Cannot synchronize calendars with iCloud

I used to use iTunes to synchronize calendars. I get a new Mac and I now need to synchronize iCloud.  I don't want iCloud - but I put in place because I NEED to synchronize.  So now - Mac is complete, partial, iPad iPhone NOTHING.  Go crazy looking for answers!

Just things to synchronize.  I really do need calendars and today finds that medical important notes (in iCal)... nothing.  I have nothing and is not the wonderful experience promised by Apple.  This isn't (or shouldn't be) something cutting-edge.

The first step to get things as expected is to understand the difference between the use of the mail, contacts and calendars to be 'synced' vs. how things work with modern cloud (iCloud, Google Gmail, Microsoft 365) services.  In the old days, you would be 'sync' line of devices one phone to a local computer where you have stored your contacts and calendars.  It is more the way things work.  With services like iCloud, all your computers, phones, tablets, etc., rather communicate directly with the server to iCloud instead of synchronization between them via iTunes.  When implemented correctly, using iCloud is much more reliable 'synchronization' ever was.

To set things upwards so that each of you, the devices use iCloud (and therefore always show current mail, calendars and contacts), you simply login to iCloud on each device using the same iCloud account and ensure that services you plan to use are activated.  On the Mac go to "System Preferences" > "iCloud" to connect and activate the services.  On your iOS devices, go to the "Settings" > "iCloud" to do the same.  Make sure that all these Screes are with the same login to iCloud and have services enabled (including schedules).

Then, to test.  Adding an event to a device should appear immediately on others (without iTunes required).  If the test works, then open iTunes to your iPhone / iPad are each attached and disable iTunes sync for calendars, contacts for these devices (is no longer necessary or desirable).

Finally, if your old calendars are still available on your Mac, then you should be able to copy the old events of the old (probably stored locally on your Mac) calendar to the calendar iCloud newly available.  Once you do, you should immediately see on other devices.

I hope this helps.

  • Cannot synchronize calendar Outlook with Iphone6s after the last update IOS9.2

    I was able to sync my desktop to my iphone calendar before the last update 9.20.  I tried to sync the calendar several times but it doesn't work!

    Help, please?

    I have a similar problem, the timing of my 6s running iOS 9.2 (13 c 75) with my laptop 10 Windows running Outlook 2010 standalone (no exchange server) and sync via iTunes.  Individual appointments synchronize properly, but recurring appointments will not be synchronized in both directions - I can enter on Outlook or on the 6s calendar, and it never syncs to the other device.  This is a serious issue!

  • Why Pages don't synchronize iPhone with iCloud?

    A document Pages that I have edited in iCloud earlier has yet to update on my iPhone 6 (current running iOS 9.2.1).  Normally, a document updates with an hour or two, when I open it in another environment.  I am logged on iCloud on both sides and connected to the internet.  I closed all background on the iPhone applications and restarted, nothing helps.  Does anyone know how to get the Pages to synchronize?

  • Why not sync calendar with iCloud?

    I have an iPhone 5 s, iPad 2 Mini and MacBook Air (mid 2011). I use the application calendar and reminders to stock up on all three of these devices and all my software is up to date. When I create or edit an event or task in the calendar or recalls on my iPhone, the change is reflected in the iPad and vice versa. However, I don't see the changes reflected in the calendar or reminders for MacBook. Similarly, when I create events on my MacBook, I don't see them on my iPhone or iPad. My account iMessage, contacts and notes are still fully functional and updated between all three devices. Calendar and reminders seem to be the only problem. I have the calendars and boxes checked in my preferences to iCloud reminders.

    Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.

  • Replace .mac account shared with iCloud separate accounts.

    Hello

    I'm looking for advice on how best to clean up the mess created by our continued use of our ancient .mac account.

    My wife and I have had an account .mac since 2005.  Our e-mail addresses are aliases that are associated with this account.  It's messy.

    My wife and I would like to have separate accounts .icloud but, if possible, do not want to give up e-mail addresses that we had for 11 years.  Is this possible?  We also want to make the transition without complicating our existing .mac account settings. For example, our children now have their own accounts of .icloud that are related to the original address of .mac as part of a family sharing.

    Thank you!

    Using more an iDevice on the same computer

    This mainly applies to couples who add another device and don't want their electronic mail, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To start reading: How to use several iPhone, iPad or iPod devices with one computer. You must create a login separate Apple and password for anyone who will use the new iDevice. See Apple - my Apple ID and frequently asked questions about the Apple ID. The easiest way is to do it on the computer using iTunes: iTunes - how to set up an Apple ID iTunes.

