How do I get my iPhone calendars to replace the ones on iCal?

Basically when I sync my calendars with my Iphone, the calendars from iCal get put on my iPhone. I want it to be the opposite, because I add most of my appointments onto my iPhone and then I like to sync with my computer just so i can have a backup calendar in case something happens to my phone. Could someone please help me out with this??

The sync process for calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process or should be, and the same for contacts.
Try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
There is an option to replace all calendar data on your iPhone with what is available in iCal on your Mac, but not the other way around.
Try resetting the sync history on your Mac first to see if this makes any difference.

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

  • I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
    The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

  • How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    Thanks for the tip.  If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
    I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
    I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings.  It happens at work and at home.  It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside.  It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside.  It happens in motor cars.  It happens in airports.  It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge.  It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
    Hope this helps.

    I suggest contacting your carrier, typically if there is an issue with caller id its an issue with the carrier.

  • How do I get my iPhone calendar to update my outlook calendar?

    Just for a little background of what happened:
    For some time I have had 2 calendars showing up on my iPhone - although all of the events were simply duplicated on my iPhone only - not on Outlook. This has been rather annoying, so last week I decided to remove one calendar off of my iPhone. Unfortunately whatever my actions were, I managed to remove the duplication off of my iPhone, but I also erased all of the details off my Outlook calendar. Now I need to try to get the files off my iPhone and onto Outlook without loosing anything.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Kind regards,
    Kyle

  • How do I get my iPhone calendar events to show up on my Google calendar?

    I have an iPhone 4s. When I add a calendar event on my Google calendar it shows up fine on my iPhone calendar. I can delete that event on my iPhone calendar and it deletes it on my Google calendar so I know there's a "link." BUT, when I add an item on my iPhone calendar it doesn't show up on my Google calendar. I've tried waiting 15 minutes (the refresh time for Fetch) , and refreshing the calendar page but no luck.
    Help?
    DWM

    That response would work save one detail: This is my work phone so I get meetings and such added via corporate email, etc. Those go by default to my iPhone calendar so I was hoping there was a way to just sync everything that ends up on my iPhone calendar to my Google calendar.
    Thanks for the reply.

    How do I get the accuweather to be blue and how do I get the Ovi store thing on the bottom?

    That is NOT a picture of a PHONE. The colors, widgets etc are made up, they're not real. As far as I know there is no way except to make your own widget background, hack into the program's code and replace the widget background to your own. I would guess that it's not open source code so good luck. The programming may not be that bad depending on what language it's done with. I have no idea, not a programmer, but sometimes images like backgrounds are stored in DLL files.
    To customize  individual apps design you need to rebuild the actual software of the app itself. That is not a theme, it's not even a picture of a phone LOL
    It's a drawing so they could make stuff any color they want (the blue is probably just a mistake)
    edited: The OVI icon I've never seen before. Maybe it's on other carriers but I've never seen it. I know the contact pictures are set in the contacts list, I don't know how to choose an icon for an application shortcut but I know it's possible. Theme makers do it so it mnust be possible to do a single icon.
