Syncing subscribed calendars from iPhone to iPad and Mac via iCloud

Hi everyone,

So, I have this app on my iPhone that offers the option to subscribe to several calendars (with the standard Calendar app). But unfortunately I only have those subscribed calenders on my iPhone now, not on my Mac or iPad. Don't they sync via iCloud? I could just get the app for my iPad and subscribe to the calenders there as well, but then I still won't have them on my Mac, which I really need.

Any ideas are much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

You would need to contact the app developer to find out what's wrong. Normally when you add a subscribed calendar without an app it will push to your other devices. This article explains how to do this on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5029.

Well, this certainly wasn't the most elegant way, but at least I got the calendars on all my devices now.

I subscribed to them all on my iPhone, went to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Subscribed Calendars and copied each of the servers into a note. I then deleted all the subscriptions.

Back on my Mac I added the calendars manually (alt+cmd+S), which caused a bit of a problem at first, but I figured out it was because the server addresses didn't contain "https://". That way I was able to configure colours, and updates easier and they are now on all my devices.
