Does calendar app need to be open for iCloud sync?

Hi @all,
I was just wondering the following about the sync function with iCloud: When I add a new calendar entry on my MacBook will it be pushed automatically to my iPhone from the cloud without having the actual calendar app open on the iPhone? I am asking because I am not frequently connected to a data network so what happens with this new entry in my calendar? Let's say I connect to a data network but don't open the calendar app. I leave the data network connection open for a while and then close it. After closing the data network connection I open the calendar app but the new entry does not appear. Will the new entry be synced to my iPhone only when I open the calendar app and only when I am connected to a data network at the same time?
Thanks
Martin

Define background.  Do you mean the app open but minimized or app is actually not open.  I have photos in my dock for quick access.  It is closed and does not have the dot underneath showing it is open but minimized.  If the app is completely closed is iCloud working in the background upload/downloading photos?

  • Does EVERY app need to remain open?!

    Multitasking can be pretty cool on the iPhone - but is there any way to close an app completely rather then be forced to have EVERY app remain open?
    For example, I may check a text message.
    I press the home button to exit, but then need to click the home button twice to actually close the app from the multitasking bar.
    Why cant I just close the app for good?
    Would it be that difficult to have an option where you have the choice to either keep the app open, or terminate it completely?!

    Multitasking has been supported with the iPhone since day one, but 3rd party apps could not run in the background until iOS4.
    It is not a multitasking bar. It is a fast app switching and recently used apps bar. All apps - the included apps and 3rd party apps available in the fast app switching and recently used apps bar are not running in the background, so there is no need to be constantly removing apps from the fast app switching and recently used apps bar. Removing the Messages app from the recently used apps bar accomplishes nothing. It does not quit or close the app since the app always remains open in a suspended state for when a new message is received.
    With 3rd party apps, the overwhelming majority of 3rd party apps will continue to be quit when pressing the home button to leave the app since there is no reason or benefit for the majority of 3rd party apps to be running in the background.
    Some 3rd party apps such as a game will be placed in a suspended state when leaving the app so when returning to the game you can begin the game again where you left off instead of having to re-launching the app and beginning the game again from scratch. An app placed in a suspended state is not using any processor cycles or battery since it is suspended - open but not running in the background.
    A few apps - very few apps such as a music streaming app and a GPS navigation app will run in the background when leaving the app.
    Would it be that difficult to have an option where you have the choice to either keep the app open, or terminate it completely?!
    This is up to the 3rd party developer for an app that includes the option to run in the background, which are few and far between.
    This link explains how this works quite well.

  • Does Mail need to be open for emails to appear in Notifications?

    I love the notifications feature in Mavericks, and in particular, I like that incoming emails pop up like in iOS. My question is, does Mail app need to be open for emails to appear in Notifications?

    On the Mac, Mail needs to be open to be notified of incoming Mail. I tend  to leave the app open all the time, just collapsed into the Dock, getting notified by Notification Centre as emails arrive and leaving a red badge on the Mail icon in the Dock if Mail arrived whilst I was away.

  • Does anyone besides me find it odd that calendar.app assigns a start time for an all day event?

    Does anyone besides me find it odd that calendar.app assigns a start time for an all day event?

    Hi SharpBud,
    The date for all day event stored in SQL in GMT time, the start time for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
    This is a confirmed issue, as a workaround, I would suggest you to use a calculate column for the event for the column, using the following format:
    IF(TEXT(([End Time]-[Start Time])-TRUNC(([End Time]-[Start Time]),0),"0.000000000")="0.999305556",IF([Start Time]=ROUND([Start Time],0),[Start Time],DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start
    Time]),DAY([Start Time])+1)),[Start Time])

    => is this a different iCloud account for each device?  I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
    You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data.  If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s).  If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own.  In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own.  Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID.  The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes.  Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.

    => what ID, iTunes?  So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address?  The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
    Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.  In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple.  Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account.  When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process.  If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service.  They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

  • When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser.

    When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser. and worse all the letters appear out of format and unreadable.
    Is there any option that i'm getting wrong
    How can we solve this.
    Usualy we use Google drive documents to share some spreadsheets, but we wanted to share the same document with numbers (that's much better) but it doesn't work as easily as in google drive and doesn't even remotely works how it was supposed.

    When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser. and worse all the letters appear out of format and unreadable.
    Don't know why those letters wouldn't display properly; maybe something to do with their settings at Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Default Encoding or similar setting in whatever browser they are using. But it's really easy for them to download the document via the "wrench" in the Numbers for iCloud menu. Then they can open it in the Numbers app.
    For "real-time" collaboration, I think you all need to be accessing Numbers for iCloud via the browser.

    Either add a credit card or maybe another payment method will work
    or
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • Client need to be opened for what all objects?

    Hi Experts,
    I need to list all the objects for which clients need to opened for customizing/master data download, for ex. when we are downloading condition records we need client to be in open/modifiable state, So what I need now is suggestions based on your experience wherever you feel that cleint needs to be opened for this activity .
    Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Hi Mayank,
    Even I tried for the list of all cross-client download objects in vain. I figured a work around for this and found it helpful.
    To check wether a particular object is downloading cross-client data:
    1) Determine all the tables involved by executing CRM table SMOFTABLES with the adapter object name. (Ex: DNL_CUST_SHIP downloads data from the following tables: TINC, TINCT, TPRIO, TPRIT, TVSB, TVSBT.)
    2) In order to check wether these tables are cross client or not, execute table DD02L in R/3 system with all the tables determined in step 1.
    Ex: DNL_CUST_SHIP
    Table  : DD02L
    Table name----
    Client-specific
    TINC----
    X
    TINCT----
    X
    TPRIO----
    X
    TPRIT----
    X
    TVSB----
    X
    TVSBT----
    X
    This means that none of the tables invloved in DNL_CUST_SHIP download are cross-client and can be downloaded without opening the client.
    If there are any client independent tables involved then we need to open client and perform download.
    Ex. DNL_CUST_CNDALL
    The below mentioned tables are involved in DNL_CUST_CNDALL object download and are cross-client and hence the client needs to be open while downloading the object.

    Just make sure your 9001 port is open.

  • What ports need to be opened for Podcasting?

    To all,
    I am a little lost. We have a server which is inside our firewall. What we're trying to do is to use this server as a test bed for podcasting. Our network admin is going to set it up so that it's behind the firewall but we can still access the content from home or anywhere. Now my question. The admin has asked us what ports need to be opened for podcasting. We have no idea. Is this something we need to setup on the server we are using or is there something else.
    FYI - We are using a Windows NT server...I know, I know, I need to upgrade.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Podcasting is not streaming on content, only downloading. It is basically a blog with an attachment in the RSS feed. Only port 80 (normal web port) needs to be able to go through the firewall.
