My calendar and contacts are also appearing on daughter's iphone

Why are my contacts and calendars merging with my daughters iPhone as well as on mine? It started when iCloud came along. Not sure how to fix this sync issue. Suggestions? Thanks!

I have tried that approach.
I have tried to backup from a previous imac backup (not icloud) and still nothing.
I found my contact data files within the source folder on my mac but cannot figure out how to add them to my contact app

Need to synch calendar and contacts, but also open attachments with OWA

I have a client with a Tour 9630. They are using Exchange 2007 so we cannot use BES or BPS on that server (their only one).
His biggest gripe using the redirector was that he could not open attachments. After doing some digging, I found out that you cannot open attachments unless you are using the BIS service and connecting through OWA.
SO...fought the authentication issues since they have a self-signed certificate on their Exchange box...turned off all the authentication and woila..OWA worked like a charm.
NOW, though, his contacts and calendar no longer synch since he is just hitting the OWA mail!
Is there a way to enable opening attachments while still synching calendar and contacts?
I turned off redirector on the pc since OWA was working.
If I turn the redirector back on to keep the synch going, will he get duplicates of mail?

I've gotten this 4403 error before, and somehow resolved it without knowing how.
THIS TIME, however, I tried turning off the synch on my Documents-To-Go, and that fixed things.
Checking on other discussions on the internet regarding this "Protocol Error: Too many files. (4403)", I'm seeing a pattern of Documents-To-Go when resident apps are listed, which seems to tentatively confirm my conclusion. The obvious implication here is that one or more versions of Docs-To-Go have a conflict with something in one or more versions of the Palm OS, and/or other 3rd party apps.
I've be interested in whether this works in other users' experiences.

Calendar and contact options are greyed out

Hi all,
I wand to sync my contacts and calendar between my iPad1 and my Windows Laptop.
After installing the icloud sync software, I was only able to check "favourites and photostream" to be synced. The fields mail, calendar and contacts are greyed out and not available to select.
I have browsed through the Internet, de-installed that software piece and installed it again, not change.
Passwaords have been corrected according to the iTune needs (8characters, and so on).
I do not know what to do, any ideas?
Thanks

When you say you are trying to get a file from your local c:drive, dio you mean that you are trying to import a file into your site from elsewhere on your computer, rather than 'getting' it from your remote server. If you are trying to import a file from your local c:drive don't use the 'get' or 'put' buttons because they are just for remote connections, instead just use windows explorer to locate the file then either copy or cut and paste the file into the folder for your site.

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.

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.

Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:47:43 EST 2009)>Okay, Now perform HotSync.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:48:26 EST 2009)>do i need to do soft reset before each hotsync

Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:48:55 EST 2009)>Awesome!!
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:49:10 EST 2009)>do i need to do a soft reset everytime
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
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:52:24 EST 2009)>So i don't care about the protocol error
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:52:43 EST 2009)>Yes it will just gives that error message.
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:52:46 EST 2009)>Please ignore it.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:53:02 EST 2009)>can i go back to my original user id?
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:54:08 EST 2009)>Well I would suggest you to continue with the current user ID because the old user ID is not supporting the calender, contact conduits to sync.

Multiple Calendars and Contacts - and the real ones won't sync!

My iPhone (first generation, 4GB) has been working fine for the last 9 months but has developed a scary problem shortly after I upgraded it to 2.1 firmware.
The Calendar now shows as two separate "accounts", titled "On My iPhone" and "Untitled Account". The "On My iPhone" account has 4 different calendars (Home, Work, Untitled, and Untitled2). None of these calendars have any actual data in them, other than me putting in a couple of test appointments. The other account contains the three calendars that I've been using all along - those calendars have lots of appointments, birthdays, etc.
There's a similar situation with my Contacts. It suddenly shows two separate "Groups", called "Imports" and "Special Contacts". The "Imports" list is basically empty, and all my hundreds of contacts are listed in the "Special Contacts" group.
This is all a little puzzling, but the ugly problem is that my REAL Calendars and Contacts are not getting synced. All of my iCal and Contacts data has been wiped out on the MacBook that I use to sync my iPhone with. So, on my MacBook both my iCal and my Address Book are basically empty. (They used to have exactly the same data as my iPhone.)
Here's what I've already done to debug: My MacBook is running the latest Apple software (OS 10.5.5 and iTunes 8.0.1). I've done a "Reset All Settings" and also I've done an "Erase all Content and Settings" and then restored my iPhone from the backup on my MacBook. FORTUNATELY my Calendars and Contacts seem to have been backed up ok, even if they're not syncing. Also, just in case the problem was on my iBook, I also have tried to backup and sync to an XP laptop, also with iTunes 8.0 - no luck - backup/sync runs ok (no errors reported) but no Calendar or Contacts data is shown in Outlook.
Lastly, today, I talked to a Genius at the local Apple store - he looked at the iPhone for a few minutes, said he'd never seen anything like it, and didn't know what to do about it besides restoring the iPhone to factory condition and hand-typing in all the Contacts and Calendar data again. But really, I can't even do that - since the data won't sync, I can't even print it out!
Any ideas????

