Calendar: Not syncing repeating event updates in 10.10.1

This is an issue that I noticed and reported during the beta that seems to have continued into the full version.

I have about 30 calendars, one for each bill (and misc). Each bill is set to repeat monthly.

In the past, I'd just paste in the confimation into this month's event, tell it to only update that particular one, then it would replicate to all my devices.

Since Yosemite, this does not happen. I've lost a lot of information before I caught it.

This is happening on a Mac mini (home Mac) and a Mac I use at work and JUST set up with a fresh install of Yosemite.

I have un-synced calendars to my Macs, re-synced, but any updates to repeating events never hit iCloud.com - if I make a non-repeating one-off event, it goes through.

I have made entirely new calendars in case it was the calendar itself, but a brand new one I just made (that repeats on the 1st of every month) wouldn't replicate to iCloud. It will show the data in the event until I close Calendar and re-launch it. Then it's gone, like it never was there.

I've also noticed that on my iPhone 6+ (8.1.1), even though everything is set to Push, I have to manually pull down on Calendars (in the Calendars option) to have it refresh and pull down new calendars and changes. Same thing on the iPhone in regard to repeating events, too. I have great cellular and Wi-Fi connections, so that is not the issue.

I feel I'm back in MobileMe days when I constantly had this issue and thought iCloud was a god-send. Now, I'm wondering what to do.


Thanks in advance.

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.2), i7, 8GB, 750GB

I had posted this problem in another forum. A user suggested turning off iCloud on all my devices, and leaving it off.


After doing that my calendars from my Maverick iMac and Macbook now sync with my iPad and iPhone.

So... Turn it off for an extended time (how long?) and then after turning it back on they should all sync?


Last weekend, I wiped my iPhone completely and started completely fresh with NO old information.


Calendars do not sync without intervention.


This is seriously ridiculous.

So, now Reminders aren't syncing. They are on the cloud, but even turning them off (deleting them) and turning them back on does nothing on my iPhone (which, by the way, I completely started "Fresh" a couple weeks back to see if that would fix the syncing issues, to no avail). Like... actually nothing. No Reminders have downloaded, but iCloud.com shows 8. I am become Dissilusionment.


So far, the only thing that syncs reliably is Notes.

I have been having the EXACT same issue with my bills calendar. I even wrote about it here:

I also submitted a Bug report to Apple around the same time (signed up for a developer account to do this). But then my bug report was closed a few weeks later because apparently there was already a bug report about the same issue.


I'm still waiting for a fix....


(for now, I have stopped using the Mac calendar app and only use iCloud calendar through a web browser. That has worked perfectly for me in all test cases)
