Missing iCal calendars on my Mac after upgrade to iCloud

I realise this is probably a very simple problem to those of you with a greater understanding of syncing and iCloud than I have.
I switched from MobileMe toiCloud last night. Everything seems to be working, except that all the iCal entries on my iMac have disappeared, although they appear perfectly on iCloud and on the family iPhones.
How can I get them back on the iMac, too?

And with impeccable timing, I've worked it out for myself just minutes after posting the request for help. So much for patience.
In case anyone else is having the problem, it involves starting up iCal, going to Preferences ... Accounts ... selecting iCloud in the drop-down menu that appears, and then entering your iCloud account name and password.
Simple.

Ical calendar on my mac not synching with iCloud

icloud calendars is checked in system preferences, however my ical appears empty on my macbook pro. Why is my iphone calendar not synching with ical in macbook pro even though icloud preferences are properly set up?

I wish I'd found this earlier. Here's some info that takes Winston's solution a bit further:
I just spent a bunch of time with Apple and have solved my similar problem. A week ago, iCal and my iPhone calendar stopped syncing. My assortment of iCal calendars were gone from iCloud, so that was the problem (not phone to iCloud). After much de-selecting and re-selecting, I realized that all my important calendars were @me.com type. I tested the iCloud calendars, and they functioned perfectly. Apple explained a simple way to migrate the @me.com calendars to iCloud:
Create a new iCloud calendar File > New Calendar > iCloud
Name the calender
Right click the old @me.com calendar and choose Export. Desktop is a good destination.
Drag the exported calendar from your desktop to the new iCloud calendar
iCal should show duplicates of all events in the @me.com calendar.
De-select the @me.com calendar. The duplicates will disappear.
Repeat with all the @me.com calendars and abandon this antiquated list.
Rejoice in your shiny new list of iCloud calendars that shows up everywhere it is supposed to.
There must be a lot of people out there who still have @me.com calendars, so I hope this info reaches them before they all spend time and money with Apple trying to sort it out.

Will iCloud mail and calendar sync still work after upgrade to iCloud drive?

on my imac and ipad i was asked to upgrade iCloud to iCloud drive. will my iCloud mail and calendar still work on my iphone 4 with iOS 7 after i choose to upgrade?

Yes. iCloud Drive doesn't effect synced data such as calendars, contacts, notes, etc. It also has nothing to do with iCloud email accounts.

ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
PLEASE HELP.

Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

I'm stucked on APPLE evolution bar when I restarted my Mac after upgrade to Yosemite. I Can't access on my computer.

Good Question.
I downloaded Yosemite a while ago, but didn¹t install it because it would
knock out several applications such as Solitaire till Dawn But finally
when some apps wouldn¹t work with my current version of Safari I thought I
would upgrade Safari but they wouldn¹t work with the OS I was using so
suddenly I had no Safari and was worse off than before. So I bit the bullet
and upgraded to Yosemite with the earlier version I already had. Not pleased
when iPhoto didn¹t work, and it also coincided with an national email outage
here in Australia by the major carrier so no email either.
Experience has taught me that it gets sorted out in the end but in the
meantime...
And the lesson is [

Exchange Calendar availability not working after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to iCloud, iCal doesn't send invitation anymore

Hi guys.
I've this "simple" problem.
After upgrading to iClous, my iCal doesn't send invitation anymore!
Please, help me!
Federico.

I've found some other people discussing this recently in the internet (although not as many as I thought) so it seems to be a generalized problem.
I wouldn't want to swtich back to local calendar and sync everything back but this is an annoying problem becase there's no way you can know if the invite went out or not.
Did someone find an official acknowledge of this or something like that? I'm not sure if it's something in our configuration that's causing the problem. My Apple ID email is my personal email address and my calendar used to send invites through my work account (which is the only account configured in my mac currently). I'm not sure what mechanism does iCloud use to send the invites (it didn't work in any device or even in iCloud.com itself).
Best,
Rod

Multiple accounts in ical after upgrading to iCloud

I have upgraded my Mac to Lion and I have now moved my previous mobileme account. I have found that my iCal application on my Mac is creating multiple CalDAV accounts that duplicate my calendar entries. If I try to delete these accounts they just come back - I have counted 44 of them listed!
I cant see the same if I log into iCloud to view my Calendar there.
Please help me reset this on my Mac so I have just the one account.

OK - looks like I finally managed to delete some of them - found multiple entries on ~/library/calendars/ causing the issue
Will continue to test over the next few days.
Man, this move to iCloud to doing my head in...

No longer able to save iCal calendars "on my mac"

I have some of my iCal calendars saved "on my mac", and some of my iCal calendars saved "on iCloud".
After updating to 10.8.2, syncing of calendars in the iCloud settings preference pane were not enabled. I enabled it, and was asked if I wanted to merge calendars on my Mac with calendars in iCloud. I answered "yes", and after that I have no longer the option to save a new calendar "on my mac".
If I create a new calendar, the only option is to save it in iCloud (I have an option saving it in .Mac, but that is obviously no longer working since MobileMe is no more).
Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to be able to save new calendars "on my Mac"?

Hi,
I'd recommend trying two things to see if it solves your problem:
1. Restart the Windows audio service. Press your Windows key + R to bring up the Run dialogue box. Type in services.msc and select the Windows audio service. Restart it. Now try to select your TV as the audio device.
2. If the above step is unsuccessful, restart your computer while the TV is on and connected to your laptop through HDMI. Audio should play automatically.

ICal calendars on my Mac don't sync with iCloud

Am I missing something? When I configured iCloud, I noticed that I suddenly had duplicates of my Address Book and Calenders. My Mac can sync with my phone, my phone can sync with iCloud, but I can't sync my Mac with iCloud.
Maybe I'm too lazy and haven't read enough about it, but it seems like a total cluster.
So now, when I want to update my calendar on my Mac, I have to go to iCloud instead of using iCal.
Anyway, if I'm missing something... feel free to point it out. No offense taken

I have something similar and i will try to explain with my rusty english.
I have an ID on iCloud but i can't sync the iCal events.
On my mac there is everythign (appointment, notes birthdays and so on). On my iCloud there is nothing.
I suppose was something related with the old ID (one just for ichat, not one of the ID that you pay to receive extra services or a @me.com account).
Now, as soon as the icloud features was installed on my Macbook Air I signed a new ID and initially everything worked fine. Emails on Mail and contacts were syncronized properly but with the new ID. i did not check iCal account.
So i tried also with the old one (the ichat ID) and all was sync. So i realized that maybe Apple recognized same account or name and merge all the ID in just one.
I was wrong.
The 2 ID's are not linked.
further checks add also this new weird stuff. in any case i cant sync ical accounts. i tried to switch from one to another ID. no way. i checked preferences in iCal on the mac. everything is fine. no way.
do uu have any idea?

IPad iCal events gone after upgrade to iCloud

I have an iphone which I upgraded to OS5 and activited iCloud. My wife has an iPad but has been using my apple ID for itunes etc. She keeps her own iCal and has not been synching it to our desktop or anything. I keep my own calendar on my iPhone and it syncs with Outlook at work. After I activated iCloud using my apple ID on her iPad, her Calendar entires are gone and my Calendar entries are now on her iPad. Is there a way to recover her entries/calendar?

Some users have reported that turning off iCloud has restored their calendar events.
Unfortunately if this does not work, your events are likely lost, and can only be recovered from a backup.
