Events created by iphone do not sync  to my macbook through itunes

Hello,
I have a problem with my IPhone and my MacBook.  I use to work with my IPhone (photos, calendar, mail...) and then when I go home I sync it to my MacBook through ITunes as always.  But two weeks ago I realize that the events I was creating in ICal by my IPhone doesn't pass to ICal in my MacBook.
I tried to fix it using iSync as someone told me, but it doesn't work.
Can someone tell me if he had the same problem and how to solve it?
Thanks,
JL.

The calendar that you are adding events to must be in the "iCloud" section of the Calendars app, not in something like "On my iPhone".  Could this be the problem?
Otherwise be sure both mac and device are connected to the same icloud account.  Check Settings>icloud and System Preferences>icloud, and be sure both those pages have Calendars turned on.
If these don't solve things, then to test whether it's the iphone or mac that's the problem, using the mac's safari, log into icloud.com with your account ID and look at the Calendars page.  If the events are not listed, then the iphone is not set correctly.  If they are there, then the mac is not set correctly.

  • Calendar events created on iphone do not sync to ical...

    I have created several events on my iphone calendar then watched them disappear when performing a sync with my laptop. I have gone to itunes, hi-lited my iphone (when mounted) then gone to "info" tab in itunes, I've selected "home" where it says "Put new events created on this iphone into the calendar" (pull down menu)
    None of these phone-created-events end up in "home" or "work" or any of my other calendars. My laptop ical overrides anything on the phone and deletes it. Is there something else I should be checking or setting? I have the most current version of iphone software that's been offered (1.1.4). I would like to be able to put an event in there and have the sync work both ways.

    Never mind. For some reason it just worked. I guess I really meant it this time.

  • Event created on iPhone does not appear in iCal

    When I create an event on my phone and sync, it does not appear in iCal. Events created on my laptop sync without issue. Contacts sync both ways, but calendar events do not go from the phone to the computer. I am not using MobileMe to sync, simply using the USB cable.
    I have tried the following to resolve my issues:
    * Make sure iTunes and iPhone are up to date
    * Make sure all calendars are set to sync with iTunes
    * Try different USB ports on the laptop
    * Restart phone and computer
    * Reset sync history in iSync and re-sync
    * Follow directions in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 to do a full reset of sync history and re-sync
    Yet after trying all of those solutions, I still cannot sync events created on my phone to my laptop. Does anyone out there know of anything else I can try that might work?
    Thank you,
    Cameron

    After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
    0) Plug in iPhone
    1) Start iCal
    2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
    3) Quit iCal
    4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
    5) Start iCal
    6) Import all exported calendars
    7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
    8) Sync iPhone

  • Pages documents created on iPhone will not sync to Mac

    When I create a document using Pages on either my iPhone or iPad, it will not sync with Pages on my Mac.  However, if I create a document on my Mac and save it to iCloud it will show up on both the iPhone and iPad.
    Please advise.

  • Events created in iphone don't sync

    Events created in my iphone4 calendar do not sync with ipad or ical on my MacBook Air. However, events created in both ipad and ical show up on iphone. I have double checked - my prefered calendar is HOME for all devices. Thank you.

    Hello henmeg
    Check out the articles below for troubleshooting calendar syncing. The first relates to if you use iTunes to sync your calendars. The second one deals with if you use iCloud for calendar syncing.

  • Playlist that I created on IPhone does not sync

    I created a playlist on my IPhone. I am using ICloud and sync my Mac and IPad through this service. On both the Mac and the IPad I see the Playlist I created, but its empty. I Switched ITunes Match on and off on the IPad and also Resynced ITunes Match on the Mac. It did not change.
    I added a song to the playlist on the IPhone, no change either.
    I then tried to add a new song to the Playlist on the IPad (where it was empty). Now the playlis synced, but it has only the one song on the IPhone, all that I had originally created is gone. The difference was maybe that when I added the one song all devices had wifi access. But what is the point of creating a playlist on the go (I was sitting at the airport but without network access) if later I cant sync it. Is there any way to force syncing of playlists?

    This sounds very much like the sync is set to the wrong account when you have more than one email account you must set the correct account to be the one to sync to.... in settings mail contacts and calendars check to see which is the default account...  and ensure the exchange one is the default account if that is what you want to sync with ref contacts. Also do this in the calendars section at the bottom default calendar. i have this a lot with my directors they add entries into the iphone calendar and not the exchnage caledar and wonder why they are not syncing !!!! you can also see this in calendars itself their is a tab in the top left corner showning which calendars are being used, also each calendar entry will tell you which calendar it is using

  • IPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.3) Exchange 2003 Contacts created on iPhone will NOT sync w Exchange

    if a contact is created in Exchange (via Outlook or OWA) it will sync into the iPhone flawlessly. But if it is created on the iPhone, it WILL NOT go into Exchange. I sync to my PC; I make sure enough time has passed for a iPhone sync-still DOES NOT WORK.

  • Iphone will not sync to new version of Itunes 7.7

    Installed update to itunes and am now at version 7.7
    tried to connect my current iphone to sync, it brings up the Iphoto app to sync pictures, but will not bring up itunes and make a connection.
    Install went fine, no errors of any kind.
    Anyone have similar issues

    Same Problem here with my iPhone and my 5th gen. iPod. But waiting didn't help. I tried my iPhone twice for more than 30 min., but it didn't show up. Curiously iPod and iPhone just don't show up in my main library I usually sync my iPhone with and I have all my music in. They do show up in my audiobook and film libraries and my library on my girlfriend's Windows machine.
    So here's my little work around: I created a new library with my podcasts I regularly listen to and my iPhone apps and set my iPhone to sync these apps. If I want to copy new music, podcasts or apps, I import it in this temporary library and copy it on my iPhone. This works best with the iPhone set to manually copying music and videos. Otherwise you would need all the music on your iphone to be in this temporary library, too.
    By the way, if you set this new temporary library to sync apps with your iPhone, iTunes warns you the apps on your iPhone will be deleted and replaced with those of the new library. If these apps are the same, they won't be replaced and the data of the apps (your setup, username/password, copied files or whatever) won't get lost.
    There's another point: This beach ball thing happened to me after I set my iPhone from automatic syncing of playlists and videos to manually copying music and videos. So here's my question for you:
    What are your iPhones set to???

