Icloud sync with ical

My iCal isn't syncing with my iCloud calendar. Everything else seems to be working.
Can someone help me with the settings maybe?

you can't use iCloud with 10.6.x.
If you stick with Snow, you can only use iTunes 10.5 to sync the iphone locally with Mac like you did in iOS4. Basically you miss all the icloud features by doing so.

Does icloud sync with ical like mobileme did?

I switched over to icloud. So far the ical has not synced, so the events we have on the ical on the computer have not appeared on the icloud calendar. Does the icloud calendar function sync with the ical function on the computer?

That is the problem, I'm afraid. Officially speaking, Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud, though you can set mail up manually to receive your iCloud email.
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and 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), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
(I have no connection with either firm.)

ICloud syncing with ical with Mountain Lion

I have one icloud calendar on one of my two new macs (MBA 2012 + MBP Retina both with Mountain Lion).
I have events in my calendar on one mac - the MBA. It does not sync to iCloud. I imported that calendar to my other mac successfully but when I refreshed it the calendar went blank just like the calendar on iCloud. How can I get iCloud to update itself?
NB It does it ok for mail and contacts/addressbook

Go to System Preferences>iCloud. You should be able to check which documents and settings you want stored in the cloud and you should be able to then automatically push the items to your iPhone.
From iCloud help:
"iCloud stores your content and wirelessly pushes it to your Mac, iOS devices, and PC. iCloud is built into your Mac apps, so they stay up to date with the apps on your other devices set up with iCloud and with the web apps on the iCloud website. Thereʼs no need to dock your iOS device or sync it to your computer."
Does it work for you?

Icloud not syncing with Ical on iphone4s

My ical (6 calendars) on my macbook pro is sycing fine when I check my ical on icloud.com
But, ical on my iphone 4s isn't matching what I have on icloud.com
All of my calendars seem to be syncing - except for one. The title of my calendar showing up on the calendar list - but NONE of the events are showing up. They are showing up on my macbook pro, as well as icloud.com - but not on my iphone.
I recently just fixed a battery drain issue with my iphone and realized it was from ical. But, now for some reason its not working right.
I have re-booted my phone, turned off icloud sync with ical multiple times, etc.
Let me know what you think.

Good Morning Mark,
Received your email, however I see that you also have resolved your own problem now. No worries but if it returns or I can help you with anything else please do not hesitate to contact me.

The calender on my iPhone 4 with iOS 6 no longer syncs with iCal 4.0.4 on my mac OS 10.6.8. However it is syncing with my iCloud account. Can someone help me with this?

FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

ICloud will sync with iCal & contacts on Mac but not iPhone or iPad

I just got a new iMac and set up my calendar and contacts, essentially entering everything from my old exchange server (going away from the PC). My iCloud syncs with the Mac, but every time I try with the iPhone or iPad it constantly is "searching" for the calendar and contacts, draining battery life. I have spent the last two days doing hard resets, wiping clean and doing a system restore for my iPhone and iPad (very frustrating!!) and doing both a system recovery AND installing everything manually. It is worth noting that iCloud worked on my iPhone and iPad BEFORE I set it up with the iMac and software is all up to date. I have also deleted the iCal, exported a copy and rebooted the reset up the iCloud account. Things always seem to work with the Mac, but not the mobile devices. Will apple care even be able to help? This is really frustrating as I have no contacts on my phone....

OKAY FOLKS, I found the answer. I figured the only explination could be with my iCloud Account. I tried EVERYTHING, read every discussion on this topic. It WASN'T b/c I had an old Mobile Me account. It WASN'T b/c I didn't have the sttings right. I rebooted, erased data, EVERYTHING. The only solution was to create a NEW iCloud account - I chose a new address through Apple (me.com). Even though I already have a me.com email address and a different Apple ID I figured starting fresh was the only way. Sadly, I lost all of my calendar data (when I tried to import my old calendar data from a backup it was associated with the old iCloud account and could not be edited) but my contacts were saved. I just re-entered my calendar information... figured this would be less time consuming than trying to reboot and research the issue 10 more hours!
Here are the steps I used:
1- iCloud was OFF on my iPhone to start
2- Export your iCal and iContacts data from your Mac to a backup (you WILL lose your data)
3- On iPhone went to Settings, iCloud and went through the proper steps to set up a new iCloud account with a NEW email address (me.com)
4- On iMac under System Preferences I deleted my OLD iCloud account (it will prompt you stating you will lose your data or you can merge/save). The only way I could get it to work was to accept the warning it was going to delete everything
5- Set up a NEW iCloud account on my Mac with the NEW me.com account I set up on my iPhone. Somehow my Contacts were kept in tact, uploaded to iCloud and to my iPhone. Had issues with my iCal data, but I entered all the information manually.
Everything is syncing great! Haven't set this up yet on my iPad but will do that next. I'm hopeful!!

