Before you begin: You're on the right page if you're troubleshooting sync issues while setting up your mobile email for the first time. If your email, calendar, and contacts were syncing before and now they don't, see Fix Outlook.com email sync issues.If you don't use an Outlook.com or Office 365 for business account, contact your email provider. I am also using a local calendar on the outlook which has personal calendar entries (Personal and official entries do not overlap) and both these are selected to be synced (Using the Sync Services option in the Outlook) with the Mac Calendar. The Mac calendar is then used by iTunes to sync with the iPhones, I've got two and an iPad. When you enable this capability, we will sync your Google account to the Microsoft Cloud. This means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between Google and Microsoft data centers. Having your mailbox data in the Microsoft Cloud lets you use the new features of Outlook 2016 for Mac with your Gmail account. May 20, 2019 When you accept a meeting and then select Do not Send a Response, Outlook for Mac updates your local calendar with the acceptance only, it does not update the acceptance on your Exchange mailbox.

Try these steps first

Make sure that iCloud Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders are available. If there's an issue, try again after it's fixed. If there isn't an issue, try these steps.

Remember to back up your contacts, calendars, and reminders, so you don't lose anything.

Important: Upgraded reminders aren't compatible with earlier versions of iOS or macOS. Shared reminders are also not accessible to users with earlier versions of iOS and macOS, until they upgrade.

After each step, see if you still need help:

  1. Check for updates to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC. To use iCloud, your devices need to meet the system requirements.
  2. See if the date and time settings on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC are correct.
  3. Make sure that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all your devices and check your settings.
    • On your iPhone, tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you turn on what you want to update (Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders).
    • On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Apple ID, then click iCloud. If you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you select what you want to update (Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders).
    • On your PC, open iCloud for Windows. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you select what you want to update (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks).
  4. If you sign in to third-party apps with your Apple ID, protect your account with two-factor authentication and use an app-specific password. If you don’t have devices that can be updated to iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan or later, you can set up two-step verification instead.
  5. Open Safari and go to www.apple.com to check your connection. If you can’t open the page, get help connecting to the Internet.
  6. Open a secure website, like your Apple ID account page, to see if you can access port 443. If the website won't open, contact your Internet service provider for help. Safari needs access to port 443 to update your information in iCloud.
  7. Keep your data within the limits. If you go over the limit, your data won't stay up to date.
