ICal sycing calendar dates to iPhone

Hi,
When I plug the iPhone into the mac via USB and open iTunes, the calendar dates in iCal do not get synced across. I have gone into iCal and looked for a way to send dates to the phone, but without success. Can anoyone help, please? iTunes does send contacts - just not iCal dates.
Thanks!

I finally got it fixed with a little help from some related posts online.
- Delete any files with 'cache' in the name that are in ~/Library/Calendars
- Launch iSync, go to Preferences, and do Reset Sync History
- Log out and log back in
I don't know if it's one or both of the first two items, but it did the trick.

Calendar data from iPhone 3 didn't transfer to 4s

Hi there,
I use a purchased calendar app. When I got my new 4s last weekend, I first synced my old phone and then my new phone. The app transfered, but none of the calendar data in it. I contacted the app help, but they said to contact apple because it's a sync problem. Apple support hasn't been to helpful for me in the past, so I thought I'd try here. I'm afraid of losing all of the data in my old phone while trying to get this worked out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Read this post: "How do you transfer APP prefs/data from old iPhone to iPhone 4S?" and that seemed to solve my problem. It's scary erasing your phone, but it worked and everything came back. Thanks!

How transfer calendar data from iPhone to imac?

I lost all the data in my iMac calendar. The data exists in my iPhone. Is there a way to transfer the iPhone data to the iMac. I normally sync my iPhone to my iMac, but I'm not sure how to reverse the process.

Transfer an In-App Purchase
You can't sync or transfer non-renewing subscriptions and consumable In-App Purchase to another iOS device or Mac. You can transfer non-consumable In-App Purchases and auto-renewable subscriptions to another iOS device or Mac authorized with your iTunes Store account. For example, if you transfer a game from an iPhone to an iPod touch, only the game levels will sync, and the extra ammo and experience points won't transfer.

Displaying iCal Birthday Calendar instead of iPhone's

OK, so iOS4 has got a new built-in birthday calendar which pulls the birthday details from my Contacts and displays them in the Calendar view. And I found out I can turn it off in Settings. So far so good. But now it seems I can no longer view my iCal calendar (or subscription as it is called) for 'Birthdays' like I used to be able to do?
Why would I want to do this? I have a large database of contacts in Address Book on my Mac, many of whom I don't ever phone and thus don't include on the Group that I sync with my iPhone, so I have an uncluttered contact list. But I do want the birthdays for my iCal people to appear on my iPhone's Calendar.
Any suggestions please?

Dave, thanks for the suggestion. I was able to do a search as you suggested, highlight all the results, but when I tried to drag them... alas they won't drag.
Then I did another search in the Help topics of iCal to find how to do this. Lo and behold I found the topic "Moving all events and to-do items from one calendar to another"! Perfect. Followed those instructions, got all my birthdays imported into my newly created calendar, which I will now sync with my iPhone, and disable the iPhone's version. Hooray!

ICal subscribed calendars sync to iPhone ?

I have several calendars that are syncing well to iPhone from Leopard, but none of the subscribed calendars (holidays, sports team schedules, etc.) are syncing.
Is there some trick to get this to work?
Thank you for your help.

There are two answers to this subscribed calendars (holidays, sports team schedules, etc.) question.
1) When you sync the iPhone via your iTunes then the subscribed cals will sync. Be sure to check the correct boxes under iTunes. A visit to a genius bar may be needed.
2) If you sync your iPhone with MobileMe then you are out of luck.
The MobileMe issue:
This has been a thorn in everyones you know what for about one year. The answer to your question is..
You can't.
Apple does not support the idea of people actually getting all their info sync'd from MobileMe. If you have purchased a MobileMe Family Pack then the idea of sharing your info within a family is an oxymoron.
Just got back from MacWorld '09 and the utter disappointment in Apple not supplying an update to the iPhone in the Schiller keynote is overwhelming. No matter what the media is saying about MacWorld. The fact is, the two main issues at hand that people wanted to see for the iPhone was Copy/Paste and Shared iCals on their iPhones. It was not the stupid rumor of a iPhone nano. People really want functions fixed before new hardware.
No matter what Apple execs state about 'no one seems to care about these issues' is a lack of understanding about being mobile and productive. Apple created a great phone without allowing people to be to mobile.
So, until Apple finds the need to help its customer base with features they need or want (other then games and ifart programs from iTunes).. Well you are out of luck.
Sad to state, but true.

