Calendars and Contacts not syncing between iPhone and Mac

Hello.
I am using a MacPro4,1 (early 2009) running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.4.
In iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Calendars Settings are set to: Sync – All Events.
In iTunes, Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi is checked.
Calendar and Contacts aren't syncing, in neither direction, neither over Wi-Fi nor by cable. (I haven't, and won't try iCloud or however that thing is called now.)
No idea why. I'd be thankful for any hint.

so there's nothing but iCloud to do this? Is there a workaround? Or do I have to use either other a different set of applications, or another set of operating system and hardware? Not syncing is no option, iCloud isn't either, changing systems is.

  • Documents not syncing between iPhone and iPad

    I am encountering the most strange difficulty with iCloud, particularly Documents in the Cloud and the syncing of Numbers and Pages documents between iPad and iPhone. I do not use Keynote.
    I will try and describe the problem in as much detail as possible and explain everything I have tried to do.
    My goal is for documents I create on iPad to sync to iPhone, and vice versa, with changes appearing on both, and on iCloud.com. To clarify I'm not involving the Mac in anyway, I am aware this is a current limitation of Documents in the Cloud. Unless I'm missing something, what I want to do is what is advertised.
    - I am running the latest version of iOS on both iPad and iPhone.
    - I have the latest versions of Keynote and Pages on both.
    - I am logged in to iCloud on both iPad and iPhone with the same account
    - iCloud is working fine for all other purposes (Bookmark sync, PhotoStream etc)
    - Documents and Data is switched on, as is the option for Using Cellular Data
    - Use iCloud is set to ON under Pages and Keynote preferences
    - The arrow indicating a cloud document is on every document on both iPad and iPhone's icon, in the top right of each icon
    - In iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Manage Storage -> Documents & Data -> Numbers it displays all the expected documents.
    The current behaviour appears to be that I create a document on either device, and the document is PARTIALLY uploaded to iCloud. That is, it appears on iCloud.com under iWork, but when I click on any file it either says "Upload failed" or "Waiting" for each file.
    If I try and delete a document on iWork.com, it crashes the web app and does not delete the documents.
    Things I have tried to resolve:
    - Uninstalling and reinstalling Numbers and Pages on both devices
    - Soft resetting both devices
    - Disabling and re enabling Documents in the Cloud on both devices
    - Disabling and re enabling iCloud toggle in the individual app preferences on both devices
    - Deleting and readding iCloud account on both devices
    - A full restore then restoring from iCloud backup on both devices (yes, I actually did that)
    - A combination of the above in various sequence orders, none of which made any difference
    More information... one solution on the web pointed to the problem involving a duplicate account which could be deleted from the Mail settings, however I only have one configured account - my iCloud account. Just in case it matters, my iCloud email is an @mac.com address.
    I think I have covered everything. Any help would be appreciated since Apple themselves seemed pretty stumped on the phone, suggesting another restore, or setting the phone and iPad up as brand new devices. I'd really rather not until I've exhausted every possible outcome.
    Any help massively appreciated!!!

    How did you get this fixed? I have the same issue!!

  • My calendar is not syncing between iphone and Mac air on iCloud.

    Hi
    The calendar entries I am adding either on my iphone or mac air via icloud are not syncying between the devices. Is anyone else having this problem currently? If yes, how can it be resolved. I have deleted the account and added it back in but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Are all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud?  If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync.  Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync.  They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.

  • Notes not syncing between iPhone and iMac

    Syncing notes from my iphone to imac no longer works. I have all the right things checked in info (in itunes) and in my mail. I have talked to the experts at Apple support, and taken the iphone and imac into the apple store.  After trying lost of stuff (iSync, other settings, etc, new admin a account), it worked. Once. It worked at the store, but no longer works at home. I can get the notes to sync if I sign out of my admin account and sign back in, but I don't like doing that every time. I don't know why it worked just fine for awhile and then quit. Maybe after the last update.  Is it something to do with my POP account - comcast?  Does anyone have the same problem? An answer?

