Imported .ics file not syncing to iCloud

Good morning,


I have tried to ssearch the forums for this question but to no avail.


I have imported a .ics file to my iCloud calendar on my iPad. The calendar has multiple events per day. However after importing, the events show up on my iPad but no other device that I have signed in to my iCloud account. If I go into an individual event and edit any property of it then click 'done', the event will then immediately show up on all my iCloud devices.


As you can imagine that's quite time consuming. Am I right in thinking imported events should upload straight to iCloud without me needing to edit a property of it to 'refresh' it?


I have tried all the troubleshooting steps in this article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar


Thanks for any help.


KInd regards,

Tom

I've not tried that - no other .ics files to play with - but I would imagine I'd have to follow the same procedure each time. if I had several .ics files to add, I guess I could add them all to one device, then go through the process to get them all synced at once.


This is just a workaround, not a cure. There's definitely an issue here that Apple needs to address.

Still no fix apparently, I went in to an apple store but they didn't have a clue about the issue or how to manage calendar functions generally. When you combine this ics issue with the whole problem of sending invitations to email addresses used as apple ID without iCloud turned on it makes it hard to use the apple suite for business.


Thinking of moving across to Fantastical 2....

@Csound1:

So what? Have you read the described problem in this thread?

I deal with a problem of opening an ICS file with an event on the iPhone which gets imported and shown up in the iPhone's local calendar but not synchronized to iCloud. Which makes it almost useless to me, because all my other devices like iMac and iPad do not show the event.

I recently ran into a problem the other day where a client of mine was having trouble with subscribing to a calendar that output an .ics file. They were able to subscribe to it via Outlook or the iCal application on a Mac, but were unable to subscribe with their Apple iPad 2 device

OK, So not being able to put a calendar on icloud from your iPad is not your problem ?


Good luck.
