No two way sync. Only iCal to BB?

Hello again,
Any simple answer for why suddenly my appointments on my Blackberry Curve
are now not syncing over to my iCal? I can get appointments from iCal to the BB,
but NOT the other way around. BB appointments will not show up in iCal.
In January of this year, I struggled for an entire weekend to get DM to work,
and with help from this Board, particularly Statman, I learned alot and was so
pleased to have successfully accomplished smooth syncing between the BB and my Mac.
Until this morning.
For the record, I haven't changed anything on my computer.
Any thoughts? Why did it stop syncing both ways?
Thanks again.

So I fixed it.
Had to go back to my initial postings when I couldn't
get DM to do anything in terms of syncing between
computer and BB and found this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
Went into iSync and reset sync history. Got some
weird error message on the DM but pressed on
and now the calendars on the BB and iCal are
exchanging appointments nicely again.
Isn't this technology so annoying at times?
Why would it suddenly do this?
Anyway, hope this helps someone else
who is struggling with syncing in this regard.

Calender two-way sync

Hi,
Do we not have two-way sync for ical? Appointments made on the iphone are not x-fered to the computer and then erased from iphone. Anybody have a different outcome??

They are transferred to iCal on your computer when you sync the iPhone - there is a setting as to which calendar unassigned appointments should be put into.
Why would you want the appointments to be deleted from your iPhone once they have been synced with your computer? I think the purpose it to have your calendar on your phone and on your computer. It doesn't take up a whole lot of space on the phone, so you shouldn't have a lot to worry about.
I really don't know how you would be able to sync the calendar without keeping the appointments on your phone. One possibility - don't categorize any appointments if you enter them onto your calendar via your iPhone. Then, when you set the sync settings, do not sync whatever calendar uncategorized appointments are placed into.

How do I set up itunes sync with outlook to "replace information on this iphone" only? I do not want to do a two way sync.

I am tired of fighting sync incompatibilities between Outlook 2007 and I Tunes, and no longer want to do a two-way sync.
I still want my Outlook contacts and calendar on my iPhone and use advanced setup in iTunes to "replace information on this iPhone" only.
iTunes only offers the ability to do this on "the next sync only". Is there a way to set up iTunes to "replace information on this iPhone" every time I connect my phone?

Hi there Greg,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to always replace content on your iPhone 5S with content from Outlook on your PC, to do this you’ll just have to Reset the Sync History in iTunes as shown below.
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 - Apple Support
To reset sync history:
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Reset Sync History button.
If the issue continues and you know all of the data is on the computer:
Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
Click Apply.
Cheers,

ICal two way sync by CALDEV?

Hi I've set my google account up to sync with my iCal but I can't see that it is syncing with google calendar, but google calendar is syncing with it. If that makes sense. It's really important that I get the two way sync so I can get my calendar on my phone!
Help!!!!!

Hi,
In iCal's Preferences, Accounts tab, when you select the account. What does it say for the 'Refresh calendars:' option?
Best wishes

TWO WAY Sync is grayed out. Cannot two way synchronize BB.

Outlook. BB.
When attempting to Configure Synchronization Settings for ASC II importer/exporter, the only options given are ONE WAY Synchronization either to or from the device. The one I want to pick:
TWO WAY Sync is grayed out.
How can I ungray the two way sync to be able to sync my outlook/tasks/address/tasks.
I will synchronization with a USB port, not through a wireless connection.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, When using software Desktop manager to do a backup and/or restore, I have to disable the wireless syncrhonisation in the blackberry first to enable the 2 ways sync. Usualy, you can not use wireless and usb cable sync., so as an example, let`s say you want to sync the adress book. go into your blackberry and into your adress book application and press the "application" button, go into "Options" and change Wireless synchronisation to "No"
After that you should see the 2 ways sync.
When completed, do not forget to put back the wireless synchronisation to "Yes" to enable it back.
hope that helps.

HT1386 Is there any way to do a two way sync between iphone contacts & outlook on a pc?

I have contacts on my iphone which i keep updated. However, i need these changes to be applicable on outlook as well. I prefer updating contacts on outlook when i have to do it on large scale. I have over 1000 contacts in my iphone. Is there any way by which i can do a two way sync between iphone and outlook on a pc.

Take a look at this article:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

Two Way Syncing - Iphone & Laptop

I am trying to set up a two way sync of my contacts between my Laptop (Microsoft Outllok 2010) and my IPhone 5.
I have very few contacts on my laptop but a lot on my phone
I have got the sync working one way from my laptop to the phone but cannot get it working both ways
How do i do this?

Success! I think I have gotten to the bottom of this now. With the latest version of Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin you can indeed populate both the sets and groups.
The link provided by Victoria to Jeffrey's blog allows you only to populate the "photostream" collection in the publish services of Lightroom.
However further down in the settings of the jf Flickr plugin there is a part entitled:
"Sync set/group membership for photos already part of this publish service".
It gives a warning about this being beta and undocumented, so to backup catalog before trying.
I did this and synced nearly 7000 photos in Flickr in a lot of sets that it automatically added and located the vast majority of them in my Lightroom library, which contains about 45,000 images. It all took maybe half an hour to run, so it was slow (even with a fast internet connection) but worked! I am a happy camper!
A bonus that I was not looking for but discovered is that this plugin will also sync with Flickr groups.
The version I used is http://regex.info/LightroomPlugins2/releases/flickr-20130324.298.zip
Thanks Victoria and Paige for all of your help

IPod Touch "Two-Way Sync"

I am pleased to report that I just returned from a month-long trip throughout Europe and my iPod touch worked like a charm. I bought it prior to departing to use it for mobile internet access as I new I would find WiFi-enabled places everywhere. It enabled me to stay in contact with with friends and family via .Mac e-mail, book guest-houses on-line, share photos with travel companions, not to mention having access to music on the long train rides. In short, a great digital travel tool.
But here is the question:
I came home and found that while the e-mails that were sent to me (and read on the road on my iPod) were available to read on my MacBook, I was not able to find the e-mails in my Desktops's Send Box that I originally sent from my iPod Touch. I am not sure if I need to set this "two-way" sync up via the iPod touch when I hook it up to my computer via iTunes or is it something I need to arrange on my computer via Systems Preferences?
Thanks kindly in advance,
john

Hi John,
Nope. Messages sent from my iPod Touch do not appear in the Sent folder either on the desktop or the .mac web mail. I am wondering, how do you have System Preferences- .Mac under Sync set up? I just noticed that "Synchronize with .Mac" for me is set on Manually. Perhaps you have it on Automatic? Also, on the iPod itself, I now find that there is a section to set up Sent Messages to be placed in Sent messages on the Server. And you didn't have to do any of this? Seems the Sync was set up for you more readily. Let's see if these adjustments do it for me too.

Two-way or only one-way syncing between G4 and mobile??

I have a Sony Ericcsson k750i mobile. When I first got it, I went through my Address Book (on my powerbook) and sorted it all out and synced with the phone (so all the numbers in the Address Book transfered to the phone). No problem. But now, if I sync, with isync, any numbers / names I have saved in the phonebook of the phone (say, I meet someone new when I'm out and take their number, put it directly in my phone) are erased. The sync, therefore, is ONE WAY, from the powerbook to the phone. Any new entries on the phone are scrapped.
Is there a way to avoid this happening? I looked in isync but I don't find. It's a pretty stupid system if you can't have a two-way street when you're syncing.
Any ideas much appreciated

How? Does isync say something like, "There are contacts / numbers on your phone which are not in your Address Book. Do you want to copy them there?" to which you would reply Yes?
How do you do it?

ICal two-way syncing snafu

Since updating to 10.4.7 I have lost 2-way iCal syncing with my Zire 21. What I enter in iCal does not appear on the Zire, but the reverse works (anything entered in the Palm calendar syncs to iCal). I have had a functional set-up for years. Occasional glitches have required Hot Sync application support conduit folders permission resets (which did not help today). In iSync the Zire appears & calendars is checked - I did notice that the "Turn on [user] synchronization" is checked but greayed out (if that's any clue).
Any help/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I have solved my own problem by trashing iCal, iSync & Palm preferences & rebooting.

