Hi, how do I get my calendar to update across Macbook and iMac Desktop?

I have a Macbook and an iMac Intel desktop.
I want to use iCal on my desktop so that my macbook can be updated at the the same time. How do I do this?
If anyone has any ideas how I can also access the same docs online from both computers (iMac not big enough to run iCloud) I would also be grateful.
Many thanks...
Neil

Prior to iCloud being available I used an app called SyncTogether with pretty good success. While it's not as reliable as iCloud it did work.

Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data. We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar. How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

HT4759 How do I get my calendar to Sync across my iPhone, IPad & Mac ?

I recently upgraded to Maverik. I used to be able to Sync my Calendar on my IPhone, IPad and Mac under Itunes. Maverick does not give me this option under Itunes, as it me be done in ICloud. ICloud is not syncing my calendat across all devices.

Open the Calendar app on your Mac and go to Calendar>Preferences>General and make sure the Default Calendar is set to an iCloud calendar and not an On My Mac calendar. If it isn't, change the default to an iCloud calendar, then try adding a test event on your Mac calendar and see if it appears on icloud.com now.
If it doesn't, try adding any missing events from the calendar on your Mac to the calendar on icloud.com. Once all the Mac events are on the calendar on icloud.com, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendar, choose Delete from Mac (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check Calendar again, add another test event and see if it syncs now.
If it still doesn't sync to icloud.com, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

How can I get Outlook calendar to sync with iPhone and iPad?

I think I have tried evert known setting but syncing seems very selective. I have googled for solutions, too.
Currently, I load an even into my Outlook calendar (and have the right boxes checked in iTunes) but I am damned if the even will transpose to either my iPhone or my iPad! My Outlook also displays the iCloud calendar too.
Is there a definitive instruction that is, effectively, a child's guide to setting up Outlook to transpose events to the Apple devices AND vice-versa?
In my iPhone and iPad, I have the iCloud sync box ticked. In my phone calendars I have both PC and iCloud ticked. Events show in my Outlook and Outlook iCloud but not in the &^&^*&^(*&(*)&(* iPhone or iPad. I have had some close shaves over missing events and want to have this solved.
Pleeeeease?

An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too). But not to the iPad. Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC. "icloud is still faulty"
So there we are! I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office.

My ipad has stopped syncing my calendar. Both iPhone and ipad. After going to the setting - mail, contacts,calendar my Ipad has no where under the calendar category for default calendar. How can I get my calendar to sync between iPhone and ipad???

Up until recently my calendar were syncing (between my iPhone 4 & ipad mini). They are no longer synching. I have searched and everything matches to all the resolutions, the problem is on my ipad under Calendars in the settings there is no option for "default calendar". Every other option matches to what is on my phone, just the default calendar option is missing. The default email is the same for both. Help!!!!
Thank you

How do I get sent webmail to synch across Mac and iPhone?

Hello,
If I compose a message on my iMac, it will not appear in the webmail's sent mailbox on my iphone. The reverse is true too: if I compose a message on my iPhone, it will not appear in my iMac's webmail sent mailbox.
I have successfully set up all my webmail accounts on my iMac's Mail as IMAP. I can see sent messages I compose on my iMac in the sent mail folder (I configured the sent mail folder by going to Mailboxes and selecting "Use this Mailbox As" => Sent). I did the same thing for my iphone and can easily find sent webmail messages I composed on my iphone too. On both my iPhone and iMac, I have opted to use Mail's Sent Mail folder and not the webmail's sent folders. I have checked, and all sent messages are displayed in Mail's Sent Mailbox option. This is not a gmail account, it is a webmail service provided by my hosting company, Inmotion Hosting. The only issue is that sent mail does not seem to be synching across device. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hello Arthur. I am sorry in the I probably wasn't too clear. Actually no, the MBP was not restored. These mailboxes, or accounts, were added. I was to start using my own site rather than yahoo, gmail etc. So I made up several accounts as I can have unlimited mailboxes on my site. I decided to have boxes that classified who the mail is coming from so when a family member writed to me they use an address [email protected] When a friend writed the are told my email address is [email protected] When my doctor or health insurance need to communicate with me the write to [email protected]..and on.
So I added 10 POP accounts with names following the convention I just outlined. I am trying to see if there is a way that they will automatically appear on my othr devices without having to create the same 10 mailboxes/accounts on myu iPad and iPhone. As I said, I don't remember have to create the old mailboxes on all three devises....just on the MBP.
I hope this makes it clearer.
Thanks.

