How do you connect your iphone to a mac so the calender gets updated wirelessly?

If you mean using iCloud, you go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then turn Calendars (and anything else you want to sync with iCloud) on. Then on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud sign in with your iCloud ID and check Calendars (and anything else you want to sync with iCloud).
This requires iOS 5 or higher on your phone and OS X 10.7.5 or higher on your Mac.

How do i connect my iphone to my mac that was/is connected with a PC?

I have an iphone and all my music came from the PC I had, but after the Pc broke down i decided to buy a MacBook Pro.
So now, I am wondering if there is a way I can connect my iphone to the mac without getting any of the music I have in it erased.
One of the songs I now have on my Mac was not bought from iTunes and i really want it in my phone, but don't know any other way since it is not on the icloud.
Help anyone ??? Please...

How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
(By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
Questions:
1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.

If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

It seems no matter what I do they can not recognize each other.

There is currently no way to do that.
It is noted as one of the new features in Yosemite/iOS 8.

How do I connect an iPhone 5S or 6 with audio video cables? Our van only has these connections. Apple did have a cable that worked with the 4/4S, but it does not work with an adapter on the 5S. I want audio only.

I Thought I probably was.
something like this should work then, right?

How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

You might want to take a look at Printopia....although you may find that you need to have the printer connected directly to your computer for this work.
If you try it out, please post back with your results.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

You can also sync to iTunes using WiFi.

Yes, you can do it the same as any other database. The code would be similar.
I'd also suggest you not to use the JDBC ODBC bridge for connection. There are other drivers available for that.
