ICal event times not in sync

Maybe this has been answered but I couldn't find anything on a search...
so my iCal on my computer and my iPhone iCal aren't syncing event times correctly. For instance I'll have an event on computer iCal at say, Friday 1pm but on iPhone iCal it says 6pm. All of the events have the wrong times on the iPhone.
I've reset my iSync history and that did not fix the problem. I've "Replaced information on this iPhone" and that didn't work either. Currently I sync my Entourage calendar to iCal and that works fine. But again when I then sync iCal to my iPhone it screws up all of the dates.
Any ideas why?

figured it out. it was a time zone syncing problem.

  • Wants to delete my contacts + double posting iCal events and not syncing

    Hi everyone!
    I hope you can help me.
    I have an iPhone + MacBook + iMac and use MobileMe as well. My iphone was full which resulted in it not syncing with my computers. I double checked the settings and saw the "Info syncing" had been turned off for some reason, which I then turned on, and I checked the MobileMe settings as well.
    So the situation is this now:
    My iCal events are not getting synced to my computer from iPhone or MobileMe.
    My iPhone has "double up" some events, meaning that I write them into the phone or my computer, they get uploaded to MobileMe, then synced back to my iPhone and thus appearing twice. I think these are the "old" events that were writing in before my MobileMe account was set up for syncing.
    iSync wants to delete 195 contacts on my computers, without modifying or adding any. I did this with my iMac and sure enough some 195 contacts were deleted! Aw! How do I get these back?
    My MacBook keeps prompting me with the some message, saying that syncing with MobileMe will delete 195 contacts, even though I have all these contacts present on my iPhone and my computer now.
    I do not understand what is happening. I can send the contacts to my iMac and add them again, but I am afraid that these will then appear twice as well. Why can does calender on my iPhone show both the ones I write into the phone and from MobileMe? Shouldn't these be "synced" via MobileMe, so all I have to do is set it up and it should take care of itself? And why oh why does it want to delete 195 contacts? I think these are all my contacts apart from the 5 most recent which I wrote into the iPhone.
    Can anyone help me? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. This is the iSync forum - which is for syncing contact and calendars to non-Apple mobile phones only. iSync doesn't sync between Macs or with MobileMe.
    MobileMe syncing is handled by *MobileMe Sync*, and the forum for that is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    However, you may need to reset your sync data. The process for that is described in this Apple Support Document:

  • Sync Failure - The following recurring event could not be synced

    Hello from Olympic London,
    My 9900 T-mobile (software 7.1.0 bundle 1149) and Desktop (7.1.0.32) are giving me hassle. When trying to sync Outlook I get Synchronisation Error - The following recurring event could not be synced: 01/01/1900 - HGT Band Practice. Remove the event and sync again. In the settings, I asked it to sync only future events. I OK'd the message but it recurs each time.I have deleted the recurring event from both BB and PC.
    Sorry if this is an FAQ. I have searched for it.
    Please be nice to the newbie!
    Edward

    I have the same problem on my Torch 9810 using AT&T.  Not only has the event been deleted from both Outlook and the device, but it is also from March, more than the 3 months old most events are kept, and Outlook is also set to only sync future events.  No future dates are now syncing at all.  Someone please help!

  • ISync syncs iCal Events but not ToDos

    I have been syncing with my Samsung i500 Palm/Phone sucessfully for a year.
    Since the OS X 10.4.6, iSync 2.2 update, my iCal ToDos longer sync in either direction. iCal Events sync just fine.
    I'm willing to clear out or delete anything to get this working again.
    Ideas?
    Thanks

    Did Mac OS X 10.4.7 and iSync 2.3 fix the problem?
    I sync'd my new Sony Ericsson w810i yesterday and To Do items came across perfectly.

  • All-day iCal events made on iPhone sync to Mac as one day late.

