ICal+iPhone Calendar+Google Calendar and mobile me

I have an iPhone 3g 2.1.... i am running the most recent version of Mac OSX and i have the newest iCal installed on my mac... My google calendar syncs with iCal through CalDAV. I also have Mobileme and it syncs with iCal. I want to be able to have a sync between iCal,Google Calendars and iPhone. I thought this would work with Mobileme.When i set up my calendar and google calendar it creates a different calendar.... I need the same calendar synced between all three..

IE: you don't have to sync your iphone with your computer. Instead, when you edit or add an event in your google calendar it will automatically update your iphone's calendar over the cell network, without you doing anything. Also, if you add or edit an event on your iphone's calendar, it will automatically update your google calendar as well. That way, you don't have to mess with ical. Just use google calendar and your iphone's calendar.
Since you've already got your iCal synching with your google calendar via CalDAV, your iCal will come along for the ride.
Thus, you can do all this for free, without mobileme, and without even having to plug your iphone into your computer to synch it.
Go to this website to check out Nuevasync. http://www.nuevasync.com/ You have to sign up for a free account, but it doesn't take long and they won't spam you or anything. Then go to "device setup instructions" and It will tell you how to set it up on your iphone. I've been using it for about 3 months now and it works great. (I don't work for them or anything, just love their service!)

I've considered using NuevaSync, but it looks like it will use my gmail contacts instead of address book? Is this true? I'd prefer to keep the address book.
Honestly, If I was able to edit calendars that I have synced with iCal from Google through CalDav(CalDev?) I'd be fine, (Right now iCal syncs with Google and my iPhone synce with iCal), but when I add an event on the iPhone, it doesn't allow me to edit any of the synced calendars. I can only edit a separate, unsynced calendar. Does anyone have any idea how to edit a synced calendar?

Problem - I input a new event into my iPhone calendar and it does not update on my iMac or iPad. I have loaded the latest software on all devices and have switched over to iCloud. Suggestions?

Problem - I input a new event into my iPhone calendar and it does not update on my iMac or iPad calendars. I have loaded the latest software on all devices and have switched over to iCloud. Suggestions?

On the iMac open System Prerferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect then restart the iMac.
On the iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Hopefully the event synced over all the devices.

I am losing appointments on my iPhone calendar and also on Outlook

I am losing individual appointments on my iPhone calendar and on my back up Outlook calendar (and previously iCloud). Is there any good way to prevent this?

This is a long shot, but you might want to open your calendar on icloud.com and check the preferences. You do this by pressing the gear shaped button on the top right of the calendar on icloud.com and selecting the first option that appears in the drop-down list. On the window that opens select Advanced at the top. Here you will see an Old Events & Reminders section. Make sure none of the three boxes are checked in this section, particularly the second one. If they are, this may be what's keeping your old calendar events from appearing on your phone, and unchecking the box should restore the old events (although it may take up to several hours for the old events to be re-synced to your phone by iCloud).
Hope this helps!

I am having multiple issues with syncing my iphone calendar and outlook There are often 1 hour time differences in the entries on the 2 devices and sometimes events that have been amended are not updated on iphone I mostly enter items on my laptop

This sounds like an error in Time Zone support. The time zone needs to be the same in Outlook as well as the phone.

Ical, iphone (mobileme), google calendars and sharing...

My first question is as follow: I use googlemail at work and have a work calendar. I would like to be able to see that in ical (at home) and on iphone through mobileme. Is this possible? How?
Similarly, I have a personal calendar which i keep on mobileme (and in ical). I would like to be able to see this in google calendars. Is this possible?
Second question is I would like my husband to be able to see my personal calendar (mobileme). He has ical but does not have a mobileme account.
And is it possible for him to see a googlecalendar of mine on ical?
Thanks very much for any help you can offer.

There is a brilliant little App called 'Spanning Sync' which does just that! It syncs your iCal to your Google calendar and it is very easy to set up and use. However, it only lets you sync with one Google account per licence. If you need to sync to more than one Google account, you need to buy more licences. I use it very successfully and would recommend it to you without reservation.

"on my iphone' and 'Mobile me' calendars and mobile me

I just upgraded to 3.1.2 and it automatically created 2 calendars on my phone. Birthdays won't show on the Mobile me calendar on the iphone even though it shows on the mobile me website??
Any changes to the Mobile me calendar sync to cloud and phone vice versa, but will not sync to iphone calendar... now i have got 2 calendars with different info. Apple shop guy could not find a solution. I restored the iphone and stopped calendars from syncing via itunes, only via mm cloud...help

Hi Donna and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Launch iTunes and select your iPhone under Devices on the left side of the window.
Then click the Info tab at the top.
Where you see Calendars: Select Sync iCal calendars All calendars or Selecte whichever applies. Then click: Apply
Also, sometimes just restarting an iPhone can fix bugs.
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments. Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If necessary, you can back up and restore your iPhone.

ICal calendar data disappeared taking with it Entourage calendar and Mobile

I installed Snow Leopard on Friday on two Macs which are both registered on Mobile Me. My iPhone is also synched via Mobile Me. Just looking at my calendar in Entourage today(Monday) the events started disappearing. I opened iCal and the calendars were blank. I then went to Mobile Me and the calendar was there for about thirty seconds before it disappeared. Lastly, I booted my MacBook and the iCal calendars were empty as well as my iPhone. I tried to drag Calendar cache to the desktop and restarted iCal, but still empty. I have no archive calendar. The address book is fine and intact. First question - what happened? and Secondly, is there an archive available on Mobile Me that I can retrieve? Is this Snow Leopard related? I live by that calendar, so I need to get it back. Any suggestions?

Hi Darryl
I'm presuming you don't have Time Machine turned on, so you can't go back to find your previous calendar. If you don't, sadly I can't think of a way of retrieving it.
If you still have your address book my advice is to back that up straight away. (File, Export, Address Book Archive).
This is something that's happened to me before (prior to Snow Leopard). Mine began when I started getting double events in Entourage, when I decided in desperation after playing around with various options to delete the Entourage calendar in iCal, I did something to completely confuse the two systems and I could not get Entourage to re-recognise iCal. I read somewhere other threads that what I had to do was to turn off the synchronisation between Exchange and iCal for several cycles (several days) then reset it to sync again and be patient. I eventually got it back but remain paranoid and regularly take a back up of iCal (File, Export, iCal Archive). I haven't found a way to completely avoid the synching problems that happen from time to time like double events and not always synching. So I just back up regularly, take screenshots of calendars as well, and regularly check, turn synchronisation on and off while making decisions to override either Entourage or iCal when I turn it back on, and occasionally manually correct info. For me the problem is definitely tied up with the link to Entourage - if I turn of that synchronisation with iCal, then MobileMe works flawlessly. But i need the Entourage exchange calendar to be synchronised for work, so have to live with the flaws.

Iphone and Ical on mac do not sync anymore. All my events are in the iphone calendar! How do I backup iphone calendar, and how do I fix the syncronizing problem?

After getting iCloud the iCal on my mac does not sync with my iPhone calendar. All of my calendar notes are in my iPhone (while the mac's Ical remains empty) so I need to backup the iphone version. How?
Itunes says that "your calendars are being syncronized with iphone using icloud" - but the mac's ical does not show any of the new events I have added on my iphone.
I would like to install the new update on my iphone, but I am afraid to do it without knowing that I will be able to restore my iphone calendar. I have made calendar events for many years to come, I and will not risk losing them!
I have been looking for tips online, but the solutions usually suggest that I backup the ical on the mac and start fresh using this version. In other words overwrite iphone calendar with the ical from the mac. Which is not an option. What can I do?

Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

Entourage/iCal/iPhone calendar sync

Just bought an iPhone but can only seem to get some of my calendar data to sync to it.
I've been using a Palm Tungsten syncing wtih Entourage (Office 2004) through the Palm/Entourage conduit.
Now I've changed all my sync settings so that Entourage goes through sync services, and .mac syncs the address book, calendar and notes, and set my .mac to sync these as well...but only the events actually created in Entourage's calendar get copied, none of the events created in the handheld (though they all exist in Entourage) are syncing. In Entourage these events look no different from the other events, can't sort this one out.
So I googled around and found a script: "Sync Entourage - iCal 2" which fixed absolutely nothing...
Since 99% of my calendar events are created in my handheld, this is a major issue. Anyone seen this before? Anyone solved this before?

It sounds like the entrouage calendar in ical has become corrupted.
First, have you turn on syncing with ical in the entrouage preferences.
If so, turn off the preference to sync with ical.
open isync in your applications folder.
reset sync history from the isync preferences.
delete the entrouage calendar in ical.
then turn on syncing entrouage with ical from the entrouage preferences.
then wait and let entrouage sync with ical and it should recreate the entrouage calendar in ical.
make sure there is an event in entrouage that it can move to ical.
Now try syncing the iphone with ical.
Hope this helps.

Can I synch my Outlook for Mac 2011 calendars and contacts with my iPhone calendars and contacts?

I have Outlook for Mac 2011 and also use OSx Mountain Lion on my iMac. I want to synch my Calendar and Contacts from Outlook with my iOS devices (iPhone 5 and iPad). How can I do this so I don't have two calendars and two contacts that don't sync with each other?

if you don't have a online account that outlook is syncing the calendar with you can't sync it with anything else.
Just because you enter a appointment, or something, in the outlook calendar that does not auto sync it with other devices unless you have it setup to sync the local, on computer, calendar with a online account of some type. That could be outlook.com or office365 or google or even apple icloud. Once you setup a online account of some type to sync the local calendar with then you can sync that account calendar with orher devices.
This is what the other poster was trying to say but did not fully explain with the mention of icloud.

I have Mountain Lion (10x) not Lion. When I go to Sync Services in the Outlook preferences - there is no Calender there to link to. Is this because MS no longer supports Mountain Lion? Is there any other way to sync to iCal?

My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

Entourage (Exchange) to iCal iPhone calendar time shift making my head hurt

I use Entourage on an Exchange server for my calendar. I create all events there, not on the iPhone.
Yesterday I noticed I received an invitation to a meeting that started at 8 a.m. in Entourage. The pop-up blue push notification on my iPhone said it started at 3 p.m.
In Mail, Contacts, Calendars my husband found the Time Zone Support and turned it off, which seemed to fix it.
Today I was looking for an event on Dec. 31 on my iPhone, and it was not there. I looked in Entourage and it was where expected. I deleted it in Entourage and re-added, it still did not show up on the iPhone.
I turned off calendars and deleted them on the iPhone, then re-enabled and the event was still not there.
I also noticed that an event on Dec. 25 from 3 p.m.-5:30 p.m. incorrectly shows as ending a day later at 5:30 p.m. on the iPhone.
I turned Time Zone Support back on and set it to my time zone, and found my Dec. 31 event on Jan. 1 on the iPhone. In the Month view it shows as starting at 7 p.m., which is correct. If I click the event to view details, it says Jan. 1 from 2:30 a.m.
I created a test event in Entourage Dec. 28 at 3 p.m. On the iPhone in month view it shows up Dec. 28 at 3 p.m., but if I click the event to view details it says the event starts at 10 p.m. Dec. 28.
Does anyone know how I can fix this time warp??

With Time Zone Support off on the iPhone, new events I add via Entourage are showing up one day late in the month view on the iPhone.

ICal missing calendars and crashes?

hi all,
just upgraded to SL. i backed everything up except my iCal data, and now that's the only thing that's giving me problems.
when i launch iCal all i get is empty calendars, and my years of dates and appointments are now missing. i tried deleting the "Calendar Cache" file, but when i relaunch. it says it's "Upgrading iCal calendars" then crashes out. not cool. any ideas?
here's some of the crash report, if that helps...

I am afraid that .... But, anyway, try searching for iCal. I have seen one case where two of the same apps has been present after SL. You also could look manually in both "Applications" and "Utilities."
