Do Reminders in iCal sync via iTunes?
I'm using Reminders in iCal 5.0.1 on OS X Lion. I sync my iCal data with the Calendar app on my iPhone, via iTunes (not iCloud). The weird thing is, none of my Reminders data is syncing, either from my iPhone to my iMac, or from my iMac to my iPhone.
Does the Reminders data only sync via iCloud?
This doesn't help you, but I just recently started having the same problem, I just upgraded my 3G to 4.0 in iTunes so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but nothing on my phones calendar will sync to iCal. Events in iCal sync to the computer just fine thought. I hope someone can help me figure this out!

Reminders and Notes sync via iTunes (cable, not iCloud).
Hello, Everyone.
Has Apple fixed the problem with Notes and Reminders yet ? When I last researched the subject both applications (1) could only be synchronized via iCloud and (2) even that wasn't working well for most users.
Is there an update or a way to sync Notes and Reminders via iTunes without the use of the Internet (iCloud, Gmail or any other Internet-based service) ?
Thank you in advance for your help and input.

IPhone and iCal sync via iTunes - calendars appear on IPhone not in iCal
Hi, i hope that someone out there may have encountered and resolved this.
Basically I am trying to sync my iPhone 3G with iCal using iTunes as the sync tool. I have partial success in that my iCal calendar entries can be found within my iPhone BUT the reverse is not true, my iPhone calendar is showing in iCal - I would expect to see within the calendar list something like "on my iPhone" (although never having done this before i may be completely wrong!).
I should add that my iPhone is a company phone synced to Outlook over the air, iTunes tells me this, but it doesn't tell me that i can't do a Sync with my iMac.
Any help welcomed.This doesn't help you, but I just recently started having the same problem, I just upgraded my 3G to 4.0 in iTunes so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but nothing on my phones calendar will sync to iCal.

DO NOT UPGRADE TO MAVERICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DEPENDED ON APPLE’S CLOUD. It removes the ability to sync Calendar, Notepad, and Contacts between your apple devices. You then can only sync them via Apple’s Cloud. For those of you like me, that do not want to be depended on an external data base accessible via the Internet or Cel Phone (with data charges).
Why do I not want to use the Cloud to sync and backup?
1. I found I only have one device with me at a time or am sitting at a computer when I add to my calendar, make a note, or add/change a Contact. Syncing with iTunes while upgrading apps and doing a back up to two external hard drives worked great and met my needs.
2. I use WiFi and pay for the minimum data plan with my Cel provider (AT&T). I do not want to pay higher monthly data fees.
3. I do not like a central data base (that will be hacked someday) having the personal info I have in my Notes, Schedule, and Contacts.
4. I like the security of my most important data being on my own hard drives and written off to Data DVD’s, not subject to even rare central system outages/failures.
5. I do not like the prospect of becoming dependent on a Cloud in which the provider could decide at any time to either start selling information or charging monthly fees to recover the costs of providing the cloud.
I am reluctant to go to the trouble to go back to 10.8 because Apple will eventual stop providing updates to 10.8 and 10.8 compatible applications.
PLEASE APPLE, GIVE US SYNCING VIA ITUNES BACK!!!!!! Why take away one of the most valuable features of iTunes???? Why take away our choice of syncing via the Cloud or locally with iTunes????You will need to contact Apple through their feedfack channel. These are user to user forums, sorry.

Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.
Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.
When I sync my MacBook Pro with my iPhone and iPad, the events set in both devices (iPhone & iPad) are not transfered to the iCal on my labtop. Events created in both devices are transfered and copied betwen them when I sync them with the iTunes app (through the MacBook Pro) but they are not trasfered/copied into the labtop (iCal). The events created in the iCal (on my MacBook) are tranfered to the devices as two events on same hour. One, with the description created on the iCal, and the other as a New Event (no description). This is happening since I installed the new OS X Lion last week.
I file a report and talked with an Apple Support Representative, but they could not help me. They have not receive any other reports on this matter. Do someone has confronted this issue. I need to find out how to solve this problem.
Regards,
JADHi Sydness,
Thank you very much for your help. It just worked fine. I have 4 macs in my company for 25 years (one is updated each year), and it is the first time I could not solve a problem for weeks. It gave me the opportunity to join this great community.

When ever I go into my Photos on my iPad and select the ones I want to delete there is no Trashcan icon so I am unable to delete the photos. Please contact me if you know how to delete photos synced via iTunes x
If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

Notes & Reminders Sync via iTunes ( no iCloud )
Hello!
So, i have limited access to internet, therefore i can't use iCloud on daily bases. Actually I barely use it. Im looking out for a way to sync the apps Reminders and Notes (in my iPhone with iOS 8) to my Mac using just iTunes, no iCloud. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advanceIt sounds like Notes may be easier than reminders ...
Here's the pertinent section of the iPhone iOS 6 User Guide discussing Notes. I included the iCloud section FYI, but the section below it pertains to your situation:
Use iCloud to keep your notes up to date on your iOS devices and Mac computers:
If you use a me.com or mac.com email address for iCloud: Go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Notes.
If you use a Gmail or other IMAP account for iCloud: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turn on Notes for the account. Choose the default account for new notes: Go to Settings > Notes.
Create a note in a specific account: Tap Accounts and select the account, then tap to create
the note. If you don’t see the Accounts button, tap the Notes button first.
See only notes in a specific account: Tap Accounts and choose the account. If you don’t see the Accounts button, tap Notes first.
Delete a note while viewing the list of notes: Swipe left or right across the note in the list.
Here's the analogous section from the Reminders chapter:
Keep your reminders up to date on other devices: Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Reminders. To keep up to date with Reminders on OS X Mountain Lion, turn on iCloud on your Mac, too. Some other types of accounts, such as Exchange, also support Reminders. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turn on Reminders for the accounts you want to use.
So the bottom line is you should be able to synch your notes and reminders when you do an iTunes sync with your iPhone and/or iPad. But if you haven't done so already, you'll have to set up notes as well as reminders in one of your non-iCloud accounts and make sure all your three devices look to the same account for its information. Of course, you won't get instantaneous updating as you would with iCloud, but I think you're not seeking that anyway.
I hope this helps. -
Does reminders in iCal sync with iPhone 4s
Reminders in iCal works well and iPhone 4s has a pre installed app called Reminders but they do not sync together. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to sync them?
Yes, they will sync from the iphone to ical via iCloud. Show the reminders list in iCal > View > show Reminders.
Visit the options in iCal > preferences.. > Advanced tab for options.
Now tell Siri on the iphone to "remind me to get a haircut in four weeks". It should appear in the reminders list on the right.

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
1. I Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
THE PROBLEM:
The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

Aperture 3 and face syncing via iTunes
Hello,
is there any way to sync Aperture 3 Faces with an iPhone and an AppleTV via iTunes, just the way it is possible with iPhoto?
If not, is there any ETA on this functionnality?
Thanks.I eventually resolved this myself by resetting sync history ... at least I guess that did it.

