Events created on iPhone not added to iCal

The events I've created on my iPhone to not get added to iCal when I sync via iTunes. I've tried "sync all calendars" as well as syncing selected calendars.
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I have a feeling it's really obvious and I'm just not seeing it...

I have a solution that ACTUALLY works:
Make sure your iPhone is displayed in iTunes.
Select your iPhone and then select the Info tab.
UNCHECK Sync Address Book contacts, and then recheck.
UNCHECK Sync iCal contacts, and then recheck.
Sync your iPhone.
You'll be prompted to accept both Address Book and iCal changes and the sync will work!
From that point on all you have to do is sync normally and it'll transfer both Address Book contacts and iCal events BOTH ways!
Thank you to the fabulous Apple Tech representative who helped figure out this solution!!!

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

    that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

    Ok, this will work.
    1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
    2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
    2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
    3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
    4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
    5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
    It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
    Good luck!

  • Calendar event created on iphone not showing in ical.

    I have a 4S and when I create a calendar event in ical, it does not show up in my ical ofn my Macbook Pro.
    I have check sync calendars in iTunes and have selected to display all calendars in my Macbook's iCal.
    Is ther some thing I am overlooking, or a step I may be forgetting?
    Thanks

    After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
    0) Plug in iPhone
    1) Start iCal
    2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
    3) Quit iCal
    4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
    5) Start iCal
    6) Import all exported calendars
    7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
    8) Sync iPhone

  • Syncing Events Created with iPhone Not an Option?

    Okay, I've read as many discussion threads as my eyes can handle and have tried several solutions suggested to no avail. I am using Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 but was very recently using Windows XP Pro and Outlook 2003. The same problem applies to both environments.
    While I've had no problem syncing contacts and calendars from my computer to the iPhone, I cannot go the other direction. The selection box beside the phrases "Put new events (or contacts) created on this iPhone into the group (or calendar)," which is then followed but what should be a drop down menu, appears gray and is unselectable. I figured it was some simple preference setting in either Outlook or the iPhone that was causing the problem and found my way to the discussions to seek the remedy. Once here, I find myself overwhelmed and wondering if I now need a computer engineering degree to prevent missed appointments or the need for double entry. Please help a poor, technically challenged individual not regret the decision to by this phone!!

    I'm guessing that perhaps the reason the option to "Put new Contacts/Events created on iPhone" is not available is that I only have one calendar/group (Outlook) available on my computer. That is also why it defaults to "All Contacts" and "All Calendars"
    Evidently the actual syncing from the iPhone to the computer is unrelated to the availability of these options. At least that appears to be true in my case. I was actually able to get mine to work using the information in the article posted by someone else and available at
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845
    It seems the step regarding "Removing all other Third Party Add Ins" did the trick. I just didn't think it worked initially since the options on the Info tab did not change.
    Hope that helps! Thanks to all for the input. B

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing properly

    I've set iTunes to "Put new events creatd on this iPhone into the calendar" to my "Home" calendar, but when I create a new event on my iPhone and sync, the event shows up in the Read-Only "US Holidays" calendar (it's one that I subscribe to from Apple). I've tried the "Reset Sync History" feature in iSync several times (rebooting afterwards) but the problem persists. Any ideas??

    Items that I enter on my iphone also get added to a calendar that I subscribe to, which is supposed to be read only, even though I have chosen another calendar to add new items too. My read-only calendar does not appear in the select box in the itunes info sync page, but it is getting the events, no matter what calendar I do choose. Then when the calendar gets auto refreshed from its source, the events disappear. I cannot change the events to place them on a different calendar, once they are in iCal my, because the calendar is read-only -- to everything but iphone.

