Another "my contacts & calendars won't sync" guy
My iPhone was bogged down and doing some strange things so I decided I'd reset it in an attempt to refresh things. After resetting it, my contacts and calendars will not sync over the air with Mobile Me. (Mail and bookmarks are fine)
I can switch them off in Mobile Me on the phone and they'll sync fine over the cable, but of course they won't update until the next cable sync.
I've tried deleting the Mobile Me account from the phone and building it again but this did not fix anything.
I've scoured many posts in this forum and found several people suffering a similar type of problem but no one has the definitive fix.
Any more ideas?
Since you've already performed the most drastic step in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1672
10. Delete the account from your iPhone or iPod touch. From the home screen, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, and then tap your MobileMe account. Tap Delete Account. On the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen, tap Add Account > MobileMe, and set up your account again.

Contacts and Calendar won't sync with Outlook
It seems that ever since the last upgrade to iTunes (8.1.1) my contacts and calendar won't sync.
I've tried all the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 up to and including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but, nothing has worked.
Any help would be appreciated.The contacts and calendar do sync into another user account but _only some of the records_.
ZoneAlarm. And there is no difference whether it is running or not.
One odd thing:
In order to try to find which record(s) might be causing the problem I sorted my calendar on the "Date Created" field hoping to be able to go back in history and see exactly when things went wrong. Much to my surprise I found that the 13 most recent records did not sync to my iPhone. Then the next 2 did. Then the next 3 did not. Then 1 did. etc. -
My iPod Calendar won't sync with my Outlook Calendar and vice versa. Wherever I input the information is where it stays. My contacts and notes sync just fine. Please help. Very frustrated. It used to work just fine. I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2 version.
I have the same problem since I updated to iTunes 10.2 Sue (I think). For me this was somewhere in January.
I wasn't sure iTunes was the issue, until I read your post. I tested syncing a note, and that works fine.
My 2nd generation Ipod Touch runs on IOS 4.2.1. It won't upgrade to 4.3.
Possibly the synchonisation between iTunes 10.2 and IOS 4.2.1 doesn't work correctly.
Has somebody else solved this isue? I use both calendars (on iPod Touch and on PC) for work and private matters.
Otherwise I have to uninstall iTunes 10.2 and downgrade to 10.2. -
iPod touch 5th gen will only sync to iTunes using an old lightning cable that it's falling apart, will charge with another cable but it won't sync to iTunes already try reset and restore same results..I also update everything using a Mac mini and latest iTunes version and 8.1.3 iOS on iPod touch any help will be really appreciated also try different computer like a macbook pro no luck.
See if yo missed anything here:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can someone please help. All calendar events have completely disappeared from my iphone. I tried troubleshooting. Made sure that in settings, the "mail/contacts/calendars", that under "sync" it was checked off "all events". But it was like that already. Nothing seems to be working. Are my events lost now? I'm stressing. Lol. Thank you.
Check settings > iCloud > calendars. Is it on or off?

Connected to Exchange but mail, contacts, or calendar won't sync
The iphone says i'm connected to the exchange server. My IT guy says he sees the traffic coming across the firewall. He had all port opened just in case, but my mail won't send or receive and calendar contacts won't sync.
You can verify the server setup independent of the iPhone:
Try an ActiveSync OMA connection using a notebook or desktop - https://www.domain.com/OMA (where www.domain.com is path to Exchange server). The "s" is needed as a SSL connection is required.
You should receive a user login prompt (for username and password) followed by a list of Inbox messages. If you don't, there is a problem with server configuration (either path, ActiveSync, SSL certificate, or ActiveDirectory user permission). -
Exchange Calendar Won't Sync, Email & Contacts Sync Fine
I have a new 3GS and I set it up on my company Exchange server. Mail syncs fine. Contacts sync fine. My Calendar, however, won't sync to the phone at all. Not one single event. I've turned sync off and then back on, no luck. I've reset the phone, no joy. I've cleaned up all my old recurring appointments thinking maybe that would be the fix, nope. So far nothing I have tried will get the Calendar items to sync. What would allow the mail and contacts to sync just fine but prevent the calendar from working? Thanks!
I finally resolved this issue. I opened the calendar in outlook on my PC. I went to View>Current View>Categories. I expanded the list (click on the little "+" sign to expand) and then deleted EVERY entry. Some were current, but most were expired, and some went back to 2007. As soon as I deleted all of these entries, that basically wiped my Exchange calendar clean. There had to have been some corrupt entries in their that were preventing calendar sync, because once I cleared out all the entries, I sent myself a meeting request and it showed up instantly on the iPhone. All is right in the world again. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

I've had my 3GS phone for 1.5 years and have been syncing on a normal basis. As of yesterday, it won't sync with my outlook calendar.
It says "can't sync calendar cause sync server failed on your iphone."
Any Advice?Here's one guy's advice with same issue:
http://www.question-defense.com/2010/09/01/itunes-could-not-sync-calendars-to-th e-iphone-because-the-sync-server-failed
On Mac OS machines sync. errors are logged to the "Console" which appears to be the rough equal to the event logs on Windows machines, but I'm not sure that iTunes records any diagnostice information in the event logs on Windows machines... but it might be worth a look.
The easiest way to the to the event logs it to type Start --> Run --> Eventvwr -
I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro last week. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. I can't find where to delete that email login. iCloud is also showing my new email login, plus a bogus one I accidentally created trying to fix this problem. Now the calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync with my iPhone5.
It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

I did a Clean Install of Lion Yesterday and for some reason, my Contacts and Calendars are NOT syncing into my laptop.
Am I missing a setting somewhere?I forgot to mention, the ODD thing, my bookmarks DID sync into Safari.

Contact & Calendar Apps that sync without Lion & iCloud?
I love Snow Leopard and no offense Apple, but I don't see anything so compelling in Lion that I need to spend the amount I will to get applications like Adobe's Creative Suite, Filemaker, Office, etc. to work on Lion, when the versions I have work just fine now on SL.
That said, the only reason I will be upgrading to Lion is because MobileMe is going away and I MUST sync my calendars and contacts between my Mac Pro, iPhone and iPad.
It is nuts to me to have to spend $1500 to $2000 on all the other apps, just because I am about to be forced to use iCloud versus MobileMe.
So.. can anyone recommend contact/calendar syncing apps that don't require iCloud?ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do not want that either.
I chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can no longer do that.
Whoever made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by this.
I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
In the meantime - thanks for the work around -
10.1.0.4181 won't stop trying to load, and now the Calendar won't sync
Hello, my Q10 upgraded to 10.1.0.4181.
1) BB Link trying to upgrade and it's already done. I turned off the auto upgrade but that hasn't fixed it.
2) Now my local Calendar entries won't sync to Outlook. I restored from the backup taken just before the upgrade, but still no calendar entries. I don't want to put my private info on the cloud.
I've read other threads on issues with 10.1.0.4181 but haven't seen anything on how to fix my device. Any suggestions?MCGozers wrote:
