Tasks added on iPhone/iPad don’t show up on the Mac

If you create tasks in BusyCal on iPhone/iPad but they don’t appear on BusyCal for Mac, it’s usually one of these causes:

• The tasks were created in a different account/calendar/list than the one you’re viewing on the Mac.
• A Calendar Set / Smart Filter on the Mac is hiding the task calendar.
• The task calendar is visible on iOS but unchecked (hidden) on the Mac.

Fix checklist

1. On iPhone/iPad, open one of the missing tasks and confirm which calendar/list it belongs to.
2. On the Mac, ensure that same calendar is enabled in the Calendar List sidebar.
3. If you’re using a Calendar Set / Smart Filter, make sure the task calendar is included in that set (or switch to a view that shows all calendars).
4. Trigger a refresh:
   • Mac: press ⌘R
   • iOS: open BusyCal and pull to refresh if needed

If you’re syncing Microsoft 365 / Outlook, make sure you’re using the Office 365 (Microsoft Graph) account type (recommended) rather than legacy Exchange methods.
