IPhone 5, iCloud calendar reminder issue

When I use the iCloud calendar on my iPhone 5 and make an event with a reminder set to "on time of event", it will sometimes just beep and flash a notice on lock screen for a few seconds and then the notice disappear from lockscreen.
Sometimes though, everything works as it should and the notice is still there on lockscreen till I unlock the screen (or the event is over).
All settings in notice center and mail/calendar is correct.
When I use google calendar it always works!
The problem was there from iOS 6.0 and is still there after update to 6.1
I have been in contact with apple support who couldn't find any help at the moment.
More people seem to have this according to this site: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6/244349-ios-6-calendar-reminder-issues.html

Update: The problem occurs when I have connected my iCloud acount with calendar enabled on my iMac.
It's like the iPhone 5 thinks I have seen the notice on my iMac and therefore removes it from the phone.
This happens even if my iMac is locked/lockscreen.

IPhone4 to iCloud Calendar Synch Issues

I have an iPhone 4 and have recently setup an iCloud account to synch my calendar and contacts. Contacts are OK. Calendar OK on iPhone, but I have quite a few missing entries in iCloud (verified by browser on iCloud.com). Is there a way to force a re-synch? Thanks...

Thanks Winston,
I am starting to see a pattern...If, as you suggest, I make sure the calendars I am using are only in my 'iCloud' account (by clicking the Calendars button in the top left corner of the iPhone Calendar application), then the iPhone Calendar and the iCloud Calendar (via icloud.com on a browser) appear to be in synch. However, I note that I have (consistent) missing entries across my iPhone and iCloud.
I used to back-up my iPhone calendar to my Mac iCal app, via iTunes.
It is clear to me that the missing entries are on (or are assumed to be on) the Mac calendar, because if I switch the 'From My Mac' calendar on (on my iPhone), then the iPhone calendar entries are correct but I am then back to having missing calendar entries in iCloud. Prior to your helpful comments, the ‘Calendars’ checked on my iPhone were the ‘From My Mac’ and the ‘iCloud’ ones. Also, I am fairly sure that that I had the iPhone Default calendar setting as ‘From My Mac’ for a while.
I no longer use the Mac iCal app, as my iPhone calendar back-up is taken care of via iCloud (or will be when I get it all working!).
I do not currently synch my Mac iCal calendar with iCloud. Is this the only way to get everything working properly or is there a more simple approach?
I am guessing that the best approach would be to synch the iPhone to the Mac’s iCal calendar via iTunes. Then, delete the calendar entries on iCloud and the iPhone. Next, re-synch the Mac’s iCal calendar to the iPhone, via iTunes. Finally, remove all Mac calendar settings from the iPhone and synch the iPhone calendar to iCloud, with the default calendar being iCloud.

ICloud Calendar Time Issues

Does iCloud not know there is a 1 hour time difference between Brisbane and Sydney, every year between October and April ???
My iPhone and iPad calendars are 1 hour out from iCloud calendar when signed in on Mac, despite being set to Brisbane Time. My Mac has the correct time also. When I re set it using the little map it just keeps defaulting to Sydney, Eastern Standard Time and changing the times I have entered by one hour ? I will contact Apple tomorrow or am I missing something obvious here ?

Try adding a new event on your phone then check your calendar on icloud.com from a computer to see if the event appears there. If not, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar. Here, make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your defult (and not something else like On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo, an exchange account calendar, etc.) After setting your iCloud calendar as your default, try adding an event again to see if it appears on icloud.com now.
If your default account setting is correct and it still doesn't sync to icloud.com, add any missing events from your phone's calendar to icloud.com. After the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, on your phone go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On. Then try adding a new event on your phone again and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
Once you phone is syncing properly, go through these same steps on your iPad.

