Hi Gordon,
Thank you for the kind words!
So to be clear, you have created a new calendar on your iPhone but you don't see it on your iPad?
Have you configured iCloud on both devices?
If you create an event on your iPhone, does it appear on your iPad? (usually within about 10 - 20 seconds)
If you aren't sure, can you create a test event on your iPhone called 'Test123' in the new calendar, and then use the Info button (top right) and select the 'Email log data to support' option. That will help me see what might be happening.
Thanks
John
