Events added on my iPhone calendar do not sync back to my mac calendar

I run a business and it is imperative that my phone and mac calendars match. If they do not, I can double book myself and as much as I wish I could be in 2 places at once, I have not yet figured out cloning.
I have the latest version of IOS8 on my iPhone 5S, I have the latest OS on my mac. I have tried everything I know and I still cannot get my phone mail to sync with my mac. The newest versions of the IOS and OS are not very intuitive and it is possible I am missing something. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

If you're trying to sync an iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPhone and make sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.

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!

HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

IPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11

My new iPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11, but will charge on my friends OSX 10.6.7, what do I do?

Call AppleCare and ask them if they still have an available copy or check on Amazon, eBay, etc. If your computer will support it you will be better off buying a retail copy of Snow Leopard instead.

HT1296 my iphone 4 will not sync with my new mac book air. It says that syncing failed to start. Any suggestions?

My iphone 4 will not sync with my new macbook air. It says that syncing refused to start. Any suggestions? FYI - all my apps and software are updated.
Thanks,

Close iTunes. On your phone, double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle & a red minus sign appears. Tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap Home button when finished. Re-start your Mac, launch iTunes, connect your phone. See if things work now.

Calendars will not sync using current iTunes (Mac) and iPhone software

Since the newest update to iTunes (Mac) 10.5.3 (3) my iPhone will not sync my calendars from my iPhone (5.0.1). This is a huge problem considering I am out of my office most of the day, and rely on my calendar to keep me in the right place. For the last week I have had to manually enter events on both my iPhone and my computer. My computer is older and does not allow the operating system Lion, so I am running Snow Lepord OS 10.6.8. Therefor, I can not use iCloud to sync any of my iPhone information.

I finally found how to reset SyncService history through the Terminal port. After I did this it all started to work correctly again.

IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
Restarting iPhone
Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
Any help is appreciated.
Manolis

Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files. I"ll see if that works. ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

All of the Appoints in my calendar do not sync properly between my MAC and iPad

it is really frustrating - some (with no rhyme nor reason) of my appts that I book into the calendar function on my iPad do not then sync across to my MAC Air.
Does anyone know of a solution? Or what might be causing it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There may be a variety of reasons for this, such as different page set ups or fonts being substituted.

IPhone 5 calendar will not sync back to google calendar but will work in the other direction

Any help or anyone having a similar problem?it seems to be a google server problem

It used to work fine, but after our system administrator changed our google login name, I started experiencing problems with syncing. If I set something on my PC on my google calendar, it will show up on my phone. If I set something on my phone, it doesn't sync to google calendar in the cloud. What's worse, because the event isn't in the cloud, it deletes it from my phone. I have successfully changed my log in information on my phone and the e-mail part works fine. Only having problems with the calendar. Any ideas on how to fix it?

8330 Calendar does not sync back to desktop

I've been fighting this for six months, and I know I just haven't found the right place to change settings.
I'm using an 8330 with Outlook 2007; the same problem existed with Outlook 2003 before we upgraded a month ago.
- Everything I enter on the desktop computer transfers to the 8330, no problem.
- NOTHING I enter on the 8330 calendar transfers back to the desktop. I have checked under Options>Advanced Options>Default Services and the Calendar is set to sync with my desktop.
This constantly causes problems, and it has resulted in my missing some appointments. I have searched the forums here and the FAQ at BB and can't find any solution that works. I'd appreciate your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

HI and welcome to the forums!
First reset the sync config on the desktop software and make sure it is setup for two way transfer.
Second make sure your email address associated with the calendar is listed in default services.
I'm sure you have done the above, but it's always best to check.
I would then suspect the device calendar, it your appointments are on outlook and on the ipd file backup from the
device, then wipe the device calendar using this procedure;

Set the DM to config ONE WAY DESKTOP TO DEVICE and sync. Then add an appointment to the BB and try syncing 2 way.
Please let us know,
Thanks

Did Mountain Lion break calendar and note sync between the Mac and iPhone?

When I was running Lion, my calendars and notes synced properly between my Mac and iPhone (with notes going into Mail.app). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the notes on my Mac were moved into Notes.app and my calendars appeared to be unharmed. I've recently noticed that neither my calendars nor my notes are syncing between my Mac and iPhone.
I use iTunes to sync my data (either via USB or WiFi) and have no interest in moving to iCloud. I have tried the suggestion of enabling iCloud sync on my iPhone, then disabling, as well as telling iTunes to overwrite the calendar data on my iPhone. Neither of these approaches has solved my sync problem.

I found a solution to my problem. Hopefully it helps someone else too.
I deleted the following file and folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
When I synced my iPhone, I was presented with several sync conflicts to resolve. I resolved them and applied the changes immediately. Now my Mac and iPhone are in sync and I've confirmed that changes are syncing from my Mac to my iPhone (I'll confirm that it works the other direction tomorrow when I can look at my calendar at work).
This is the thread that helped me:

HT1386 New Contacts I have put in my Iphone are not syncing back to my PC.

My Itunes crashed on the weekend, it vertually wiped itself clean and prompted me (with a license agreement) to reinstall. since then, information on my IPhone (Contacts) will not sync back to the PC. Its only one way now - PC to Iphone, it used to be both ways.
As I had to set up my iTunes again entirely I'm sure there is a confiuration I can set to do this but I cant find it.
Regards Mark

Did you try to reset the sync history in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices?

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.