IPhone, Google & iCloud contact syncing issues

Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues getting my contacts synced correctly between my iPhone and Google account. I have searched a few forums looking for an answer for this particular problem and haven't found a solution yet so my apologies if I'm just missing something here.
I have always synced my contacts via my Gmail account. In my Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars section, I have iCloud set up and then Gmail set up through Exchange for Contacts ONLY. If I added a contact on my iPhone, it would always sync directly to my Gmail Contact Manager. I only noticed that there is an issue all of a sudden because I was given an iPad mini as a gift recently and noticed that not all of my contacts synced. I checked my Gmail Contact Manager this seems to be because any of the contacts I have added on my iPhone since probably last December are NOT listed. If I log into iCloud and check my contacts there, the only contact listed is me as I have always only had contacts listed which are from my Google account.
If I go into my Contacts app and hit Groups at the top left, all I see is Gmail/Exchange, Contacts (checked), Gmail/Exchange Global Address List (unchecked - if I try to click this no contacts appear at all), iCloud, All iCloud (checked). If I go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll down to the Contacts section, the Default Account is listed as Gmail/Exchange. I have tried clicking "Import SIM Contacts" to no avail, changing the Default Account and clicking and unclicking Groups.
Where are the contacts I have added since December(ish) being stored? If they're not in my Google contacts nor in iCloud? How can I make them sync to my Google account again? Is there a way to "push"(?) everything to Google that I'm missing?
Thank you all in advance!

Best way is to use a 3rd party app managing groups. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.
Launch it, all your groups will automatically appear
Tap on "Edit"
Tap on red cross next to the groups you want to delete

Ios 5.1.1 ipad 2 iphone 4 icloud calendar sync oneway only

IPhone to Exchange calendar sync issues

OK, I have read through many posts on here, but have yet to find a post that describes my situation. If someone has seen this answered in other places, please let me know.
I currently have the following setup:
iPhone 2.2.1, using OTA sync with Exchange
Entourage 2008 (not Outlook/Windows)
Exchange server 2007 (at work, I am not the guy who runs it)
My mail and contacts work fine.
CALENDAR issue for me is something I can't quite wrap my head around:
I get syncs fine for calendar when accepted through Entourage - but when they are updated by the original senders I get multiple entries for every event showing up on my phone (the old events aren't removed). In addition, my phone does not sync back to the Exchange server when I accept invitations, nor when I create entries in my calendar.
Thoughts?

This problem is only something I've had problems with recently. Previously entries in the Calendar would sync OK regardless of where they were created or accepted. So appointments I logged on the road into the phone would work back into Exchange and onto Entourage.
Two things have changed. Our Exchange server was upgraded and how has Active Sync which means I now get push notifications which is great. I've also gone up to the 3.01 software on the iPhone.
Now, it seems I am ONLY getting push from Exchange to the iPhone. Calendar entries from Entourage appear on the phone.
Any calendar entries created on the phone or invites accepted on the phone stay on the phone. They are not synced back to Exchange and onto my Entourage calendar.
As someone who is office based for only a few days a month, effective Calendar sync is vital.
If the problem is with the OS update on the phone then this fix needs to be part of 3.02. If the problem lies with the Active Sync setup then I need some instructions to go back to our Sys Admins with.
Thanks!

Iphone 4s calendar alert issue

I tend to put 2 alerts on my calendar events, one for 1 day before and the second one for 1 hour before (or some other on the day of event). I have noticed that when I put in the first alert for 1 day before and then enter the second alert for 1 hour before and click done they have somehow been reversed, the first alert is now 1 hour before and the second alert is 1 day before. I have to click them again and change them to the proper order, this usually take about 3 tries to get them to stay as I want them. I can them save the event and all is good. I was at the Apple store and the staff duplicated this issue so I know I'm not the only one experiencing this nuissance. Has anyone else come across this? I do hope the upcoming update will fix it.

