My Calendar entries don't sync with my iCloud account.

I used to be able to enter information on my iPhone and it would be on MobileMe almost immediately.

But it fails to work in iCloud. I show no information on my Calander at iCloud.com. How do I troubleshoot this.

No browsers will display my info. Please Help

I'm afraid Snow Leopard is not compatible with iCloud - the minumum requirement is Lion 10.7.2. This is the situation with Snow Leopard and existing iCloud accounts:

You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
Address Book won't sync: this page has a convoluted hack to make it sync which has been reported as working (and as not working by others). I've not tried it.

Although it's not a cheap solution, Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99. (I have no connection with this firm.)
