My IPhone 5s calendar will not update through the cloud with my iPad.  How do I get the two to communicate?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.


        1.    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).

        2.    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.

        3.    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.

    Ah!  My iPad seems to be using yahoo calendar instead of I cloud. I'm not sure how this happened but is there a way to combine the two on my iPad without losing all my current scheduled events?

    Unless you have both sets of calendars on a computer you will need to edit each appointment and change the calendar for that appointment.
