Calendar syncing Iphone/Entourage/Ical/Lion OX 10.7.2

Ok - so this is driving me a little crazy.
I upgraded from Leopard 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6 and finally to Lion 10.7.2.
Upgraded my iphone to IOS 5.0
I use Entourage as my primary email and calendar.
I clicked the synchronize contacts and also calendars in the preferences panel under sync services.
What are the correct settings in;
Iphone
Entourage
Ical
Any where else
For my Iphone, Ical and Entourage Calendars to always be in sync?
I want to be able to make changes from my phone and from Entourage. I never change a thing in Ical, I just use it for syncing.
Also, why can I not find the invitees option in my Iphone Calendar? Does it need to be switched on somewhere in the settings??
PLEASE HELP!?

Sorry that I did not mention that the problem with iCal is happening in my MacBook air, not in the iPhone.
Regards.

  • Why does my google calendar sync perfectly to iCal on my Macbook Pro but not my iPhone 4?

    The question as title is basically my problem.  Before I got my MacBook Pro I used my iPhone 4 (with iOS 5) to use the iCal app to edit my google calendar.  Events synced perfectly.  After getting my MacBook Pro things still seemed fine as well.  I was editing my calendar on iCal on my MacBook Pro, on Google's on-line Calendar App from other computers, and also on my iPhone 4 through the iCal App.  Suddently events were not syncing any longer.  I don't know what is the problem.  Things changed on iCal on the MacBook Pro still syncs to Google's online Calendar App and vise versa, but I can't do a thing with my iPhone 4 iCal. 
    Any suggestions?  I've tried deleting and resyncing my google account to my iPhone without any success.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Matt,
    I found my own solution to this problem and I think you can get it to work as well.  The thing is that you'll need to make your Google calendar your only calendar.  This means that you'll not want to have a Home or Work iCal because that stuff may not sync well with your Google calendar, but the Google Calendar data will appear within iCal on your iOS and Mac computer without any problems. 
    Before you do any thing I suggest, you must make sure that everything that you want on your calendar is on your on-line Google calendar.  If something is not there and you want it there, the thing you'll need to do is manually add it.  There is no work around that I have found for this.
    Next, on your computer:
    1. Go to System Preferences > iCloud
    2. Make sure that Calendars is not selected.  You don't want your computer or iOS devices to be confused with the iCal Home / Work, etc. calendars.  So let's not sync them.
    3.  Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    4.  Delete Your Google account there
    5.  Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    6.  Re-add your Google account
    Now you should be able to go into iCal on your computer and find that your Google calendar is there. 
    You will need to do a similar thing with your iOS device.
    1.  Settings > iCloud > Turn off 'Calendars'
    2.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Delete Gmail Account
    3.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Re-add Gmail Account
    This should make it so that you can use your Google calendar and it will be synced to your Mac computer, iOS device, and the Internet (Google's Calendar Website).
    You can see that this is in a sense a workaround in that you can't sync your iCal Home/Work calendars (or other calendars) created with iCloud to Google.  I'm thinking that's the problem I ran into before.  Anyway it works for me because I only need the one calendar and others are using Google that I need easy access to. 
    Let me know if you run into problems and remember you need to confirm that all your data is saved on the google calendar on-line (you can check through Google's website) before doing any of the steps above. 

  • I just wiped out my ENTIRE Entourage calendar syncing it with iCal.  Help!

    Hey there. I'm using Entourage 2004 and I foolishly decided to try syncing it with iCal using the Syncing pane in the Preferences Menu pictured below.
    When I opened iCal to have it sync there was a dialogue with three choices and I chose the one that would have seemed to do the least damage. I can't remember now. The problem is, it wiped out my ENTIRE Entourage calendar. I didn't find this out until now when I brought the computer out of sleep. The last 4.5 years are gone. Absolutely nothing is there and the Office Notifications doesn't even start up.
    Is there anyway to retrieve this at all? Can I rebuild the database or something? Anything? The kicker is iCal isn't even showing my dates from Entourage even though it started a new colour/calendar for it.
    Please help!

    if your phone is still turned on. for example......they overcharge you by $300 one month and just reduce the credit you will have with them. now 2 months before your contract is up, your credit is gone (because they overcharged). you still think you have $300 credit with them.....until they shut your phone off for not paying the bill. probably won't happen, but i just thought i'd throw a scenario out there, as it is very common to have disputes on cell phone bills.

  • Sync iPhone with iCal takes most recent update in either?

    I am seeing what appears some unpredictability on the above. I am not sure whether sync through iTunes makes sure to take most recent change in Calendar, be it through iCal or iPhone Calendar. Is there a special setting to ensure this happens?

    cschwanenberger,
    Are you using Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion on your computer? It is required to gain full iCloud calendar sync capability.
    If you are using Lion, what calendars do you have listed under the iCal "Calendars" tab? Only data entered under the iCloud category will sync with iCloud. Any data entered under the "On My Mac" category will not sync with iCloud.

  • Sync iphone with ical, sync iphone with ical

    How do i sync my iPhone with iCal on my Mac? 
    FYI I DO NOT want to use iCloud because MobileMe NEVER worked right for me.

    Dear Ferd II,
    Thanks for your pointout. It worked for me, though not the first time. I had my iTunes sync prefs set to sync automatically upon iPhone connection, but you can't access the "info" tab until it's connected. So my first time thru, I tried to click "replace calendar on iPhone one time from Mac" and then hit the "apply" button WHILE the sync was already in progress. It didn't like that, so I suggest to set those prefs in iTunes FIRST, then export and import the calenders along with the remove sync history via iSync, as per the instructions in the link you gave. My second time thru, using the prefs already preset, it all worked fine, and now the iPhone and iCal sync in both directions again.
    Awesome.

  • Syncing iPhone to iCal and Address Book and vice versa do not work

    I am a 6 year Mac user and a 1 1/2 year iPhone user. What I am about to tell you should have been addressed long ago. When I sync my iPhone to my iMac only the applications and music sync. Neither data from the iCal or Address Book sync either way. I used to be able to sync appointments from my original iPhone to iCal, but my 3G phone does not sync at all. Could you tell me where to turn or what to do. I think I need to fix it.
    And, how do I change the calendars on the iPhoen. All events are on the same calendar and I can't figure out how to specify a calendar for an event. You would think I would know this by now, but I don't......Thanks so much

    If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
    Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
    When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
    If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry.

  • HT1670 Sync iPhone/Entourage will only recognize one of my two iPhones?

    I have two iPhones. One I have managed to sync no problem, but the second is just not interested! A friend told me that with iPhone/Entourage will only recognize one iPhone, if so is there anything I can do to sync my second phone?

    Hi, Darcie13.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • Sync Exchange calendar to iPhone via iCal on a Mac

    My company uses Exchange 2007 for mail, contacts, calendar. Unfortunately, it does not support access to Exchange from the iPhone. For mail on the iPhone, I use the IMAP client which works well. For the contacts, Address Book can talk to our LDAP server. However, for calendar access, I'm stuck. I can see the Exchange events on my Mac iCal. Non-Exchange events sync across to the iPhone using MobileMe. The only way to get the Exchange events to the iPhone is via iTunes, which is not helpful since I don't want to have to do that continuously. Does anyone know how to sync Exchange events to an iPhone? Or any other solution?

    I have the same problem - is there a solution?

  • Calendar Sync Taking Forever (iCal)

    I'm trying to sync my iCal calendars and its taking forever to sync. I left it running for several hours and it did not stop. I fear burning the green battery in on my new iPhone's screen so I've stopped the sync several times.
    I tried it on my other computer (overwriting the old information) and it worked fine. On my powerbook I can't seem to get it to work.
    Could it be a problem with iCal? Is there any reset options in iCal or iLife that might help me? It's only my calendars. Contact, Bookmarks and email sync with no problem.
    Thanks in advance

    I experienced this problem as well, and after looking at various potential fixes, I found that I had to delete certain .plist files to make the sync function work again. This is a problem that the casual user should not have to address, and something that Apple will probably address (at least I hope) shortly.
    I'm up and running again, but I do note that my troubles didn't appear until I subscribed to some calendars off of the internet. I'm not going to do that again until this issue has been resovled. There are some other threads on this board that address the specific .plist files, so I'd go there first. If you don't understand what that post tells you to do, then I'd stay away from the fix.

  • Itunes does not sync iphone with ical

  • Unable to Sync Iphone 4s ical with mac (without iCloud)

    Hi there,
    I was able to sync perfectly all my iCal info back and forth between my iphone 4s and my Mac (OS X 10.8.5), but now it is impossible.
    Went through different discussions involving upgrading to Maverick but I really don't think I have done any upgrade (or is there something automatic I didn't quite get?).
    The option to sync the calendars in info in itunes is still there, and it does sync the iphone and the mac icals, but the events don't cross from one to the other.
    I gave a try to the iCloud, but honestly it is beyond the absolute opposite of anything practical or efficient. More important I travel a lot between countries with no wifi or internet connection whatsoever, so really need to go back to good ol' sync by usb, getting rid of the iCloud on the way. Can anyone advise how to?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • Exporting calendars from iPhone into iCal

    I reinstalled Snow Leopard the other day, and, like a dummy, I didn't backup my calendar files. Is there a way to transfer my iPhone calendar to iCal? Syncing in iTunes seems to write my iPhone over with nothing instead of the other way. Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

    I'm having the same problem as you both. I want to get my calendar off my iPod Touch to my home computer, in anticipation of Apple telling me when I can get my hands on a 4G in Canada. I don't want a MobileMe account either.
    I love everything Apple, but it gets frustrating at times, don't even get me started with iTunes.

    Apparently, from reading other threads asking this same question, Apple Level 2 Engineers at Apple Care have also been unable to perform this act, and so it is a known problem.. We'll apparently have to wait for a Software Update.
    Hope this helps
