Issues syncing/sharing calendars on iPhone 6

Some questions about sharing calendars...
First some background. My husband and I just upgrade from an iPhone 3 (yes, so retro) to an iPhone 6. Clearly this is a big change for us. We lived through an era where we shared my apple ID for a while. But while on the 3 we eventually graduated to having separate Apple IDs, while still sharing iTunes account, Calendars and Notes.
So now we're on the 6. All of our stuff was transferred over to our individual phones. And although we each have up-to-date events in our calendars (we can each see everything in there, up to time of transfer), we are no longer hooked up to each other (i.e. when he adds an event, it's not showing up on my calendar and vice versa). A note: We share 5 different color-coded calendars, one for each member of our family. I also use these same calendars on our family iPad and my laptop.
I understand that Family Sharing will allow us to share a single "family" calendar, but it will not allow us to use the multiple, color-coded calendars that we've already started years ago, correct??
We understand the steps to manually share each of our 5 calendars. After opening the calendar app, he clicks on "calendars" on the bottom. Using the calendars listed under iCloud, he clicked the "i" to the right of each calendar and add me under "shared with." Here are our problems… when he tries to share with me and add any of the 5 specific calendars, it duplicates what is already existing on my calendar (up to the point of data transfer). Does that make sense? And when I try to share with him, well, I can't. His name will not populate under the "shared with" section. Yes, he is in my contacts.
Does it matter who sends the share invite to whom?
Why is he not showing up when I try to add him? Everyone in his contact list shows up as an option when he tries to share with me. Barely any of my contacts are available when I try to share with him. And he is definitely not showing up
Are we going about this totally wrong?
I'm assuming Family Sharing is not an option because we both want to see and be able to edit each of our 5 family calendars. Am I assuming correctly? I think we'll try to use Family Sharing for iTunes purchases, but I haven't been able to even think about that yet, because we wanted to get our calendars working.
Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Amy
P.S. I'm posting this in multiple forums, since I'm not sure what the issue is! Sorry if you see all posts!

I just figured it out how to fix this issues.
Steps:
Go to
1- Settings
2- Cellular
3- Enable LTE
Change Voice & Data to Data Only
This should fix the issue incoming calls.. I'm using this setting for over a week and never had any issues with incoming calls.
Please let me know if this works for you
Thanks

  • Since Jan 1st cannot sync google calendar and iPhone calendar

    I had google calendars syncing just fine between iCal on my laptop and iPhone by using Exchange on my iphone. Since the first of the year I can't get one of the calendars to sync. I have a work calendar and personal calendar as well as two shared calendars that belong to others. Since Jan 1st my work calendar will not show up on my iPhone. Even if I add an event on my iPhone it shows up briefly then disapears??? The only thing I changed prior to this issue was adding a shared calendar. My personal calendar has and is still the default. No other settings were changed. Another thing is that on my phone my work calendar keeps unselecting itself so it shows 2 calendars rather than 3.
    I went on the exchange settings and turned off everything and turned them back on and made it worse. Now none of my calendar events show up but the two shared calendars do. On google sync settings they are all selected still- both on my computer and iphone.
    Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!

    It may be more than this but there is an issue with shared google calendars discussed here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/calendar/syncing-my-cal endar/m8zzIAYN9rI

  • Syncing google calendar to iPhone 5?

    I've got an interesting dilemma when it comes to syncing my google calendars. On my iPhone's calendar in the top left hand corner under "calendars" both of my google calendars show up as options but only one of them actually displays events in my iPhone's calendar. The other one (which is a shared calendar, and also my default Google calendar), when selected, will not display any of the events associated with that calendar in my iPhone's calendar. I found this link --> https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect <-- which most people said did the trick. The trouble is the calendar I'm having issues with isn't listed on this page with a check box next to it. I can't figure why if it's available as an option for my iPhone's calendar to display it, none of the events will show up. Fixing this issue would be largely helpful for me. I also have a third party app called "Week Cal" which has the same issue (shows up as an option but when selected no events show up within the calendar).

  • Syncing shared calendar in iCal

    Hello,
    My wife and I use google calendar's to put all of our events and commitments in, and we "share" our respective calendars with the other so we can see what the other is up to and try and plan around each other.
    I use the mail app and iCal for e-mails and my calendar, however I have not been able to find a way for the shared calendar (my wife's calendar) to show up on my iPhone/iPad.  Ideally I would like to see both her and my events, and be able to add things to both calendar's if possible.
    Doe anyone have any ideas on how this should be accomplished?
    Thanks so much!

    You should be able to select the calendar in the Calendar app at Google.com by clicking the little triangle beside it's name when you mouse over it. Select Share this Calendar and change the Permissions setting for the person you are sharing with. If your wife is not there then you'll have to delete the calendar on her device then send an invite with the appropriate permissions. Shared calendars verses synced calendars probably have different options.

