Who else cannot sync ical with iphone?

i sync with itunes- but i cannot get it to sync the calendars. it just keeps 'syncing'. i love this phone a lot, but really...
has anyone not had this problem?
has anyone gotten around this problem?

Ok, mine works now. I went in to my home folder then to library and trashed the iCal folder inside the Application Support folder (this will delete your calendar so you might want to export it-I think you can do this). Then I went to Disk First Aid and restored the system preferences. Then I logged out, logged back in and then imported my old calendar to iCal and then synced. It worked! I think there was something wrong with the old calendar file. Good luck!

  • Cannot Sync iCal with iPhone (2.0.1) and iTunes (7.7.1)

    I tried to sync with iTunes this morning and I noticed that none of my calendar items were being synced. I did an search of the forums and found some old solutions. I tried them but none of them worked for me. Here's what I've tried:
    1. Logging in to a different iTunes account
    2. Resetting the history on iSync
    3. in iTunes, going to Info>Advanced and replacing all the info on the iPhone
    4. Full restore of the iPhone
    5. Verifying that all the items are checked in the Info panel (calendar, address book, etc.)
    I get this message when I try to sync: "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone [my phone's name] because a sync session could not be started."
    Again, I've tried all the possible solutions. I cannot remember the last time I synced. It may have been before iTunes updated.
    I do not use MobileMe. Any ideas?

    I followed the procedure for iSync in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7477550&#7477550
    Here is the procedure:
    Move the SyncServices folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices to the desktop
    Trash all the caches in ~/Library/Caches
    Restart machine (with fingers crossed)

  • ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion

    iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?

    I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
    Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
    Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

  • When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas?

    When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas? It has always worked in the past...

    On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
    Follow these steps to force an app to close:
    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice. 
    Tap and hold on the app. 
    When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it one by one until all cleared
    Now do a Soft reset of your iPhone:
    Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, connect to sync and see if this resolves the issue.

  • Still not resolved: cannot sync iCal with either my iPhone or Nokia E71

    I have tried everything that has been suggested in these posts, but neither the iPhone NOR the Nokia E71 want to sync with my iCal calendars (I have 4 set up in one iCal application). Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? It used to work fine, but not is suggesting that the iCal calendar is not "writable".

    I have just discovered something else on this issue (which still persists)..when I set up an appointment in the Nokia, it does find calendars to sync with but in Entourage instead of in my iCal? Does this help solve the problem that I have been having syncing iCal with Nokia/iPhone?? Anyone???

  • Cannot sync Calendar with iphone 3g/itunes

    Not sure what happened but I cannot sync calendar with itunes.
    Everything else works fine with syncing with Outlook 2007 through iTunes.
    What specifically happens is everything will sync and when it gets to "syncing with calendar" the syncing process hangs, never completes.
    Any help?

    Try resetting the sync history. iTunes > Edit menu > Preferences > Devices tab, click the button. Then try syncing again.

  • Cannot sync ical from iphone to my mac pro

    Hi All
    I have tried all sorts and although I ticked the relevant boxes on itunes, I cannot transfer (sync) ical info from iphone to my mac.
    I have no info on my mac i cal, everything else like contacts seem to sync no problem!
    I have tried using isync instead of itunes as some folk recommended but without any success.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks for your help

    Before syncing calendar events with an empty supported calendar app on your computer, you need to enter one calendar event in the supported calendar app on your computer - in this case in iCal on your Mac. Make this calendar event up if needed, which can be deleted later.
    If there are any calendar events available on your iPhone, this should provide a merge prompt with this first sync for this data, which you want to select.

    iSync can't be used to sync anything with an iPhone. iSync can be used to reset the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences.

  • New iTunes: cannot sync calendar with iPhone

  • Unable to sync iCal with iphone 4S

    What a mess!!
    I had Mobile me. It worked great. When it was shut down I tried to migrate to iCloud but it didn't work, I guess because I am running Snow Leopard. So I tried to just use iCloud to sync and it didn't work well, I ended up with multiple entries, missing entries, etc. So I scrapped that and went to syncing through itunes. When I upgraded my iphone 3GS to a 4S any old calendars on my mac that were part of mobile me wouldn't sync to the new phone, and I want all my past events there too. So I manually moved all the mobile me calendars in iCal to calendars I created on my mac. I deleted the old, then I redid the colors so that everything would make sense. Certain calendars synced, certain ones didn't, and the issue was not only mac to phone but phone to mac as well. So I manually made sure everything was on my mac and then hit the replace content on this iphone button thinking that it would just put everything back on my phone and now nothing is on my phone! It erased all my entries on my phone. It's all on my computer but nothing will sync to my iphone calendar. This is not what I expect from Apple. I have been a faithful apple user since before OSX, the first ipod, before the imac, and this is a huge problem and one of the main reasons I came to apple to begin with.
    Can someone help me!! I need these two to sync for work purposes!

    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
    Press Return.

  • Itunes on second computer cannot sync music with iphone

    My primary computer for syncing my iphone is a imac and my secondary computer is a laptop running windows with itunes on it. When i set up iphone to sync with the laptop the music would not sync. The itunes version on the laptop can download purhcased songs. So i purchased new music through itunes on the laptop and now cannot sync that to the iphone without erasing all the other music on the iphone. Does anyone know how i can sync the purchased music on the laptop itunes with the iphone?
    Grateful for any advice. I am not a satisfied user of apple itunes and iphone. I purchase music on itunes as I believe in paying for copyrighted music. Then when i own it apple software does not allow me to use it easily. Not really fair.

    I also could not even manually drag and drop files onto my iPhone from my second computer. I have a video iPod, Shuffle and now iPhone. I drop songs onto both my shuffle and video iPod from THREE different computers (work, home and laptop). Are you telling me for some wacky reason we now cannot use more than one computer to drop files onto the iPhone?
    I love my iPhone but that *****!!! You hear that Apple, it *****!!!!

  • Cannot sync photos with iPhone 4

    All my recent pictures do not show up in iTunes 10.3.1 when I try to sync them with my iPhone 4. I can import them from my iPhone 4 to iPhoto 9.1.3 without any problems but the latest events that show up in iTunes are from May 2011. All the pictures taken in June 2011 do not show up.
    Here is what I have tried:
    Repaired the iPhoto Library Database
    Examined and repaired iPhoto Library file permissions
    Repaired Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
    Is there any log file for iTunes that I can delete that might be damaged?
    Any ideas?

  • Cannot sync iCal and iPhone in Leopard

    Hello,
    iCal will not sync to my iPhone since upgrading to Leopard. I've restarted both iPhone and Mac repeatedly, but that hasn't helped. I've tried changing iPhone iCal sync settings but nothing works. All other information is synced, just not iCal.

    Thanks so much for the advice.
    Unfortunately, the problem persists. Syncing of iCal has been completely unstable ever since purchasing my iPhone both before Leopard and after. I just updated to 10.5.1 and the issue remains.
    I have just deleted unwanted calendars - no improvement. I have reset the iPhone - no change. I have reset my iSync history - no effect.
    This is a true case of Apple simply "just not working" instead of "just working". I've been a user since 1991 and an avid fan. Apple simply isn't the same company it used to be. I have a hard time advocating when something this basic to the PDA functionality consistently fails.
    Thanks again for your help.
