Contacts and calendar won't sync to iphone

So I just updated to 2.1, and then let the iphone sync. I noticed that changes that I made on iCal were not syncing to my iPhone, so I checked the boxes at the bottom of the info scree that said "replace information" for contacts and calendar. All of my contacts and calendars then disappeared from my iPhone, and I was flashed the "inconsistencies in your sync..." message. I had seen this message a couple days ago when I edited somethings on iCal but I didn't think anything of it.
So with no contacts or calendars I tried resyncing to no avail. I have restored the iPhone twice and still I get that dialogue box, and no contacts or calendar events synched to my iPhone.
Please help me...I don't know why this is happening.

yup, tried that to no avail. I made a new user account and the syncing works fine on that account but still doesn't work on my original account. Its not an iphone issue, but a user issue. I've been on the phone with apple care and they have no idea right now how to fix this. I will update if anything gets fixed. All help is welcome...thanks.

Contacts and Calendar won't sync with Outlook

It seems that ever since the last upgrade to iTunes (8.1.1) my contacts and calendar won't sync.
I've tried all the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 up to and including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but, nothing has worked.
Any help would be appreciated.

The contacts and calendar do sync into another user account but _only some of the records_.
ZoneAlarm. And there is no difference whether it is running or not.
One odd thing:
In order to try to find which record(s) might be causing the problem I sorted my calendar on the "Date Created" field hoping to be able to go back in history and see exactly when things went wrong. Much to my surprise I found that the 13 most recent records did not sync to my iPhone. Then the next 2 did. Then the next 3 did not. Then 1 did. etc.

Contacts and calendar won't sync.

Itunes page says contacts and calendar sync over the air thru Mobile mel. I don't use Mobile Me! Not since that colossal introduction nearly froze my phone. How do I get it changed back to a hard sync through itunes? And, Why can't I send mail using wifi only (with edge turned off) Works on my buddy's phone but not mine!

If you have deleted your MM email account from your iPhone and you have synced your iPhone with iTunes since - the email account settings should no longer be included with your iPhone's backup.
Sync your iPhone with iTunes followed by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. This must be followed by a sync. If your MM email account settings are restored with your iPhone's backup, this means something is wrong with your iPhone's backup. You can check this before syncing. Check under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences to see if syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process is available again.
Did you transfer the email account settings for your Cox account from your Mac to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process? If so and after restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup doesn't resolve the sending problem with your Cox account, delete the account from your iPhone and try manually recreating the account. If this works, be sure to deselect transferring the account settings from your Mac to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process or any changes made when manually recreating the account on your iPhone will be overwritten.

Contacts and calendars won't sync with Windows 7 PC

Just had to buy a new pc (only because my MacBook got stolen) and I set up the iCloud on the machine but my calendars and contacts will not sync with Outlook 2010. Bookmarks, pictures will, but contacts and calendars say they cannot start the operation because of an unexpected error. Any help out there?

Google contacts and calendar events entered on my iPhone 5s are not syncing with my google account.

Newly entered contacts and calendar events entered on my IPhone 5s are not syncing to google.
Facts that may be pertinent:
- I switched from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5s and did the easy option of having it automatically set up like my previous phone, so I did not change any part of the setup. It is possible that it stopped syncing at that time, based on which contacts have synced and which haven't.
- My gmail account is set up as Exchange, with Mail, Contacts, and Calendars set to sync.
- Server: m.google.com, Use SSl is on, S/MIME is off (I don't actually know what these are, but maybe they matter?)
- Fetch New Data / Gmail account is set to Push
- Contacts and Calendar Default Account is Gmail
- In the Contacts app under Groups I have only GMAIL checked.
I've read that Google recommends CardDAV, which I gather is not the same as Exchange?
I'm afraid to delete anything and start over, for fear of losing my contacts.
Is there a difference between the gmail account I set up and what the Contacts app calls GMAIL?
If there is anything I should communicate about how things are set up on the Google end, let me know.
Thanks in advance for help!

Hello Marsden,
Try this...
Go to the isync program on your Mac.
Go to Preferences in the main menu
Hit Reset Sync History
I'm pretty sure this is how I fixed it... so far so good.
Let me know if that works for you!

Unable to sync contacts and calendar to outlook 2010 or iphone 5

I work in IT and several of our clients are have trouble syncing contacts and calendar to outlook 2010 or iphones.
I have uninstall itunes completely from the computer, deleted the backup and clear the sync history nothing seems to be working.
Is there are problem with the latest itunes and if so when will the fix be release???

This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!

First time i sync since the new update and i keep getting this:" contacts and calendars cannot be synced on the iphone" and everytime i click on it itunes times out and shuts down

what should i do?! nothing is working! i tried turning it off and on (and by it i mean phone and laptop) nothing's working !

