calendar again.

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

  • Iphone4 - NEW calendar entries in the PAST delete themselves!!

    I  have an iPhone4 which works well but I have an issue with my calendar.  I have my works Outlook account synced (works well) and my person google email (works well) - where the problem is, is when I enter a new calendar entry for a past event (I may have forgoten to enter when I went to the dentist last), on save it appears as an event for that day in the list, then after about 2 seconds - its gone!  For New events for the future, it works fine!
    Anyone else had this problem? 

    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    In the Calendars section near the bottom see how far back events are set to sync.  That might be your problem.