TS3999 No icloud calendar data to iphone

Ical events are visible on my mac, visible on my www.icloud site, but will NOT synch to my iphone!! Default calendar on phone is correct, etc.

I have the same problem. One-time events are showing up everywhere, but repeating events (the majority of my schedule!) are not showing up on icloud (they do show up on my computer at home and on my iphone...)

Sync of iCal to Calendar in iPhone off by 1 hour

This problem has just come up in a 2 week old iPhone 3GS. When I enter new events in iCal and sync with iPhone, the times are one hour later in Calendar. Appears to match the advance in 1 hour of Daylight Savings Time from Nov. - March. So, entering event on Dec. 1 at 8 AM in iCal yields 9 AM event in Calendar. Help!

I had the same problem of a 1 hour offset between events on iCal/MobileMe calendars and the iPhone Cal. iCal and MobileMe calendars were right with respect to each other but the iPhone would show that event as an hour later.
I seem to have solved this issue by the following:
Go to iPhone Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Time Zone Support
Change Time Zone Support selector to "OFF" then back to "ON".
Exit Settings
NB: NOT Settings>General>Date & Time
My Time Zone Support selector was "on", however Time Zone showed Etc/GMT -4
When I selected Time Zone Support to "off" and then back to "on", Time Zone changed to show "New York" (my local area). Calendar events then displayed the same times as iCal/MobileMe.

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted but OK on iPhone. If I sync will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please?

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted (ie have red exclamation mark by them) but are still OK on iPhone. If I sync, will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal or will I lose that as well? Or could I back up the calendars on my iPhone somewhere and then import them into iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please? it's driving me mad. thanks.

I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

Need to have the calendars on my iPhone to show up in iCal on my Mac.

Today I was at the area Apple store working with a Genius. I had two Apple IDs, one I had used for some time and a second created when I set up a Mobile Me account a couple of years ago. Because I had two IDs, syncing was all messed up. The genius led me through the process of essentially making one ID incactive (the Mobile Me ID) and having the other one be the primary one.
What we essentially did was to delete the old iCloud account associated with the Mobile Me ID and set up a new one. When the box showed up that said essentially, "If you move this Mobile Me account to iCloud, you will lose the calendar data on your Mac," he told me just to click it and proceed.
Everything with the syncing worked as it should. However, when I got back to the office, I found out that all my calendars on my Mac are now gone. I did some online searching on the Apple site and, duh, I realize what the box said, and that I should have backed up the calendars. But I was trusting the Genius, he had me clicking boxes in rapid fashion, and I just followed his advice. I assumed, He did NOT ask if I needed the data on those calendars and did I want to back up.
Because the calendars were associated with my old ID, the one that is now disabled, they are not active on either my Mac or the iCloud website. However, when I look on my iPhone, the old calendars associated with my old ID are still showing up. VERY GOOD. Now I just need to know how to get those calendars into iCal on iCloud and thus back on my computer.
When I touch the "Calendars" button at the top left of my monthly view screen on my iPhone and then can see the calendars that were associated with the old ID, the question I have is why they're even showing up on my iPhone at all, as it is also associated with the current ID and iCloud. But that is another issue. I just want to get them back onto my Mac. These are my major work/life calendars, and I don't need them to disappear. HELP!

