ICal entries to phone but no phone entries to iCal?

Hi!
Is it possible to copy all the iCal entries to my phone but nothing from the phone to iCal using iSync?
I only edit the entries from my powebook, and use the phone calendar as a reminder. So if for example i erase an entry from iCal, or change it somehow, I don't want the old version to be copied back in from my phone when I use iSync.
Nokia 6233 via bluetooth. Devices already set up and working fine.
Thanks

(i know this is old, but I was digging thru some isync/ical problems)
What you could do is to sync the events you create on your phone into its own calendar. So create a calendar called "Phone" (or whatever). Then load up iSync. Under the Calendars section there is an option to "Put events created on phone into:" and you can select "Phone" calendar from there.
*But*, you will need to sync the "Phone" calendar every time too (otherwise you can't select it with that option above). Still, for everyday use in iCal, you can just uncheck the "Phone" calendar and you won't see those events.
HTH.

Why are entries into iCal not synching with my droid phone?

When I enter calendar events into my Motorola Droid phone (Gmail), the entries automatically synch to my Macbook Pro Gmail and from there to iCal. But when I make an entry into iCal, though the entry appears on the Macbook Pro Gmail, the entry does not push to my phone. Why would the synching work in one direction and not the other? I was trying to use iCal because it's easy to just click on the dock icon to open it up, but if the synching is not reliable, I'll need to go back to just using Gmail for everything. Thanks for any input.

It's probably not compatible. This is the only thing I can see.

ICal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?

iCal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?
I have several entries (too many) on calendars created prior to iCloud. They are listed as calendars 'On My Mac'. How can I get this information to my phone? I understand that iCloud makes On My Mac calendars obsolete?
I use my phone calendar to see my duties for the day, and only add entries if I'm out and on the fly. These I don't mind typing into the iCloud calendars. But my regular process when I'm sitting in front of the computer is to add them via iCal using the On My Mac calendars created years ago, over time. I need to see this information while on the go. How can I?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.

I have a slightly eccentric back story to all of this; but basically i set a secondary entry passcode on my phone and i have forgotten the secondary passcode; it appears as though i no longer have the opportunity to enter the code after too many failed attempts -- "iphone is disabled, connect to itunes." i have connected to itunes on itunes on both 11.1 and 11.3 versions (my computer says 11.1 is the minimum requirement for my phone to sync) and attempted to restore my phone; THE RESULTING MESSAGE: "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." HOW THE HECK DO I GAIN ENTRY TO MY PHONE AGAIN AND GET SOME USE OUT OF IT. IT DID COST $$$ TO BUY. PLZ HELP!

Hey there Jachin W.,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to your home Wi-Fi suddenly on 2 different iOS devices. I would be interested to know if the affected phones are able to connect to a different Wi-Fi connection, but barring that I would use the following article to help troubleshoot the devices and the Wi-Fi connection:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
And this section from toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

I recently updated to IOS6 and I cannot sync my calendar to icloud and all my notes are not appearing in cloud. If I have a new calendar entry, it is on my phone, but not on icloud. Need help making sure I don't lose any informaiton.

I recenly updated to IOS6. I have a couple issues after the process.
1- I lost all my calendar entries after the date I upgraded to IOS6 (all before the date were there). I created an icloud account to assure that I would not lose any going forward. Now when I enter a calendar entry, it does not appear on my icloud account. I can enter it in icloud and it will appear on my phone, but not the reverse.
2 - None of my notes transferred into icloud. I tried to manually enter one on icloud, again so I wouldn't lose this information going forward, and it appears on my iphone twice. I cannot figure out how to get the notes currently on my iphone into my icloud account.

you need to do a backup of the old phone and then on your new phone restore from that backup

Calendar entries on phone but not on iCloud (web)

Hi,
I've been using iCloud exclusively on my iOS devices and macbook (I don't sync with google calendars or anything else). About a few weeks ago, I realised that some entries on my iPhone were not reflected on the iCloud calendar (www.icloud.com). Recurring appointments don't sync properly as well. It's not reliable - I don't know whether what I've entered on the go (whether by iPhone or via the web) is accurately reflected, or miss appointments because they're not synced properly.
What's the best solution to get everything back on track without losing my data? Or should I give up the ghost and move to Google Calendars?
Here's what I've tried:
1. Erased entries on the phone and entered them directly onto the web calendar. It syncs to my iPhone / iPad and then it disappears from the web calendar. (Especially for recurring appointments).
2. Entered entries on the phone and it syncs to the web calendar. It then disappears from web calendar.
3. For missing entries, I've made minor changes to the appointments on the phone (e.g. changing appt time by 5 minutes). It then shows up on the web calendar and I can edit it on the web and it syncs properly. But this does not work for all appointments. Furthermore, the same entry can go missing again a few days later.
Other information:
On my iOS devices and macbook: I use iCloud as default calendar. No local calendars at all.
I do have facebook invites syncing to my phone as well if that might be the issue.
Cheers,
Clara

How do I fix?
On the Mac if you are running Lion v10.7.2 follow the instructions here > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
If you have Snow Leopard v10.6 installed you need to upgrade to Lion v10.7 first in order to setup iCloud.

I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once. I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
In my city small claims is $5000.00
And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally. You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.

HT1296 I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone. New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa. I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update. Any suggestions?

It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.

I have managed to sync my iPhone 4 to my btyahoo calendar with caldav. All entries appear on the phone calendar on the correct date, but the time given is always 5 hours later than the (correct) time on the computer. How can I rectify this?

Why do the times for each event or appointment appear on the phone calendar exactly 5 hours later than the correct times entered into the Yahoo calendar on my P.C? Is there a way of rectifying this, either on the Yahoo calendar site, or on the iPhone?

Iphone 4 is stuck. I have tried a master reset and it didn't work. it won't slide to unlock or power off. I did somehow get to the passcode screen but it didn't let me enter anything. I have also tried on a pc through itunes but since I can't unlock it, it won't let me do that either.

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 4, I have lost the entries on my Google calendar. They exist on my phone but not on my PC. It won't sync and also won't save any entries I make on my PC. Can you help?

I don't know if upgrading to 5 would help.