IPad 2 Restarts during Photo Sync via iTunes
Version 5.0.1 (9A405)
Model MC763LL
When I try to sync photos via iTunes (using iPhoto) my iPad keeps restarting. I have a single folder of around 400 photos taken on a Kodak Easyshare that I downloaded to my iPhoto Library on my Macbook but when I sync them to the iPad, it resets and continues to reset until I uncheck sync photos using iPhoto. I would like to sync my photos using iTunes any ideas?Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't been able to sync any photos at all yet. I'm trying to sync a single folder, located within "My Documents / My Pictures"
What I meant by "including a folder of very small pictures" was this - I unclicked the "sync photos" box when the iPhone synced with iTunes, closed iTunes, resized the photos in another application to make them smaller, then reopened iTunes and tried to sync the folder containing the smaller photos, with no success at all.
I've tried deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder, then reopening iTunes and resyncing - no joy, iTunes re-creates the iPod Photo Cache folder then freezes.
I've also tried trying to sync a single photo - not one of the 300 I previously tried to sync. This doesn't work either.
I'm completely stumped.... -
I need to get the photo's synced via ITunes from my IPhone to my Windows PC
Due to a hard drive failure I have lost all my data on my Windows Desktop. I have synced most of the photo's on my IPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 via ITunes however it seems I cannot do the reversal to get the photo's from the IPhone to my Windows Laptop. Has anyone got any suggestions to help??
The only photos that you can put onto the drive of the computer from the phone are the ones in the Camera Roll. Those are done via the Import utility in Windows. Photos that have been synced to the iPhone via iTunes would have to be taken from the iPhone via a 3rd party utility. You cannot sync photos that have been synced to the phone back to a computer via iTunes. It does not work that way.
There are a number of 3rd party utilities that you can use, but TouchCopy by Wide Angle Software is a good choice. I have used it before, and there is a free trail or a purchased alternative, depending on how much you need to do. That also will allow you to archive voicemail, SMS, and other data from the phone, if you did not have a backup of your iTunes library on the desktop. Remember the photos that were synced to the iPhone were done so in a reduced resolution, so you would not be getting them back in the same size and resolution as you synced them. Also understand, that if you did not have a backup, you will need to move music as well, or it will delete all of the music on the iPhone. -
HT1386 My new iPhone 6 will not sync via iTunes..
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/
There is no errors... it simply will not update my new iPhone 6.What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Sync seems to be playing up when I sync my iPhone 4 with my iMac using iTunes. Events entered into Calendar on my iPhone do not appear in Calendar on my mac after syncing. They must be there however since if I then sync Calendar on the mac with iCal on my ipod they appear in calendar on my iPod. Is it justa display problem or am I being a bit thick??!
I have the exact same problem as you (minus the coffee incident) where the phone just turned off. Tried everything you have too and now the above link is showing a 404 page... Can you help me out?

Why does iCal sync via dotMac suddenly fail with Tiger
I've read about the Leopard and Tiger-to-Leopard syncing issues with iCal, but I have an issue that is just with Tiger (10.4.11). I have two machines running the same version of MacOS (one Intel, one PowerPC) in different countries, and a live dotMac subscription. I have a small collection of calendars which are set to auto-publish after each change. This system has worked fine for a long time, and it enables me to use the same calendar in both my main locations.
Last Saturday, 8th March, I shut down one of these machines (in France) and moved to the other one (in England). I then tried to sync the English machine, and it did do an update of my calendars, but it turned out (from the dotMac 'advanced' pane in System Preferences) that dotMac sees the last sync for the French machine as being on 13 February, whereas it was in use every day up to 8 March. Something must have turned off the auto-publish feature on my French machine - but what could that be? I see that the dotMac Sync engine (whatever that is) was last updated on 9 March - this is probably when I first tried to sync the English machine.
Can anyone suggest what went wrong? I have not consciously changed any parameters for iCal or dotMac for a long time.Hi - I am the original poster on this topic. I have now moved my UK machine to France, and it's sitting in the same room as my other Mac. As before, I have a small set of calendars (only one is relevant) and I am running the same version of iCal on each machine sync'd via dotMac. Let's call the machines A and B,
A few hours ago, I added an event on machine A. I then used the Sync feature of dotMac (accessed via System Preferences) to make sure that this machine was sync'd with dotMac. The date and time of this was confirmed by the 'advanced' info in the System Prefs DotMac screen. I then used the "show Calendar on dotMac" feature for the relevant calendar, and I saw my new event available there.
I then went to machine B and went through the same Sync sequence, but my new event didn't show up. That was some hours ago and it still isn't present. If I do "show Calendar on dotMac" on machine B, I see machine B's version of the calendar, the one without the new event!
The URL for the B version of the calendar is
http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?d=25&u=livfoss&v=0&y=2008&m=4 &n=Raissac.ics
and for A it's
http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?u=livfoss&n=Raissac.ics
Clearly there are differences, but I have no idea what they mean.
What do I have to do to get the most up-to-date version of my calendar show up in iCal on machine B? I am completely stumped.
