Hey foxbyteme,
I'm not aware of any way to do that. I imagine there must be a 3rd-party solution using different calendar apps and another cloud service like Dropbox or the Google ecosystem.
iCloud works pretty well, though.
Turn off iCloud syncing for Calendars in the iPhone's iCloud Settings. Then connect the iPhone to your computer and set the Calendar sync settings in iTunes/iPhone/Info. Unlike automatic iCloud syncing you will need to sync your calendars by connecting to the computer then syncing through iTunes, it will be automatic once setup.
This isn't old school 😉.
It is already complex to manage a safe synchronization between 2 stores of information: an iPhone and a Mac.
It is more complex to manage it within 3 stores of information: an iPhone, a Mac and an iCloud.
This is the reason why so many people get confused and lose their information or create duplicates unwillingly when they use iCloud.
Thanks. I was afraid that would be the case.
Hi. I tried something like that (before your response) and ended up with double entries in my calendar on the Mac. Will have to try it again, because I don’t want to keep my calendar on iCloud.
I know I’m old school about this, but I have an aversion to keeping my calendar and address book in the cloud.
