Yes, you can create separate calendars in iCal, and have them sync separately. All controlled inside iTunes when you sync your phone, or Mobileme.

Iphone syncing, Keep gettting error cannot sync to many files open currently

iphone syncing, Keep gettting error cannot sync to many files open currently

After reading many suggestions, like turn off sharing etc. I discovered why iPod-iTunes sync is suddenly not working.
Too many push notifications!
When a application is installed you are often asked "do you want push notifications?", to which most answer "yes". However, each time an app. uses-up resources.
Solution: Go the iPad/iPhone notifications and turn the least useful off.
(Turning off sharing might work when you have almost enough resources left!)

ICal/iPhone sync keeps losing events

Several times recently I have entered a new event in iCal on my iPhone. Then at some point in the future, I go to look for the event, either on my phone or via iCal on my MacBook, and the event has disappeared. A couple of times I found that my calendar sync settings in iTunes had switched themselves off. Today, however, "Sync iCal Calendars" is still checked, with the "All Calendars" radio button enabled.
I have lost two doctor's appointments and a friend's birthday this way.

I have been having this problem since I got the iPhone two Years ago. It will work fine for a while, but occasionally get rid of events. I know of 3 in the last couple weeks that have been saved and are fine but then they mysteriously disappear.
The last time I talked to Apple Support, they told me that I am the only person that they have had report this issue and the only person that seemed to have multiple calendars (I have 23, and need them). It is funny how the forum talk about iCal/iPhone syncing issues but apple doesn't seem to know about it.
They had me back up all my events on the computer and restore them. Then re-sync the iPhone. That seemed to work most of the times, but it seems to be a problem again for some reason....I just lost a couple more appointments^%&*^%
I hope they find time to actually fix the problem. As we become more dependent on these calendars, losing appointment information becomes more and more frustrating. Enough to change phones...

ICal (desktop) to iPhone sync not working

My problem is with syncing iCal to my iPhone 4S. If I enter an event in the iPhone, it syncs via cloud to my desktop iCal program, but items entered on the desktop version don't push to the iPhone. Both calendars are set to the same calendar.
Any ideas about what I'm missing?
thanks

Try moving your calendar cache files from your user /Library/Calendars folder to your desktop, then restart iCal. If that doesn't work, try moving the entire Calendars folder. iCal will rebuild these upon restart but this last step will remove all your local calendar events if you have any. Don't worry, they're still in the folder you moved. If you happne to be syncing calendars via mobileme you can just sync them back down. You could also rebuild your events via an iPhone sync.

Outlook Calender and iphone sync not working properly (windows 7 os)

I try to sync through itunes and contacts work fine, but the calender only comes through partially. Single events work fine, but events (on outlook) which extend more than a day are completely ignored by itunes sync and don't show up on the iphone calender.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Alright... I think I have worked this out.
Clearing history alone was not enough. I had to clear the history THEN reboot the phone. My events seem to be coming though now. Interesting though... on events coming from iphone to outlook the right click mouse menu is disabled. If I want to delete, edit or alter that event in outlook I have to left click and actually open it.

ICal server + iPhone sync

We recently upgraded to a Mac Mini Server running 10.6.7. I've got the iCal service running on the server and it's working within our office swimmingly. Every user in the office has an account and we're all delegates of everyone else, so we can keep track of what everyone is up to and invite them to meetings. All works great.
The trouble comes when we try to sync a users CalDAV account with their iPhones. You can sync and view the CalDAV account on the phone but you connot modify it. So if a user is out of the office and wants to add something to their CalDAV work calendar while outside the office, they cannot.
You can add the event to your personal calendar, and when you return to the office you can sync with iTunes and then move the event from your personal calendar to your CalDAV account, but that's a bit of a pain in the rear.
Is anyone else running up against this? Any solutions?
iPhones are 3Gs running the current iOS.

Ok because this is a server based calendar, only devices with access to the server can create events; you will need to enable the Iphones to be able to talk through the network to the sever for them to create events, otherwise the calendar is essentially a read only file.
Now that i’m thinking about it, can you confirm that set up is similar as follows:
CalDAV
Server: cal.example.com
User Name: example
Password: ****

Ical to Iphone alarm not working

Maybe i have a bad combination. I'm using the iPhone 3 running OS 3.1.3 since 4 slowed the poor little down so much.
I have iCal events which i have no problems syncing between several laptops and the iPhone, but I can't seem to get the thing to pop up an alarm on the iPhone. I can get it to do it on iCal.
So I've tried Growl and OmniGrowl... first i started w/ the growlit.scpt and tried to get the event in iCal to read that script but I got an error that says connection is invalid... then I bought Omnigrowl thinking I needed something with the word Omni in it... :-) Got other pop ups on my laptop, but not on my iPhone.
Any suggestions? is there a "start over" button?
thanks

Did you have any luck solving this problem? I have the same issue too, but I have an iPhone 4. Would greatly appreciate if you had any feedback. Thank you.

