Q: Ical on Mac Server Busy Error not updating Icloud across devices

I am getting this error:

 

The server at p34-caldav.icloud.com is currently unable to handle the connection for account “iCloud” due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. If this continues you should contact the server administrator.

 

 

You may try to connect to the server again.

 

 

It is not allowing calendar changed to be updated across devices and shared calendars.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    Hi bentaylor201,

    If you are receiving error messages that the iCloud server is undergoing maintenance, check the system status as outlined in the resource below.  

    Get help using iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders

    Try these steps first

    Make sure that iCloud Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders are available. If there's an issue, try again after it's fixed. If there isn't an issue, try the steps below.

    Remember to back up your contacts, calendars, and reminders, so you don't lose anything. 

    After each step, see if you still need help:

    1. Check for updates to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touchMac, or PC. To use iCloud, your devices need to meet the system requirements
    2. See if the date and time settings on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC are correct. 
    3. Make sure that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all your devices and check your settings. 
         
      • On your iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you turn on what you want to update (Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders).
      •  
      • On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you select what you want to update (Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders). 
      •  
      • On your PC, open iCloud for Windows. Check your Apple ID and and make sure that you select what you want to update (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks). Reminders are called Tasks in iCloud for Windows. 
    4. Open Safari and go to www.apple.com to check your connection. if you can’t open the page, get help connecting to the Internet
    5. Open a secure website, like your Apple ID account page, to see if you can access port 443. If the website won't open, contact your Internet service provider for help. Safari needs access to port 443 to update your information in iCloud. 

     

    Take care,
