ICal not syncing with iCloud or iPhone

Hi,
I just got a new iPhone today and I am having trouble syncing my iCal to it. Prior to this I did not have an iCloud. I created one on iCloud.com but everything there is blank. The iCal on my laptop is full, but I don't see an option in preferences to sync with iCloud, only something about MobileMe. I don't really understand what I'm suppose to do. I've looked through many different forums about this, but nobody seems to talk about my specific problem. Ideas?
Side question... where is Facetime on the iPhone? I thought it was included, but I can't find it and it's not avilable through the app store.
Thanks!

Greetings,
If you are running OS X 10.6 or earlier on your computer you will want to either:
A. Sync your calendar using the USB cable and NOT use iCloud calendars (as iCloud requires Lion (10.7): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
B. Purchase and install Lion assuming your Mac meets the requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
If you are running 10.7 on your Mac (Check by going to Apple > About this Mac), reply back and we can suggest how to get the calendars on iCloud.
To your side question:
While this isn't the iPhone forum, your profile says you are using an iPhone 3G.  FaceTime for iOS is available on iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4 S and iPod touch (4th generation): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
Hope that information sheds some light.

  • ICal not syncing with iCloud and iPhone.

    Hi. I entered events in iCal on my laptop (It's old ... running 10.7.5), but they are not being sent to my iCloud account of my iPhone 4.
    I never had this problem until 2 weeks ago.
    HELP!
    THANK YOU.

    I figured out what was wrong.
    On my laptop, iCal menu> Calendar> Go Online was not selected.

    outlook not syncing with icloud on iphone?

    Also make sure you are using the same iCloud account on your PC and your iPhone.  Go to Settings/iCloud on your iPhone and check the account email address.  Then check the iCloud account on your PC.  If you have a Windows PC, click on the iCloud icon in your system tray to see what icloud email account you are logged into.
    I changed the email on my iPhone and. iPad, but forgot to change the email on my PC and my calendars wouldn't sync.  It finally dawned on me that I forgot to change the account on my PC.

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars into icloud? i'm not a very savy person when it comes to these issues. when i entered a appointment in my iphone, i can see it appear in the icloud calendar in the outlook but not the otherway.
    or is it possible for outlook to accept invitations of appointment directly into icloud calendar in outlook?

  • ICal not syncing on iCloud from iPhone to MacBook

    Recently noticed that new entries on my iCal on iPhone are not syncing on iCloud with the iCal details on my MacBook. No problem the other way (initial entry on MacBook syncing with iPhone) or indeed any other apps / Mail / Contacts etc. Have checked all items are 'on' in systems preferences and have re-booted the iPhone - to no avail.  
    Any suggestions?

    I followed the steps Ticklesneezer suggested (disable 'Calendars' in iCloud, reboot each machine, re-enable 'Calendars' in iCloud, starting with iPhone), and it did not work.
    I think it has to do with the fact that I just started syncing my iMac calendar about a month ago. Since then, the following has occurred:
    - For iCloud entries: new entries sync fine, but older entries (older than one month) only show up on my iMac, not on my iPhone -- and those are the entries I actually created on my iPhone, so they appear to have been added to the iMac and deleted from the iPhone. I checked to make sure that the older entries are in the iCloud calendar, and they are.
    - For Exchange entries (the calendar synced through my Outlook mail account from work): new entries sync fine, but older entries (older than one month) only show up on my iPhone, not on my iMac.
    I need to be able to access the older entries from both devices.
    Any other suggestions?

    That and other issues will happen if one tries to use a unsupported system with new services / software that was never designed for the system in use.
    Apple clearly says you need Lion 10.7.2. How on earth can you expect that it would work in 10.6.2 ??

  • Contacts on PC do not sync with icloud/ipad/iphone

    I have a PC (Windows 7) and Outlook 2010. My contacts do not update on my ipad/iphone/icloud.com when I make an entry or changes in Outlook, and they don't update in Outlook when I make changes or entries on my devices/icloud.  However the devices/icloud are syncing with one another.  I need the contacts on my PC to be part of the sync but it won't work.  And photos only randomly sync up to my PC.  What's the secret here?????  Thank you!!

    This step is not clear:
    "Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Outlook requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers."
    The link takes me to an Apple page but which has nothing to do with ports.  And there is nothing to explain what it is I am looking for, how to look for it, and how to change it if needed.
    Also, this step:
    "Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices."
    iCloud automatically set up a "[email protected]...." account for me so I see that one plus my original email used to open my Apple account.  And the apple products show my settings under both identities.
    Make sure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook
    This add-in is disabled because it doesn't allow Outlook to function properly.
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • IMac calendar does not sync with iCloud or iPhone 6.  All devices are Yosemite and IOS 8 latest upgrades.

    Tried to turn on everything relevant on iCloud and iPhoto, and synced everything in iTunes in iCloud and my iMac, but nothing in the iMac Calendar goes to either.

    I have solved the problem by moving files on my calendar from "On My Mac" to "iCloud" and everything now works.

  • My iphone is not syncing with iCloud

    Hi, i have just noticed (it may have been going on for a few weeks) that my iPhone 4 (IOS6) will not sync with icloud.  This has not been a problem in the past.  If I put a new event on the phone, it is not shown on icloud and vice-versa.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Try Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [scroll down to the Contacts area] > Default Account.
    Is this set to "iCloud"?
    Do you have such a setting (Default Account)?  Frankly, I don't ... all my contacts have been in iCloud (only) for years.  But I'm thinking you do have this setting based on this article:

    If calendar events on your iPhone do not appear in your calendar on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or and exchange account.

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

    Hi Daniel Stonek,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your iPhone's calendar events are not syncing properly to other devices, I would use the iOS section of this article to troubleshoot:
