Figured out you have to turn on the Calendar alerts in iCloud and then it will work. Only problem is, it populated my phone with all the alerts in my husband's phone. grrrr..... You can turn off the calendar alerts in iCloud and it asked if you want to delete the calendar updates and i said yes but it deleted ALL ......including mine! Turned it back on and it repopulated but I really don't want his calendar dates on my phone. I'm not liking iCloud one bit!