  • Events created on iPhone NOT synching to Calendar - and I'm all up to date

    I'm on a MacBook, running 10.4.10, all software is latest up to date, running iPhone 1.0.1.
    I have a Calendar event I created yesterday for today (3pm appt). I've plugged/unplugged to sync repeatedly, iTunes reports sync is finished, but the event doesn't make it onto the MacBook's Calendar.
    This is deeply alarming as I thought I could count on iPhone created events to migrate to my Mac and .Mac calendars - anybody know anything more about this?
    -mike

    I'm experiencing a hybrid variation of what everyone else in this thread has reported.
    *Calendars*
    I am using Entourage, and have two calendars set up in iCal. One is labeled Entourage and according to the notes, "This calendar is automatically created by Microsoft Entourage" so I'm leaving that one alone. I also created a second calendar named "iPhone". I have my iPhone sync preferences in iTunes set to sync with both calendars. Up until today (I hadn't synced calendars in a few days), everything seemed to move to and fro without any issues.
    This morning though, the items I changed in iPhone successfully synced to both calendars in iCal, but did not carry over to Entourage. Even the "Entourage" calendar in iCal reflects all the changes. Similarly, items I added in Entourage are not making it over to the iPhone.
    In iTunes, I have the preferences set to add new events from the iPhone into the Entourage calendar.
    *Contacts*
    Contacts don't appear to be syncing in either direction.
    Short story long, it looks like iCal and the iPhone are getting along swimmingly, but Entourage isn't syncing. I find this odd since the Entourage-created calendar in iCal looks fine - I would think if Entourage is showing as updated in iCal...then it would be updated in Entourage.
    I did reset the sync history...that didn't appear to do anything helpful.
    Entourage is my main calendar/address book...so this is a bit frustrating.

  • Events created in iPhone not showing up in iCal

    The reason for the problem is that Tiger and Leopard used different places to store iCal calendar information only clearing out BOTH and starting fresh will ensure no old calendars from Tiger get in to corrupt the new Leopard ones.
    Tiger stored calendars in: Users/<Username>/Library/Application Support/ical
    Leopard stores calendars in: Users/<Username>/Library/Calendars
    Remove both these folders and quiet both iCal and iTunes.
    Then just to be sure reset the preferences in iSync. Launch iSync>prefs>reset sync history. This may grey out as it thinks its done or not needed. This greying out happens if there are no devices listed in iSync, if so relaunch iSync and you get a short time to try again. iSync looks like its not syncing anything if you are only using .Mac and iPhone. This is because iSync previously controlled syncing .Mac but this is now in System Preferences and iphone syncing is done through iTunes in fact it iSync is still keeping a log behind the scenes, Its this log of sync history that needs to be reset.
    Then open iCal and iTunes, iCal will remake the default calendars Home and Work. Which you can rename.
    I had no old calendars to export and I'm not sure that bringing old ones back in will not cause problems again, for me starting fresh was the best way. If you can't then try exporting your current calendars and then do the clear out, bring them back in at the end. Hopefully they will go into the new Leopard location the old Tiger one will not be recreated.
    Success! Thanks to Apple in Cork.

  • Help!! cal event created and emailed not posting to ical

    i create a calendar event in outlook at the office and invite my personal email address and then when i look at my ical the event does not show up.. i have the option set so this should happen automatically but it doesn't....please any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    not sure what you mean????
    if i receive and invite from someone (or send to myself for that matter) the event should be automatically posted to my calendar without any action on my part.
    this is what happens when an event is sent to a gmail account (the event is automatically posted on the calendar)

  • Todo created in mail not added to iCal

    Just upgraded my MacBook Pro with Leopard, and have installed all the software updates. I Can't seem to make a to-do that I create in mail to show up on my iCal calendar. The to-do gets created in mail no problem, and shows up there on the list of to-dos. It has the correct information, title, date, time, etc. and shows as being listed on the correct calendar (my "work" calendar). However, when I go over to iCal and look at that same calendar, the to-do is not there. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for help.