Icloud not syncing with iCal

Hi everyone,
If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be very greatful. Nothing I do seems to solve my problem with syncing iCal with iCloud. Everything syncs fine with iCloud, across all iPad and iPhone products. Anything I change on iCloud does not however sync with iCal on my macbook pro (Lion 10.7.4 everything working fine).
I've checked all my settings on all my devices, found my library and deleted calendar folder restarted and all.
Any tips?

I've been having same issue.
Finally today followed iCloud Troubleshooting at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US . Quitting iCal then shutting down computer completely was biggest help amazingly. Also had to Refresh Calendars under View menu in iCal. All working now between Macbook Air, iPhone, and iPad. Good luck to you!

IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
Restarting iPhone
Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
Any help is appreciated.
Manolis

Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files. I"ll see if that works. ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

Events created on my iPhone 5 calendar are no longer syncing with iCal.

Events created on my iPhone 5 calendar are no longer syncing with iCal on my Macbook Pro (Lion OSX). It works fine the other way around.
I can't understand why, and cannot find a solution. Please help!

You can no longer sync via iTunes. That method of sync was removed (and the 1000+ post thread is arguments over things tangientally related to that).
You need to sync via other means than iTunes, then.
One option is to use iCloud. If you sign into iCloud on all your devices, and then make sure your calendars are in the "iCloud" section on your devices, they should sync.
If you don't want to use iCloud, you could use Google calendars, they operate much the same way (but may be less reliable).
Or if you use Exchange for work, you could sync that way.
Or if none of those are acceptable, you could install OS X Server and set up the calendar server on your local network and use it to sync. This is fairly straightforward "for setting up a UNIX calendar server" but it's not trivial and beyond the scope of a forum post to explain it all

IPhone 3GS calendar is no longer syncing with iCal

iPhone 3GS calendar is no longer syncing with iCal since upgrade to Lion. No issues prior to upgrade. Ideas?

I am having the same problem. I have snow leopard and since I upgraded to itune 5.0, I have had nothing but problems. In icloud, all of my events quadrupled which then caused all my ical events to do the same on my computer and phone. What a nightmare! The apple support guy had never seen anything like it! I have since cleaned up my calendar on both my phone and macbook, but now any event I add to my phone does not show up during sync. I noticed that when I go into mail, contacts, calendars and then go into my gmail account, the calendar button is set to off. If i try to switch it on, I get a message asking what I would like to do with the local calendars on my phone. I am afraid to do anything so I just cancel! Any thoughts? The calendar on my computer is current so I could always over write my phone during a sync--but still unsure. Thanks

Entourage no longer syncing with iCal..

Blackberry Torch won't sync with iCal

For some strange reason my Blackberry Torch will not sync with iCal. I have new items entered on iCal that don't tranasfer in spite of the fact that I have synced the phone with my Mac. I am running Lion, Blackberry desktop version 2.3.1 and I have iCloud turned off on my Mac. I have tried the Forget Device Option, deleted calendar items from iCal and set up a new calendar and imported events back in. Still no luck.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for your quick reply.
No I do not have iCloud enabled on the Mac OS.
I'm not sure how to clear out the calendar database. I have exported all existing information, then deleted the calendar and then created a new one with the same name. I have restored my Torch to factory settings, reinstalled everything and still no resolution.
I am not able to find any setting either in iCal preferences or in my Calendar Options on my Torch which would even give me the option of the calendar showing as read only.
At this point, if I enter something in Calendar on my Torch, it will sync with iCal but not the other way around. Contacts, Notes, and Tasks all sync fine both ways.
Hope that's helpful

Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email. I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

THANK YOU ithos!
I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together. Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays). My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars. I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life. I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac). So, staying Google - for now, is what I need.
I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons. Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff. So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well.
So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work.
For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
2. Open iCal on the Mac
3. Open your Google Calendar
4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts.
Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts. This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes. If yours lists something different, sorry. I don't know how to change it. But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.
5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to.
Where do you find this URL? I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works. Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar. This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes. As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to. I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
7. I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?" She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data. I smiled
This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud. It doesn't allow the info to go the other way.
It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar. But at least Siri can see what's already there. So, a step in the right direction.
Good luck!
