Help!  IMac calendar not syncing

Help!  When I enter dates into my Calendar on my desktop they are not syncing with my iphone5s.  Any tips? suggestions?  When I enter an event on my phone it is syncing back to my desktop!

1. Calendars in the On My Mac category, and calendars that sync with other network services such as Google, will not sync with iCloud.
2. Back up all data, then take all the applicable steps in these support articles:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
Nearly all sync issues should be resolved that way. Please make sure you've taken all the steps and tested adequately before continuing.
3. If there are any calendars on your Mac that you don't synchronize with iCloud, export them by selecting them in the calendar list and then selecting
File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
from the menu bar. Quit Calendar.
4. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move that folder to the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
5. Launch Calendar. Your calendars will initially be gone, but they should resynchronize with iCloud. If they don't, uncheck the box marked Calendars & Reminders in the iCloud preference pane, then re-check it.
6. Import the calendars you exported in step 3, if any, by double-clicking the files.
7. If the issue is resolved, close the Finder window you opened in Step 4. Delete the exported files and the Calendars folder on the Desktop.

  • Calendar not syncing from iMac to iCloud

    I have an iMac running 10.6.8, a first-generation iPad and an iPhone 4, both upgraded to iOS 5. To start with, syncing through iCloud worked perfectly. Now the calendar on the iMac is not syncing with iCloud. Calendar events put into either the iPad or iPhone show up on iCloud, and sync with each other. But events put into the calendar on the iMac do not appear on the iCloud calendar, and events put into the iPad or iPhone do not appear on the iMac calendar. Any ideas?

    You must have v10.7.2 Lion installed for your Mac to use iCloud.
    Read here >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
    If you decide to upgrade to Lion, make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements
    Currently your iPad and iPhone can sync using iCloud but not your Mac.

  • Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g

    Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g.
    Solution
    Create backup of your entire mailbox before starting (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
    Create offline folder (.pst file) Check windows help on how to do this for your version.
    Open folders view on Outlook
    Right click on Calendar in tree view and 'copy to' offline .pst folder
    Go back to main calendar view and delete all entries in your calendar.
    Create simple cal entry and sync test with iphone
    If this works then start dragging cal entries back from the offline folder into the main calendar then sync after each step....
    I moved events in this order
    -Yearly recurrences (ie Birthdays)
    - Monthly recurrences
    - weekly recurrences
    - Daily recurrences
    All appointments from the beginning of this year >> to the end of time!
    If all these sync then the issue is with an older cal item and you have to decide if you actually need these in you current calendar.
    I chose to leave these in the offline cal and if i need access them from there.
    If at any point the sync fails then you know you have a corrupt cal entry in the block you just transferred. Move the offending items back into the offline folder and try again in smaller chunks until you identify the offending items and delete them and manually recreate them in your real calendar.
    Also smart to run the inbox (.pst /.ost ) repair tools for your OS/Outlook version.
    Fixed so far
    XP Pro / Outlook 2008
    XP Pro /Outlook 2003

    I just updated the firmware to iPhone 2.0.1 and the syncing works great both ways.

  • I recently asked a question regarding my ipad calendar not syncing.  Now I noticed I am unable to even add an event ( the   sign in the upper right hand corner) is greyed out, nothing happens when you touch it.  My notes aren't syncing either

    Calendar not syncing, unable to add events as the + sign at the top right is greyed out and nothing happens when you touch it.  Then realized that my Notes aren't syncing either nor are my reminders.  What the heck is going on.  This ipad mini is just barely 6 months old.  Software is up to date.  Someone please help me.
    I have always wanted an ipad now beginning to wonder why...

    Turns out once I shut down the iPad and turned it back on my issues were resolved.
    Thank you

  • IPhone calendar not syncing

    Please help. I am at my wit's end. I cannot get my iPhone calendar to sync to icloud nor to my Mac. Sometimes some events from my phone sync, sometimes not. I cannot figure out how to get everything to go where it should. iCloud and iCal seem to be in sync. New events from my phone do not sync. I have searched every thread I can find on the subject, no help for me. I do not use Outlook nor google calendars. Just iPhone, iCal, and iCloud. I only started using iCloud because it seemed to be the answer to this problem when my phone stopped syncing to iCal. It still doesn't work. I have tried turning off all my calendars, signing out of iCloud in my Mac's System Preferences, changing how far back events on my phone will sync, all to no avail.

    I had the same problem too with certain calendars not syncing. I deleted my MobileMe account from my iPhone and then added it back again. All my data including the calendars that were not syncing repopulated my iPhone in just a few minutes. Everything seems to be working fine now.

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

  • Icloud calendar not syncing

    I've added appointments to my calendar on iMac and it doesn't sync on iPhone and iPad.  Same with the address book. I will change info on one of my devices and it doesn't change on the others.  I checked in System Preferences under iCloud, both calendar and address book are selected.  Same with devices.
    Any other things I should be doing? Or where can I find more troublehshooting tips. Thanks.

    Contacts not syncing.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    Calendars not syncing.
    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 iMac has not synced to icloud since november, how do i force a sync?

    My iMac has not synced to icloud since november, how do i force a sync?

