Calendars and Reminders not syncing

Hey,
My Calendars between my Phone and Macbook aren't syncing, since I started using iMessages on my Macbook.
It looks as though my iPhone isn't updating icloud correctly, as I checked on iCloud.com and it's using the version that is on the MacBook instead of the iPhone (the iPhone is the latest version)
Can anyone tell me how to fix?

Iphone calendar and yahoo not syncing, anyone have issue

My iphone4 is not syncing with my yahoo calendar. It has been an issue for a few days. I have downloaded and installed latest software. Computers show updates, but not the phone. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I have never heard of this Yahoo Beta app which has been a Beta for nearly a year and I don't see such an app available via the iTunes app store in the U.S. but regardless, you need to contact Yahoo about this problem with their app which is still a Beta - the final version has not been released.

Calendar and Contact not syncing.

I am unable to get either new calendar entries or contacts changes to sync between my iPhone 3G and my desktop by way of Mobile Me. I can see that changes made on my desktop appear in the web interface to my Mobile Me account, but they never get to my iPhone. Conversely, new contacts or calendar entries created on my iPhone don't get to Mobile Me account.
I do get email messages sent to my @me.com or *.mac.com addresses and I can send email outgoing to the account. THere must have been an initial sync of calendar and contacts because I see most of my contact info, just not new entries or changes to existing ones.
I am using a one week old iPhone 3G through AT&T, and a Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.4. with all the latest patches. I use MS Entourage on my desktop and have syncing set up between that and iCal + Address Book and then to my Mobile Me account.
AM I doing something wrong? Is there a way to sync calendar and address book data through the USB sync cable rather than over the air?

Hi
I'm not that computer literate but have managed to sync my calendar, mail and contacts - so I hope this helps...
I didn't set up a new mobile me account as I don't want another email address. I am using my dot.mac account as my email - and sync'd using my usb cable. This should open itunes if you have it (download if you don't) and then the interface in itunes will walk you through it.
My email is now automatically arriving wirelessly. My calendar and contacts are all there - but when I want to update these I think I have to sync using the USB again, unless I open a mobile me account. My calendar and contacts are not updating wirelessly.
Hope that's useful.

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.

Calendars and contacts not syncing

I am running iTunes 11.1.4.62 on Windows 7. I sync with an iPhone 5s and an iPad mini with retina display, both running iOS7.
All worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. The first problem was when iTunes 11.1.4 installed and 'broke' iTunes. I found info here about others with the same problem and was able to successfully uninstall and reinstall and all was fine again. I was able to sync successfully after getting iTunes working again.
Yesterday I tried to sync again, for the first time in about 10 days. The sync seemed to hang on syncing calendars. Never would finish and I would have to cancel the sync. This happened on BOTH devices.
After some searching on the web I've tried a number of things: first I looked at calendar entries. I have a LOT, so followed instructions to search for bad recurring yearly events. Reset all of them. Also cleaned out a lot of old entries, deleted a lot of email to reduce the size of my Outlook pst (it had gotten over 2 gb in size.) Didn't help.
Other things I tried which did not work: Reset Sync Services, Replace calendar on device (calander got REMOVED from device, but won't go back on.), hard reset of device. I also completely unisntalled and reinstalled iTunes again. I ran the Inbox Repair tool, which did find some errors. Still hung on syncing calendars.
Finally tried renaming the SyncServices folder, as I saw recommended somewhere. That made the problem worse -- iTunes basically no longer 'saw' Outlook, although at least the sync would now complete -- it just wasn't syncing anything from Outlook.
Then I went to a computer backup from right after the last successful sync I did and copied the SyncServices folder from that backup. With that folder iTunes now 'sees' Outlook but even though I have the options to sync both contacts and calendars selected it simply doesn't do it, on either device. It backs up, syncs mail accounts, syncs apps (steps 2 through 4), then just skips steps 5 thru 7 and 'finished.'
This happens with BOTH of my devices. While it's possible there's something odd going on in my pst file, I really think the problem is somehow in iTunes.
I'm not sure what else to try. I do have copies of the backups from both devices from the last successful sync about 10 days ago that I could use to restore, but frankly I'm not sure that would fix anything.
Can someone point me to something else to try? I have a new Windows 8.1 computer coming in a day or two but obviously can't move all this to a new computer until I get it fixed!
Thanks,
Judy

