Q: Imported .ics file not syncing to iCloud

Good morning,

 

I have tried to ssearch the forums for this question but to no avail.

 

I have imported a .ics file to my iCloud calendar on my iPad. The calendar has multiple events per day. However after importing, the events show up on my iPad but no other device that I have signed in to my iCloud account. If I go into an individual event and edit any property of it then click 'done', the event will then immediately show up on all my iCloud devices.

 

As you can imagine that's quite time consuming. Am I right in thinking imported events should upload straight to iCloud without me needing to edit a property of it to 'refresh' it?

 

I have tried all the troubleshooting steps in this article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar

 

Thanks for any help.

 

KInd regards,

Tom

    Hello all,

     

    So glad I found this thread. I hope this helps someone.

     

    My problem: I created an iCloud calendar in Calendar on my Macbook and imported an .ics calendar. That worked fine but the calendar's events did not show up on my iPhone Calendar app nor on iCloud.com. To be clear, the calendar showed up but not the events. I have been searching for about a day for a solution across forums, articles, etc.

     

    My solution: Can't believe this but what worked for me was logging into iCloud.com, going to iCloud Calendar and UNCHECKING the calendar, then RECHECKING the calendar (see screenshot). The iCloud calendar's events now show up on my

     

    If you don't see the calendar on iCloud.com, try adding a new iCloud calendar on your Macbook's Calendar app and upload your .ics there then try my solution above. Good luck!Screen Shot 2015-06-30 at 12.48.04 PM.png

    I uploaded my calendar events from the web directly to my ipad but couldn't do this on my iphone (ir wouldn't work). My uploaded ipad events did not appear on other devices or the icloud. They just would not sync.  When I tried editing the events  this did the trick as they now appeared on my iphone. I also tried to revert the edit on my ipad but it did not change on the iphone. I found that the ipad event has to be editied in order for it to sync to the iphone. It's beyound my understanding.

    It’sSeptember again one of the two calendar month of  the year! I have tested in
    IOS 8.4.1 and my imported .ics file are syncing again!

     

    In IOS 8.3 my files were not syncing. But I have used the work around that Chris
    Beeson 2 had suggested on page 1 (12-31-2014) and that worked. Every new file
    after this work around synced automatically like it would be.  So I think it’s more a bug in the icloud connection
    than in the agenda application.

     

    The work around from Chris:
    Go to Settings/iCloud, and turn off
    Calendars. When asked, choose to keep the calendars on the iPad. This will
    establish all your entries in local calendars, including those from the new
    .ics file.

     

    Turn Calendars back on in iCloud, and let the iPad sync with iCloud. After
    a short while this will sync all your entries, including the new ones, with
    iCloud.

    Same thing here and it does not help even if I change the event. It does not sync. This started to happen recently.

    I have exactly the same issue after updating to El Capitan. Cannot sync .ics file from my Mac with my iPhone. I found a manual workaround but it doesn't help me much since I have like 500 event to sync:
    Just change the Calendar from the list assigned to the event and change back (e.g. iCloud (Home) ->iCloud (Work) ->iCloud (Home).

    I hope Apple will fix this bug sooooon.

    Cheers!

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for improvement. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