    Check that it is indeed running 10.7.2 and if it isn't use Software Update (from the Apple menu - the icon at top left) to bring it up to date.
    Did it originally sync and has stopped, or has it never synced?
    Did you create an Apple ID (if you didn't already have one) and then follow the procedure detailed here:

  • Subscription type calendar not syncing across to mobileme from ical - help!

    i have a subscription type calendar (happens to be for remember the milk) that shows up perfectly on my ical but is not syncing out to the mobileme account and thus this cal of events from RTM does not make it to the iphone calendar
    any help would be appreciated??!!

    I have the exact same issue.
    My iCal syncs to MobileMe and to my iPhone 3G. All sync fine. My wife's subscription to this calendar appears to be stuck in time from a week ago. I'm guessing around the time of 10.5.5. The online info is correct, but nothing gets her iCal to see it correctly. I've tried refreshing it and deleting it and re-subscribing to it, neither fixed it.
    Has anyone gotten this issue fixed?

  • My calendar on my imac is not syncing to my iphone

    when I plug my phone into the imac the calendars are not syncing not sure why this just started happening.  all updates are done.

    Try adding a test event on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, then go to iCloud.com to see when of these events (if any) appears on your calendar there.  Which one(s) appears on iCloud.com?

  • The calendar on the imac is not syncing with the iphone?

    The calendar on my macpro, operating system OS X 10.6.8,  does not sync with the iphone?  When I look up on the info tab in itunes, the calendar is checked to sync

    Completely by serendipity I just fixed this!
    I was perplexed as to why all my events showed in iCal on my computer, but only some events would show in iCal on my iphone.
    All day events were not showing, appointments weren't showing and neither was work, but social events were, no matter how many times i tried to sync my iphone with my MacBook Pro. Hmmm strange.
    So I only just figured it out accidentally when on iCal on my iphone that if i click the 'calendars' tab in the top left hand corner, it takes me to a list of all my created calendars (and their colours) that I have in iCal.
    If you tap on a certain calendar it will display only those events. Eg. I tapped on my calendar 'appointments >', and iCal only displayed all of my appointment times on my iphone and not the other events.
    If I tap on 'work >', it displays all work events. Etc.
    Is this making sense??
    NOW:
    If you go back to the 'calendars' tab on iCal on the iphone and tap on 'All >'...
    then
    Hooray!!! All your events will be displayed.
    Hopefully! :P
    Hope this helps!!

  • Events added to iPhone 5 calendar not syncing on iMac

    Whenever I add an event to iPhone 5 calendar, it doesn't sync on my iMac (but if I add an event on my iMac calendar, that DOES sync onto iPhone). icloud setting for mail are on.

    Hi thewomandirector,
    For calendar events that are not syncing from your iPhone to your iMac, I recommend this troubleshooting article:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
    I recommend troubleshooting the iMac first and then, if necessary, the iPhone.  You can also check iCloud.com to see if the iPhone-added events are making it that far.
    Cheers!

  • Calendar not syncing after mountain lion install on iMac

    Installed mountain lion on my imac.  entered calendar event on my iphone and have never had problems with imac and iphone syncing.  now, when i did a hard sync from iphone to imac, calendar event didn't transfer.  I tried to trouble shoot and did the reverse way - imac to iphone with a dummy calendar event - that didn't transfer either.
    please advise what might be going on...
    thanks

    My iMac has updated to mountain lion and also get the same issues. Then I try the tip from

  • IMac Calendar wont sync, iPad and iPhone do

    Recent update to Mountain Lyon and iTunes, iPad, and iPhone all up to date. iPhone and iPad Calendars sync to each other, but iMac Calendar will not sync. I am using just Apples Calendar and iTunes for syncing. Help. Tried checking syncing only Calendars, checking no Calendar Sync and then Calendar Sync on again...no joy.

  • Calendars not syncing on iPhone 4S

    A few days ago I realized that events created on my home Mac were no longer syncing through iCloud to my phone. This had been working perfectly through MobileMe since November (when I purchased the phone), and also on iCloud after I made the switch in March. It seems that the problems arrived in mid-May with the release and update to iOS 5.1.1, which seems to have solved my iCloud battery drain issue by making it not sync at all anymore.
    I know I'm not the only person experiencing problems with iCloud syncing, but I'm not seeing this problem specifically in the discussions. It has basically rendered my phone's calendar completely useless, as entries are not syncing to or from the phone, and this is a serious problem for usage. I've tried and tested all the standard fixes such as restarting, forcing refreshes, turning off/on iCloud, etc. with no results (or an occasional event syncing, but not the majority).
    All syncing is working across my other devices (iMac, MacBook, and iCloud.com).
    Is there any fix to this, or do I just have to wait for iOS 6 and pray?

    Isn't that always the way things go. So not two minutes after I posted this question I found the culprit that was causing my problem.
    My phone was set to sync "Events 2 Weeks Back", which apparently doesn't sync anything past that point (useful, huh?). Switching this setting (Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars>Sync) to "All Events" immediately caused all of my events to show up, although it seems I may have lost some events created on my phone in the process.
    Not a huge deal though, and maybe this will help someone else, as I haven't seen this setting mentioned in the other troubleshooting posts.
