Calendar syncing problems with laptop and iphone

Calendar entries on my iphone don't find their way to my ical on my laptop. When i connect and sync all ical entries are double entered on my phone. Please can anyone help.
Driving me mad as i just can't rely on it!

I think this might be the same problem I'm having, except that I'm having the same problem with both the calendar and the address book. I know things are syncing correctly between my work laptop, my home laptop, my home desktop, and MobileMe. My problem is with my phone. Everything synced fine until I upgraded to version 3. Then the phone would not update at all. I've tried to turn on the Contacts and Calendars in the Settings, but the "switches" won't stay ON. The Mail switch stays on with no problem. I finally forced the phone to sync through iTunes, but then I had double entries in the calendar and double contacts (on the phone only). So .. how to I get it to sync automatically, and how do I get rid of the double entries and contacts? Should I completely delete my account on my phone, and start over? I don't want to mess something up.

  • Calendar syncing problems with outlook and iphone

    Months and months ago I had the following window pop up when I go to sync my phone:
    "synching with iphone will change more than XX% of your calendars"
    First I have to say the vagueness of Apples messages is disappointing.  This message does not convey to me exactly what its going to do if I accept the message.  This is my first apple product and I love my iphone, but itunes and everything related to the PC is disappointing!  Anyway, I have been hitting cancel because when I attempt to lookup the problem online in a Google search I don't find any quick definitive answers.  I no longer use outlook on this computer, so I want all the calendar entries in the phone to remain the same.  I've attempted to uncheck calendar syncing and get the following message:
    "Itunes will no longer sync calendars to the Iphone.  Would you like itunes to remove calendars previously synced to you iphone"
    Once again, the infamous apple user friendliness I've heard so much about doesn't seam to be true!  This message is so vague.  What calendars is it going to remove, the ones on the pc or the phone?  And why would it remove anything, I just want it to stop syncing.  Urg, frustraded.  Any help is appreciated!  Thanks.

    Originally all of Apple products were intended for use with Mac computers. Macs have default program - iCal to sync calendars. Windows default program is ironically Microsoft Outlook. There couple more options in iTunes for
    calendar sync, but those need to be chosen and not default.
    In your particular situation since you don't have outlook anymore, you don't need to make any changes. No outlook - no sync. Apple way - no user interference nessesary.
    Please do remember that everyting I write is just my opinion, nothing more or less.

  • Sync contacts on laptop and iPhone

    How do I sync my contacts with laptop and iPhone over iCloud? Updated contacts 24 hours ago on laptop, iPhone contacts didn't change. What do I do?

    It's either the connection from the laptop to icloud or from icloud to iphone that's the problem.  To find the answer, do the following...
    Using a computer's browser log into icloud.com and then look at the contacts page.  If the edits show up there, then the problem is from icloud to iphone.  If edits are not there, then the problem is from laptop to icloud.
    Whichever device the problem points to, verify that it is logged into the right icloud account and that Contacts is turned on.  (System preferences>icloud on mac or Settings>icloud on ios device.

  • Can I sync a desktop, laptop and iPhone?

    I want to sync my desktop, laptop and iPhone - I am able to sync 2 of the 3 - but not all 3 of them.
    Is it possible to sync them all?
    If not, if I bookmark something on the one that isn't synced, then it won't be added to my iphone (for example).
    Thank you!
    Kayci

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

  • Syncing "Outlook"with iPad and iPhone

    I have just purchased MacBook Pro and installed on it MS Office Business, using Office as my mail and Calendar. Also have iPad and iPhone.
    What I'd like to do is to sync' all three with Outlook and bypass iCal which is on the MacBook. Each time I sync' with iTunes and iCloud it seems to sync with iCal which I don't want to use
    Any help will be great, many thanks.   Ron Smith

    Ron..
    You may get more feedback from iCloud helpers if you post in that community here.
    I think one of the problems is that you are syncing with both iTunes and iCloud. That's not necessary. iCloud will sync your computers and devices via Wi-Fi.
    But try the iCloud community.

  • IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

    I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Chuck

    You're welcome.
    You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
    Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

  • Sync Problem with Outlook and Blackberry Calendars

    I am hoping someone has an "easy" solution to this problem.
    I am using Desktop Sync (BIS) and synching it to my work Outlook 2007 mailbox.
    Normally my calendar entries should sync to the Blackberry calendar associated with my work email address. Somehow, over the course of the past several days, some of my syncing was occuring with the the VZW Blackberry calendar. I didn't catch the problem in time and now I have work calendar entries correctly listed on my Blackberry, but in two different calendars.
    I have since lost some of those entries originally created in Outlook. They are on the Blackberry, but on the wrong Calendar. When I sync with Desktop, the work entries on the VZW Calendar are not getting over to Outlook.
    So the question is - is there a way to "move" the entries in one BB calendar, over to the other calendar? Thanks.

    I would love to know the answer to this problem as well.  I had the same problem even when I downgraded back to 5.0.  It always worked fine before.  Very Frustrating.  To get around it clearing out all the settings on my handheld.  I just have to click no every time it asks if I want to clear all databases on the phone before sync.  It still syncs but doesn't change my settings.  Annoying but works until they get this aggravation fixed. 

  • IPhone 3Gs syncing problems with PC and photos

    An executive at my company is experiencing syncing issues with his photos on his PC and iPhone 3Gs. He's gone to the Apple Store and met with a Genius Bar consultant and they've already wiped the phone "clean" and still is unable to sync his photos to his iPhone. Any suggestions or fixes are greatly appreciated. He recently upgraded his laptop to Windows 7, could that be a contributing factor? Thank you.

    Unlikley it's Windows 7.  Maybe delete the iPod photo cache?... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Calendar sync broken Outlook 2007 and iPhone 4.1

    If I add a new Calendar event on my iPhone, it does not synch over to Outlook Calendar. If I add new event to my Outlook Calendar, it does not synch over to iPhone. Same with deleted events. Everything else, including Contacts, syncs OK. The combination (iPhone/Outlook/Vista) has been working flawlessly for past 9 months.
    I tried the following experiment: (1) I deleted all events from my (backed up) Outlook Calendar created one event and it synced OK (it was addedto my existing iPhone calendar events.) (2) I checked Replace Information on the iPhone and synced again. As expected, all calendar events on iPhone disappeared except for the one event. (3) I reloaded my Outlook calendar from backup,did another sync (did not check the Replace box) and a few random events (from amongst hundreds) got transferred from Outlook to iPhone. (4) I deleted all calendar events from iPhone, retored the iPhone from backup, createda few new entires on iPhone and Outlook, did a sync the problem persisted: no new entries got moved from iPhone to Outlook for from Outlook to iPhone.

    You helped me so much with your previous 2 posts! Thank you!
    I have followed nearly alll your ideas (did the scanpst.exe but not the different pc, did do the different user). I figured it could be my outlook, itunes, or useraccount.
    In the new outlook with the new itunes in the new user: No problem!
    So I checked my old .pst file and made this the standard in Outlook. Still no problem. iTunes wouldn't budge. So back to my own user account. Blegh...
    So I removed iTunes completely, following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 (Vista).
    After installing iTunes again (first restarting my laptop) I first set my map to the 'old' iTunes map in Music. My Outlook was still the 'old' pst I used before. However: it worked! Had to sync twice the first time, but the last hour or so it worked like it should!
    Thank you so much!
    Oh, and that other problem I know just as well. What I did:
    1 - make sure there is nó other .pst in Outlook.
    2 - sync
    3 - then have both the first checkmark (sync calendar with outlook) filled in, as well as the desired calender AND the 'replace data' for agenda at the bottom of the page.
    4 - sync
    5 - if this didn't work, repeat step 3 with the bullet for ALL calendars selected as well as the replace data (or what's it called in English) checked.
    6 - sync
    Hope this will help. I had to do this a couple of times, with both outlook and the app calender off. Then restarted both the iPhone and my laptop, did these steps again and voilá...
    Please let me know if it worked for you!
    And thank you again.

