iMac Calendar not sync with iCloud

It seems it's a computer problem because tow others users on the same computer have the same problem. Calendar works perfectly on my iPad and iPhone, even calendar on webservice (iCloud) works great.

iCloud is set perfectly on System Preferences, even is correct on 'Mail, Contacts and Calendar'.

In Calendar, on the left column (On My Mac - iCloud and Suscriptions) I see the word 'iCloud', but different caledars (Work, Travel, Reminders, etc) are not shown on my iMac

I need some help, thanks!

Please click iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud. You also have to set the calendar type in the Calendar app. BTW, you did not complete a profile so we don't even know if your compuer and it's version of OS X has the ability to use iCloud.

You haven't created any calendars in iCloud. In Calendar click File - New Calendar - Choose iCloud and create the calendar. You may benefit by watching an Calendar tutorial. You can find many tutorials on Apple's website at:

I'm having the same problem. Everything was syncing fine until this weekend. I know iOS upgraded but something else must have changed on my iMac or iCloud. Hopefully someone from Apple is viewing this post.

Actually, Calendar on my iMac is not syncing with iCloud for a couple of weeks, but I've no problem with my iPhone and iPad which are in sync with iCloud perfectly, so I guess is something in my computer.

As you've mentioned, hopefully someone from Apple will see this post and act in consecuence.

Thanks for share

I guess is something on my computer, because I've opened a new user on it and still have the same problem, everything syncronizing perfectly, (Contacts, Mail, etc) but not Calendar.

Then I took my wife's MacBook Pro and opened a new user (as myself) and EVERYTHING sync perfectly, even Calendar.

I'm not an specialist, but I think that some file on System/Library/SyncService/Schemas/Calendar.syncschema/contents must be corrupted.

There's any way to reinstall Calendar? I've tryed using the CD that came on the box, but is only for Lion, actually I'm running Mountain Lyon.

Any idea or suggestion will be highly appreciated

Boot into the Recovery Partition and run disc utility- Repair Disk Permissions . Do this 2x then restart normally and test. If that doesn't work then reinstall ML from the the Recovery Partition.

Xarvik,

I know exactly the last time my imac synced with icloud. it was on 2/20. I made updates on my imac to a couple of my reminders which synced. the following friday, i made changes which did not sync. so somewhere in between my imac stopped syncing with icloud and haven't since. like you, my ipad and iphone are syncing fine, just not my imac. this is about the third time this has happend in the past year or so. the last two times, imac started syncing after a few days. i think this is the longest it's gone. so far. i expect it will happen again, that is if apple even fixes it this time.

rkaufmann87 Thanks for your indication. I did what you said first: 'Boot into the Recovery Partition and run disc utility- Repair Disk Permissions . Do this 2x then restart normally and test.' but didn't work, finally I did your second suggestion: 'If that doesn't work then reinstall ML from the the Recovery Partition' and now Calendar is perfectly in sync with iCloud.

Thanks much!

Another problem has now surfaced. The right click and side buttons on my mouse are not functioning now. I checked the setting to make sure the right click is set as secondary and the center button to mission control. When I click right, it acts as primary and pressing the center button doesn't do anything. Any thoughts?