I found a posting from a few weeks ago that sounds like a very similar problem to mine:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=121467&st=0&p=859382&#entry8593 82
I still haven't found a solution. My calendar and contact items seem safe on my iPhone, but I need to be able to sync them to my MacBook.

How to replace an old version of my calendar and contacts

Hello everybody,
I have a problem. I bought a new Iphone and wanted to give my old one to my mother.
With the help of Icloud I'd installed my new Iphone with all the data and apps of my old Iphone and after that I'd removed by hand my agenda and contacts from my old Iphone. Today, after switching on my old Iphone and after that also my new Iphone, I noticed that with Icloud all the contacts and calendar items of my new Iphone had been replaced by the items of my old Iphone, which means that I've lost them.
Installing my new Iphone with an old copy of Icloud did not help. Still my empty calendar and contacts are in my Iphone.
Does anybody knows how to put an old version of my calendar and contacts back on my Iphone?? Please help!!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, what is happening is that your calendars are being restored and then over written by the latest version from iCloud. You might try the following:
    1.    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    2.    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    3.    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    4.    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    5.    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    6.    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    7.    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    8.    Delete the iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    9.    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
You need to follow a similar path for calendars and anything else from iCloud you wish to restore.

New iPad Calendar app and E-mail, Calendar and Contacts setting crashes

The Calendar app has just started to crash. I cannot open the app at all, not even after forced quit. Tried to remove the calendar in the Settings app, but noticed that the E-mail, Calendar and Contacts section also hangs. What to do? It works fine my iPhone.
Thankful for any help.
Regards
Sam

I agree this is most needed, but also for the iPhone & iPod touch devices. They should also allow changing what day is the start of the week (instead of being stuck with Sunday). iCal actually allows you to have the week view scroll by day, so you are always looking at the next 7 days, versus some dates in the past.

IPhone 3G doesn't sync calendars and contacts via mobileme

Hi.
Since the initial setup, my new iPhone 3G doesn't sync up with MobileMe.
After some trouble in the beginning MM works fine now between my Powerbook and my iMac but although my MM-settings on the iPhone are correct and set to sync calendars and contacts, it simply doesn't.
I have tried everything on the iPhone:
Push (nothing happens).
Disconnecting push, using manual or automatic (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour).
Deleting my MobileMe account on the phone, thus erasing all contacts and calendars, then retyping everything correctly (and getting no message to suggest otherwise).
ITunes too tells me, that calendars and contacts are sync'ed through MM and I can't sync iCal and Contacts using the cable either.
Also, when I open System/MobileMe/Synchronize/Advanced on either of my computers to see the list of devices connected to my MobileMe, it only shows my computers on that list - not the iPhone!
Can anyone help me with this or do I just have to wait for Apple to realize that MM doesn't work on iPhone 3 (2.2) - which kind of defeats the whole purpose of getting it in the first place?
Thanks,

This is a list of registered computers with your MM account, not a list of registered devices. Your iPhone will not be shown in the list of registered computers, because it isn't a computer.
I thought so, but wanted to mention it in case I was wrong.
Have you tried turning Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing with your MM account preferences on your iPhone followed by turning both back on?
I have tried everything I can think of, and that includes the above.
When doing this, however, the phone prompts me to accept that all calendar events and contacts on the phone are erased in order to sync new information from MobileMe.
I accept, but trouble is that no new info comes the other way, although the "spinning wheel" is running for ages.
I can again say, that the iPhone has been set up to MobileMe using the correct password and addres.
Neither Push, nor set intervals or manual sync have worked at any time.
The only way, I can put my calendar and contacts onto it is by deleting the MobileMe account on the phone and syncing via USB

Can't hotsync my calendar and contacts now

I got my Centro (Verizon) two days ago and it worked great. I received both my comcast email and my EAS email from work. I did one hotsync at home two days ago without any errors, but once I went into work and the centro started a wireless sync to our email network everything changed. My personal contacts and calendar are now on my Microsoft Outlook 2003 at work and the centro won't hotsync them to my outlook 2002 on my personal computer. I have done just about eveything I could think of. I did a hard reset, set up both my email accounts again and got a few things to hotsync to Outlook 2002 at home, but the contacts and calendars just won't. There is no error. They just aren't listed in the hotsync log on the device. I checked the conduits in the hotsync manager. Every thing is checked. I have changed settings, such as set as default, but it just wont sync them. I am at a loss, hoping that my company's IT people can help. Any suggestions? Thanks, Linda
PS. My IT person is telling me that my Centro won't hot sync via the cable now that I have used my company's EAS. So, how do I undo this?

