Family Sharing Calendar not "sharing" events among family members

Hi,
I'm hoping someone has a similar issue and can shed some light.
I've setup a Family with myself as the organizer.
We have 2 iMacs, 1 MacBook Pro, 3 iPhones, and 3 iPads used by my three family members.
The "Family" calendar now shows up on all devices but events made on a single device are not showing on any of the other devices.
I've read all I can find and it appears to me that the "Family" shared calendar should sync across all family members without the need to "share" the calendar as we did in the past.
Can anyone confirm that is the case?
As a quick fix I simply "shared" the Family calendar (using email address's of the family members) and it is working, but this is essentially the same way we used to share a calendar. Just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Jim

I am having the same problem. I have done some testing and have found the following:
If I create an event in the Family Calendar on my Mac it shares it with all devices; however, if I create a new event in the Family Calendar on any of my iOS devices it doesn't share with any of my devices including my Mac. This has only been an issue since I upgraded to iOS 8.1.
I hope someone can help clarify if this truly is an iOS 8.1 issue and when they might come out with another update. This is a big problem for families trying to stay up-to-date with each others schedules.
Thanks.

ICal Calendar NOT displaying events? I found a simple fix

Hi there,
Many of us are having our iCal events disappear. I have seen this problem a number of times after the mobile me iCal update.
After trying many of the suggestions found in this forum, here is what I accidentally discovered that worked for me....
1) Select the calendar (that is not displaying events) from the list of calendars in the left column of iCal.
2) Double-click (on any day in month view) in the calendar to create a new event.
3) Delete the new event.
After I did this, iCal started churning for a few seconds, then all of the events from that calendar appeared.
Good luck,
Matt

In fact the days at the top are not matching the days of the meetings. (I know when the meeting are - and they show up fine on my iPod)

Calendar not showing events in spesific views

Some of the iOS users in my organization reported back to me that calender events that covers more than 1 Day only shows the event on the first day. (except on whole day events) while using the Month or Year view.
This bug is verifed on serveral iPads running the last iOS software(inkluding my own). I have tested both with our Exchange and iCloud calendar.
Example: One event starts 9am monday and ends 4pm on friday.
Both week and year Calender view will only show the event on monday, but no event thirsday to friday.
Is this a known bug?

Melanie,
I would suggest two things, one small and one bigger.
1st, try quitting iCal, then deleting iCal preferences in your User Library: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
If that doesn't solve the problem, Back up Database (File menu). Export each calendar. Delete each calendar. Then import the ones you exported.
Note: Actually iCal won't let you delete all of them (it has to have at least one) so just rename one so you can delete it later.

Why does my calendar not sync events created on my iphone

When I create an event on my iPhone 4 and then sync it to my MacBook, the event is not showing up in iCal. I have "Sync all Calendars" checked in iTunes under info when my phone is connected. This problem just started after I installed Snow Leopard.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    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).
    2.    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.
    3.    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.

Good afternoon all, I use my iPad 2 calendar like a diary and it is perfict as I travel globaly for work, how do I transfer the calendar notes and events out to use in reports etc?

Good afternoon all
I travel globaly for my work and use the iPad calendar as my diary and it is perfect as it has the times things are done how long was spent on each thing and notes regarding contents and outcomes of meetings.
The down side is I cant just send this information to myself to cut and paste into reports etc. I have to read off my iPad and retype it into my report document.
Is there a way arround this without changing to a diferent program as the calender is great apart form that.

Why can you not copy from calendar and paste into report? Is the
report being done on the iPad? If yes, what is the problem with cut
and paste? If no, can you sync the calendar to the same computer/device
as the report and then cut and paste there?
What am I missing?

Calendar not saving events

I've been entering events into my calendar and right after I enter them, it shows the event, then it disappears...then a pause and the event is back for a second...then the event is gone again, for good. I reset my phone yesterday and downloaded the new 3.1, so I'm assuming that might have something to do with it. I tried turning the phone off and still no change. Everything else seems to be working properly.