Reminders not syncing and calendar running slow

Hi,
since I upgraded my Mac software to 10.7.4 and started using iCloud to sync my calendar and reminders I find that they both run extremely slowly on my iPad and iPhone. I also find that at times entries do not sync and are different on all three devices. Other times they do sync so I don't think it's a problem with my settings.
I have tried turning off iCloud and turning it back on, and changing the settings within iCloud from push to fetch but they are both still running slowly. Reminders is particularly bad and often hangs for several minutes, particularly if I want to add or edit more than one reminder.
Can anyone advise how to resolve this?
I have an iPad 2 running 5.1.1, an iPhone 3GS running 5.1.1 and a MacBook Pro running 10.7.4
thanks

Reminders not syncing properly with iCloud and iOS 8

I have an iMac running OS X 10.9.4 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I use Reminders on both my iMac and my iPhone and iCloud is turned on for both devices.
If I create a reminder on my iMac, I can see it immediately when I log in to iCloud.com and go to Reminders. It does not show up on my iPhone. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
If I create a reminder on iCloud.com, it immediately shows up on my iMac. It does not show up on my iPhone. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
If I create a reminder on my iPhone, it shows up on my iMac and iCloud.com. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
In order for any edits/deletes to sync to/from the iPhone, I either need to create the event on the iPhone, at which point it syncs any other changes, or I need to create a new dummy event and then delete it, at which point it syncs any other changes.
Basically, it seems like the iPhone needs to initiate a "hey iCloud, here are changes from my end. Oh, there are changes from other devices? OK, I'll show those changes" protocol, otherwise it just doesn't receive any updates from iCloud.
I don't think it's an issue with my iCloud account, since Reminders on my iMac and Reminders on iCloud.com sync just fine.
On my iPhone, I have tried:
-Force quitting and re-opening the app
-Changing the Reminders sync options (Settings -> Reminders -> Sync)
-Turning Reminders off and back on under Settings -> iCloud -> Reminders
-Turning the iPhone off and back on
None of those methods have fixed this issue.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue or is this unique to my iPhone?

Hi mrbofus,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you're experiencing issues with iCloud syncing your reminders on your iPhone. To troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to please follow the steps below.
General troubleshooting
Check the System Status page to make sure there aren't any issues affecting iCloud Bookmarks or Reading List.
Make sure you've fully enabled iCloud Calendar & Reminders for the client you are using. For more setup and troubleshooting information, see the additional steps for iOS, OS X, Windows, and iCloud.com in this article.
Check iCloud Help (help.apple.com/icloud) for possible information about the issue you are experiencing.
Check your settings and preferences, because something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues that are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
Troubleshooting Reminders on iOS devices
If you're having trouble with Reminders on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure that you're using iOS 5 or later. If you meet these requirements but your issue continues, try installing the latest version of iOS supported by your device.
Make sure that your iCloud account is configured correctly in Settings. For instructions on setting up iOS for iCloud, see iCloud Setup. Reminders is a separate data type on iOS. It must be enabled via the Reminders setting in Settings > iCloud.
Make sure your iOS device is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud Reminders will not update in Calendar. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Reminders requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar and Reminders servers.
If recent changes don't appear in Reminders, try forcing a refresh. In iOS 7:
Open the Calendar app.
Tap the Calendars tab to load the Calendars list.
Pull down on the list to refresh both calendar events and reminders.
If recent changes simply don't appear in Reminders, try forcing a refresh. In iOS 6 and 5:
Open the Calendar app.
Tap Calendars in the top-left corner to load the Calendars list.
Tap the Refresh button in the lower-left of the Calendars list.
Quit and restart the Reminders app on your iOS device.
In iOS 7, press the Home button.
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Reminders preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Quit and restart the Reminders app on your iOS device.
In iOS 6 and iOS 5, press the Home button.
Press the Home button twice to open the multitasking menu.
Press and hold the Reminders icon until it jiggles.
Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner to quit the app.
Press the Home button to get back to your Home screen. Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
Change the Sync settings for your calendars:
In iOS 7 and iOS 6, tap Settings > Reminders.
In iOS 5, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then scroll down to the bottom to the Reminders section.
Tap Sync. If Sync is set to All Reminders, set it to a specific duration, such as Reminders 1 Month Back. If it's already set to a specific duration, set it to All Reminders.
Wait several minutes and refresh again, as described previously. Then open the Reminders app again.
Turn iCloud Reminders off and back on:
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn off Reminders. Choose to delete data only if your reminders exist at icloud.com/#reminders and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
Wait a few minutes before turning Reminders back on.
Restart your iOS device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then drag the slider. After the device turns off, turn it back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

Can I use Icloud to outlook sync only for calendar and contacts (not tasks)?

I starting using Icloud Sync wiht outlok 2010 and like it - howeve rI only want to sync my Calendar and Contacts not Tasks - is that possible?

