New icloud calendar created on iphone not syncing to icloud or mac

OK from the SBIFF website at sbiff.org (if you love film, check it out!) I downloaded their full ics calendar of events to my iphone 5 calendar.  On the iPhone 5, I imported that calendar data into a new iCloud calendar called SBIFF.  All events imported to iPhone with no problem and it's great!
However, I cannot seem to get the calendar events to sync to iCloud or my MacBook Pro except for the calendar name itself.
My MacBook Pro (10.8.2) is set to sync with iCloud and does so without a problem - so far.  iCloud.com calendar also shows all of my calendar events which are synced between Mac and iPhone.
The new calendar "SBIFF" on my iPhone shows all of the events, my MacBook Calendar shows ONLY the calendar name in Calendar sidebar in the iCloud section (and it is selected - checked).  None of the events are synced over from the iPhone.  Also, none of the events show up in iCloud either although, once again, the calendar name "SBIFF" shows up in the sidebar.
So, help me out here.  Why aren't the events showing up in iCloud or in my Mac calendar?  As far as I can tell all settings on iphone, Mac and icloud are correct.

Thanks for reply.
In Settings>iCloud, my account is set up and appears under heading "iCloud."
In Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars, same account listed under heading "iCloud."
In Calendar list in iPhone Calendar app, new calendar is listing along with all others that are part of iCloud account.
All other calendars in that account sync, just not this new one with ics data imported to iPhone.

  • Contacts created on iPhone not sync with iCloud

    I'm having this problem for a while now. Since my last iPhone.
    Currently I have:
    an iPhone 5, an iPad, a MCB and an iMac.
    All updated with last versions, all using iCloud to sync contacts.
    If I create a new contact on the MCB or on the iMac, it will sync to iCloud and to the iDevices. If edit this contact, or even delete it from the device, it will be deleted from iCloud, MSB and iMac.
    If I create a contact in the iPad, it will work fine if on settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, the "Default Account" for contacts is set to "iCloud" instead on "On my iPad"
    The problem is: if I create a contact on the iPhone, it will not be synced with iCloud, MCB, iMac or iPad. It will remain only on the iPhone. And on the iPhone, under  settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars there is no "Default Account" for contacts, so I'm assuming it is set to "On my iPhone" by default.
    Does anyone know how to add the option? or how to force the iPhone to create contacts on iCloud instead on the device itself?

    Ensure that indeed you have your iCloud contact sync enabled on your iPhone. If this is true, try forcing the Default Account option to appear under Contacts on your iPhone Settings > Mail, Calendars, Settings. Then follow the instructions from here: iCloud contacts not syncing.
    To force the Default Accont option to appear, simply enable an additional contact sync account such as Exchange or CardDAV

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

    that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

    Ok, this will work.
    1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
    2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
    2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
    3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
    4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
    5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
    It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
    Good luck!

  • Calendar on iPhone not syncing with iCloud

    The calendar on my iPhone experiences scrambled dates, multiple entries for the same event and does not show iCloud as a calendar in the list of calendars, only my old @me.com calendar. Calendar and iCloud work fine on my Mac & iPad, just not my phone. Any suggestions? CD

    You need to delete the old me.com calendar account, and ensure that Calendar is switched on in the iCloud account settings on your iPhone.

  • Calendar events on iPhone not syncing to ical or Mobile Me -- Tiger OS

    I had to replace my iPhone 3G with another iPhone 3G due to phone problems. Now, events that I had once put in to iCal are still showing up on my iPhone but are not on my iCal or Mobile Me calendar. As per advice on other threads, I did a complete reset through Sync. Now, I have duplicate calendars (different color coding) but still no events. Can someone please help? I'm not using Outlook, I'm using the Tiger OS.

    Thanks for reply.

  • IPhone not syncing with iCloud

    I went to iCloud via my office computer and entered an event in my calendar, set alerts, etc.
    They never showed up on my iPhone. I don't know if they ever showed up on my home iMac's Calendar program. I'll check tonight.
    I checked the settings in my iPhone's preferences and it seems to be turned on.
    I did not see any "sync now" button in either the iPhone prefs or the iCloud prefs.
    Is there a fix for this?
    I might actually have to go back to writing reminder notes on PAPER and putting them in my pockets.

    I had same problem - syncing 2 iphones, 3 Macs to icloud, it would work one way, not the other, etc etc
    Fixed it as follows:
    1st - Back up calander on each device ....
    log into icloud and make sure calander on icloud is your master & up to date - so everything you want to keep  is there.
    On each device - turn off icloud sync for your calander. This will ask if you want delete the calander on the device, Yes delete it. - Do a full restart on device for good measure.
    Go back to icloud sync on each device and turn on - This will ask if you want to merge calanders with iCloud - Yes you do...
    Wait for the icloud calander to download to device,
    Now you have a new copy of the icloud master calander on your device, it should all work :-)

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing properly

    I've set iTunes to "Put new events creatd on this iPhone into the calendar" to my "Home" calendar, but when I create a new event on my iPhone and sync, the event shows up in the Read-Only "US Holidays" calendar (it's one that I subscribe to from Apple). I've tried the "Reset Sync History" feature in iSync several times (rebooting afterwards) but the problem persists. Any ideas??

