HT1386 I cannot sync the calendar on my MacBook Pro with either iPhone 4s or my iPad -I followed the apple instructions to sync but the data is not registering. Sorry if this is something very simple!

The info screen says my calendars are being synced over iCloud which they aren't pluse I want to sync them via the usb connection - how do i change that setting? Thanks

Hello Danny,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article for you to help troubleshoot why the calendar data is not syncing over to your devices.
It is named Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627.
There are different instructions depending on your OS in the article.
If for some reason the issue persists, I would take a look at the article named Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2481.
All the very best,
Sterling

  • HT4759 How do I sync my calendar from my macbook pro to my iPhone 5S?

    The closest Apple store to me is 2+ hours away.  While vacationing in FL, I took my laptop and new iphone into the local store in Naples. The "genius" who helped me set up "the cloud" and supposedly started it syncing.  (Said it would take about 10 mins.)  It's been two days now, and I can't get rid of the little bar running across the top that says "Moving calendars to server acct..." nor can I move the page of my calendar off of the month of Feb!  Nothing is happening on my iphone, and now my calendar seems to be frozen.  Shutting it all down does nothing. When I reboot the laptop and open the calendar the little bar is still running with that message, and I cannot use my calendar. Any help would be most appreciated!  Thanks.

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • I make changes on the calendar of my MacBook Pro but the changes do not take and revert to what the entry was prior.

    For the past week or so, I have made changes to the calendar on my MacBook Pro. The changes do not "stick" on my MacBook calendar and do not sync with any other device (iPhone or iPad). I just can't figure this out. Anyone have any suggestions?

    By everything, I am assuming you have tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) and PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379). If you haven't tried this yet, please do!
    See the following support document as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367.
    The update you're talking about was the firmware update. Hopefully resetting the PRAM gets you up and running. Try resetting it 3 times in a row (hold the keys down until you hear 3 startup chimes).

  • I have Lion on my IMac and it is hooked up to I Cloud, however, even though all settings are correct I am not getting auto sync of calendars  to my I Mac from my IPHone 4S or my iPad 1. Neither am I getting Photfrom my IPhone to my I Mac?

    Can someone set me straight?

    Check system preferences to make sure you have iCal and your photostream checkmarked to TRUE.
    If you still have problems, give us more details.
    Also, make sure the calendar in iCal you're using/looking at is not "On My Mac", but actually an iCloud one.

  • Calendar frozen on Macbook Pro with Yosemite

    Hi
    When trying to sync calendars on my Macbook Pro with iPhone 4S, calendars has frozen with message "Moving calendars to server account". I have to force quit to get out. Syncing had been working fine until 2 days ago. All settings on Macbook and phone are correct.
    Any suggestions?
    Adrian

    Quit Calendar and also the Reminders application, if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data.
    In the iCloud preference pane, uncheck the boxes marked Calendars and Reminders. You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to delete your iCloud calendars and reminders from the computer. They'll still be on iCloud.
    Relaunch Calendar and select
              Calendar ▹ Preferences... ▹ Accounts
    Click the plus-sign button at the bottom of the account list on the left (which may now be empty) to add a new account. Select iCloud and enter your credentials. Your iCloud calendars should appear after a brief delay.
    Do the same with Reminders.

  • HT1947 Can I control the volume of my MacBook Pro with the remote app on my IPhone or IPad?

    Can I control the volume of my MacBook Pro with the remote app on my IPhone or IPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To an extent yes. You can't control the master volume, but tou can turn the volume up and down, up to the maximum set manually on your computer.

  • Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

    Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

    Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
    Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
    However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

  • Why doesn't my iPhone update the calendar in my MacBook Pro?

    I keep my calendar in my iPhone, but that calendar doesn't transfer to the calendar in my MacBook.  It used to happen automatically, but it doesn't any more.

    Hello Wepoccnr,
    If you are not seeing your calendars syncing up and you are using iCloud, take a look at the articles below to sort it out. Make sure to look at what your default calendar is so that way when creating new calendars that it is going to iCloud and not a different calendar that you may also be syncing with. Another option is to sign out on both devices, keep the data and then sign back in to get it to sync back up.

  • Create the internet network from MacBook Pro (Aircard) to iPhone and iPad

    I would like to create the internet network from MacBook Pro (that used Aircard) to iPhone and iPad. I already turned on the internet sharing, but could not create the internet network. Please let me know how to solve this problem.

    Couldn't you attach your iPhone to your computer and upload and add your iPhone Contacts to your iTunes Contacts and then sync the iPhone? Add one unique contact and calendar entry to your computer. You should then get the option to merge.

  • HOW DO I FIND THE EJECT BUTTON ON MACBOOK PRO WITH RETINA

    i have a macbook pro with retina display , and i want to know how i eject the disc from the apple external optical drive i can't see the eject button on the keyboard layout.

    It's not a matter of failure, it's the idea of training people to associate the Trash with unmounting a volume. The Trash is a mechanism for the permanent deletion of your data, and designed to appear as such. Apple haters used to laugh at this..."Eject by dragging to the Trash? And you say the Mac is intuitive? Ha ha ha..." And they were right. It's better to teach ways that actually make more sense.
    The great thing about all the newer ways is that they are easily discoverable, you don't have to remember or figure out that you have to virtually trash your disk. A new user would naturally expect to find an Eject command or button, and there they are in plain sight.

    I always find a ton of mounted installers left behind by users who install stuff on their systems.  I don't understand why Apple cannot make an automated process to unmount the installer once it's done.  Just seems stupid to me I guess.  I've seen that mounted installer confuse people into clicking on it each and every time they want to start the app because they don't understand that once it's installed, that installer should be ejected because they're done with it.
    I agree about the installer volume behavior...and Apple made it worse in Mountain Lion by putting the volumes on the bottom of the Finder sidebar, which is often out of view. Incidentally, drag-to-trash does not seem to work with volumes in the sidebar, but the other Eject methods do.
    The "installer problem" is another reason I love the other methods much more than dragging to the trash. To eject multiple volumes by selecting them and pressing Command-E is much faster than the time taken to gather them up with the mouse and drag all of them to a specific spatial target.
