Calendar event created on iphone not showing in ical.

I have a 4S and when I create a calendar event in ical, it does not show up in my ical ofn my Macbook Pro.
I have check sync calendars in iTunes and have selected to display all calendars in my Macbook's iCal.
Is ther some thing I am overlooking, or a step I may be forgetting?
Thanks

After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
0) Plug in iPhone
1) Start iCal
2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
3) Quit iCal
4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
5) Start iCal
6) Import all exported calendars
7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
8) Sync iPhone

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

    that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

    Ok, this will work.
    1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
    2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
    2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
    3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
    4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
    5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
    It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
    Good luck!

  • Events created in iPhone not showing up in iCal

    The reason for the problem is that Tiger and Leopard used different places to store iCal calendar information only clearing out BOTH and starting fresh will ensure no old calendars from Tiger get in to corrupt the new Leopard ones.
    Tiger stored calendars in: Users/<Username>/Library/Application Support/ical
    Leopard stores calendars in: Users/<Username>/Library/Calendars
    Remove both these folders and quiet both iCal and iTunes.
    Then just to be sure reset the preferences in iSync. Launch iSync>prefs>reset sync history. This may grey out as it thinks its done or not needed. This greying out happens if there are no devices listed in iSync, if so relaunch iSync and you get a short time to try again. iSync looks like its not syncing anything if you are only using .Mac and iPhone. This is because iSync previously controlled syncing .Mac but this is now in System Preferences and iphone syncing is done through iTunes in fact it iSync is still keeping a log behind the scenes, Its this log of sync history that needs to be reset.
    Then open iCal and iTunes, iCal will remake the default calendars Home and Work. Which you can rename.
    I had no old calendars to export and I'm not sure that bringing old ones back in will not cause problems again, for me starting fresh was the best way. If you can't then try exporting your current calendars and then do the clear out, bring them back in at the end. Hopefully they will go into the new Leopard location the old Tiger one will not be recreated.
    Success! Thanks to Apple in Cork.

  • Events created on iPhone not added to iCal

    The events I've created on my iPhone to not get added to iCal when I sync via iTunes. I've tried "sync all calendars" as well as syncing selected calendars.
    Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I have a feeling it's really obvious and I'm just not seeing it...

    I have a solution that ACTUALLY works:
    Make sure your iPhone is displayed in iTunes.
    Select your iPhone and then select the Info tab.
    UNCHECK Sync Address Book contacts, and then recheck.
    UNCHECK Sync iCal contacts, and then recheck.
    Sync your iPhone.
    You'll be prompted to accept both Address Book and iCal changes and the sync will work!
    From that point on all you have to do is sync normally and it'll transfer both Address Book contacts and iCal events BOTH ways!
    Thank you to the fabulous Apple Tech representative who helped figure out this solution!!!

  • Calendar events created in iPhone don't sycn to iCal

    I migrated from a Blackberry to iPhone about a month ago, so am somewhat green to the nuances of the platform.
    I notice that when I create a calendar event in the iPhone (3g, 2.2.1), it does not get sync'ed to my iCal calendar. Changes in iCal sync to the iPhone just fine.
    I've done the reset suggestions listed in the Apple support site that relate to resetting the iSync history as well as running the unix command with no change.
    Any suggestions here?
    thanks,
    Larry

    I am also having the problem. Events created on the iPhone do not sync to either my MobileMe calendar (no matter what platform (Mac/PC) or browser(IE/Safafi) I open it from)or the iCals on either my desktop or laptops Macs. All have MobileMe preferences set to sync calendars, and iPhone is set to Sync with my Macs in iTunes. All events added anywhere BUT the iPhone itself, sync across all my Macs and MobileMe, only the event actually added from the iPhone itself fail to sync.
    Anybody got anything new on this?

  • Syncing Events Created with iPhone Not an Option?