Zane(Thu Aug 14 14:30:57 PDT 2008)>Setting up an Exchange Active Sync (EAS) account on your Smartphone lets you sync your Calendar, Contacts, and Email over the air.
Because this type of account in VersaMail performs all of its synchronization over the air, HotSync conduits for Calendar and Contacts are disabled, to avoid duplicates when you sync through your USB cable.
After you set up the EAS account, and HotSync your device twice, the calendar and Contacts conduits will be disabled; they will only update on your Smartphone through an over-the-air sync.
Zane(Thu Aug 14 14:31:35 PDT 2008)>If you’d like to switch back to synchronizing your Calendar and Contacts through the USB HotSync cable, you will not be able to use over-the-air Exchange ActiveSync.

Calendar and Contact not syncing.

I am unable to get either new calendar entries or contacts changes to sync between my iPhone 3G and my desktop by way of Mobile Me. I can see that changes made on my desktop appear in the web interface to my Mobile Me account, but they never get to my iPhone. Conversely, new contacts or calendar entries created on my iPhone don't get to Mobile Me account.
I do get email messages sent to my @me.com or *.mac.com addresses and I can send email outgoing to the account. THere must have been an initial sync of calendar and contacts because I see most of my contact info, just not new entries or changes to existing ones.
I am using a one week old iPhone 3G through AT&T, and a Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.4. with all the latest patches. I use MS Entourage on my desktop and have syncing set up between that and iCal + Address Book and then to my Mobile Me account.
AM I doing something wrong? Is there a way to sync calendar and address book data through the USB sync cable rather than over the air?

Hi
I'm not that computer literate but have managed to sync my calendar, mail and contacts - so I hope this helps...
I didn't set up a new mobile me account as I don't want another email address. I am using my dot.mac account as my email - and sync'd using my usb cable. This should open itunes if you have it (download if you don't) and then the interface in itunes will walk you through it.
My email is now automatically arriving wirelessly. My calendar and contacts are all there - but when I want to update these I think I have to sync using the USB again, unless I open a mobile me account. My calendar and contacts are not updating wirelessly.
Hope that's useful.

Re: problems syncing calendars and contacts to iPhone 4S

Hi everyone,
I am looking for answers on how to sync contacts and calendar events on an iPhone 4S ios 7.
I recently updated my iMac os x to Mavericks and I just realized that you can no longer sync contacts and calendars in iTunes. I have been reading on line for quite a while and it would appear to be a simple thing to do by just going into setting and turning on iCloud, signing in to iCloud and turning everything on for syncing but no luck.
When I log into iCloud in my browser, calendars and contacts are there as well as on my iMac but not on my iPhone.
Any suggestions or links to help me set this up would be really appreciated.

Folks I think I have found a solution to my issue. This post from Beau1k seems to have solved my problem

Microsoft 2010 exchange not updating my calendar and contacts

I use Microsoft Office 2010 (exchange server) for my email, calendar and contacts. My email on both my iPhone (4) and iPad (4) works fine. However after a software update a few months ago, my calendar no longer updated on either my iphone or ipad.
The calendar and contacts are set to the default exchange setting but neither is updating. I deleted the exchange account (on my ipad only) and then added it back...now ALL of my birthdays and reoccuring appointments that were in my calendar prior to the software update are gone. The birthdays and reoccuring stuff still shows on my iphone HOWEVER, any new appointment that I have added don't show up on either device. I was going to upgrade to the iphone 6 when it comes out but am having second thoughts since I can't get my calendar to sync with any new appointments. I never had issues prior to othe update. Any assistance would be MOST appreciated!

Hello Bev76,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like contacts and calendars on your iPad are not being synced to your iPhone 5, but the data syncs from iPhone to iPad.
If you are using iCloud for your contacts and calendars, start with the troubleshooting steps in the "iOS" or "Troubleshooting on iOS devices" sections of these articles:
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

Can I synch my Outlook for Mac 2011 calendars and contacts with my iPhone calendars and contacts?

I have Outlook for Mac 2011 and also use OSx Mountain Lion on my iMac. I want to synch my Calendar and Contacts from Outlook with my iOS devices (iPhone 5 and iPad). How can I do this so I don't have two calendars and two contacts that don't sync with each other?

if you don't have a online account that outlook is syncing the calendar with you can't sync it with anything else.
Just because you enter a appointment, or something, in the outlook calendar that does not auto sync it with other devices unless you have it setup to sync the local, on computer, calendar with a online account of some type. That could be outlook.com or office365 or google or even apple icloud. Once you setup a online account of some type to sync the local calendar with then you can sync that account calendar with orher devices.
This is what the other poster was trying to say but did not fully explain with the mention of icloud.

I have Mountain Lion (10x) not Lion. When I go to Sync Services in the Outlook preferences - there is no Calender there to link to. Is this because MS no longer supports Mountain Lion? Is there any other way to sync to iCal?

My calendar and contacts are also appearing on daughter's iphone
