ICal on iPhone not syncing with Mac.

Does anyone know how I can get iCal on my iPhone 4s to sync with my computer? All my contacts and emails (thru yahoo) sync up just fine, but I can't get the calendars to sync. I do not have MobileMe or iCloud, but do I have to have them to do this? I wanted to use Apple's iCal, but maybe I should just use Yahoo's calendar feature instead? Any advice/help in this would be greatly appreciated.

My phone is doing the same thing. When I delete events on my mac, they are still present on the iphone after a sync. I have restored my phone, both from back up, and as a new iphone. This is very frustrating.

Calendar in Iphone not syncing with Mac or Mobile Me

All of my calendar entries on my IPhone are in a calendar that shows up under Untitled Account. It wont sync with either my Mac or Mobile Me and I have tried every setting I know how. This has happened since I updated to 3.0.
Any suggestions on how to move this to one of my existing accounts that do sync?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Kevin MacAfee

Kevin,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off the Calendar, when prompted delete data, wait two minutes turn Calendar back on, and when asked merge the data. Wait patiently, and hopefully you will be able to regain sync functions. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change
AFAIK, the merge function will incorporate calendars on your iPhone and MobileMe.
If you are not confident with that answer, be sure to try MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."

Ical on iphone not syncing with either mobile me or my mac

i have an iphone 3gs and mobile me... everything is set to synching. On the phone, on the mac ... everywhere. Any ical entries entered in ical on the mac or on mobile me will synch to the iphone.
any entries made on the iphone will not synch... neither to the mac, nor to mobile me. All software is newest version.
this of course is a huge pain, since it more or less makes the cal function worthless on the iphone.
used to work perfectly on my iphone 3g

Not sure if the problem is the same one but my Iphone has stopped syncing calendars with MS outlook (PC not Mac) via the USB. Changes on either calendar (pc or phone) are not being updated to the other device. Was working fine a week ago.
Have upgraded to 4.3.1 in between - is that the problem?

Cloud not syncing with mac, iPhone or iPad

My caldendar is not syncing with my Mac, MBP, iPhone or iPad. When I go to the cloud there are a large number of appointments that do not show up. I am having to use the calendar of my Mac or MBP. If I enter appointments in the cloud dupes show up on my other calendars. This has been going on for a long time. It seems every time there is an IOS update the cloud gets out of sync with all my devices.

ICal still does not sync with exchange 2007 in Lion

Dear,
In Snow Leopard, iCal was not syncing with Exchange 2007. I read a lot of things on this and it all led to recurring events. Indeed, after deleting them, things started to work. But I cannot delete recurring events! I need them!
Seeing that there was soo much talk on this all over on apple, I assumed that Apple would fix it. Instead, all we're seeing is some enhanced UI.
Can somebody at Apple please make sure that this thing finally gets fixed? Really, how hard can it be, knowing that the hardware based i devices can sync without any trouble?
Just for extra information, so you know what direction to look for:
I have Windows SBS 2008 in Dutch language. Timezone is Brussels. Exchange 2007 and all updates.
The system is running a self signed certificate
Outlook works fine on the Mac. I don't want to use Outlook on the Mac but am forced to at the moment.
Mail/Addressbook sync fine. Only Outlook doesn't!
I did try deleting recurrent events and this worked for a day. Basically stopped working I think when I added again those recurring events.
There are some errors in the console:
21/07/11 11:42:36,563 iCal: Couldn't find an NSTimeZone to match the SerializableTimeZone
21/07/11 11:42:36,563 iCal: WARNING: Failed to find TimeZone Identifier for Windows MeetingTimeZone: (GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlijn, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Wenen

Please fix this,
Guido

Hi all,
I do have exactly the same problem.
But I am adding a new flavor, but I can not understand it.
I've setup two Exchange calender connections. Both servers are inhouse. The setup of the Exchange servers are most likely the same.
But one works and one not! How could this be explained?
I like to express my deep disappointment about iCal and partly Apple Mail. It is unbelievable for me, that years after Apple's cooperation with Microsoft there are still such problems.
I like my Macbooks and I certainly have the absolutely full bandwidth of all Apple products in my household and companies. But I think I have to go back to Microsoft and Sony Laptops in the near future.
Although this kind of bugs are small one's, but the hurt constantly. Apple - please fix that.
Here just for the interested reader is my console error message:
3/15/12 11:51:29.819 AM iCal: error = Error Domain=CalExchangeErrorDomain Code=-11 "iCal can’t refresh events in the calendar “Kalender”."

Calendar entries on iphone not syncing with outlook calendar

Items that I entered on my iphone calendar are not syncing with my outlook calendar on my office pc. Outlook entries are appearing on iphone calendar, however. Used to work, now doesn't. Recently updated iphone software. Could this be the problem?

i had same problem. everything worked fine backing up iphone to macbook pro and Ical until IOS 5 upgrade, then selective entries on Iphone wouldn't backup to Ical despite repeated attempts. I did what you did, turned off calander iCloud feature so it backs up only to MacBook and it seems to have solved problem.

Iphone not syncing with 64-bit Vista Ultimate

hello, i order a new iphone and can not sync with itunes. windows is detecting it is connected, but not with itunes. I try to see if it can connect with my laptop(windows XP Home 32-Bit) and it can, so it was not the phone that can't sync with itunes. i try everything from uninstalling to running MSCONFIG Mode and checking that apple mobile Device is working. Itunes is up to date and windows vista is as well.
Anyone else have this problem and may have a solution to it.
Computer spec
CPU: Intel Quad-Core Q6600
GPU: GeForce 8600 GTS
RAM: 4 GB of PC6800
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1 Update.

Hi,
You did not mention whether you tried creating a test admin user, that might be worth trying.
You could trying uninstalling iTunes completely and then download fresh copy and use the 'right-click' then 'run as admin' approach to installing itunes.
How to completely uninstall iTunes... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
You could try connecting the phone using forced recovery as described here... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797
You do meet the requirements...
Windows system requirements
* PC with USB 2.0 port
* Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate Edition; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
* iTunes 7.5 or later
Let me know if anything mentioned worked... Good Luck!

Gmail not syncing with .Mac

Hi,
I am having an issue with Gmail and Mail that I can't find a solution to anywhere and I am hoping that someone here can provide some insight.
I use Mail.app on a G5 and an iBook and use .Mac to keep mail, calendar and addresses in-sync b/w the two. I have 4 email accounts set up in Mail.app: DotMac, Gmail, Qwest.net and another POP account. All of them work sync fine b/w the two machines except for Gmail. I can receive Gmail on either machine without any problem. The trouble begins when I receive Gmail on one machine, sync with .Mac, and then go to the other machine and sync with .Mac there. The Gmail email that I received on the first machine and already read doesn't show up on the new machine. However, the other email addresses all do this just fine. Does it have something to do with the way Gmail's POP service works? I have Gmail set to archive emails. Does that matter?
I would greatly appreciate any help. This has been killing me!
Thnx!
Brian
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Brian.
First of all, .Mac doesn’t synchronize locally stored mail between computers. Only mail stored on the server can be synchronized, and you don’t need .Mac for that; any IMAP account would do. If you can see mail received on your POP accounts on both computers, it’s because they’re both downloading it from the server, not because of any .Mac synchronization.
Moreover, Gmail POP access doesn’t work as a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies:
1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
2. To make already downloaded Gmail messages available for POP access again, you must log into your Gmail account with a web browser and re-enable POP downloading for all your messages, which will cause everything (and I mean everything) still there to be downloaded again.
3. Any Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. The reason is that, after being downloaded, those messages are no longer available to any mail client, not even to the same client that has just downloaded them, not even for deleting them or checking whether they are still there.
4. Messages created and sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were incoming messages. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent -- as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one POP mail client, that is.
5. Messages created and sent using a POP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in 4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. They would, however, be downloaded if Gmail settings were changed as described in 2 above.
6. As a particular case of 5, messages sent to yourself will appear in your Inbox on the web, but cannot be downloaded by either the same or any other POP mail client.

Calendar on iPhone not syncing with calendar on computer or mobileme

I was just chatting with one of the mac support people and we were cut off. Lee had just made me do a manual sync of my calendar to have my computer calendar up to date (my Mobile Me calendar was the same as my computer one, so all was well there...).
How do I now get my iPhone to sync with my computer/mobile me? And vice versa?
This is very frustrating. I feel like it has to do with my iPhone upgrade, but I don't know for sure. All help is appreciated.

You need to delete the old me.com calendar account, and ensure that Calendar is switched on in the iCloud account settings on your iPhone.

Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

Hello,
I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Is there any setting that I can try?
Any procedure that I should try?
ny other suggestions?
Thanks much!
Erik

Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.

Ical not syncing with Mac.

I can't seem to get my ical to sync between my iphone and Mac. I would like to use the restore however, whilst my itunes tells me it backs up to the computer I cannot locate the information. I do not wish to use icloud

Hi Tayfit -
I searched this question and found a solution that worked for me on another forum here. I use OS 10.6.8 on an iMac with Intel Core, and an iPhone 4. I do not wish to use iCloud for syncing either. I had many duplication problems when I attempted to use iCloud, in contacts and in ical, so I deleted for days and dropped the iCloud. My iPhone does seem to sync with iCal on the iMac, but the iMac calendars didn't all sync with the iPhone. I use iTunes to sync. Here is what I did:
In the folder /users/<---YOUR USERNAME--->/Library/Calendars, I deleted "Calendar Cache" and "Calendar Sync Changes" ....
That's all I did. I had tried the terminal reset option listed in the Apple Support questions, but that was to address the screw up post iCloud use, and that didn't fix my issue.
Best of luck. I hope this helps you.

Bb calendar is not syncing with MAC, i am to the point that I am going to switch to an Iphone

When I put the software on MAC, I was asked the first time where to sync and I choose the Address book and Ical.
I originally just synced the phone book. About 2 weeks ago I attempted to sync calendars to ICAL and I was having trouble until it worked. Now I went to sync everything again and it doesn't.
I uninstalled the software and installed it and it still doesn't work. I am try to see if it works to sync to entourage but I don't know how to change the settings to sync to Entourage.
I am getting so frustrated that I am thinking about switching to an IPHONE. I have had a blackberry for 9 years, and never had a problem, until I purchased a MAC, which I love.
Can you please help me. In need to sync my blackberry to my Mac, so it can sync with my IPAD.
Thanks

right. well i had no idea that apple doesnt read its own forums. however, i stand by what i said, i belelive spreading the good word between fellow apple users is equally effective at the goal I am wishing to accomplish. im sure i look like an idiot to you, but i feel you're sadly mistaken :/

IPhone calendar items not syncing with Mac calendar

A few weeks ago I noticed that items added to my iPhone calendar stopped syncing with my Mac calendar. Items added or deleted from my Mac calendar, however, do sync properly to my iPhone.
iPhone 4S iOS 7.0.6. Mac OS 10.8.5 (whatever beast that is). I sync via iTunes and USB cable. I do not use iCloud and am not interested in doing so.
I looked through other discussion threads, and they did not seem to address my problem. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

The answer given by randers4 here solved my problem (turn out I have Mountain Lion):

IPhone Mail inbox not syncing with Mac inbox

Greetings
Since upgrading my MBP recently, mail in my iPhone Mail inbox/sent items has not been syncing fully with my Mac Mail inbox/sent items.
Messages which are moved to folders stored On My Mac remain in my iPhone inbox.
Messages which are moved to folders stored in iCloud are removed from my iPhone in inbox and are visible as they should be in the iCloud folders on my iPhone.
I use both an iCloud email account as well as an account through my domain host. I do not use Gmail or an Exchange account, and tis problem dud not occur with my old MBP.
Any advice most gratefully received.
Sashina.

Hi KiltedTIm
Hmmm. I've changed my Mac, iPhone and iPad all from POP to IMAP. On my Mac there are only two items in the inbox in question, but on both mobile devices are every bit of mail from that account (not in filed iCloud folders) going back to 17 April. I've restarted both devices but everything is still in the inbox.
Any further ideas?
Thanks!
