I am unable to synchronize my computer iCal with iCloud.

I have a MacBook Pro laptop, a MacPro and an iPhone 5. I have an iCloud account activated on computers and iPhone. I wish to make iCloud the default Calendar, so that any entries on laptop or on iPhone can be synchronized. I have not been able to get iCal on iCloud to respond or synchronize. Any entries made on laptop iCal do not appear on iCloud. The iPhone calendar also remains blank and does not record any entries made on laptop. In other words, none of the devices will communicate with each other or with the Cloud. I have searched Apple help pages and completed the setup instructions and trouble shooting questions which are relevant, with no success.
Can anyone give me some help? Thanks,

Are your iCal calendars listed under On My Mac or iCloud? (You should be able to view them on the left side of iCal. If you don't see them, click on "Calendars" on the top left. Then check to see what heading your calendars are listed under.)

Synchronize Ipad & Mac Ical without Icloud

How could I synchronize Ipad & Mac Ical without ICloud? Mac Ical duplicates in Ipad Ical while Ipad Ical is not updated in Mac Ical ...

First uncheck syncing iCloud with calendar and reminders in System Preferences, and then set up a new calendar in iCal under On My Mac (this may not be necessary at all, but that's what I did). Then choose Find > New Calendar. Enter your iCloud account and set it up from there. In this way you will keep both On My Mac and iCloud. Hope this helps.
Attempted your method, splithsc. There are a couple of things that seem a bit unclear to me in your procedure. Besides that it didn't work for me.
I can set up a new calendar in On My Mac, but in order to do so, I had to unsubscribe from ALL shared calendars (I share some Google calendar events too) first AND turn off iCloud in order to create a calendar in On My Mac. Once that was accomplished I was able to create a calendar and an event in that Calendar that way though.
Curiously, shared Google accounts do not delete the On My Mac created calendar when they are re-enabled.
When entering iCloud again the "merge" action somehow replaces calendars On My Mac not merge them as the menu states, merges the calendar created in On My Mac and deletes the entry sort of as it says! Events created in the Calendar are gone but the calendar is gone!
Turning off the iCloud doesn't bring back the missing "On My Mac" nor data in it, however.

If you enable it in iCloud, it should sync atuomatically. Make a backup of it before changing anything.

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud.

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud. It works well from iCloud to Ical, and Ical to iCloud except for all the calendars in the "ON MY MAC" group.
Please help.

That's correct: both in MobileMe and iCloud you cannot 'sync' 'On My Mac' calendars. This is because there is no actual syncing in the literal sense: the calendars are held on the server, and read from there by iCal (think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense).
The only way to 'sync' an 'On My Mac' calendar is to move it to iCloud. This page is written for MobileMe but the principle is the same: please follow the first set of numbered instructions.

Problems with synchronizing iCal with iCloud accounts on my Mac Pro

I have problems with synchronizing iCal with iCloud calender accounts on my Mac Pro runnning OS 10.6.8
(error message "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" på handlingen CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.)
It works fine on iOS devices.

Due to lacking hardware driver compatibility i our graphic production environment we can't upgrade to Lion.
Does that mean that it after the closing of MobileMe is impossible to synchronize calenders to Mac's running OS 10.6.8 ??

I find that I can sync fine with Entourage and I cal under Leopard. I can also subscribe to the Leopard I-calendar on another computer (running Tiger). However, the calendar will not go onto a web page as it used to; this is very frustrating for my colleagues! We need a fix here I think.

Under iCloud system setting, I can't click on the Calendar box to sync my iCal with iCloud

I followed all the precedure to enable iCloud for my Macbook Pro. However, under iCloud system setting, everytime when I clikc on he Calendar box (same with contact and other boxes), it appears to sync for few minutes then the box become unclicked. I realized the click is grey instead of solid black too. Not sure why, but I really need to sync my iCal with iCloud as I accidentlly delete everything on my iCloud Calendar which earse everything on my iphone too.
I am using os X and all other software should be most updated too!

I am having the same difficulty with my Mac Book Air. Was your problem resolved and how?

I'm unable to sync special characters in ical with iCloud

when i add an event into my ical with a special character like a birthday cake for instance. it will show up on my mac and in icloud but icloud will not send that character to the phone, and vice versa.

This is a font issue, a unicode problem and compatibility. If you use a char prsent on your mac, but absent on your iPhone, it is clear to me that they cannot be synced. I do not know exactly what chars are included in iPhone font(s), but some special chars are for sure absent.
such issues are common even in cross-platform transfer and even on mac-to-mac transfer if you use a font present in one mac/pc, but absent in the other.
What specific char did you use, to be more specific? Paste it here, it should work.

How can i synchronize my outlook 2011 with icloud

Hi there,
I've just been googling a lot, but didn't find a answer to my question, just people who find the same problem actually. I was wondering if anyone could save this puzzle yet:
After some tests I learned, that mac—when you first activate your iCloud—uses two different contact and calendar sources: the local and the one exported to the cloud. So as for my office solution I need a three step synchronization. I work with Outlook 2011 and use this calendar, and also quite frequently my calendar on my iphone. So of course I would want them synchronized as much as possible.
What my mac does: synchronizes phone and mac calendar perfectly, not the Outlook calendar though. As I saw in the Outlook preferences, Outlook is only connected to the local calendar. Therefor all events disappear when I cleaned out my mac calendar of double events (local and iCloud appeared there).
How can I get my Outlook to take the iCloud calendar as main source?
I also faced that problem in my mac adressbook (which synchronizes with Oultook): there I do have double contacts too, since you can't deactivate the local contact account.
Not good :-( I'd be very happy if someone had some anwers.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Outlook is not compatible with iCloud, you should change your contacts and calendars to iCal and address book.