With my fingers crossed I uninstalled the updated iTunes that led to the problem. Then went to the iTunes.com site to download the full version. After the install was finished I connected the iPod and it detected and synced the iPod without any further issues. I don't get the error, Contacts and calendars cannot be synced on the iPod "%1$S", any more.

"contacts and calendars cannot be synced" I just want my music, I already have contacts and calendars.

I got an iPhone 5c a little under a month ago, and haven't been able to put music on it since then. iTunes keeps trying to sync contacts and calendars, which I already have in place on the phone (via iCloud). However, when my I plugged my moms brand new 5c up to put music on it, it worked perfectly! I've compared our settings, and everything is the same. Please tell me what to do! I have the latest updates on both devices, and iTunes.

Contacts and calendar have stopped syncing with latest updates

Hello!
iPhone 4S / iOS 7.0.4 and Outlook 2010 - contacts and calendar have stopped syncing - phone syncs, but data doesn't update - Genuis bar in store couldn't help me.
Anyone else with this problem? Do you have a solution?
iCloud is not a option due to limited WIFI access.
Thank you
Valerie

Do you use a Mac? If so, see the note in the third paragraph:

Contacts and Calendar unable to sync

Yesterday my iPhone started having a problem syncing Contacts and Calendars. As far as I know, I changed no settings on either my phone or my computer to cause this to happen. I'm using a Mac with OSX Tiger, syncing through the USB cable with iTunes.
I first found that my calendars would not sync in either direction (iCal > phone or vice versa). The "Sync calendars" box was definitely checked, but when I tried to sync, it skips over the calendar sync process altogether (it used to display "Syncing calendars..." for a few seconds in the top of the iTunes window back before it stopped working, but not anymore).
I did a restore on my phone, losing my contacts and calendars that were already on there, and discovered that the contacts weren't syncing as well (despite most definitely being set to sync in iTunes), leaving me with a blank contact list. Other things such as Applications and Photos are able to sync perfectly fine. Here are things I've tried after reading some discussions, to no avail:
-Restoring the phone (both to a backup and as a new iPhone)
-Unchecking/rechecking "Sync Calendars/Contacts" boxes in iTunes, including experimenting with "all contacts" vs certain groups of contacts and calendars
-Resetting my Sync history in iSync
-Creating a new user account, with test contacts and calendar appointments (also failed to transfer)
-Hard resetting the phone
None of these seems to have helped the problem. It's as if my computer doesn't realize that I've checked the boxes to sync anything under the "Info" tab in iTunes.
Any ideas that I haven't tried yet? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Thomas,
Did contacts and calendar sync in another user account?
Have you installed any software that takes over syncing on your Mac? Maybe software that would let you sync a Windows Mobile phone.
If the issue is happening in all user accounts, try reinstalling iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
If the issue is only happening in one user account, there may be an issue with the SyncServices folder which is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1865

I was trying to get my personal computer contacts and calendar in outlook on my iphone and ipad. I was told to use icloud. I went to control panel and then icloud and selected my contacts and calendar. Now ALL MY DATA IS DELETED FROM OUTLOOK. Help!!

I was just on the line with Apple Tech support. First of all, I learned that when you link contacts to iCloud, it moves all your contacts to another/new address book...look for aother address books and you will see it. But I found the new address book dies weird things and changes the "Display Names" format. Evidently (per Apple support tech) there is no way to avoid this problem...so I just delinked the iCloud from my contacts. The contacts stayed in the iCloud address book...so I exported them to a CSV (comma separated value) file and saved it on my desktop and then imported that list into my original contacts folder. Now everything is back the way it was...being able to use my contact address book the way I did before. I was surprised that they never considered or realized this problem...but then the tech guy admitted that they really don't have A LOT of experience using Windows PC's.

Contacts and Caendar won't sync - how to turn off "over the air" syncing?

I have an 2nd gen 8GB Touch, a Macbook and use iTunes 8.0.1. I do not have Wi-Fi at home. I also have a dot-Mac (or Mobile Me, I guess) account.
When I first got the Touch, I opted in the iTunes Info section to sync both calendar and contacts, and everything came over fine. However, all of that somehow disappeared, and no amount of re-syncing will help. Now, my Info tab indicates that my contacts and calendars are being synced with my iPod over the air - I do not have the option of checking any boxes there. I have tried every permutation of settings in the iPod, but this doesn't change anything. I also cannot find any helpful help screens anywhere (including on this forum, where I have already searched).
Could someone please advise me how I can regain the checkboxes so my contacts and calendar information syncs when I connect to the Macbook and use iTunes to sync everything else (photos, music and movies all work fine).
TIA
BobF

This sounds like a MobileMe problem; or, rather, the solution will be found there. Try this page:
