Calendar problem on iPhone

I have an iMac and MacBook. The calendars work great on both. My iPhone calendar shows a subscribed calendar as a MobileMe calendar. I have this subscribed calendar on the iMac and MacBook and the info is correct - I've checked, it's my daughters calendar.
If I add her calendar as a subscription on my iPhone, it shows both as a subscription and as a MobileMe calendar. Plus, the information on my iPhone is not always correct. One item she added as a recurring event on Saturdays and then changed each individual event time and place. This changed information shows on the iMac and MacBook but not on my iPhone.
Almost seems like a bug to me but I will appreciate any and all suggestions.
Thanks,
Pat K

Based on your response it sounds like this particular featureset is a bit more capable and complex than I'd originally hoped.
I didn't recall choosing any city while in Spain, as the time on the phone updated on its own, and I hadn't started sync'ing the calendar with Outlook yet at that point.
When I returned home, I did my first calendar sync, and again hadn't chosen any city upon return, then after choosing a local city, the time corrected.
Everything is working fine now (as it wasn't posted as a question) but this is a discussion I hadn't found on here and thought it was a worthwhile discussion to have since I surely can't be the only person whose run into the misunderstanding in functionality.

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

Problems syncing new google calendar delegates to iPhone 3

I got a iPhone 3 a few months ago and had no problem setting up calendar so that all of my google calendar delegates are visible in both iCal and on my iPhone. I haven't had any problems with getting events to update on all of my calendars regardless of which program I use to create/ edit the event, until now. I recently created a new google calendar delegate. I can access the delegate in both iCal and on google but for some reason I can't get the new delegate to sync to my iPhone. I've tried to edit the settings in all of the programs, i've edited events on the new calendar on google on my iPhone, on my computer and on iCal but I still can't get it to show up in calendar on my iPhone. Any suggestions on fixing this problem?

I didn't know it was possible. How do I find an option to subscribe to a new calendar from within the iPhone? I've always subscribed via synching.

Any help would be much appreciated!
Edit: the iPhone calendar works perfect with my MobileMe account, but I want it on Gmail as well ( if not both is possible I would prefer Gmail )

I tryed to add my gmail account to the microsoft exchange as it says in on of the links above, but the only thing that happend was that i got all of the email contact on gmail addon on my iPhone, which was really annoying since i cant call an email adress.
Anothing thing I would like to add is that i also would like to sync my contacts to Gmail.
I am fully aware that I have MobileMe, but I would like to have it synced to Gmail because thats what I use each day and I have 2-step-authentication.

How can I transfer calendars from my iPhone to ical on my Macbook?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer calendars which appear in ical on my iPhone to ical on my Macbook? There doesn't seem to be an option for this in iTunes or iCal. I have a Macbook with 10.5.8 OSX, and I have icloud installed on my iPhone.
I hope someone can help!

I have the same problem. Have you gotten any answers? I thought that the merge option (which I found somewhere in iTunes Sync for my device/iPhone) would take the full calendar on my iPhone and "merge" it with the empty one on my iMac. The iMac is still empty.

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

How do I set my wife's iPhone to only see certain iCal calendars on her iPhone?

My wife and I just purchased 2 iPhone 4S's. We are sharing one Addple ID and one iCloud account with our iMac. I keep several iCal calendars, which were all created on our iMac. I am able to access them and get alerts from my iPhone with no problem. However, she also receives the tasks from all of the calendars on her iPhone as well. Even after I click the calendar icon on her iPhone > go to the iCloud calendars and uncheck all of my calendars, my tasks still keep showing up on her phone. How can I set it so she only sees calendars she'd created or those that are intended to be shared? Do we have to have 2 Apple IDs and/or iCloud IDs for this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm not sure why when you uncheck the calendars on her phone that the calendars are still visible within the app, that isn't supposed to be the way it works.
Why are you averse to having individual iCloud accounts.

ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC

ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC.
I have tried a number of things such as:
Repairing the outlook.pst file with scan pst.exe. This did not work.
Uninstalling all apple software on the PC and then reinstalling it. This did not work.
Turning addins off and on in outlook. This did not work.
Changing outlook.pst files. This did not work.
Replacing iPhone content with content on PCM. This did not work.
Restoring the iPhone does not work.
Nothing works.
I have been working on this issue for a couple of days. It is driving me crazy. I am inches from formatting my hard drive.
Everything worked fine until the most recent iTunes update.

Same here. Spent about an hour trying various solutions to similar problems on other forums before discovering this one, which matches my symptoms exactly. iPad doesn't have this issue, only iPhone 4S.
My iTunes Match renews in two days. This is about the umpteenth disappointment with the service. I almost certainly won't be renewing now.

Syncing Outlook 2007 Calendar to my iPhone - HELP

Does anyone know the answer to this question below? I got my iPhone last Friday, immediately activated it, all went very smooth and very quick. When it came to syncing contacts and calendar, it did not work so well. Over the last week on multiple calls with Apple and Microsoft Technical Support, I was able to fix the contacts not syncing issue and all is working great. As for the calendar, I still am having problems and wondering if "ANYONE" has the answer? Initially I could not get any calendar events to sync. After exporting my entire calendar (530 items) to my desktop as a .CSV file, deleting my calendar off the corporate server and importing it back in, it finally brought over all my calendar events minus any recurring appointments. I am hearing it will "not" allow you to sync recurring appts which is a REAL PROBLEM!!
I still have a problem in that if I add a new event on my Outlook Calendar, sync both Outlook and the iPhone, it will not add the even to my iPhone.
If I add an event on the iPhone and do the syncs, it puts it on the Outlook Calendar. This is the craziest thing I have ever heard of.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A WORKING SOLUTION?????

If you are still having a problem synchronizing the Outlook Contacts and Calendar to the iPhone, even with the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3), the following steps may help. I've found these steps are the fastest solution until Apple releases a fix; hopefully with the next editions of iTunes.
Again, perform the following if, each time you try to synchronize your Contacts and Calendar from Outlook 2003 (or perhaps even Outlook 2007) to your iPhone nothing happens.
A. Open iTunes
B. Open Outlook 2003
C. In Outlook 2003...
1. Enter Tools -> Options
2. Select Other
3. Select Advanced Options
4. Select COM Add-Ins
5. Select Outlook iTunes Sync Addin
6. Click OK
7. Click COM Add-Ins again and verify "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" is still selected; if it’s not selected perform these optional
steps, however if it is selected skip these optional steps and move on to step 8.
Optional Steps – Only necessary to perform this if the "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" does not remain selected after following the
previous steps
Still in Outlook 2003…
a. Enter Help -> About Microsoft Office Outlook
b. Enter Disabled Items
c. Enable the "Addin: outlook itunes sync adding (outlooksyncclient.dll)
d. Click Close
e. Click OK
f. Start at the beginning of these steps
8. Click OK
9. Click OK
10. Click OK
11. Leave Outlook 2003 open
D. In iTunes…
1. Synchronize the iPhone
2. Everything selected should be synchronized. That should include Calendar and Contacts if those are selected.
3. You can then close or leave iTunes open; doesn't matter
4. Move on to the next set of steps.
E. In Outlook 2003...
1. Enter Tools -> Options
2. Select Other
3. Select Advanced Options
4. Select COM Add-Ins
5. Un-Select Outlook iTunes Sync Addin
6. Click OK
7. Click OK
8. Click OK

How can I remove seemingly "non-deletable" calendars on my iPhone 4S?

How do I delete multiple calendars from my iPhone that were left in the wake of switching to iCloud (from MobileMe) then back out—since I'm not up to 10.7 on my Mac yet?

Yaaaay, a solution!!! :-) After reading

Re: Deleting calendars in iPhone
Aug 21, 2008 7:08 PM (in response to TX iMAC)
You can't do it on the phone, but you can in iTunes. When your phone is connected to iTunes, click on the info tab. Under calendars, check only the calendars you want to sync to the phone.
No wonder I was having this mulitple calendars problem ~ I'd had opted to sync "All calendars". But once I checked individual calendars in "Selected Calendars" and sync'd that to my phone the 'multiples' went away!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Various problems with iPhone 3G

I got my iPhone on September 17th. Since then, I have had the following problems:
1) Dropped calls
2) Delays in getting/sending text messages - sometimes they come all at once, sometimes they wait an hour to be delivered
3) It crackles when I hold the phone up to my ear; on speaker, it sounds clear as a whistle
4) I ripped some videos to my iPhone. Two of them lost sound after about 10 seconds. I restarted them and they played no sound at all. Left it alone for a night, the next day it happened again. After a while, the sound returned.
5) Sometimes the screen doesn't adjust when I view a web page and turn the phone sideways.
6) My apps randomly stop working. I click on them, they open briefly to where the screen goes black but the date bar stays on the top. They don't load - they quit. After a while, they start working again.
7) The other day, the battery died after 7 hours. I was using 3G and using data about a total of 1.5 hours that day. The phone's battery died at 2:30 that day. I had charged the phone all night through the MacBook's USB port, so it had a fully charged battery.
8) At times, the phone says "No Service" when I'm standing in a spot that has had service at other times.
9) Today, during a call, the screen went black and I couldn't respond to the phone prompts. I couldn't turn off the phone, I couldn't return to the home screen, I couldn't tap the screen to awaken it. After 4 minutes, it let me operate it again.
I charge it nightly through the MacBook Pro. I have iTunes 8 and the most current software for the iPhone. I went to AT&T and told them my problems. They basically said they couldn't do anything and encouraged me to call Apple and see about getting a new phone. I have family that has the iPhone 3G and they have had none of these problems. Oh, and the problems persisted AFTER I did a Restore on the phone 2 nights ago. What are the chances I can get Apple to send me a new phone or that I could stop by the store and exchange this one for a new one?

You're welcome.
Oh, and is there a way I can back up my contacts so I don't have to reenter them?
In regards to contact information and calendar events, the iPhone is designed to be synced with the supported application or applications on your computer. If you don't want to lose your iPhone contacts that are not available with the Address Book - having to manually reenter these on your iPhone again, you need to sync your iPhone with the Address Book on your Mac.
You can make use of an Address Book Group for your Address Book contacts that you want available on your iPhone only. Select this option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences - selecting the designated Address Book Group only for the contacts that you want available on your iPhone only. All contacts (currently in the Address Book on your Mac and the contacts that are currently available in your iPhone's address book that you manually entered on your iPhone) will be available in the Address Book on your Mac, but you can designate which Address Book contacts are available on your iPhone only by making use of an Address Book Group and selecting only that Group to be available with your iPhone's address book.

The calendar on my iPhone 4s suddenly went blank and says NoEvents anywhere. What happened and how do I get the information back?

The calendar on my iPhone 42 suddenly went blank and says No Events. How do I get my data back?

I've been having the same problem every 3-4 months: the calendar app seems to hang up, I either reset the app/phone or wait it out, then presto! all internal calendar entries have been deleted. Unlike others in this thread and elsewhere, I am not using iCloud.
Interesting fact: while following the suggestion to hide all calendars, then show all calendars, I noticed that the internal calendar option is MISSING. It's like it just doesn't identify that there ever WAS an internal calendar. Really? Argh.
Apple Support: are you guys monitoring this? I've seen a few similar postings, so I don't think we're alone...
Granted, I have more than a few entries - years of calendar/appointment history have been imported from my old Palm Treo. Thanks to slow performance and odd calendar app crashes, I am very well aware that the iPhone's calendar isn't nearly up to the task of handling this many entries, and have been working to get the quantity of entries down. I must be up near some threshold, as response time seems to have improved with several deleted entries, though it was just before the crash+data loss.
Fortunately, I try to sync with my Outlook calendar nightly, so I do have a backup. However, this type of data loss and instability re VERY painful for those that actually USE and practically LIVE by their calendars. Here's hoping I can remember today's entry modifications...
One additional complaint: WHY can't I edit a recurring appointment WITHOUT it creating a NEW one? Crazy... For all the things this smartphone does well, it does several things VERY stupidly.
