IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
Please help!!

Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
Does this help?

IPhone 5 calendar not syncing with iCloud

When I look for Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar I do not have a "Default Calendar" option.
I have also noticed the iPhone calendar only has one of my four calendars on my iCloud account and will not let me add the others.
It is not even receiving pushed alerts as it did a few months ago.
Having no problems with iPad -- just iPhone 5.

Hello, John!
I see that you are not having and issue with the syncing between your computer and iCloud. So we would need to look into the device settings to make sure all settings mirror what is set in the iCloud Control Panel. I have included a couple articles that will assist you in troubleshooting your iPhone 5. See the sections in the articles below referring to your iOS devices.

IPhone Contacts won't sync with iCloud

Hi!
I have my Macbook Pro and iPhone 4S synced with iCloud, so everything I do in one device shows up in the other.
About 2 days ago I noticed my iPhone contacts were not syncing with iCloud. Calendars, Notes, etc. is syncing and the Macbook Pro is syncing as well. Only iPhone contacts are not (both ways).
Any ideas are welcome!! Thank you!!!

Iphone not syncing with MobileMe

Today, I noticed that my iphone (3G latest firmware) is no longer syncing contacts, calendars, bookmarks etc with MobileMe. I have tried everything, including hard reset of iphone, deleting and re-adding my mail, contact account in the iPhone settings. I've checked both my computers and they are both syncing OK to mobileme, and in find my iphone it shows my iphone is online and can find it...
I have for the time being had to revert to manual syncing on iTunes of my contacts, calendars etc.
I've exhausted all idea's for what the problem is or how to fix it, anyone out there got any idea's?

I too had issues with MM and my iPhone syncing.
MM won't sync/push to iCal / Address Book apps and won't sync to my iPhone 4 as well.
I don't know if this might help you guys but this is what I did and everything is peachy again.
1. Backup your iCal & Address Book (IMPORTANT)
2. Go to Settings > MobileMe > Sync (tab) > Advanced > select your computer and click on Stop Syncing Computer.
3. In Settings, proceed to Sharing > Change your computer Name to something else.
4. Restart your Mac.
5. Plug your iPhone to the dock.
6. In iTunes, do a restore to the latest firmware and have it set to its default factory settings.
7. Restore your phone. (I chose a backup a couple days ago from the drop down menu, when things were still working)
8. After the restore is done, on your iPhone, proceed to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > DELETE your MobileMe account and ENSURE that you delete off all its data.
9. Once done. On your Mac, proceed to Settings > MobileMe. Now sync your Mac with MobileMe. Choose to either Merge, Your Mac supersede MM or the other way around.
10. After that is done. On your iPhone, re-create your MobileMe account and select the services your want to sync.
It solved my problem. Hope it'll solve yours.
Its about 410a.m here and my apologies for any typos.

Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g

Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g.
Solution
Create backup of your entire mailbox before starting (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
Create offline folder (.pst file) Check windows help on how to do this for your version.
Open folders view on Outlook
Right click on Calendar in tree view and 'copy to' offline .pst folder
Go back to main calendar view and delete all entries in your calendar.
Create simple cal entry and sync test with iphone
If this works then start dragging cal entries back from the offline folder into the main calendar then sync after each step....
I moved events in this order
-Yearly recurrences (ie Birthdays)
- Monthly recurrences
- weekly recurrences
- Daily recurrences
All appointments from the beginning of this year >> to the end of time!
If all these sync then the issue is with an older cal item and you have to decide if you actually need these in you current calendar.
I chose to leave these in the offline cal and if i need access them from there.
If at any point the sync fails then you know you have a corrupt cal entry in the block you just transferred. Move the offending items back into the offline folder and try again in smaller chunks until you identify the offending items and delete them and manually recreate them in your real calendar.
Also smart to run the inbox (.pst /.ost ) repair tools for your OS/Outlook version.
Fixed so far
XP Pro / Outlook 2008
XP Pro /Outlook 2003

I just updated the firmware to iPhone 2.0.1 and the syncing works great both ways.

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?
Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
Please help !
Nick

Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
Any ideas welcome !!

IPhone 4 contacts do not sync with Mobile Me

For some reason there is a small piece of syncing that is not working. My contacts and calender events sync from my iMac to MobileMe to my iPhone perfectly. However, when I enter contacts in my iPhone they do not sync to MobileMe or the iMac. The Calender events work, but not the contacts. I have searched many other posts, but I cannot seem to find how to get thie fixed. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hey..
Hopefully this support article will help you. The problem is clearly between your iPhone and MobileMe/Mac...check the settings of your handset using this document:
MobileMe Setup - iPhone & iPod Touch
Hopefully this post has been helpful in solving the issue.
Please let me know how you get on.
Best of luck..

Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme. Why do they not sync with Icloud

Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme. Why do they not sync with Icloud

MobileMe used SyncServices, part of the System, to sync contacts. iCloud uses a different protocol and evidently Quickbooks can't work with this.

Address book not syncing with mobileme

I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15' and being new to Mac I'm stuck for sure. My mobile me account (which I have had for years) will not sync the Address book. I'm worried if I sync my iphone or ipad I will loose everything.
Please help- what am I doing wrong - all the settings seem to be right .

I wish I had an answer for you. Typically it works just fine, but I noticed today some of my contacts were not syncing with my MacMini nor my iPhone, but my iPad my web-version of MobileMe appear to be synched. I think there is a problem with the system.

Settings, Mail Contacts and Calendars, Select the Gmail account, Select "Fetch new Data, and you can try changing the interval to PUSH. If that doesn't work, change the Fetch frequency to something shorter. It sounds like you have it set to manually.

My iPhone 4 will not sync with 2012 Acura TL

My iPhone 4 will not sync with 2012 Acura TL.

Define "sync with". Does it establish a bluetooth connection for handsfree use? Are you having a problem with contacts? The iPhone supports PBAP (Phone Book Access Protocol) for accessing contacts. PBAP will pull your contact list automatically at connection time. If your system wants you to transfer your contacts, it's probably using rSAP (Rrmote SIM Access Protocol). The iPhone does not support rSAP. Most modern smartphones don't base on my understanding, but I'm not an expert on Android so I won't swear to that.
You may be able to get your system updated by the dealer.

FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79

I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
• Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
• iTunes 10
• iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
Step 1: Go to Control Panel
1. Open Control Panel
2. Click Hardware & Sound
3. Click Power Options
4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
5. Click Change advanced power settings
6. Expand USB Settings
7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
10. Click OK
Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
3. Click Properties
4. Click Device Manager
5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
7. Click Properties
8. Click Power Management
9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
10. Click OK
11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
12. Click Properties
13. Click Power Management
14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
15. Click OK
16. Restart your computer
After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
Good luck.

If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access

My iphone 5 can not sync with my itunes cloud

my iphone 5 can not sync with my itunes cloud, how can i sync my iphone 5 with my library or is it not possible please help

Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.
