Appointments made on iPhone aren't syncing to iCal on my computer

I am having trouble with appointments I make in my iCal on my iPhone not syncing and showing up in the iCal on my computer.

I am having the same problem! When I sync my iPad and my iPhone to my MacBook none of my appontments made in either show up in iCal on my computer. This only started happening in the past month or so.
I don't (and never have) used MobileMe. I think it is an iCloud issue because my MacBook is almost 4 years old and doesn't support a lot of the new stuff, including iCloud.
When my iPhone is plugged into iTunes, under "info" I made sure "Sync iCal calendars" was checked. When checking the box, I get the following message: Your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks are being synced with iCloud over the air, so it isn’t necessary to sync these items using iTunes. iCloud sync can be configured using your device's “Mail, Contacts & Calendars” settings.
Although this isn't really true since my computer doesn't support iCloud.
Has anyone found out how to go back to the old way that actually works?

HT1414 appointments made on iphone are not syncing to the gmail calendar on my pc

When I put appointments on my Iphone, they do not sync to my calendar in gmail. This was not a problem, until my gmail was hacked, and I had to change my password. I changed the password on my phone also, but it seems this problem arose after this occurred. I have rebooted the phone, tried deleting the account and reinstalling, updating my software.............and it still is a problem. Any ideas?

I had the same problem you're having. I recently changed my password on my Apple account and likely messed up my iCloud from syncing. In exploring my Calendar on my Mac I seemed to have solved this problem. I opened File and clicked on New Calendar. This gives you more options, such as iCloud, on my Mac, or Gmail. I chose iCloud and my calendar synced immediately. I now have an extra calendar on my Calendar, but it's working.

Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
related problem?
thank
Hein

I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
Below that is:
"From My Mac.
"All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
Hope this helps you.

IPhone calendar not syncing to iCal or MobileMe

Using Lion and the latest software version on my iPhone: syncing iCal to MobileMe works in either direction. However, when a calendar event is typed on my iPhone it does not sync to anything on my iMac. Does anyone know of a solution?

FOUND THE ISSUE.
Check to see if your Gmail (or mail) is connected to your calendar. If it is, turn it off.
When using Siri, she was scheduling to my Gmail Calendar (which is also where the rest of my meetings were scheduled) That calendar would not sync with iCal on my computer.
So, on your iphone go to Settings>Mail, Contact, Calendars
Look under ACCOUNTS. There should be an iCloud account and your Mail account (Gmail, Yahoo etc)
Click on the mail account and look at the calendars. If they are ON, click them OFF.
Now if you go back to iCal on your phone, you will only see iCloud calendars listed under Calendars. So from now on, when you make a meeting with Siri, she will schedule it and it will appear moments later in iCal on your Computer.
FINALLY!

HT3951 Will all info be wiped from my iPhone if I sync it with a new computer?

Will all info be wiped from my iPhone if I sync it with a new computer?

Yes, the dialog box that will appear gives you several options, one of which is "erase and sync". It will do what it says, in that order. If the iTunes Library on the new computer is empty, after you sync your iPhone it will also be empty.
The way to transfer your iTunes Library and everything on it is from the old computer to the new computer. Read about it here:

Outlook 2010 appointments made on iPhone 4s not showing on monthly view

Hello,
When I sync Outlook 2010 64-bit with the iPhone 4s, I am having a strange issue. Appointments made on the iPhone show up in Outlook's calender on the daily and weekly view, but not on the monthly view. Also, the little calender in Outlook usually show Bold dates on days that I have an appointment however with this little quirk, appointments made on the iphone and synced with Outlook do not cause the dates to be bold. Somehow, appointments created on the iPhone and synced with Outlook 2010 show up on the daily and weekly view and are missing on the monthly view....HELP!!
Thanks,
BurningErn

I believe there are other issues going on as well. My music on my iphone 4s is still on the iphone and we are talking 20-30 gb's of music. Itunes however does not recognize that it is on the phone. Other programs are having the same issue so i'm guessing something is up with 6.1
You may also try transferring purchases from your phone by clicking on File Menu Devices Transfer Purchases.

Appointments made in Outlook on PC go to iPhone Calendar, but appointments made on iPhone do not go to Outlook on PC.

When I make appointments on my laptop, they go to my iPhone calendar--no problem. When I make appointments on my iPhone, they do not go to Outlook on the PC. The sync has worked properly in the past, but then it stopped. Your help would be much appreciated.

Calendar entries made on Iphone do not sync to Icloud

Why do my appointment entries made in Icloud calendar sync to phone but, appointment entries made on phone do not sync to I coud calendar.

Hello, benji0023.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you may have another over the air account similar to iCloud enabled on your device. Most mail hosts, like Gmail and Yahoo, offer a similar feature to iCloud. You can check to see if one is enabled by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and go through each mail account on the device for the calendar setting set to on. If you turn off these features you may remove some calendar entries as it sounds like they may be set to default. You can also change the default calendar under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars to iCloud.

Fix in 6 steps: iPhone does not sync to iCal

like a ton of folks, the iCal app on my Macbook stopped syncing w/ my iPhone. i found a solution through Gmail. (if you don't have Gmail, sign up and enable Google sync with your iPhone. you may be able to do this through your iPhone settings; if not, you can get the app: http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/).
1) Sync your Gmail / Google calendar with your iPhone
2) Log in to Gmail on your computer, click on the "calendar" link up above the Gmail logo in the upper left. You should see all your events in there.
3) In the left margin, under "My calendars", click the "settings" link
4) About half way down the Settings page, click the "export calendars" link (it's to the R of the "create new calendars" button). Your calendar should download in a zip file to your laptop "[email protected]".
5) Unzip the file
6) Open iCal on your computer, go to "File" menu > "Import..." > "iCal file", and import the Google calendar file
That did it for me. Hope it works for you!!

I spoke with technical support at Apple last night and they walked me through a solution to my iphone to ical sync issue -- the only problem is that I had to enter all the events I wanted to keep since my last successful sync (which was before I updated to ios 4) into ical manually. If you are ready to do this then the steps below may work for you:
1. You are going to be pushing your calendar from ical onto your iphone so you will lose any events that are currently on your iphone but not on ical -- you will need to update ical manually to ensure you don't lose anything important.
2. Scroll down in the info tab in itunes to the Advanced options at the bottom -- where it says replace the information on my iphone and select calendar.
3. Sync, check that your iphone calendar matches your ical calendar
4. Add a new test event to the iphone (the selection you made in advanced should have automatically deselected after you sync'd but check just to make sure)
5. Sync again -- check if your test event was transferred -- i hope you have success!

IPhone does not sync to iCal

I am running version 4.0. Since the upgrade my iPhone does not sync events back to iCal on my Macbook Pro. It does sync the other way--iCal to iPhone, but I need it to do both. I have looked in all the easy places for an answer. I must be missing something. What can I do.

Calendar events on iphone won't sync to ical on Mac since iphone 7.0.2 upgrade

Help! Some events - but not every one - entered into new Iphone SW 7.0.2 do not sync back to the Calendar (v 4.0.4 from ILife 2009). I have tried rebooting my systems (computer and phone), as well as re-creating the problem by adding new test events, and I get the same result: calendar additions nor deletions entered from the Iphone do not sync to the computer. I do not have this problem with Iphoto or other apps in 7.0.2.

update to my original post: after searching since for the past 10 days - I did want to pass along to others with an iphone calendar sync problem the following resource:
Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
This is the preferred solution for problems with sync with calendar and other apps between iphone and MaciOS. This did solve the problem which developed that no items from iCal were copying to Iphone, such as new calendars I would add, but the original problem has not been fixed by this reset.

With Update 1.1.3 iPhone no longer syncs with iCal

I run Leopard on a MacBook Pro. After upgrading my iPhone to 1.1.3, iCal and the calendar on iPhone no longer syncs, at all. I brought this to the NYC Soho Apple Store, but the genius couldn't figure it out. Only the two default calendars "Home" and "Work" synced, although not every time. Help! What should I do now? Enter events twice? Once in the iPhone, since that's what I take with me, and once on iCal, since when restoring iPhone settings that's what's used? Many thanks!

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is -- first you said it doesn't sync at all, and then you said that your Home and Work calendars sync intermittently.
Personally, I would do several things:
1) Make sure you are not using Entourage -- and if you are, make sure all Sync functions are unchecked in preferences so that nothing is using Mac's sync services and copying back and forth.
2) Print out your calendars (use month view) for the entire year so that you have a backup.
3) Do you need to have separate calendars? I find it ridiculous personally to have work and home and entourage calendars, and combine them into one. It's all my calendar information anyway, and it goes with me everywhere, why would I want more than one calendar....anyway....not to get off on a tangent...
If you can do without two calendars, combine them all into one (you export one of them, then import it back into the other one, then delete the one your exported and imported. You can do a search for the help topic on how to combine calendars.
Rename the one combined calendar your name, rather than home or work. Sync your iPhone. On the Info tab, make sure that you have the calendar name selected (it will recognize the new name of your calendar. Also make sure you have the sync to: Your Name calendar selected.
4) If that does not work, I would totally delete all of my calendars from iCal - and sync (to erase all the calendar information from your iPhone).
5) Create a new calendar, and manually re-enter all your calendar information. Sync new information to your iPhone.
In reality -- I have no idea why you are having problems -- I also have 1.1.3 on my iPhone, and I also sync with iCal. I haven't had any problems -- but then I only have the one calendar.

IPhone will not sync with iCal

I'm having problems whereby events created on my iPhone is not syncing with my iCal. (Entry does not show up on iCal after sync)

archonium,
did you check the sync iCal option in the iTunes (iPhone) sync tab?
If you did and that doesn't work. Try this....
1) Open Disk Utilities on your mac and run 'Repair Disk Permissions' on your hard drive
2) Restart your mac.
3) try again. If it still doesn't work, try resettin the iPhone. Try again.
4) If the above doesn't work. Try RESTORING your iPhone via iTunes. That may work.
hope one of these work
good luck!

Can my iPhone 4 be synced to more than one computer?

I don't have access to the original computer that my iPhone 4 was synced too. I have a new iPhone 4s due to a contract upgrade, and want to transfer the information from my old phone to my new. However, when my boyfriend has tried to synch it with his computer, by choosing the backing up option in iTunes nothing actually happens. I really don't want to lose the information on my old phone. What can I do please?

The short answer is no. You can't sync to more than one computer at a time.
The longer answer is contained in one of the many many threads about this exact same subject that are already posted in these forums.

Iphone does not sync with Ical

When I add an item in Ical it always appears on my Iphone after a sync. However, if I add a calendar item on my Iphone and then sync it never appears in Ical. I have looked at the settings 100 times and no matter what I do I cannot get this to work properly.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

If resetting sync history doesn't work for you (it didn't for me), you can try the following. This solution, although lousy, seemed to work. Make sure you have auto-sync selected from iTunes. Reboot with your iphone plugged in. When you log in, do not open any of the applications required by iTunes to sync. I got my contacts and my calendar items. Finally. Now if Apple could fix this in the next update, we'll all be set.
