An employee is attempting to synchronize their contacts and calendar from their company-issued iPhone to their MacBook for easier access during business trips. They've successfully added their iCloud account on the MacBook, but only contacts have been synchronized, not the calendar entries. As an IT support specialist, what is the FIRST action you should take to ensure that calendar synchronization is successful?
Verify that calendar synchronization is enabled in the iCloud settings on the MacBook.
Restart the MacBook to refresh the iCloud synchronization process.
Check the network connectivity on the MacBook to ensure it is connected to the internet.
Update the operating system of the MacBook to the latest version.
Reinstall the operating system on the MacBook.
Advise the employee to manually export the calendar from the iPhone and import it to the MacBook.
To ensure that calendar synchronization is successful, the first step is to check if calendar synchronization is enabled in the iCloud settings. Users must specifically enable calendar synchronization for it to function; it does not happen automatically when an iCloud account is added to a device. Ensuring calendar sync is enabled would be the initial, least invasive, and most direct step to resolving the synchronization issue. Verifying network connectivity, updating the operating system, and restarting the device are troubleshooting steps that could potentially resolve the issue but are less direct actions than confirming settings specific to the problem. Reinstalling the operating system is an extreme and unnecessary measure for this issue.
