Icloud calendar: issues syncing between devices

I have an iCloud account which is sycned with my Outlook 2010 and Android calendar. It is not smooth sailing:
Appointments made in my phone appear in my Android Calendar and Outlook
Appointments made in my Android calendar appear in my phone and iCloud but not Outlook
BUT appointments from Outlook do not appear anywhere else.
So the syncng is happening correctly in some directions but not all.
I have dis- and re-connected iCloud in Windows 8/OUtlook 2010 several times and this is not resolving itself.
Can anyone suggest a way to get Outlook to talk nicely to iCloud in both directions?
Thanks in advance for advice,
Jo

ICloud Calendars not syncing between devices at all

Simply put, newly added events either on my macbook pro running Yosemite or my iPhone 5s running iOS 8 will not sync to iCloud and show on my other devices. I've tried everything including restarting devices, unchecking/checking iCloud calendar options, signing out/back in to my iCloud account, nothing will resolve this issue and i can't find any related posts.

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

HT204053 ok folks , icloud has ceased syncing between devices and i do not know why

shortly after upgrading my desktop to lion , all my devices seem to have disconnected from each other , Itunes is the only thing that continues to push new material to the other devices . I am such a mac challenged person i don't know how to fix the issue .

You say you told your iPhone to backup to iCloud and it took a while and reported it finished. Backing up your iPhone to iCloud shouldn't change anything on your iPad, so I'm not sure what you are saying didn't work. I sync my contacts, calendars, and all between my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 all the time with no problems. This has nothing to do with backups.

Calendars not syncing between different devices or iCloud!

Will I be able to disable the automatic icloud sync between devices?

What I want to know from looking at the keynote speech it looks like if I buy a song on my phone or ipad it will also get downloaded to my son's iphone even though he may not want the sond and vice versa. I hope there will be a way to disable the automatic sync between devices because in theory it sounds good but when you have several ios devices in the family they usually don't want to have the same music that I listen too. I have a MBA, Iphon4, and Ipad and would not mind all of them syncing together but my son's iphon 3GS does not need to be synced with the other devices. I didn't hear anything about being able to disable it and if someone knows can they let the rest of us know. Thanks.

Yes you can disable it. Also since it's free for all of those services, and you want different content on your devices, you could just setup an Apple ID for your son so that their content will be synced among their devices and you can still benefit from all the iCloud goodness. The only downfall to this is that the content that you may want to share would have to be purchased twice. I'm hoping they add support for "Family Groups" for iCloud services so you can have a shared Apple ID for content on up to 10 devices while also giving the flexibility for having sub-ID's to differentiate who's devices are who's.
That is exactly what I am talking about. I know you can share your purchases through several devices and some of the app store stuff my son and I share with no problem. I just hope that sharing is ok. Also using picture flow could be bad too. What if I want to take a picture that I don't want on any other device. This is all good but sounds like they didn't think this through all the way before implementing it. I am a mobileme subscriber and have been for 2 years and I liked iDisk. There was nothing wrong with the way it worked as I could set up iDisk only on my devices and my son's would not be affected. Like I said good idea but for some of us we may not want stuff out on the cloud automatically.
Also I can see some folks up in arms about privacy issues just like they did with the tracking issue. I am thinking I will turn this service off on all my devices until I get more information about it after it is implemented.

How often iCloud sync between devices takes place?

Previously on Mobile Me, sync between devices (of contacts, bookmarks, etc...) was automatic and there was an option to trigger a sync manually. The automatic mode was very fast, and updates would occur in a matter of a minute or less.
With iCloud I can't find an option to intiate a sync. And automatic sync seems to take ages, sometimes hours.
It can cause problems, for example, I go out to an important meeting and I update the meeting address on my mac's calendar. Then on the way to the meeting I refer to my iPhone to check the details, but 15-30 minutes later they are still not there.
Does anyone else experience this slowness in updating, and has anyone found a way to force a sync?
thanks!

To refresh on Mac iCal: View > Refresh all (see screen shot).
To refresh on iOS devices I find that to quit and reboot the app usually speeds things up (double tap home button > press and hold app in question > tap red minus that appears > then reopen from home screen).

HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

Big trouble after upgrade 10.10 and 4.0: No sync Calendar and Contacts between devices and users

Hello,
it is a big trouble after upgrade 10.10. an 4.0 (i paid 18 € again!):
After the update no sync between devices an user for calendar and contacts possible. Asking a password?
No device manger started. Error code -1!; Open Directory Service no started.
Help?

