ICal and reminders on Macbook don't sync with iCloud

Just now when iCal crashed on my MacBook Pro I realise that it hasn't been syncing with iCloud (lost al lot of appointments).
Any change made on my iPad, iPhone and on icloud.com syncs perfectly; even back to my macbook!
The rest on my laptop (notes, iWork apps, mail, contacts) all seem to work and sync perfectly with iCloud.
However iCal and Reminders made on my laptop just don't sync to iCloud!
The other way around works nicely (reminders and calendar appointments from iPad, iPhone and iCloud.com appear promptly on the macbook).
I have tried everything i could find (restarting computer, resetting icloud prefferences, log out and in from icloud, starting new calendar, checking icloud account). Nothing works...
Any change made from my macbook just doesnt make it to other devices. From other devices back to my mac do work.
On my macbook all calendars I have are in iCloud.
iCloud is active (with same login as for other devices)
Would be great if someone could help me with this one!
Thanks!

I have something similar and i will try to explain with my rusty english.
I have an ID on iCloud but i can't sync the iCal events.
On my mac there is everythign (appointment, notes birthdays and so on). On my iCloud there is nothing.
I suppose was something related with the old ID (one just for ichat, not one of the ID that you pay to receive extra services or a @me.com account).
Now, as soon as the icloud features was installed on my Macbook Air I signed a new ID and initially everything worked fine. Emails on Mail and contacts were syncronized properly but with the new ID. i did not check iCal account.
So i tried also with the old one (the ichat ID) and all was sync. So i realized that maybe Apple recognized same account or name and merge all the ID in just one.
I was wrong.
The 2 ID's are not linked.
further checks add also this new weird stuff. in any case i cant sync ical accounts. i tried to switch from one to another ID. no way. i checked preferences in iCal on the mac. everything is fine. no way.
do uu have any idea?

ICal calendars on my Mac don't sync with iCloud

Am I missing something? When I configured iCloud, I noticed that I suddenly had duplicates of my Address Book and Calenders. My Mac can sync with my phone, my phone can sync with iCloud, but I can't sync my Mac with iCloud.
Maybe I'm too lazy and haven't read enough about it, but it seems like a total cluster.
So now, when I want to update my calendar on my Mac, I have to go to iCloud instead of using iCal.
Anyway, if I'm missing something... feel free to point it out. No offense taken

I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud

I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud. Also, all of my notes on iCloud aren't on my phone anymore, but they are still on my computer. Can somebody please advise how to fix this issue? Thank you!

Sounds like they are being overwritten by the server as soon as you reconnect. With some effort you may be able to prevent this and recover your notes if you try the steps in Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

My macbook won't sync with icloud

My iMac syncs with icloud, but my Macbook will not. The iMac is Lion 10.7.3, but the Macbook is Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Thats correct, 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, your 10.6.8 MacBook needs updating (assuming it will)

IOS 8.1 (iPad mini) and Yosemite (MacBook) don't sync using iCloud

iPad mini (new) using IOS 8.1 and MacBook late 2008 using Yosemite do not sync using iCloud. iCloud created with both devices and iCal and Contacts selected but iCloud is empty in Finder.

iTunes is a mess. On the sidebar on the left there is a "On My Device" section. It shows everything *except* the apps. Above that there is a "settings" section. That's where the apps are. That's a "setting"?
The device handling needs a complete overhaul. There are many many people who have had an iPad or iPhone for some time, but do not own a Mac. Based on climbing Mac sales, clearly some of those people are deciding "I like this iPhone so much I'm going to get a Mac!" So they get one and run into this train wreck.
Even now, with the iPad selected, I go to the View menu, select View Options..., and.....nothing. No window, no dialog, no indication of anything. Turns out that menu item is not applicable when a device is selected. Even with the original 128k Mac (my first Mac) they had this sorted out - dim the menu item when it's not applicable. Here we are 30 years later and they get it wrong.

ICal events entered in iPhone don't sync with Mac

I am suddenly having problems with iCal entries made on my iPhone. They do not seem to sync with my Mac's calendar or on Mobile Me Calendar. I have tried syncing and still nothing. I initially had problems when I switched to the Beta version several months ago, got that fixed but now I'm suddenly finding events I entered on my iPhone not appearing on my Mac's calendar and I'm getting duplicates again, too. Very frustrating. I went to the duplicate calendar fix instructions at Apple but that didn't seem to fix my problem; I can live with duplicates. I can't live with missing events.
Any suggestions or references to a fix? Thanks/

I don't know if you have what I've also had, but http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12382141 might help. I have this problem too. It's quite annoying. I have to keep iCal open before it syncs.

Reminders on iPad will not sync with iCloud

Hi everyone. I have made the transition to iCloud on my Mac, iPhone and iPad 2. Everything seems to be working fine with Mail, Calendar and Contacts. I am not able to get Reminders on the iPad to sync lists in iCloud. Or, if I create a Reminders list on my iPhone, it will not show up on the iPad. The iPhone list does show up in iCal, where it's supposed to. Any idea why the iPad is left out? I have checked all of the iCloud settings, Notifications, etc. and they are all set to share Reminders. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I've got iCloud all settled down between my iMac, iPad and iPhone, and love it.
But this morning I noticed that a reminder I created on the iPad did not appear after an hour in iCal on my iMac. So I started creating test reminders. A reminder made on iMac would appear instantly on iPad, but a reminder on iPad would not appear on iMac. Settings all fine all around (same iCloud account and reminder calendars). I turned of Reminders in iCloud on the iPad settings, then turned it back on. A couple of minutes later all the iPad reminders appeared on iMac, but who knows if that worked, or it just needed time. So I figured all was well and deleted the test reminders on the iPad, but several minutes later they have not been removed from iMac.
So signed into my iCloud account: the test reminders were gone from there. I left it alone for a while the reminders eventually went away from the iMac. Puzzling, but it works.
If testing, best to check all three places at once: iDevice, iCloud account in Safari, and iMac.

Contacts on Macbook are not synced with iCloud

MacBook Yosemite, Iphone 5S 8.1
I have 2708 contacts on my Macbook. They are shown under iCloud/all contacts
My macbook is connected to my ICloud account and the preferences/icloud/contact sync is ticked
In the same iCloud account (if I go online via Safari into my account) I see only 36 of these contacts, which I also find on my Iphone, which is connected to the same ICloud Account and the contact Sync is ticked...that means Iphone and Macbook are correctly connected to the same ICloud Account but not syncing properly.
Strange ist that if I open contacts/preferences/accounts on my macbook, I see 1 active ICloud account and 3 inactive ICloud accounts all with the same apple ID. I'm not able to delete the 3 inactive accounts with "-". I end up always in the normal looking ICloud preferences.
I tried unticking contacts....also signing off from the iCloud Account...signing in again. No help!
How can I get my 2708 contacts from my Macbook to my internet ICloud account and then synced automatically to my iphone?
Thanks

Thanks. No, I have 10.7 nowadays, have had it for a while. I discovered in Contact preferences that Icould was not activated. Now it is and the contacts are syncing again, although they appear twice, if I have both "on my Mac" and ""ICloud" activated. Any way to avoid this?

I have an IPad 2 and can't get it to sync with ICloud. Help!

When I try to get mail on my IPad2 I get a message "ICloud. User name or password is incorrect. Ignore. Edit"
I go to edit, but I don't know what user name and password is being used. (I must have a zillion by now). Where can I find this info?
I don't want to mess something else up. Can IPhone, IPad and MacBook Pro all have different names and passwords for the same program? From my frustrating experience, think at least some do.

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

HT4901 my ical calendar has disappeared when trying to sync with iCloud- help!

How to insure that contacts and calendar are NOT synced with ICloud?

Hello,
I do not understand, why it is not possible anymore to sync your contacts and calendar data between your mac book and your mobile devices using USB cable.
I also heard that with Maverick and Itunes 11.1.2 you can not sync anything using USB anymore, is that true?
Why is it not possible to let the customer decide how to sync their data? Why not leaving both options?
In case it is true that with Maverick and Itunes 11.1.2 you are not able to sync using USB anymore, does anybody know a good app to sync your photos and address data between your computer and mobile devices?
How can I insure that my contacts and calendar data are NOT automatically synced with ICloud?
Yesterday I synced some Photos from my macbook to my IPad and wondered why I had the photos twice. I realized that my IPad had ICloud enabled, after disabling ICloud one picture folder (Photostream) was gone. What do do to avoid that my MacBook is sending Photos to ICloud?
However, when I opened ICloud today, I did not find photos, but I found some address data from my MacBook in the Cloud.
I do not want to have my contacts and calendar data anywhere else on a server.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Hark

Connect your phone to your computer using the USB power cable that you charge your phone with.
Launch iTunes, it will go thru the normal sync back up progress bar thing at the top, let it finish.
Then
double click on the phone in the left side bar then click INFO at the top of that pane, it will allow you select what you want to sync (contacts,calendar,etc) make your selections and click apply, then click sync. There buttons along the top for different functions (Movies, Apps, etc) just make sure that you do not have anything checked (like your whole music library) that will not fit on the phone.

