Will iCloud sync with hotmail calendar?

I'm trying to sync main work calendar with ipad2. Wondering if cloud is better than traditional sync methods.

I also have the same issues regarding the poorly designed calendar integration and synch. I now have two calendars, Outlook and iCloud. iCloud doesn't see the Outlook calendar events automatically and copying them over to the iCloud calendar, resends invitations. No apparent way to change default email account to work vs personal email. Without this, Calendar invites get sent using personal account instead of business account. Very frustrating. Pretty dumb to miss this obvious use case.
Like others have said the duplication of events is also a pain. While the desktop synch required you to connect PC to phone, at least it worked without all these dumb issues. I seriously considering returning to connected synch. Very disappointing; not a real solution to keeping multiple devices in synch, in fact in many ways it makes it worse.

Can Icloud sync with google calendar and gmail?

We use google calendar at my office and share it with our staff. I thought we would be able to sync those calendars with icloud and google. Before icloud, I set up an exchange account on Ipad, iphone, imac and it works well for calendar and email. I thought I could replace that sync with icloud, but it seems to not be designed that way. Should google calendar and gmail users stick with google?

THANK YOU ithos!
I have searched and searched to try and find a way to sync my Google calendars with iCloud.
You don't exactly say how to make this happen, but you gave me enough nuggets to put it together. Thank you for responding and helping me put it all together.
I have 5 Google calendars (Family, Work, Church, Extended Family Birthdays, US Holidays). My wife, two different assistants and I all share and update the calendars. I want all this to continue since it affects every aspect of my life. I sit at a PC at work and need to be able to view all those calendars during the work week, I also need to be able to view and edit from work (pc), iPhone, wife's iPhone, assistants computers, and our home (mac). So, staying Google - for now, is what I need.
I just upgraded to the 4S and Siri is one of the main reasons. Without iCloud syncing with my calendars Siri is USELESS with calendaring stuff. So, I have to have Siri able to view my calendars as well.
So, with that info, here's how I got it all to work.
For those of you who need a start to finish explanation, here it is:
1. Computer running the OS Lion (mine's an iMac)
2. Open iCal on the Mac
3. Open your Google Calendar
4. In iCal go to iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts.
Make sure iCloud is listed under Accounts. This was my default, so I didn't have to make any changes. If yours lists something different, sorry. I don't know how to change it. But I believe this is a KEY component as ithos above mentions that the subscription be 'located' on iCloud.
5. In iCal go to Calendar --> Subscribe
This will force a pop up asking you for the URL of the calendar you are trying to subscribe to.
Where do you find this URL? I found this article from 2006 that gives the low down:
http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/13/howto-subscribe-to-a-google-calendar-using-ical/
Don't worry, even though it's from 2006 it still works. Here are the steps in a nutshell, but you should read the short article so you don't miss anything.
6. In Google Calendar you need to dig into EACH calendar that you want to 'Subscribe to' and find the unique URL for that calendar. This will allow you to then force iCal to look at and scrape the data from this calendar as often as every 5 minutes. As you follow the articles steps (they are very easy) then your iCal calendar will populate with the Google calendar data from the calendar you subscribed to. I had to do this for EACH calendar I wanted to show up on my iCal calendar.
7. I then grabbed my iPhone and asked Siri, "What does my day look like tomorrow?" She responded with all my iCal / iCloud (which are all subscribed to my Google calendars) calendar data. I smiled
This ONLY allows the Google info to be pushed to iCal / iCloud. It doesn't allow the info to go the other way.
It won't let Siri manipulate the iCal/iCloud calendar or the Google calendar. But at least Siri can see what's already there. So, a step in the right direction.
Good luck!

Razr Maxx Calendar will not sync with Exchange Calendar

My Thunderbolt synced fine....just switched to the Razr Maxx Friday and the Calendar will not sync with my Exchange Calendar. Email and contacts are syncing fine.

I guess I'm screwed. My Razr HD calendar won't sync with Google - apparently all my events were on the phone calendar and not Googe calendar. After following prior posts, I cleared the data on my phone's calendar - now my events are gone and I don't know when my next appointments are. Any way to retrieve that data? Any way to sync the two calendars - or to make sure the darn appointments are placed on the Google calendar and not the stupid phone calendar?
You have to select the Google/Gmail account as the location where to save the event. In the screen where you are adding the info to create the event there is a spot for choosing which calendar to save it to. This is where you pick the Gmail calendar.

I recently had a problem with my iPhone 3G. I upgraded to OS 5.1.1. The thing crashed. I took it to the AT&T store and they cleared it of everything. So I re-installed all of my personal stuff and apps. All is again OK with the exception of the calendar. It will not sync with my home computer and is blank. How do I correct this?

What are you keeping your calendar in on your PC? Outlook?

Pearl 8110 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110, and I upgraded the Desktop Manager, then it quit syncing with outlook calendar. It does sync with noes, memos, addresses, but no calendar. when the sync is getting to the calendar it says "please wait" then just kicks me out. No error message in the log, nothing. I even retrograded back to 4.7.0.17, but no changed. Here is what else I have:
Blackberry 4.5.0 Core Applications 4.5.0
Blackberry 4.5.0 System Software Properties
Blackberry MDS runtime Properties 4.5.0.20
The calendar is the big thing for me. Any Ideas??
Thanks

I just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same problem with my 8120 and it started on the 18th. I spent 3 hours, 39 minutes, and 42 seconds on the phone with BB support yesterday with no luck and we tried every trick they could think of. I'll certainly let you know if I find any information since I too can't live without my calendar.