  • Syncing shared calendar

    I used to have an iphone 3G and could easily sync my 2010 outlook calendar along with a shared calendar that I would periodically email to my home account from work.  Now I have switched to an iphone 4S with an updated os and it no longer syncs my shared calendar.  I can't figure out if I have to change a setting or what.  The calendar is not really being "shared", it just shows up under shared calendars when I open and download it from an attachment in my email.  This was the only way I could figure out how to put my work appointments in outlook and it's been working fine for years.  Anyone know what is different from the old os and why I can't do what I used to be able to do?  Thanks much!

  • How to Read Outlook Exchange Shared Calendars on iPhone?

    My company uses microsoft outlook exchange and I have been using iphone syncing with this outlook exchange calendar. Besides my own calendar, on the outlook exchange, I have access to another shared calendar. I want to be able to read this shared calendar on my iPhone but cannot figure out how to do it. Previously I learned from other postings that iPhone doesn't support it.
    The new OS 3.0 support CalDav and I am wondering if this will enable me to read the shared calendars of my outlook exchange on my iPhone. Does anybody know how to do it? If the current firmware solely doesn't support it, might there are other ways to do it with supports of other apps? How about through Google Calendar? Or there are any apps can automatically copy the contents in the outlook exchange shared calendars to my outlook exchange calendar?
    Does anybody have solutions? Many thanks!

    The shared MS Exchange calendar is ICS format which SHOULD be able to be added as "Add Subscribed Calendar" in the Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account/Other screens on the iPhone.
    I'm tring to add a 2nd Exchange Outlook calendar only and need it to sync over the air.
    Just can't find the correct way to get it entered to work? The link sent by Outlook (I'm running 2007) when you send the invite doesn't work and copy/paste to the server name is also a bust. Have tried direct copy paste, cutting off the webcal:// prefix, etc. Just won't authenticate.
    No documentation that I can find on either Apple or MS site to validate the exact syntax required.
    I can hit the https link provided by MS on my Safari iPhone browser after entering my MS Online ID and access the calendar online. And yes tried several of MS Online IDs that I have as UID/PW in the iPhone config screens without success.
    A little more info on my config.
    3gs 32mb
    Have exchange acct as primary email with email contacts and calendar working
    Have CalDAV link to my wife's Google calendar working
    Have several other subscribed calendars (ics) working: US Holidays, AmericanHistory.com, and my TripIt profile.
    I DO NOT want to use MobileMe to make this work. Life would be so easy if iPhone would just support multiple Exchange accts!
    Funny thing I just noticed...spell check on forum IDs "iPhone" and "MobileMe" lol

  • Issues Syncing Google Calendar with Palm Pre 2 WebOs 2.0.1 - Timezones...

    I am using Google Calendar to synch my company Outlook to my Palm Pre 2. I note that there are some prior posts on Timezone challenges and have followed the advice provided to no benefit.
    All my events are synchronizing  - however any recurring events not local to my timezone are not translating to my local timezone. So events scheduled by colleagues on the US West Coast are entered into my calendar at the time set ignoring the offset to my timezone (8 hours given that I'm in UK).
    All events are properly reflected in Google Calendar it's the sync to my Pre which seems to corrupt (or more correctly not translate the time). Interestingly single events created by US colleagues are translated correctly.
    Any suggestions as to how I can fix this??

  • How do I sync my calendar between iPhone and Mac on Mavericks? The postings I've seen so far are not showing me how to do this simple thing! Apple used to be easy to use - not so much any more

    I am trying to sync my calendar between the mac and my iphone now that I have upgraded to Mavericks. I understand that I have to use iCloud (which I am not at all excited about) but I'll be damned if I can find out how to do it.  I've read several postings in the community but they point me to broad troubleshooting pages and I can't find anything that simply tells me how to get my calendar into icloud to begin with and then how to sync.  i was pretty happy syncing dircetly through itunes.  I am feeling very sour about Apple right now.

    Actually it is pretty easy to do through iCloud,
    On your Mac(s)
    System Preferences > iCloud
    Be sure the services you want to sync through iCloud are checked
    click on Account Details and be sure your Apple ID is correct
    On your iPhone
    Settings > iCloud
    Account -- Verify the Apple ID is the same one you set in System Preferences on your Mac(s)
    turn the services you want to sync throug iClound or ON. These should match the ones you set in System Preferences on your Mac
    On your iPad
    Settings > iCloud
    Account -- Verify the Apple ID is the same one you set in System Preferences on your Mac(s)
    turn the services you want to sync throug iClound or ON. These should match the ones you set in System Preferences on your Mac
    That is literally all there is to it. The first sync will occur when your iPhone or iPad is plugged into power and on WiFi. After that any change made on one of the synched devices will appear on all of the other synched devices the first time they have an internet connection.