ITunes/iPhone sync not working....(error message 13019 (repeatedly))

I have been getting this error message for about 2 weeks (may have been after the last update, but I'm not sure) and my iPhone goes through 4 of 4 stages of the sync, then when finishing, I get this error message. I've Quit and restarted both iTunes and iPhone, and it hasn't helped.... Anyone have input???

I am currently trying a fix found in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2830, but not exactly....
Instead of what they said to do (perhaps I misread the directions in the post) which didn't work, I de-selected the 'Include voice memos' box near the top, in the shaded box/area. I originally de-selected 'voice memo's in the list below that, which didn't solve my problem.
AND, Voila, sync complete, and STILL the same error message (13019)... Ugh! I will try more and report back again later...

IPhone sync not working after upgrade to 2.02

Hi All,
I upgraded the firmware to 2.02 this morning, and now iTunes will not recognize my iphone when trying to sync. The phone appears in the itunes interface, but everytime I try to sync I get an error message that iTunes cannot find/sync my iPhone?
Anyone experienceing this? Any help?

Had same problem....Apple tech guided me through this procedure that worked fine...
1) Sync your phone so that everything on your computer is as it should be.
2) RESTORE phone to factory settings. This is a choice in iTunes under the Summary tab when you have your iPhone device selected.
3) During this procedure you will be asked if you want to SET AS NEW PHONE. It is important to select YES to this option. This procedure takes some time...15-30 minutes
4) Set up your options for syncing from iTunes under the Info tab. If you change any settings here and ALLOW it, syncing will automatically happen. Make sure your calendar is being synced.
5) Check out the results...should be good.....I needed to sync a number of times to get everything back to normal.
6) Since doing this, the calendar syncs as it should and did before the upgrade, alone with everything else I want to sync.
Good Luck

Aperture to iPhone sync not working

I am trying to sync photos from Aperture to my iPhone and something is not working. The photos and albums that show up in iTunes when I select the iPhone are old and have been deleted from Aperture. Most of them are sample bird photos that came with Aperture. Those are long gone but they still show up in iTunes and my new albums don't. iPhoto sync works though. Any suggestions on what to try would be appreciated.

If I had this problem, I'd try shaking things up by following instructions to create a new Aperture library, and then checking whether iTunes reflects the projects of the new library. If so, there's a good chance the problem will correct itself when Aperture is instructed to open the main library.
I'd also see if there's an old library on my hard drive (with the demo bird photos) and I would delete that library and check whether iTunes now lists no projects at all.

HT1386 iPhone sync not working.

When I create a playlist on my computer, it does not appear on my iPhone after I sync it. What do I need to do so that I can transfer the playlist from iTunes on my computer to my phone?

connect your iPhone to the computer, then launch itunes. Select your iPhone, and go to the music tab. Ensure it set to sync selected playlists, then check off the playlist you want to sync. Click apply / sync

ICal iPad, iPhone syncing problems

I have turned off icloud calendars on both devices then I have reset them both and then turned back on icloud calendars, numerous times, yet still my calendar entries do not show up on my iPad.
I have both devices set to show "all events"
This is a recent problem.
I have an iPad 1 and iphone 4s

Many thanks, that was indeed true and it does answer part of the question. Do you happen to know why one event every now and then will not sync properly, but if you erase it and start again, it will? I am not joking....

Aperture to iPhone sync not working correctly

When sync'ing photo's from Aperture to my iPhone 6+ , I have filters that work perfectly in Aperture, but I still end up with photo's I shouldn't have (should have been filtered out) sent to my iPhone.
is this a known bug?
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Mark

Ignore what Apple have said about my iPhone. it's a 6+ with iOS8.

I have 2 iPhone 4S's, one is personal, one purchased by work for me. Can I use the same iTunes account to sync both phones while keeping the contacts that are synced as separate lists for personal phone and work phone, but also allow same apps for both?

I'm hoping someone out there knows if I can use 1 apple ID and 1 iTunes account to sync 2 different iPhone 4S's - one for personal use, and one for work use. I would like to be able to sync with the same music and app's on both, but need to keep the contacts and calendars completely separate between the 2 phones since I don't want personal data on the work phone or work data on the personal phone. Can you help me figure this out?

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

How do i sync my ical to iphone 4 - do I have to get the ical to mobile me first? I have tried and it does not work

I Do not clearly understand but as far as i have understood that if you want your iTunes playlist added to your iPod nano or touch automatically then you have to delete the existing songs in your iPod device and then drag the whole playlist to your device.
And next time when you add a song to the particular playlist in your Mac or pc, it will automatically be copied to your device when you plug in via usb anytime.
