Events added on my iPhone are not syncing with iCal.  ios5 and Lion

I always have my iPhone handy and use it all the time to add my events.  I think it is easier to add them on the phone and easier to view on my MacBook Pro.  Anyway......... all the events I am adding on my iPhone stopped syncing to my iCal as soon as I installed ios5.  Is there a fix yet?  It is VERY annoying!!!

i figured it out.... before syncing your phone to your macbook or whatever:
-go into settings
-select icloud
-go to calendars
-change the selector from ON to OFF
-sync phone to computer
-ical syncing with phone will now work like it did before iOS5 and iCloud, but in a good way

  • HT1296 I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone.  New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa.  I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update.  Any suggestions?

    It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
    If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.

  • Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

    My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
    so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
    anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
    problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
    related problem?
    thank
    Hein

    I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
    Below that is:
    "From My Mac.
    "All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
    This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
    Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
    Hope this helps you.

  • IPhone will not sync with iCal

    I'm having problems whereby events created on my iPhone is not syncing with my iCal. (Entry does not show up on iCal after sync)

    archonium,
    did you check the sync iCal option in the iTunes (iPhone) sync tab?
    If you did and that doesn't work. Try this....
    1) Open Disk Utilities on your mac and run 'Repair Disk Permissions' on your hard drive
    2) Restart your mac.
    3) try again. If it still doesn't work, try resettin the iPhone. Try again.
    4) If the above doesn't work. Try RESTORING your iPhone via iTunes. That may work.
    hope one of these work
    good luck!

  • The events I create on my Iphone 4 are not syncing with iCal.

    Everything was fine until I updated the software on the phone to the iOS 5 and now I notice that events which I originated on my phone will not sync with my computer's iCal.  I believe that things which are on my ICal will sync with my phone but not vice versa.  I've tried changing the settings in iCal, ITunes and on my Iphone.  Any suggestions on how to fix this. 
    Thank you!

  • Calendar events created on the BlackBerry before first sync are not synced with iCal

    Hi all,
    I’m helping my uncle regarding problems and requests he has about his BlackBerry Bold 9000. One request he had is to be able to synchronize the calendar with iCal (he has a Mac). I thought this was a simple task, but it eventually appeared to be a nightmare. I spent several hours before finally giving up.
    This is the situation:
    His BlackBerry’s calendar is full of events (past and future). iCal is empty. We would simply like to see all his BlackBerry’s events in iCal. We’re using BlackBerry Desktop Manager (last version as of 2010-02-25).
    The first synchronization didn't changed anything. Events created after that, either in iCal or on the BlackBerry, appeared correctly on the other side after re-syncing.
    Searching in the Knowledge Base and on this forum, I found KB13330 and KB19621. Do you think it is linked to this last issue?
    I made a backup of the BlackBerry before doing any testing, and started over everything several times. I even cleaned all iCal and SyncServices data (and also tested with a new empty account on his Mac), but it didn’t change anything.

    I have not signed up for or used i-cloud and do not believe I've entered anything via i-could (at least not on purpose :-) ).  I either enter an event in the calendar (i-calendar version 6.8--came on the laptop) OR into the calendar program on the i-phone 5 and then sync--I expect the event to then show up in the proper location on both devices--this is the way it has worked flawlessly with the MacBook Pro and i-phone 4 for a long time.
    The operating system of the laptop is: 10.8.4 and the iphone 5 is: 6.1.4.  I believe both are current; I frequently search for updates and install them regularly.
    Thanks for your time to assist me.  Our tech "guy" is also stumped by this--a long time Apple product user and very knowledgeable "techie."

  • Deleted Items on my iPhone are not syncing with my deleted items in Outlook

    Prior to OS 3.0 whenever I deleted an item on my iPhone and then deleted it from the trash it would sync and do the same on my pc. I am using Outlook Exchange.
    My inbox, outbox and sent mail are all syncing. Just not the trash.
    My trash is showing as empty on iPhone and full on Outlook.
    Thanks.

  • Calendar updates made in iCloud &/or iPhone are not syncing with Outlook 2010.

