    1. Calendars in the On My Mac category, and calendars that sync with other network services such as Google, will not sync with iCloud.
      
    2. Back up all data, then take all the applicable steps in these support articles:
      
      
    Nearly all sync issues should be resolved that way. Please make sure you've taken all the steps and tested adequately before continuing.
      
    3. If there are any calendars on your Mac that you don't synchronize with iCloud, export them by selecting them in the calendar list and then selecting
      
    File ▹ Export ▹ Export
      
    from the menu bar. Quit Calendar.
       
    4. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Calendars

    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
       
    Services ▹ Reveal
       
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move that folder to the Desktop.

    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select

    Go Go to Folder...

    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.


    5. Launch Calendar. Your calendars will initially be gone, but they should resynchronize with iCloud. If they don't, uncheck the box marked Calendars & Reminders in the iCloud preference pane, then re-check it.

    6. Import the calendars you exported in step 3, if any, by double-clicking the files.

    7. If the issue is resolved, close the Finder window you opened in Step 4. Delete the exported files and the Calendars folder on the Desktop.

    Same thing was happening here. I found the answer, at least in my case. Here are the steps I took:

     

     

    • On your computer, go to  "Preferences". Open "ICloud".
    • Check to see if  "Back to My Mac" is checked. If it is not check it.
    You may have to go back to preferences and go to "Energy Saver." If so:

    • In "Energy Saver" go to "Power Adaptor".
    • Check to see if "Wake for Wi-Fi network access" is checked
    • If it is not Check it.

     

    That process solved the problem for me.
