ICloud :: Events Entered In ICal On Mac Don't Appear On IPhone
Apr 16, 2012
I've recently updated my MacBook Air to the Lion OS (10.7.3). I've been frustrated over the fact that calendar events entered into iCal through my MacBook Air don't appear on my iPhone 4 (running iOS 5.1). However, when I create a calendar event on my iPhone, it does appear in iCal on my MacBook Air.Â
I've got iCloud running on both devices and have Calendars turned on. Both have the same iCloud account set up in the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" setting.Â
Info:
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3), iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1
I was looking for an old appointment in iCal and have realised that since I started using iCloud, all my previous events are missing from my Mac.  I have tried opening Time Machine but it doesn't seem to want to open iCal.If I untick all the iCloud calendars in iCal leaving only "On My Mac" ticked I end up with no events at all.
All of a sudden iCal from my Macbook Pro has stopped syncing up to iCloud, though events added on my iPhone and iPad are showing up fine on iCal. After poking around a bit I found the following (clicking on the little "alert" icon in the Calendars dropdown popped up the error).
The syncing stopped a few days ago and I don't remember making any major changes to my setup that might have triggered this. Restarting iCal and rebooting the computer didn't help.
iCal events from not showing on iCloud calendar on my MBP, Lion 10.7.4. They also don't show up on my PC on iCloud calendar. However they DO show up on mg iPod Touch Calendar. I have looked at all the settings both in iCal and iCloud, read all of support files and websites for both, but I am missing something.
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 13-inch, Mid 2010
With iCloud, there are double entries when looking at All Contacts, and so things Contact details like event have double entries on iCal too. Since all Contacts are made on iCloud now, Should all Contacts be deleted from My Mac?
All of a sudden, my iCal will not sync with iCloud. My iPhone still syncs, and events put into iCal on my phone push to my Mac, but not vice versa. iCal on my Mac SAYS it's "Updating", I'm not getting any error messages, but any new events put into iCal on my Mac do not update via iCloud. What happened?

The events I entered into my Calendar on my Macbook, have not shown up on my iPhone. Both devices are synced with iCloud and both have Calendar box checked. What's wrong?
Trying to get them to talk to each other - I've input the Google account into iCal preferences, and it shows up fine. But I seem only able to sync one way - if I add an appointment in Google Calendar - then sync - it shows up fine in iCal. But if I add an event in iCal and then sync - it doesn't show up on the Google Calandar.
My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s. I had mobileme and upgraded to iCloud. I also have Mac Lion and feel like I have all the upgrades required, but any time I enter a new event in my iCal, it never transfers to my iPhone. Note: when I enter an event in my phone, it DOES transfer properly to my iCal on my Mac.
When I open my iCal on my Mac at work, and also on iCloud via the intertnet, I realized it's not synced up to my phone and items are missing. WiFi is on on the iPhone. I can see what I input on desktop/icloud in the phone, but not what's input on the phone in desktop/icloud online. It should all sync up automatically right? Also, how do you put music onto iCloud?
I try not to have iCal running because I've got the Dateline app that stays on my desktop. Mousing over that will give me appts and such as I need to have them.
I've found, that opening iCal and messing with the input screen for a new event is kind of cumbersome, and I'm wondering if folks have found a good way to create new iCal events w minimal interaction with iCal itself.
Today 2.5 offers this as a feature, but it's $25. Macworld also had a tip, but running that Automator action opens up iCal in the background.
I recently got a MacBook Pro after having an iPhone and iPad since last year. I have iCloud set up on all devices to share calendar dates. However, when I input an event on iCal on the MacBook everything is fine and the event shows up on my iPhone and iPad calendars, but when I input an appointment on my iPhone, it will not update to the iCal on MacBook.Â
Contacts entered in iCloud will not sync to Macbook pro.Contacts entered in iPhone do sync to iCloud and vice versa.Items entered in iPhone contacts do not sync with Macbook Pro nor do contacts entered in Macbook Pro sync to iPhone.Â
I have a problem where I can't get rid of unnecessary events. The problem is with events which are repeated every period of time. When, I don't need them anymore, they refuse to disappear. I click delete, and get even the reminder: Deleting all future events. And when I confirm, and click OK, nothing happened. What should I do to erased these events definitely.
I am subscribed to a calendar on iCal, so iCal will not let me modify any of the events that I am subscribed to (states that it is "read-only"). Is there a way that I can change the settings so that I may able to modify it? Is there something I need to download in order to make this work?
I know this may sound a bit stupid, but i noticed whenever i see a picture of iCal or something, some dates and what not are colored ( see below ) yet my iCal is all white, i dont see options anywhere to set a certain color for a invent or anything?
I can change the text ( under get info ) but i cant have that whole date a certain color?