If the old account was or had been upgraded to an iCloud account as you seem to be implying, you should be able to add it back to your mac as a secondary account (system preferences > mail, calendars & contacts. This should cause both accounts calendars to show up in iCal (click the calendar button -top left corner- to confirm this. Then you should be able to copy the calendars across to your new account by following the instructions below.
Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.
I'm guessing the reason your calendars show on your phone is because that account is enabled as a secondary account there.

How can I restore iCal using the calendars on my iPhone

I recently purchased a new iPhone and decided that this was maybe the time I should sign up for iCloud. What resulted was nothing short of havoc. Duplicate calendars, contacts, reminders, you name it, a giant mess. In the process of getting this all cleaned up I have accidentally erased some of the many duplicates flying back and forth with my original data on it. I am now left with an iPhone that still has all my calendars, dates and reminders, but my iPad and, more importantly, my desk computer are left without anything at all.
I tried to synch with iTunes, but that didn't help. The only way I can get an event back on to my desk computer is if I edit on my iPhone and then it is obviously pushed back to the computer. I tried restoring the Library/Calendars file with Time Machine just to get back to 6 hours ago. Nothing doing. iCal remains as empty as it was before. But it now has three Calendars files all with different time stamps.
Is there a way that I can push all iCal data back to my desk computer via iCloud?
I am doubly frustrated with this as I rely on my calendar to bill my customers the hours I write into the calendar after I've been with them, plus I seem to have exchanged the safe, if a bit cumbersome, synching via iTunes with something that is not up to par.
Can anybody help me out of my predicament? I am terribly grateful for any suggestions
Tom

Hi, On both of your devices, go onto Settings>iCloud> Calanders [On]
You need to make sure your signed into the same iCloud account though!

Can I sync an Outlook calendar on my iPhone to iCal

Hello,
My work uses Outlook for our email and calendar. That syncs with my iPhone in real time very well; my workplace uses MobileIron. I would like to take the Outlook based work calendar in my iPhone and sync it with iCal at home. I tried it analog (docking the iPhone and sync'ing with iCal using iTunes). The personal iPhone calendar came over to iCal, but not the work Outlook calendar. Is there any way to get the Outlook based calendar from my iPhone to iCal? Mobile Me? Another 3rd party app?
Thanks for your thoughts.

I was able to sync Outlook to Itunes and it worked fine under version 4.2. When I upgraded to 4.3, I can no longer sync. Apple is working on it. What is interesting is my 2 phones will sync with each other thru Itunes and change the Outlook file, but they don't show up in the Outlook calendar, the upgrade setup a hidden calendar in Outlook. They way I know this is the save date for Outlook change after a phone sync, and the only thing I am syncing is the calendar.
I know this wasn't what you asked, but can you tell me what version of Iphone do you use. Especially if it is 4.3, I would like to discuss further.
[email protected] if you can help, I am getting despirate. I can't find a way to go back to 4.2. I have an open case with Apple.

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

ICal on MacBook Pro will not receive dates from iPhone, but iPhone will receive dates from iCal on MacBook

I recently got a MacBook Pro after having an iPhone and iPad since last year. I have iCloud set up on all devices to share calendar dates. However, when I input an event on iCal on the MacBook everything is fine and the event shows up on my iPhone and iPad calendars, but when I input an appointment on my iPhone, it will not update to the iCal on MacBook.
Help please?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Calendar events on iPhone not syncing to ical or Mobile Me -- Tiger OS

I had to replace my iPhone 3G with another iPhone 3G due to phone problems. Now, events that I had once put in to iCal are still showing up on my iPhone but are not on my iCal or Mobile Me calendar. As per advice on other threads, I did a complete reset through Sync. Now, I have duplicate calendars (different color coding) but still no events. Can someone please help? I'm not using Outlook, I'm using the Tiger OS.

Thanks for reply.
In Settings>iCloud, my account is set up and appears under heading "iCloud."
In Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars, same account listed under heading "iCloud."
In Calendar list in iPhone Calendar app, new calendar is listing along with all others that are part of iCloud account.
All other calendars in that account sync, just not this new one with ics data imported to iPhone.