  • HT4759 Contact sync problem Dell PC and Iphone 5c

    My Dell laptop with windowns 7and IPhone 5c will no longer sync contacts.  The calendar still syncs with no problem.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    You should ALWAYS maintain a backup.
    The iphone will only sync to one computer at a time. When you sync to another it will delete the music/vids/apps/etc from the iphone first.
    You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer. then you can sync ( erasing the iphone) and the purchases will be on the computer (itunes) so you can put them back on the iphone.

  • Problems with iPad and iPhone... new appointments in grey color after creating on my book...

    I have some problems with Calendar application on my iPhone and iPad under iOS 6 with Microsoft Exchange 2010 accounts
    When I create new appointment on my MacBook in iCal or in Outlook when new appointment have one or more recipients then after synchronization on my mobile devices I see new appointment in grey color but not in color of my calendar... color changes to right color only after saving some changes to appointment on mobile device but only on this device

    but you should have a backup in itunes.
    Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
    And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
    But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app!   Good Luck!

  • Calendar sync problem with Mail for Exchange

    I have troubles syncing my calendar with Mail for Exchange.
    I've configured MfE the same way I did on my N8-00 and it worked perfectly there. On my new N9 it just syncs Mail and the ToDo list of from the Exchange Server. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
    Also, when I remove my MfE settings, the Calendars still are in the Calendar App. How can I delete them?

    Hi, 
    There could be some problem with the contact sync, because you had synched with MFE . Remove the existing sync for Mail for exchange and then try creating a new sync and then check, That should maybe solve the issue. 
    I had mfe configured and then removed and now then i sync with the Address book and Ical. Seems to be working fine for me, just that i use a N95.
    Hopefully it fixes, let me know the outcome.
    Cheers
    Sandy 
    Helpful information, then dont forget to hit the kudos star :-) Or say it accepted solution and thanks

  • Calendar Sync Problems with mail for exchange on e...

    Hello!
    I upgraded my Nokia e52 to Software version 033.002.216.01 but now I am unable to sync with my mail for exchange Calendar. Settings are correct (in calendar settings Default mailbox is Mail for Exchange and in Email settings Calendar sync is "Yes") and I am still able to sync e-mail, but not calendar items.
    Can anyone help me with this issue? Does anyone have the same problem after software upgrade?

    I haven't solve the problem yet. Waiting for new firmware, might be it will solve the problem...

  • Sync problems with music and podcasts

    Hi there,
    whenever I put new content to the music playlists or I got new podcasts loaded down by iTunes to sync them to the iPhone, the first sync process breaks down. The iPhone applies again after 10 seconds in a locked condition so I have to unlock it fisrt to keep on syncing.
    I always have to sync twice to get a result. For example, to get new songs to the iPhone, first I have to put the songs on the iTunes playlist, then I have to sync with a disabled checkbox at "music" (the complete music will be erased at the iPhone) and then I have to sync again with an enabled checkbox (complete music will be sync comletely new at the iPhone).
    It takes a lot of time to do the sync process in this way, can anybody help me? Am I doing something wrong?
    Best regards

    Another user recently reported a similar problem and it turned out to be an issue with email.
    What I would do would be to turn off all syncing except for music and podcasts, reset your phone (perhaps even restore) and try the sync and see if it works. If it does at least you can narrow it down to something other than music and podcasts.

  • Sync problems with itunes and latest IPod nano

    Hello,
    I have the latest IPod touch and later purchase the latest IPod Nano for GF. My problem is I can't sync itunes with Nano, my current itunes library is sync with my IPod touch.
    How can we manage a reciprocity where itunes enables accessibility for Nano to sync with my itunes library has it does recognize my IPod Touch.
    Hope you understand my problem, looking for your kind assistance.
    Thank you,
    Frank   

    There should be no problems connecting and syncing two different iPods with one iTunes library.  In fact there is NO limit to the number of iPads, iPhones, and iPods you can sync to one computer/iTunes library.
    There are several ways to manage multiple devices with one library.  All of them are described in more detail in this Apple support document.