I just upgraded to icloud yesterday. All my contacts synced okay, but when I enter a new contact in address book on my computer it doesn't show up in icloud online or on my iphone. When I enter them in my iphone address book, they do show up in icloud and on my mac. Â
Went to go look up an event and it's not there anymore or any past events! I had at least 4 years of appointments that I can't look up anymore. I use MobileMe, so it erased it there too, no I don't have a backup. I did upgrade to the MobileMe iCal. Anyone else having this problem? I've got a hold of MobileMe chat support and there looking into it, suppose to get back to me when they find a solution.
My ical has broken. The dock icon is as the picture until you click it, then it loads the correct image. Also it does not load any of the events until I click the to do items button in the left hand corner.
I googled but nothing struck me, so i thought id ask the clever people here. Is there a Site, Program that will automatically add big events into Ical, so I know there coming up? For example these events 01 Jan 2010 New Year's DayBank Holiday 25 Jan 2010 Robert Burns Night (Burns Night)Notable Date 27 Jan 2010 Holocaust Memorial DayNotable Date 14 Feb 2010 Valentines DayNotable Date 16 Feb 2010 Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day)Notable Date 17 Feb 2010 Ash WednesdayReligious Date 01 Mar 2010 St David's DayNotable Date 14 Mar 2010 Mothering Sunday (Mothers Day)Notable Date 17 Mar 2010 St Patricks DayReligious Date 28 Mar 2010 British Summertime (BST) BeginsNotable Date 01 Apr 2010 Maundy ThursdayReligious Date 01 Apr 2010 April Fool's DayNotable Date 02 Apr 2010 Good FridayBank Holiday 04 Apr 2010 Palm SundayReligious Date 04 Apr 2010 Easter SundayReligious Date 05 Apr 2010 Easter MondayBank Holiday 21 Apr 2010 Queen Elizabeth's BirthdayNotable Date 23 Apr 2010 St George's DayReligious Date 03 May 2010 May Day (Early May Bank Holiday)Bank Holiday 31 May 2010 Spring Bank HolidayBank Holiday 14 Jun 2010 Trooping the ColourNotable Date 20 Jun 2010 Father's DayNotable Date 14 Jul 2010 Emmeline Pankhurst DayNotable Date 15 Jul 2010 St.Swithun's Day (aka St. Swithin's)Religious Date 30 Aug 2010 Summer Bank HolidayBank Holiday 31 Oct 2010 British Summertime (BST) EndsNotable Date 31 Oct 2010 HalloweenNotable Date 01 Nov 2010 All Saints DayReligious Date 05 Nov 2010 Guy Fawkes NightNotable Date 14 Nov 2010 Remembrance Day (Remembrance Sunday)Notable Date 30 Nov 2010 St Andrew's DayReligious Date 27 Dec 2010 Boxing DayBank Holiday 28 Dec 2010 ChristmasBank Holiday
I'm trying to set up some automated reporting from my computer to my email when I'm out of the office. I've got the applescript set up to run when I send an email, but I'm trying to make it automated every hour or 30 minutes or something. Someone recommended iCal- I've got it able to run the script on each event, but I can't figure out how to make an event recur hourly.
What's the deal? I have the preferences set to delete events 2 days after they pass, yet it's not doing it. Even if I click the "hide" options, it won't even hide them.
I've just switched to mac and have a beginner's question: Although I selected a strong red color for my work calendar, the events are only shown in a transparent red. This actually applies to all calendars. Is there a possibility to see the full colors i.o non-transparent?
We (the wife and I) both use our iphones to enter events on our calendar. We've set it up so that it should sync with mobile me (thus updating our mac and iphones). The problem is that things are getting deleted A lot! When I open ical on my mac, there are at least 20 "calendars" in the far left column (I didn't know we were creating a "new" calendar every time we used a new color for an event). Anytime we plug our iphones in the ical comes up saying that there are duplicates that need to be resolved. I hit ok. I thought I was doing the right thing.
On Leopard on more than one Mac I've noticed iCal cutting off the ends of some of the names of events when in month view. Happens whether or not I've got it set to also show the start time in month view. It may have been happening in Tiger too but I can't recall. Resizing my iCal window can get the full ext to appear in full on some days, but it just makes it disappear for other events.
I have a client's machine that keeps repopulating events to iCal even after they've been deleted. These are calendars that are stored locally. There are no accounts set up to sync with this machine and there haven't been any since the machine was purchased. Steps I have tried: Repairing disk permissions/deleting cacheResetting sync history (I know that's kind of dumb since it's not synching with anything but I'll try anything once. Deleting the calendars and reimporting themÂ
Additional Info: She was initially on a Tiger machine. We exported the calendars from that machine and imported them into another machine running snow leaopard. A few days later we exported from that machine onto her new machine running lion. Not sure if the file could have gotten corrupted during that process.