    I have reinstalled software for iCloud & iTunes.  iOS 7.0.4 - iPhone. 
    The iCloud add-in is not visible in Outlook & doesn't download with software - any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    i had same problem. everything worked fine backing up iphone to macbook pro and Ical until IOS 5 upgrade, then selective entries on Iphone wouldn't backup to Ical despite repeated attempts. I did what you did, turned off calander iCloud feature so it backs up only to MacBook and it seems to have solved problem.

  • Events doubling up on iPhone 3G when synced with iCal on my iMac

    Hi all,
    I'm having an annoying problem with iCal on my iPhone 3G...
    I'm happily using iCal on my iMac and everything seems up to date, days and events look perfectly normal on there. However, when I sync it up with my iPhone 3G, for some reason some events (but not all) are being doubled up on my iPhone. They aren't there on my iMac's copy of iCal - that still looks correct.
    I tried going through and deleting the extra events from my iPhone. As soon as I synced again with my iMac, all the rogue events reappeared on my iPhone. Tried it a few times, same result.
    I have a feeling the rogue events that are appearing on my iPhone are ones that I originally inputted onto my iPhone's copy of iCal, then a few weeks later I've adjusted them, deleted them, generally tidied up my calendar through iCal on my iMac. This might be why it's only doing it to a few events I've added, not all of them. When I re-sync, it's like they keep being resurrected on my iPhone.
    I've tried re-syncing using the Advanced option in iTunes where you replace information on the iPhone - the rogue events still came back on my iPhone. I also just tried going to my iSync preferences and resetting my Sync History. Didn't fix it.
    I don't use MobileMe and I have no other computers or calendars so there's nothing else trying to sync up that might be generating these doubled up events. I'm not doing anything other than try and sync my iPhone 3G with my iMac through iTunes.
    Any ideas where these extra events are coming from and how I can flush them out of my iPhone's copy of iCal?

    I just posted this in another thread, but I'll summarize it here for you:
    I had three groups of calendars in the Calendar app on my iPhone (OS 3.0): calendars from my MobileMe account, a set of calendars I had subscribed to with iCal, and calendars entitled "From My Mac" which was a duplicate of every calendar from the other two groups. What I wanted was to go back to having just the MobileMe syncing over the air, plus the subscribed calendars, so everything would be continuously updated instantly. I didn't need a duplicate set of static calendars, and so I wanted to get rid of the calendars in the group "From My Mac".
    I made sure I'd unchecked the checkboxes for iCal in the Info tab of iTunes for my iPhone, and then applied the sync. Unfortunately, this did not remove that new special group of calendars for my iPhone, yet. I guess it kept them just in case. (Side note: Interestingly, when I recreated my problem to re-test this, I forgot to do this again. The checkbox for the Calendars seems to magically uncheck itself if I go through the rest of the steps without doing this first. I think iTunes gets informed from the cloud at some point, perhaps after I decide to delete the calendars in the "From My Mac" group from within the iPhone. So, you may not need to do this. Anyways, make sure it's unchecked so it won't happen again…)
    On the iPhone, I opened the Settings app, went into "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", chose my MobileMe account, and then turned off the Calendars. It asked me whether I wanted to delete the MobileMe calendars from my iPhone and I chose "Delete from My iPhone". Note that the message explicitly refers to your iPhone and not MobileMe, so you are not deleting them from MobileMe. (But please do read the messages and don't assume that's what it says. There are many prompts.) If you don't delete them for your iPhone, they'll get added to the "From My Mac" group of calendars. This isn't a problem since this group will get deleted later, so you can choose either to keep them, or delete them now.
    Wait a moment before turning the Calendars back on, to give it time to process the "offing". When turning the Calendars on, I was asked whether I wanted to merge the MobileMe calendars with the existing calendars on my iPhone, that special group I was trying to get rid of. I chose "Do not Merge" because I didn't want even more duplicates, I just wanted what I had in the cloud, on MobileMe.
    After not merging the calendars, next it asked whether I wanted to keep the existing calendars I had on my iPhone. I chose to "Delete" them, which it then asked me to confirm (Delete or Cancel) so again I chose "Delete". (And once again, please read the messages carefully and don't assume what they say just because what is written here. The messages might change with updates.) When I opened the Calendars app on the iPhone, the "From My Mac" group of calendars was completely gone. I was back to what I had before, just two groups: the MobileMe calendars I had just turned on, and the subscribed calendars that I hadn't touched.
    I think the key is to not merge with the duplicate set of calendars, and to not keep them. Otherwise, you can't go wrong because everything is on MobileMe, as long as you're synced with it.

