ICal posts from iPhone 4s will not sync onto Macbook Pro iCal

I have a MacBook Pro version 10.6.8 and an iPhone 4s iOS 6.1.3
I cannot seem to transfer the events that I add to my iPhone's iCal to my MacBook's iCal.
I have all the calendars synched to my iPhone, but can't figure out to get the stuff from my iPhone to MacBook Pro.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

When you say "I have all the calendars synched to my iPhone," what is on the other end of that synch? iCloud? Google? Something else?
If it's iCloud, you have a problem. 10.6.8 doesn't really play well with iCloud, which did not exist when 10.6.8 was created. (10.6 was built to use MobileMe, which was replaced by iCloud.) iCloud was one of the new features announced with 10.7, and it didn't really come into its own until 10.8.
At one time, I would have recommended that you purchase BusyCal 1.6, which could run on 10.6.8 and could synch with iCloud. Unfortunately, BusyMac no longer sells BusyCal 1.6 or any other version that runs on 10.6.8.
There may be other products with similar capabilities, but I never tried them, so I cannot recommend one. Maybe somebody else will come along with a recommendation.

Iphone 4s will not sync with macbook

ical will not sync and add any new events to my macbook. If I enter the events on the macbook it works fine and send the info to the iphone but if I enter the info on the ipnone the macbook will never add the info. This just started and was working fine. I haven't changed anything. Any ideas?
Thanks

randers4: helpful if I want to set up iCloud - but I don't. This is NOT the issue. The Address Book is not syncing properly with my USB cabled iPhone 4s, even if I select that I want the desktop to override my iPhone. I must keep my desktop calendar synchronized with all my staff in my office and we are not on Lion (yet) for concerns about capatability with other essential software (CAD and Adobe products). We're all currently on 10.6.8. So. thanks for the suggestion but it's of absolutely no help with our real world issue.
I originally synced with iCloud and then could no longer sync with our desktop iCal and the associated calendars on our network. After turning off iCloud, Wi-Fi syncing, wiping the iPhone back to original settings, and ONLY plugging in to Sync with iTunes - it put back the incorrect Address Book and did NOT sync with the Address Book on my desktop. No changes to my Address Book on my desktop are being picked up on the 4s. Sadly after 27 + years of working with Apple products, I'm reconsidering the choice of the iPhone. I had an Android, that not only synced better than this, I got help from those parties offering sync software. Apple seems to be largely ignoring this issue as a quick tour around the web will illustrate. As a business person, my contacts and calendar are WAY more important than whether I can ask SIRI a question. Calendar is working fine, but my contacts are now actually corrupted with duplicates and incorrect files.

IOS 6.1 will not sync with macbook pro ical

I can not get iCal from my macbook pro 10.7.5 to sync with ical on my ipad 6.1. any suggestions?

Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files. I"ll see if that works. ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

Wife's new iPhone 5 will not sync with MacBook air.

My new iPhone 5 syncs perfectly well via my iTunes account with my MacBook Air. Over time I think my wiofe and I may have shared access to my iTunes account but she definitely has her own as well and there are times I have needed to enter her password when purchasing something and vice versa.
So I tried to back up her old iphone to our (new) MacBook Air. It wouldn't. It seems to want to back up to our old PC. I wanted to set her iPhone 5 up from an IiTunes backup but can't.
What should I do? Set her phone up from new?
Help!

The MacBook has my iTunes account and plenty of music, photos, apps etc on it. I tried logging out of my itunes account and into hers but her phone would still not sync with the macbook. How can I get her phone to recognise the macbook and vice versa?

Iphone 4s will not mount on MacBook Pro (Via USB)

My iphone (6.1.3) won't connect to computer (Macbook pro (10.7.5). I rarely do this, so perhaps have inadvertantly turned off an important setting? But typically iphone is accessible from desktop, itunes and iphoto. Not visible anywhere currently. I performed a restart on iphone (apple logo visible) but still won't mount. I am using an Apple USB cable as always, and have also tried the backup cable -both of which will charge the phone pefectly. I did hear the connection sound when cable was attached.
I have wifi & phone works perfectly on that, but I typically use cable connection for computer access.
I have not "upgraded" to ios 7 as I'm not to fond of its current UI. But perhaps this is the problem? Until now this phone was fully compatible w the laptop & 10.7.5 OS.
Suggestions? Thanks

Hello JazzJunkie,
I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I recommend continuing with these steps:
Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Install software updates on your Mac.
Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download
Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Restart your Mac.
Additional Information
In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes, but after you restart your Mac, the device may not be recognized again. If this happens and you're using Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, please follow these steps.

Re-Install of 10.4.6 from original DVD will not complete on MacBook Pro

I purchased a new MacBook Pro 15" laptop around Oct 1, 2006 and I am now unable to use it.
It came with 10.4.6 installed. I updated the system to 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 using update packages directly from the Apple site. Then I ran a Security Update to 10.4.8 and nothing has worked right since.
I tried using Disk Utility in every way and was always able to repair with no errors found. I tried to troubleshoot various applications to see if they were the issue with no improvement. The ultimate problem was the entire system would freeze and would have to be rebooted. Sometimes the system would boot up, sometimes the apple and gear would run and then a circle with a line through it would replace the apple symbol. Sometimes I would get the dreaded blinking folder with question mark. Most of the time rebooting could eventually get you to the desktop, but the system never worked for longer than 15 to 30 minutes.
So, I decided to reinstall 10.4.6 from the install DVD that came with my computer. I cannot get 10.4.6 re-installed. I have used disk utility to erase, repair, partition and so on and after a few tries it repairs succesfully.
I ran the Hardware test and it says no trouble found.
The install log ends with the following three errors:
1. unable to copy package source file OSInstall.dist to destination reciept ...
2. unable to copy package source file archive.bom to destination reciept
3. Install failed: Some Files for Base System may not have been written correctly.
I am at the end of my rope. Please help. Thanks!

I agree...bad drive or bad controller or even a bad connection. Hardware issues on computers still under warranty should be dealt with by Apple. Even though you have already run the hardware test, there could still be a hardware problem. You could try booting from a disk repair utility like Disk Warrior but that means you would have to buy the utility and that's money you should not have to spend on a machine that is still covered by warranty.
There is one other thing you could try and that would to try and boot the computer into "safe mode" and try everything discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Also, if you have access to another Mac, you could try booting your computer into target disk mode and then run disk repair from the other computer. Also, if you computer boots into target disk mode, you can copy any vital data and files before you hand it over to Apple for repair.

Iphone 3GS will not sync with Macbook

After having a new hard drive installed in my Macbook....I can't sync itunes, calendar, or address book with my iphone 3gs.....I keep getting an error saying, "cannot connect to sync server".....It worked perfect with the old hard drive....it is driving me nuts :-) Any help is much appreciated!!!

New songs off of Iphone 5 will not sync onto itunes.

Usually, when I buy new music off my phone and then sync it to my itunes, the songs download onto itunes. But lately it has been coming up with a message saying, "This computer is already associated with and Apple ID." I do share this itunes with my whole family, but this has never happened before. I have been trying to find a way for weeks.

When you follow those instructions, when you click transfer purchases- does it tell you that computer in not autorized yet?

Iphone will not sync with macbook pro

My mac has just updated to the latest version of I-Tunes but is saying that my I-phone (3GS) needs to update to version 10.6.3. I have recently updated itunes on my iphone but don't know how to go about getting this latest version or syncing them again. Can you help?

You can download iTunes 10.6.3 here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes.

HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

My iPhone 4 will not sync my new voice memos from the "Voice Memos" app to my computer. This is frustrating, should not be so hard, can someone please help. I use PC with windows 7 with iPhone version 6.1.3 and iTunes most recent. Thanks.

In the Music tab of iTunes, do you have 'Include Voice Memos' checked?

My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone. However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized. How do I fix this?

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79

I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
• Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
• iTunes 10
• iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
Step 1: Go to Control Panel
1. Open Control Panel
2. Click Hardware & Sound
3. Click Power Options
4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
5. Click Change advanced power settings
6. Expand USB Settings
7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
10. Click OK
Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
3. Click Properties
4. Click Device Manager
5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
7. Click Properties
8. Click Power Management
9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
10. Click OK
11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
12. Click Properties
13. Click Power Management
14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
15. Click OK
16. Restart your computer
After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
Good luck.

If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access
