Calendar: iPhone calendar syncing between Gmail and Yahoo! Apple ID

Having a problem with sharing calendars between two iPhones (5C to 5S).
My wife shares her calendar with a business partner, and they both shared a calendar on their previous iPhones (both 4S).  When they up upgraded their phones to 5 (my wife has a 5C and her business partner has a 5S) and iOS 7, their calendar sharing changed.  Here's a quick description of the issue:
- if my wife (with an @gmail.com Apple ID) creates an event on her phone and invites her friend, her friend (with an @yahoo.ca Apple ID) does not receive the invitation in the calendar inbox, but she receives an email in her yahoo.ca inbox.  If she tries to follow the link in the email to join the event, it opens a safari window and asks her friend to sign in to Google calendar, which never happened prior to the upgrades.  And she can't sign in and join because it's not supposed to be a Google calendar event.  Her not receiving the calendar invitations, and only getting them via email and not being able to add them without signing in to Google calendar is the main issue.  Why is she receiving emails instead of the calendar inbox invitations?
- if my wife's business partner creates an event, it all works fine (my wife gets the invitation, can accept to join, and can see the events in her calendar on her phone.
I've tried several of the fixes for not being able to send and receive calendar invitations, and made sure receiving in-app notifications was turned on in iCloud on my end (currently waiting for business partner to confirm the same).
Prior to the upgrades, there was no issue with sharing.  I'm not sure if it's because all calendar sharing has to go through iCloud, which I am currently setting up on both phones (and may render this post moot).  Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced something similar with the receiving emails and not the inbox notifications.
Thanks!

Are all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud?  If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync.  Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync.  They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.

  • My icloud calendar used to sync between outlook and my iPad.  I updated my iPad and now my calendar will not sinc.

    My icloud calendar used to sync with between my PC and my iPad until I updated the software on my iPad.  Now they are not syncing.  How can I fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community diannebc.
    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.

  • Since updating to IOS7 my calendars are not syncing between iPad and iPhone...

    Any suggestions or advice?  I have entered calendar details and appointments on my iPhone, and they are not on my iPad...  When I look elsewhere (through my work I use Exchange and all are synced) many of my appointments seem to be there twice... though still not on my iPad.  Thanks!

  • Sync between Gmail and e71 via Mail for exchange: ...

    Hey! I've been following the instructions but here's what I get: "Unable to connect to server. Verify your connection settings or try again later". I'm using my Wi-fi connection at home which always work, also to retrive emails from the same device (an e71 by the way). Should I use a carrier connection instead? I would prefer to avoid this since it's too expensive. Thank you in advance, guys, for your tips!

    I think its about time to say Bye to Nokia. I was a Nokia addict, since the past 12 years. 
    But sadly, there are better and fully functional (pun intended) Smartphones in the market, who mean it when they say they deliver 'ALWAYS ON' email to your mobile. Nokia is the last to go for an update to the latest messaging solutions.
    They come up with so many Support and App Websites for the same functionality, that they themselves get confused, what to update and where, and why was it created in the first place. 
    I suppose the cheapest, unbranded and unheard-of mobiles these days can sync email, contacts, calendar, tasks seamlessly to the device, without a third party app in between to do the missed out portion on the Nokia smartphones. That's why they're so popular....
    Seems like, Third Party apps started working on 'HTML emails for E71', months before Nokia decided to make a 'Nokia E71'.
    Its your flagship model, guys, show some respect.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • Calendar and Address will not sync between Desktop and Centro after removing CompanionL​ink Pro

    I did the 14-day trial of CompanionLink Pro software for syncing my ACT! 2010 with my Palm Centro.  When the 14-day trial ended, my Palm Address and Calendar applications ceased syncing between the Palm Desktop and Palm Centro.  I spent 1-1/2 weeks in chat sessions with both CompanionLink tech support and Palm tech support without any success to resolve the problem.  Has anyone experienced this problem, and, if so, how did you resolve it?
    I use the following:
    Palm Desktop by Access ver. 6.2.2
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    Palm HotSync Manager ver. 7.0.2
    Palm Centro
    I have installed and uninstalled both CompanionLink Pro - 14-day trial and the Palm Desktop over a dozen times each.  Also, when I first install the Palm Desktop, the HotSync Manager shows the Palm apps for Calendar, Address, ToDo List, and Memo.  However, when I reboot my computer, those same apps no longer show on the HotSync Manager.
    Thanks for any suggestions you might have for me to try to fix this problem.

    When you uninstalled Palm Desktop did anyone suggest a "clean uninstall" where you pull out the registry keys? Also when you restart your computer what shows under the hotsync manager (If you can list everything that would be very helpful)?

  • Can't sync Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo

    Hi all, I really hope you can help. I have e-mail accounts with Gmail and Yahoo, and I'd really like to set either or both of these up in Apple Mail, primarily so that it will be really quick and easy to send people photos from my iPhoto library.
    I've put in the correct info and I've enabled POP and IMAP in my Gmail settings, but when I try and set up it just says "checking connection to server [email protected]" for ages and doesn't acheive anything. When I did somehow manage to set it up briefly, I tried sending a message and it just dissapeared when I pressed send, didn't appear in my sent mail either in Gmail or in Apple Mail, and was not delivered.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm really frustrated that something that should be so simple could be such a pain - setting up e-mail on my iPhone took seconds and works perfectly! Thanks,
    Malinna

    Hi Malinna,
    Did you follow Google's instruction on how to setup Mail.app and GMail?

  • Photos not syncing between Mac and iPhone since update to Photos on Mac.

    Ever since I updated to Photos on my Late 2013 macbook pro retina, photos are not syncing between it and my iPhone 6. Both are updated to the most recent software update. Photo stream is on. Does anyone have this problem or know a solution?

    You will have to go the the Photos tab in iTunes when you connect the iPhone.  Then reset the photo sync options.  They were reset with the upgrade to use iCloud by default, but you can change the settings back to sync folders, just like before.

    iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.  If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so.  Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.