I had iCloud on my Microsoft Office 2010 and tried to increase the font size - I read to unistall and reinstall, so I did. This took iCloud away from Calendars and Contacts. I re-installed iCloud and it will not sync with my Calendars

I had iCloud installed, and it was working, then I wanted to increase font size in the notes section of Calendar. I read to uninstall iCloud and reinstall iCloud and it would be fixed.
Once I reinstalled iCloud it did not show up in Microsoft Office 2010 - Calendar or Contacts.........which it had previous to the uninstall.
When I sync it errors. I am at my wits end trying to sync this, and it just keeps erroring. I am not syncing phots/photo stream, just contacts and calendar.
Please can anyone tell me what setting I have to change??

Needed to add some clarification here:
iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing

Can iCloud sync with yahoo calendar/?

trying to sync yahoo contacts and address book with IPhone thru the cloud. Had MobileMe with no problem. Any suggestions?

After experiencing the same problem and doing a little research, I found out that this is a Yahoo problem, and not an iCloud problem. Yahoo is aware of the synching issue and is working on it. FYI....after 5 days of no luck, my events and notes JUST reappeared on my iPhone and iPad, so be patient.
It may help to delete the yahoo acct on your phone/ipad and then reinstall. If you go to Yahoo support and type in Calendar, you will get the message about them working on fixing this problem.

DM 4.6 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

Using Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2003, BB Pearl 8130. Used DM 4.3 for nearly a year without issue. Just upgraded to DM 4.6. During sync, DM will read addresses, tasks, and memos, and appears to read the calendar from the device, but when it gets to reading the Outlook Calendar, I get "program has encountered an error and must shut down". I uninstalled 4.6, tried 4.5, then back to 4.3 but exact same issue with each version now. I can change the settings in sync to skip sync of calendar and all is well. But as soon as I check calendar in settings, same issue. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times. I even wiped the device (typical answer from Verizon). USB cable is on back of laptop, not hub. Any advice?

Forgot to mention, DM 4.6 seems to run much slower than DM 4.3 used to.
yes, there is a speed gap between 4.3 (fast) and 4.5/4.6 (slow).

Calendar will not sync with Google calendar. Won't accept my Gmail password.

iPhone 5s 16GB (2.9 GB free), iOS 8.1.3
When I attempt to enter an event in Calendar, I get a message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Gmail account "Gmail'".
But when I try to enter my Gmail password, the app won't accept it and the same message appears. And entries don't show up on my Google calendar..
I tried turning off calendars in iCloud but that didn't help. Also turned off all calendars
This is not an operating system issue - keeps happening through several iOS updates.

Correction: Turned off all calendars in calendar app other than Google calendar for my Gmail account.

How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

Hi,
I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

IPhone 3G not Syncing with Outlook Calendar 2007

Can anyone help, since updating iTunes to version 8.1.0.52 my iPhone will not sync with Outlook Calendar 2007. I have deleted itunes and re-installed as per Apples instructions and this has no effect. Everything was fine up to the point of updating iTunes. iPhone syncs with everything else just fine.
Regards
Phil

I am having the same problem since last update. I thought it was my wife's sync with a Nokia but after deleting that sync it still is not happening and trying to sync the calendar events for hours. Would love for iTunes to fix the problem.
Does anyone know if you can download an old version of iTunes? Regards Lee

IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
Restarting iPhone
Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
Any help is appreciated.
Manolis

Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files. I"ll see if that works. ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

Outlook will not sync with icloud

when i add calendar events to icloud, they will not sync with outlook on my pc. they immediately sync with my iphone so i know it is not the icloud settings. the refresh button on outlook just continues to get hung up and the new events never populate on the outlook calendar on my pc. is there any way to resolve this?

THANKS!
I know how you feel, I'm glad I could help.

Be aware: iCloud sync with Outlook can mangle calendar.

Hey Apple, this is really unfriendly behavior! Not warning of the irreversible changes that will be made in Outlook is irresponsible, to say the least. Syncing calendar data with iCloud does the following:
1. Creates a new calendar named "Calendar in iCloud".
2. Transfers all existing calendar data to the new calendar, removing it from the original calendar "Calendar".
Why is this a problem?
1. "Calendar" is still the default calendar for new entries and it is not synced.
2. Entries for "Calendar in iCloud" don't appear in the ToDo Bar.
3. If you accept an outlook invitation, it is created in "Calendar" so it is not synced.
4. If you sync with Google Calendar from Outlook, as I do, the first sync will wipe out all Goole Calendar entries because it is syncing with "Calendar".
5. I haven't found a way to reverse this mess.
Thanks for the new features.

I also have the same issues regarding the poorly designed calendar integration and synch. I now have two calendars, Outlook and iCloud. iCloud doesn't see the Outlook calendar events automatically and copying them over to the iCloud calendar, resends invitations. No apparent way to change default email account to work vs personal email. Without this, Calendar invites get sent using personal account instead of business account. Very frustrating.
