If you have setup iCloud Account syncing and have all items turned ON as above
on your Mac and iPhone; but find that your “Calendar” is not syncing, and any
changes you make on your iPhone in “Calendar” & “Contacts” is not syncing with
“Calendar” & “Address Book” on your Mac.
Check these settings and make any necessary changes:
Calendar not syncing to iCloud:
1. First; On your Mac - Open Calendar from your Dock (if Calendars are not
showing, click Calendars button).
2. Check the Calendars are in “iCloud” NOT “On My Mac”
When you create an event make sure it is on the “iCloud” Calendar
(Look at the Calendar field - when you edit the event)
* Only Calendars and Contacts in iCloud groups will sync.
3. On your iPhone check you Default account in Settings > Mail, Contacts,
Calendar > scroll to Calendars section - Default Calendar - iCloud
When entering an event on the iPhone Calendar make sure you select “iCloud”
Calendar.
Contacts not syncing to iCloud:
1. First; On your Mac - Open Contacts from your Dock
Contacts > Preferences - General - Default Account: iCloud
Contacts > Preferences - Accounts - iCloud (enable this account is ticked)
2. Check Contacts are in iCloud groups and not On My Mac groups or other non
iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups)... non iCloud contacts
will not sync.
3. On your iPhone Go into Settings > tap mail, contacts, calendars and scroll
down under Contacts tap “My Info” - tap your name - then tap “Groups” your
iCloud Groups should be selected. Tap Done, then tap Cancel, then tap Settings,
then tap home button to get back to home screen.
Cheers,
Ronni
