TS3999 Calender sync with iCloud

I have been trouble shooting my iPhone 3GS and my partners iPod as neither will sync with calender in the my cloud. I have discovered that neither have a place in Settings, Mail Contact Calender - to set the default calender. Is this deliberate or do I have a larger problem with iOS 5.1.1. nik

Scroll down in mail, contacts calendars, the calendars section should have 5 options, the bottom one being default calendar.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Calender syncing with Icloud and Maverick?

When upgrading to maverick my Calender has to sync with Icloud. The Calender has to shift to the serveraccount. But in the installment procedure it won't go past this. It is stuck in the shift. What to do??

Do a search of these forums for Calendar Connect to server never finishes. Or similar topic headers.
Also look to the right at the More Like This area. This has been covered and a work around posted in one of the threads dealing with this issue.

TS3999 My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone?

My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone? despite doing everything as per the support page. I keep on clicking the Add in but it wont "take"?
It use to, but no matter what I try nothing works. Using Windows 7. HELP!

This step is not clear:
"Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Outlook requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers."
The link takes me to an Apple page but which has nothing to do with ports. And there is nothing to explain what it is I am looking for, how to look for it, and how to change it if needed.
Also, this step:
"Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices."
iCloud automatically set up a "[email protected]...." account for me so I see that one plus my original email used to open my Apple account. And the apple products show my settings under both identities.
Make sure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook
This add-in is disabled because it doesn't allow Outlook to function properly.
Thanks!

I have an iPad 2. It synced all my information from my Android to the ipad. I cannot get my calender on my ipad to sync with iCloud. Can anyone help?

Okay, this is interesting, because I was under the impression that FOR IOS DEVICES, contacts are NOT included in a backup, since they are already on icloud (in the contact database). And since you erased the contacts, then they are gone for good. One recommendation I've read about is, assuming you have a computer like a Mac also connected to the same icloud account, you can get the contacts back from a backup of the computer, like Time Machine. However, I don't know where you'd look for that file or files (even though the contacts are stored centrally on icloud, I'm guessing they are also stored locally in a cache file).
I think another suggestion made here (IIRC) is to turn off syncing of contacts (on the device), then do a restore. Since there's no sync, icloud's empty contact database will not overwrite the local contacts on the deviced. Again, I may not be remembering correctly. Some of these older posts about this same problem were some time ago.
I'd welcome anyone who really knows the details on this to add to the discussion here. This is an issue faced by many posters.

TS3999 iPhone 4s sync with iCloud is random

Is anyone having trouble with the iPhone 4s syncing with iCloud. Mine seems completely random. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

I have a 4G iPhone and HP Laptop using Outlook 2007, with Vista 32 bit operating system.
Initially, syncing between Outlook, IPhone, and iCloud worked fine. Then I did something and the syncing (Contacts and Calendar) stopped working.
Is there a way to go back to go and re download iCloud again? Or is there a checklist I might reference to check all relevent settings?
Man, I do not have time for this.

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...

IPhone does not sync with iCloud

Thank you for help

Hi Daniel Stonek,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iPhone's calendar events are not syncing properly to other devices, I would use the iOS section of this article to troubleshoot:

My iMac desktop is not syncing with iCloud. Any suggestions?

All of a sudden, my iMac Desktop stopped syncing with iCloud. My mail, notes, etc. Have logged off, deleted the account and tried to start over, but to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, it syncs with my iPhone and iPad, just NOT with my Mac Desktop.

Hello, John!
I see that you are not having and issue with the syncing between your computer and iCloud. So we would need to look into the device settings to make sure all settings mirror what is set in the iCloud Control Panel. I have included a couple articles that will assist you in troubleshooting your iPhone 5. See the sections in the articles below referring to your iOS devices.

Syncing with iCloud despite XP incompatibility?

I have an iPhone (4S) and an iPad (2) and would love to sync with iCloud. But, because my PC is running Windows XP and Outlook 2003, both of which seem to be incompatible with iCloud, I have stayed away from iCloud, and I sync/backup both mobile devices exclusively to the PC. Normally this works fine. I work at my PC most every day and syncing to it is almost as convenient as to the cloud.
Soon, however, I’ll be traveling and away from my PC. I’ll have both mobile devices with me and will be editing and adding entries in Calender, Contacts, and who knows what else. I don’t want to have to make the entries in two devices, so iCloud could be very useful to me. I spoke with a specialist at a local Apple store who said there is no reason I can’t use iCloud to sync the devices, as long as I don’t bring the PC into the mix. He told me to go to Settings > iCloud on each of the devices, turn ON the items I want to sync, and make sure that "iCloud Backup" is OFF. Also make sure that the option "Back up to this computer" is checked in iTunes on the Summary tab for each device. He said I’ll be able to sync the mobile devices during my trip (when connected to a power source and while both are within the same WiFi network). When I return home, I can backup to my PC and the changes made on the devices will sync cleanly with the PC.
The Apple specialist said he has personal experience with this issue because he has an older Apple computer with an OS that, like XP, is incompatible with iCloud. He said the solution is just to keep the incompatible OS away from the cloud. If it is only the mobile devices (running the current iOS) that are syncing in iCloud, and the PC is kept away, everything will be fine.
I’ve read a lot of online posts about the XP-iCloud issue and none have suggested a solution like the one I have just described. Enough of them have recited horror stories of duplicated entries and other problems, such that I would like to have a second opinion (or three or four, or more) before I dare take the leap. If anyone has thoughts on this, please jump in.

Sir Winston, thanks for chiming in.
I do intend to sync and back up to iTunes before the trip.
With respect to turning on iCloud backup while I’m away, my understanding of what the specialist told me was that iCloud backup should remain off all the time. I may have misinterpreted what he said. or maybe I got it right and he was just wrong. I don’t know. Is it possible that backing up to iCloud and then later backing up to iTunes (in XP) somehow causes the duplication of entries that some users seed to have experienced? I don’t know why it would, but I don’t know.

