HT1296 Trying to backup or sync calendar on iPhone to computer so I can have a copy
The only option for syncing my calendar is to outlook; does not give me the option to sync anywhere else. No data appears in outlook calendar, though, after syncing and after backup to computer. How do I transfer calendar to computer so that I can retain a copy and print when needed? Win 7 on PC. iPhone 4, ios 5.1.1.
First you need to copy the entire iTunes folder from the
old computer to the new one. You should also make sure
that anything on the old computer that goes on the iPhone
is present on the new computer.
If it is a Mac, this process is usually pretty easy by using
Migration Assistant which will transfer all that stuff over to
the new Mac.
If you are using a PC, I will defer that to someone else for
all but the iTunes stuff. You will do the same thing on the
PC, that is copy the entire iTunes folder to the new computer.
Migration assistant is available to move things from a PC,
but not sure how well that works.
When openning iTunes for the first time, you will need to hold
down the Option key on the Maccbook Air and you will
be presented with a dialog box and you will select open existing
library and navigate to it. Failure to do this, will create a default
library with nothing in it and you will have to move stuff again.
So if all the data is the same, you should be able to sync
just fine.

I want to sync calendar 's iphone to computer M
Help me please
Hey Jiranut,
Thanks for the question. The easiest way to sync calendars with your computer would be to use an Internet Service. Apple offers a free internet service called iCloud, you can learn more about it here:
Apple - iCloud - Your content. On all your devices.

Thanks,

when trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone to itunes it does not appear in the upper right hand corner under devices for me to click on
In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none. -
ITunes 8.1 won't sync calendars to iPhone for me
I just installed iTunes 8.1(50) and am trying to synch my iPhone. It appears to synch everything except for calendars. After synching is completed, iTunes displays an alert saying: "iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone 'Darrin's iPhone' because an error occurred while sending data from the iPhone." I have iPhone OS 2.2.1 installed. My console logs show this problem when the calendar sync fails:

Any idea what causes this and how to fix it?dcardani, in the iPhone support forum a poster referenced this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2654
It solved my problem. My calendars sync fine now. Try it. -
Recently my calendar will not sync to my iphone. I put it in the dock and then I get the message in itunes saying " syncing calendars with iphone" but the process never gets completed. It stays like this for hours. I have even left it overnight and it still was syncing in the morning. I don't have a large amount of calendar entries either. I tried restoring my iphone and that did not work either.
Any suggestions??I had a similar problem a while back and someone here helped me through it. That's the good news. The bad news is I don't know who and I don't remember what they said exactly. It was something to the effect of going into iTunes and checking a box to synch calendars. This basically purged my events in the phone and forced a synch of my PC events to the phone. It worked. I believe it was under, as in scroll down, mail items. Play around with that and hopefully the person who helped me will show up again. Good Luck. I know how frustrating this can be.

I get error message iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data on my wifes phone how do you correct problem without losing calendars info on phone.
One thing that might help.
1. open itunes preferences from the edit menu and click on the devices tab.
2. check the box to disable syncing for iphones connected to itunes and click ok.
3. Then click the button to reset sync history.
4. Now click ok to close the preferences window.
5. connect the iphone to itunes and go to the info tab.
6. scroll to the bottom of the info page and check the box to replace the ical data on the iphone.
7. then click apply on the bottom right of itunes.
This will overwrite any events on the iphone, including any events that has become corrupted.
Hope this helps -
My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?
I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

ITunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
error message
iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
I have spoken to Apple a couple of times in the last week (approx 2hr) apple support said it could be a Microsoft issue I have spoken to Microsoft and read endless information from the net and it seems that Microsoft is not the issue.
I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, reset all settings in Settings\General on the phone, reset sync history on the iPhone, upgraded microsoft office 2003 to 2007 and I am still getting the error message.
I have a iPhone 3G, pc is running windows 7 and just upgraded to microsoft office Home and Student 2007 and Office Outlook 2007.
iTunes version 11.0.2.26
iPhone iOS 6.1.3
I have the same error on my wife's iPhone as well.
Any help would be great.Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue. -
Error while merging data problem while syncing calendars to iPhone
My iTunes just recently updated itself to iTunes 12, I'm using OS X Mavericks on a Macbook Pro, and have an iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1.1.
Whenever I try to sync my calendars from my laptop onto my phone, I get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data". I'm not sure if it's an issue with iTunes or my phone...but everything else syncs normally.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!!hi there,
i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
and turn back on (MERGE!)
now SYNC it..
and that's it
PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same.. -
Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?
Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on. -

HT4059 I synced my ipad to my computer but I can't see my books on my computer?
I bought a book from Itunes on my Ipad. I want it on my computer also. So I synced the ipad to the computer but I can't see the book on my computer. What else do I need to do?
ok I thought you could do that. I guess I can only see itunes on my computer. I at least wanted a backup of the book I downloaded. Is that possible with ibooks?

when i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs. Take in mind this is my first time to sync with this laptop(HP 15 ENVY) and as well my laptop is just brand new. just got it a week ago. so how do i fix this prob. and also when i open my itunes store and then view my account it says error occurred either debug it through Microsoft visual studio or close program. I tired copying all the .dll files to the itunes folder didn't help
I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

Yes! You can use iTunes Match, which basically keeps your iTunes library in a cloud that is accessible from both your iPhone and computer.