Can you reproduce the problem? Is there an error message?

Ios6 calendar not showing event indicator

After upgrading to io6 my calendars app has gone a little mad. Normally when there is an event on a day there is a small black dot below the date to indicate the event. However after the update the events are still there but no indicators. Really difficult to see which dates I have free and which are full.
Any ideas?
Yal

I am having issues with calendar as well, except after loading IOS 6 I have lost all my data before the middle of August. I am quite frustrated as those entries were important references. I have tried syncing with my desktop iTunes and fiddled with settings etc. to no avail. I sure hope there is a fix for this!

Family sharing calendar not created

i have set up Family Sharing for two family members and myself. They accepted my invitatioms and everything appears to be working properly, but a shared calendar wasn't created 'automatically' as promised. The shard photo album was created and I have already approved two app purchases for my son, but am not sure what to do about the calendar. Any help would be appreciated.

I had this problem but my iCloud calendars were turned on.
Tried lots of stuff but finally powered down and restarted the device and it showed up just fine.
Keep Calm
and
Reboot

I have shared my icalendars with family members via icloud and now my calendar on my computer has been stuck saying "Moving calendars to server account" for literally 5 days. What do I do?

Hi, Confused As Always CB.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Hopefully I can help resolve this issue for you. Try removing the preference to sync calendar events in iCloud preferences. Once this is down enable the preference again and see if this resolves the issue.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
If the issue persists, try all remaining steps in the article below.

Family Sharing not showing Organizer's Purchases for other family members

I have enabled Family Sharing on my device as the Organizer and added my wife's Apple ID to my list of family members. She has accepted the invitation on her end and we both see each other in the Family Sharing list within Settings->iCloud->Family Sharing. If I go to the App Store (remember, I'm the organizer), and I choose Updates->Purchased->Family Purchases (choosing my wife's Apple ID) I can see all the apps she's purchased. It won't work the other way around, though. If she goes to the App Store and tries to view my purchases, she gets a blank screen.
I have already checked to see if I'm hiding purchases, I'm not. In Settings->iCloud->Family Sharing->Me, I have Share My Purchases enabled. I've signed in and out of iCloud, and she's done the same. I've confirmed my Apple ID, and she's done the same. We can't figure it out. Why in the world is she a part of the Family Sharing group, but we can't get it so she can view my purchased apps?

I have the same issue. I can see my wife's purchases but on her phone, it says that I have no purchases. I also tried If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support and disabling family sharing and re-inviting her. I would also like to know how to fix this.

My recent browsing session on my iPad was mirrored or continued on my iPhone and another family members iPhone that is linked to my iCloud account. Was not tab sharing. Is this normal?

My recent iPad web browsing session was mirrored/continued on my iPhone and family members iphone. All share my icloud account but the safari tab in iCloud settings was turned off. This was not tab sharing. Is this normal? Anyone else encounter this?

Go to Settings>Mail, etc.>iCloud and delete the account. Then add in a new account with the details you want.

Family sharing not showing other family members' purchases

I installed Family Sharing about a week ago. It worked great, and everyone was able to download music (didn't try apps). Now not listing any family members under Purchased in iTunes (whether on Mac or iOS). Same for other family members. In app store, I see other family members listed, but, if I click on it, it says they have no purchases (clearly not true). Tried all hints at If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support with no luck. Also, fully disabled family sharing and then re-invited everyone, but still no luck. Any idea how to correct this issue?

Sharing Music among family members

I want to know if there is a way to share music among family members, other than the share music function in preferences, who use the same Mac but signed in under different accounts?
My wife, daughter, and my self have different user accounts set up on the same Mac. I would like us all to share the same Music Library in order to save harddrive space. As it is now we each have a different library, which we can listen to music with the sharing function in preference. But I want one common Library that we can all access all our music through our individual accounts and be able to add music to each of our iPods though our accounts. I hope I made my self clear enough.
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

John hello,
to add a bit more to what macmenno has told you... here is an interesting variation that gives you great freedom of choice but still only one data library base....
