Calendar disappeared on iMac (but still available on iCloud) - cannot retrieve it on iMac

All my calendars have disappeared on my iMac


The calendar is completely blank


I share multiple calendars and they have all gone too


The calendars are all still there in iCloud


Here's what I have tried so far...


  • Turning calendar off and on via settings


  • Turning calendar/reminders off in settings, leaving it a few minutes, turning it back on and then restarting the iMac (actually tried a number of different variations on this one) - the reminders disappear and come back but the calendar is still not populating


I can access the calendars on my phone and also using the iCloud calendar on a browser


What should I try next?


One point to add, I'm still on Catalina as my machine is now too old to upgrade to Big Sur - could it have something to do with this?


Thanks in anticipation of any help you can offer


All the best

Update: the calendar had been unpopulated between about 7 am and 3 pm today.


Suddenly, at about 3:15 pm, the events and shared calendars all came back.


If anyone can explain that I'd be curious to know what happened, or if there's anything I could do to prevent it again


Solved: for now at least
