iPad calendar displays exclamation point, “unable to update”.

Question

iPad calendar displays exclamation point, “unable to update”.

See this screenshot:

Note the exclamation point next to Calendars and the “Unable to update calendars.” note under the exchange calendar. This is the calendar to which I have added all of my work events for quite some time. The calendar works fine on the iPad, but will not sync with the associated google account at all. Is there a way to troubleshoot WHY it is unable to update? I’d really like to sync the calendar and all events from my iPad to oogle calendars so that I can access it from other devices. I‘d appreciate some help.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2.6

Same problem here. I was wondering if maybe since so many have complained, it might be fixed in the newest upgrade, so I went to “settings” on my phone to allow the update and found an alert about re-entering my iCloud password. Once I did that, the problem went away.

My iphone 6s is logged into my icloud, and contacts, etc. are being backed up. However, the calendar is NOT being backed up and I get the error message noted above "unable to update calendars." I have turned the phone on and off, and done a hard reboot of the phone. Not sure why the update is suddenly not working.
