ICloud sync problem with calendar Events on MBP and iPhone since last update. Some of my calendars appear to have either been deleted or merged.

I've noticed quite a few events have disappeared since the last update. Also my calendars appear to have either been deleted or merged. I've lost some very important events. Has anyone else had these problems?

ICloud sync problems with 10.9.3

Over the last 2 months I've noticed that from time to time my Notes & Calender stop syncing to iCloud from my MacBookPro. For example, the Notes window has "Updating ..." tacked onto the window title bar. When this happens, it's often the case that the iCloud pane in System Preferences won't open.
Other discussions suggest checking accounts etc but this clearly isn't the problem since iCloud syncing starts working again after a restart.
Any ideas? Should I try a system re-install?

I think I have solved the problem myself (but thanks again Csound1 for your suggestion as it made me try other remedies.)
There are two almost identical MacBook Pros in our home (mine and my wife's) and I keep them synced at intervals. I think the problem may have been to do with the fact that my account on each computer uses iCloud for Notes, Calendar and Mail accounts, and in some way the two Macs had become too identical so that iCloud was not distinguishing between them, leading to what I think system programmers call a 'deadly embrace' (each Mac waiting for the other to finish some task, like two ultra polite people trying to let each other go through a door first). Since carrying out the steps below on 20th June, iCloud sync has been working perfectly, Mail has stopped crashing, and the iCloud pane in System preferences always opens when I select it. In fact I have not had to use Force Quit at all since that date, and I have not restarted my computer (just let it sleep when not in use).
What I did was:
Step 1: made backups or archives of all mailboxes, notes, calendars and contacts from my Mac (anything that had anything to do with iCloud).
Step 2: on my Mac from System Preferences, selected the iCloud control pane, turned off iCloud syncing for all options individually, accepting any advisories that data copies would be deleted from my Mac.
Step 3: still in the iCloud pane of System Preferences, logged my Mac out of iCloud.
Step 4: repeated steps 2 and 3 for my duplicate account on my wife's Mac.
Step 5: restarted both Macs.
Step 6: on each Mac, logged back into iCloud and re-enabled iCloud syncing where wanted. [In the case of contacts, I deleted all contacts on the Mac completely first as otherwise you end up with duplicated entries as the data from iCloud is merged with the data on the Mac itself.] All the iCloud data was then correctly downloaded onto each Mac, and I did not need the backups I had made (but of course one should always make backups before carrying out any major re-organisation).
I have also checked my cross-Mac syncing procedures, and now I only sync folders that I know hold user content. This means anything that's not in ~/Library (the user's library), but it can also include some folders in the library such as mailboxes. Of course there's no point re-syncing anything set up to sync via iCloud (such as notes, calendars and contacts), but even if you select Mail in iCloud preferences actual mail messages aren't included, hence the need to sync ~/Library/Mail if you keep mail on your computer (as I do) rather than relying in an IMAP mail server.
That was it, and as I said, it seems to be holding good.
Hope these notes will be helpful to someone else.

TS3991 iCloud sync problem with iPad

Hello, I have bought a new iPad (first time) and wanted to sync my presentations currently stored in iCloud using Keynote. With my iPhone, it works perfectly but when it comes to iPad, I see the files but they are not downloading. I see just empty downloading bars, but they stay like that. I also can't delete them because they haven't been downloaded yet
So, I tried deleting them from iCloud and lets see if they are gonna disappear. But no, they haven't. Even though I tried closing/reopening icloud option for Keynote (when i closed it asked me whether you want to delete files or not, I said "yes, delete them") they appeared again.
Currently, I closed iCloud option for Keynote and imported my files using Dropbox, I would be really happy if I can use iCloud service again.
Thanks.

Have you tried deleting your iCloud account from your iOS device and adding it back again.

Problems with Repeating Events on Palm and iCal

Hi,
I'm having a problem with daily-repeating events entered into either my Palm or iCal. When I put events in my palm and sync them to iCal, the iCal calendars look right, but then the Palm events become truncated,i.e. only the first day of daily event will be visible. If I do nothing but just sync again, the events in iCal become weirdly duplicated, i.e. if an event had two repeats, the "original" occurrance will be there, along with a second, starting on next day of the series, lasting for the same number of repeats. Is there any way to make one calendar the overwriting calendar while using iSync? Or do you know of some other fix? This problem doesn't seem to affect other repeating events, either monthly or yearly.
Thanks

As I just posted in another thread, there are a whole series of 'representation disconnects' between the Palm calendaring application and iCal.
While this article— iSync: About Syncing Recurrent Events Between iCal and Palm OS Based Devices—would lead to you believe that iSync is primarily the issue, it's not: this behavior occurs primarily because of the differences between the calendaring programs in each environment, and only secondarily because of the manner in which records are pushed and pulled by the synchronization framework.
iSync itself is simply another compliant sync client, and there is unfortunately no workaround for the issues delineated in the article.

Sync Problems with cell 5220 Xpress Music and abno...

Hello Ovi Team,
I have recently noticed that there is a bug to be fixed on OVI tool/Application which you have brought out. i m facing few problems which i would like to mention here and also would like to know the solution for the same asap.
Whenever i sync my cell (5220 Xpress Music) contacts with ovi suite, i have alwys noticed that the cell phone behaves abnormally and there are few blank messages created within the cell phone after each sync is done, i really dont know how this is been happening. but each time i sync with OVI suite i have this blank msgs created in my INBOX / Sent Messages / anywhere in Messages directory. i have to restore the factory settings everytime i sync with Ovi to get rid of this blank messages or abnoramal behaviour problem of my cell. this problem had not been there while i was using Nokia PC Suite.

