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.

Calendars and Contacts not syncing between iPhone and Mac

Hello.
I am using a MacPro4,1 (early 2009) running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.4.
In iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Calendars Settings are set to: Sync – All Events.
In iTunes, Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi is checked.
Calendar and Contacts aren't syncing, in neither direction, neither over Wi-Fi nor by cable. (I haven't, and won't try iCloud or however that thing is called now.)
No idea why. I'd be thankful for any hint.

so there's nothing but iCloud to do this? Is there a workaround? Or do I have to use either other a different set of applications, or another set of operating system and hardware? Not syncing is no option, iCloud isn't either, changing systems is.

Calendars and contacts not syncing

I am running iTunes 11.1.4.62 on Windows 7. I sync with an iPhone 5s and an iPad mini with retina display, both running iOS7.
All worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. The first problem was when iTunes 11.1.4 installed and 'broke' iTunes. I found info here about others with the same problem and was able to successfully uninstall and reinstall and all was fine again. I was able to sync successfully after getting iTunes working again.
Yesterday I tried to sync again, for the first time in about 10 days. The sync seemed to hang on syncing calendars. Never would finish and I would have to cancel the sync. This happened on BOTH devices.
After some searching on the web I've tried a number of things: first I looked at calendar entries. I have a LOT, so followed instructions to search for bad recurring yearly events. Reset all of them. Also cleaned out a lot of old entries, deleted a lot of email to reduce the size of my Outlook pst (it had gotten over 2 gb in size.) Didn't help.
Other things I tried which did not work: Reset Sync Services, Replace calendar on device (calander got REMOVED from device, but won't go back on.), hard reset of device. I also completely unisntalled and reinstalled iTunes again. I ran the Inbox Repair tool, which did find some errors. Still hung on syncing calendars.
Finally tried renaming the SyncServices folder, as I saw recommended somewhere. That made the problem worse -- iTunes basically no longer 'saw' Outlook, although at least the sync would now complete -- it just wasn't syncing anything from Outlook.
Then I went to a computer backup from right after the last successful sync I did and copied the SyncServices folder from that backup. With that folder iTunes now 'sees' Outlook but even though I have the options to sync both contacts and calendars selected it simply doesn't do it, on either device. It backs up, syncs mail accounts, syncs apps (steps 2 through 4), then just skips steps 5 thru 7 and 'finished.'
This happens with BOTH of my devices. While it's possible there's something odd going on in my pst file, I really think the problem is somehow in iTunes.
I'm not sure what else to try. I do have copies of the backups from both devices from the last successful sync about 10 days ago that I could use to restore, but frankly I'm not sure that would fix anything.
Can someone point me to something else to try? I have a new Windows 8.1 computer coming in a day or two but obviously can't move all this to a new computer until I get it fixed!
Thanks,
Judy

HT4929 I have 2nd generation I-pod which does not meet requirements for ICloud. However, I was told that after I moved to ICloud if I connected my iPod to my Mac via the USB connection that my calendar and contacts would sync, but this didn't happen.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod and just moved to Icloud. I had been told my an Apple tech that although my contacts and calendar would not sync automatically I could connect the Ipod to my Mac via the USB port and ITunes would sync the calendar. Now I find that this is not happening. I am not happy that I will have to enter/edit calendar and contact info on two devices. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Hard to say with such sparse information. Do you have backups?

BB 8520 Curve Wireless Sync of Calendar and Contact not working

--- REPOST ---
BB Model: 8520 Curve
OS: 5.0.0.681
Network: Mobilink - Pakistan
Can any one help me out, how I can get wireless sync working on my BlackBerry.
I have two emails accounts setup 1. [email protected] and 2. [email protected] where mydomain.com email is also hosted on gmail. I receive emails on both account and able to send as well.
None of these account contact and calendar are being sync. Previously when GoogleSync app was available I was using that, since Google has discontinued this app, so I have removed the app.
In calendar on device, I can see both the calendars and Wireless Synchronization: YES, but no update in either side i.e. If I create any entry on mobile it doesn't show on web or any new entry on web, doesn't show on device.
Very Important: If I access setup on device I don't see Contacts and Calendar under syncronization, however both options are visible if I use https://mobilink.blackberry.com/ to setup/edit email.
Looking forward your expert advise to solve this issue.
Thanks
Falik

Iphone calendar and yahoo not syncing, anyone have issue

My iphone4 is not syncing with my yahoo calendar. It has been an issue for a few days. I have downloaded and installed latest software. Computers show updates, but not the phone. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I have never heard of this Yahoo Beta app which has been a Beta for nearly a year and I don't see such an app available via the iTunes app store in the U.S. but regardless, you need to contact Yahoo about this problem with their app which is still a Beta - the final version has not been released.

Calendars and Contacts not showing up in iPod

I'm trying to sync contacts and calendars to my iPod nano (the short chubby one - 3rd gen), but the information isn't appearing in the iPod.
When I enable disk use I can see that the calendar and vcard files are being created and have the right content on the iPod - but in 'Calendars', I see nothing, and I'm informed there are no contacts.
I've tried switching the vcard format between both settings in Address Book (v2.1 / v3.0); I have enabled/disabled 'transfer photos' in both Address Book and iTunes; I've tried unsyncing and resynching innumerable times, and I've reset the iPod completely several times.
I'm not using anything 'external' - no sync'ing with MobileMe, yahoo, or anything else (although I've tried yahoo); I'm just iTunes (8.02), iCal (3.0.6) and Address Book (4.1.1) on my Macbook, and the iPod.
Anyone got any ideas? I will be travelling without my laptop soon, and need my contacts and calendars with me...

Photos and contacts not syncing

I have selected photo folders checked for syncing, and "sync contacts with windows contacts" checked, but when syncing I do NOT have the photos or windows contacts on the iphone.
Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.

I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
something is crazy
but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......

Calendar and Contacts Not Updating IPhone 4g

Hi.
I have a user in our work environment using an IPhone 4g. He gets his emails in fine, but his contacts and calendar stopped updating. We have removed the account from the phone and set it back up again, but that didn't help. His Outlook updates as normal, so I believe it is the phone. He has almost 10,000 contacts and countless calendar items. Has anyone encountered this before?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
You posted to the BB10 Z10 forum, yet list in your forum profile "Torch 9800" as your device, and ask a question about BB Link. Please clarify your situation so that we can properly understand. For example, if indeed you do have a 9800, then you should not even be using Link.
Thanks and let us know!

Calendars and Reminders not syncing

Hey,
My Calendars between my Phone and Macbook aren't syncing, since I started using iMessages on my Macbook.
It looks as though my iPhone isn't updating icloud correctly, as I checked on iCloud.com and it's using the version that is on the MacBook instead of the iPhone (the iPhone is the latest version)
Can anyone tell me how to fix?

Can I sync Office 2013 Home premium Outlook calendar and contacts across all my computers without using Hotmail account

I don't want to use a Hotmail account to do this.
Is it possible?
The licence is for 5 PC's but seems to have no sync ability.

I just went to Windows 8.1 and I purchased Office 365 home premium for 5 PCs or Macs and 5 mobile devices. No where in the page or the "learn more info" did it say it would not sync up with iPhones and iPads. I am concerned I wasted my money because
I truly wanted to have Outlook on my iPhone and Ipad. There is an OWA for iPad and Iphone available but I have deducted that it needs Microsoft Exchange which is not included in the home premium version of office365. I am not sure what good it does to advertise
syncing with mobile devices when it truly will not sync up. Is this True?
For $100/year, you would think exchange could be included so these syncing issues would not be a problem. I do not want to keep up with more email accounts just to make it work with Microsoft.
I am trying to keep things simple. I do use iPhones and Ipads, and based on the advertising for office 365 all my current issues would be seamlessly fixed by going this route. I'm afraid not unless someone can give me the simple solution that does not
require a PHd in computer saavy. I am not a rookie, but after 4 hours of trying everything I know to make it work, I just could not do it through my new office365 software or the apps for Iphone or Ipad. In addition, there were conflicting answers and
responses from Microsoft when I called or chatted with their support people.
BTW, I did download iCloud onto my new laptop and it knew that it was not syncing with Outlook and immediately asked if I wanted to fix. Downloaded the fix, restarted system, and calendar and contacts immediately synced up on my apple devices and my
new computer.
The funny thing is that I still cannot get Office365 to sync with the windows 8.1 calendar or contacts app on the start page using my POP email account that I have had for many years. I also think it needs exchange. Please provide some guidance
here.
I'm trying not to be difficult but am looking for the software to work as advertised so I can stick with all office products. If not, just give me a refund and I will buy a stand alone version for my PC and sync up with Apple apps which work well and
are much less expensive. Thanks for your assistance.
