Calendar on iPhone & MacBook not syncing correctly

I have lost various items from last year from my iPhone calendar, they do appear on my MacBook. I entered some of the old items again as I needed them for reference, they appeared OK but when I went to the next date to do another entry and came back again they had disappeared fro my iPhone, so I tried again, same result. When I checked again on my MacBook both of the new items appeared on the calendar along with the original entry. I have synced again to iCloud but they still do not show up on the phone.

  • Calendar on iPhone does not sync to iCloud

    I have never synced anything to iCloud before. I would like to sync my iPhone 4s Calendar to the iCloud (iOS 7.0.4). I have followed all the instructions to sync to iCloud using the settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendars and iCloud, but it doesn't seem to be sending my iPhone Calendar data to the iCloud. Since I don't have any other means to back up my Calendar, I can' afford to lose my iPhone calendar data, since iTunes no longer syncs my iPhone calendar data to my iMac.  The calendar data on my iMac is not current . Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Welcome to the Apple Community limill.
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Outlook-Updates to EXISTING Calendar and Contact entries not syncing correctly - two PC's

    My setup is two PC's (one at work, one at home), one BB. Both PC's Outlook are Outlook 2003, SP3. I do not use BES. I sync my BB to both PCs.
    I have experiencing specific issues where updates to existing Outlook Calendar (mtg notes) and Contact (contact notes) are not being sync'd from one PC to the next PC (via my BB device - Sprint Curve 8330 running OS v4.5.0.131). I sync PC's to my BB using BB Desktop Mgr (v4.7) and USB cable.
    Here are specific details of what I am doing to duplicate the issues.
    1) Calendar:
    I have been away from work the past two days. In that time, I have updated two (2) calendar items at my PC at home - both items are at my work PC as well.
    Item one: I moved the date from Wed to Thurs, and added a note - done from home PC
    Item two: I changed the description of the meeting, and shortened appt from 3 hrs to two hrs - done from home PC
    Both items sync OK with my BB
    Upon coming to work this morning, neither sync'd to my work PC. I finally did the following:
    Item one: I deleted from Desktop Outlook, opened in BB put a space in the meeting description saved.
    Item two: Opened on BB, put a space in the meeting description saved.
    Upon resyncing, here is what happened
    Item one: Sync Mgr noticed conflict of deleting from PC and changed in BB. I chose to copy item to PC. This results in syncing correctly to PC
    Item two: Sync'd to PC correctly.
    Something is NOT right. The sync process did NOT recognize these two items that changed until I manually intervened (updating on the BB).
    2) Contact: 
    I ran a test today where on my work PC, I added a comment into one contact's note. I successfully sync'd that contact note to my BB. However, when I sync the BB with my home PC, that note did NOT make it to the home PC.
    I opened the contact (in edit mode) on my BB, inserted a space to the contact's name, erased the space, and saved the contact.
    I then sync'd the BB to the home PC again. This time, success - the contact's note got sync'd to the home PC.
    HELP
    I have seen this sort of thing a few times before (where sync did not sync a Calendar event/mtg correctly) in the past three months or so I owned my BB - but this is the first time I decided to actually test out the fix. This is the first time I noticed with a contact (maybe b/c i do not look at my Contacts updates as closely as I do my Calendar mtgs updates)

    Thanks for your feedback:
    2 things..... I somehow had created a duplicate calendar which may have been >blocking the sync. If you have it as well, delete this calendar and try to sync.
    I have several calendars in Outlook - there is the main one which contains everything, then where I have marked certain entries as 'Personal' or as 'Anniversaries' etc a separate calendar is created with those entries in them.
    Also, I read somewhere that some calendar entries will corrupt the sync of the > phone. Delete all new entries since the last successful sync and enter a test >entry and try to sync the phone. To the best of my knowledge, there is no >indication that an appointment is "bad" other than the phone will stop syncing. >So perhaps after each sync, check the phone to ensure any new entries appear.
    I can't possibly tell when the last successful synch occurred! I also don't want to delete entries - I need them all!
    There appears to be very little advice on this problem, hopefully this will >work.
    Yes, it seems that the Great God Apple isn't anywhere as smart as it thinks it is. I am really frustrated and not a little angry. This is basic stuff for any other phone, let alone a Smart Phone!
    Thanks for your comments, though.

  • IPhone 5 not syncing correctly.

    Hello guys,
    Please bear with me as this question my seem a little bit long-winded but I really am stumped on this one. I've had an iPhone 5 since July of this year, and I haven't had a single problem with it. After purchasing it, I hooked it up to my iTunes account which I used with my old 4S and moved everything over.
    A couple of weeks ago, my laptop went in for repair and I nearly lost all the contents of my hard drive. The guy in the shop managed to fix it and save a lot of my data, but I had to re-download iTunes and whatnot. Anyway, I put all of my music back in and set up my iTunes account again, and synced my phone with it. The issue here is that when I sync my music, it does not sync the music I have checked and it does not remove the music that I no longer want on the phone.
    The issue is becoming very frustrating because I want to free up some memory but I cannot remove music on the phone by syncing with my iTunes library, and I cannot put new music on there. Do any of you maybe have the solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm also having this issue - I'm getting about 27GB of garbage data put into the iPhone's 'other' category
    iPhone 5 64GB
    iTunes 11.4
    MBP 10.8.5
    iTunes is set to 'convert larger songs to 128k AAC', and it's trying to sync a 9,500 song library which is a mixture of aiff, wav, mp3, m4p and a couple of m4v.
    Previously these all fit on my iPhone a treat. Left iTunes last night after already having transferred around 7000 of them - iTunes informed me i'd have nearly 10GB space remaining. Came back this morning and iTunes shows my phone is now 15GB over capacity. It shows all the library has synced though - no greyed out songs.
    When I go to the phone, that says it has 7GB space remaining and only 1700 songs synced. in the music app itself, there's very few songs in there. Looking in Settings>General>Usage, there's no visibility of where that 27GB is being used up. Music category is only 11GB (which should be more like 38GB).
    Please help I've wiped and resynced my phone 3 times now, it's driving me mental: I just want to listen to music. I've never had this issue with Android's drag n drop.

  • ICloud wiped calendars from iPhone - also not syncing contacts

    I migrated from mobileme to iCloud - all functions appeared to be ok and syncing between iMac, MacBook Pro and iCloud viewed online via browser.
    Mail is syncing with my iPhone and iWork is syncing and working fine.
    But it does not appear to be syncing my contacts with the iPhone - I made a couple of minor alterations to contacts as a way of checking - amendments appear on both iMac and MacBook Pro and iCloud in browser, but not on phone
    But most importantly - all my calendars have been wiped from my iPhone.
    Mail, contactsm calendars, reminders, bookmarks, notes and find my iPhone are all turned on on my iPhone
    I have:-
    1) Ensured I had a Wi-fi connection
    2) turned iPhone off and on again
    3) held home and power buttons to reset iPhone
    4) turned calenders (and contacts) off in iCloud sync and turned back on again after a few minutes
    5) gone to settings for mail,calender, contacts and changed the sync setting from events 3 months back to all events and tried refreshing calendar again.
    6) I have checked the iCloud sync settings for calendar and contacts in system preferences on both my iMac and MackBook Pro
    7) Have done a full restore of iPhone software
    8) gone through 2 - 5 again having done the full restore
    9) deleted the account on my iPhone and then re-entered account
    10) gone through 2 - 5 again having re-entered account details
    Cannot think of anything else I can do - visted local Applestore, but they were unable to help without a Genius Bar appointment which I have for four days time. If anyone can help more immediately than this, then I'd be grateful.
    thanks

    Thank you for all of your help.
    But, it's still not working for me.
    Firstly I'm new to Icloud. I have a feeling that I am missing something basic between Icloud and Iphone. I am at the point were I'm not even sure what to ask. Sorry for all the "possible" over info, but I wanted to be as clear as possible.
    Goal:
    -Changing from Iphone 3gs to 4s
    -Download all info from Icloud to the new 4s
    -only 1/2 contacts from 3gs are uploaded to Icloud, hence, 4s doesn't have the contacts
    -problem: my computer is so old it (itunes)will no longer sync to either Iphone.
    - "Test contact" performed on Iphone 3gs and it did upload to Icloud. So it's on the Icloud website contacts page when I log in.
    - I have clicked import SIM contacts and uploaded to Icould. However I'm not sure if it really did it. It did say complete, but who knows. 
    Iphone 3gs 6.1.2
    Groups:
    All Exchange √
    All Icloud √
      Family √
      Friends√
    Setting> mail contacts calendars>
    mail = default Icloud
    contacts = default Icloud
    Setting > Icloud> = all switched to ON except Notes.
    Setting > Icloud> Storage Backup>Manage Storage>Backups>Backup Options = All apps ON, Camera Roll ON---- But no Contacts is there---I find this strange.
    About 1/2 of my contacts are missing.
    All Exchange contacts are in Icloud
    All Friends and Family contacts are in Icloud
    If I click on All Icloud the Freinds and Family groups check mark automatically too. So they look to me like they are "under" Icloud All group.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Kind Regards

  • My iphone is not syncing correctly with my itunes

    I cannot get itunes account to finish sync with new iphone! driving me crazy!! help!

    I have no idea what would be involved, but wouldn't it be possible to create an app that would provide a one-click solution?
    (a) A date. Do not load emails prior to xx/xx/xxx.
    (b) A multi-mail edit that automatically trashes all email prior to that moment.
    I'm also tired of seeing last week's emails load and load and load.
    Thanks!

  • Iphone 4S Not Syncing Correctly

    Apple!!
    Thank you very much NOT.
    Since ios 7 has been released I have had nothing but problems and it has not improved with the release of ios 7.0.3.
    I am unable to sync my phone at all.
    I purchased an audiobook through itunes store and downloaded it to my laptop, as usual, then tried to sync it.  Not only did I discover that nothing was actually syncing and the audiobook did not get transferred to the phone but the audiobook that I was part way through will not now play.
    I have tried all sorts of fixes but nothing has worked.
    Question 1:  Can anyone suggest something not obvious that I could try?
    Question 2: When will ios 7.0.4. be released and will it sort out this latest fup?

    I realize this is kind of an old post, but did you ever find an answer?
    Ever since upgrading to mavericks, I am unable to sync music/photos to my phone or iPad correctly. If i purchase new songs or take new pictures it's no problem, but if i try to remove playlists, or photo albums they don't get removed after syning.

  • IPhone Calendar not syncing correctly with iCal since Lion-install

    Since installing Lion, the calendar on my iPhone is not syncing correctly:
    Events created on my iPhone don't show on my Mac
    Events edited on my iPhone don't change on my Mac
    Events that I created in iCal on my Mac, for test-purposes, and then deleted immediately, show up on the iPhone when syncing.
    Syncing through iTunes (not MobileMe).
    Using WeekCal on my iPone, but it seems that the same is the case with the "original" calendar-app.
    No similar experience prior to Lion-install.
    iPhone is iOS 4.3.4 -up to date
    Any ideas? Does anybody know how to reset the sync, for instance?

    Hi, my name is Lucas, i'm an Apple Certified Technitian.
    Last couple of weeks i've installed OSX Lion in a few Macs.
    But one of them drove me crazy!
    I have a Late 2007 White Macbook and i installed OSX Lion last week. I also have an iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) that i also updated to IOS 4.3.5 ... no problems syncing between them
    Then i did the same with a 13'' Unibody MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4 (not unlocked)... no problems neither
    Yesterday i installed Lion on a Mid2010 15" MacBook Pro and updated another iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) to IOS 4.3.5 and when i tried to sync the iphone with iTunes 10.4 nothing happened.
    I mean, nothing.. the iTunes started syncing and when it gets to sync the calendars it stayied there forever.
    I left it for hours and nothing.
    As i said i'm an ACT so i tried everything.
    1- Remove Calendars from iPhone and syncing again
    1- Repair Permittions
    2- Reinstall iTunes
    3- Reset iTunes and iCal Preferences and Caches
    4- Backup iCal - erase ical content and generate a new iCal database
    5- Reset Syncing Prefs and logs
    6- Use DiskWarrior from an external OSX
    7- Reset PRAM
    Nothing worked.
    I thought it could be some conflict with Microsoft Outlook and/or Exchange server since this Mac is the only one of the three macs i installed that uses Outlook Sync and Exchange server and it's the only one that gave me trouble.
    But disableing it didn't worked neither.
    THE SOLUTION
    I Already solved this thing out. But i still don't understand the logic of all this... anyway, what y did is this:
    1- turn off microsoft outlook sync with iCal (from outlook preferences)
    2- Backed up iCals (Just in case)
    3- Create a new Calendar Category (by default you have Work and Home... i created one called Test)
    4- i Created a new task at that calendar
    5- In iTunes uncheck the "Sync iCal" box and sync the iPhone
    6- Check th "Sync iCal" box, then check the "sync the selected calendars" box
    7- Check the "Test" calendar and sync the iPhone.
    This worked so i started creating task in this Test Calendar both in iphone and mac, just to test it, Worked fine.
    Then i selected all the other calendars (Home - Work - etc) and i turned on the outlook sync
    Then i synced the iPhone and Voilà everything is working again.
    Now i can create task in outlook calendar and when y sync the iphone it appears on it.
    I don't know what the problem is... but this looks like the solution
    HOpe it works for you!