    On the computer, create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This is the user account always uses this person. He or she will no longer use the other user account. This way the person will have a separate iTunes library. Note When finished, do not 'share' apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must buy your own applications under your own Apple ID. When you decide to divide like this you will have to buy new applications they want to use.

    First, transfer the new devices to a new account as well as all your data.  Save pictures of flow picture you want to keep for your camera (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap Albums icon at the bottom. Now press the album My Photo Stream; Press Select; tap the photo you want to select. tap the share (box with the face up arrow) in the lower left corner icon; in the film, and then click Save.

    If you synchronize notes with iCloud, you want to keep, you must open each of your notes and email it to yourself. Later, you can copy and paste the text into the new notes created in your new account.

    Tap Settings > iCloud > remove account (removes it only from this device, not iCloud; the person who maintains the current account is not affected) provide the password to disable find my phone and choose to keep on my iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with another Apple ID to create your new account. Choose merge to download your data.

    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and remove data from the other person to your account.

  • Outlook cannot synchronize with icloud for today

    Today, Outlook 2011 fails to synchronize with iCloud IMAP. Until yesterday it worked very well with "p01 - imap.mail.me.com" as a server but, since this morning, I have nothing. Perhaps it is due to new security double, but Outlook has nothing to deal with and there is no way, I think, to disable.

    I tried to change it to "imap.mail.me.com", I also tried to change the name of the user with or without "@me.com", I tried without SSL...

    Mail connects and syncs seamlessly with iCloud, but Outlook cannot

    OK, now I have the answer: it is because of the new two-step verification.

    I searched how to disable this check in two steps, because it is very annoying. Whenever I am connected to something that I had to wait for six figures sent to another device. So I found that it is possible to disable this check in two steps on the web site of iCloud in the account settings.

    I disabled the two-step verification, and a few seconds later, Outlook has been able to sync again with iCloud IMAP.

    The same problem.  I use iCloud for Windows 5.2 and Windows 10, 2016 office.   Everything worked well for several months until a few months ago, when sync calendar has stopped working.   I've updated iCloud of 5.1 to 5.2 but that just killed altogether.  Tried uninstalling icloud and relocation costs.  No luck.  When the iCloud settings appears, I check the box for the calendar and Contacts.  The driver then disappears.   I check again and it sticks.  But no messages on 'configure '.   When I close and reopen, the box is unchecked.   A few days ago I had the same problems the other another thread where he would show "set up" spinning forever (well, 30 minutes before giving up).   Not sure if it's an Apple problem or a problem of office.  But this is of course a problem.

  • Computer I have Sync'd with is death - can I now back up / synchronize with iCloud and still have everything?

    Pretty much like what it says. Previously synced 100% with laptop computer (iTunes, photos, videos, etc.) which now shows the blue screen of death permanently.

    If I now go back to iCloud synchronization / backup on my phone, will I have all since it's all on my phone to start?

    Portable ITunes was there music I ripped and realize that is probably a separate issue. I have off-site backup which I can access once I get a new laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can activate the backup to iCloud and it backs up your phone as it is currently. See following information from backups for iOS - Apple Support devices for details of what is included:

    With a wireless network connection, you can make a backup of your device using iCloud. You don't need to connect your device to a computer or even be home to save with iCloud.

    iCloud backups include virtually all the data and parameters stored on your device. iCloud backups do not include:

    • Data already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, calendars, Notes, My Photo Stream and iCloud photo library
    • Data stored in other cloud services, such as Gmail and Exchange email
    • Settings and information Apple pay
    • Tap Settings ID
    • iCloud library and App Store content (if it is still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can type to re - download your content already purchased.)

  • Photos on macOS Sierra: Album of peoples does not synchronize with iCloud photo library

    Using Photos has just been updated for Sierra, and we finally have it in writing:

    https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.2/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c

    Note: Persons identified in the album people are not synchronized between devices.

    And as far as I know, it really does not synchronize between my libraries of Photos on the MacBook Pro and my iMac.

    It's different in the 10 user guide iOS for the iPhone and iPad:

    http://help.Apple.com/iPhone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c

    People are synchronized between devices where you are connected with the same Apple ID.

    I wonder how this is supposed to work, if a Mac and iPhone are synchronized with iCloud User Library.

    None of the faces that I named on my iPhone did sync it with my Mac.

    Another indication that the lack of synchronization of the people and names is deliberate:
