iCloud calendar not syncing to iPhone, iCloud calendar not syncing to iPhone

I've been having the same problem since iOS 5 beta... I can't make it work! I see my calendar events on icloud.com and on my iPad, but not on my phone... my last resource would be to re-setup icloud... (disabling my icould account on my iPhone and enabling it again)

That did the trick! 🙂 (it takes a little bit)

didn't work even after reset

I was having a similar problem where Calendar events I would add to my iPhone would not sync to my iPad or iCloud. What I realized is that in Calendar settings on my iPhone there is a calendar which is listed "On My iPhone" as simply "Calendar". That was where all my default events would go. Somehow, though, on my iPad and iCloud, only "Work" calendar entries seemed to sync.

Now I never really differentiated - I somehow stumbled into different calendars. This is the only way I figured out that "Work" was syncing across all levels. So this may not work for everyone who likes to separate Work and Home, but I edited my future events to change them to the "Work" calendar - and will make all entries in "Work" from now on - and now it all syncs.

Maybe there's another fix, but I think for my particular case - where most of my calendar entries are made on my iPhone - and were made in the default "Calendar" calendar, it works now.

ok, i think this might help....ive been working with this issue for the past three hours.....when u log into icloud and go to calendar...look at the top left...initially i only had work and home listed....i added the word "calendar" under the edit option (it turned blue color).....then i went to my calendar on my iphone4, clicked calendars at top left corner and clicked "all icloud" and that did the job....how or why i have no idea, but it worked for me

I was having the same problem. I had already deleted my iCloud account on my iPhone several times, but I did it again, and for some reason this last time, it apparently corrected the issue, and I can now see my events on all devices.

My problems with Calenders has been solved! My 4S iPhone arrived and it's synced with not one single itty bitty problem.....yet! Lol!

It worked! Deleting iCloud and re-enabling it synced my iCal on my iPhone.

Hi- can you please explain 'how' you deleted iCloud from iPhone and which setting you use on both iPhone and ICal (which claendars?) thanks - Im going crazy here trying to sort this.

To Stressed Mum:

Go To Settings > iCloud > Scroll down > Delete Account. Then create the accoutn again. This solved my calendat problems. Make sure you are using the same account in all places.

ok, maybe this is a silly question, but I've been messing with this so long my brain is fried. The email I use for my icloud account...should that be the account where my calendar is on that i want synched? The same email address, same password etc? I'm confused.

Thanks Thomas - I've deleted it from iphone now. It's remaining deleted too! I've got to get my head around Lion now and then I'll think about iCloud again at another time. Bloomin thing! Trouble is I use Entrouage first - then that goes to iCal and iCal goes to iPhone. ... but iPhone does not go to iCal and iCal does not go to Entourage. Tra la la!! Back to syncing with usb - download Lion to support iCloud and have got nowhere in 24 hours+ . Thanks again for your help though. SM 😟

I've been having similar problems (not syncing correctly, duplicates, etc) to the point I'm not using iCloud (know I should). The reply to Stressed Mum made me think of something. If you go to settings/iCloud/iCloud Account. My account should be my normal email (in my case aol), when I click on Account it's my Apple ID (email) Should Advanced show my iCloud address (xxxxx@me.com)? Thanks this may give me the nerve to try again.

I hate to have to write this but Apple's iCloud is completely broken for me.

iCloud Calendar is not syncing correctly with iPhone or iPad, ditto Contacts. When I try to unlink my devices from iCloud, the devices hang attempting to remove the feature until I shut them down. Today all my contacts had vanished from my phone (in fact, all I saw under Contacts was a blank white screen). Ditto for iPad.

Couldn't make a phone call - the phone app also just showed a blank white screen. This is pretty well fatal for a phone device!

Currently restoring my phone, but I think if that works I'm going to turn off iCloud completely until Apple fix it.

OK, I too have had issues. But after some investigating I found the root cause for the syncing issues between the iPhone, iPad, and iCal on my Mac.

The reason people are having issues is due to a mis-match of "calendar type" slected when one makes a calendar entry and not having all the calendar types selected to show on each device. Let me illustrate this point by images and ellaboration.

A calendar event must be associated to one of three calendar choices on the iCloud calendar type - Home, Work, or Calendar. Also, if you use a calendar type to make an entry then you must have that type selected to show on all devices. Otherwise it will show on those that have it enabled and not on device that don't have it enabled.

I have created four test events to illustrate this point. Test 1, 2, and 3 are events associated to one of three iCloud calendar type. While the "Introduction" event was entered using a non iCloud calendar type - "Work".

You can see Test 1,2 & 3 calendar events showing on all devices. However the "Introduction" calendar event only shows up on the iCal.

All four calendar events as seen on iCal on my Mac Pro. The event "Introduction" was created in iCal on the Mac Pro. This event was set to My Mac Work Calendar which is not a choice under iCloud calendar options. This is why it only apears on the Mac Pro and not the other portable devices.

iPhone: Only three events showing

Test 1 event was entered in iCloud Home calendar on the iPhone

This screen shows that all three iCloud calendars have been selected to display on the iPhone. This is why you can see all three Test events on all three devices.

iPad: Only three events showing

Therefore, when you make a calendar entry on any device and you want it to show on all three devices make sure you select one of three iCloud calendar types. Otherwise it will only show on the device you enter the event.

Hope this helps...
