ICal - iPhone syncing with 2.1 - The BIG update is not BIG enough!

iCal color sync bug still in 2.1 - How disappointing.
I thought this bug was previously acknowledged here by apple, and had been around in 2.0.x firmwares too. I hear that the MobileMe service fixes this issue, however this is not an option for some users such as myself that find the MobileMe service useless for their needs.
I find it very disappointing how what seems to be a very small issue still hasn't been fixed yet - while most people say "Oh yeah, pay $99/year and sync with mobile me."
This BIG update isn't as BIG as it should be with this bug still present.
Still had to use the workaround by syncing one calendar at time assigning colors in the current order: red, orange, blue, green, purple.

I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

Will iphone sync with stickies on mac

Will the iPhone sync with stickies on the mac? If not, is there an app that has a comprable mac app where this can be done. I have been using a blackberry for some time now and use the Notes feature of MS Outlook. I am switching to an iPhone soon and want to retain this or a comprable capability.
Thanks. Brad.

Stickies cannot be synced with an iPhone.
On a Mac, the Mail application has a notes feature. These notes can be synced with an iPhone - using iTunes.
Mobile Me users can sync via the *cloud*.
The Mac version of Outlook has a more involved setup - which sometimes causes problems. Notes must first be synced to Mail and then to the iPhone.
The Windows version of Outlook might allow for the syncing of notes. I can't say for sure.

Having trouble getting your iphone sync with itunes? Click here.

I, myself, has been one of the many people facing issues with their iphone (5S) being recognized or syncing with itunes after the new update, however, after calling an apple specialist, she taught me how to fix the problem.
You have to completely uninstall itunes and all of it's components (Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support). Simply uninstalling itunes won't do the trick. You have to manually uninstall all of the listed program in your computer's uninstall programs page.
Please uninstall it in this specific order
- itunes
- Apple Software Update
- Apple Mobile Device Support
- Bonjour
- Apple Application Support
And then reinstall the latest itunes at :

Connect your iphone and it should be good to go! It definitely worked for me! Hope this helps you! Cheers!

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

Cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works. Is anyone else having problems like this? All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

I have the iphone 4 and PC with Windows Vista Basic. When I bought my iPhone syncs with iTunes on my computer, but now when I try to sync it tells me that Mobile Device Service was closed and I can not synchronize the phone. Try restarting Mobile Device Service and uninstall and reinstall Itunes but still giving me the same error.

Recent software upgrade has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook, and diary items no longer upload from my iPhone. I've tried a to fix it and seem to have made things worse. What is the best way to get the two devices in sync ?

Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.

You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check  > System Preferences > iCloud.
If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected.

What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.

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

thank you in advance.

Your suggestion worked perfectly. I can't believe there is nothing in any of the instructions I have seen online at the Yahoo and Apple help sites about the making sure the right default account is checked. I don't think I was even aware there was a "default account" setting. Thank you so much.

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.
