ICal sync from iPhone 3G no longer works with both MacBooks?

Hi Group:
I've got an iPhone 3G, a previous gen MBP and a white MB, all running the latest software updates. For the past several months I have been able to enter iCal events on my MBP, sync to the iPhone using iTunes, and then sync the iPhone to the MB. For some reason I can't guess, that no longer works, and iCal events are not being transferred from the iPhone to my MB iCal app. Did this happen with the iPhone 3.0 software update (the timing seems about right)? I called Apple Care last night and they said only a .Me account would return that functionality, but denied this had anything to do with the iPhone 3.0 update. In fact, the rep said it never should have worked in the first place.
FWIW, here's the error messasge iTunes generates:
"iTunes could not sync calendar events to the iPhone because an error occurred while sending data from the iPhone."
That's the exact wording, and it doesn't really make perfect sense, either. So, is there a workaround for this, or a third-party app, perhaps? Did Apple make this change just to sell more .Me accounts? Finally, is there maybe an automated way to sync the iCal events between the MBP and MB across my Time Capsule network? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

****, that was a brilliant solution. To be clear, what was happening is that I could no longer sync calendars from the iPhone to the MB, but never lost that ability on the MBP. I would not have guessed your solution, as I've never even opened the iSync app, and had no idea it was in any way involved. Thanks, and I wonder if there's some way Apple could add this solution to their database for the Apple Care reps?

  • IPhone 3GS no longer works with bluetooth since ios 4.3.2 update

    Hi all. Since the ios 4.3.2 update my iPhone 3GS no longer works correctly with the bluetooth in my car (2006 Acura TL).  I know it's not an issue with the car and the only thing that has changed is the update with the phone.  Anybody else having this issue?  I have unpaired, tried to re-pair, reset the network settings, reset all of the settings, and did a restore.  I'm at a loss with what to do next.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Its becoming a problem of epic proportions...so many people are having the exact same problem...I have a Feb 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Series 200 and since upgrading to OS 4 my USB function no longer works like it did before the upgrade.

    Would be nice to hear that Apple recognises there is a problem...buut maybe they are too busy counting all their money to care!!

  • Can pictures be recovered from iPhone that no longer works?

    My iPhone is no longer in working condition due to the fact that the ocean waves took the life of my phone. I had alot of pictures and videos on there that were precious to me. Can those pictures and videos be rovered?

    Plug the device into your computer, preferably a PC. Go to your start menu > my computer ( or Computer for windows 7 / Vista) Look for removable device or iPhone. Double click the iPhone and open the two or three folders and there are your photos. Simply drag them to your desktop or wherever.

  • Triangulating iCal sync from iPhone to OS 10.6.8 MacBook (no iCloud)

    If I sync my iPhone calendar to iCloud, then connect my iPhone to Macbook (OS 10.6.8) via USB, why don't the calendars sync?  That is, why wouldn't the calendar data on my iPhone "upload" to my MacBook via USB?

  • Iphone wifi no longer works with one type of router...

    Hello all,
    I have been looking at other posts but have not found any resolution. My iphone 3g has always worked on my home wifi but stopped two weeks ago or so. It works fine on other peoples routers and my imac and powerbook pick up the wifi fine.
    I found that other people using the wcg200 gateway modem/router with comcast are all of the sudden having the same issue.
    Does anyone know of a fix? I hate to think we all have to go out and purchase a new piece of equipment when it was working fine for so long. Any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the tips! I tried it all but none of it worked.
    It seems to be everyone with a wcg200 can't get wifi to work. I have had the phone
    for 6 months now and it worked great till about 2 weeks ago or so. Nothing seems to work. Again,
    it works fine with other peoples wifi and my other computers work fine with it.
    Maybe someone can make this a pet project. I read that comcast updated the ROM on this model without telling us. If that caused it, can anyone think of how to make it work again? I am lost and I hate to have to buy a new modem/router if there is a way to fix this issue.
    Thanks again

  • IPhone 3GS no longer works with Toyota Prius

    I have an iPhone 3GS and a 2010 Toyota Prius (model V) that worked fine together until I upgraded to iOS 4. Now it will play music for about 15 seconds and then cut out... with an error message on the Prius dash that it cannot read the USB device.
    Anyone encountered this or know any workarounds?
    Thanks.

  • "Import GPS from iPhone photos" does not work with iPhone 4

    I have not been able to get A3's "Import GPS from iPhone photos" to work with my iPhone 4, I get an empty list of photos. A3 is able to import photos from iPhoto 4 without any problems but I'm not able to get the GPS data.
    I'm not sure if it is an iPhone 4 or iOS4 issue, I tried my old iPhone 2G and "Import GPS from iPhone photos" is working fine.

    Where are you seeing this "Import GPS from iPhone" option?? I just tried importing a picture directly from my iPhone ,and it correctly had its place marked on the Places map. Am I misunderstanding what you all are trying to do??

  • Airport no longer works with my MacBooks. Help an old lady get wireless again!

    First, I have to tell you that I'm as dense as granite when it comes to technology, so please talk to me in the simple terms you'd use with a dazed higher primate. Assume that I know nothing.
    My story: I have the world's oldest MacBook Pro and am also using a new MacBook Air. I had a new Airport base station that was working fine with the MacBook Pro until I moved two years ago. I know nothing was dropped or mishandled, because I moved the electronics myself. But when I set up stuff in the new house, with Airport in a spare room and using the laptop in my bedroom where I have little room for anything but me, the MacBook would no longer recogize the Airport.
    I tried moving Airport into the same room, thinking there might be something wierd with the walls of the house, but still no dice.
    So I've been wired to the Comcast modem ever since. I trip over cables so often, I can do it in the dark.
    Things are getting complicated now, because I've added a printer/scanner. Since I can't use it wirelessly and don't wish to trip over the cable every time I stand up, I hardly ever use the thing. Also, I'm shopping for a new TV and have dreams of being able to connect it with the Mac for watching movies, etc. The thought of using more cables makes me sad.
    BTW, I'm currently using a borrowed MacBook Air, circa 6 months ago. It doesn't recognize Airport either. Airport is currently sitting in its box, bored and depressed.
    Since nothing I own is under warranty any longer, I'm looking for free advice here instead of paying Apple by the hour.
    Two questions:
    (1) the ****? How do I get wireless again?
    (2) Is Airport interchangeable with other wireless modems, like the one Comcast offers me?

    When you connect your MacBook Pro to the Comcast modem using its Ethernet cable, you are establishing the same sort of connection with it that would be used by your AirPort sitting in the box. The modem does not care what is connected to it, but it can connect to only one device at a time. Most of them "remember" that device as long as it is powered up, and will refuse to communicate with anything else.
    So the first thing to do is power down the modem. Unplug it. Then, connect your AirPort's WAN port to it (Extreme or Express, whichever one you have) and then power them both up. With any luck your MacBook Pro might just connect wirelessly like it used to in your last home.
    If it does not, you probably need to reconfigure the AirPort Base Station again as if it were new. To do that, "hard reset" the AirPort Base Station by pressing its tiny reset button and holding it depressed long enough for its LED to flash rapidly. Then, the LED will glow solid amber for a moment or two, then it will begin to flash slowly. When that occurs select its network in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu. Its name will be "Apple Network nnnnnn" where nnnnnn = a code unique to your base station. Select it.
    Then, launch AirPort Utility - it is in your Utilities folder - and it will detect that your AirPort base station has been reset. Click the Continue button, answer the questions, and it will reconfigure the AirPort to those settings. The questions should be self-explanatory. When you are finished you will be prompted to restart the AirPort.
    The next step confuses people, because after restarting the AirPort Base Station the network name that you had been using to configure it immediately ceases to exist. AirPort Utility may as well just sit there forever so just quit AirPort Utility. You have to manually select the network you just created by selecting it in the Wi-Fi menu again.
    If you run into problems and need more help, meaning you must communicate using the Internet again, just remember the first paragraph - power down the modem whenever you change what is connected to it. Make it a habit.

  • Apple 23" HD Cinema Display no longer working with new Macbook Pro

    I bought a 23" used HD Cinema display the other day along with the ADC-DVI and DVI-Mini Display adapters. I had it hooked up and it was working perfectly for 3 days. Today my wife tried to connect her Macbook accidentally via the USB that is part of the ADC-DVI adapter which didn't work (why is that USB there anyway?). Then when she went to connect the external display back to my Macbook Pro it did not wake up after being connected. I have tried resetting the PRAM on the MBP and have disconnected and re-connected all connections but nothing will get the display working with the MBP anymore. When I connect and disconnect the mini-display plug into the MBP the MBP flashes the blue screen as it appears to be reacting, but that's it. I can't detect any display when I go into the display system preferences. Does anyone know how I can get the Apple Cinema display working again? Thanks for any help.

