Ical calendar on my mac not synching with iCloud

icloud calendars is checked in system preferences, however my ical appears empty on my macbook pro. Why is my iphone calendar not synching with ical in macbook pro even though icloud preferences are properly set up?

I wish I'd found this earlier.  Here's some info that takes Winston's solution a bit further:
I just spent a bunch of time with Apple and have solved my similar problem.  A week ago, iCal and my iPhone calendar stopped syncing.  My assortment of iCal calendars were gone from iCloud, so that was the problem (not phone to iCloud).  After much de-selecting and re-selecting, I realized that all my important calendars were @me.com type.  I tested the iCloud calendars, and they functioned perfectly.  Apple explained a simple way to migrate the @me.com calendars to iCloud:
Create a new iCloud calendar     File > New Calendar > iCloud
Name the calender
Right click the old @me.com calendar and choose Export.  Desktop is a good destination.
Drag the exported calendar from your desktop to the new iCloud calendar
iCal should show duplicates of all events in the @me.com calendar.
De-select the @me.com calendar.  The duplicates will disappear.
Repeat with all the @me.com calendars and abandon this antiquated list.
Rejoice in your shiny new list of iCloud calendars that shows up everywhere it is supposed to.
There must be a lot of people out there who still have @me.com calendars, so I hope this info reaches them before they all spend time and money with Apple trying to sort it out.

  • Does Mac Outlook synch with iCloud?

    After spending a couple of hours at Genuis bar and another 90 minutes on the phone with tech support, I wanted to let the community know that Mac Outlook does not synch with iCloud.  The calendar and contact updates go into a "on the Mac" part of iCal and Address Book respectively.  The updates in these sections do not get synched up to iCloud and therefore to your mobile devices. 
    As I had searched for an answer to this question on the web previously and did not find any entry so I wanted to ensure that others looking for answer can get it (without tying up Apple's tech support resources).  The extra time that I spent was trying to remove and resynch these databases before finding someone who knew the answer.
    For calendar activities, you can reclass them into an iCloud category manually.  For contact update, you have to also put them into the Address Book.
    I hope this helps.  Hopefully, Apple provides the access and Microsoft implements the code required to synch these services.

    Thank you so much for unequivocally clearing this up! I have spent the last few days trying to work this out as I found it insane that I can easily sync Outlook (2007 I think it is) on my PC with the iCloud but couldn't get it to work on my husbands Outlook for Mac 2011.
    I hope people find your post first rather than wading through a million other posts in utter frustration like I did! Whilst it's still frustrating at least I have some peace that I'm not missing something.
    Thanks again!

  • My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

    Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4.  Any idea what I should do?

    I can't figure out what's going on.  Been working on this all day.  Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything.  The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list.  I use quickbooks 2012 for mac.  It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac.  If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac.  But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone.  If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book.  It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks.  No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone.  It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks.  I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

  • IPhone 4 not synching with iCloud or Macbook

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4 that is not synching with iCloud correctly.  For contacts there is over 500 on my phone and only 41 in my iCloud.  Also, there is a similar issue when I synch through iTunes (10.7 version 21).  I run a MacBook with Snow Leapord.  Any ideas on what I must do?
    Thanks!

    Suggest a small trial - create on the Computer a small playlist of Songs - using the iPhone on local WiFi select the playlist scroll to the end and select the option to 'download all' - you should find that the Songs are immediately available for playing on the iPhone.
    If the trial does not work there is a more serious issue ... do post back the progress you make.

  • Numbers not synching with iCloud

    Dear Apple
    Numbers on my iOS devices and my iMac do not synch with iCloud.  I have been struggling with this issue for 2 months.  When oh when will Apple fix this.
    My decides:
    iMax iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1(14B25)
    iPad series 2 running iOS 8.1.1
    iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.1
    Help please as the only way i can work is to use my iPhone only at present.
    spiral_arm

    Dear Apple
    Do I really think you read the message above...well no I don't think you have the time.  However, the problem seems now to be fix.  Last evening the iMac and iPhone started to be in sych and I fully tested changes in both directions. At that time the iPad was still not synched.  This morning the set of files that the iPad was looking at seemed to be more up to date.  I then started my iMac and ran the iTunes synch again for the iPad and iPhone.  Magically all devices are now in synch. No time to test that changes from the iPad now but I believe all will now be well. How odd!