  • TS1347 just recently my iphone is not syncing calendar to my macbook.  It has worked all along until about a week ago.  It does transfer new items from the computer to the iphone but not from the iphone to the computer.

    just recently my iphone is not syncing calendar to my macbook.  It has worked all along until about a week ago.  It does transfer new items from the computer to the iphone but not from the iphone to the computer.

    Plug you iPhone into your computer, select the iPhone, select the photos tab. Now check (not uncheck) the sync photos from... Select the folder where the photo came from, click apply then sync, now uncheck the sync photos box, click apply, it will ask you if you want to remove the photos click remove, it will not delete other photos exept the ones in the folder that was synced. Then click sync and the photos will be removed

  • Events created by iphone do not sync  to my macbook through itunes

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my IPhone and my MacBook.  I use to work with my IPhone (photos, calendar, mail...) and then when I go home I sync it to my MacBook through ITunes as always.  But two weeks ago I realize that the events I was creating in ICal by my IPhone doesn't pass to ICal in my MacBook.
    I tried to fix it using iSync as someone told me, but it doesn't work.
    Can someone tell me if he had the same problem and how to solve it?
    Thanks,
    JL.

    The calendar that you are adding events to must be in the "iCloud" section of the Calendars app, not in something like "On my iPhone".  Could this be the problem?
    Otherwise be sure both mac and device are connected to the same icloud account.  Check Settings>icloud and System Preferences>icloud, and be sure both those pages have Calendars turned on.
    If these don't solve things, then to test whether it's the iphone or mac that's the problem, using the mac's safari, log into icloud.com with your account ID and look at the Calendars page.  If the events are not listed, then the iphone is not set correctly.  If they are there, then the mac is not set correctly.

  • Outlook 2007 and iPhone Calendar All-Day events not displaying correctly

    I recently took the 3.1.3 update for my iphone and have since noticed that syncing all-day events from my Outlook 2007 exchange environment to the iphone is not working correctly. The all-day flag on the iphone is not being checked, thus the event shows up all over the calendar instead of just a single item at the top of the calendar. This only happens for multi-day events. Single-day, all day events show fine. Here's the tests I did:
    1. Created a single day, all-day event for tomorrow June 18 in Outlook 2007. Made sure that they all-day checkbox was checked in Outlook. Waited for the sync and it shows up fine in iPhone calendar. There is a single line at the top of the "Day" view that lists the event. When you look at the event, the all-day checkbox is checked in iphone calendar.
    2. Next I updated the event in Outlook to make it a multi-day, all day event. I changed the end date to be June 19. I made sure to leave the all day checkbox checked in Outlook. Once synced, the all day checkbox on the iphone is now unchecked and as a result the event takes up the whole "Day" view for both days.
    Is there a solution for this? Only seen this since I updated to the 3.1.3 firmware. All events show up the right way in Outlook. It is only the iPhone calendar that shows them wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Same problem here.
    All Day events entered in Outlook 2007 on my work machine that have ALL DAY checked and are only on that ONE Day, seem to come out fine. If however we have an all-day event that goes multiple days, then it enters it on my iphone taking up 00:00-00:00, which is very messy if you have two ALL-day envents on the same day (when tracking different personnel for example).
    I have noticed the real annoying item though is that changing it on my iPhone 4 directly, that once I put in the right start and end dates, and choose ALL DAY, about 5 seconds later it actually changes the START DAY! This makes you go back to change the start day, then it changes the end day so you change that, and now finally all sorted.
    This NEVER happened on my iPhone3G that I have used with Excahgne for over two years now. Only since I got my iPhone4.
    PLEASE Apple, fix this!!!!

  • One of my playlists in iTunes is not syncing correctly to my iPhone

    When my iPhone updated to iOS 7 a while back, I started having a problem with one of my Playlists. I was willing to ignore it for a while, but it's become enough of a nuisance that I'm seeking a solution.
    I have a smart playlist called "Unrated", which I've set to contain any "Media Kind is Music" and "Rating is (none)". Before iOS 7, this correctly filtered to only new, unrated songs I'd recently added to my iTunes library, letting me play them on my iPhone and rate them as I went along. After iOS 7's update, however, the list still filters correctly within iTunes, but not when I sync my phone to it.
    First, there seemed to be a random sampling of hundreds of songs showing up in playlist on my phone, even though I'd rated them. Eventually, I figured out that problem: I was syncing only some of my library to my phone because of space limitations, and any song I'd purchased from iTunes (not ripped from CD) was showing up there even if it wasn't really on my phone. I tried adding a condition to my smart playlist to weed out the iCloud (a feature I don't want to use because of cell data rates), and that still didn't work, so finally I just ended up adjusting my sync requirements to make sure that every song I'd purchased from iTunes was always synced to my phone. That took care of the rated songs appearing... but left my Unrated playlist completely empty. Even truly unrated songs I added to the library would show up in iTunes but not on my phone.
    So I did some searching of the forums here, and read about the "dummy playlist" solution. Set up your intended playlist (the one I described above), then set up ANOTHER playlist whose only conditions are "Playlist is (the other playlist)", and that should work. But I tried that, and the newly created playlist didn't even appear on my iPhone at all.
    Thoughts? Help? Bug that Apple's going to have to fix? Please?

    Hi all.  I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues.  Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
    But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem.  …without even a re-boot.
    Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
    Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive.  Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab.  Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
    Open the Users folder.
    Open your user folder
    Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
    Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
    Open the Installer Cache folder
    In Details view sort on Name
    Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
    Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
    When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco.  The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”.  Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
    I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
    For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear.  Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
    Good luck…

  • IPhoto events not syncing correctly with iPhone

    Hello,
    Basically, my iPhoto events are not syncing correctly with my iPhone. Some events will sync, whereas others won't, though no error messages are ever displayed.
    I have all my photos, 961 photos in 34 events, organised in iPhoto, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognise all of these events, only reporting 881 photos. I've got iTunes set up to "Sync photos from iPhoto - All events" and this works for most events, but not all.
    On my iPhone, I can tell which events are missing, but no matter how many times I restart my Mac or sync my iPhone, it refuses to sync the few missing albums. There is over 4Gb of available space left on the iPhone, so this shouldn't be an issue.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Peter.

    Any ideas, please? I hope I explained my issue clearly enough.
    Thank you,
    Peter.

  • Multiple Exchange calendars not syncing correctly

    Hi,
    I'm having a strange issue with syncing calendars from my iPad and iPhone to our Exchange server.  I have three calendars in Exchange, which I'll call Calendar1, Calendar2 and Calendar3. Calendar1 was my original calendar, and I added the other two later.
    I have my Exchange account set up on my iPad and iPhone. Calendar1 syncs correctly in all directions. If I create an appointment in Outlook in Calendar2 or Calendar3, the appointment appears on my iPhone and iPad, as it should. The problem is that if I create an appointment on the iPad or iPhone in Calendar2 or Calendar3, the appointment never appears in Outlook or on the other device.
    I did a test with someone else whose company has Exchange Server 2010, and Outlook 2010, and everything worked correctly with all calendars.
    Here's what I'm using:
    iPhone 4, updated to iOS 5
    iPad, still at iOS 4
    Exchange Server 2003
    Outlook 2007
    Any thoughts? Thanks!
