Sep 03, 2013 Hello, I have the same issue. I tried everything you suggested, but unfortunately neither my mac no my iphone and ipad can sync calendar events. My mac app keeps telling me that it's updating, but never ends the process. And on the iphone/ipad the little wheel keeps on spinning. That means you can keep your calendar up-to-date across all your Apple devices and on the web through iCloud (if you set up Apple Calendar to sync through iCould, that is). This ubiquitous app can also pull in other calendars, such as Google Calendar. If you’re having problems with Office 2016 for Mac especially Outlook 2016 crashes, Word 2016 crashing or Office 2016 crashing in Sierra or High Sierra, here’s a comprehensive list of solutions to repair Office 2016 on Mac.

Calendar lets you can create and edit appointments, share agendas, invite friends and colleagues to events, get alerted, stay on track and — most importantly — on time! You can set up Calendar to work with Apple's iCloud, Google Calendar, Microsoft's Outlook, and even CalDav calendars from your own or your company's servers. What's more, thanks to Siri, you can add, review, and even change appointments quickly and easily, and with the power of your voice.
Since iOS has a unified calendar database, whatever you add or change in Calendar will also be reflected in any third-party calendars you have installed, and vice-versa. Yes, everything is unified and stays organized, regardless of where or how you prefer to use it.
How to set up Calendar on iPhone and iPad
Whether you use Apple's iCloud, Google's Gmail, Microsoft's Outlook or Exchange, or something else, it's easy to set up all your calendar accounts and have them sync to your iPhone or iPad. You can enable iCloud when you first set up your new iPhone or iPad, or enable any service at any time in Settings.
How to customize Calendar in iPhone and iPad
Apple's Calendar app for iPhone and iPad lets you schedule everything from your workday to your household chores. It also lets you keep everything organized by color coding your calendars, setting time zones, setting calendar types — including Chinese, Hebrew, and Islamic — and even customizing default alerts. All so you can have your calendar your way!
How to add and manage calendar events on iPhone and iPad
The Calendar app for iPhone and iPad provides a great way to keep track of all your appointments and events. While it's faster to use Siri to create basic events to add to your calendar, if you need more precise control, or if you want to edit existing event details, you can do it the old fashioned way: by tapping your way through all the options!
How to share calendar events on iPhone and iPad
Apple helps you stay organized by letting you publish calendars on its iCloud service, and then share them with other people. It's great for when you have to plan events, whether they're conferences for work, or family vacations. Best of all, it's built right into your Calendar app on iPhone and iPad!
How to use Calendar with Siri
Since Siri is meant to be your personal assistant, it only makes sense to have it schedule and manage your meetings and events on your iPhone or iPad. Asking Siri to create a calendar event only takes a few seconds and is much faster than creating them manually and entering all the data yourself. Whether you need Siri to schedule a meeting, tell you what's on the agenda for the day, or move an existing meeting to another time to make room for a conference call or a power nap, Siri will help make sure your schedule is set.

I have various calendars from iCloud and Google and it's very often that an event will be deleted from Google calendar but the iPhone will still show it. The same calendar is on iCal on my Mac and it shows it correctly there. If it doesn't, I can ⌘ + R or ⇧ + ⌘ + R to update it.
Phone mail app for mac. Maybe I'm missing the place or configuration to do the same on the iPhone calendar application.
Control app for mac. EDIT: This has been fixed in recent versions of iOS. Please see @LukeWilliams answer which describes simply pulling to refresh the calendars in the Calendars list.
For deprecated versions of iOS:As of iOS 5 there is no super easy/obvious way to do this. What I have found that works, is opening Settings >Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Tapping the email account you'd like to refresh > turn the calendar off > wait while it deletes it > turn the calendar back on.
sometimes by forcing a New Event, it triggers syncing.
On iOS 6 or earlier, my experience is that the easiest way to sync the calendars is, from within the Calendar App on the iPhone, tap the Calendar Button in the upper left corner. You now have a display with a grey Edit button in the upper left, A blue Done button in the upper right, and down at the bottom on the left is a white clockwise circular arrow. Tap it and it will sync the calendars.

I was able to refresh my google calendars on iOS 8 by clicking on 'Calendars' on the bottom of the screen, then just swiping down, just like you would when refreshing your mail inbox. Best free writing app for mac.

I had this problem today and the solutions above did NOT work.
In my case the problem was I did not have calendars enabled for cellular data. Since I wasn't on Wi-Fi, my calendar was not updating.
The solution was:
Go to Settings > Cellular
Make sure Cellular Data toggle is turned on (shows green).
Scroll down to Calendars & Reminders. Make sure toggle switch is turned on (shows green).
That solved it for me!

I had this problem in iOS 8. For some reason, all the events from my work Gmail calendar disappeared. What I did was go into the settings then into mail contacts and calendars and then selected my work Gmail account. I turned off the calendar, then turned it back on. Then I went back to the calendar, and it started to sync. Hope that helps

If you open the iCal app on your phone, go to 'Calendars' and swipe/pull down it will refresh it (you'll see the spinning circle thing). Refreshed and updated it right away.
