Calendars not syncing on iPhone 4S

For some reason my iPhone 4S had issue with syncing tonight - just a shared calendar. On phone Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar/Calendars sync events has always been set to '1 month back' without issue, I've now set to '3 months back' and the issue has been fixed. iCloud set to PUSH.

Switching back to '1 month back' new test items weren't showing up - so must be a corruption in some database or something. Setting back to '3 months back' test items showed up no problems.

Huge thanks for original post.

Thank you! 2 hours later and I finally stumbled upon this post!

Switching to 1 month back or All Events or iCloud set to PUSH did not work for me. I went to iCloud Support site and started stepping my way through the troubleshooting. One of the first steps was to check the System Status. Sure enough, iCloud calendars had some problems on 8/14. I powered off both iPad and iPhone and then turned them back on. It worked!

I am problem with new events i add in my iphone, syncing to my cloud and macbook. I can delete an event from my phone and that will sync, but no new events. My settings are fectch new data >Push, i changed sync to all events. Any ideas?

drewdraws2, you are awesome! I always search the web for my apple related problems, and I quickly came across this post. Thank God for your perfect solution. My calendar is back in action. Thanks for figuring this out!

Thank you!!! Couldn't figure out why my calendar was syncing from just a month back... Well, it was set to 1 MONTH BACK! :-P Thank you, again.

After following the instructions in this thread, playing with every setting imaginable on my computer, icloud and iphone I still couldn't get all of my calendars to sync... finally I figured it out and it was the dumbest reason of all:

After multiple restores over the years and new computers I have ended up with multiple duplicate calendars on my computer, phone, icloud AND gmail calendar account... in the end I simply had to go through all the events manually and change the calendars they are listed under over to calendars under my icloud account on my phone and now everything is syncing perfectly.

I tried this but it hasn't changed anything for me. My problem began after the iOS 6 update and all I could see of my calender history was the last month. I've tried the above fix mentioned, rebooted my iPhone probably 5 times, switched the fetch to push and back again, deleted my google calendar account from Exchange and put it back on. All my events are on google calendar but my iPhone 4s will only show the last month of events. If any of you have found a workaround, please help. (ps I am not familar with iCloud and don't use it at all) Thx

My phone was already on 'all events' and it is still not syncing. Other ideas?

It syncs after restarting my phone, but I can't trust it to keep updated with my iPad and computer.

Could not get my 4s and iPad calendars to sync. Backed up to the Cloud, already set to "all events", double-checked every setting possible in General, Privacy, Mail/Contacts/Calendars... no luck. Googled it and read several posts that didn't hit head on. Then, I solved it myself!! I TURNED OFF CALENDARS on both devices, choosing to maintain the data on that device (don't delete it!) then... wait for it... turned them both back on... AND THEY WERE SYNCED!! O, Happy Day! Stupidly simple is sometimes the best.

I have spent my evening trawling through support pages! Exporting calendars, deleting them, importing them, taking them off syncing, putting them on syncing...

I didn't have that setting ticked before installing iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my phone has always synced all events. I can't believe it was such a simple solution. I automatically thought the problem lay with my mac not my iPhone! I wish Apple wouldn't change settings and just leave them as they were before the update!

Thanks again, much appreciated! You've saved me another evening of trying to look for an answer!

THANKS!!!

I have tried everything listed in this and many other posts:

- iPhone calendar is on iCloud

- iCloud calendars enabled

- Sharing All Events

- Push selected

- Turned on/off again

- Cretaed new calandar to go from scratch

Nothing works!

However, events created on my MacBook do appear on iPhone but nothing goes the other direction!!!

When is Apple going to sort this cr*p out?!

I discovered turning on 'Push' New Data in Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings fixed it. For some reason I had it turned off so it wasn't pushing any data off my iPhone into iCloud.

Hope that helps someone.

Marylouski, you solved this for me!!

I tried everything else mentioned on this post, and no go.

But I went to my phone, told it to take my calendar off icloud, powered the phone off, went back to my macbook pro itunes, told it to synch calendars (which for some reason was off freakishly), turned my connected phone back on, and voila! There are all my calendar items on my iphone 4s again!

This has been broken for about 2 months now, and my very complicated life was getting unbearable without a synched calendar... THANK YOU MARYLOUSKI !!!

I'm testing it right now, by adding an event on my phone, and synching, and adding an event on my laptop, and synching... will they work???????? ......... YES!!! BOTH WAYS WORKED! BLESS YOU!

Now for the contacts, which also haven't synched (sunk? 🙂) for months... Doing the same thing... taking contacts off icloud, turned off phone, see what happens...... Well, this part isn't going so well... but I think that's a separate question, as it used to synch my google contacts with my phone, and now that seems kaput... I'll google a separate question for that one.

Thanks again, Marylouski!!
