To sync an iCloud (Apple) or Yahoo calendar, you need an app-specific password, not your normal password. Create it first, then enter it in the Whale Framely app.
Applies to: OnePlace Smart Wi-Fi Calendars, which use the Whale Framely app. Australia and New Zealand: 10.1" White (DCF10W), 15.6" White (DCF15W) and 21" White (DCF21W). Australia only: 10.1" Oak (DCF10WO) and 15.6" White 16GB (DCF15W-16GB).
Not for OnePlace or Jackson Frameo photo frames. They use the Frameo app: see Frames with the Frameo app.
This works on every OnePlace Smart Wi-Fi Calendar: DCF10W, DCF10WO, DCF15W, DCF15W-16GB and DCF21W.
iCloud: turn on two-factor authentication
Apple only gives app-specific passwords when two-factor authentication is on.
- On your iPhone, open Settings.
- Tap your Apple account, then Sign-In & Security.
- Tap Two-Factor Authentication and turn it on.
- Check at least one trusted device is listed, or add a trusted phone number.
iCloud: create an app-specific password
- Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your password (not Face ID).
- Choose App-Specific Passwords.
- Give the password a name, for example "OnePlace calendar".
- Tap Create and copy the password.
iCloud: sync the calendar
- In the Whale Framely app, tap Devices, choose your calendar, then Sync, Manage and Sync new calendars.
- Choose iCloud.
- Enter your Apple ID and the app-specific password.
- Choose all calendars or just the ones you want.
- Choose one-way or two-way sync.
Yahoo
- Create an app-specific password in your Yahoo account security settings.
- In the Whale Framely app, go to Sync new calendars and choose Yahoo.
- Enter your Yahoo account and the app-specific password.
- Choose the calendars to sync.
If it won't accept the password
- Use the app-specific password, not your normal Apple or Yahoo password.
- Create a new app-specific password and try again.
- Visitor (guest) accounts in the app can't sync calendars.