I ended up exporting all the outlook data to CSV, creating a new PST and reimporting the data. Calendar sync now works, but I sure do hope I don't have to redo this every week.

My ipad has stopped syncing my calendar. Both iPhone and ipad. After going to the setting - mail, contacts,calendar my Ipad has no where under the calendar category for default calendar. How can I get my calendar to sync between iPhone and ipad???

Up until recently my calendar were syncing (between my iPhone 4 & ipad mini). They are no longer synching. I have searched and everything matches to all the resolutions, the problem is on my ipad under Calendars in the settings there is no option for "default calendar". Every other option matches to what is on my phone, just the default calendar option is missing. The default email is the same for both. Help!!!!
Thank you

An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too). But not to the iPad. Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC. "icloud is still faulty"
So there we are! I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office.

Any way start over from scratch to fix iCloud calendar issues in Outlook 2010?

I'm suddenly having perplexing iCloud calendar issues in Outlook. Forget the hundreds and hundreds of duplicate entries for birthdays and holidays, and the thousands of duplicate contacts - I've just been manually deleting them from Outlook. I also tried manually deleted iCloud files from iCloud on outlook, but this does not seem to affect what is on iCloud itself. I've now got an issue where if I add an appointment on my iPhone, it appears on Icloud but not in Outlook 2010 even though the iPhone calendar is displayed in Outlook. iPad appointments show up on iPhone, iCloud and Outlook. iCloud entered appointments show up on iPhone, and iPad and Outlook. Of course it is maddening that there is a separate calendar for each (there is only one of me, so why a separate calendar in Outlook for every source is beyond me). How can I get my iPhone to start showing up again in Outlook? Another issue is that now every time I click on calendar in Outlook, it takes 2-3 minutes to display the calendar because iCloud seems to be syncing. I'm assuming this is because there a so many duplicates. I've removed Icloud from Outlook. Ran a repair on Outlook. Uninstalled iCloud. Reinstalled. Re-added to outlook., but the issue is never fixed. I'm considering make a brand new Apple ID and abandoning my current one, but that means I have to change my iPad, iCloud, iPhone, family iPhones, Outlook, readd credit card, reload all of the data. That's a pain. I sure would be nice to have a simple way of editing the iCloud data and adding devices (and having a more descriptive source name would be even better).

I found sync options under "info"
I was looking to sync the information from the phone back into outlook, It looks like these options will sync what is on outlook into the phone..
I wanted to export from the phone (which has all of the old appointments and updated contacts) , back into outlook
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Game progress not being synced between devices

I have an iPad 2 and iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.3) and my game progress isn't being synced between devices. Both use the same Game Centre account and I have iCloud correctly set up on both devices. I do understand that some games don't support this feature but I have many games that definitely do yet they still don't sync. I did notice games that save data in the "Documents & Data" section do actually sync my progress between devices, but games like Cut the Rope, Where's my Water etc don't. I've tried searching online to find a fix for this issue but I can't find anything. Hopefully someone here has experienced the same thing and might be able to help, any help would be very much appreciated.

Are all games supposed to save data there?
Only the games that are compatible. Most aren't
That is why I referred you to their support. It can be happening by connecting to itunes, by connecting to game server, by connecting to Facebook, all depends on particulars of that game.

Can't get my calendars to sync between IPhone & IPad.

I can't get my calendars to sync between my IPhone & IPad, some advise please.

Do you have an iCloud account and use the same one on each device? Have you turned on iCloud in settings:iCloud? Have you turned on syncing calendars in the same setting?

ICloud no longer syncs with devices.

iCloud no longer syncs with devices. Error message reads "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "setup.icloud.com" which could put your confidential information at risk." I am not positive if this issue coincides with the update to OS6.0.

How nice. Thanks for sharing that with us. Do you have a question you would like to ask?

Ibooks pdfs do not sync between devices?

Is Ibooks supposed to sync between devices?

Is this really the case? I'm getting more and more disenchanted with my iPad. It's implied in all the advertising that iCloud will 'magically' make sure everything stays synched between your devices. But is it actually true that the pdfs I have saved in a collection on my iPad (which were downloaded from any old website), will not sync to my mac at all? How is this helpful in any way? I've got 'sync all books' selected in itunes on the mac, and 'sync collections' selected in the settings on all my devices.
Edited to add: they don't sync over iCloud or when i have the iPad connected by cable, if that was not clear.
Quite frankly, this is rubbish and in my opinion, blatant false advertising. Is there some annoyingly cumbersome workaround I can use??