    Items that I enter on my iphone also get added to a calendar that I subscribe to, which is supposed to be read only, even though I have chosen another calendar to add new items too. My read-only calendar does not appear in the select box in the itunes info sync page, but it is getting the events, no matter what calendar I do choose. Then when the calendar gets auto refreshed from its source, the events disappear. I cannot change the events to place them on a different calendar, once they are in iCal my, because the calendar is read-only -- to everything but iphone.

  • Calendar entries on iphone not syncing to my macs. Syncing via mobile.me and works well from mac to phone

    Calendar entries made on my iphone are not syncing in to my ical calendar on my macs. Syncing via mobileme. works well from mac to phone.

    I am having a similar problem. I think that my phone  actually deleted a couple appointments, as well. Today I entered a repeating event on my phone. It still has not shown up on my MacBook or my iPad, hours later. I believe it is because my iCloud Sync was turned off on my phone. I just checked - It said that my password was entered incorrectly. I think that must have happened when I upgraded to iOS6. I fixed it now and am waiting to see if my iCal sync happens.

  • Calendar entries on iphone not syncing with outlook calendar

    Items that I entered on my iphone calendar are not syncing with my outlook calendar on my office pc.  Outlook entries are appearing on iphone calendar, however.  Used to work, now doesn't.  Recently updated iphone software.  Could this be the problem?

    i had same problem. everything worked fine backing up iphone to macbook pro and Ical until IOS 5 upgrade, then selective entries on Iphone wouldn't backup to Ical despite repeated attempts. I did what you did, turned off calander iCloud feature so it backs up only to MacBook and it seems to have solved problem.

  • Ipad and iphone not syncing with icloud

    My ipad AND iphone 4S have stopped syncing with icloud - for calendar and reminders at least - suspect for all apps - any suggestions anyone? Have tried ensuring default calender is the same across all, but thus is also impacting other apps.. Help appreciated.

    Do you mean per app? Have done for calendar on iphone, but reluctant to do so on ipad as that's the one that contains loads of updates (as it means deleting everything on the ipad?)... if I have to do this I will eventually, its just that as it's both my iphone and ipad involved, it seems like it might be more likely to be an icloud issue? She said hopefully...

  • Contacts created on iPhone not syncing

    I've noticed that if I create a contact on my iPhone, that content doesn't sync to the other address books. So everything looks fine on my phone: I can see their name in Messages, for instance.
    But when I move to my desktop Mac, I can see only the phone number in Messages, the contact doesn't appear in Contacts, etc. If I go the other way and create on my computer, it's properly synced to the other devices.
    I have multiple mail/contact profiles/accounts (several Gmail accounts, my work account, etc.) on my phone. It's almost like the contacts are getting "assigned" to my work account rather than my main Apple ID account, so they are fine on the phone, but aren't part of the Apple ID sync.. so to spe

    You need to move the contacts to the correct contact group for them to sync. The factory Contacts app does not provide a way to do this; you need a 3rd party app such as Speed Names, which lets you assign contacts to a group and to move contacts between groups.
    You can go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars and scroll down to Contacts. Make sure the default account is iCloud so new contacts will go to a group that syncs.

  • Contacts Created on iPhone not syncing over to Address Book on laptop.

    Contacts created in Address Book on laptop do sync over to iPhone - no problem - but not the other way around. I must retype contacts daily created in the field to laptop. Apple specialist unable to find the problem. Passed on to engineering, end of January. Haven't heard a word.
    It worked fine until I updated 1.1.3. I had many issues after that update and am really leary of 1.1.4 after reading threads here. Have not updated.
    Also drives me crazy having to spin that stupid wheel to find contacts. Come on do designers actually use this thing?
    On the whole I'm happy with the iphone

    I tried erasing all the phone data as you suggested, but to no effect whatsoever (apart from having to setup my email/wifi etc. all over again).
    There's definitely something strange going on with the iPhone -> Mac connection. iPhoto shows the iPhone as being connected, even when it's not, and is still showing 23 pictures, which is what was on the phone before I reset it (they are now gone from the phone). iPhoto also calls it 'Apple iPhone', while I've changed the name to something else.
    Calendar syncing is still functioning flawlessly, but contacts created on the phone are still not being transferred.
    What's more, the contacts I added to the iPhone before I reset all the data were still on the phone afterwards.

  • Contacts created on iphone not saving to icloud

    When I create a new contact on my iphone4 it is not saving in the icloud ... therefore not transferring to my PC.  If I create a contact on my PC it is saving in the icloud and transferring to my iphone4.  Any ideas as to why this is happening?

    That must be the issue ... but how do I make sure when adding a new contact on the iphone that I am in the 'icloud' section?  I am looking at the new contact screen on the phone and do not see that as an option.
    thank you so much

  • Calender on iPhone not syncing with iCloud

    I am pretty sure it was working up until a few hours ago. I just popped in to add an event and boom, everything is gone and I cannot even add an event. I have no idea what is going on. I logged onto iCloud.com to see if my calenders are still there, and they are but does me no good as I carry my phone around all day and not my laptop..

    You need to delete the old me.com calendar account, and ensure that Calendar is switched on in the iCloud account settings on your iPhone.