How can I transfer music back from iPod to MacBook and iMac after a MacBook

My MacBook Pro (2 years old) recently suffered a harddrive failure. I had all my music on this computer and of course on my iPod 80GB. Now I have a new drive in the MacBook with no music and all the music on the iPod. How can I transfer the music back from the iPod to the MacBook? I also have an iMac and would like to doubly back up my music on this unit (in case - or rather "when" there is another drive failure). Connecting the iPod doesn't work as it just asks me to erase and resync. There HAS to be some way around this, I couldn't possibly be the only person in the world with a drive failure!

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows

Floola Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

How do I get my calendar to sync on iCloud? I changed a calendar event on my iPhone 4 and it has not changed in Entourage on my MacBook. This is supposed to be automatic, isn't it?

Entourage will not sync with iCloud, not now, probably not ever, time to change.

How do I get my calendar on my ipad to sync with my calendar on my iphone 4s?

How do I get my calendar on my ipad to sync with my calendar on my iphone 4s?

I've done all of these things, and nothing is working. I understand how the cloud is supposed to work, and I understand how to sync via itunes. For some reason, the calendar is the only thing that isn't syncing.
I have support on the phone now. We've figured out that if I make a calendar entry on icloud from my PC, it follows through on my phone and ipad. Same if I make the entry on my iphone - it follows to icloud on my PC and ipad. But when I make the entry on the ipad, it doesn't follow through to my iphone or icloud on my PC.
I've had a tech walking me through all of this for about a half hour now. Can't figure it out. He's checking with his senior tech, has me on hold right now. It's looking like I may have to make a trip to my nearest Apple store, 45 minutes away.

Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

How do I get my calendar and contacts data to sync to computer?

After instal of Maverick, iPhone data syncs to iCloud, but not to computer. How do I get my calendar and contacts data to sync to computer?

Sounds like your Mac is not logged into the same iCloud account that your phone is. When Mavericks is installed it prompts you for an AppleID during setup.
Unfortunately and confusingly it then uses that AppleID to help you set up the Apple Store, iCloud, and Messages even though many users do not use the same AppleID for all of those services. This is particularly true of familys that share one AppleID for the "Store" but use separate AppleID's for each users iCloud data.
Therefore, put your iPhone next to your Mac and go to "Settings" > "iCloud". Make sure that the iCloud account listed on your iPhone is the same as the one listed when you go to "System Preferences" > "iCloud" on your Mac. If they match (or not) then click "sign out" on your Mac to disconnect the account. Then, on the Mac (still in the iCloud preference pane), log (back) into the same iCloud account being used on your iPhone and enable the same set of services that are enabled on your iPhone (particularly calendar and contacts).
Then, open the Contacts application on the mac and iCal on the Mac and walk away for a few minutes to allow the data to sync. You may then want to create a test calendar event and change a contact to see if they sync up.
One additional thought is to make sure that your iPhone is set to "Push" for iCloud. That will assure that it's syncing immediately while you are testing this.
Hope this helps.

How do i get my calendar, which is on my ipad, onto my iphone? I lost my calendar after the upgrade today.

How do I get my calendar, which is on my ipad, onto my iphone? I lost my iphone calendar after the upgrade this morning.

I have iCloud set on my iphone, ipad and mac. But, for some reason, my mac has no calendar and now neither does my iphone. Fortunately my ipad has my calendar - but I must get that back on my iphone. I haven't synced by ipad to anything manually - but I assume icloud should have everything. When I added an appt on my iphone calendar - it immediately duplicated on my ipad.
