I lost my sync with iCal and contacts on my iPhone 3GS when I upgraded to iCloud.  It worked just fine with Mobile Me.

I upgraded to IOS5 and iCloud on my MacBook Pro after I upgraded my iMac to iCloud. I keep my phone in sync with my MacBook, but now my Contacts and iCal will not sync with my iPhone3GS.  What have I done wrong?

I had the same problem and believe I figured it out.
Calendars: In iTunes, with your iPod plugged in, go to the 'info' tab. De-select "Sync iCal Calendars". This fixed dupes, and did not erase any entries because MobileMe is keeping me updated.
Contacts: Whether I select or deselect "Sync Address Book Contacts, I still get duplicate contacts, but only when I look at "All Contacts". Go to "Groups" in Contacts on your iPod and select either "All from My Mac" or "All MobileMe". You get a single copy of each contact. Give it a minute or two after syncing as it takes a bit for MobileMe to update everything. At first I had a different number of contacts in each list, but a couple minutes after syncing, both lists matched.
Hope this helps...

  • While looking to upgrade to a new MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me. are there any workarounds?

    While looking to upgrade to a newer MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. Syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me for several reasons. Are there any workarounds or do I have to go back to a PC with my tail tucked between my legs?

    When you say wired syncing, are you meaning between an iphone and your mac?

  • TS3988 my contacts on my Iphone disappear when I enter my ICloud password

    My contacts disappear on my IPhone 4 when I enter my ICloud password.  Anyone else having the same problem, and what is the solution?

    Prior to entering your iCloud ID and password, when turning on iCloud, were you using some other account?  When switching accounts, data from the old account are deleted from the device.  Otherwise when you turn on iCloud, you should still have the old contacts listed in "On My iPhone".  Its the "iCloud" grouping that would contain new contacts that you enter to sync with icloud.

  • I upgraded to Mt. Lion and now I have duplicates in notes and contacts on my iPhone 3gs. Is this a sync issue? I have 4 e-mail accounts and the iCloud is one of them.

    Maybe my title says to much. I have multple contacts, notes, sometimes just two, sometimes 14. I upgraded to Mt. Lion and that may be an issue or maybe syncing is the issue. It is making me crazy/er! I have 4 e-mail contact lists and that may be part of the issue with e-mail but why duplicate notes? I am stumped. Please give your thoughts for a solution. I have deleted the duplicates from iPhone (3gs, iMac, and iPad2).
    Thanks,
    Jim

    I forgot to say that the duplicate entries return after I have deleted them. Strange to me is why do some contacts show up as many as 14 times. I am suspecting that there could be an issue with iCloud or iTunes. Truly a mystery to me for now.

  • HT1386 Is it true that I can no longer sync my calendar and contacts via cable but have no option other than iCloud?

    Thought something was wrong with my iMac, but found that the new OS will no longer allow me to sync contacts and my calendar with my iPhone unless I do it with iCloud.  Do not want to sync remotely and am disappointed that there seems to be no option.  Hoping I read the help (sic) message wrong.

    Dear Fl,
    What are your concerns syncing with icloud?

  • Outlook 2011 no longer syncing with iCal and contacts

    I have installed Yosemite recently on my Macbook Pro. I run MS Outlook 2011 for professional reasons. Until now, syncing with my Android phone worked (almost) fine, using a nice app called SyncMate. For a few days now (not sure it is linked to installing Yosemite though) new data on my outlook calendar and address book no longer appear on my phone after syncing. After checking I realized that Outlook is actually not syncing any more with iCal and Contacts, so of course the syncing with the phone cannot work. How can I resolve this ?

    facing the same problem, it was syncing prior to my upgrade to Lion. have you managed to find a solution?

  • Syncing multiple iPhones with iCal and contacts

    My roommate just bought an iPhone and synced it for the first time with my iMac, but now he has all of my contacts and calendar appointments and none of his own. Do iCal and Contacts support multiple profiles? Is it possible for him to store his contacts on my iMac with iLife and sync without interfering with my contacts?
    Sorry if this is a noobish question or if it's already been answered. I looked and couldn't readily find any topics that matched this question.
    Message was edited by: k2tha-izzo

    Your roommate will need to have all of his contacts in a specific group, as well as all of his calendar appointments in a specific calendar.
    In iTunes, go to the info tab on the iPhone in iTunes and have it only sync that calendar/group.

  • Best way to sync iCal and Contacts with MS Outlook?

    There are three people in my firm and we want to have a "cloud" calendar and address book that syncs our laptops and mobile devices.  Plaxo Platinum is the closest I can find.  However, it does not sync with mobile devices.  Thank you!  Steve

    iTunes serves as the sync conduit for contact information, calendar events, bookmarks, and for photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
    iTunes is required for this.
    Outlook includes an option to forward all contacts as separate vCard attachments with an email message.
    Send the message to an email address that you access with an email client on your Mac.
    Save the received vCard attachments to a created folder on your Desktop, and then use the Address Book import feature to import the vCards.

  • Why can I no longer sync iCal and contacts without iCloud?

    I dont use iCloud basically because by doing so all your data - specifically your contacts and calendar - gets uploaded to an Apple server where it sits for ever. If you decide you want to stop using iCloud (like you decide for some weird reason to use windows instead...or you move somewhere where there's no internet - its possible) it deletes your data from the device you have unsubscribed from. This basically means once you are on iCloud there is no going back. Apple basically acts as if it owns you and your data and inorder to access it (excude me but my calender and contacts list belongs to me) its obligitory to use Apple and iCloud...if you dont it gets deleted and is gone for ever.
    So I sync via USB/WiFi...but now after 'upgrading' to Mavericks this option is no longer permitted? You MUST use iCloud.....WHY?? - I dont want to!
    I run a business and use iCal to make all my business bookings - these used to sync easily between my iPad and my iMac. Now it doesnt unless I hand over the rights to all my data for all enternity to Apple inc.
    This is my stuff and it doesnt belong to Apple - I want to keep it that way
    How can I sync iCal and Contacts without signing away ownership of my diary and contacts to Apple?
    Am I going to have to ditch my Mac?? Why wasnt this more widely publicized??
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
    Here is one way

    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

  • After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.  Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

    After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
    Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
    Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
    THANKS

    1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
    2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
    3.     Select "See All Options"
    4.      Select "Phone" menu
    Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
    If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
    Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

  • How do I sync my calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my phone? My laptop is Mac OS X, 10.6.8 and still has MobileMe on it.
