Ical won't sync with iPhone over iCloud

I have an iPhone 3GS which doesn't want to sync with ical.
I am successfully syncing ical between my MBP and icloud and vice versa, but the iPhone won't work. I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage. And everything else that i have found on google, so i'm after any other ideas?
I have restored the phone at least twice, and still no luck. I am running latest version of ios...
With icloud for ical turned on on the phone a LOT of battery power is wasted, with 0 use of phone it went down 20% in 1 hour. It looks like it's constantly trying to update, but nothing comes down to the phone, or goes up to the cloud.
I am successfully syncing contacts between the phone, cloud and MBP - though this wasn't entirely straightforwards due to duplicates and other such issues with the phone.
I'm getting very frustrated! The only bit I really *need* to sync to my phone is the ical. I can manage without everything else! Sigh.

Anna,

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5. How can I refresh them so they will all sync together. I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro. I turned iCloud off then on again. I also turned calendars on and off again. Then the event disappeared from my iPad also. So now it is only on my iPhone 5. How do I sync ical with all my devices?

Thanks John, you're a star! it's back to normal, it was hours last night resetting my iphone but no luck. I reset my sync services this morning and it works!
Why have Apple made it so difficult to do this, why hide things away? I spent ages looking for my library the other day as that was hidden! Mad!
Much appreciated John,

How to keep a playlist in sync with iPhone over iCloud

I love being able to store all my music in the cloud with iCloud. The only problem is that I want to use iCloud to keep a selected playlist in sync with my iPhone because I only want about 500 of my 2000 songs stored on my iPhone. It is easy to do this if I use WiFi sync but I would like to be able to access my other songs when I am on Wifi through iCloud because really, thats what I'm paying for with iCloud. Has anyone found a work around to this issue?
Thanks

With iTunes Match your music is simultaneously downloaded to your phone when you play it. As soon as you play a song not on your playlist, it will be downloaded too. There isn't a way at the present time to keep only certain songs on the phone, then only stream the rest. Perhaps the ability to do this will be included in a future update. If you would like to see this change you can let Apple know here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

ICal won't sync with iPhone

Hi,
I am having a similar problem as others but I cannot understand all of the directions given.
There are many different sets of directions and not sure which to follow. Not only that, a user will say to go to a particular folder and I have no idea where to find that folder.
I have 10.8.2. I recently purchased an Air (had a Pro before) and now my calendar never syncs so what is on my phone never transfers to my calendar, thus making my calendar useless.
If you're going to give directions, please go step by step. Although I am not computer illiterate, I seem to have a hard time figuring out what everyone else seems to get immediately! Rather than say, find folder abc, please tell me where that folder is, how to find it, etc..... basically, I need baby steps!
Thought this would be easier, sorry for any inconvenience!
Please help. Have been trying to resolve this for some time.

If you are attempting to sync Calendars with WiFi, or USB, try: iOS: Syncing with iTunes.
If you are using iCloud, try iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

ICal won't sync with iPhone 4

I am having trouble syncing new events onto my iPhone. I have made some new entries on iCal on my iMac but when I synch my iPhone 4 these new events are not on my iPhone calendar. I have tried ticking the box to overwrite the information but even after I do this it still won't put on the new events, but oddly the other events are still on my iPhone, some being old entries that I have had set up for ages (reoccurring events) and some being entries that I made on my iPhone.
Why won't these new events that I make on my iMac synch with my iPhone?

Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

Is synching over wi-fi viable? I've never done it, but when I tried something similar back in the old Palm PDA days, it was S-L-O-W, slow as molasses. I realize that the i-device are far more modern with faster processors, but wondering whether it's even worth exploring doing this.

ICal unexpectedley closes & won't sync with iPhone

For some odd reason, my iCal closes 15-20 seconds after I open it. Furthermore, iCal will not sync with my iPhone anymore. This is odd, as it has worked fine in the past, and syncing with my iPhone has never been a problem. I suspect some recent software updates with either Mac OS X(10.4.11) iPhone or iTunes has triggered this new problem. But I'm at my wits end trying to figure this one out.
Can anyone help me?

Hi dsmith,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
Also, open Console in Utilities, then start iCal & watch for messages.

ICal won't sync with iPad

iTunes says that calendars are syncing, but events from my iPad don't show up on my iMac. This is frustrating as this is the only way I have of syncing my iPad and iPhone. Please help
I have searched and see that many others are having this issue with no real resolution. I am hoping it has been fixed in the 6 weeks since the last post I found.

2 songs that won't sync with iPhone 4

I have 2 "songs" in iTunes that won't sync with my iPhone 4. I say "songs" because they are 30-minute treadmill workout songs that I purchased a long time ago when I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch and used the old Nike+ system that required a sensor in my shoe as well as a tracker attached to the iPod. I think it was one of the first issues of the Nike+ system. Anyway, I purchased OK Go's Master the Treadmill and another Treadmill Training compilation. Both albums contained a 30+ minute voice-over track with the songs and guidance for running. Then, the individual songs were included for you to listen to without a guiided workout if you wanted. Since I've had my iPhone 4 (about a year now), I haven't been able to figure out how to get these 30-minute voice-over songs to sync (the individual songs sync fine). They appear in a "Workouts" folder in iTunes - I think that was linked up to Nike+, but I'm not actually sure where that folder came from. They play on iTunes, but no matter what I do, I can't get them to appear on my iPhone. I've tried adding them to a playlist, creating a new playlist, but nothing works. The songs don't show up anywhere on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
(I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4)

I'm in the same boat. I have an original iPhone which has been working fine for years. Always updated contacts, always synced with my calendars and contacts. Now my iPhone has done a software update and I'm stuffed.
I can select the tick boxes to tell it to update contacts and calendars, then when the option to apply is selected it removes the ticks and starts to do a sync without actually updating anything.
Part way through is comes up with the error that iTunes cannot update because a sync session cannot be started. I've tried a hard reset of the phone, re-installing iTunes, deleting multiple calendars. I've tried everything I've had suggested. Apple won't offer any support when I rang because my phone is old. They'll willing sell me new phone ! ! ! !
I've trawled through nearly every web and forum I can. I've tried a multitude of so called fixes all to no avail.
Having been an avid supporter of the iphone/itunes and apple, I am now so pi**ed off with it.
I've been trying solutions for 3 days ! ! !
And I STILL have no contacts or calendars on my phone.