    I have a MacBook (OS X 10.9.3) an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) and an IMAP account (mail and notes boxes are checked on MacBook). On my iPhone the default account for Notes is set on IMAP. I am syncing via iTunes 11.2.1. It works for Calendar and Contacts but it does not sync Notes. I guess a made an error somewhere.
    Could someone  hep me? Thank you by advance.

  • Calendar times do not match between iphone and outlook

    I have an iPhone 4S, at work I use a PC and Outlook.  I have both my PC and my iPhone on the same time zone.  If I set an appointment in either calendar the time gets switched in the other.  For example:  I set an appointment in my iphone calendar for 11am.  One my outlook calendar it shows the same appointment at 10am.  Both systems are set to the same time zone, what gives?  How do I fix this?
    Another thing I should add is I am in Saskatchewan Canada.  We do not switch time for daylight savings in March an November. So when the time switched in November everthing works great, it is only between March and November whe this problem arrises.  Saskatchewan is a setting in timezones for bothe the iphone and outlook so I don't think this should matter.  Unless one of the companies does not know Saskatchewan does not change times.
    Any suggestions?

    Apple puts Saskatchewan into Central Standard Time, which isn't correct.  Then when it syncs to Outlook, Outlook puts the appointment into the CST time zone, instead of the Saskatchewan -6 time zone.  The problem is Apple's iCloud sending the wrong information to Outlook.
    Need a fix for this please.

  • Texts(iMessages) not syncing between iPhone and iPad. How can it be fixed?

    After installing IOS .7.2 update for version 7.0
    My texts no longer sync.
    Happens to sent  and received.
    I have texts on iPad thatt didn't arrive on my iPhone and vise versa.
    Internet all good on both.
    My texts usually come in at the same time to iPhone and iPad,  or a few seconds apart, if that
    They aren't updating. I get some, but not all. I'm carrying on two different convos on my phone or iPad with the same person, not realizing I've missed some of their texts.
    Besides the rests and restarts if which I've done to both, any suggestions on how I can fix this?
    Thanks

  • IMessage not syncing between iPhone and iPad

    Someone please help!!
    I recently got an iPad and have managed to set everything up but am having a problem with my iMessage. I am able to send and receive iMessages on both my iPad and iPhone but when this happens, it does not show up in the other device. So for example, I receive an iMessage on my phone but it will not display on my iPad.
    When I try to add an email address through iMessage>send and receive>add email, it is telling me my password is incorrect. I have tried changing my password and using a different email address but it won't work. Everything is set up fine on my iPad (I think!) but my iPhone is the problem.
    Any suggestions??
    Happy new year!

    I'm not sure about that. I think the caller ID just identifies where the message originates. I think this syncing problem is actually in the system and related to rolling out a new service.  Frankly, I have not been able to get consistent results.
    For example, last night I was sending iMessages to my iPhone to my wife's iPhone.  Both phones have caller ID set to phone number and the messages were sent to her phone number, not her Apple ID. The conversation thread show up on my iPad but not her iPad.  If I did the reverse, that is sent the message from her iPhone to mine, I still got the tread on my iPad but not her iPad. Conversations originating either iPad to either Apple ID synced just fine on all devices.
    That said, this morning, I tried the exact same thing - sending a message to her phone number from mine -- and this time my iPad did not sync as it did last night and her remained unresponsive.
    My conclusion: the service is behaving erratically and the only way to ensure a fully synced thread for now is make sure the conversation originates with a message to an Apple ID and not a phone number.

