Calendar events are all 3 hours off when syncing with iCloud

Good morning,
I've noticed other users wtih the same issue, but the previously proposed solutions have not worked for me.
Problem:
1. Adding event X at 3pm on iCloud >> event X is scheduled at 6pm on iPhone.
2. Adding event Y at noon on iPhone >> event Y is scheduled at 9am on iCloud.
Previously tried and failed solution: set all time zones to EST.
Fail.
I've set the time zone in the following locations:
1. Date & Time on my MBP.
2. Turned on time zone support in iCal on my MBP.
3. Turned on time zone support on iCloud.
4. Time zone set automatically under General >> Date & Time on iPhone. (It's the right one.)
5. Turned on time zone support under General >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars. (It's the right one.)
I'm having the same problem on both my iPhone and my iCal on my MBP.
Any advice?
- Chinmayee

Could you please share the fix you found. I have been dealing with this for over a month now and it's driving me crazy! Please let me know what you did or where to find the info. Thanks!

Calendar events are 8 hrs different after syncing phone to mac

Hi
When I sync Iphone with Imac, calendar events are 8 hours different, Iphone 8 hrs behind Imac. Any suggestions??

Make sure that Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Time Zone Support is ON and set to the correct time zone, and that your Mac is also set to the correct time zone in System Preferences > Date & Time > Time Zone tab.

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac.

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
PLEASE HELP
Ps:
I've already done this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.
Wireless Transfer App Easily send photos to iPhone/iPad ...

Calendar events are all screwed after reset

I recently had to reset my IPad through settings. After doing this, all of my the events I entered into the calander app. are now scheduled one day ahead of where they were originally and the times set for these events are all over the place. I don't really want to re-enter the events again. The reset seems to have screwed these up somehow. This was the first time I did a complete reset. In the past, I have only done a network reset, without it affecting the calander dates.

What do you mean by reset - pressing the home and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so, or restoring the iPad with iTunes from the iPad's backup?
Are you syncing calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007 on your computer?
Do you have Time Zone support enabled on your iPad and if so and this is needed, do you have a city selected that is in your Time Zone?

Entourage- iCal events are 5 hours off

My computer time is set to US/Central, Entourage events are US/Central, and iCal is set to US/Central. When I turn on Sync Services in Entourage, events that hit iCal are 5 hours off.
I believe Sync Services is assuming the times on the events in Entourage are all GMT, even though they show up in iCal as US/Central.
Is there a way to resolve this? I've tried it on 3 different machines, and it's broken on all of them.

FIXED. Special thanks to Tarun Reddy for noticing that the problem
only appears when using a case-sensitive filesystem. I used fs_usage
to log all file accesses and wrote a bunch of scripts to get me a list
of possible files. I had a list of 536 candidate files after the
scripting and went through all of them by hand until I found it.
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /usr/share/zoneinfo/utc

Creating item in shared calendar- it disappears when syncs with icloud!

This has been going on for weeks. When I create a new event on a shared calendar, the edit window closes and I see my appointment listed correctly. A few moments later, as the "updating..." line appears at the top of the screen, the event's title and time disappears and it reverts to my default calendar at a random time during the day (same date). I could create 10 events and the moment it tries to sync to iCloud, they are all GONE! Anyone else notice this from a shared calendar? FWIW- it doesn't do this when I schedule directly on icloud.com, but I find the interface to be a pain in the neck to use regularly. All suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

Iphone deleted all phone numbers when synced with Exchange, Please Help!!

We recently received new Iphones for the Administrative staff and thought that like other Smartphones we've used in the past that syncing with Exchange would be a breeze. After doing a bit of research everything pointed towards it being a very simple process, this is the process I followed:
Open up Itunes with Iphone connected
Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
Click the "Info" tab
In the Contacts section, check "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook"
Click "All Contacts"
Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
Click "Merge", so that your contacts on your iPhone are preserved
This seemed to work but there is one major problem, all of the contacts on the Iphone and the ones imported into Outlook no longer have any phone numbers associated to them. The contacts were all synced into Outlook/Exchange no problem with their respective emails but with no phone numbers at all. Unfortunately the computer which had the backup of this Iphone was recently decommissioned so I have no backup of the phone in its previous state.
Is there any way to recover the old phone numbers/contacts on the phone without having a backup of it in its previous state? I have tried the "Import Sim Contacts" button in the settings on the phone but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. There are over 100 contacts on this particular phone, some of which the phone numbers will be very difficult to retrieve again.
I have to say that I'm not very impressed that the most popular smartphone out there can't even sync with the largest email platform in the enterprise world properly. If anybody can help me retrieve those numbers some how I would be extremely appreciative.

So is this not a common issue?
This is the first I have heard of it... but I'm only one person.

Does the Iphone actually support 2-way sync with Outlook properly or will it erase all of the numbers on the phone every time?
If you are syncing directly with Outlook, there are options in iTunes to determine which set of contacts takes priority when duplicates are found. Personally I do not use this. I have my device set up to sync directly with the exchange server so all changes are made directly on the server.
Personally I would recommend against using Outlook as the intermediary. You will get much more consistent and reliable results if the iPhone syncs directly with the exchange server and no worries if the end user has not synced the device in days/weeks/months.

Calendar 6.0 keeps saying "updating" when sync with gcal

Hi guys,

The problem seems to be in the Delegates. I followed the instructions in the above, setting up google calendars as CalDAV and using the calendar ID. But tedious but at least its working until apple get their act together and fix it!

How can I choose individual playlists and/or songs when syncing with iCloud?

It was pretty intuitive before iCloud, when I was only syncing (wired via USB) with iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
I would select my iPhone's name in the left-hand column of iTunes, and then select the category of what I wanted to sync. From there, I could pick particular playlists, songs, TV shows, movies, podcasts, photo folders, etc. to synchronize to my device. I felt that I had complete control over every single thing that synced to my iPhone. Very Cool!
When I made the decision to automatically backup wirelessly (Wi-Fi) on iCloud, there was a notice that my iPhone would no longer sync with iTunes. Now, I find that there is no longer any way that I can make choices of what is backed up and/or transferred to my iPhone. All I can find is broad categories of whether to sync ALL music, ALL videos, ALL photos, etc. How can I regain the freedom to choose precisely what is synced to my iPhone?
I'm assuming that every time I want to make a change (even adding a single music video) to on my phone, I need to do all of the following:
1. Go to "Settings".
2. Click "iCloud".
3. Scroll to bottom og the page.
4. Click "Storage & Backup".
5. Turn off iCloud Backup.
6. Connect to iTunes on computer with USB cable.
7. Make desired syncing changes, etc.
8. Disconnect cable
9. Turn iCloud Backup back on., etc.
This surely doesn't meet Steve Jobs' simplicity definition of being "able to do anything with 3 clicks or less."
I don't see this addressed anywhere in Apple's documentation. It would be helpful if they at least had a list of what is backed =up in each place, and how people should manage backing up their devices on each.
Are the two methods of backup mutually exclusive? Or, should they be complimentary? (With all of the extra keystrokes?)
Is there any meaningful difference between syncing with iTunes via USB or wirelessly?
Will iTunes in the Cloud simplify the backup and restore process? Or make it even more complicated?

Ever since iTunes 11, that capability is not there. The Popularity displays in a column, but you cannot sort on it.
If you would like to make a suggestion to Apple, use the iTunes Feedback page:

How do I set up a calendar on my iphone that doesn't sync with iCloud?

I have an iPhone, iPad , iMac and Mac mini all connected to iCloud for syncing of iCal, Mail, Address Book etc.
I want to set up a calendar on my iPhone that doesn't sync to my other devices, so that I can set reminders that will only pop up on the iPhone.
Can anyone help with advice? Does iCal/iCloud handle this?

Have read the printer manual, it will contain instructions for connecting it to a network, and then to your Mac. You don't identify this printer so it's difficult to be more specific.
You can also go to the printer manufacturers website and seek assistance there.

Calendar events in iPhone randomly erased when syncing

So I've had some issues with syncing my iPhone's calendar to iCal. Sometimes after syncing, events that I had edited or added to my iPhone are erased. This seems to happen randomly, however so far it has only been happening with events that I have set to repeat on a weekly basis.
For example, today I put my work schedule for the week into my iPhone. So I edited the repeating events that correspond to my work schedule already in my iPhone to reflect the new times for the week. I edited my start and end times for Monday through Friday. So then I got home and synced to iCal and my work schedule for Friday was erased. Why just Friday while the other days synced up fine? I don't know...
Any ideas as to why this happens? Why wouldn't the event just update on iCal instead of just deleting itself??

I have this exact same problem, but haven't figured out how to fix it. However, some of my events that are getting mysteriously deleted are not repeating events (some are repeating).
So, any help would be appreciated!

Birthday from calendar appears on two consecutive days when synced with iPo

Hello.
This has utterly confounded me.

Hello, tt2.
My original post appeared twice because somehow I managed to click the wrong command before I finished it the first time. Either that or the cat walked across the keyboard!
Each birthday and anniversary in my iCal is set for 'all day', from and to the same date, to repeat annually and end never, but this is the only one that is in iCal for one day a year, yet on the iPod for two consecutive days a year.
I've removed all calendar files from the iPod manually and then re-synced, but the problem persists.
Thanks.

I LOST ALL MY CONTACTS after syncing with icloud! How do i get them back!?

I went on icloud and synced my contacts and now all of them are GONE. i have no idea how to get them back,

They may be in your backup. Try restoring from backup.

TS4036 all contacts lost after sync with icloud

I activated the icloud using my iphone 4s. Suddenly all of my 1000s of contacts were gone. I hope they would still be there on my desktop (till recent sync). There were probably no contacts in my icloud and it wiped those on my cell. This should have been merge and icloud should have updated. Now should I turn off icloud and just sync my iphone.

Contact applecare. they have procedures for this.
