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.

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.

MS Outlook 2003 and Iphone 2G calendar synching issues

hi,
I have just recently (after a very long IPhone download) am having synch issues. Some of my appointments are on the Iphone but not seen on Outlook. I read something about a com add in but when I tried to check this and add, my outlook didn't have this option. I am very aggravated!!!! I am in sales and have many appts during the day and now I am afraid I am going to forget one if i don't check both phone and outlook.. Please help!!!!
Janet

This is causing alot of problems no idea what percentage of windows users sync'ing with Outlook this is effecting but a lot of unhappy campers out there.
For a constantly updating discussion on this try an independent site:
http://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/myiphone_calendar_will_not_sync_with_outlook2007 Covers 2003 Outlook too. - (Scroll down to 16th July)
Apple although acknowledged the problem, now 2 weeks ago seem in no hurry to correct it, something to do with trying to sell MobileMe a cynic may say? Problem has mean't alot of businesses returning iphones, exchanging for Blackberries or just trying to revert back to their smartphones or ppc's.
This added to the problems of bluetooth handsfree kits not working with voicemail and 3G problems I suspect Apple are wishing they never released Firmware 2.0 and iTunes 7.7.
We are all hoping for a swift patch for this critical problem but then again we were doing that 2 weeks ago too... until then at least my XDA Orbit still works.
Repeating the appointment once so it is a reoccuring one day appointment has proved to work in the meantime - major pain though. I am testing Dionhall's fix at the moment, it sounds as if it is fixing the problem for most users. (See link above)

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 Outlook calendar synch issue

My new iPhone does synch with my Outlook 2007 calendar, but only some, not all, of the calendar items actually are copied over to the phone. When I create an event on the phone, it does synch back to the computer.
Any idea what's happening here?

Similar, if not same, issue here, as no calendar items come across from the computer. While I run both OSX and PC, the phone uses wife's Dell running XP pro, and it's still no joy. Running latest OS and outlook patches, etc.
I would expect coders are still working on a fix...bought the phone expressly for this purpose--while the other features are great, until this is fixed, it's a rather large thorn.
If the definitive steps to a fix are arrived at, I am all ears...

8830 Calendar Synch Issue/Vista 2007/Desktop Mgr v5.0.1

I use Vista 2007; I have 5 e-mail accounts on my 8830 - none are linked to Microsoft Outlook. Somehow, my calendar on Outlook is using an e-mail address that is not the set default on the 8830 to synch (I had to list one e-mail as a default on the 8830's General Options) and so when I open an appt. syched from Outlook on the 8830 it shows the secondary address and I can't change it to the set default. When I create a calendar entry on the 8830, it shows the default e-mail but then it doesn't synch to the Outlook (unless I list the secondary e-mail). I have not been able to figure out how to fix this. Whenever I synch to Desktop Mgr v5.0.1 it synchs off of the secondary e-mail address. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've had this unit for years and this is the first major issue I've encountered. This has not affected my notes/tasks/contacts/memo sections, which is a good thing. Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My unit is fixed - here's how we did it (thanks Verizon):
1. Back up data via Blackberry Desktop Manager
2. Under Options, Advanced Options, Default Services: Delete all the e-mail associated Calendars (CICM extensions, if I recall correctly). I only used Microsoft Outlook - not connected with an e-mail so this was just getting rid of the non-use calendars.
3. Wipe 8830
4. Restore the 8830 using the back up data file via Desktop Manager (note, this created duplicate entries again, because the unit took out the associated e-mails on the entries, and thus now I had one Outlook calendar on the 8830 with merged/duplicated entries from before - everything else synched fine).
5. On Desktop Manager, go to Back-Up/Restore Advanced options, and move the Calendar-ALL database over to the left hand side box called FILE (to create a back up file just for that)
6. On the right hand side, clear the Calendar-ALL database (the one from the 8830)
6. Go back to Synchronization, then set calendar synchronization this first time to go from Outlook-Device (change to dual synch later).
5. I did a full/regular synch and that solved the problem.

IOS Calendar Synch Issue with Google - iOS 8.1.3

I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 a few days ago, and since then, am finding that my iPhone is not synching properly with changes to my Google calendar made on other devices. Opening iOS calendar presents me with the spinning wheel for several minutes. To rectify the problem, I have to reboot or shut down the device entirely. When it comes back on, everything works fine.
If this happened just once, I would have chocked it up to an anomaly. However, the behavior I described just happened for the second time in three days. First time was on LTE and this morning while my device was on my home FiOS WiFi.
Nothing else appears awry, and upon reboot via a "soft" shut-down or hard reboot, calendar functions return to normal.
Appreciate some input ....
Many thanks.
- David

I Found if I do a soft reset it triggers my phone to start working though it lasts for 20-30 minutes and resorts back to issue again. I've also noticed AirPlay no longer functions properly which I realized after I updated my iPad to 8.1.3 which I regularly used for AirPlay so I tried it on my iPhone and it didn't work as well I tried it on my wife's iPhone and hers no longer works either. Wow! Disappointed to say the least. I know I can't be the only one frustrated with these 8+ updates as I've read it seems to be ongoing with thousands of others reporting online. It's not just the hard earned money spent on Apple products though when life becomes dependent upon using the products it seriously interfere with use

Calendar synch issue

My calendar is not synching between my iPad and iPhone i have checked all the settings but cannot see what is wrong, has anyone else had the same problem and fixed it?

I'm using iCloud, after searching endlessly for an answer, I eventually loaded my question only to then find the answer in the more like this section on the page.
It seems you have to switch calendar off in settings, switch it back on and then switch the device off and back on, this has done the trick. Only a shame it took me so long to find such an easy answer.
Thanks for responding.

Outlook calendar synching issues with iPhone

My work Outlook calendar does not seem to be synching up with the calendar on my iPhone. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

In that case the sync is with Exchange, not with Outlook. Both Outlook and the iPhone sync with Exchange, which is the master copy.
Which is more current, Outlook or the iPhone?

Does iCloud calendar synch with anything other than MS Outlook?

I am a mixed user (Apple and PC) but do not have MS Outlook available. Is there another calendar available on a PC to connect to iCloud?
Thanks

tried both, downloaded the trial. When I input those accounts in EM Client, it says syncing contacts, then nothing shows up, just says no contacts. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if my icloud is not setup properly.
I will try again tomorrow. I've been at this for a while now and my head hurts!
Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it!
I switched because honestly sprint sucked. I was debating another android but figured I've heard great things about the iphone so I would try it out. I love the phone, but this integration/backup is no where near as simple as my android was to sync with google.

ICloud not synching

I recently noticed that Syncing from calendar to my two iOS devices is no longer working. It might have been since I updated to Mavericks. Yes, although I don't like it, I have all the devices set to use iclown to sync the calendar. I also followed all the steps in Apple's document "iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar", for issues affecting iOS devices. After completing the last step, it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
(Please, other friends have already suggested buying a paper calendar and keeping it wiht me, but I am not ready to do that yet

    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

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.

Synch issue with icloud

Hello,
I have upgraded to iOS5 last week (iphone4).
I have activated iCloud and chose to synch everything except mails and notes.
When I go to iCloud.com from my computer, I have :
- only 4 contacts in "contacts" while I have 300+ in my iphone
- nothing in calendar, while I have a lot in my iphone
- no "photostream" link, so I don't know how to see my pictures in iCloud.com
I have connected my iPhone to personnal wi-fi and to power during many days.
How can I solve this synch issue ?
Thx
Adrien

If you mean that a new reminder entered on one device doesn't show up on other devices then check that
1) The other devices are logged into the same icloud account and have reminders turned on (settings>icloud), and
2) that the remider is in the "icloud" group, and not in the "on my ipod" or whatever group.

Multiple issues with iCloud calendar, notes, and iDevices

So many issues... where to begin?
Tonight I created a new note entry on my iPad. We had a birthday party for our twins yesterday, and as we opened the presents tonight, I logged who gave us what so my wife and I can write thank-you letters and credit the right people for the right gifts. I e-mailed the note (straight from the Notes app) to my wife to be sure she had a copy of it, and it sent me a CC: automatically per my e-mail setup.
That was a few hours ago. as of now, I have 137 copies of that e-mail in my in-box and they're still coming.
A few weeks ago, when I finally got my new iMac (previously I was on a G5 tower that was dying and, of course, unable to upgrade to an OS X capable of supporting iCloud... since I knew my me.com account would be closing soon, I bit the bullet and bought new hardware to support iCloud), I set up my iPad (first-gen model with latest supported iOS) and my wife's iPhone (iPhone 4 with latest supported iOS) to use iCloud with my account so we could continue to share calendars, etc. As much as I resented iCloud being forced on me just when I finally got me.com mostly working, I did like the idea of push-updates to calendars. With twin toddlers, my wife was regularing booking playdates and other activities which affected my schedule, so live syncing of our calendars sounded like a good idea at the time. Nevertheless, all I got was headaches from iCloud ever since setting it up:
We each now have double and triple calendar entries.
Some of her Notes disappear on her after a iPhone sync on the iMac.
Push notifications and calendar updates have never once worked. In fact, when entering items on what should be our iCloud calendar on one device or another, many items NEVER synced, over the air OR in iCal.
I can now no longer sync to my work calendar, which is in iCal on my work computer, a Mac Pro tower not yet on an OS X version capable of iCloud syncinc (for what that's worth). I have no control over updates to my MacOS at work, and feel as though it wouldn't matter if I did because live updates don't work for me anyway. But now I have had to re-enter a year's worth of meetings, work holidays, paydays, and late-night bookings, previously only on my Work calendar but once syncable to home, on my home calendar. Manually.
Oh, by the way, since I started typing this, my e-mailed Note from earlier tonight has continued to flood into my mailbox and now I'm up over 150 copies and they're STILL flooding in. I can see them piling up.
Rhetorically, why does iCloud suck so much? Literally, seeking an answer: what, if anything, am I doing wrong... and what can I do to make it work properly?
I feel like I did due dilligence, reading up on how to set things up right. I'm no stranger to Apple's way of doing things - I've been a Mac user since the SE/30 days. But while MobileMe and me.com merely frazzled me, iCloud is seriously messing up my life. I hate it and I hate being forced to use it in order to take full advantage of my hardware. The concept is great but I find that, in practice, it's an awful system (at least so far - hopefully, it will improve).
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
- Mike

By anychance did you or your wife use any forwarding options under mobile me.

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in iCloud? In mail, contacts the apple id is correct and matches my new apple id. I had to change my apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have calendar, contacts and other sync with iCloud.

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar? iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud. I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync. iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.

To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.
