ICal syncs with iPhone from Mac but won't sync Outlook events

Hi,
I want to get all of my events from my Mac 2011 Outlook to sync through iCloud with iCal for my MacBook and iPhone. I've been able to get the events to show in iCal on my MacBook when I accept them from outlook, but they won't then sync with my iPhone unless I plug it into my computer? Is there any way to fix this? I also can't change any of the Outlook events once they're in iCal, I have to do so straight from outlook. The outlook events come in in their own calendar called "no category" that's grey. Any suggestions?

There is no such thing as a Mac or PC formatted iPhone. Follow the directions here if iTunes for Windows does not see the phone:

    Does the iPod show up in iTunes on the Mac? If not try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    also
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Otherwise what happens when you try to sync? Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. If that is the problem you should go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase and content and setting and set up the iPod on you computer/iTunes library. One content on the iPod does not belong to you.

  • Laptop crash with i tunes library. Have recently sync with my work mac but I am missing all my old songs.  Please help.   I tunes novice.

    My laptop  crashed with mine and my husbands I tunes Library.  I have sync my i phone with my work mac but I am still missing some of my songs.
    My husband was unable to do this as his i phone broke too and he has no music at all. 
    Please help.

    Apple devices are designed to sync with a single library. If you move the device to a new library iTunes will suggest wiping the device and reloading it with the contents of the library on the new computer, even if most of the content is identical. For an iOS device this process would also delete and reinstall any applications which would discard and settings or saved data associated with the apps. You probably don't want to do this.
    Ideally you would have migrate the working library from the computer previously used to manage the device (the laptop) to the computer you now want to use (the desktop) before adding other new content into the new computer's library. That way the device would have easily moved from syncing with one machine to the other.
    I'm not quite sure what the best next step is at this point. Does the desktop library sync with any other devices?

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone. I can't reset sync history in Lion anymore?

    i'm pulling my hair out! my ical just won't sync with my iphone anymore. i wanted to reset sync history as suggested in some forums but lion doesn't have isync anymore.
    it is so frustrating as it is supposed to be easy to sync apple products!
    any ideas?
    thanks again
    ian

    Thanks John, you're a star! it's back to normal, it was hours last night resetting my iphone but no luck. I reset my sync services this morning and it works!
    Why have Apple made it so difficult to do this, why hide things away? I spent ages looking for my library the other day as that was hidden! Mad!
    Much appreciated John,

  • Looking for app to store account numbers in that syncs with iphone and mac

    Hi all, I have tons of random work information, account info, logins, etc., that I would like to keep on my mac and sync to my iphone. But I would like to have them protected in some fashion.
    Anyone have any recommendations?

    I recently purchased the mSecure app for the same purpose but cannot get it to sync with the desktop version via wifi as it is supposed to do. Support response from mSecure has been good but still no luck syncing. All of these types of apps require syncing via wi-fi but not much good if it doesn't work. I've tried all of the suggested work-arounds to no avail. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm trying to sync to a Windows laptop. I'm reluctant to use the same type of apps that back up to an online storage site for security purposes.

  • Outlook no longer syncing with iPhone and Mac??

    I was formerly syncing Outlook with iPhone just fine on my Mac...now it's not working!!  I think I had to do something via iCal.  Whatever it was it's not working and need help ASAP!  (no need for iCloud and know that does not work!!!)

    I have the same problem too. My iphone is not syncing with my addressbook on the mac, no matter what I try, it is very very frustrating!!

  • HT1386 iPad just keeps looking for mac but won't sync via wifi

    Ipad is plugged in to power, mac is visible but they wont sync

    Did you follow the directions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.

  • TS3999 my icloud calendar from gmail syncs with my ipad and gmail but won't sync on icloud on my pc

    My ipad mini and my gmail contacts are syncing but if I go to icloud.com not of my calendar events are listed.  In the upper left corner it just says CALENDAR. My ipad mini is set up to sync with my gmail account and that seems to be working.  I tested entering a new event on my ipad and it synced to my gmail calendar but won't sync to icloud.com apple account.

    See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
    This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
    Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting  syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

  • I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

    I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

    I experienced this issue as well.
    Background:
    I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
    Solution (summary):
    Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
    Solution (detailed steps):
    Create a new calendar
    On your phone, open the calendar app
    Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
    Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
    Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
    Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
    Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
    Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
    Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
    Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
    Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
    Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
    Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
    From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
    Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
    Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
    Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
    If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
    Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
    Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
    Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
    At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
    Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed
    Post another message to this thread if this did not resolve your problem

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So, we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • ICal will no longer sync with macmini still syncs with iPhone, iPod and another mac...what happened?

    iCal will no longer sync with wife's mac mini.  It works with our iPhone, iPod and and older  G5 tower.  I am using an iMac.   Nothing shows up on the mobile me calendar in her office.  I have been unable to get the shared calendar to open on her machine.  All had been well until yesterday.
    Thanks for any help.

    I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

  • My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

    My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

    I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

  • I recently got the iPhone 4s, but my iPod has a lot of apps with a lot of data on them and don't want to start over. I already synced my iPhone from the computer that had all my apps from my iPod, how do i transfer the data over, the other apps did.

I already synced my iPhone from the computer that had all my apps from my iPod, how do i transfer the data over, the other apps did. But some reason the app Clash Of Clans did not. Thank you.

    If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self.    I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing
