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....

  • IPad & iPhone Sync problems

    This is starting to make a hole in my head!
    I have one album that doesn't want to sync with my iPhone. I tried repairing the database - no joy. Then I tried rebuilding the database - even less joy (since it deleted all the images from 2 of my albums and I had to replace those.)
    Every time I would try to sync to the iPhone, I would get a -50 error. Meanwhile, syncing the same album to AppleTV worked fine.
    OK, I decided this was probably due to a problem with a single photo. So I muddled through testing, and found 4 photos that were preventing the sync. I removed those 4 photos, and it was able to sync with the iPhone.
    But then I tried to sync the same album to my iPad, and the -50 error is back. When I get some time, I'll try to track down the additional images that might be causing it for the iPad.
    But this leaves me frustrated and confused:
    1) Why would the same album sync fine to AppleTV, but have a problem syncing to iPhone and iPad?
    2) Why would different photos be causing the same error on different devices?
    3) Why is this only an issue for photos in that 1 album?
    4) What would cause individual images not to sync?
    BTW - to fix the problem with the individual images, I duplicated the master for those files. I then lifted/stamped the adjustments. The new image was able to sync just fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Well, after hours of troubleshooting, I think I figured out the problem.
    First, the fix:
    Select all images in the "offending" album.
    While holding down the "Option" key, click right and select "Generate Previews".
    Then re-sync, and it works.
    My theory on why this works:
    I suspect there was no problem with the Aperture Library. I believe the problem was with the iTunes Optimized Image Cache - you know, when iTunes says "Optimizing xx of yy images for iPad". That cache, I believe, is only updated when there is a change to the image. I'm also guessing that deleting the image from the device (iPad or iPhone) does not delete the image from the cache, so if you then re-add it to the device, it pulls it from the cache. So the only way to re-generate the cached image is to make a change to the image. This can be accomplished by making additional adjustments to the image. But of course, no one wants to do that. So instead, another way to update the timestamp on the image is to regenerate the preview. When iTunes sees the update to the timestamp, it goes ahead and runs its "Optimizing..." task, recreating the cached image that gets dumped onto the iPad or iPhone.
    So, I believe this is actually a bug in iTunes.

    This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
    Any experience doing this the "right" way?

  • IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

    I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Chuck

    You're welcome.
    You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
    Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

  • IPad Calendar sync problem

    Hello. I have a strange problem that has come up within the past few weeks.
    When I create a new event in the calendar app on my iPad2 (ver 6.1.3), it doesn't sync with my other devices or iCloud. But, when I create a new event on any other device, my iPad will sync and the event will appear in the calendar.
    So far I've tried going to settings>iCloud and turning Calendars OFF, then turning it back on. No luck there.
    Any other suggestions? Thank you!

    Hey KazMogi,

  • IPhone Sync Problems with VISTA After iTunes Upgrade to 7.4

    Upon upgrading to iTunes 7.4 I was unable to sync my Outlook calendar or contacts to the iPhone. Called Apple Support that they seemed to know nothing about this problem general problem despite all of the discussions on this and many other tech. boards.
    After being told remove and reinstall iTunes and Outlook, set-up a new user account, etc... (none of which worked) I finally concluded that perhaps the .pst file being used by outlook was simply incompatible with iTunes for some reason (e.g. unsupported recurring calendar items).
    SOLUTION: Create a new outlook .pst data file. Once created, open up that new file along with the defective .pst file. Then, simply change the view of calendars and contacts in your old calendar such that you can see all of the items in a list. Highlight the items you want to keep and simply click-and-drag them to the nes .pst file. This solves all of the sync. problems I had post-7.4 upgrade. It takes less than 3 minutes to complete this painless fix.
    This was so annoying for me that I'd be happy to help someone complete this simple task if they need help. < Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >

    Then it would appear to be an issue with your router. What router? Model? Is the firmware up to date?

  • Lightroom for iPad.   Sync problem

    Lr for iPad.  Syncing .... To iPad.  Just shows a folder , no images and a   symbol in empty box with " import from camera roll " any ideas welcome please !!!!!!!

    TThe same thing happened to me a few days after installing the app. It seems that once the connection is broken, the Mobile collections simply disappear. I also had this happen when I booted my desktop and tried syncing the second time (oddly, not the first). LR told me it was trying to sync a different catalog. Thinking it was referring to the Mobile catalog (collection?) I clicked ok. My collections once again disappeared.
    Seems the Mobile collections are "fragile"? Until Adobe gets the direction all the mobile apps are moving in totally figured out, I'd suggest making LR originated copies back into your ios camera roll. At least then rebuilding won't be so frustrating. Really hoping they link LRM and PS Touch in Creative Cloud. That seems like A very logical next step and would make workflow intuitive and very useful on the run.

  • IPad, iCal and iTunes sync problem

    Early last year, I posted (https://discussions.apple.com/message/18503738#18503738) that syncing between my iPad 3 and my Snow Leopard iMac behaved oddly.  AppleCare Support dweebs had failed to resolve the issue and no one on here managed to come up with any suggested fix.
    However, for no apparent reason, the problem stopped and I stopped monitoring this august and highly esteemed forum and all went well ...
    ... until recently.
    I sync via a USB cable and I do not use iCloud (as I'm on Snow Leopard) save for Find My iPad, all other iCloud options are switched off.  All other app syncing appears to work correctly, it is only iCal and Calendars that don't.
    Just why things have started to go wrong now, probably in the last three or four weeks, I do not know but now the following syncing errors occur ...
    1) On the iPad: new appointments or changes to appointments made on the iPad are not synced to the iMac;
    2) On the iMac, changes to appointments already on the iMac are shown on the iPad as both the new and old timings/details, not as replacements;
    3) On the iMac, new appointments are made in the default (or last) calendar used.  These are then edited as required, with the details put in and, if necessary, calendars changed.  On the iPad, however, these will show as both "New event" in the default calendar and as the edited correct appointment, not just as the finalised entry;
    4) Appointments deleted from the iMac are not deleted from the iPad.
    In other words, changes on the iPad are not synced across to the iMac and changes on the iMac are synced twice, once as the unedited appointment and once as the edited appointment - if an appointment is deleted it remains on the iPad.
    When the original problem arose (similar but not identical) the Apple dweebs suggested deleting my iCloud account (not synced, used only for Find My iPad) but doing that this time does not remove the bug.
    I'm running a 27" quad-core i7 iMac under MacOSX.6.8 (Build 10K549), iCal v4.0.4 (1395.7) and I sync via USB  and iTunes v11.0.2 (26).  The iPad is a 64GB 4G/wifi iPad 3, currently running under under iOS6.1.3.  To the best of my knowledge, all available updates have been applied to both devices.
    I have deleted all calendars off the iPad by deselecting Calendars in iTunes' iPad tab, turned it off.  Swicthed off the iMac, Safe Booted and run OnyX full suite, I have then Single User booted, run fsck -fy three times then run applejack AUTO restart, then rebooted the iMac, rebooted the iPad, sync'd without Calendars then resynced with the Calendars selected again.
    I had hoped that this would remove any cache files, temporary files, stuck RAM or whatever else could conceivably be causing this bizarre behaviour - to no bl**dy avail!  It is behaving exactly and frustratingly as before!
    What on earth is going on?  if I can't use my iPad as my main calendar and add new appointments when out and about and have them synced properly and reliably to my iMac then the whole thing is a waste of time andI shall have to revert to a paper diary again!
    HELP!!!!! Please, before I go mad with frustration!

    I'm not sure whether getting no replies to this (or the earlier) query is something of which to be proud - or terrified!
    Am I the only person in the world with this bizarre insoluble problem?  if so, why me?  Am I a Chosen One or, more likely, someone to be punished for a lifetime of misdeeds!
    But there is progress.  I have no idea what happened at a technical level or why, but the matter has now resolved itself and things are syncing normally.  Until the next time!
    Perhaps there is a clue somewhere in the following ...
    I run my iMac 24/7 and thus I rarely close iCal on the iMac and when i do it is usually by accident.  The same applies to Calendars on the iPad, although I do reboot from time to time.
    Anyway, I installed some software on the iMac which required a reboot and, as susual, iCal opened via Preferences > Accounts > Startup items - only this time I was presented with a perfectly blank calendar.  A message appeared, from within iCal (oh, how I wish i had noticed what it actually said) saying something along the lines of "importing calendars".  This took a little while and it wasn't instant - maybe it does this every time it reatrts but too fast for me to notice.
    After this "import", if indeed that's what it was, the syncing was corrected!
    Coincidence?  Cause and effect?  Magic?  Too many magic mushrooms for breakfast?
    If that is what resolved the issue, then how can I cause an import deliberately for when the syncing goes astray again and just what does an "import" do that a normal launch doesn't and which might have resolved the glitch?
    I have had this "import" message before, but very very rarely, so it may well have resolved the syncing issue last time and I just didn't make the possible connection.
    Does that help anyone come to my rexcue with an explanation and, possibly, a strategy for preventing or deliberatly correcting syncing issues in the future?

  • ICal / iPhone sync problems - events don't appear in iCal

    I have MobileMe set up on both my MacBook and iPhone. All iCal-created events now appear on my iPhone (although only those after 9th May 2008; none before), but if I create an event on my iPhone then it doesn't show up on iCal. If I check MobileMe on the internet, my web-based version of iCal has all events, including those that I create on the iPhone.
    On iCal I have two calendar types: Home (Blue) and Work (Green). On my iPhone there are now four types, for some reason: two Homes (both Blue) and two Works (both Green). I have tried experimenting by creating events in all calendars, but none sync to appear in iCal on my MacBook.
    Help!

    After 3.5 hours on the phone with applecare, I believe this problem of not syncing ical from ipod touch to the ical app is resolved. Here are the steps that made it happen for me:
    Log out of main account and log into root account. If you haven't set up the root user yet follow the directions in your Mac Help on your computer. Make sure you understand the implications of setting up the root user account. You may want to disable the root user after you are done with this fix.
    In Finder, navigate to /Users/(your account)/Library/Application Support and delete every folder in the Application Support directory that has the word 'Sync' in the folder's name.
    Log out of the root account and back into your main account. Sync your ipod touch / iphone and see if this worked for you.
    Good Luck!