My iMac and MacBook Calendar will no longer sync with iCloud. I don't understand why?

All of the sudden about 10 days ago, I noticed that when I asked to refresh my calendar, that it just hangs on both my iMac and my MacBook. And neither are syncing with iCloud calendar. I'm not certain if my iphone calendar is synching or not because nothing is getting transferred to my iMac or MacBook.
The system status says all is OK. My iCloud is still turned on for both computers. So I'm not sure what to do next.

Yes. iCloud on the web is correct although the latest stuff I added to my MacBook is not showing up because it won't sync.
In System Preferences iCloud is selected and they are turned on on both machines as always.
There are no other calendars linked to iCal. I just have a Home, Work, and Birthday and US Holidays all linked in.
I did try something on my MacBook that seemed to work. I went into System Preferences and turned off Calendars and Reminders in the iCloud setting. That prompted a message that all of the iCloud iCal data would be removed from the computer. I made sure the web version was accurate before I did this. Then I shut down my computer and restarted. When I restarted I went back into System Preferences and turned on Calendars and Reminders and now it seems to be working.
I'm about to try the same thing on my iMac.
If this works both times, my question then would be what would cause both my iMac and MacBook to disconnect as it seems from iCloud when I hadn't changed anything at all.

Why iPhone & MacBook don't sync messages?

Why iPhone & MacBook don't sync messages?

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

Reminders and Calendar not synced with iCloud

At some point, Reminders and Calendar no longer sync with iCloud. They were working fine when I first installed Mountain Lion (a fresh install on a new drive, not an upgrade with preferences from a previous install), but sometime recently they stoppped syncing. This may or may not have occurred when I updated to 10.8.2; I don't regularly use them, but when I do, I need the info synced.
Other programs work fine: Contacts, Notes, and Safari all sync with iCloud. I can create/update items on my iPhone, and it's reflected on my Mac, and vice-versa.
This is frustrating, especially because it was working well at one point. I've tried unchecking/re-checking the "Calendars & Reminders" option in the iCloud system preferences, as well as signing out and back in again. Each time, I've always chosen to delete the data on my Mac.
I'm out of ideas - short of a full reinstall, which isn't feasible. Has anyone else experienced this and solved it?

I have developed the same problem. Calendar and Reminders no longer sync, nor can I enter any new items via iCloud.com. My iPhone and BusyCal on my MAC no longer sync. I was tempted to try turning sync off on my MAC but, like you, got the warning that it was deleting all data on my MAC. So I backed off.
Using my MAC, I signed onto my wife's iCloud account and experienced no problem; all works as it should.
I keep sending the error messages to Apple. So far in the last two days they have not responded.

Getting iCal to sync with iCloud for two Macs, and a 3G iPhone

I currently have a Macbook and MacMini both running 10.7.2, and just started using iCloud this week to sync contacts, iCal, bookmarks, etc. I thought I initially had problems with iCal as I was getting two copies of every event showing up on my MacBook, but then realized I had two sets of calanders, ("on my mac" and "iCloud"). After I unchecked the "on my mac" calanders, everything appeared normal.
The problem I face now is with my 3G iPhone that can't run iOS5, and thus, no iCloud. My iCal on my iPhone is set to sync with my "on my mac" calanders, so with those unselected, the events are not showing up on my Macbook, and thus, aren't being synced to my MacMini.
My question is, can I have my 3G iPhone sync to my iCloud calanders everytime I connect it to my Macbook to sync via USB, instead of syncing with the "on my mac" calanders as it is currently doing without have iOS5 capabilities on my iPhone? If not, is there a way to have iCloud keep syncing with my "on my mac" calander list, so that it is always up to date, and data from my iPhone will be synced over to my iCloud calander list from the "on my mac" calander list?
I'm just trying to figure out if I'll be able to transfer new iCal dates I create on my 3G iPhone over to my iCloud calander list, and ideally, vice versa.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I understand that iCloud won't run on it or with it. I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way to sync the "on my mac" calanders (which sync to my iPhone iCal everytime I connect via USB) continually with my iCloud calandars so the two are always up to date.