  • IPhone and iCal calendars all of sudden not synching

    All of a sudden when I try to synch my iPhone it get's stuck for hours trying to synch the calendars. In iTunes it shows "Synching calendars with iPhone" and just goes and goes and goes like this FOREVER. Everything else synchs fine. If I uncheck "synch iCal calendar" in iTunes, everything else synchs in a snap as usual. Same thing happens when my husband tries to synch his phone.
    Any tips or tricks I can try?
    Thanks!
    Keely

    One thing that might help.
    On your mac, create a new login.
    Close itunes.
    Log into the new account.
    open ical and enter a test event.
    open itunes and go through the initial setup.
    Connect the iphone.
    Control click on the iphone under devices and choose back up. (create a safety net for yourself.)
    Now sync only calendars. You should get a message to merge data and about modifying more then 5% of the data on the computer.
    If the issue persists there could be an issue with the content on the iphone.
    If the sync goes fine, there could be an issue with the content in ical on the original account.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

    Hope this helps.

  • IMac contacts do not synch with iCloud, iPhone & iPad contacts do

    When I add/modify contacts on my MacBook Pro, the changes do not synch to iCloud, or my iPhone or iPad.  Calendar items and iCloud mail do synch and contactys synch between my iPhone and iPad.  What am I missing?  I have Lion.

    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.

  • Pages on iPad not synching with iCloud

    I have iCloud set up on my iPad. I have iCloud turned on in Pages. However, none of my files are uploading. All the Apple IDs and passwords are fine. Could it be I don't have the cellular plan turned on? I rely on my home wifi network.

    OK... here's the low-down from Apple-care.  They put out the update, but it will cause pages (and keynote?, and ???) not to synch with iCloud.  They knew it... they put it out anyway, and it won't be fixed until they do the new, free update to Yosemite sometime later this month.  I did find an end-around though.  E-mail your document to yourself and open it up in pages.  Pain in the posterior... and certainly not Apple-Tech, but it is a workable solution until they fix their blunder.  Oh... did you update your iPad to 8.0.1 and it mess you up?  They pulled that and sent out 8.0.2.  Wow... I'd think i was back in PC land... Not cool.

  • Safari 7 Bookmarks and Read List Not Synching with iCloud

    Safari does not synch bookmarks or reading list with iCloud.  Cloud tabs does work. Everything else works. 
    When I turn the sync setting on/off in iCloud (control panel) it asks me if I want to merge and I say yes each time.  No change.  I can add bookmarks normally.
    I did the checklist Apple suggests - and made sure I was linked to teh right account, have internet access, ect... The only thing I can not confirm is port numbers - but this machine is at work, next to my other iMac that is working perfectly (on Mavs too)
    So far I've done each of these 2-5 times each:
    Restarted
    Reset all in Safari Pref
    Cleared all extensions
    Unlinked my iCloud account in Control Panel>iCloud - Safari
    Unlinked the entire account and deleted everything (3 times)
    Deleted all traces of Safari; library, plsit, etc. (except the program - not allowed)
    re-linked to Keychain (3 times)
    Out of ideas
    Any suggestions appreciated
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Having the same problem as you David, I've just about gone nuts trying to solve it but Bookmarks and Reading Lists are not syncing across my iPad Mini, iPhone and Mac. When I've dug into the console files on my Mac it's reporting that the SafariDAVClient is crashing like a fiend, seems to be trying to access a file that either doesn't exist or was moved o_O
    Anyone have any ideas? I've also resorted to Apple's recommendations as well as to solutions posted around the forums, with no luck whatsoever. I've even edited and purged my bookmarks down to only the stuff I really think I should keep. Also tried to keep it empty and adding a fresh new bookmark. Nada...

  • IPod not synching with iCloud

    Hi.

  • Mac not synced with iCloud (iPad/iphone)

    Nothing is synced with the new install of ML.  I've updated apps, made sure i'm signed in icloud but i can't seem to get anything to work.
    EX: when i click on the cloud icon near the address bar, it just says that it will show open tabs on other iOS devices.  i have open windows, but it doesn't work
    Also, Pages is fully updated, but when i make a change on my mac, it will not show up on my ipad.
    any suggestions?  what did i miss?
    thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • Ipad and mac not syncing with icloud

    I am unable to sync my photos and contacts from my ipad with my Mac through icloud. The ipad and mac both have the latest update.

    For icloud email on your device, you must have icloud turned on, but also have the Mail app set up to connect to icloud.  In Settings>Mail, Contacts,...  look in the Mail section under Accounts.  You must set up your icloud email account there in order to use the Mail app to read and send emails.

  • Missing iCal calendars on my Mac after upgrade to iCloud

    I realise this is probably a very simple problem to those of you with a greater understanding of syncing and iCloud than I have.
    I switched from MobileMe toiCloud last night. Everything seems to be working, except that all the iCal entries on my iMac have disappeared, although they appear perfectly on iCloud and on the family iPhones.
    How can I get them back on the iMac, too?

    And with impeccable timing, I've worked it out for myself just minutes after posting the request for help. So much for patience.
    In case anyone else is having the problem, it involves starting up iCal, going to Preferences ... Accounts ... selecting iCloud in the drop-down menu that appears, and then entering your iCloud account name and password.
    Simple.
