Ical in icloud

downloaded icloud to Mac & iphone.  Events entered on iphone ical will not push to Mac ical, but events entered on Mac ical will push to iphone?

I was having the same problem with syncing my calendar to my imac and mac book.  Then somewhere (it's been a few days) I saw that I actually hadn't set up my iMac for ICloud.  I was told to go to apple icon, System Peferences, then icloud, then set things up.  I thought by going to iTunes, and setting things on my iPhone I was good to go.  After I followed the above steps I WAS good to go.  All three of my devices have been syncing correctly.  I don't know what happened to the appts. that got eaten, but at least new stuff is okay.  Hope this helps.

  • Suddenly, events entered in Calendar on iPhone are not showing up in iCal or iCloud

    Until late November, i had an iPhone 4s with iOS 5.   Then i got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.  As previously, when i would enter an event in the Calendar, that data would also show up in my iCal calendar and on my iCloud calendar, until the last couple of days.  Now, new entries are not showing up on iCal or iCloud.  I encountered the problem that my iPhone, 64G, is being backed up to the iCloud and after two backups, taking up 2.4G each, my 5G of iCloud storage was used up.  I speculated that this was why my phone data stopped syncing to the other calendars on the computer and cloud, though i did not know for sure.  I deleted one of the two back ups and am about to delete the other one.  I have never had this problem of running out of iCloud storage on my other phone.  According to Settings>iCloud>Storage, i had 89MB.  But since i have deleted one of the 2.4G backups (which was "incomplete") my new entries are still not showing up in iCal and on the iCloud.
    Is there a way to get this feature to work again?
    Are there things i can check or uncheck in settings or in Calendar or  ??   that will get this to work well as it did in iOS 5?

    ckuan -  thank you for replying.  i am really desperate for help.  I have wasted so much time on this. I was on hold with Apple support for a long time and then had a call with a rep that lasted over an hour but he didn't know anything about issues of these kinds.  i was put on hold a lot while he consulted.  He did agree that the data wasn't syncing from iPhone to iCloud and iCal because the iCloud storage was used up by the iPhone back ups.  So he advised deleting one of them.  I now have 2.4G of storage on iCloud.  Am i wrong to think that should be enough?   I still ave the original complete back up (2.4g) undeleted, in case there some reason that i need it. i don't like deleting things i don't have a good understanding of.
    Following your instructions, i went to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.  I then scrolled down to Calendars and at the bottom, i see where it says Default Calendar.  This raised new questions for me which i will ask you/others now:
    On the Default Calendar page, there is a heading that says iCloud and there is a second heading that says my gmail email address, [email protected].  Under the iCloud heading, there is a list of 8 "calendars," called Work, Family, Pets, Home, etc.  Under the gmail address heading, there is only one option listed, which is my gmail username.  When i went to the Default Calendar option, as i think you suggested if i understood you right, i found that the Calendar with the checkmark next to it was the gmail user name, under the gmail address heading.  Presumably, this is the same setting i had on my 4s with iOS 5.
    I wanted to follow your instruction to change this to iCloud as Default Calendar. but the only option i have is to choose only one of those 8 "calendars," either Work, or Pets, or Home, etc.  Does this make sense?   The only reason i know for having these many different calendars was to give different colors to the different event categories. I didn't really want them to be separate calendars. i just wanted to use the color coding for type of event in my overall calendar.
    I don't know why this is suddenly so complicated and confusing, after working fine  for the first two or three weeks i've had the new iPhone.  Suddenly, when i enter events in Calendar, it's not reaching the cloud.  If this is because my gmail and/or google user name was checked as the default calendar, that was not a setting i would've recently changed.  I never would  have set my iPhone to only use one of the iCloud sub-calendars at my default calendars.
    But right now, per your instructions, i have checked Settings>Mail.Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendar to iCloud>Home (Home being one of my 8 sub-calendars).  When i look on the Mail,Contacts,Calendars setting list, under Default calendar, it now says Home, instead of my gmail username.  Just to be clear, there is no way to check iCloud on the Default Calendar page.  i have tried checking it, but it's just a somewhat grayed out heading and doesn't respond to attempts to check it, it's not offered as a Calendar option. Only the various sub-calendars are offered a default calendar options, under the grayed out iCloud heading.  So, i selected Home, for no particular reason. i have lots of entries under different categories.
    Here is the result:   still no new entries showed up in iCloud or iCal.  In January, a couple of days ago,  i entered three dental appointments, for which i have always used Health as what i thought was a category (not a separate  "calendar").  The color of Health events is green.  The color of Home events is Blue.  After changing the Default Calendar from gmail email address>user name to iCloud>Home (blue), the dental appointment in January did not show up.  But when i went into the first dental appointment event>edit and changed the "calendar" to Home, it then showed up on the calendar.  The other two dental appointments which were still Health did not show up. 
    Then, i changed the first dental appointment that is showing up in January back to Health (green).  It still shows up, now, colored green, even though Home/blue is now my default calendar.  But the two other dental appointments are not showing up.
    Does this mean if want to use my Calendar and have the data backed up in iCloud and iCal, from now on, i need to use only one sub calendar and give up  using the different color codes because iOS 8 is forcing me to choose only one sub calendar to be my whole calendar, and the only way to use different colors for different categories of events would be to first enter it as the default sub calendar (such as dental appointment>Home), and then go back and edit it into the correct sub calendar (such as changing it to the correct category, Health) to show the correct one instead of the "default" one?
    Why was this made so much more difficult and complicated than it used to be?  It was working normally up  until a couple of days ago.
    What i need, if possible, is info on what setting i can use to go back to using my gmail address user name as my default calendar, so that it can just work properly as it did before.  It seems ridiculous that i am forced by iCloud to use a sub category as my default calendar and everything that isn't entered as that subcategory will not be processed in iCloud.  Why does iCloud provide these sub calendar category options at all, if it's going to force people to only be able to use one of them?
    What am i missing here?
    Is there a setting that would enable combining all subcategories as one calendar, called iCloud, but where i could still use the different colors for different categories?  

  • When I update a recurring event on my iPhone, it does not make changes to the calendar in ical or icloud.  Is anyone else having this issue?

    Updating a recurring event on my iPhone does not update the event in either ical or icloud.  If I add a new event on the iPhone it updates right away.  Is this a known problem?  Should I get rid of the recurring event and just make changes day to day manually?  I like having the recurring event set for my work schedule because it rarely changes, but when it does, I'd like to use my iPhone for the updates instead of carrying around my MAC Book all the time.
    Thank you!

    After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

  • Where are my attachments in iCAL under iCloud

    I just switched on iCloud and noticed that all my attachments on previous iCAL entries are GONE.  Also, if I add a new entry in iCAL now, I cannot attach a file.  How can I get this back?  I have a lot of files (PDF) that are date sensative that were attached to specific dates in iCAL.  I like most everything else about iCLOUD but this is is major pain.  How can I get my iCAL attachments back?  I can forgo iCAL in iCLOUD any suggestion as to how to get my ical attachments back? 

    Are you talking about "Gallery" albums?
    If so they are not stored anywhere in iCloud.

  • 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.

  • HT4910 I need to find the file location for my iCal in iCloud

    I need to find the file location for my iCal in iCloud for my Mac. I inadvertently changed the file location in Terminal and need to restore the proper location but do not know how to locate that information. Any help is much appreciated,

    You should find "Preferences" in your Edit menu in iTunes.

  • 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 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.)

  • 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 ??

  • TS3999 Can you sync your iCal to iCloud?

    I've been trying to sync my iCal to my iCloud and it's not letting me do that. It keeps telling me that my iDisk isn't available and when I go sign in to it, it keeps telling me that my username and password are wrong. Help please!

    You cannot sync iCal to iCloud with anything earlier than 10.7.2. If you have Snow Leopard you may be able to do it by means of this unsupported hack (no guarantees) but you will not be able to do it with any earlier system. You will not be able to sync Contacts (though again there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book - and as not working by others: I've not tried it). iCloud's other facilities will not work.
    Also, your email will stop working at some point: you need to set Mail up manually following the instructions in the one of these links which is applicable to your system:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

  • ICal and iCloud not syncing

    Since migrating over to iCloud, my iCal entries aren't syncing with my iPhone. I'm getting a message saying - The calendar https://cal.me.com:8443/principals/users/1.122543010/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.
    How do I sort this out?
    many thanks

    Your signature says you have 10.6.4 - this is not compatible with iCloud. However it is possible to set Mail up manually for iCloud email, and there is an unsupported hack which may enable to sync iCal with iCloud.
