Mac calendar not syncing with your iPhone
Your calendar is connected to iCloud but it's not syncing properly. Turning iCloud syncing off and back on for Calendar fixes this in most cases.
Your Mac and iPhone store calendar events in the same iCloud account, but the sync between them has stalled. This happens when Calendar loses its connection to iCloud, when the iCloud settings are disabled, or when there's a temporary glitch that syncing again will clear.
