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!

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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 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.

  • Changes to calendar on iPhone don't appear on iCal or iCloud calendar

    Objective: make changes to calendar on iPhone (iOS 5.0.1), iPad (iOS 5.0.1), iCal (on MAC with 10.7.3) that automatically sync with each other through iCloud.
    I had a MobleMe account and moved to iCloud. However, when I make changes to my calendar on iPhone or iPad they do not appear in iCal on MAC or on iCloud calendar.
    As an aside, when I make changes to iCal or on iCloud they do appear on iPhone if I connect it to iTunes.
    Ive been searching through forums and trying different things all day & still can't figure it out.

    Oh yes, and I forgot. Click the rectangle button on top left (Caldendar) in iCal. Make sure that iCloud calendar is listed and that when you are adding an event, you are actually adding it to the selected iCloud calendar, and not some silly Work or Home calendar under On My iPad.

  • Events Added on Touch Don't Appear in iCal

    Hi,
    When I added a new event on the iPod Touch and then sync with my MacBook, the new event does not appear in iCal. However, iTunes does ask me if I want to modify the specific calendar, and if I then delete the event from the Touch it will ask me if I want to delete the event upon next sync. So, it would appear that events are getting added to the calendar but aren't appearing in iCal. I've tried a variety of things, including using a different calendar, switching from syncing all calendars to only a specific set, and even resetting the iPod.
    I suppose this isn't a huge issue, but it's obnoxious to have to manually enter events into iCal after I've already also added them to the iPod. Syncing in the opposite direction (iCal->Touch) works just fine.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Events created in iPhone not showing up in iCal

    The reason for the problem is that Tiger and Leopard used different places to store iCal calendar information only clearing out BOTH and starting fresh will ensure no old calendars from Tiger get in to corrupt the new Leopard ones.
    Tiger stored calendars in: Users/<Username>/Library/Application Support/ical
    Leopard stores calendars in: Users/<Username>/Library/Calendars
    Remove both these folders and quiet both iCal and iTunes.
    Then just to be sure reset the preferences in iSync. Launch iSync>prefs>reset sync history. This may grey out as it thinks its done or not needed. This greying out happens if there are no devices listed in iSync, if so relaunch iSync and you get a short time to try again. iSync looks like its not syncing anything if you are only using .Mac and iPhone. This is because iSync previously controlled syncing .Mac but this is now in System Preferences and iphone syncing is done through iTunes in fact it iSync is still keeping a log behind the scenes, Its this log of sync history that needs to be reset.
    Then open iCal and iTunes, iCal will remake the default calendars Home and Work. Which you can rename.
    I had no old calendars to export and I'm not sure that bringing old ones back in will not cause problems again, for me starting fresh was the best way. If you can't then try exporting your current calendars and then do the clear out, bring them back in at the end. Hopefully they will go into the new Leopard location the old Tiger one will not be recreated.
    Success! Thanks to Apple in Cork.

    This is a posting of a problem and solution.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • LR is recognising Colour checker passport but my user created camera profiles don't appear

    HI there, I run OS X Yosemite on a MBP and have Creative Cloud access to LR and PS.  I have Xrite Colour Checker Passport installed.  LR is recognising the Colour checker passport but my user created camera profiles don't appear in the Develop Module.  Anybody else had / have this problem?

    Profiles are camera-model-specific and only for raw files not JPGs. 
    I suppose it’s possible that the folder the profiles are in is not accessible to LR, so you might try changing the permissions to make sure everyone can access them.  I am a PC person so am not sure how to do this but I’m sure Google can tell you.
    If you can’t figure it out, upload the profile file (.dcp) and the raw file that was used to create it and perhaps one more raw file from the same camera that the profile should apply to, and someone else can try on their system, to verify the profile is valid.

  • ICal / iPhone sync problems - events don't appear in iCal

    I have MobileMe set up on both my MacBook and iPhone. All iCal-created events now appear on my iPhone (although only those after 9th May 2008; none before), but if I create an event on my iPhone then it doesn't show up on iCal. If I check MobileMe on the internet, my web-based version of iCal has all events, including those that I create on the iPhone.
    On iCal I have two calendar types: Home (Blue) and Work (Green). On my iPhone there are now four types, for some reason: two Homes (both Blue) and two Works (both Green). I have tried experimenting by creating events in all calendars, but none sync to appear in iCal on my MacBook.
    Help!

    After 3.5 hours on the phone with applecare, I believe this problem of not syncing ical from ipod touch to the ical app is resolved. Here are the steps that made it happen for me:
    Log out of main account and log into root account. If you haven't set up the root user yet follow the directions in your Mac Help on your computer. Make sure you understand the implications of setting up the root user account. You may want to disable the root user after you are done with this fix.
    In Finder, navigate to /Users/(your account)/Library/Application Support and delete every folder in the Application Support directory that has the word 'Sync' in the folder's name.
    Log out of the root account and back into your main account. Sync your ipod touch / iphone and see if this worked for you.
    Good Luck!

  • 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.

  • Put new events created on iPhone into subscribed calendar?

    Is it possible to put new events created on my iPhone calendar into a subscribed calender on my MacBook's iCal? It doesn't seem so. The "Calendars" section of the info tab in iTunes sync lets me use any local calendar that I have created in iCal ("work" "home:", etc.) to put new events into from my iPhone. And they do indeed show up after synching. But what I would really like to do is put them directly into a calDAv calender I subscribe to on the MacBook and that doesn't appear to be an option.
    To be sure, events from the calDav calender show up nicely on the phone when I synch. But phone to calDAv on the MacBook would be handy because MacBook syncs directly with the calDAv server.
    Thanks for any help with this.

    I just realized that I have terminologically muddied the waters with how I posed my question. Permit me to put it better: can I put new events created on my iPhone onto a calDAV calender on my MacBook?
    The way I orignally posed it in terms of a subscribed calendar was wrong, inasmuch as you don't subscribe to a calDav calendar; you sync it.
    My apologies for the inexactitude. I hope someone can help me.
