Can't get calendar to sync TO computer

I have enabled syncing in iTunes for my calendar and contacts, since they never updated at all over iCloud. I have everything I can find enabled in my Settings on my iPhone. I must be missing something, though, because calendar syncs TO the iphone, but not FROM the iPhone TO the computer. My contacts do not sync predictably.

Are you using iTunes or iCloud to sync calendar between the iPhone and the PC?
if it's iCloud make sure your updating the iCloud calendar in Outlook on the PC versus the regular Outlook calendar.. Open Outlook calendar on the PC and at the left select the iCloud calendar in the Navigation pane. Also make sure to select calendar sync in the iCloud control panel on the PC and in the iCloud setting in the iPhone.
Lastly see this for help particularly the Outlook section...

Can't get iPod to sync with computer!

Please can someone help as I'm at my wits end!
Basically I've got a 2nd gen iPod, everything was working fine until a couple of days ago when I connected the iPod to my laptop and it didn't show up in iTunes.
After about 10 minutes I get a message telling me that I need to update my ipod. Only problem being that once I run the iPod updater software it says that it's initializing and then freezes up. It's done this so many times that I have lost count.
I've tried rebooting my ipod and have uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and the iPod unpdater software, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
My iPod still works fine and plays all of my music, and has no problems in connecting to my Xbox 360, it just won't sync up with my computer so I can't update the music on it.
Please can someone help me?

Upgraded to Mountain Lion and Can't Get Calendar to sync with Exchange server

Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my Calendar refuses to sync with the Exchange server. Events deleted on the web interface dont show up on my Air Calendar. Any thoughts on this?

Discussions of jailbreaking are not allowed here, so I'd suggest avoiding the topic or you risk having your posts removed by the Hosts.

I reinstalled Firefox and lost bookmarks from my computer, how can I get them back (sync ?)from my android phone ?

My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.

Hi penami,
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge.

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect that box then restart your iMac.

You don't mention anything about the music files on your computer that were used to copy into iTunes. If you have moved those files to a different location on you PC you will get that error message from iTunes. This is because iTunes will look for the music files in the original location that they came from on your PC when they were copied. If this is the case you have to tell iTunes to look in the new location for the music files or move the music files back to the original location.

I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

Hey grandkids7k,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

I got a new ipod and I can't get it to sync. Help!

I got a new ipod and I can't get it to sync.

You could go hunting for a fair price on a refurbished or restored Intel-based Mac or MacBook, as most early models of CoreDuo and Core2Duo can run Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and some much more recent.
The Apple Store's Special Deals section that is online has some fairly recent examples of hardware with an OS, original accessories as noted, power cord, and complementary one year coverage. Eligibility for extended AppleCare plans are noted & may be available for various items in the store. Subject to availability. Refurbished. Like new. The price difference can be about the same as the additional two year AppleCare plan may cost, so get that too.
Third party repaired restored or available through other channels vary in quality, quantity, condition, and may be lacking in some or most original accessories; they should include basic hardware as originally equipped and have the boot-install software disc set as intended for that build model & year specification, included.
Auction sites rarely have that much of a kit together, w/ missing discs, scruffy, extra fees, etc. On the other hand, companies that restore and repair Macs for a living and are authorized Apple service centers may have something, if you aren't in the market for something holiday new or really quick. Older models if reasonably refurbished can still shine years later.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!