Update since Genius visit:
1) Apple is working on an update
2) There is no awareness at Apple of this calendar alert issue as a bug, hence it is not being addressed/worked on
3) Solutions offered by Genius have not resolved this issue.
Solutions offered by Genius, in order of which to try first:
1) Delete calendar data from iPhone: Settings>iCloud>Calendars OFF and then restore data from iCloud: Calendars ON
2) Reset iPhone settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
3) Restore to factory settings: Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings, then restore data from iCloud and in-app backups.
4) Use another calendar app (seriously)
Of course, if the bug is actually part of the iOS software (could it be?) then no amount of erasing and restoring data will fix the issue. I completed the first two options with no change, and am not willing to do the third option because I am not interested in going through the process of backing up, then restoring all my third-party apps.
My solution: raise awareness of this issue with Apple, so that it can be worked on and fixed. I have reported it as a bug through Apple's feedback module: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and I encourage-- no, ask-- you to do the same, if you are experiencing this issue. I provided a link to this forum topic to show the variety and detail of problems.
Are you sick of missing alerts, fiddling endlessly, coming up with workarounds, paying for unreliable software, and not being responded to? I am. It's time to rally!

TS3999 i put a calendar event into my iPhone in my iCloud calendar, but it is not showing up in my Outlook iCloud calendar. what am i doing wrong?

I put a calendar event into my iPhone (using iCloud calendar) but it does not show up in my Outlook iCloud calendar. Any idea what i am doing wrong?

Are you sure that you put the event on your iCloud calendar? You might want to check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar to be sure you have selected the calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default.

How can i change the apple id on my iphone for icloud?

@fernandamagalhaes
It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
Set up iCloud on your devices

Calendar alert issue

Hi all,
I've got a minor annoying issue. My wife (iPhone 4 with iOS6) and I (iPhone 5 wiht iOS6) share an apple account. On iCloud, we've got two calendars. The first is called "Calendar" which is there for us to put all of our general home stuff (birthdays, vacations, appts, etc) and is intended for both of us to use. I've got a second calendar called "Dan" which is just for me with a bunch of stuff she doesn't care about.
Here's the issue. In Calendar, she clicked "Calendars" and deselected the "Dan" under "iCloud Calendars". The only other calendar her Calendar app now shows is our default shared calendar. So, anything I put on the "Dan" calendar no longer shows up... yay! HOWEVER, alerts from my "Dan" calendar still appear on her phone. In other words, if I put an event called "test" on JUST my "Dan" calendar with an alert to go off at 1:00, at that time, BOTH of our phones go off and display alerts. The Event still doesn't show up in her calendar though.
SO, my question is, how can she make it so alerts from "Dan" calendar don't show up on her phone? It's annoying for her, and not cool for me if I want to put in an event that she shouldn't know about.
Thanks,
Dan P.

Icloud calendar and outlook calendar not synching

IPhone calendar event issue- not synching across iCloud

Events created on my iPhone will not sync across iCloud to display on my Calendar App on my iPad or on my laptop.
iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.3 - this started yesterday with no changes having been made to any of my iCloud settings. On my laptop I get a new icon displays in my doc - see attached image, but when I click on it it just goes away and the new event is not synched. If I don't click on this icon, it eventually disappears and the event is also not added to my calendar.
I Can create events on my iPad and laptop and have them show on my phone. I can create Notes on my iPhone and they sync across devices.
I have tried changed the iPhone calendarsync settings from 'Events 1 Month Back' to 'All Events' and vice versa. On the iPhone I have turned Off synching of calendars, waited and re-enabled synching. I have cycled power to my iPhone.

Thanks Sterling - I've read through both those articles and performed all the troubleshooting steps in the iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support article. I have verified bluetooth is on, I'm on the same wireless network, same iCloud account signed into on all devices, etc.
Still new events entered on my iPhone do not get added to my laptop or iPad calendar. The handoff icon shows in my doc, but it does not put the new event onto the calendar.
Through some more testing, I have also found the same issue with reminders; if I create one on my iPhone it will not be displayed on my laptop or iPad.
Again I have no problems creating these on my laptop or iPad and having them show on All my devices, including my iPhone. And another family member can create them on their iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3 and they come across to all my devices; laptop, iPad and my iPhone5.
Please advise what else I can do, as not being able to create events or reminders on my iPhone and have them sync across devices is a problem.