    Had this problem a little while now, can't remember what started it, but it hasn't always been like this. I remember first being aware of it near the end of last year because I wondered if the problem might correct itself once 2011 began.
    If I create an all-day event on the iPhone calendar, it will sync to the mac's iCal as being one day later. If I enter an event on my phone that's all day, Saturday the 5th of March, it will show up on my computer as Sunday the 6th.
    Events which are not "all-day" are completely unaffected.
    Both devices are set to the same time zone, with the iPhone having timezone support on and the mac having timezone support off. I've toyed with trying different combinations of these settings but nothing changes. I have to manually drag the mac iCal events one day earlier once they're synced. This fixes it, because it doesn't appear to then bump the iPhone copy of the event any earlier.
    But that's a massive pain and I've lost faith in iCal as a timekeeping device. Anything glaringly obvious that I've missed?

    I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
    I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
    I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

  • Help: event times not printing in month view

    ... and yes, I have checked "show time in month view" in preferences, and the event times display on the screen. But on the monthly printout, the times do not appear, only ellipses where the time should be. There should be plenty of space for the information to print, there is white space both at the end of the event line and in the day box. But no times show up at all.
    System data: Mac Mini, OS X 10.4.2, iCal 2.0.3 (1055), Brother MFC 7820N printer.
    This is really awful... I just switched my wife over to the Mac Mini, and calendaring is a big part of what she needs. And she uses month views a lot. If I can't fix this, she'll probably throw the Mac Mini back in my face and I'll be sleeping on the couch. Yes, she cares that much about times printing in month views.
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I don't know whether this a "solution" or a work-around, but I did find a way to resolve this problem. I recently started using iCal by transferring appointments from a BlackBerry using the BlackBerry PocketMac software. Although all of the appointment times appeared on the monthly calendar, most of the appointment times were replaced by ellipses when the monthly calendar was printed. It turns out that the times would print only after re-entering the appointment manually. This had to be done completely from scratch, i.e., not by editing the original appointment, or by cutting and pasting the appointment back into the calendar. This is a complete pain, but seems to work. I'd love to hear a better solution...

  • ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

    I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
    But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
    I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

    Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
    It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
    Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
    Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

  • ICal events disappeared (not linked to MobileMe or iCloud)

    Hello,
    I run iCal 4.0.4 with MacOSX 10.6.8.
    I recently noted that all events before 6 May 2011 have disappeared and I don't know why.
    The preferences are not set with the 'Delete events ?? days after they have passed' (the box is not ticked).
    I did a test yesterday looking if the events where disappearing but that is not the case, so this morning events after the 6 May 2011 still there.
    My iCal is not linked to ModileMe or iCloud in any way.
    Where are the events before 6 May have gone? Can I retrieve them? Would events continue to disappear?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    You need to ensure that each device (including the MBP) is using iCal from iCloud (NOT a local version of iCal).  Using the MBP as an example, click on the Calendars icon in the upper left corner and look for something similar to the following:
    If it does not say ICLOUD at the top, there's your problem.  Post back and we'll go from there.

  • ICal event times changed when my mac updated time to daylight saving time

    When my mac updated its time automatically to daylight saving time, the timed events in iCal all had an hour added to them. Time zone support is off in iCal. I tried changing my time zone from the system preferences (just to see what happens) and the iCal times also change. Is there any way to turn off this ridiculous and useless (to me) feature? I travel quite a bit and all iCal events are always added in local time scheduling. So there is no need for the event times to change when I change time zone!
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem but it's only some of the appointments that were changed. I think some were entered after the update and perhaps those weren't changed. Very confusing.

  • ICal event times are incorrect when importing to iPhone.

    For some reason, although iPhone imports events from iCal, the times for the events are incorrect! This is extremely problematic. Any suggestions on a fix? i am using Leopard 10.5.1, MacPro, and have the 8GB version of the iPhone.

    you may want to check your time settings on your macpro first: system preference>date&time>time zone... make sure you have the right time zone and city, then in system preference>date&time>date&time... check "set date & time automatically".
    then in ical: ical>preferences>advanced, make sure you have "Turn on time zone support" selected.
    finally on the iphone: settings>general>date&time, make sure you have time zone support selected and the right time zone/city.
    hope this helps.

  • I moved across the country. My iCal event times fell back 3 hours.