    IGNORE THIS POST - I SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

    and the work calendar appears in ical under your email account name, correct?
    I would play around with todos and calendars as follows:
    1) create one or several other calendars in ical under your email account with which you create your to dos in Leopard Mail.
    2) try to assign your already created to do to other calendars, see what happens
    3) create other to dos in these other calendars from Mail, see if they appear in ical
    4) create other to dos in these calendars under your email account name in ical, and see if these to dos appear in Leopard Mail
    let me know what you find.

  • Event created on iPhone does not appear in iCal

    When I create an event on my phone and sync, it does not appear in iCal. Events created on my laptop sync without issue. Contacts sync both ways, but calendar events do not go from the phone to the computer. I am not using MobileMe to sync, simply using the USB cable.
    I have tried the following to resolve my issues:
    * Make sure iTunes and iPhone are up to date
    * Make sure all calendars are set to sync with iTunes
    * Try different USB ports on the laptop
    * Restart phone and computer
    * Reset sync history in iSync and re-sync
    * Follow directions in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 to do a full reset of sync history and re-sync
    Yet after trying all of those solutions, I still cannot sync events created on my phone to my laptop. Does anyone out there know of anything else I can try that might work?
    Thank you,

  • Iphone not adding events in ical

  • Calendar events created on iphone do not sync to ical...

    I have created several events on my iphone calendar then watched them disappear when performing a sync with my laptop. I have gone to itunes, hi-lited my iphone (when mounted) then gone to "info" tab in itunes, I've selected "home" where it says "Put new events created on this iphone into the calendar" (pull down menu)
    None of these phone-created-events end up in "home" or "work" or any of my other calendars. My laptop ical overrides anything on the phone and deletes it. Is there something else I should be checking or setting? I have the most current version of iphone software that's been offered (1.1.4). I would like to be able to put an event in there and have the sync work both ways.

    Never mind. For some reason it just worked. I guess I really meant it this time.

  • Calendar events created in iPhone don't sycn to iCal

    I migrated from a Blackberry to iPhone about a month ago, so am somewhat green to the nuances of the platform.
    I notice that when I create a calendar event in the iPhone (3g, 2.2.1), it does not get sync'ed to my iCal calendar. Changes in iCal sync to the iPhone just fine.
    I've done the reset suggestions listed in the Apple support site that relate to resetting the iSync history as well as running the unix command with no change.
    Any suggestions here?
    thanks,
    Larry

    I am also having the problem. Events created on the iPhone do not sync to either my MobileMe calendar (no matter what platform (Mac/PC) or browser(IE/Safafi) I open it from)or the iCals on either my desktop or laptops Macs. All have MobileMe preferences set to sync calendars, and iPhone is set to Sync with my Macs in iTunes. All events added anywhere BUT the iPhone itself, sync across all my Macs and MobileMe, only the event actually added from the iPhone itself fail to sync.
    Anybody got anything new on this?

  • Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

    Hello,
    I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
    Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
    I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
    Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
    Can anybody confirm this behavior?
    Is there any setting that I can try?
    Any procedure that I should try?
    ny other suggestions?
    Thanks much!
    Erik

    Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
    I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
    There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.

  • New Events Created on iPhone Still Don't Sync to iCal 3

    I have been having the same problems that others have had:  events that I create on my iPhone do not sync with iCal since I upgraded to 10.5.  
    But now I noticed something even more bizarre.  After upgrading to 10.5.1, the pop-up menu in Itunes "Put new events created on the iPhone into this calendar" has switched from one of my calendars to a calendar labeled "Home."  The only problem is I don't have a calendar called "Home."  Nor does this "Home" calendar show up in other contextual menus in either iCal or Mail.  Odd.

    I found a solution that worked for me. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6002974&#6002974 said to Export and delete my calendars. I did that. As soon as I did though, I got a merging problem. I followed what http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5772325&#5772325 said and replaced my iPhone calendar with my iCal data (of course I made sure important events were in iCal first). But they talk to each other now and all is well in the universe again.
