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.

  • Calendar events created in iPhone don't sycn to iCal

    I migrated from a Blackberry to iPhone about a month ago, so am somewhat green to the nuances of the platform.
    I notice that when I create a calendar event in the iPhone (3g, 2.2.1), it does not get sync'ed to my iCal calendar. Changes in iCal sync to the iPhone just fine.
    I've done the reset suggestions listed in the Apple support site that relate to resetting the iSync history as well as running the unix command with no change.
    Any suggestions here?
    thanks,
    Larry

    I am also having the problem. Events created on the iPhone do not sync to either my MobileMe calendar (no matter what platform (Mac/PC) or browser(IE/Safafi) I open it from)or the iCals on either my desktop or laptops Macs. All have MobileMe preferences set to sync calendars, and iPhone is set to Sync with my Macs in iTunes. All events added anywhere BUT the iPhone itself, sync across all my Macs and MobileMe, only the event actually added from the iPhone itself fail to sync.
    Anybody got anything new on this?

  • 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.

  • Ever since beta testing OS4, contacts created on iPhone don't sync

    Contacts created in mail or messaging don't sync with MobileMe since I installed iOS4 beta. I have to email the card and import it on my iMac. If I add something to an existing contact, usually that will sync to MobileMe.
    Plus 75% of my cards now show two new fields on the bottom under linked cards: iPhone and MobileMe.

    The MobileMe forums start here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116

  • Events created on iPhone don't appear in iCal on my computer...

    ...but events created on the computer do appear on the iPhone.  I'm using iCloud and other functions (e.g. Photo Stream) work fine.  I've browsed the community for suggestions, but keep ending up reading articles from 2007 or 2008.  Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.3), 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB mem
    OS 10.7.3
    I was able to solve the problem through a combination of two suggestions in the troubleshooting advice provided in the like you sent:  turning off and then back on the Calendars box in System Preferences/iCloud, then restarting the computer. Works fine now, but it's scary to watch all of your calendar events disappear after you uncheck that box!
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • ICal events entered in iPhone don't sync with Mac

    I am suddenly having problems with iCal entries made on my iPhone. They do not seem to sync with my Mac's calendar or on Mobile Me Calendar. I have tried syncing and still nothing. I initially had problems when I switched to the Beta version several months ago, got that fixed but now I'm suddenly finding events I entered on my iPhone not appearing on my Mac's calendar and I'm getting duplicates again, too. Very frustrating. I went to the duplicate calendar fix instructions at Apple but that didn't seem to fix my problem; I can live with duplicates. I can't live with missing events.
    Any suggestions or references to a fix? Thanks/

    I don't know if you have what I've also had, but http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12382141 might help. I have this problem too. It's quite annoying. I have to keep iCal open before it syncs.

  • 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

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

    that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

    Ok, this will work.
    1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
    2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
    2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
    3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
    4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
    5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
    It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
    Good luck!

  • With iOS 7.0.4 Notes on iPhone don't sync with Notes on iPad

    I upgraded both iPhone 4 and iPad 2 to iOS 7.0.4.
    With iOS7 my Notes on iPhone don't sync with my Notes on iPad.
    In both devices I have set iCloud ON for Notes.
    In the Notes App I selected the iCloud Account.
    But when I write a new Note on iPhone 4 it doesn't appear on iPad 2 and viceversa.
    How can I fix this bug?
    Thanks a lot!

    You're welcome

    You can't go to icloud.com using Safari on your iPad, you have to go there using your computer.  If you didn't do so, try going to icloud.com and check your notes using your computer browser.

  • New Events Created on iPhone Still Don't Sync to iCal 3

    I have been having the same problems that others have had:  events that I create on my iPhone do not sync with iCal since I upgraded to 10.5.  
    But now I noticed something even more bizarre.  After upgrading to 10.5.1, the pop-up menu in Itunes "Put new events created on the iPhone into this calendar" has switched from one of my calendars to a calendar labeled "Home."  The only problem is I don't have a calendar called "Home."  Nor does this "Home" calendar show up in other contextual menus in either iCal or Mail.  Odd.

    I found a solution that worked for me. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6002974&#6002974 said to Export and delete my calendars. I did that. As soon as I did though, I got a merging problem. I followed what http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5772325&#5772325 said and replaced my iPhone calendar with my iCal data (of course I made sure important events were in iCal first). But they talk to each other now and all is well in the universe again.

  • Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

    Hello,
    I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
    Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
    I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
    Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
    Can anybody confirm this behavior?
    Is there any setting that I can try?
    Any procedure that I should try?
    ny other suggestions?
    Thanks much!
    Erik

    Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
    I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
    There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing properly

    I've set iTunes to "Put new events creatd on this iPhone into the calendar" to my "Home" calendar, but when I create a new event on my iPhone and sync, the event shows up in the Read-Only "US Holidays" calendar (it's one that I subscribe to from Apple). I've tried the "Reset Sync History" feature in iSync several times (rebooting afterwards) but the problem persists. Any ideas??

    Items that I enter on my iphone also get added to a calendar that I subscribe to, which is supposed to be read only, even though I have chosen another calendar to add new items too. My read-only calendar does not appear in the select box in the itunes info sync page, but it is getting the events, no matter what calendar I do choose. Then when the calendar gets auto refreshed from its source, the events disappear. I cannot change the events to place them on a different calendar, once they are in iCal my, because the calendar is read-only -- to everything but iphone.

  • Syncing events created on iPhone via Calaboration to Google calendars?

