Merging calendar with iCloud while using gmail account

I have a me.com account that I never use - just bought it years ago when I got mobileme and my calendar has always synced easily from my mac to my iphone. I never read the info about the switch to icloud which is probably why I'm confused now. But all the sudden my iphone calendar isn't syncing with my mac calendar. The key is, I don't want to have to change my email to my "me.com" address to use the calendars. Also, would like to use notes but not sure I can without switching to me.com. Any suggestions?

An iCloud email account is required to sync notes with iCloud.  You don't have to use the email account but it must be present on your phone.  Just create the account, then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Mail section) and make sure this is set to your Gmail account.  Then just ignore the iCloud email account.

  • Each time I start up my MacBook Air a document appears on the desk top -calendarlogging.txt  I'm synching my calendar with iCloud.  Using Mavericks, but the same file was appearing using Lion.  Any thoughts.  Thanks

    Each time I start up my MacBook Air a text file appears on the desk top (calendarlogging,txt) the file/document contains lines of code.  I'm using iCloud to synch my calendar to multiple other devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone.  Using Maverick on both my iMac and my MacBook Air.  The file was also showing up on the desktop when I was using Lion.  Any thoughts?

    Hi everyone,
    To anyone who might read this, I ended up re-installing with the original install disc and was able to get back on to Mac, though I lost all of the previous data that I had not backed up. Unsure still if it will continue to let me access the HDD in this, but it kind of confirms that installing Lion probably put too much stress on the computer this last year.

  • Is there a way to sync my blackberry contacts and calendar with my iPad using iCloud?

    I still use my blackberry and am not giving it up so quickly...but in the months Ive been using my iPad it has definitely become an alternative at times.
    Therefore is there a way tp sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar with my iPad using iCloud?

    You three would do better to sync to google directly.  Google has a blackberry app that will allow you to sync your contacts and calendars.  The app isn't perfect, but it works reasonably well, especially if you're just using one calendar to sync.
    Then there's plenty of ways to sync those to your iPad using Google, including Exchange, or simply adding it as a google account.
    As for iCloud, there really isn't any supported or unsupported method to do what you're trying to do, at least at this time.  If there is, it would definitely be a hack and I would be wary of risking your contact or calendar data on it..

  • How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
    What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
    How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
    All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

  • I tried to share my iPhone calendar with my husband using iCloud. Now he has both our events on his phone but my phone only has just my events, not his.

    I tried to share my iPhone calendar with my husband using iCloud. Now he has both our events on his phone but my phone only has just my events, not his.

        D13, thanks for these details. This an awesome clue. Are you able to connect to this Wi-Fi connection with other devices? Let's try a few steps to resolve this issue.
    First, reset the network in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network and power your device off/on.
    Secondly, delete the Wi-Fi connection in Settings>Select your Wi-Fi>Forget this Network and the try to connect to that Wi-Fi again.
    Lastly, try creating your Wi-Fi connection. Tap Settings>Enable Wi-Fi ON. From Choose a Network, select Other. Enter the Wi-Fi network name. Select Security. Select the Wi-Fi network type then select Other Network. Enter the Wi-Fi network password then select Join
    Keep us posted.

  • I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones.

    I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones. We both have company email addresses. I have had to install and uninstall my gmail info on my iPhone multiple times due to errors sending and receiving emails from my company email address on my phone. For some reason, all of my emails are getting stuck in my outbox when my gmail account is installed on my phone. When I delete it, my emails get sent automatically. This is really annoying! I would do without the gmail account, but I need to share calendars with my husband. How do I fix this?

    If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

  • HT2513 Can I share an iCal calendar with someone who uses Google Calendar?

    That's basically the question.  I use iCal and I want to share one of my calendars with someone who uses Google Calendar and doesn't have any Apple products.  Is this possible?
    Thanks,

    I didn't explain correctly. Right now I share (subscribe) a calendar on Mobile Me , in addition to my own personal calendar. That shared calendar is staying on Mobile Me and I need to be able to access it once I move my personal calendar to iCloud. That is, if I use iCloud can I share calendars that are not on iCloud, but are on MobileMe?
    You can't do this: when you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud the calendars will be transferred there and no longer available on MobileMe.
    You can share calendars privately or publicly from iCloud: private calendars can only be viewed by nominated iCloud members; public calendars can be viewed by anybody in a CalDAV client such as iCal or Google Calendar (though they are non-editable).

  • Share my Outlook calendar with icloud?

    I use Outlook with the company's exchange server and want to publish the exchange calendar with icloud so that I can then share the icloud calendar with someone else. The company blocks directly sharing the exchange calendar so I'm looking to publish it/sink it with icloud calendar. 

    Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
    The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
    Note:   You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
    To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
    Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
    The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
    In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
    You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

    I'm not sure what you mean by the times get switched around, but you migh check on both mac and device in the Time & Date section of preferences/settings to be sure they are both in the same time zone.

  • While using gmail a message appears asking to Increase Database Size? No message is stuck on my screen.  Why?

    While using gmail on my ipad a message appears "Increase Database Size?".  After pressing cancel the message is stuck on my screen. 
    How do I get rid of the message so I can access my mail?

    Here's a fix just in case other users have this problem and still sticks around:
    In your passbook app- choose the Belly "Card." Tap the "i" icon on the bottom right corner and turn off the notification sliders. Passbook seems to go over the general notifications and just makes it's own rules in this regard.

  • How can I sync my iPhone calendar with another iPhone using iCloud?

    Must each iOS device being sync'd with another use the same apple id to sync using iCloud?

    Yes.  Both devices would have to use the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud, and have Calendars turned on.
    However, you can use another service (I use Gmail) to sync a shared calendar without having to use the same Apple ID.
    My partner and I share a joint Gmail account, and have it added to our iPhones, and have the Calendar option enabled.  Whenever I want to add an event to the calendar, I just temporarily change from my default (iCloud Home) to the Gmail.