  • Sync Exchange calendar to iPhone via iCal on a Mac

    My company uses Exchange 2007 for mail, contacts, calendar. Unfortunately, it does not support access to Exchange from the iPhone. For mail on the iPhone, I use the IMAP client which works well. For the contacts, Address Book can talk to our LDAP server. However, for calendar access, I'm stuck. I can see the Exchange events on my Mac iCal. Non-Exchange events sync across to the iPhone using MobileMe. The only way to get the Exchange events to the iPhone is via iTunes, which is not helpful since I don't want to have to do that continuously. Does anyone know how to sync Exchange events to an iPhone? Or any other solution?

    I have the same problem - is there a solution?

  • How do I sync Outlook calendar with iPhone?

    I am using Outlook 2011 on my laptop for my yahoo account. I receive all mail via Outlook and I use the calendar feature on Outlook as well. I set up the yahoo account also on my iPhone 4. I have no problems receiving/sending emails but I cannot figure out how to [wirelessly] sync the calendar from Outlook to the iPhone. Does anyone know if it can be done? And if so, how?  Thank for the help.

    Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
    After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
    iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
    In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Click the Info tab.
    Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
    Do one of the following:
    To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
    To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
    NOTE   To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
    Click Apply.

  • ICal syncing shared calendars

    I have 3 separate google calendars that I use often. I have them all shared with each other with r/w permissions to make things easier on the go.
    The problem comes in with iCal syncing. I have all three calendars in iCal under separate accounts. sometimes, iCal will sync the shared calendars along with the individuals, making duplicates of them, and flooding me with unnecessary reminders.
    The only problem is that iCal WILL NOT save the settings on the shared calendars. When it recognizes that accound has shared calendars, it will load them and give me reminders. Naturally I go and uncheck the calendar because I don't want it syncing. But then, when it refreshes, and finds the shared calendars, it doesn't remember the setting, and loads the shared calendars.
    In simple talk, I just need to know how to get iCal to remember NOT to sync the shared calendars. Because it hasn't worked so far and its unbelievably frustrating...

  • Just want to sync Outlook calendar and Iphone without paying extra $$

    I am currently using Mobile Me trial membership to sync my Outlook Calendar and Iphone calendar. Just that only -- I don't want to sync my Outlook e-mail or contacts with my phone. But I don't want to pay $99 for for Mobile Me after the free trial runs out in October.
    Will I have to pay to sync?
    I need to sync them a couple times a day, it has to be secure, and I don't want to do it manually with a wire.
    Any advice?

    Jon,
    I could connect the cord and sync each night, but that's too difficult to remember.
    That's how I did it for a year with the first iPhone. It wasn't that bad.
    Still, over the air synching is pretty cool, especially if you update your calendar throughout the day and always want the latest information on the phone.

  • Sync multiple Calendars onto iPhone separately

    Hi,
    I have the following calendars on Microsoft Outlook which I would like to sync onto my iPhone 4S:
    1) Personal calendar on Home PC
    2) Work calendar on Work laptop
    I would like to keep both Calendars above the way it is, but sync both of them onto my iPhone. How can I do it?
    ie:
    Objectives:
    1) Personal calendar on Home PC only (No work calendar here)
    2) Work calendar on Work laptop only (No personal calendar here)
    3) Both calendars on iPhone
    What I can do now, after I sync my iPhone to both computers:
    1) Both calendars on Home PC, but hide Work calendar
    2) Both calendars on Work laptop, but hide Personal calendar
    3) Both calendars on iPhone
    How can I configure my iPhone, iTunes-es and MS Outlook(s) to achieve my objectives above?
    Please advice / help.
    Many thanks!

    I've used Spanning Sync for my two home computers. One is PowerBook, and one is a new iMac. Both my wife an I have our own iPhones. http://spanningsync.com/
    I paid for a one year and I'm going to buy an unlimited one because now we got a new MacBook, making three computers and two iphones to keep in sync. They are also alpha testing getting ready for beta syncing of contacts too.
    The main requirement is that you have a google calendar, and email account for contacts.
    Another alternative is .Mac, but that costs a lot more for what you are wanting to do.

  • Sync two calendars *on iPhone*

    Hi there - O my iPhone, I sync two calendars from different servers. Is there a way (possibly via 3rd party apps) to sync these calendars against each other *on the iPhone* ? No external sync's wanted (e.g. via Google or iCloud)... Tx, Stefan

    Hi - thanks lots for your comment. I suppose you have lots of experience with it so I dare to describe my setup and desired results and I'd very much appreciate your advice.
    - I could sync data (mail, calendar) from two different Exchange servers.
    - One of them imposes an incredibly absurd restriction on my phone - pushing a policy which requires 8 char complex password to be changed every 90 days with screen lock set to max 15 minutes. This basically renders the phone unusable in daily life.
    I was now thinking of having one old iPhone syncing against both servers but acting as an intermediate device: It would merge the two calendars and then sync the new content to the other server from where I could fetch it with my "real" phone. So this scenario does not work, all too bad...
    Would you have any other suggestions how to achive this ? I don't want to involve 3rd party services, e.g. Google...
    Many thanks for looking into it - best regards,
    Stefan
