Cannot sync iCal and iPhone in Leopard

Hello,
iCal will not sync to my iPhone since upgrading to Leopard. I've restarted both iPhone and Mac repeatedly, but that hasn't helped. I've tried changing iPhone iCal sync settings but nothing works. All other information is synced, just not iCal.

Thanks so much for the advice.
Unfortunately, the problem persists. Syncing of iCal has been completely unstable ever since purchasing my iPhone both before Leopard and after. I just updated to 10.5.1 and the issue remains.
I have just deleted unwanted calendars - no improvement. I have reset the iPhone - no change. I have reset my iSync history - no effect.
This is a true case of Apple simply "just not working" instead of "just working". I've been a user since 1991 and an avid fan. Apple simply isn't the same company it used to be. I have a hard time advocating when something this basic to the PDA functionality consistently fails.
Thanks again for your help.

  • Cannot sync ical from iphone to my mac pro

    Hi All
    I have tried all sorts and although I ticked the relevant boxes on itunes, I cannot transfer (sync) ical info from iphone to my mac.
    I have no info on my mac i cal, everything else like contacts seem to sync no problem!
    I have tried using isync instead of itunes as some folk recommended but without any success.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks for your help

    Before syncing calendar events with an empty supported calendar app on your computer, you need to enter one calendar event in the supported calendar app on your computer - in this case in iCal on your Mac. Make this calendar event up if needed, which can be deleted later.
    If there are any calendar events available on your iPhone, this should provide a merge prompt with this first sync for this data, which you want to select.

    iSync can't be used to sync anything with an iPhone. iSync can be used to reset the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences.

  • Syncing iCal and iPhone

    My MacBook and iPhone are not syncing properly,especially in iCal...there's intermittent syncing. This started happening after I installed Lion. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I am having the exact same problem! UGH!

  • Sync iCal and iPhone

    I entered my whole calendar into iCal on MacBook running 10.4.10. All the events in iCal synced into the iPhone but all the times were wrong by 4 hours. Both my iPhone and iCal are set on Eastern Standard time so I can't understand the problem.

    I saw this on another discussion--double check your settings and make sure the phone didn't go back to the default setting in Cupertino, CA.

  • Who else cannot sync ical with iphone?

    i sync with itunes- but i cannot get it to sync the calendars. it just keeps 'syncing'. i love this phone a lot, but really...
    has anyone not had this problem?
    has anyone gotten around this problem?

    Ok, mine works now. I went in to my home folder then to library and trashed the iCal folder inside the Application Support folder (this will delete your calendar so you might want to export it-I think you can do this). Then I went to Disk First Aid and restored the system preferences. Then I logged out, logged back in and then imported my old calendar to iCal and then synced. It worked! I think there was something wrong with the old calendar file. Good luck!

  • Cannot Sync iCal with iPhone (2.0.1) and iTunes (7.7.1)

    I tried to sync with iTunes this morning and I noticed that none of my calendar items were being synced. I did an search of the forums and found some old solutions. I tried them but none of them worked for me. Here's what I've tried:
    1. Logging in to a different iTunes account
    2. Resetting the history on iSync
    3. in iTunes, going to Info>Advanced and replacing all the info on the iPhone
    4. Full restore of the iPhone
    5. Verifying that all the items are checked in the Info panel (calendar, address book, etc.)
    I get this message when I try to sync: "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone [my phone's name] because a sync session could not be started."
    Again, I've tried all the possible solutions. I cannot remember the last time I synced. It may have been before iTunes updated.
    I do not use MobileMe. Any ideas?

    I followed the procedure for iSync in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7477550&#7477550
    Here is the procedure:
    Move the SyncServices folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices to the desktop
    Trash all the caches in ~/Library/Caches
    Restart machine (with fingers crossed)

  • Cannot sync iCal on iPhone since getting a new iMac

    Since getting a new iMac at work, I can't sync my iCal on the iPhone. The iCal on the computer is fine, but nothing shows on my iPhone.
    Everything else syncs and the Apple support person tried for over an hour yesterday and couldn't get it to sync.
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    Yes, 10.5.8.  Is there another way to add in an account to sync my calendars then?  I use a Yahoo account. 

  • Cannot sync iCal and Address Book to iPod

    I have an iBook and a 30g video iPod. I have plenty of contacts in my Apple address book and plenty of info in iCal, but when I try to load them onto my iPod, it says I must ADD contacts and calendars. It doesn't seem to recognize my contacts and my calendars. Help!!

    I was told by iPod support to go to iTunes/preferences/iPod and I would see an option for contacts and calendar. I did not so they had me restore my iPod which removed all my contacts and calendar items that I had previously be able to sync. Now they say they are not authorized to help with this problem, so I'm left with no contacts or calendar items on my iPod. Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to sync these from my iMac G5 OS X 10.3.9 to my 2G iPod Nano?

  • Keeping latest entries when syncing iCal and iPhone

    Hello,
    Is there a way I can *keep my latest entries* on iCal (be them on my iPhone or MacBook Pro) rather choosing one device's entries to replace the others?
    Thank you,
    Nando.

  • Cannot sync iTunes and iPhone

    Hi Gents,
    I still use an old 16G iPhone and I am very happy with it. I got the following message "some applications in your iTunes Library were not installed on the iPhone 'my iPhone' because you are not authorized for them on this computer".
    Any suggestion?
    For information, I had to reinstall OSX and all applications from scratch a week ago, and then copied back iTunes from back-up.
    Thanks a lot from Paris,
    Patrick

    I finally found the solution there:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    from the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
    and it works fine for me

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

    Hello,
    How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
    I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
    I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

    On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
    Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need help syncing iCal and Outlook 2011 (for Mac) THANKS!

    QUESTION: How do I sync iCal and Outlook up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    I just bought an iPhone. I am trying to get my phone and my MacBook Pro synced up through iCloud.
    I realize that I need to have Outlook 2011 and iCal set up for syncing for this to work.
    I did this at one point, and it resulted in all of my ALL DAY appointments being duplicated in Outlook, iCal, and on the calendar on my phone - and iCloud sending out duplicate invitations to events.
    Then, I turned syncing between iCal and Outlook and deleted all of the duplicates in my Outlook.
    Of course, because I haven't set up Outlook to sync with iCal, iCal and my phone's calendar have not changed. There are still duplicates there.
    How do I sync them up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can be!
    Cheers!

    My iPhone 4 was working fine, synched with Outlook 2011 on my iMac 11.02 through iTunes. Calendar changes also appeared in iCal, even though I don't use iCal - I only use Outlook. Last week I was prompted to update Outlook, which I did successfully. Today, I plugged the iPhone into the iMac to synch and suddenly all Calendar and Contact items are gone from the iPhone and in iCal on the iMac. In iTunes, the option to synch with Outlook in the Info tab ("other") is greyed out. What happened? Why can't I synch the iPhone anymore with Outlook? All the Calendar and Contact info is still on the iMac in Outlook. Help!
