How do I sync to my Calendar from outside iCloud (Gmail, etc)?

I have become accustomed to having everything I need as far as my calendar, contacts and reminders everywhere I go and always up-to-date through the sub-miracle of iCloud.  However, believe it or not, my Apple ecosystem is incomplete.  How you ask?  Well, I've recently joined the GTD bandwagon and, in so doing, have found the task management capability of these apps - singly or combined - shall we say, fairly lacking.  I use Evernote and Dropbox to fill in some of the gaps, but to corral all this data and make it useable for my workflow I use an integrated task manager.  Which one is not relevant to the current discussion since the problem presented here is the same regardless (but for the record I'm currently experimenting with the beta of an app called IQTell). 
I want to link to my Calendar.  My calendar is subscribed to iCloud.  My AppleID associated with my iCloud account is NOT a [email protected] AppleID, but instead is [email protected] Yes, this complicates things further, but I'm unfortunately heavily invested in that ID at this point.  As such I have no iCloud sync of Notes.  Calendar/iCloud won't let me join calendars I attempt to share with/publish to myself (via an alternate email).  I can link Google calendars to this task manager, but not to my Apple Calendar, so that is not a viable workaround.  Both the Google environment and the Exchange/Outlook environment allow fairly open linking to outside entities, but iCloud has apparently effectively sealed my ecosystem into an Apple only affair and not sure I'm down for that anymore.  But I'm open to suggestions???

Did you ever come up with a solution for this?
I'm going to try adding yet another AppleID, but it's not what I want to or should have to do.

  • How can I sync up the calendar from Microsoft Outlook email with my ipad 2?

    How can I sync up my calendar from Microsoft Outlook with my ipad 2? Or do I have to enter in all of the dates individually?

    When the iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes, then on the device's Info tab you should be able to select where to sycn a calendar from - from the iPad manual :
    You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)

  • How do I sync contacts and calendar from iphone to PC?

    How do I sync contact and calendar info from my iPhone into Outlook on my PC?  The iPhone User Guide suggests that you can only sync from the PC to the phone. Is there a way to reverse the direction?

    The sync process for contacts and calendar events with a supported app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process.
    There is a way to replace on the iPhone with what is available in the supported application on your computer but not the other way around.
    If the supported application on your computer includes contacts and calendar events and the same with your iPhone, with the first sync for this data you will be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select.
    This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • How do I sync my Thunderbird calendar with my icloud calendar on my Mac?

    Hi there
    I've switched from Outlook from Mac to Thunderbird.
    My issue, however, is that when I receive calendar invites, I save them using Thunderbird to the calendar. The calendar, however, is not syncing (I can't see an option to do this) with my iCloud calendar and is therefore not being shared to my iPhone, iPad, etc.
    Can you please advise how I can resolve this?
    Regards,
    Mars

  • How can i sync my work calendar from my iPhone 5 to my iMac using iCloud?

    We just updated to the Mountain Lion software on the iMac and now i would like to be able to look and even create new appointments on my caldendar on the iMac and see them on my iPhone. Is this possible??

    Yes.  On your Mac log into you iCloud account in the System/iCloud preference pane and make sure Calendars and Reminders are checked:
    On your iPhone log into the same iCloud account and make sure Calendars are turned on:
    Then entries on either device will by synced to the other.

  • How to sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad 2?

    How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

    I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2.  I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty.  I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad.  Any suggestions?

  • Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only 1 calendar to sync?

    Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, alternatively, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only one calendar to sync?

    If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows.  That will get back your music.  I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

  • I have just bought an iMac and when it has sync'd my calendar from my iphone all the appointments are showing on the Mac a day earlier than they appear on my iphone.  Help?

    Hi can anyone help?  I have had an iphone for years now and use my calendar to run my life!  I have just invested in an iMac but when it has sync'd my calendar from my phone all my events are appearing one day earlier.  I have checked the time zone and set it to Apple Europe.  Can anyone help e get this sorted?  Much appreciate any help.

    Helo No Joy,
    It sounds like your events synced to your computer from the phone and they are all an hour out of sync. I recommend verifying that time zone support is turned on with your iCloud calendar if you are using iCloud:
    Use a time zone other than the default
    In iCloud Calendar, choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu below the sidebar.
    Click Advanced, select “Enable time zone support,” then click Save.
    With time zone support on, a “time zone” pop-up menu appears when you create an event, letting you set any time zone you want.
    You can also reset the default time zone for your calendars (and their events) at any time.
    From: iCloud: Change your calendar’s time zone
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2677
    If not, I would verify that your iPhone date and time are set correctly with the correct time zone support information:
    iOS: How to adjust Time Zone Support for calendars
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4576
    To enable Time Zone Support for calendars
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Scroll down to Calendars.
    Tap Time Zone Support.
    Slide the slider for Time Zone Support to ON.
    Tap Time Zone.
    Enter your current location or the closest city in the same time zone and tap it when it appears in the results list.
    And I would next verify that this information is correct on your computer as well:
    Choose Calendar > Preferences, click Advanced, then select “Turn on time zone support.”
    From: Calendar (Mavericks): View events in a different time zone

    Did you ever solve the problem?  I have an iPhone 4 and don't use the Cloud.  I sync the iPhone with my Windows 7 Outlook using iTunes.  It worked perfectly until I upgraded the iPhone to iOS 7.0.2 and now the calendar entries from the iPhone are updated in Outlook but the calendar entries in Outlook are not synced to the iPhone.  I get this message.  Any help would be appreciate.  I went to the "Genius Bar" at my local Apple Store, they were clueless and no help at all.

  • How can I sync my contact list from laptop to iphone?

    How can I sync my contact list from laptop to iphone?  My contact list is in Microsoft Outlook.  I want to go from laptop to iphone and not vice versa.

    I use iCloud to sync calendar and contacts using Outlook 2010 on my Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 desktop, an iPhone 5S, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 4. For example if I make a change/add/delete a contact on my iPhone 5S the change is reflected over on the other devices basically instantaneously...