    Downloaded the new Google "calaboration" CalDAV utility and sync'd 2 google calendars to iCal, and then with iPhone using iTunes. All worked fine. When I create an event in the iPhone Calendar app within one of the sync'd google calendars, it doesn't get saved within that calendar, but rather to "home" (the calendar I had chosen as the default under the phone settings). So I deleted all my non-google calendars in iCal and re-sync'd the iPhone, so now only google calendars show in the Calendar app. Now when I create an event on the iPhone, after having selected one of the google calendars, it gets saved in a new calendar called "Calendar", which apparently gets created at the time of the save. ?!? It would be nice to be able to create new events on the iPhone off-line and then have them sync to the right iCal calendar at the next iTunes sync (and then with google calendar via calaboration). Any ideas?? Thanks mucho.

    Unfortunately, nuevasync does not yet support showing events from different calendars as different on the iphone. They say they are working on it. Here is a clip from their FAQ at http://www.nuevasync.com/faq.html
    "*All my events are gray on my iPhone/iPod. Why?*
    At present we sync all your Google events to the 'default' calendar on Apple devices. Therefore they are not colored and when you create new events on the device they are added to your default Google calendar. Our service was developed originally for devices that did not have multiple calendar support and we need to update it for the iPhone, which does."
    This is not really an issue for me, but it would be nice if my wife's events could be colored differently from my own events. If this is important for you, another option is to use Calaboration to synch google calendar with iCal, and then just sync your iphone with iCal when you plug it into the computer. It's not over-the-air synchronization, but you're calendars should appear in different colors on your iphone. Probably just means you'd have to synch your phone with your computer every day to stay current.

  • Yearly recurring meeting created on iPhone breakes iCal sync with exchange

    I encounter a reproducable bug with Snow Leopard 10.6.1's iCal stopping sync with Exchange 2007 SP1 (Update Rollup 7), as soon a i create a yearly recurring meeting on iPhone 3GS connected to same Exchange Server via Active Sync.
    After creating this meeting, syncing in iCal is broken, reporting following error:
    iCal[31968]: GetCalendarItem operation failed
    iCal[31968]: error = Error Domain=CalExchangeErrorDomain Code=-11 UserInfo=0x117a06cc0 "iCal kann keine Ereignisse im Kalender „Kalender“ aktualisieren."
    iCal[31968]: Queue operation failed
    iCal will never get synced anymore, until this one meeting is deleted via iPhone, OWA or Outlook. Please note: E-Mail and contacts still sync without problems.
    Can anyone having a similiar setup confirm this to be problem!?
    Where can i "report" this officially to apple?
    Used versions:
    Mac OSX 10.6.1
    iCal 4.0 (1362)
    iPhone 3GS 3.1.2
    Exchange 2007 SP1 Update Rollup 7
    So everything up to date, except for exchange 2007 missing some fixes...
    To better reproduce this, here's the procedure:
    On iPhone create a new meeting, make it "whole day", set recurring to "weekly" and voila, next time you sync iCal it stops with exclamation mark!
    After testing, delete the meeting, but make sure to delete ALL instances, otherwise syncing won't work anymore:-(

    Hello all there,
    i was strubbeling with the same problem, but i found 'a' solution.
    Let's hope that apple would fix this in the next version of iCal.
    If iCal is saying that it cannot be synced, and you found an error like this "error = Error Domain=CalExchangeErrorDomain Code=-11 UserInfo=...." in your console, try this (read carefully).
    *What i have done.*
    1. Get an pc with MS Windoos en MS outlook in your exchange network (yes really, you need it)
    2. Open MS outlook (i used 2007).
    3. Export your calender to a .pst backup file
    4. Then navigate to "View > Current View" and hit "all events".
    5. Select all events then delete them all
    6. Import your backup file to the calender.
    7. From step 3 to 6, they are waste of time.
    *So... what you need to do*
    01. Open iCal and remove your exchange account.
    02. Get an pc with MS Windoos en MS outlook in your exchange network (yes really, you need it)
    03. Open MS outlook (i used 2007).
    04. Then navigate to "View > Current View" and hit "returning events".
    05. Note all of your returning events in notepad (also events from the past).
    +You can also delete these events from the past+
    06. Now delete all these "returning events".
    07. Press the send and recieve all button in outlook.
    08. Grab a cup of coffee
    09. Start iCal and re-setup your exchange account.
    If your exchange account is syncing with iCal then you can recreate the returning events. If it isn't syncing try to remove some other data, but be shure that you have created a backup file.
    In my case the error was in one of the returning events, but i have figured that out to delete group of events en try'd to sync again.
    Please note that my 3G iPhone was syncing very good, at time of this problem.
    This are the console error messages:
    11/6/09 06 Nov 15:16:26 iCal[291] Couldn't find an NSTimeZone to match the SerializableTimeZone
    11/6/09 06 Nov 15:16:26 iCal[291] WARNING: Failed to find TimeZone Identifier for Windows MeetingTimeZone: Casablanca
    11/6/09 06 Nov 15:16:26 iCal[291] error = Error Domain=CalExchangeErrorDomain Code=-11 UserInfo=0x11a287ee0 "iCal can’t refresh events in the calendar “Calendar”."
    My setup:
    MS SMB 2008 with Exchange 2007 (full updated till 2009/11/06 - today)
    iPhone 3G 3.0
    Mac OSX 10.6.1
    iCal 4.0 (1362)
    So.... i hope that you can fix your problem with my post.
    I will subscripe to this post for a while, so if you need some help; Post it!
    Have a nice weekend!