No. It's all or nothing.

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?
Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
Please help !
Nick

Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
Any ideas welcome !!

HT4489 Ever since the last update IOS5.1.1, calendar entries are not saved on Icloud, and would not sync on all I clould devices

After the last update of IOS5.1.1, all caledar entries are not saved on Icloud and thus not synced on all my Icloud devices, even though, spreadsheets are synced, photostream is working and contacts is syncing, only calendar items. Anybody has the same problem? Or a solution to this kind or problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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).
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.
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.

Mac Calendar, Notes, and Tasks not syncing with Blackberry Bold

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro with out of the box with OS X Mountain Lion Installed. Downloaded and installed the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop Software. Quickly realized that I am unable the sync the Mac Address Book with my BlackBerry Bold 9930 while the iCloud is enabled. Once disabled, the my Address Book syncs like it used to.
Calendars, however, are not syncing. I have tried several ways, including disableing the iCloud and creating New Calendars both "On My Mac" as well as "On iCloud" without success. The error is as follows:
"There are no writable calendars available for syncing on this computer."
I am confident that once the solution to the writable calendars is found it will automatically resolve the syncing of Tasks too. Please advise how I can solve this problem.
Secondly, I noticed that Mountain Lion comes equipped with an independent Notes App. Initially I thought this to be a really cool new feature of Mountain Lion when compared to my previous experiences with Snow Leopard. For simplicity, I initially deleted all my old notes from the BlackBerry and transfered the notes files which were backed up from my previous MacBook Pro to the BlackBerry. The tranfer occured without a hitch. A few days later, I realized that eventhough my notes were syncing without a hitch, my edits were not being saved. I.e. edits made on the Mac were not syncing forward to the BlackBerry and vice versa. So I lost some content. When trying to trouble shoot the problem I realized that the Desktop Software was programed to sync with "Apple Mail Notes" on the Mac, and not the Notes App. So bascially, the notes were syncing from the wrong source and everytime I synced them, the notes on the Blackberry were being replaced by the original notes that I had moved over from my Old Mac. How can I re-set/re-program the Desktop software to sync with the notes in the Notes app? Or, where can I access these "Apple Mail Notes" So that I can make edits and add/delete notes so that they sync accurately?
Help!
Thanks.
Mo

Doesn't look like there's a way to sync BlackBerry MemoPad memos with Apple Notes.
Apparently Apple's Notes app doesn't talk to Apple's Sync Services (older versions of Apple Mail do) - BlackBerry Desktop talks to the Apple apps using Sync Services. Sadly Notes still isn't playing nice, so BlackBerry can't sync notes.
p.s. Microsoft Outlook 2011 DOES talk to Sync Services, but it only syncs my memo headers, and no text. *curls into ball*

Dear Al
Thanks for your reply.
I have just found out what's wrong. I went to the 'more info' section of my Chitchat application and it took me to a link where it explained that Yahoo Chat has ditched chatting with the Java protocol and chatters can now only chat via the Yahoo Messenger protocol, which is Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide a platform for Yahoo Voice for Macintosh computers. Though the original link I went to provides another link to a thing called 'Adium' from which a Mac can access Yahoo Chat's new protocol, although it's not fully developed yet.
Oh...and thanks so much for letting me know about the Java update release. I did not know that I have to upgrade my system first to recieve the latest update information.
Regards
Tina

Had to wipe and restore 5S now calendars and reminders are not showing

No calendars or reminder lists are showing on the 5S and can't seem to be able to create one (+ is greyed out) even Fantastical 2 can't create event. iCloud synch is turned on but nothing.

There are no calendars and reminders mostly because that you had not backed up to iCloud or iTunes before you wiping your iPhone. If you had backed them up to iCloud or iTunes, then after wiping your iPhone, you can restore your iPhone with the backup file.
And you said that you can't even create event, I can see that the iOS version 7.0.2 on your iPhone is low, to ensure your iPhone works properly, you should update the operating system to the latest version.

I am having problems syncing an older I Pod Touch with my MacBook. The device syncs the music and calendar, but will not sync the contacts. I have tried several times, and after the sync, the contacts app says "no contacts." Help!

I have connected successfully my third generation ipod touch to my Macbook, syncing to I Tunes. Everything syncs except my contacts. The calendars and music all sync succefully, however, when I open the contacts on the Ipod, it says, "no contacts." I have tried disconnecting, selecting again, specifying to sync contacts under the "info" tab, etc., and nothing works. Can you help me figure out the problem?

Do you have the right boxes checked/entered right settings?
