Is Apple Calendar Down?
Written By The Aftertone Team
Check https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus for live status. If Apple Calendar is not listed as having an active incident, the issue may be on your end -- try restarting the app or checking your internet connection.
What to do right now
1. Open Google Calendar directly. Your events sync there regardless of whether Apple Calendar is working.
2. Write your three priorities for the day. Open Notes or grab a piece of paper. Three things that have to happen today. Apple Calendar going down does not change what matters.
3. Check Apple Calendar's status. Apple Calendar syncs via iCloud. The app itself works offline with cached events.
4. Start on your first priority. The real cost of a planning tool outage is not the 20 minutes it is down -- it is the hour you lose waiting for it instead of working.