  • Notes not Syncing between iPhone and iPad

    Alright, I know there are tons of topic on this issue, but it's obviously still an issue and has yet to be fixed.
    YES- Both devices have iCloud enabled and Notes enebaled under the iCloud settings.
    YES- Both devices are using the same iCloud account.
    YES- The notes were syncing properly for a few days before they stopped, without expanation or reason.
    I've tried restarting both devices, no go. Both devices are right in front of me, on the same network even (although that shouldn't make a difference if it's working as intended). So, what's the issue? Like I said, it was working fine before suddenly stopping.
    Rant:
    Apple "prides" itself on being so user-friendly, but that's the opposite from the experiences I've had (signle example: one button does NOT make things simpler). All I can say is I'm glad I've avoided buying Apple products all these years (sans an iPod). All I have to do now is convince my job to stop buying Apple and switch to Android, which shouldn't be hard given the state of things.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    i appreciate you may have tried some of these, but....
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

    My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

    I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
    (We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.) 

  • Contacts not syncing - 2 iPhones, 3 Macs

    We have 1 old original 2G iPhone, and one 3G iPhone.
    3 Macs syncing together from one .Me account (Powerbook Pro G4, Mac Book Pro, Mac Mini)
    We are currently running the iPhones through 1 Mac, the Powerbook Pro G4, as I wanted to keep the MacBook clear for processing photos. We are using only one user account for this task.
    My problem is this.
    *My contacts are different on each currently!! This is despite syncing all across MobileMe on 1 account. Scarey.*
    My wife has new contacts she's added recently, that are not showing on mine, or the MacBook Pro. And in the last few days, some contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 3G.
    In a mild panic, I've backed up current Contacts on Cal, but how do I separately back up her iPhone when we're only using 1 user on iTunes to do this all?
    Also, I've seen another posting where someone recommends couples with 2 iPhones to set up 2 user accounts on the Mac in question being synced. Is this our best way forward?

    MobileSyncBrowser is used to retrieve data automatically stored inside iTunes every time the iPhone was synchronized to the computer. Have you tried this product?
    MSB will recover all information, notes, contacts, call history and SMS messages, in case the device gets lost, broken or stolen. Visit MSB at: http://homepage.mac.com/vaughn/msync/
    There is a free demo, and if you have questions or comments, please write back directly to Vaughn at [email protected]; MobileSyncBrowser (MSB) 3.1b1 has been tested for iPhone OS 3.1b2 and iTunes 8.2.1 compatibility. MSB prereleases will work with standard MSB keys.

  • HT4910 Getting contacts to sync between iPhone and iPad

    I can't get my IPad to sync contacts with my IPhone
    Both are ios7.02 and synced with the same iTunes account on the same computer
    On the iPad in Settings under the Mail,contacts,calendars tab under the section labelled Contacts
    There are only 4sub-headings whereas on the iPhone  there are 5 ,  the last one being Default Account
    Why is this sub-heading missing in the iPad ?      All other settings appear to be the same on both devices
    Any suggestions?

    And, of course, make sure both are set to sync via the iCloud with the same config,

  • Calendar times do not match between iPhone and Outlook 2013

    I have Outlook 2013 sycing with iCloud (poorly but it works).
    There is a time zone issue between these two programs.  I live in Saskatchewan (-6) where we don't have daylight savings time.  I have Time Zone Support turned off on my phone, and the time zone is automatically being detected.
    My computer is set to Saskatchewan (-6) and if I create an event on my iPhone 5 at 9am, it will sync to my Outlook calendar for 8am in the Central Standard Time Zone instead of the Sask Time Zone.  So I change it to Sask in Outlook and it now shows up in Outlook at 9am, but it is on my phone for 10am.  I believe there is an issue where iCloud is sending the wrong time zone information to Outlook.  I have read in other forums that everything works fine between the months of November and March, so it is definitely a time zone issue.
    Hope this gets fixed.

    Apple puts Saskatchewan into Central Standard Time, which isn't correct.  Then when it syncs to Outlook, Outlook puts the appointment into the CST time zone, instead of the Saskatchewan -6 time zone.  The problem is Apple's iCloud sending the wrong information to Outlook.
    Need a fix for this please.

  • My calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

    my calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

    Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account.  On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar.  Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
    Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default.  (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
    If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com.  Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone.  Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
    If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs).