Desktop Software for MAC allows only two way sync

hi...
I want help with the Blackberry desktop software for MAc. I am able to synce my phone, however there is no way in which I can do a one-way sync - replacing all the data on the mac with the data of the phone...
please let me kniw if there is any way of doing that
thanks

Isn't it simply because of the known problem with iCloud sync enabled?
This operation makes the address book and calendar(s) invisible to BBDM as the data files are "removed" from the Mac and put "in the cloud"...
Several posts are documenting the problem and suggest some alternatives or work around (by disabling iCloud).
Look on the forum for additional details.
Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

Two-way syncing of Lightroom with Flickr?

I've been using Lightroom with Flickr for a long time. Some degree of two-way synchronization between the Flickr plugin (the Adobe one that comes with Lightroom) and Lightroom is possible. For instance coomments are downloaded to Flickr. However there are some strong limitations on this plugin:
(1) Problems arise if you have a lot of Flickr photo sets then you may not want to keep all of them listed in Lightroom but you may want to update them after you post them to Flickr. For instance if you discover an error in a name or want to retouch a photo. This is especially the case if you move to a new computer or do a major upgrade and lose the photo sets listed in the plug in.
(2) If you import photos from another library where you have set up a Flickr album then that album does not get imported to Lightroom in the Flickr publish module. The connection to Flckr is lost!
I'm in no way suggesting using Flickr as a backup but it would be useful to be able to link to existing albums in Lightroom and to locate existing files in the current library or list them as missing so that republishing is then possible. If anybody knows a way of doing this then please reply.
Currently I'm using Lightroom 4.3 on a Windows 7 PC.
Thanks
Marcel

Two way sync

I just got an iphone 5, i successfully sync'ed my address book from my Mac book pro but when i am on the road adding numbers, contacts or just updating contact info to the iphone they do not get updated on my mac book when i get home... what to i need to do to get both apple products to perform a 2 way sync ?
Thanks for the help

Hi Yakman,
As long as you are running iTunes 11, you should be able to set up OTA syncing with your iPhone 5. You have to hook you iPhone up to your computer initially to set it up, but once set up, you can sync whenever you like via Settings>General>iTunes Wifi Sync.
Just make sure you have checked all of your settings for the Device sync in iTunes, then set it up to do a Wifi Sync (you do this in iTunes under the Device when it is hooked up to the computer).
Here is a link to a support article with instructions on how to set up the Wifi sync:

Cheers in advanced.

I've been using NuevaSync's system they've designed for Google Cal / iPhone Calendar syncing. I've been using it for two days now and, so far, find it to be very stable. I do share Google Calendars with others and NuevaSync does include these shared calendar entries on the iPhone's calendar. However, these calendar entries and my entries are all the same color, which makes the calendar a bit difficult to read (have to focus on determining your entries from the shared entries). NuevaSync does understand this to be a huge issue and have said they plan to release an update to correct this in two weeks.
The syncing is done using iPhone's onboard Microsoft Exchange support. NuevaSync gives very good instructions on how to configure Microsoft Exchange on the iPhone. I find the syncing between Google Cal and the iPhone to work quite well.
Now if only the iPhone calendar had a useful alert system, complete with the ability to snooze alerts and make them repeat in the event you don't hear an alert the first time. Iambic Agendus for Palm OS was the best calendar program ever. Used it for years until I finally decided to let the Treo go for an iPhone. So far I like the iPhone but really wish iPhone had a much more versatile calendar.

No Two Way Sync For Notes?

3Gs, latest iTunes and I got a sync message as to a conflict between Mail and the iPhone. One note did indeed have different text than the other but I wanted to keep both...no option and the tool doesn't merge the records. Is this normal? Do the notes only sync one-way and/or can the sync feature not merge two notes that started similarly?

The first line of a note seems to be treated as a file name. You can have multiple notes with the same first line on the iPhone, and it will treat them as separate notes, but telling which is which in the list of notes is difficult. iTunes will sync notes both ways with Mail, but if Mail and the iPhone each have a note with the same first line, but different otherwise, I can see where it might not know what to do. Should it treat them as one note that has been modified, and update the older note, or as two different notes, and copy each to the other device, so you have two notes on each? To be safe, use different first lines.

No two way sync. Only iCal to BB?