    Okay, I've read as many discussion threads as my eyes can handle and have tried several solutions suggested to no avail. I am using Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 but was very recently using Windows XP Pro and Outlook 2003. The same problem applies to both environments.
    While I've had no problem syncing contacts and calendars from my computer to the iPhone, I cannot go the other direction. The selection box beside the phrases "Put new events (or contacts) created on this iPhone into the group (or calendar)," which is then followed but what should be a drop down menu, appears gray and is unselectable. I figured it was some simple preference setting in either Outlook or the iPhone that was causing the problem and found my way to the discussions to seek the remedy. Once here, I find myself overwhelmed and wondering if I now need a computer engineering degree to prevent missed appointments or the need for double entry. Please help a poor, technically challenged individual not regret the decision to by this phone!!

    I'm guessing that perhaps the reason the option to "Put new Contacts/Events created on iPhone" is not available is that I only have one calendar/group (Outlook) available on my computer. That is also why it defaults to "All Contacts" and "All Calendars"
    Evidently the actual syncing from the iPhone to the computer is unrelated to the availability of these options. At least that appears to be true in my case. I was actually able to get mine to work using the information in the article posted by someone else and available at
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845
    It seems the step regarding "Removing all other Third Party Add Ins" did the trick. I just didn't think it worked initially since the options on the Info tab did not change.
    Hope that helps! Thanks to all for the input. B

  • Events created on iPhone NOT synching to Calendar - and I'm all up to date

    I'm on a MacBook, running 10.4.10, all software is latest up to date, running iPhone 1.0.1.
    I have a Calendar event I created yesterday for today (3pm appt). I've plugged/unplugged to sync repeatedly, iTunes reports sync is finished, but the event doesn't make it onto the MacBook's Calendar.
    This is deeply alarming as I thought I could count on iPhone created events to migrate to my Mac and .Mac calendars - anybody know anything more about this?
    -mike

    I'm experiencing a hybrid variation of what everyone else in this thread has reported.
    *Calendars*
    I am using Entourage, and have two calendars set up in iCal. One is labeled Entourage and according to the notes, "This calendar is automatically created by Microsoft Entourage" so I'm leaving that one alone. I also created a second calendar named "iPhone". I have my iPhone sync preferences in iTunes set to sync with both calendars. Up until today (I hadn't synced calendars in a few days), everything seemed to move to and fro without any issues.
    This morning though, the items I changed in iPhone successfully synced to both calendars in iCal, but did not carry over to Entourage. Even the "Entourage" calendar in iCal reflects all the changes. Similarly, items I added in Entourage are not making it over to the iPhone.
    In iTunes, I have the preferences set to add new events from the iPhone into the Entourage calendar.
    *Contacts*
    Contacts don't appear to be syncing in either direction.
    Short story long, it looks like iCal and the iPhone are getting along swimmingly, but Entourage isn't syncing. I find this odd since the Entourage-created calendar in iCal looks fine - I would think if Entourage is showing as updated in iCal...then it would be updated in Entourage.
    I did reset the sync history...that didn't appear to do anything helpful.
    Entourage is my main calendar/address book...so this is a bit frustrating.

  • Calendar events created on iphone do not sync to ical...

    I have created several events on my iphone calendar then watched them disappear when performing a sync with my laptop. I have gone to itunes, hi-lited my iphone (when mounted) then gone to "info" tab in itunes, I've selected "home" where it says "Put new events created on this iphone into the calendar" (pull down menu)
    None of these phone-created-events end up in "home" or "work" or any of my other calendars. My laptop ical overrides anything on the phone and deletes it. Is there something else I should be checking or setting? I have the most current version of iphone software that's been offered (1.1.4). I would like to be able to put an event in there and have the sync work both ways.

    Never mind. For some reason it just worked. I guess I really meant it this time.

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing properly

    I've set iTunes to "Put new events creatd on this iPhone into the calendar" to my "Home" calendar, but when I create a new event on my iPhone and sync, the event shows up in the Read-Only "US Holidays" calendar (it's one that I subscribe to from Apple). I've tried the "Reset Sync History" feature in iSync several times (rebooting afterwards) but the problem persists. Any ideas??

    Items that I enter on my iphone also get added to a calendar that I subscribe to, which is supposed to be read only, even though I have chosen another calendar to add new items too. My read-only calendar does not appear in the select box in the itunes info sync page, but it is getting the events, no matter what calendar I do choose. Then when the calendar gets auto refreshed from its source, the events disappear. I cannot change the events to place them on a different calendar, once they are in iCal my, because the calendar is read-only -- to everything but iphone.

  • Events entered on iphone not showing up on mac ical

    Events entered on my iphone do not show up on my Mac ical.

    rastro2,
    Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off "Calendars," when prompted delete data, and wait two minutes, then turn "Calendars" back on. When asked merge the data, make that choice, and wait patiently. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change.
    Hopefully that will correct the problem.

  • Calendar entries made on iPhone not showing up on mobileme or iCal

    When I add an entry to my calendar on my iPhone, it shows on the iPhone, but not on the iCal or mobileme calendars. When I try to manually sync it, using iTunes, everything on my iPhone calendar disappears and when I restore it, the items I had added to the iPhone that were not on the other calendars are gone.
    I tried various methods suggested in the discussion forum under "mobile me" syncing issues, such as deleting mobile me from my iPhone and recreating it, migrating the iCal to mobile me, etc., but nothing works.
    It was working fine until I updated my iTunes software. I have everything in iTunes checked that I should have checked. Anyone have any suggestions? Items put on the mobile me or iCal do show up on the iPhone, just not vice versa. Thanks.

    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.

  • Calendar entries entered on iphones not showing on computer

    My wife and I both have iPhones and sync them to the same instance if iTunes (same Apple ID).  We do not use iCloud for anything.  If either of us puts an entry into ical on one of the phones and we sunc our phones the entry gets transferred to the other phone but will not show up on Calendar on the Mac.   All listed calendars are selected for display on the Mac and on the phones.  iTunes is set up to sync all calendars on the phones as well.  In case it matters the computer is running 10.8.4 and one phone is running IOS 7.0.4 and the other phone is still running IOS 6.? although this has been going on for a while and both phones were on IOS 6.x. I do not know where else to look as the calendar entries are obviously making it onto the computer but simply not being displayed.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    On your 3GS: Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>scroll down to Calendars area>Tap on "Default Account">choose iCloud.

  • Google events added on iPhone not showing up on iCal, Google events added in iCal not showing up on iPhone

    I have been having this problem consistently for a few months. If I delete my Google account from my phone, I can then re-enter it, and events will synch. A few times, I have also had to delete my Google account from my Air. Anybody else seen (and, hopefully, fixed) this? Needless to say, an up-to-date calendar is one of the more critical things for my iPhone to have.

    By "iCal" do you mean Calendar on your Mac? If so, I'd suggest you stop using that entirely and just use the Google calendar web interface and the Calendar app on your phone. I have absolutely no problems with that set up (one iPhone, two iPads and an MBA). The Calendar program on the Mac just adds a layer of complexity to the process.

  • Help!! cal event created and emailed not posting to ical

    i create a calendar event in outlook at the office and invite my personal email address and then when i look at my ical the event does not show up.. i have the option set so this should happen automatically but it doesn't....please any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    not sure what you mean????
    if i receive and invite from someone (or send to myself for that matter) the event should be automatically posted to my calendar without any action on my part.
    this is what happens when an event is sent to a gmail account (the event is automatically posted on the calendar)

  • TS3999 i put a calendar event into my iPhone in my iCloud calendar, but it is not showing up in my Outlook iCloud calendar.  what am i doing wrong?

    I put a calendar event into my iPhone (using iCloud calendar) but it does not show up in my Outlook iCloud calendar.  Any idea what i am doing wrong?

    Are you sure that you put the event on your iCloud calendar?  You might want to check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar to be sure you have selected the calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default.
