Ical syncing issues with iphone/imac after lion OS update.

Hi All,
I upgraded to lion and now have two issues with syncing my iphone and ipad to my imac.
First issue is that calander entries created on the iphone/ipad do not appear in the imac calander after syncing.
Second issue is that if I change an calander entry on my imac, the old entry and the new entry will show up on my iphone.  For example. I created an event and accidently clicked out of it before changing the name.  I then reopened that entry and changed the name and date. In my imac ical calender I only had one entry at the final date with the correct name.  When I synced my iphone and ipad however two events showed up on the iphone and ipad. The original "new event", and the event with the correct name and date.
The same thing happened when I had the same event occuring for 5 days,  I manual copied the one event five times on the one day and then dragged them to the correct days in ical on my imac.  When I synced my iphone I had both the 5 entries on the one day, as well as the entries on the days I had dragged them to.
In summary, now when I look at my calander in ical on my imac it looks great, but on my iphone it has all these extra entries. It is as though when it syncs it shows me all of my previous entries and changes, instead of the actual current calander.
Any thoughts how I can get the imac and iphone icals to look the same?
and in case you were wondering, I dont use Icloud.  I did set it up and turned it off after the duplicate entry problem that everyone has mentioned.  I dont have that duplicate entry issue anymore.
Thanks
Adrian

From what your write, it is a little hard to tell, what exactly your problem is, though you may want to try the following, which helped me at time:
step one:
export all of your calendars one by one, including the one with entries giving you problems
step two:
erase all of your calendars and create a dummy character, check if syncing works with that one.
reimport the previously exported calendars one by one, redoing the syncing routines.
In the instances I had problems, I found that exporting and reimporting a calendar file usually did away with the problem
Also, at least on my machines, turning on the birthday link to address book, created some problems, so you might want to try without that feature too.
If you got everything working on one machine, another strategy can be to reinitiate syncing from that one, i.e. erase and reinstall the syncing process on the others. Just make sure you have an up to date back up of your entries.

  • Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes

    I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
    I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
    Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied).  The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs.  After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
    I had another issue with my phone when playing music.  When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found.  I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'.  I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle.  After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song.  I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
    I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again.  This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone'  tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play.  All played ok.
    I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening.  Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it.  My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
    I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S.  The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S.  When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app.  However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
    I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process. 
    So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful.   Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
    I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
    Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.

    Hi,
    Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
    Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running.  I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
    So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
    I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices. 
    The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem.  For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD,  this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music.  So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
    At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version.  However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time.  When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone.  This may just have been luck though at that time.
    Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on.  The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is  that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
    I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Sync Issues with iPhone 4/4S? I think I've found the problem.

    Hello all!
    I and quite a few others here have had syncing issues with our iPhone 4, and I think I've found a solution. I use an application called iToner 2 to create my ringtones, and after deleting all my iToner 2 created ringtones, I have no more sync issues.
    If you are using any type of application that is designed to work with the iPhone and iTunes, I would suggest you not use it until it gets updated to work with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5.
    I hope this helps.
    Mike.

  • ICal syncing issues with MobileMe, iPhone

    A while back, I noticed that there were a couple of entires in my iCal that were damaged/corrupt—I could not delete them without iCal crashing. I was willing to live with this, except that it started causing problems when syncing to MobileMe. New entries or not, my iMac attempted to sync with MobileMe almost constantly, and would hang in this mode for an inordinate amount of time. The constant syncing slowed down my Internet connection, so I turned syncing off and no longer updated my online calendar.
    A couple of weeks ago, I purchased the iPhone. More often than not, syncing from my iMac to the iPhone caused iTunes to lock up or crash. When it didn't, it would take 5 to 10 minutes to sync, hanging on the calendar. When it was successful, my iPhone had every permutation of calendar events that had been moved or deleted—making it essentially useless.
    Since the calendar seems to be the common denominator, I backed it up and deleted all entries from both iCal on my iMac and MobileMe. Now, syncing with my iPhone is effortless—but I have no access to my calendar entries. My question: How do I delete the offending entries from my calendar, thereby correcting the problem and once again having access to it on all devices and the Web?

