HT4968 Changes to calendars being overwritten via iCloud

How do I get my calendars to keep the changes I make instead of overwrite/revert them? 
I made a bunce of changes to my iCloud calendars on my Mac - such as changing the color, renaming a calendar - and iCloud/iPhone overwrote all the changes and set the names and the color back to what was on my iPhone. 
I made changes on my iPhone and Poof! iCloud/Mac overwrote the changes on the iPhone and the colors reverted to what they had been. 
I finally went to iCloud.com (which I had never used before) and made the changes there - thinking surely that will work.  I even deleted three old calendars that are either empty or so old I do not care about the contents anymore.  Nope! Once again, the changes reverted
Help!

My apologies.  I should have added that I had read and followed instructions on all 3 of the troubleshooting pages (Lion, iCloud, and iOS).  I always try to solve the problem before I write.
I fiddled with it more today and at the moment it seems to be working.  It appears that I have to go into Calendar on the iPhone to make any changes that will keep.  That is a bit of a drag since I actually use WeekCal on my phone.  So later today I will probably remove and reinstall the app.
With that being the case I think I know what might have started this cascade of problems, but would take too long to write here.  I will continue to mess with it and probably be able to get it working.  I think I need to turn off icloud and erase the calendars from my iPhone so it sees the Mac as the main source of the calendars again.
Thanks anyway for your suggestions.

  • Calendar not syncing via iCloud

    I'm have sync issues with iCloud:
    I have multiple calendars on my desktop app. This is where I keep track of all my dates. I have activated all the proper settings (as far as I can tell) for syncing across all devices. (iMac, iPhone, iPad) All devices are up to date. I checked the settings via iTunes on the iPhone and it declares I am set up for iCloud syncing. Same with iPad. I check the settings on the devics themselves and all iCloud syncing is activated.
    If I go to the desktop version and display the calendars on the left bar I see three groupings. First is headed "iCloud" and it is all the calendars I created. Second group is ALSO headed "iCloud" and it contains four generic calendars plus the one from the first group that is being synced to all devices. The third group is "Other" with US Holidays and Birthdays; also which I did not create. Only that one calendar which shows up in the first two groups--and does actually sync to my mobiles--had the broadcast icon alongside it; that one and the "Birthdays" calendar have it. So why are these the only calendars with that logo (presumably denoting iCloud broadcasting/sharing)? Obviously I didn't set that one calendar to sync. According to my devices my calendars are in sync.
    This has me flummoxed.

  • Macbook pro calendar not syncing (via iCloud) with iPhone 4s

    After looking through a few discussions I see some users having issues in syncing their calendars (from their computer) on to their iphone.
    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and this seems to be the key issue.
    I was showed from an Apple genius that when syncing via icloud (and to avoid duplicate calendar entries) is to uncheck sync, contacts and calendars.
    Which I have and I do have icloud "ON" in my phone. But whenever I update my calendar entries on my Apple laptop it no longer syncs to the iphone.
    Would anyone have any leads as to why it's no longer syncing? I'm pretty good at troubleshooting but I'm at a loss with this one.
    thanks in advance    Aimee

  • Share Specified Calendars in iCal via iCloud

    I have a specific Calendar on my MBP which I want to share with my wife who has an iPad2,
    We have both upgraded to ios5 on iPad 2 and OSX Lion on my mBP.
    Any advice on how to share specific calendars over icloud.
    Thanks
    Keith

    Trying to do the same thing. Want to share an iCal calendar from an iMac running Lion to my girlfriend's iMac running Snow Leopard.
    Trying to subscribe to my Lion iCal shared calendar from her Snow Leopard iCal, iCal (on hers) asks for a URL. So no go there. I signed into my iCloud account via Safari on my Lion iMac. I got to the iCloud site via Safari and viewed my iCal calendar with the little speaker icon that was mentioned in one of the replies. However, clicking that icon does nothing. Hmm. Not very "Apple-like" is it?

  • Is there a way to change the Calendar date format in iCloud? It seems to default to the 'American' way even though on my iMac it is set to the 'British' way.

    My calendar in iCloud has the following format:
    1/12/2011 for the 12 January 2011
    I would like it to be as all my other Calendars were/are:
    12/1/2011 for 12th January 2011
    Any help gratefully accepted

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Click on the gear icon in the top right corner and select preferences from the menu that appears, you can adjust the date format from there.

  • Sharing calendar with others via icloud

    I just can't seem to get my calendar to get into my icloud account let alone share it with other members of my family, any suggestions?

    No iDisk-like functionality exists in iCloud. You'll have to look elsewhere, such as Dropbox or SugarSync.

  • Syncing calendars across PC, iPad & iPhone via iCloud.

    As the name suggests, I'm a PC.  Everyone keeps telling me to make the leap to apple for a laptop too & then all my devices would work beautufully together.  But it's not an option at the moment.
    I'm really struggling to get my calendar syncing properly via iCloud across a PC, an iPhone & iPad.  I've figured out a few of the problems but the biggie that remains is around meeting invites.  My husband & I send each other meeting requests to ensure that we know what each other is doing.  If he sends me an invite, I can accept it in Outlook on  my PC & it drops into the Outlook default calendar, but it will not appear in the iCloud calendar on Outlook & therefore doesn't appear on my iPhone & iPad.
    If I attempt to send him an invite from iPhone or iPad, he cant even see it properly on his PC/Galaxy/Nexus.
    I have my own IMAP domain & don't want to abandon it for Gmail.

    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.

  • When I sync my outlook 2013 calendar via Icloud, the changes that i made in my computer does not appear on my Iphone-4

    When I sync my outlook 2013 calendar via Icloud, the changes that i made in my computer does not appear on my Iphone-4

    If you using on a windows pc, maybe you should reinstall the iCloud Control Panel. You can download the latest version from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455?viewlocale=en_US
    If you cant see your changes on icloud.com than you have trouble between outlook and icloud. this is the part of the icloud control panel.

  • TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

    My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

    On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default.  If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
    If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar.  If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer.  Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off.  When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone.  After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone.  Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

  • Why contacts birthdays are being showed in iCloud calendar all with the same age (11 years)??

    Why contacts birthdays are being showed in iCloud calender all with the same age (11 years) ?? There is a solution to solve this problem ??
    Thank-you

    I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
    I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
    I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
    So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
    Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
    Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

    You have to change it using iTunes on your computer, as explained here: Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support.  (This article: iCloud: View or change your iCloud payment information no longer works with iOS 8 or Yosemite.)
