Error while merging data problem while syncing calendars to iPhone

My iTunes just recently updated itself to iTunes 12, I'm using OS X Mavericks on a Macbook Pro, and have an iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1.1.
Whenever I try to sync my calendars from my laptop onto my phone, I get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data".  I'm not sure if it's an issue with iTunes or my phone...but everything else syncs normally.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!!

hi there,
i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
and turn back on (MERGE!)
now SYNC it..
and that's it
PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

  • Problem to Sync Calendar in iPhone to Outlook

    I have an issue with syncing iPhone calendar to Outlook calendar since I upgraded to iOS7.
    I have noticed since the upgrade, entries that I made into iPhone calendar will since to Outlook calendar but any subsequent changes of the entry that I made into the Outlook calendar will not sync back into my iPhone.
    I didn't have these issue with the iOS5. I am using iPhone 4 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.
    Can someone please help me? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Outlook 2002 is not officially supported by Apple for iPhone syncing.
    Only 2003 SP2 and 2007.
    There are threads here with workarounds if you search. No promise they will work for you, however.

  • I get error message iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data

    I get error message iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data on my wifes phone how do you correct problem without losing calendars info on phone.

    One thing that might help.
    1. open itunes preferences from the edit menu and click on the devices tab.
    2. check the box to disable syncing for iphones connected to itunes and click ok.
    3. Then click the button to reset sync history.
    4. Now click ok to close the preferences window.
    5. connect the iphone to itunes and go to the info tab.
    6. scroll to the bottom of the info page and check the box to replace the ical data on the iphone.
    7. then click apply on the bottom right of itunes.
    This will overwrite any events on the iphone, including any events that has become corrupted.
    Hope this helps

  • Error occurred while merging data

    I'm a newbie to the mac world but have been using my IPhone and loving it. However when I plugged in the Iphone to my new IMac I get this:
    Itunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while merging data.
    I started getting that same message a few weeks ago on my PC, but just figured it was because of a soon to be replaced pc was...well soon to be replaced. Any thoughts?

    Hello everyone. I am sorry to see your having this issue today. Posted below are some troubleshooting steps that may assist with troubleshooting.
    1. As stated try Reset Sync History.
    On a Windows. Open iTunes. Go to Edit- Preferences-iPhone-Reset Sync History and Confirm
    On a Mac- go to Applications-iSync- Then open iSync Prefs. Then reset sync history and confirm.
    Now attempt to sync data again.
    2. Make sure any data thats on the iPhone that is not in one of the programs on the PC is there now. As this second option will erase that data you manually added unless it already exists on the PC/Mac
    Go to Info- scroll down to Advanced. and put a check mark into Contacts or Calendars. Depending on what is causing the issue. Attempt to Sync again. Check results. If this works normal syncing can take place.
    3. Test Syncing on another USB Port
    4. Reboot the PC/Mac and Sync again
    5. If possible and you do not care about the data on iPhone and assuming it is backed up. Try to sync using another user account or another PC. This will help isolate it to a possible user issue or PC issue and sometimes even an iPhone issue itself.
    6. Try syncing with just the iPhone USB Cord, then try with Dock. See if results are any different.
    Let us know how this works out.

  • ITunes 8.1 won't sync calendars to iPhone for me

    I just installed iTunes 8.1(50) and am trying to synch my iPhone. It appears to synch everything except for calendars. After synching is completed, iTunes displays an alert saying: "iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone 'Darrin's iPhone' because an error occurred while sending data from the iPhone." I have iPhone OS 2.2.1 installed. My console logs show this problem when the calendar sync fails:

  • ITunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

    error message
    iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
    I have spoken to Apple a couple of times in the last week (approx 2hr) apple support said it could be a Microsoft issue I have spoken to Microsoft and read endless information from the net and it seems that Microsoft is not the issue.
    I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, reset all settings in Settings\General on the phone, reset sync history on the iPhone, upgraded microsoft office 2003 to 2007 and I am still getting the error message.
    I have a iPhone 3G, pc is running windows 7 and just upgraded to microsoft office Home and Student 2007 and Office Outlook 2007.
    iTunes version 11.0.2.26
    iPhone iOS 6.1.3
    I have the same error on my wife's iPhone as well.
    Any help would be great.

    Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
    Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
    I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
    Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue.

  • Syncing calendars to iphone

    Recently my calendar will not sync to my iphone. I put it in the dock and then I get the message in itunes saying " syncing calendars with iphone" but the process never gets completed. It stays like this for hours. I have even left it overnight and it still was syncing in the morning. I don't have a large amount of calendar entries either. I tried restoring my iphone and that did not work either.
    Any suggestions??

    I had a similar problem a while back and someone here helped me through it. That's the good news. The bad news is I don't know who and I don't remember what they said exactly. It was something to the effect of going into iTunes and checking a box to synch calendars. This basically purged my events in the phone and forced a synch of my PC events to the phone. It worked. I believe it was under, as in scroll down, mail items. Play around with that and hopefully the person who helped me will show up again. Good Luck. I know how frustrating this can be.

  • Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

    Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

    Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
    Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
    In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
    In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
    Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.