  • Ical sync issue between Iphone and Ipad

    I seem to be having issues syncing events between my Iphone to my Ipad.  icloud is enabled on both and it appears that all the calendars are enabled for syncing.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

    I'm having this issue as well.  I have tried the add new account as was mentioned in other posts (going through the Advanced settings and changing the server location), but it appears that I would be duplicating accounts, and "that is not supported".  I also am having issues with alerts not going to me, but to my husband (who has a google.com email).  When I check the Address Book to see what the main contact card is, it shows my information, yet I am not receiving alerts and my email is not an option to select.  When I changed my Apple Id, he received the confirmation email (as did I).  What do I need to do to: 1) get alerts to come to me and not my husband and 2) sync my iCal with macbook, iPhone, and iPad?  Thanks!

  • Sync issues with iPhone & iPad

    I couldn't find the answer to this in any other post.
    I have been having problems with icloud syncing my computer, iPhone, and iPad.  I am really only noticing issues in the calendar and reminders.
    I have narrowed it down to the fact that the Mac will upload events and reminders to my devices, but anything I put on my devices does not get synced anywhere else.  This is a problem since I enter most of my info on my iPhone and iPad.
    I tried turning the calendars on and off on every device.  I tried resetting sync services.  I saw the post about deleting the calendar prefereces and plist, but I don't have those on my computer.
    Nothing has worked!  Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

    Check to see if calendar events entered on your iPhone and iPad appear on your calendar on icloud.com.  If they don't,
    go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Google calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your phone to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    For reminders, open the reminders app and tap the icon with three stacked bars on the upper left.  Then confirm that you are creating reminders in your iCloud account and not something else such as On My iPhone.

  • ICal syncing issues with phone

    Hello,
    I am relooking at my setup of iPhone and Macbook and realised that my iCal doesnt sync via iCloud, so thought I would get this set up.
    Currently I sync via iTunes without any issues, iCal on my Macbook shows calendars "On My Mac" with matches the phone.
    What I have done is switched on the iCloud option on both iPhone and Macbook for Calenders and then gone into iCal preferences and clicked the iCloud account associated with my apple ID and enabled the account, this then created new calenders called "iCloud" but not of my events are associated with these calenders. So to test I attempted to add an event to one of the iCloud events but as I completed the event and saved it it vanished from the calendar.
    So I think basically I am asking what is the best way to get iCal to work with my Mcbook and my iPhone?
    Thank you for any assistance offered.
    Slighlty confused as I am typing this all my events have been duplicated and appearing as iCloud events, now thinking I just need to delete the "On My Mac" events?

  • Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

    I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not. 
    What I have tried:
    1) Hard reset
    2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
    I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

    The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback.  I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
    I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6.  However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically.  I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car.  Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device.  So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it.  YMMV

  • Sync Issue with iPhone Contacts and Entourage Contacts

    Curious, when I update my contacts from my iPhone 3G I would expect both Entourage Contacts and my MacBook Pro address book to eventually become fully sync'd.
    This is not the case...for example I have added a photo to one contact numerous times and it does eventually update my address book contact but at some point this photo is removed. I have sync services enabled in both Entourage and System Preferences but can't figure out where the conflict exists. I have a suspicion that it is Entourage since this - as of yet - has no idea what a MobileMe cloud is.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I am having some of the same issues and I think you are right about Entourage. Here is what I did for a temporary fix. I did a export, address archive from my address book, then I imported it back into my address book, overwriting my address in my address book, I now have 217 contacts in both my address book and iPhone. Apple has some issues with syncing and they need to get this fixed.

  • Sync files with iPhone 4s after updating to itunes version 11.1.4

    after updating iTunes to version 11.1.4 it wont automatically sync files with my iPhone 4s

    After updating to the newest version of iTunes which is 11.1.3.8, I can no longer edit song information because whenever I click Get Info, the program crashes. It says, "iTunes has stopped working...". I literally tried all the troubleshooting techniques here but to no avail!
    I already:
    Reinstalled iTunes and other related programs like a hundred times
    Scanned my computer for viruses
    Opened iTunes on another user account
    Opened iTunes on safe mode
    Removed unusable configuration files
    BUT STILL, the problem persists. I have the same version of iTunes on my office computer and it works perfectly fine but I want my iTunes here at home to get fixed. Never had problems with editing song information until I updated it to 11.1.3.8.
    I just don't know what to do anymore. I updated this program last January 1 and until now I haven't found any solution. It's really getting on my nerves!!!

  • Ical sync issues with iphone5s (itunes 11.1.5 (5))

    Thanks for help.

    ** UPDATE 3 -- FINAL -- PROBLEM FIXED ***
    I was able to fix my non-working iTunes Windows Calendar sync by going back to iTunes for Windows v11.1.1.
    I used the following steps:
    (1) Uninstalled iTunes for Windows (and associated Apple software) using this guide:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    (2) Installed iTunes for Windows v11.1.1.11.exe
    (Got older version from File Hippo)
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes_32/16100/
    (3) Launched iTunes for Windows, then connected iPad via USB port
    (4) When iPad was recongized, RESET SYNC HISTORY
    -- In iTunes select "Edit", then "Preferences", then select the "Devices" tab
    -- click the "Reset Sync History" button
    -- click "OK".
    (5) Sync the iPad replacing the exiting Calendars on the iPAD
    -- click the 'iPad" button at the top-right of iTunes
    -- Select the "Info" button at the top
    -- Check "Sync Contacts with Outlook", "Sync Calendars with Outlook"
    -- Scroll down and in the "Advanced" section click "Replace information on this iPad, Calendars"
    -- Click "Sync"

  • Syncing issues with iPhone 4

    I have a couple of problems with syncing an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.01 to iTunes on a Windows PC. I also have just set up an iPad 2 linked to the same copy of iTunes.
    This seemed to work fairly well when I upgraded to iOS 5 - but now I've gone to 5.01 some strange things have happened. The first was that at the second sync since upgrading iTunes initially didn't recognise the phone and wanted to reset it. I synced via cable and it ran through the setup again as if I'd just upgraded the software but everything seemed to be OK.
    However, now when I sync it tells me that 616 of my contacts on the PC will be changed. This may or may not have something to do with the fact that I tried to have a different setting for syncing the contacts on the iPad, and iTunes does not appear to like having different settings for an iPhone and an iPad on the same account.
    Everything else syncs OK by cable. However, the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting on the iPhone suggests that only apps are synced, though more seems to actually be synced.
    So I guess my questions are:
    1. Is it possible to control the syncing of contacts so, for example, the computer overrides the phone in cases of conflict?
    2. How do you actually control what the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync on the iPhone actually syncs, or displays as being synced?

  • I have lot of issues with iphone it ***** after spending so much money!!!

    I have lot of issues with the iPhone. First I cant forward the messages that people sent me, second you can't receive or send a picture mail directly from phone to phone, the sounds and the speaker is so low you can barely hear and has lot of static when you turn on the speaker phone, and you cannot connect to itunes store with the internet you have through AT & T it keeps asking you for Wi Fi and says cannot connect to itunes store, and you can't send address to other phones that really *****
    I mean these features are so simple any cheap phone can do it why not iphone they say it is so advance over the other phones. apple should really work on this. i think that is the reason people still prefer black berries or other phones. iphone is cool as they say it is but it is not that impressive at all if you can do basic features like these!!!!

    Did you do any research before buying your iphone?
    "First I cant forward the messages"
    Always been that way
    " you can't receive or send a picture mail directly from phone to phone"
    Yes you can. People can send an MMS to your e-mail address, instead of your phone number. You can e-mail a pic to their phone - they will receive as n MMS. Do a forum search as this has been explained thousands of times.
    "you cannot connect to itunes store with the internet you have through AT & T"
    It is called the itunes wi-fi store for that very reason.
    " you can't send address to other phone"
    Again, nothing new.
    Perhaps you should spend more time researching before you spend the money.
    If you are within the return window, take the iphone back to the store and get you money back - less restocking fee - consider it the cost of not researching.

  • Photo sync issues with iPhone 3GS

    My wife is having two problems with photos on the iPhone.
    The first problem she is having is some photos that she wants on the iPhone will not sync because "The iPhone cannot display them". The photos are in JPG format, and she has several other JPGs on the iPhone.
    Which leads us to the second problem. When she syncs the iPhone with iTunes she gets duplicate photos on the iPhone. Also, they cannot be deleted as there is no trash icon when she browses them.
    Her phone is a 1 day old 16 GB 3GS, using a Win XP machine (iTunes 8.2.1.6)
    Any help is appreciated as she is very frustrated by this.
    Thanks,
    -Seth

    Photos transferred from the computer to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process are selected under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Photos transferred via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer process only - from the computer to the iPhone, and are removed from the iPhone in the same way - via the iTunes sync process - the same for music and video. Photos transferred to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted by the iPhone. Photos captured by the iPhone - photos in the iPhone's camera roll can be deleted by the iPhone.
    Not sure about the photos that will not transfer problem - I've never had a problem transferring any photos from my Mac, which are all jpeg format.