    Upon reflection, I think my issue is different. Probably should not have posted it here. As it turns out sometimes my display works, sometimes it does not. I think the power adapter has gone bad. A common occurrence here in Mexico where the power can fluctuate quite a bit. - Ryan
    There are couple of long threads in the display section about problems with the power supplies on the 23" HD DVI. See this one for instance: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17981683#17981683
    Mine one day just wouldn't turn on -- connected to an old G4 MDD and the Mini -- a bit of fiddling it would occasionally start up, sometimes not. Similar to what you described, the Macs would see it in System Profiler, but it just wouldn't turn on.
    Based on that thread, I figured the problem was mostly likely the power supply. A local authorized repair place didn't have a spare for me to try, but the tech sniffed it and mentioned it the burnt electronics smell. LOL, I sniffed it and sniffed the power supply for my 20" DVI Cinema display -- indeed a weird smell.
    Based on that thread, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a beefier 150" power supply for the 30" Cinema display, which Apple says in compatible with the 23". See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2803
    I hooked it up, crossed my fingers, and it fired up right away. It's been working fine for about 3 months now. Cheaper than buying a new monitor.

  • Ical sync from iPhone to Macbook Pro

    Using my MacBook Pro with Lion OS, I can create an event that shows up on my phone, but not the reverse. I can add an appointment on my iphone 4g (IOS 5), but it doesnt show up on my iCal on my computer. I have signed up for the iCloud. Does anyone know what is wrong?

  • IPhone 5s no longer works with my JVC car stereo after upgrading

    Hello!
    I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 last Wednesday (the 17th). When I drive, I synch my phone to my car stereo system (a JVC unit -- I can't recall the model number but it was installed just a year ago). After the upgrade, it worked fine. But on Sunday morning the phone experienced a hard crash and I had to reboot it by pressing the home and sleep buttons together. The phone came back without any further incident.
    When I tried to make a call later that night I found that instead of my phone being active on my phone it tried to play music instead. I couldn't figure out how to stop this, so I turned off Blue Tooth. And now, when I try using the phone the Blue Tooth seems to synch up, but the phone cannot dial out -- I get a "called failed" message on the car stereo screen. If I look at the phone, I see that the phone has been activated, but it isn't dialing out. And then the phone will make bogus calls to an unrecognized number, or to a non-number. It will do this every 30 seconds or so. If I dial the phone manually, the Blue Tooth seems to work and I can talk to people hands free as usual. But when the call ends (and I don't always have a "call end" button showing on the JVC screen) the phone will again attempt to dial a bogus phone number.
    The only thing that has changed is I upgraded my iPhone to ios8. Are there known issues around Blue Tooth connectivity? I also reset my phone to factory specs and reinstalled ios8 from my PC via the Lightning cable. This didn't change anything (I did that on Sunday evening). The Apple trouble shooting pages are of no help with this (I've already looked at them). I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me -- I think I've tried everything I know to do.
    Thanks!

    I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 and it still won't work. The phone will synch to the JVC blue tooth, but will not dial out. The phone is activated and it has the screen that indicates it is dialing but it isn't. And then the blue connection drops and won't reconnect.

  • IPhone 4 no longer working with Mophie  Juice Air after updating to OS5.1  Thoughts?

    I have a new Mophie Juice Air for my iPhone 4.  The phone does not recognized the fully charged Mophie however, if I plug the case into the charger the phone will recognize the charger.  Any thoughts?

    Odd 3Gs recharge issues galore. My problem is somewhat similar and I believe it is an iPhone issue and not a juice pack issue. Fully charged iPhone, left on, over night (7 hours) and not used, still has reasonable battery power left in the morning, almost full in fact.
    Take the same fully charged iPhone and place it in the iPhone dock connected to the MacPro and the charging sign shows up. Turn the MacPro off overnight and in the morning the iPhone is dead, fully discharged.
    Take the same fully charged iPhone and seat in the fully charged JuicePack Air with the Juice Pack switched to charge the iPhone (green button) and 7 hours later both the JuicePack and the iPhone are dead, fully discharged.
    Repeat this process with the JuicePack switched RED, not charging and the iPhone will be fully discharged but not the Juice Pack 7 hours later. Yes, the Juice Pack will then start to charge the iPhone when switched to green.
    It would appear that when connected to any utility (JuicePack, Dock etc.) the iPhone will start to discharge when that power source dries up. It is as if the dried up power source is draining the power from the iPhone !

  • Iphone 4 no longer works with B&W Zeppelin

    I recently upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.0.1. Before it worked fine with my Zeppelin but not it does not charge and will not play - just get a flashing red light on the Zeppelin and it seems to screw the Zeppelin software up.

    Does anyone have any idea what is wrong and how to fix this?
    Alf

    I have this problem.
    My Zeppelin has been back to b&w twice now and still it is not fixed.
    When I dock my iPhone 4 it starts to charge and then nothing. If I try to play music I get no sound and the volumn bar disappears when it is docked.
    Does anyone have a solution to this now?
