Contacts not syncing & Calendar off by 1 hour

Specs:
1st generation iPhone running 2.0.1
iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.4
iTunes 7.7.1
Overview:
My phone is not syncing properly and it's causing me to show up to meetings at incorrect times and not have contact information with me on the road when I know it should be there.
Contacts:
It seems to pick and choose which contacts it wants to sync from the iMac to the iPhone. It never completley syncs with the address book.
Calendar:
The Calendar is one hour early on the iPhone then what it should be. Also, the color coated calendars are not keeping the correct color (not a big deal, but though I should mention it).
What I've tried so far:
Restoring the iPhone
Checking the "replace info" boxes in iTunes
Resetting iSync History
Turning Daylight Savings on and off
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I also had success using this method, from above:
On iPhone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll way down to Time Zone Support. Note that it's listed as GMT-4. Turn slide button to OFF, then back to ON. Note that it automatically goes to Washington, DC (GMT-5).
Calendar appointment times now correct.
Time on the iPhone updated automatically for daylight savings, but the Time Zone Support function didn't make the one-hour shift; they ended up out by an hour from one another. Forcing Time Zone Support to refresh its settings was all that was needed.

    My problem - when syncing and error messages  comes up:  iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data."  I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing.  What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

    Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted :  a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone.  I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
    In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them.  It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
    Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

  • IPhone does not sync calendar and contact information

    iPhone has not synced calendar or contact info entered on the phone with iCal or Address Book. Has shown NO updating in either app since mid-February. Since that time, have updated to iTunes 7.6 and, IIRC, OS X 10.5.2. This is a problem!!
    <Edited by Moderator>
    Thanks!

    Do all Lessons as described by you - dont sync.
    Have tested it with several different contact groups or single new contacts. Did it several times (resetting sync history and editing new groups contacts).
    Also checked those boxes to overwrite iPhone Entries by the Computer.
    Nothing appears on the iPhone.....

    hi there,
    i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
    just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
    turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
    and turn back on (MERGE!)
    now SYNC it..
    and that's it
    PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

  • TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

    My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

    On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default.  If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
    If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar.  If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer.  Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off.  When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone.  After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone.  Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

  • My iPhone 5S suddenly will not sync calendars with iTunes on my iMAC.  I recently upgraded the iMAC to version 10.8.5.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
    Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Click the device button, then click Info.
    Select the items you want to sync.
    Click Apply.
    Take care,

  • I am getting a sync error between iphone and Outlook 2007:   ITunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone.  How can I fix this?

    I have the "sync calendars" checked. 
    This happens about every three months and drives me crazy!
    I have a 2G iphone on T-Mobile.

    i use outlook for my work email, but my personal email is in gmail.  besides work email, i do not use outlook at all.
    i get my work email on my iPhone, but i do not sync calendars and contacts as i have to use an imap connection for work, and this does not allow for calendar or contact syncing.
    i have seen a gmail/outlook sync tool, but i am afraid i do not use it so i can not offer any help with it.

  • New contacts not sync icloud

    I have problem with new contacts on my iphone are not showing in icloud since 2 days after I added some videos via CopyTrans. I setup Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account to iCloud and then run a backup but still new contacts are not showing in iCloud. How to fix it please?

  • ITunes could not sync calendars to ---'s iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone

    iTunes could not sync calendars to ---'s iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. How can this be resolved? I can figure out if the sync server failed to sync then iTunes would not sync the calendars.  Everything syncs on my iPad mini 3 wifi and my iphone syncs my contacts but not the calendars. So what gives?

    Brenden,
    thanks for the reply, but the troubleshooting tips seemed to concentrate on 'Lion"," Snow Leopard" and the like, I haven't a clue what any of that is. I am using Windows 7 Pro with Service Pack 1 on my desktop and my iPhone is using iOS 8.1.2, as is my iPad mini.  As I said on my previous post, syncing on my iPad mini works fine, It is just the iPhone that fails to sync the calendars. Hopefully a solution can be found as it is difficult to keep things synced on my iPad  and then have to add everything manually onto my iPhone.

  • IPad 2 not syncing Calendar to other devices through iCloud

    My iPad 2 is not syncing Calendar events to other devices through iCloud
    Devices:  MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2), iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.0), iPad 2 (iOS 6.0)
    iPad 2 Settings: 
       iCloud settings: Calendars 'ON'
       Mail, Contacts, Calendars: Default Calendar:  Calendar; Sync:  All events
       Shared Calendar Events:  'ON'
       Within Calendar App:  Calendars checked:  Home, Calendar
    iPhone 3GS Settings:
       Identical to iPad 2 settings
    MacBook Pro iCloud Calendar: Home and Calendar checked
    I set up the following test event entries for the same date to see what was coming up in each device above:
      1-From iPad:  iPad to iCloud test
       2-From iPhone:  iPhone to iCloud test
       3-From iCloud.com:  iCloud.com to iCloud test
       4-From MacBook Pro:  Launchpad Calendar App to iCloud test
    (The last two entries may be redundant, but I wanted to cover all possibilities.)
    I then I checked the Calendar App for each of the above devices for "events" 1, 2, 3, and 4 above.
    The iPhone Calendar App had "events" 2, 3, and 4
    The MacBook Calendar App through LaunchPad had "events" 2, 3, and 4
    iCloud.com had "events" 2, 3, and 4
    The iPad, however, had "events" 1, 2, 3, and 4
    Only the iPad had all events entered from all devices.  This creates a problem, of course, since I almost always have the iPad with me, and that's where I make additions/changes to Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Reminders. Dependability across the Cloud is pretty important!  What can I do to resolve this?
    N.B., Contacts and Reminders synced successfully across all devices through iCloud.  Notes, on the other hand, showed a different problem.  When I created a "Test from devices" note, the iPad and the iPhone showed the additions to the note from each device, including the MacBook.  The MacBook only showed what had been written from the MacBook.  Hmmmm...
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

    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.

    One thing that might help.
    1. open itunes preferences from the edit menu and click on the devices tab.
    2. check the box to disable syncing for iphones connected to itunes and click ok.
    3. Then click the button to reset sync history.
    4. Now click ok to close the preferences window.
    5. connect the iphone to itunes and go to the info tab.
    6. scroll to the bottom of the info page and check the box to replace the ical data on the iphone.
    7. then click apply on the bottom right of itunes.
    This will overwrite any events on the iphone, including any events that has become corrupted.
    Hope this helps
