Q: Sync iCal and reminders between iPad and iphone

Hi.

When I change an entry on iCal or Reminders on my iPad mini or iPhone, it doesn't sync with the other device for ages/if ever. They're both connected to my home wifi. Can anyone help? Thanks

iPhone 4S

    Greetings debsbarker,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that when you update or make a change to a calendar or reminder, that updated information is not syncing across your other devices. If you are using your iCloud account for Calendars and Reminders the attached articles below will help you troubleshoot the syncing issue between devices.

    Hi. Thanks so much for your reply. I've worked my way through both of those links but it doesn't seem to be sorting it out. My iPad and iPhone were syncing fine for a few hours yesterday evening, but today aren't communicating again. Could it be a problem with iCloud itself rather than with my devices??? (I tried changing something in Contacts as well and that didn't sync either) Thanks

    Greetings debsbarker,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    Thanks for the information and for completing the steps outlined in the articles even though your issue still continues. 

     

    I do not feel like this is an issue with iCloud service, but rather a communication problem between your devices. You can always check the status of all Apple Services, Stores, and iCloud to verify if the issue is with iCloud or your devices by checking the System Status using the following link. 

     

    Apple - Support - System Status

     

    To further troubleshoot your situation, because the information in the articles was unsuccessful in helping you resolve the sync issues, you may want to consider contacting Apple Support directly. If you would like to contact Apple Support, please use the attached link below.

    I Finally solved it!!! Had this problem since i updated my iPad to iOS 7.

     

    Here's how:

    On the device that doesn't sync your reminders app,

    go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data > Make sure Push is on!

    and below it, select iCloud > Select schedule to Push

     

    This worked for me, on iPad 2, iOS 9.
