How to over-write iCal data with iPhone calendar data?

As of tonight, my iPhone 4's calendar will not merge to my iMac. The Mac with push to the phone, but not the other way around. I know for a fact that the "correct" calendar is the one on the iPhone (lucky this week I know that!), so I'd like a way to over-write the computer version with the iPhone.
So, problems to solve:
(1) Tell me how to reset the sync history in the newest version of iTunes
OR
(2) Tell me how to over-write data as described above (and pray it works the next time bi-directionally)
OR
(3) Point me to a fix for the original non-sync problem that I haven't discovered yet.
Your help is GREATLY appreciated as I've spent WAY more time on this than intended already. 1 minute sync --> 4 hour issue.
Thanks!
[iPhone 4 with 5.1 and Calendar; iMac with 10.6.8 and iCal 4.0.4]

Greetings,
Basics:
Turn iPhone and computer off and on and try again.
Ensure date and time on iPhone and computer are the same and try again.
More troubleshooting:
1.) Backup all your data:
Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.
Hope that helps.

Trouble with iCal syncing with iPhone calendar

When I create events or meetings on iCal on my Mac, they don't appear on my iPhone 4 anymore. Anyone help please

Hey Thanks for your suggestion, however, and this may be part of the problem, I
accidentally deleted the software a little while back thinking I did not need it.
So, any suggestions on how I can get a download of iSync. I do not have Time Machine
running currently, so, that option is gone. So, do you have any other suggestions.
Thanks...

How to over write VBBE data when Delivery is created if at the time of SO creation stock blocking is there

Hi,
I want to know how to over write VBBE data after delivery creation if stock blocking is there at the time of SO creation.
That means I want my confirmed delivery quantity to over write the SO quantity in VBBE table after delivery creation. Please help me with your valuable suggestions...
Thanks
Tanmoy

Hi Tanmoy,
This should happen automatically. The VBBE entry should reflect the quantity of the delivery requirement. Is it possible for you to post screenshots illustrating exactly what is happening on your system?

Hey floridiansue,
Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook? If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

Ask your question.How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar

How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar?

And the additional problem is that once you give in and go iCloud, no rep will tell you there are iCloud limits on iCal's size, so that if you're calendar is say 10 years old, with 10 events per day, and there's a 25K event limit, it won't work, even if you buy all the storage in the world. Which means that's syncing is OVER.
So far I've tried three calendar alts: Fantastical (rated one of the top iCal alts); Pocket Informant (allegedly capable of superpowers); and Calendars. Not a single one is able to do the one simple task of
1) integrating an ical ics file,
2) placing a calendar program on the desktop and the iPhone
3) keeping them both in sync.
And Google's cloud has even more restrictions than iCloud, and for frack's sake why can't I keep a calendar off the net?
This is really getting to annoy me. Chelsea, a tech support supervisor, offered that if I pay $99/year I can become a developer and get the next beta iTunes which will allegedly offer local syncing. Great.

How can I create a query with web service data control?

I need to create a query with web service data control, in WSDL, it's query operation, there is a parameter message with the possible query criteria and a return message contains the results. I googled, but cannot find anything on the query with web service. I cannot find a "Named Criteria" in web service data control like normal data control. In Shay's blog, I saw the topics on update with web service data control. How can I create a query with web service data control? Thanks.

How can I sync lightning with iphone calendar?

how can I sync lightning with iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added the google calendar as they described but I have no idea where to go from here

To sync with iPhone's calendar (also called iCalendar) you need to use a cloud-based calendar. If you already have lightning, install the Google Provider addon and setup Google Calendar. If you have already done that, go to settings on your iPhone. In the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars area, add your Google account, and turn on Calendar. This will sync your Google Calendar with the iPhone.

