iCloud Calendar locked/not available/not synching w/iPhone 6s

This was going on BEFORE elCapitan. Speaking of that, why did I upgrade to that just to get a bigger cursor, if I shake it? I cannot believe I left the PC world to be confronted with this crap.

I think if you were experiencing this issue prior to El Capitan's release, I would suggest contacting support and/or making an appointment to see a Genius specialist.

This problem started for me yesterday or the day before. I am on Yosemite on my laptop and still on iOS 8.4.1. So, while the cause of the problem may be an upgrade, it is affecting older OSs, too.

The error message has change for me, though. Now it says "Your calendar couldn't be refreshed. The connection with server p01-caldav.icloud.com has been closed. Try again later."

Same for me, and throughout the day it's been hit or miss but thankfully for the past couple hours, it's been doing okay.

I'm having the same issue as well, except with an iPhone 5S and a late 2014 Macbook Pro. I had the issue last night with Yosemite, and after updating both my Macbook and my iPhone this morning I'm still having the issue.

Mine is with a late MBP as well.....

I am getting the same message about iCloud. I'm glad to hear it's not just me. I've spent hours trying to figure out what was going wrong with Calendar. I have categories in Outlook's Calendar and it syncs to iCal by setting up separate calendars for each of the categories both on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, which is fine with me. But, a few days ago all the separate calendars disappeared and nothing I do brings them back. At least I have the calendar information in Outlook 2011. But, I want to use iCal instead of Outlook.

I'm in the same boat - I'd like to use iCal but with this unfortunate event of iCloud not syncing since the release of El Capitan, I've sadly returned to using Google Calendar for my needs.

Just FYI, it's not since El Capitan. This was happening before it was released and iCloud was down for a lot of us for about 4-5 hours that day. I went to the Genius Bar and they figured it was the iCloud being down issue and was told to wait it out. I did nothing and it's back a bit yesterday, and all back today.

It was an observation that it happened when I updated. I didn't have an issue with Yosemite.

I get ya, just want to clear that up. It was quite frustrating before 10.10 was released, believe me.

Yeah, for me, it's been since the El Capitan update. Everything was working prior.

...my iCal and Reminder/iCloud issues mysteriously cleared themselves overnight with no intervention...

Worried I may have jinxed myself by posting this but so far, so good.

I certainly envy you. I've been 100% locked out all the time; sometimes it's locked out of iCloud all together; sometimes it's locked out of Celandar and Reminders. Frustrating!!!

Then I'm guessing it might be time to call Apple Support and get them actively involved in your specific issue. Like agnew_kata, mine has been working since overnight as well.

My calendar is not giving me any error messages today, but I have not tested it to be sure it is synching properly.

I've tested the Reminders app and that synced perfectly with iCloud. Haven't tested iCal yet but I think whatever it was that we were experiencing has been resolved by now.