I am trying to set up and sync with icloud but it says my email has not been verified. How do i do this? When i click the email verification nothing comes to my email allowing me to verify.

how can i get confirmed to sync with icloud?

You might try contacting iTunes store support. Even though this is an ID that you want to use for iCloud, it's still an Apple ID. iTuens store support deals with Apple ID issues all the time and they may be able to help you. Just explain that you are trying to verify your primary email address for your Apple ID but are not receiving the verification email from Apple, despite multiple attempts to resend it. You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
You might also check with your email provider to be sure they aren't blocking email from [email protected] as spam at their end.

I have my Calendar app syncing with iCloud. Every time I open it it says, "Moving Calendars to Server Account..." It runs and runs and does not stop. As a result, I cannot access my calendars. Please help.

Looking for a good document on family syncing with iCloud and multiple iOS devices

We have recently migrated off of Android devices for the whole family except for a Kindle Fire HD for my daughter. We all have an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch type device that we want to sync our family calendars/reminders/notes to. Is there a good document on how to setup this family environment so that our notes/reminders/appointments are all in sync on each other's device. That way we all know what each other is doing. Do we each have to have a separate Apple ID or do we all share the same Apple ID to make this syncing work. I think I get how to make this work between my PC, 2 - iPhones (work and personal) and iCloud Web. Now how do I layer on my other family members into my calendar digital Cloud? HELP ME PLEASE. I HAVE A DIGITAL MESS.
Right now I have a personal Apple ID for my personal devices, new iPhone 6 Plus coming. I have a separate Apple ID for my Work iPhone 4s. My wife and kids have iPhone 5s. Wife and son have an iPad.
Please tell me I don't have to go see Rush Limbaugh to figure out how to make all this work.
Thanks,
Bob

You could each have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, and also share a "family" account for syncing a family calendar, notes and reminders. That will allow you to maintain still keep your contacts, and other data and photo streams separated while having access to the shared the family data in the secondary account. It also gives everyone their own free 5GB of storage for their backups, etc. The shared family calendar, notes and reminders will appear alongside your other calendars, notes and reminders in the corresponding apps on your devices. You'll just need to be sure to select the correct account within these apps when entering data to ensure it is added to either your personal or the shared family account.
To do this, create your primary accounts in the usual way, by going to Settings>iCloud and signing in with separate IDs and turn on the data sets you want to sync with iCloud. Then create a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different ID and have everyone add this account to their devices as a shared family account. You can sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with the secondary account, although you may want to just turn on calendars, notes and reminders.
You can continue to share the same iTunes store ID on all devices if you wish. It does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud. Also, each person should use their own ID (such as the primary iCloud ID) for iMessage and FaceTime, otherwise you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
If you don't want to do all of this, and are primarily concerned about sharing your calendars, you can do that as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a8694.
Another option to consider is to look into the new Family Sharing feature of iOS 8 if all of your devices will support iOS 8: https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/. The details on this haven't been released yet but should start to appear after it is released tomorrow.

Hello Rsd841979,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It's not very clear to me what you're trying to accomplish with iCloud, but if you want to start backing up to iCloud, then you can follow the directions in the article below. If this is not what you are trying to do, then please let me know what you're wanting to use iCloud with.

Mail won't sync with icloud.

I have an iphone 4 32gb, Win 7 x64, itunes 11.02.26, ios 6.1.2, and Outlook 2010. Recently had to do a complete Windows reinstall from scratch, but everything was backed up and is up and running normally again.
The iTunes info tab for my iphone says that my contacts, calenders, tasks are being synced with my iphone over the air with icloud. The mail is not. Previously it was. The icloud control panel only says the 'contacts, calenders and tasks with outlook' being synced, but mail is not listed. Clicking on the message only unchecks the tickbox.
MS Outlook has my @me.com account installed and working and 3 other email accounts, and the icloud refresh button on the toolbar is working ok. The same mail accounts are installed on the iphone and work ok. My phone and Outlook can each access all my mail accounts seperately without a problem. At present I have left the mail tickbox unchecked on the itunes info page for my iphone. (I dont want to mess up the information on either unless I have to). There are no checkboxes for the contacts, calenders or tasks as they are using icloud. Under 'settings/general/icloud' on my iphone, Mail and calenders are both selected to ON.
When I try to log into icloud.com, I get a message that 'icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server', but the system status check shows no problem.
How do I get my mail to sync between outlook and icloud the same as calenders, contacts, tasks and bookmarks?
Regards,
Freespeed2

If I understand what you are saying, iCloud seems like its over-hyped and is pretty useless for Mail and Calendar. It makes no sense to me to have Calendar and Mail available on iCloud if it doesn't show the same Calendar and Mail that is on your iMac and iPad.
Yes, my Calendar syncs with Google as well as on the iPad and iMac. Why shouldn't it also sync with iCloud?
Because it's a Google Service not an iCloud service, you can still sync it to your Mac and your devices, just not using iCloud.

HT1688 I have a new iphone 5. I can not get my contact to sync with icloud on my iMac. I have an msn account for email.

I have an imac with OS X 10.8.2 and an iphone 5. i have AT&T service and msn email account. My contacts and calendar are not syncing with icloud! I have all the settings adjusted correctly and I can not figure out why it won't sync.

iPhones running iOS 6 require iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or later. You will have to upgrade OS X, then download the latest version of iTunes.
You can copy your iTunes library to the new machine either manually, or you can use the migration assistant built into OS X to transfer the entire account. Up to 5 computers can be activated using the same iTunes account.