  • My ical on iphone will not sync with ical on macbook

    I have iphone 4s and Macbook Pro (OS X Lion; version 10.7.5)
    I have my iCloud all set up on both my iphone and my macbook.  I am trying to sync my calendar to when I enter in a new appointment on my iphone calendar, it will also add to my macbook calendar.
    I have checked for all system updates on both machines, rebooted everything, and nothing seems to work.
    My ical on my macbook will sync to my phone, but I can't get it to sync the other way.
    Any help or advice?
    Greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Iphone  does not sync with Ical

    When I add an item in Ical it always appears on my Iphone after a sync. However, if I add a calendar item on my Iphone and then sync it never appears in Ical. I have looked at the settings 100 times and no matter what I do I cannot get this to work properly.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    If resetting sync history doesn't work for you (it didn't for me), you can try the following. This solution, although lousy, seemed to work. Make sure you have auto-sync selected from iTunes. Reboot with your iphone plugged in. When you log in, do not open any of the applications required by iTunes to sync. I got my contacts and my calendar items. Finally. Now if Apple could fix this in the next update, we'll all be set.

  • Hi All: My iPhone will not sync with iCal.

    This is a direct USB connection, no MobileMe involved. There is no error message; the Mac apparently just does not "see" events on the iPhone. I've changed the synching prefs from "Sync all calendars," to "Sync selected calendars" (and checking all of my calendars), back to "Sync all calendars"--and the iPhone info simply does not show on the desktop Calendar.
    I added this question to the John Maisey thread, but got no responses. Any ideas?
    System info:
    Mac OS 10.6.7
    iTunes 10
    iOS 4.3.3
    Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

    Hi,
    I suggest you reset your sync history, then sync through iTunes again. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Post back if that does not work.
    Best wishes

  • My iphone is not syncing with my itunes and i already tried restarting my iphone how do i fix it

    my itunes wont allow me to sync my iphone. i already tried resetting my phone to factory setting but that didnt work

    Are you sure that you're sending the message to the correct number or apple id? You could try to turn off the wifi just for isolation. Have you tried sending from elsewhere to see if it's the phone or the network? Try some isolation steps to see where the issue's coming from

  • IPhone Calendar Changes not Syncing with ICal

    Additions and changes to my iPhone calendar are not synced with ICal on my Mac. Syncing the other direction (adding or changing appointments on my Mac) works, but nothing I change or add on my iPhone appears on my Mac (the same seems to be true of contacts and notes). I have the same problem with an iPod touch.
    Has anyone else experienced (and fixed) a similar problem? As it ism the iPhone-Mac sync only works in one direction!

    I had the same problem, and then all my calendars stopped syncing either way. They picked a beautiful time to do it, too... right as I was leaving on a business/pleasure vacation where I was making on the fly appointments. grumble
    However, I fixed it tonight. Here is what I did.
    1. Back up (export) all your iCal calendars. (not just good practice, you'll need them later) Make sure iCal is closed.
    2. under ~/Library/Application Support/iCal delete everything.
    3. under ~/Library/Calendars delete everything
    4. Sync your phone.
    At this point you should have your phone overwriting everything in iCal. If your problem is ONLY syncing from phone to iCal you should be good to go, if you can't sync either way, you'll need to:
    5. Drag all your backed up calendars back to iCal. In theory they will sort themselves out, but you might have some duplicates between stuff you've created on your phone and in iCal.
    I don't know if this will keep the problem from occurring again, but at the very least, I was able to test out my ability to create events on either side, and it works.
    I kept hoping that the last iPhone update would solve this for me, alas!