My iPhone calendar data got wiped

I think i trashed my iPhone calendar data, and not sure how to get it back.
iphone 4, 5.1.x, using Apple Calendar app on iphone, iCloud backup.
i use gmail as my primary/main email app , but apple calendar. All was fine UNTIL...
i wanted to sync my calendar to GOOGLE calendar so i could see it online on the web/google....
i went to systems settings, edited my entry for google, turned ON the blue switch for calendar.
then it synced and since my google CAL was empty , it appears that it WIPED out my calendar data on my iphone, and since my iphone is syncing with iCloud, it appears that it synced an empty calendar with the cloud.. so now i have NO data in my calander on google, none on iphone, and none in icloud.
i dont have a TimeMachine backup, and i dont have a backup on my macboook as i primarily use over the air syncing, and thought icloud WAS the backup.
how do i get my data back?
am i correct in thinking this is what trashed it?
anyone able to assist?
Thanks

How to escalate Time Zone bug in iPhone Calendar to Apple?

Hi, does anyone know how to escalate a bug in the iPhone calendar software to Apple?
Time Zone support on the iphone which causes calendar items created in location "Kuwait" to be saved as "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time", which means that they arrive one hour out of sync in iCal.
To replicate the problem:
1. Turn on time zone support in both the iPhone and iCal
2. Set the location to Kuwait on both
3. Create an item in the calendar on the iphone
4. Allow it to sync over Mobile Me
5. See that it turns up 1 hour out in iCal
6. Open the event in iCal and notice that it is set to "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time"
The workaround is to turn the time zone on the iPhone to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which apparently is correctly matched to "Arabian Standard Time"
Thanks
Giles

Outlook Calendar stopped syncing with iPhone Calendar

I deleted a recurrent event on my iPhone and this action appears to have confused the sync capability between my iPhone and MS Outlook Calendar.
Outlook still tries to find the recurrent event on start-up even though it is not shown in Outlook Calendar.
More concerning is that new events and changes in Outlook Calendar are no longer syncing with iPhone Calendar. The time to complete the Calendar sync activity is noticeably longer than any of the other sync actions, which suggests that there is a problem.
I have been through the restore routine in iTunes and also attempted to replace all the Outlook Calendar data on the iPhone using the Advanced facility on the iTunes Info tab.
I appreciate that this may be an Outlook issue but are there any other things that I can try to restore the sync capability between the 2 Calendars.
All other sync functions appear to work ok - I have created and deleted Contact data from both Outlook and iPhone and this works fine.
Grateful for any help!

I'm not sure if this will work for you. It seems every time I research a problem, everyone has a different solution that doesn't work for everyone. (I just spent an hour and a half searching for a solution in various forums.) But this one just worked for me.
I went into iTunes, into the Devices page for my iPhone, then to the Info tab. I unchecked Sync Calendars with Outlook. A pop-up appeared saying, I believe (I didn't write it down) "Do you want to delete previously synced calendars on the iPhone" - or words to that effect. Since I hadn't entered anything directly into the iPhone calendar in a while, I clicked Okay. Then I clicked on Apply (lower right corner of iTunes). The iPhone synced, and all appointments disappeared from the iPhone calendar. I then rechecked Sync Calendars with Outlook, clicked Apply, and the iPhone synced once again - and all my Outlook calendar appointments appeared on the iPhone.
This was, I admit, after having deinstalled all Apple software from my PC and reinstalling it. That didn't work on its own (still couldn't sync calendars), but I don't know for sure whether it had something to do with the success of the de-sync / re-sync.
Good luck. These solutions always seem to be hit-and-miss.

Can AIR interact with iPhone Calendar?

Hi, I work on flash platform and am developing an app for iPhone. In one of the module, there is a date field, so users can create an event using the date field. The module requirement is such that once a user selects a date, the date will be added to iPhone Calendar. Is there any API to interact with iPhone Calendar?
Please let me know your views.
Thanks,
Salim

Apparently with iOS 5 you can open an .ics file with Safari. That could give you the potential to write a calendar file and then open it with a StageWebView. I haven't tried it, but the hard part will be creating the .ics file. You could start by making a couple of test cases, and then see what the differences are.