  • Ipad and iphone syncing problems results in lost work

    Hello all,
    Sorry if this is treated elsewhere but i couldnt quite find it. I got pages for the flexibility of being able to use both the ipad and iphone to work on the same document and it worked fine at first but now the iphone is having trouble syncing automatically. Now it asks me to resolve a conflict and choose between different versions of the document. I chose the one with the latest timestamp but it wasnt actually the latest version of the document from the ipad. When i went back to the ipad it didn't give any option except to click ok to accept the changes and so reverted my document to an earlier state. I lost all the work i did today and the undo button did nothing but go back to the last changes made to that earlier version of the doc.
    I realize there is little hope for restoring my work. I use a webdav account to back up to but unfortunately hadnt done an upload today. From now on I'll be doing it every ten minutes but i really shouldn't have to.
    Does anyone have any advice for this? Or at least an email to complain to the developers about their syncing procedure?

    Looks like I had similar problem today.  I was working on my MacBook on pages and then about an hour later I made some changes on my iPad.  This morning it looks like I have to resolve a conflict of having two documents and I have to choose one.

  • Ical & iphone sync problem

    Each time I sync my iphone to my macbook all new appointments are transferred, but the times on the iphone are reset 4 hours earlier. The appointments and times stay are correct on the macbook.
    I have made new appointments on the iphone and they are successfully transferred to the macbook, but the time is changed 4 hours back on the iphone. Has to be an easy fix?
    I have checked the settings to be sure time zones and all are set correctly. Anyone have any suggestions? I really just want to use ical and the iphone calendar together. Thanks

    On your iphone open Settings -> General -> Date & Time.
    If time zone support is on, make sure the time zone is set correctly.
    If the time zone is set correctly, try turning time zone support and set time automatically off.
    make sure the time on the iphone is set correctly.
    Then try to sync the iphone again.
    Hope this helps.

  • MobileMe - Muiliple iCals on two Macs, iPhone (Sync problem)

    I have two Macs : G5 PowerMac and MacPro.
    I have set up-iCal on PowerMac with a lot of Calenders to cover items like walking, music, meetings A, meetings B, activity C, etc.
    Sent email from one computer to the other to Synchronised iCal. However, I am now using MobileMe. What is strange is that the PowerMac does not find the "extra" calenders that I created on the PowerMac whereas, using MobileMe as well, the iphone finds them.
    I repat: both Macs synchronise iCals to the MobileMe however the extar calenders in the PowerMac are not sychronised back to the MacPro portable. However, they must be on MobileMe because the iPhoe finds them all ! Why?
    Thanks. Kevin GARDINER

    I think I have my own answer !
    I have worked out that the only way to proceed is to select either the PowerPC or the MacPro PC as the "MAster Calender". Then in the MobileMe preferences, I reinitialse the data with a transfer from the MAster iCal to the MobileMe. I wait for the date to be transferred to Apple's site "MOBILEME". Then on the second machine, do the opposite: reinitialise the data and transfer FROM MobileMe to the computer. I then have the same updated data on both machines and also on the MobileMe site. For the iphone, it gets, within the 15mins "push" settings, the data from MobileMe. THus all four sets of dataa are synchronised.
    Thanks for reading this.
    Regards,
    Kevin

  • ICal, Google Calendar, syncing problems and duplicate entries

    Hi everyone:
    I could use some help. Oy.
    At work, we use Google calendar, and that hosts my appointments. I find the Google web-interface impossible, and would like to use iCal to access the data on the Google servers. I have no problem doing that with iOS--my iPhone and iPad manage to sync up fine, and syncing works in both directions; i can add and delete either on Google or on the iOS devices and everything is fine.
    But on my desktop machine, I have problems of two sorts. First, once I follow the steps to add a calendar, the syncing seems broken; I can add and delete from the Google web interface, but nothing deleted from the desktop gets passed to Google. Second, I have many duplicate entries that show up on my desktop and some very old appointments that no longer should be on the calendar show up out of no where.
    What I'd love to do is a full reboot, eliminating all calendar data everywhere (except on the Google servers, of course, where the work stuff is stored) and start from scratch. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance--
    Roger

    Have you tried rebooted your Mac? (Not needed often, so we Mac users often forget to try this. ) Are you logged on with an admin account or a standard account? (Or one with Parental Controls enabled.)
    Sometimes I'll find the dialog window "behind" my other windows. Try not to click or move your mouse after you click the plus button. Or try moving windows around or minimizing them so that any windows that are hidden behind other windows are then shown. (In fact try closing all apps and Finder windows to reduce the possibility of this issue in the first place.)
    (BTW, your question really is separate from the original question, since the OP already has their Google account added to iCal and you are having trouble adding the account. In the future you'll want to start your own thread so that you can also mark posts answered or helpful.)
