Problem ical synch to icloud

iCloud calendar acting up.
Web app for icloud calendar synchs fine with ipad and iphone. iCal on my Mac desktop doesn't synch in either direction. Deleted icloud account on mac and installed it again. No joy. Constant "Calendar - Updating" message at top of ical screen with no progress after 1 hour.
Seems there's something else on the desktop I need to clear out.
Thoughts?

OS is 10.8.3

Why don't' some recurring events in iCal synch via iCloud with my iPad2

This may be a question better asked on the iCloud community, but I already have something similar there.
Not all of my recurring events sych via the iCloud with my Mac and IOS devices. For example, my anniversary appears on my Mac and my iPhone, but not on my iPad2.
I notice that when I click on "Calendars" when the iCal app is open in my iPhone I get 2 lists of calendars - one that is labled "On my iphone" and the other that is labled "iCloud". The same two lists appear in the iCal app on my Mac. But on my iPad2 the only list that appears is "iCloud".
Can anyone help with this issue?

Here's somthing Apple suggested to me for some problems I was having that was related to the basic features of the iPhone. Connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iTunes and.....
1 - backup your iPhone to your computer
2 - restore the iPhone to factory settings.
3 - restore the backup.

Can you help me solve ical synch problem going from iPhone to MacBook Air?

My iPhone calendar contains a lot of important meetings. I am about to migrate from my 3GS to iPhone 5 but since I cannot seem to properly synchronize my iCal from my iPhone to to my MacBook Air, i.e. I cannot see any events from my iPhone in my Mac's calendar. I am thus afraid to activate and jump to my iPhone 5, which is collecting dust at this point, because if this calendar fails to reemerge from the "Cloud" I am in deep horsedung.
I have all of the iCloud settings turned on for synching. I have gone to Storage and Backup and hit Synch Now and that update seems to occur via any feedback my iPhone is giving me.
I have a suspicion that since I was forced to create a 2nd account in order to synch "Notes" to the iCloud that such may be causing some of the problems, but honestly, prior to doing that I synched to iCloud so this inability to see my iPhone calendar on my Mac is more longstanding.
I also cannot seemingly log out of iCloud with one ID on my MacBook Air and sign in with another without iCloud telling me that I am going to lose all of my Contacts and previous data that I synched up with the current ID. What's that all about? That does not seem like typically brilliant Apple Design to me. Most of end up with more than one Apple ID, especially since the "Notes" synch forces you to sign up for yet another iCloud ID. I thoroughly researched that problem online at many forums before reluctantly adding another Apple ID.
My environment is MacBook Air OS X 10.7.4 and 3GS with IOS 5 (iPhone 5 with undoubtedly IOS 6 sitting in the hangar)
Thanks for any insight in advance.

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.

ICal calendar missing after synch with iCloud

I am using OS X 10.8.5 and iCal 6.0. When I tried to synch with iCloud it initially got stuck updating the server. After force quiting the program the calendar is now gone. Is there any way to get the missing calendar back?

I have had exactly the same problem - clearly a common problem Apple should be looking at preventing?! Is there any way I can safely activate iCloud calendars etc once I've restored my backed up calendar without everything being erased again? Any help much appreciated, thanks

All my devices synch with iCloud except my iPhone

I just bought a Mac Mini with Lion. Hooked it up to iCloud. Loaded IOS 5 on the iPad2 and iPhone 3GS, but low and behold, iCal synchs fine except for with the iPhone. I checked the iCloud setting on the iPhone and all of them are on. I have a .mac account. Why oh why?

I had the same problem and could't fix it. I several calendars and I inadvertently noticed that one was not checked/highlighted. Turns out, that was the calendar that what was not syncing. I would check that.

ICal Syncing Issues: iCloud & iMac to iPhone Not Working

I use iCal. I updated my iCal on my iMac and it updated to iCloud, but not my iPhone. When I open iCal on my iPhone, it cycles and cycles to update, but doesn't update. What can I do to get my iPhone iCal to sync?

I have the same issue. I have 2 iPhones (4 and 5) and an MacBook. When I enter an event in the MacBook, the event doesn't appear on either iPhone and conversely when I enter and event in the iPhones, it doesn't appear in the MacBook (and all devices are connected to internet via WiFi). It all used to work fine until about June 20th. The events are all entered on iCloud-synchronized calendars. When I send invites to events to myself or others, these are not received. Mail synchronization works fine between devices. As a test, I'll set up a Google calendar and see if this problem is related to iCloud.

