Calendar events created on the BlackBerry before first sync are not synced with iCal

Hi all,
I’m helping my uncle regarding problems and requests he has about his BlackBerry Bold 9000. One request he had is to be able to synchronize the calendar with iCal (he has a Mac). I thought this was a simple task, but it eventually appeared to be a nightmare. I spent several hours before finally giving up.
This is the situation:
His BlackBerry’s calendar is full of events (past and future). iCal is empty. We would simply like to see all his BlackBerry’s events in iCal. We’re using BlackBerry Desktop Manager (last version as of 2010-02-25).
The first synchronization didn't changed anything. Events created after that, either in iCal or on the BlackBerry, appeared correctly on the other side after re-syncing.
Searching in the Knowledge Base and on this forum, I found KB13330 and KB19621. Do you think it is linked to this last issue?
I made a backup of the BlackBerry before doing any testing, and started over everything several times. I even cleaned all iCal and SyncServices data (and also tested with a new empty account on his Mac), but it didn’t change anything.

I have not signed up for or used i-cloud and do not believe I've entered anything via i-could (at least not on purpose :-) ).  I either enter an event in the calendar (i-calendar version 6.8--came on the laptop) OR into the calendar program on the i-phone 5 and then sync--I expect the event to then show up in the proper location on both devices--this is the way it has worked flawlessly with the MacBook Pro and i-phone 4 for a long time.
The operating system of the laptop is: 10.8.4 and the iphone 5 is: 6.1.4.  I believe both are current; I frequently search for updates and install them regularly.
Thanks for your time to assist me.  Our tech "guy" is also stumped by this--a long time Apple product user and very knowledgeable "techie."

    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • Is it true that the notification center will only show Calendar events occuring within the next 24 hours?  If not, how do I set it up to show more?

    I have an 4s running IOS 5.1.1.  I have set my Calendar to appear in the Notification Center and have set it to show the next 5 events.  When I look at my NC, though, it only shows two events.  I found a random posting on a forum that suggested that the NC will only show events 24 hours at a time.  Is this correct?  Is there any way to work around it?  If this is true, it makes the NC totally useless.
    Thanks.

  • Reminders, contacts, calendars entered on ipad 3 are not syncing to iphone or icloud

    Recently I switched from syncing contacts, reminders, and calendar events from Outlook 2010 to iCloud. I have an iPhone 4S with a provider, my iPad3 only has wi-fi. I have all setting set to one Calendar for iCloud on my PC, iPhone, and iPad but if I enter a new calendar event, reminder or contact via my iPad, they do not sync up to the iPhone or iCloud.
    What am I missing?

    Yes. I also have both setup with the one account email address. It is NOT my icloud email address.
    I do have the Fetch new Data set differently because my iPhone 4S was draining the battery when it was set to PUSH. I have it set to Fetch every hour.
    For example, I set a calendar event for March 16th on my iPad. I didn't have internet connection when i created it. Now that I am connected to the internet from home, the event still has not transferred to my iPhone.
    Just to Verify I checked the Calendar on my iPhone and my calendar on my iPad and they are the same iCloud and this Calendar is shared. I shared it with my husband.

  • 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?

  • Can't sync events created on the iPhone back to Outlook or iCal

    after upgraded my two iPhones to 1.1.4 I cannot sync events created in the iPhone back into Outlook on my Vista machine or iCal on my Macbook (for the second iPhone). I searched the forum but found no answer other than a RESTORE... I already needed a RESTORE in one of the iPhones as music data got corrupted after upgrade (it created a huge OTHER file.
    1.1.4 fixed bugs and added quite a few!
    any advice out there other than RESTORE? As always the helpful agent from apple support suggests restoring the iPhone and denies anybody else having issues.

    The first question I wold have to trouble shoot your problems is: Do you have an active open account on Outlook? Do you have more then one account active on outlook? When you connect your iPhone to iTunes and go to the second Tab...What boxes do you have selected? Are you set up to Auto or Manual Sync?
    Currently I have one active account in Outlook that is displaying my MSN account that was IMAP'd through izymail.com. All of my sync modes are set to manual so that I can control what and when my sync occurs. All of my boxes are checked in the second tab to sync to the outlook account that I have established. If this does not help then please answer the questions above so that I or someone else can assist you further.
    Good Luck

  • I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?

    I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?

    It is not necessary to delete your old wireless networks first, but doing so may eliminate confusion. If you wish to do that, open System Preferences > Network, and select Wi-Fi from the left column. Click the Advanced... button, then select your old wireless networks and delete them with the "–" (minus) button. Make sure the "Remember networks this computer has joined" remains checked.
    OK then Apply.
    This prevents your Mac from searching for your previous network which will no longer exist.
    A new Express creates an open wireless network that you must select before you can configure it. It appears in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
    Select it. AirPort Utility will load and walk you through its configuration.
    Edit: If you are really using OS X 10.5.1 as shown in your profile, the above screenshot is not applicable. Instead, select the network called "Apple network nnnnnn" and then launch AirPort Utility.

  • Google contacts and calendar events entered on my iPhone 5s are not syncing with my google account.

    Newly entered contacts and calendar events entered on my IPhone 5s are not syncing to google.
    Facts that may be pertinent:
    - I switched from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5s and did the easy option of having it automatically set up like my previous phone, so I did not change any part of the setup. It is possible that it stopped syncing at that time, based on which contacts have synced and which haven't.
    - My gmail account is set up as Exchange, with Mail, Contacts, and Calendars set to sync.
    - Server: m.google.com, Use SSl is on, S/MIME is off (I don't actually know what these are, but maybe they matter?)
    - Fetch New Data / Gmail account is set to Push
    - Contacts and Calendar Default Account is Gmail
    - In the Contacts app under Groups I have only GMAIL checked.
    I've read that Google recommends CardDAV, which I gather is not the same as Exchange?
    I'm afraid to delete anything and start over, for fear of losing my contacts.
    Is there a difference between the gmail account I set up and what the Contacts app calls GMAIL?
    If there is anything I should communicate about how things are set up on the Google end, let me know.
    Thanks in advance for help!

    Hello Marsden,
    Try this...
    Go to the isync program on your Mac. 
    Go to Preferences in the main menu
    Hit Reset Sync History
    I'm pretty sure this is how I fixed it... so far so good.
    Let me know if that works for you!

    Hello,
    seems to me that you maybe only updated the syncengine but not portal/webservice.
    I had that error once after an recovery from scratch and forgot one of the hotfixes to apply to all services.

  • Events created on iPad and/or iPhone won't show up in iCal

    Events created on iPad and/or iPhone won't show up in iCal. I do not use Mobile Me, or Google (I learned that one the hard way). I am getting tired of creating events (and contacts) and then having to remember to go back on my Macbook and create them all over again. Any ideas?

    Did you try these?...

    I have this same problem on my iMac since installing Mavericks. The emails download, I can see who they are from and when they came, but nothing shows up in the message pane. I can see emails I got before I installed Mavericks, although about half of them did disappear. Sure would like to find a fix--perhaps the 10.9.1 update will do it?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

    my iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud.  Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.

    The same thing is happening to me, Mail was fine about an hour ago and now is rejecting correct password.  Typical when today I'm waiting some important emails!
