Using iCloud - why don't my iPhone and iPad calendar appointments match?

I use iPhone 5C and iPad Air.
I recently decided to ditch using Outlook 2010 Calendar on my PC (Windows 8) and switch to iCloud - a drastic decision after using Outlook for 15 years.
I created a new iCloud account and turned on Contacts and Calendar (I only want to sync these two functions) on both devices.
I also selected 'Sync events 6 months ago' on both devices.
With everything crossed, I expected to see the same calendar entries on both devices sync with each other, creating duplicate calendars, but this is not the case.
All calendar events for the last 6 months appear on my iPad but not on my iPhone (although some do).
Any suggestions what might have caused this and what the solution is?
I've been trying to resolve the issue for the last couple of days without any luck.
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Steve

Hi Steve
Thanks very much for your speedy response.
I have considered trying this. But when when I turn off Settings->iCloud->Calendar I get a message that says:
What would you like to do with the previously synced iCloud calendars on your iPhone? Keep on my iPhone. Delete from my iPhone. Cancel.
I cancelled the action as I don't know what option I should chose. If I select Delete from my iPhone, does this also delete them from the iCloud, which will in turn delete them from my iPad? Or do I select keep on my iPhone?
Thanks.
Steve (not far away in Sheffield)

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • Why don't my iPhone and iPad sync wirelessly anymore?

    I just started college and ever since I got here, my phone and iPad 4 have not been syncing with iTunes wirelessly and it drives me crazy. I have wifi here and they're all connected to the same network...what might be preventing this from working?

    Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>On. Do that on both devices. Or Settings>Photos and Camera>Photo Stream>On.
    Photo Stream will only work with new photos that you have taken with either device - after you turn it on. It will not stream photos that were on the device before you turned it on.
    And of course, you must be connected to Wifi in order for it to work.

  • HT204023 I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

  • Question on iCloud accts:  I have my iPhone and iPad on one account, but my Mac is set up on my old mobile me acct.  Can't figure out how to change an iCloud account number on my Mac so I can sync all three.

    Question on iCloud accounts:  I have my iPhone and iPad on one iCloud account, but my Mac is on my old Mobile me account.  Can't figure out how to change my iCloud account on my MacBook Pro so all 3 are synced.

    First, open System Preferences > MobileMe and log out. Then, open  > About this Mac and see Version. If you see 10.5.x or 10.6.x, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is compatible, upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
    When you have upgraded, go to System Preferences > iCloud and follow its steps

  • HT1947 After updating My Apple TV to 5.1 I can browse music library using the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad but cannot select a song to play. Is someone else having the same problem?

    I have updated my Apple TV to 5.1. Using the Remote app on my IPhone and iPad I can browse the music library on the Apple TV but I cannot select a song to play. Has someone else the same problem?
    Mats

    I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • My ical won't sync with my iphone and ipad calendar?

    I cannot get my Mac ical  calendar to sync new appointments added from mac to iphone and ipad calendar.  I have downloaded iCloud. When I add a new appointment to my iphone it syncs rights away to my ipad calendar but not to my mac computer and vice versa.
    Any suggestions?

    On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon.  Turn on iCloud.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.
    One of the services is ICal.

    2) Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>scroll to Calendars section>Default Calendar>iCloud.
    3) Open Calendar app> tap the "Calendars" button (upleft corner)>tap "Show All Calendars".

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

  • Can I use my itunes with both my iphone and ipad using one computer?

    Can I sync my iphone and ipad on the same computer using itunes installed on the same computer?

    Yes - I sync my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch with the same computer / iTunes and haven't had any issues when doing so. The computer's iTunes will recognise the device and what syncing selections you have for it, so you can have different selections of apps, music, films etc on them if you want.

  • Deleted Music in iTunes and now iPhone and iPad do not match up.

    I recently I did a purge of all old music in my iTunes library to also make space on my iPhone and iPad. My iPad has numerous songs which I have kept not being able to play. It is grey'ed out and have the circle with a stop button next to it. On my iPhone however the case is different. I still have all the songs which I wanted gone still on the phone. What do I do to fix this issue because it is becoming very very annoying as I can barely listen to anything on my iPad and the iPhone is running out of space. I do not want to have to do a total device restore because I will lose some information. I have also tried un-syncing the music from the devices and re-sync them but it has not helped.

  • Can I use iCloud to store photos from iPhone and Mac?

    I would like to use iCloud like Dropbox. I have photos that were taken on my iphone and photos that are loaded on my Mac from a camera that I would like to store in the Cloud. I would also like others be able to download their photos of this event to the same Icloud account. Is that possible?.

    The only way you can store photos in iCloud indefinitely is if you add them to a shared stream.  However, when you do this, the photo will be at a lower resolution than the originals.
    My photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for all your devices to receive them.  The only other photos in iCloud are camera roll photos stored in your backup.  However, you can't see anything in the backup unless you restore it to your device.  Also, if you delete the photos from your device and continue to back it up, the backup that contains the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and they wil be lost.

  • How do I set up a new iCloud account separate for my iphone and ipad?

    I have an old iCloud account for my iphone and when I bought an ipad last year I used the same iCloud account. I now have no storage left and my iphone won't back up. I want to upgrade my iphone soon but don't want to lose all my photos, contacts, etc.
    I have spent the last hour trying to create a new iCloud account so I have two separate ones for my iphone and iCloud, to no avail. Apple don't seem to have any information I submit and I am just going round in circles updating passwords! And re-enters new account details. I haven't received an email registering my new iCloud account.
    Can anyone help! Can I create two iCloud accounts? Why can't i! Even though I am using two separate email addresses.

    If it's stuck on verifying it's because she never responded to the verification email that Apple should have sent to the primary email address she used for the Apple ID she set it up with.  She should check her inbox and spam/junk folder for this email and click on the Verify Now link to verify the account.  If the email isn't there, she can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under her Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
    Or, you can just delete the account (which is a misnomer since until verified the account isn't really created).
