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 outlook calendar and contacts without email?

    When I got my Palm Pre, it was my only phone, and I set it up to get my work Outlook email, calendar and contacts. Now I have a BlackBerry for work and I don't want Outlook email on my Pre. But when I tried to delete the Outlook email account, it killed all my contacts and calendar entries. I couldn't get them back on without doing a phone wipe and restore. So now everything is back, working fine. But I'm still inundated with work email on my Pre.
    Does anyone know whether it's possible to have Outlook contacts and calendar but not email?
    Thanks!

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • 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.

  • Centro Calendar and Contacts do not sync

    I have had a problem syncing my contacts an calendar entries for several weeks. I use a Palm Centro.  I have tested with both Desktop and Outlook 2003.  Both have the same symptoms.  I am intrigued by other users problems that have been resolved by removing an Exchange account in Versamail.  While I do not have an Exchange account that I can determine and only have one account in versamail, I'd like to eliminate any possible Versamail conflict.  Is it possible to totally disable or delete versamail to test for a versamail conflict?   I assume I can always reset up Versamail.
    More info:  I have the same problem with both Palm Desktop and Outlook 2003.  Contacts and Calender entries do not sync.  Tasks and memos sync just fine.  After scanning the many postings on this site many centro users have the same problem.  I received a replacement Centro in December and calendar and contacts have not sync'd since then.  It sounds like I have a different version of hotsync on the new centro that does not work the same.  Is that possible?  I have Hotsync 5.4.0 on my Centro and Hotsync 7.0.2 on my desktop running XP professional.
    During hotsync and in the log file there is no evidence that hotsync is attempting to sync calendar and contacts.  I receive no errors in the log file.  Calendar and contacts are both checked on the desktop version of hotsync with the option to synchronize the files.  On the Centro under conduit setup calendar and contacts are both checked.

    Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:29:40 EST 2009)>Disconnect your smartphone from its AC charger and USB sync cable. The hard reset will not work if either of these is connected.
    Remove the battery cover, take out the battery, and put it back in.
    When the Palm logo appears, press and hold Power/End until the black status bar at the bottom of the screen fills and disappears.
    The screen will go blank briefly, then you'll see an "Erase all data?" prompt.
    Release Power/End .
    Press Up to confirm the hard reset.
    When the language selection screen appears, select the same language you selected for your desktop software.
    Then you'll be prompted to tap targets and set up your device. When these steps are done, your device is ready for use.
    Let me know if you need any further clarification in the steps listed above.

    Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:44:06 EST 2009)>yes i have them. But it worked when i did a hard reset with verizon. We need to create an entry in my centro and perform a second hotsync. that is when it fails
    Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:44:38 EST 2009)>Please create a new entry in outlook in calender and then perform Hotsync.
    Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:44:44 EST 2009)>ok
    Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:45:01 EST 2009)>Before that perform soft reset and then perform Hotsync.

    Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:45:39 EST 2009)>ok.

    Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:48:55 EST 2009)>Awesome!!

    Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:49:35 EST 2009)>Well that is not needed but if it is not synching then perform Hotsync.
    Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:51:00 EST 2009)>Is the HotSync successfully completed with transfer of data?
    Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:51:08 EST 2009)>Please ignore that error message.
    Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:52:06 EST 2009)>Yes the hot sync synced the second new entry into outlook

    Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:52:43 EST 2009)>Yes it will just gives that error message.

  • I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?

    I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?

    I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
    If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
    Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck!

    That's where you're going wrong. Firstly the syncing method that MobileMe used, which places the icon in the menu bar, is quite different from the iCloud method and is irrelevant. Secondly, you're confusing the Time Machine icon with it.
    On this Mac you need to set up in System Preferences>iCloud in the same way, then the syncing is automatic. In iCal on both machines you should see in the Calendar list your calendars listed unrer 'iCloud', and your calendars should be visible at http://icloud.com (and choose Calendar in the welcome screen).
    If they aren't visible online, go to http://me.com/calendar - you should not be able to see them there. If you can, you haven't migrated.

    To restore from an iCloud backup you have to erase the phone and start over.  To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  There is no other way to do this.
    Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this is likely to take some time to finish.

  • Since upgrading iPhone 4S to OIS 7 my outlook 2010 calendar and contacts will not sync.  Anyone have a solution?

    Everything was fine with Outlook 2010 on my iPhone 4S. Now with IOS 7 my calendar and contacts no longer sync. I have read so many comments online but no one has had the perfect solution. I feel as if I have tried everything. I have even reset my software and phone. Still nothing. Is this feature no longer available or are there new requirements to make it work? I am so unhappy!!!

    Hello there janis143,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like after the recent iOS update, your Outlook content is no longer syncing properly to your phone.
    I found this article named:

    I recommend the troubleshooting steps therein.
