Q: Why aren't my Calendars on my MacBook Pro syncing since update to Yosemite?

Why aren't new events in Calendars on my MacBook Pro showing up in my iCloud Calendars?  New events created on my iPad do show up in my iCloud Calendars, although they do not get "down" to my laptop. All was well with Calendars until I installed Yosemite.  My Notes and Contacts continue to sync between my laptop and iPad, but not Calendars.  Everything in preferences seems OK.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), iOS devices—iPad2 and iPod4

    1. Calendars in the On My Mac or On My iPhone/iPad/iPod 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:

    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar

    iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting

    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.

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

    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.

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

              Go ▹ Go to Folder...

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

    I have no "Calendars in the On My Mac or On My iPhone/iPad/iPod category, and calendars that sync with other network services such as Google"


    I did go ahead and try your suggestions but have had no success.  I'm sure it is some little thing I am overlooking, something between Calendars on my laptop and  iCloud that is not set or improperly set.  I just might take my laptop in to the Apple Store in Santa Monica and have them take a look.


    Thanks for your suggestions.

    What happened when you took all the steps in the two support articles linked to my earlier comment?