    So, I moved from the East Coast the West Coast. Now all my recurring events and items created on the east coast (while out there) are appearing as 3 hours earlier on my iCal and iPhone. Example:
    Original event time: 1 pm (created on east coast)
    Event time in iCal now: 10 am (3 hours earlier)
    DESIRED time in iCal: 1 pm
    Is there a way to do this automatically without having to go into each event and change manually? Thanks in advance!
    T

    Yes, go to your settings and under Advanced, turn off Time Zone support.

  • Can't Sync BB with Outlook - says recurring event could not be synced

    I used to be able to sync my Q10 -9925 with outbook then all of a sudden by calendar wouldn't sync and i get "Sync was unscuccessful, The following recurring event could not be synched:  "01/10/2013...". Remove the event and sync again.  However, this event has been removed and I still can't sync.  I have removed all of the recurring events for this item with still not success.  No calander entries are transferred from PC to phone.
    I have tried reinstalling Link and wiped the phone - still same error.
    Link is version 1.2.3.56
    Software is 10.2.1.2977
    Also getting periodic Connection Error with Link stating - There was a problem accessing the drive(s) on this device.  Disconnect and reconnect your devisce, and try again."

    Thanks, I have fixed problem.  I had to archive the calendar on outlook then completely wipe it.  For some reason it appears that something was still in outlook that was keeping the bb from synching.
    Tip - be careful about deleting recurring events.

  • Certain iCal Event Alarms Not Working on iPhone

    I have certain calendar event reminders that are not issuing on the iPhone (3GS, latest iOS 4.3.5) after syncing from iCal on the desktop with a CalDAV calendar running on Mac OS X 10.6 Server.
    Most appointments do issue alerts properly, but I've noticed ones that have some or all of the following attributes are a problem:
    1 - recurring on alternating weeks
    2 - alarm set for day before the event (e.g. 7pm the night before or "5 hours before all-day event" as calendar sees it)
    3 - alarms that do not conform to the short list of pre-set iPhone calendar alarms (5 min, 10 min, 15 min,... 2 hours before, 12 hours before)
    I have a feeling it's #3 or a combination of all. I've tried deleting and re-adding the calendar on the iPhone. I've also verified that the time zones match between phone and desktop iCal. In my case, the alarm never happens for these specific events, not that it happens much later or something.
    Anyone experience this issue?
    Thanks

    why so many views of this question and nobody had replied with an answer?

  • ICal events all deleted after syncing with computer

    I synced my iPhone and iMac two days ago, and only this morning realized that ALL my events in my iPhone's iCal are now gone!! I've been keeping track of several important doctor's appointments, my child's school events, personal medical issues, etc and now they're all deleted. After checking, it seems SOME of the events from June were transferred onto the computer's iCal, but then "stopped" there and nothing else was copied. My phone and computer have synced successfully many times, always "sharing" information but never deleting! What's wrong? Can this information be recovered? In some cases, my phone was the only place this information was recorded, so now it's gone. Thanks everyone for your help!!!

    Hi there,
    I'm having the exact same problem as described above, and I'm a little desperate to get my iCal entries back as well...
    Concerning the question of whether I have a backup: I'm actually not sure, maybe you can tell me whether I do? The situation is the following:
    I entered a (significant!) number of iCal entries on my iphone directly. The iphone, in turn, is being connected to my MB Pro at home, as well as my PC at work. Podcasts and such are updated from my PC, so I'm guessing that the PC is the primary iTunes linked to the phone. When I connected my iphone to the iTunes on my MB Pro, however, it asked whether I would like to synch as well. As I had a number of iCal entries on my MB Pro that I wanted to also see on my iphone, I agreed. It warned me (like many times before) that this would chance more than 5% of the iCal entries, but it never before had deleted any of them! When I checked again, all my direct iphone iCal-entries had disappeared.
    I have Time Machine installed and made a backup of my MB Pro just a few days ago - I'm suspecting though, that if the iphone iCal entries are gone from the iphone, my MB Pro iCal did not remember any of them either, correct?
    PLEASE, if someone could help explain this situation, I'd be incredibly grateful! I've never had it happen before that iCal (on either machine) deleted anything...
    Many thanks in advance!