My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud. Until recently, we would receive email notifications if either of us made changes to or added an event to the iCal calendar. Does anyone know why those email notifications stopped?

My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud. Until recently, we received email notificiations anytime either of us made changes to exisiting calendar events or added new items to the calendar. Does anyone know why these email notificiations stopped?

iCloud was experiencing problems with this a couple of days ago, where many users with shared calendars were getting email notifications even though their iCloud settings did not select to receive them. Perhaps when they fixed this problem it reverted your settings to not receive email notifications. Got to iCloud and check your setting for this. If it still look correct, try turning off email notifications, save the change, then turn them back on again and save the change again.

Does Mac Outlook synch with iCloud?

After spending a couple of hours at Genuis bar and another 90 minutes on the phone with tech support, I wanted to let the community know that Mac Outlook does not synch with iCloud. The calendar and contact updates go into a "on the Mac" part of iCal and Address Book respectively. The updates in these sections do not get synched up to iCloud and therefore to your mobile devices.
As I had searched for an answer to this question on the web previously and did not find any entry so I wanted to ensure that others looking for answer can get it (without tying up Apple's tech support resources). The extra time that I spent was trying to remove and resynch these databases before finding someone who knew the answer.
For calendar activities, you can reclass them into an iCloud category manually. For contact update, you have to also put them into the Address Book.
I hope this helps. Hopefully, Apple provides the access and Microsoft implements the code required to synch these services.

Thank you so much for unequivocally clearing this up! I have spent the last few days trying to work this out as I found it insane that I can easily sync Outlook (2007 I think it is) on my PC with the iCloud but couldn't get it to work on my husbands Outlook for Mac 2011.
I hope people find your post first rather than wading through a million other posts in utter frustration like I did! Whilst it's still frustrating at least I have some peace that I'm not missing something.
Thanks again!

Numbers not synching with iCloud

Dear Apple
Numbers on my iOS devices and my iMac do not synch with iCloud. I have been struggling with this issue for 2 months. When oh when will Apple fix this.
My decides:
iMax iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1(14B25)
iPad series 2 running iOS 8.1.1
iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.1
Help please as the only way i can work is to use my iPhone only at present.

Dear Apple
Do I really think you read the message above...well no I don't think you have the time. However, the problem seems now to be fix. Last evening the iMac and iPhone started to be in sych and I fully tested changes in both directions. At that time the iPad was still not synched. This morning the set of files that the iPad was looking at seemed to be more up to date. I then started my iMac and ran the iTunes synch again for the iPad and iPhone. Magically all devices are now in synch. No time to test that changes from the iPad now but I believe all will now be well. How odd!

My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4. Any idea what I should do?

I can't figure out what's going on. Been working on this all day. Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything. The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list. I use quickbooks 2012 for mac. It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac. If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac. But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone. If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book. It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks. No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone. It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks. I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

Ask your question.How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar

How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar?

And the additional problem is that once you give in and go iCloud, no rep will tell you there are iCloud limits on iCal's size, so that if you're calendar is say 10 years old, with 10 events per day, and there's a 25K event limit, it won't work, even if you buy all the storage in the world. Which means that's syncing is OVER.
So far I've tried three calendar alts: Fantastical (rated one of the top iCal alts); Pocket Informant (allegedly capable of superpowers); and Calendars. Not a single one is able to do the one simple task of
1) integrating an ical ics file,
2) placing a calendar program on the desktop and the iPhone
3) keeping them both in sync.
And Google's cloud has even more restrictions than iCloud, and for frack's sake why can't I keep a calendar off the net?
This is really getting to annoy me. Chelsea, a tech support supervisor, offered that if I pay $99/year I can become a developer and get the next beta iTunes which will allegedly offer local syncing. Great.

I bought Pages and Numbers for my iMac and so far everything was OK.
Suddenly i have a problem with connection to iCloud.
Dokuments created on iMac in Pages or Numbers are not transfered to iCloud. Not uploaded to iCloud. There is a sign (small shape of iCloud), that they are waiting to be uploaded to iCloud.
I think the iCloud is OK.

But not on iMac.
i dont know what has happened and I am not abble to find the solution. It was OK till some days ago….

I have a similar problem! Everything stopped working after upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.4 through the App Store. Help!

IMac contacts do not synch with iCloud, iPhone & iPad contacts do

When I add/modify contacts on my MacBook Pro, the changes do not synch to iCloud, or my iPhone or iPad. Calendar items and iCloud mail do synch and contactys synch between my iPhone and iPad. What am I missing? I have Lion.

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