  • ICal on Iphone 5 not syncing with new Macbook Pro

  • New events created in phone are not synced to iCal

    While waiting for my economy to allow for an iPhone, I recently started to use my old mobile, a Sony-Ericsson T610, for calendars. The problem is that events I create in the phone won't sync back to the computer. iCal syncs its events into the phone alright, but events from the phone aren't added to iCal.
    I haven't tried this on any other version of OS X but the current (10.5.2), so I can't tell you if this is a new problem or if it's always been this way ...

    The plot thickens ...
    I just fixed my iCal sync problem with .Mac by refreshing .Mac with the data from my iMac and then syncing it to my iBook. Well, it finally worked, but surprise surprise, a few posts from my mobile/cell T610 appeared in the iBooks iCal, although they aren't in the iMac's iCal. So it seems like the events I have created on the T610 do transfer to the iMac -- it's just that they don't display in iCal. Or rather, in the syncing computer's iCal ...
    What do you make of this?

  • HT201253 Iphone 5s not syncing music to phone with itunes 12.0.1.26 - also cannot download full purchased albums, only some tracks

    The fun of new updates on my Windows 8.1 laptop and iphone 5S 64gb.
    I noticed since my last sync that some tracks had magically been removed - so I wanted to full sync. This couldn't even be instigated unless I deleted all my music off of phone, now it just hangs when syncing - for hours. No updates on how many tracks out of how many tracks have been synced.
    Also my purchased albums - I can see them on itunes as whole ones that are purchased, same on iphone.
    I then go to iphone to download my purchased items via itunes app, and it only shows some songs. An example is Drake, Game etc. - seems to affect full albums I've bought that are "deluxe" editions.
    All the normal/single edition albums seem fine.
    Absolutely fantastic, can't get my music onto phone except some purchased items - and even then it doesn't show all my purchases.
    Not sure if setting up family share affected things, but it can't even handle the simple tasks let alone downloading content from other users purchasers (which it detects fine ironically). New features but can't do anything that has previously been fine.
    Flabbergasted, had one work iphone4s 16gb and 64gb personal previously - no problems with same laptop.
    My alienware laptop is very high spec with SSD, so the fault does not lie here - apple related software or product.

    It couldn't do over 50gb in one go, had to do two half syncs to get all music on - i think this is limitation of the itunes software - pretty shocking really.

  • Iphone does not sync ical w/macbook

    Responses suggest going to ical system preferences and open icloud.  My system preferences has NO icloud, only mobileme.

    There is no mobile.me, it was closed down more than a year ago. You would have received several timely reminders about that:
    June 2011:
    iWeb publishing, MobileMe Gallery, and iDisk will all disappear as the company sunsets its current online service in favor of iCloud.
    Other MobileMe services—including syncing of Mac Dashboard widgets, keychains, Dock items, and System Preferences—will not be part of iCloud, Apple says. Those syncing services will stop working as soon you migrate from MobileMe to iCloud. In addition, Apple says that while MobileMe members can no longer upgrade to a Family Pack or buy additional MobileMe storage, Family Pack members will be able to transition their accounts to iCloud individually, as long as it’s done before June 30, 2012.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1160728/apple_mobile_me_transition_faq.html
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileMe
    August 2012:
    As of today, visitors to MobileMe.com are no longer given the option to convert their accounts to iCloud or to retrieve old photos and files, with Apple now simply pointing users to iCloud.

  • Suddenly my ipod and iphone will not sync with my macbook pro

    sync was working until about a week ago with all of my devices (Ipod/iphone)
    Sync is now greyed out, and it says the sync will resume when the macbook pro is available.
    Why isn't it available now?
    can I manually make it available?
    thanks.

    Are yo trying to sync via wifi?

  • Syncing Events Created with iPhone Not an Option?

    Okay, I've read as many discussion threads as my eyes can handle and have tried several solutions suggested to no avail. I am using Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 but was very recently using Windows XP Pro and Outlook 2003. The same problem applies to both environments.
    While I've had no problem syncing contacts and calendars from my computer to the iPhone, I cannot go the other direction. The selection box beside the phrases "Put new events (or contacts) created on this iPhone into the group (or calendar)," which is then followed but what should be a drop down menu, appears gray and is unselectable. I figured it was some simple preference setting in either Outlook or the iPhone that was causing the problem and found my way to the discussions to seek the remedy. Once here, I find myself overwhelmed and wondering if I now need a computer engineering degree to prevent missed appointments or the need for double entry. Please help a poor, technically challenged individual not regret the decision to by this phone!!

    I'm guessing that perhaps the reason the option to "Put new Contacts/Events created on iPhone" is not available is that I only have one calendar/group (Outlook) available on my computer. That is also why it defaults to "All Contacts" and "All Calendars"
    Evidently the actual syncing from the iPhone to the computer is unrelated to the availability of these options. At least that appears to be true in my case. I was actually able to get mine to work using the information in the article posted by someone else and available at
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845
    It seems the step regarding "Removing all other Third Party Add Ins" did the trick. I just didn't think it worked initially since the options on the Info tab did not change.
    Hope that helps! Thanks to all for the input. B
