Q: iCould Calendar not Syncing to Devices

I just got a new Surface for Christmas and downloaded the iCloud for Windows program so that I could sync my Contacts and Calendars through Outlook to the various devices (this is actually the only Windows device I own).

 

The issue I am running into is if I create a Calendar event in Outlook, it will sync to and be visible on iCloud.com.  However, this event will not sync to the other iCloud devices (iPhone, Macbook, iMac).  The only way I can get it to work is to actually move it to another Calendar on iCloud.com and then move it back.  Suddenly then it will appear on the other devices.  I have done all the steps of turning Calendar off, logging out of iCloud on devices, and multiple restarts and it never syncs without the above workaround.

 

I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue and was able to make it work?

    Howdy JeffMS331,

     

     

     

    I understand your Outlook calendar events are syncing to iCloud.com but aren't making it to your Apple devices.

     

     

     

    It sounds like you have done most of the troubleshooting listed in this article  (good job),

    I do see a section that looks like it applies though:

     

    Make sure that iCloud isn’t your default account in Data Files

    When iCloud is set as your default account in Data Files, your data won't sync between your devices.

    Outlook 2010 and later:

    1. Select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files.
    2. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account.
    3. Click Set as Default.

    Outlook 2007:

    1. Select File > Data File Management > Data Files.
    2. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account.
    3. Click Set as Default.

     

    Of course please review the rest of the article if needed.

     

     

     

    Take care.