HT5058 Syncing Exchange Account in iCal with iCloud

I have successfully added an Exchange account calendar to my iCal. Problem is I can't get my Exchange calendar to sync with iCloud.
How do I get my Exchange account calendar to sync with iCloud since they appear in different sections? Thank you.

I think I have a solution: delete the shared calendars from your iCloud calendar list and then log into your husband's iCloud account. Stop sharing all the calendars in question and re-share them again to your iCloud e-mail address.
I had to do this very thing and lo and behold, the new invitations took just fine and now, no more 403 errors. So, the source of the problem would appear to be a server-side permissions or backoffice kind of problem. The workaround is to delete the sharing properties (i.e. stop sharing) and then re-share the calendars again. I think maybe now with this information, Apple should be able to home in on a real fix but until then, try this workaround. Hope this helps you.

Sync iCal with iCloud Calendar

None of my appointments in iCal show up in my iCloud Calendar. In fact my iCloud Calendar has no appointments in it. I am sure I screwed something up in the coversion and trying to remove all the duplicate entries. In any event, how do I go about syncing forcing the appointments in iCal to show up in iCloud Calendar.

Problem resolved, and I can now see the other replies, strange.
Anyway, make sure you have a back up copy of your address book and iCal. Use the Export feature to make a back up.
This is what I did to finally resolve the problem.
Go into System Preferences and open "Mail, Contacts & Calendars". Remove all accounts, use the - box.
Go into System Preferences and open "iCloud". Make sure that you have the screen that asks you to sign up for an account. DO not do this yet.
Open Mac Mail and Preferences and remove any accouts that are still showing up so your Mail is completely empty.
Reboot your Mac. Check all the above to see if any accounts have been automatically reinstalled or set up. If they have remove them again.
Reboot again and do the same thing. Once no accounts are showing open you iCal and import the file you exported earlier. This will restore all your appointments in iCal on your Mac.
Reboot your Mac. Make sure that all the iCloud and email accounts are not there. I had to do this 3 times, for what ever reason my old MobileMe account continue to be added back to "Mail, Contacts & Calendars". Once everything is clean and you have all your appointments in iCal, reboot again.
Open Preferences and open "iCloud". Add your primary iCloud account and just wait for everything to finish installing. You should see 2 sets of appointments in iCal. Click on the Calendars button in the upper left and uncheck the box under the heading that does not say iCloud. This does not remove any of the appointments it just hides the ones that are on your Mac and then shows the ones that are on the iCloud Calendar.
One last thing. In iCal open Preferences form the iCal dromdown menue. Under the "Default Calendar" option make sure that you have the default calendar related to the iCloud Calendar checked. If you do not when ever you create a new appointment on your Mac you will be creating it in iCal and two things will happen. First all your iCal appointments on your Mac will show up again and secondl, that appointment will not show up in iCloud Calendars so it will not migrate to your other devices.
Apple should give some thought to having the iCal and iCloud Calendars merged so there are not seperate sets of appointments. I know there must be some reason for doing it the way they did but if someone is going to be using iCloud what would be the purpose of having a seperate set of appointments on your Mac that you have to hide and then worry about entering a new appointment that may not migrate to iCloud if you happend to se that appointment up in the iCal list instead of the iCloud list.

I am unable to sync my outlook 2011 with icloud to work with other devices

I have updated my computer to Lion, and have Outlook as my primary email/calendar. The calendar is my primary issue: I really want to sync it with icloud so it pops up on my phone. When looking at tutorials my screen doesn't look the same as theirs. HELP!

Many Thx. But I still have same problems. It is notifying me that "the procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll". I have found libxml2.dll file and copyandpast that into itunes. But, it is not solving my problems. Please help me. Actually where should I paste the missing file?

Ios7 doesn't synchronize anymore Window calendar with Icloud - any help

Since I'm on IOS7 my calendars ( outlook-Icloud ) doesn't synchronize abymore

I don't use iCloud; I connect through USB. I was having the same problem. I sucked it up & paid for a support call. The guy had me make it so iTunes doesn't automatically synchronize my iPhone when I connect it. Then I clicked the synchronize calendars / contacts buttons (as I always had them). Now when I connect my iPhone / iPad, I'll have to manually open iTunes and click the "sync" button at the bottom. This is sort of a pain, but *way* better than having to merge the info. each time!

Unable to Sync Iphone 4s ical with mac (without iCloud)

Hi there,
I was able to sync perfectly all my iCal info back and forth between my iphone 4s and my Mac (OS X 10.8.5), but now it is impossible.
Went through different discussions involving upgrading to Maverick but I really don't think I have done any upgrade (or is there something automatic I didn't quite get?).
The option to sync the calendars in info in itunes is still there, and it does sync the iphone and the mac icals, but the events don't cross from one to the other.
I gave a try to the iCloud, but honestly it is beyond the absolute opposite of anything practical or efficient. More important I travel a lot between countries with no wifi or internet connection whatsoever, so really need to go back to good ol' sync by usb, getting rid of the iCloud on the way. Can anyone advise how to?
Many thanks in advance!

If itunes doesn't recognize the phone try this: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