And also few times i have noticed that my cell behaves abnoramlly after sync either gets hanged up or restarts automatically something or the other goes wrong. 1st i thought might be there is some virus or trojan on my system doing this with my cell. but checked it completely with my System and the cell phone. i dint find any of the suspicious things running anywhere.
And i request Ovi team to look upon this bug issue and resolve this asap. and i also request you to reply me with a suitable resolution for this issue. if you need any more info or anything related to this issue. post me back would be happy to help you.

ICal Help Needed! (cannot delete calendars/events on computer and iPhone)

Hi Everyone,
I need some help with my iCal. Background info:
-Currently have an iPhone 3GS
-Using Google Calendar
-Use separate calendar on iPhone (Pocket Informant)
-Wanted to sync all event from Outlook to Google Calendar to iCal to two calendars on phone (this became an issue with alarms so began attempting to delete all events from the original iPhone calendar that I do not want to use)
I started by syncing my Outlook (one way) with my Google Calendar, which syncs with the iCal on computer and Pocket Informant on iPhone, as well as iCal on iPhone. Duplicate alarms started occurring on the phone (PI and iCal). I then attempted to delete all events from the iCal on the computer. One calendar remains, one that I subscribed to from Yahoo Sports. I have tried everything to delete this calendar, but it seems impossible. After I sync the phone, the subscribed calendar shows up as well as birthdays and one calendar from my Google Calendar, on my phone.
So, the issues, and what I would eventually like to see:
1. I would like all events cleared from iCal on computer (currently just subscribed calendar that will not delete)
2. I would like to delete all events from calendar on phone (subscribed calendar, birthdays, and one calendar from Google) *I cannot even delete these events by hand on my phone.
3. In the end I would like to just continue to sync Outlook with Google which syncs with PI and then do nothing with iCal (on phone and computer) *Well really I would like events from Google synced with iCal on computer, but this doesn't seem feasible so I would settle with not using it at all.
The only thing I can think of to do at this point is to delete iCal, but I am not even sure this would correct the calendar issue on my phone as I am unable to delete that and the sync does not seem to be working correctly.
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!!

The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

Problem with Access of memory card and internal storage after update

Hej,
I cant save anything on intern or extern memory.
Was about to write some file into a folder belonging to some application.
Made this with a copy from external to internal memory alst friday without any problem. But I even could not save a file on the memory card, memory ist locked.
All this is new after some SW Update last Saturday.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Did you use the preinstalled app "File Commander" when you tried this or a 3:rd party file manager? Due to new restrictions for the external SD card in Android 4.4 you need to use the preinstalled file manager or use a computer to write to any folder on the external SD.

WiFi problem with iOS 7.0.3 and iPhone 5

My iPhone 5 has been working flawlessly with iOS6. After updating it to iOS 7 I have an irritating problem with the WiFi connection at work. Everything is OK for some time, then the WiFi connection just stops working. There is a WiFi icon max signal strength icon but there's just no connection. There are usually no error messages. Safari would just spin the connectivity icon forever with nothing showing on the screen. Facebook won't load anything, etc. Unfortunately the phone won't fallback to cellular. I have to either reset it, or restart it. Sometimes just diabling-enabling WiFi works, sometimes not.
I've read a lot about this problem, it seems to be very common on 4S, however it seems I am alone to have it on 5. I've tried all the suggested solution - reset my network settings, I have even reinstalled my iPhone as a new one and not from my iOS6 backup. It doesn't help.
Note that the problem is not in our WiFi network since my iPad 3 works perfectly and has connectivity at the same time.
Having in mind this is very widespread issue on iPhone 4S which is still not fixed even in version 7.0.3, I am kind of exhausted. I've been a loyal Apple fan but if this doesn't get fix in the next iOS 7 update, I'll probably look other brands finally. It's really such a shame!

You are not alone i am having same issue on my i5 ios7.0.3 but apple is still not responding on the issue several sites and even apple discussion forum is filled with this issue no major fix or trick works as what apple says in its help. waiting for apple to respond on this isuue

I can no longer open up any links on emails to any website. It just takes me to firefox but keeps the last page I was looking at. No problem using Safari however. ONly has happened since last update

I have an imac and using lastest firefox update. No links open to any website using firefox when I click on link on email. No difference if I right click and choose to open the link either

Hi Olivier,
Thanks very much for that. it worked on my powerbook(running Tiger). I went to the link and followed the instructions and it worked. Did i mention that my dad who has a iMac running Leopard now has the same problem. I thought i would just do the same but the Preference in Mail for Leopard is of course different. There is no icon called "Server Settings" under Accounts section like there is on mine. Do you have a link for the same kind of instructions for Leopard?
Thanks again,
Bryce

Instantly syncing calendar events on iPad and iPhone.

What settings do I need to have in order to have my iPhone and iPad's calendar sync instantly (or even almost instantly)?
For example, say I type in Dentist appt for tomorrow at 3:00 on my ipad. I want to be able to open calendar on my iphone and see it there. Or at least have calendar on iphone sync when I turn it on. I suspect I need to do something in settings but not sure what. Please advise. Thanks.

There's no setting for that. When you open your calendar they should automatically sync with the server and refresh the events. You can force a manual refresh by tapping Calendars on your phone, then pulling down and releasing the screen.

Sync problem with iTUNE 5

Ever since I updated my iTUNE to iTUNE 5, I have not been able to sync with my iTUNE. Whenever I try to sync, I get the following message.
"The software required for communicating with the iPOD is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTUNES to install the iPOD's software"
I did what the error suggested. I uninstalled iTUNES and reinstalled numerous versions, I get the same error, does anyone know how to get around this problem, thanks.

I just noticed a similar problem. my ipod functions fine and is recognized on the desktop, but when i open itunes, it doesn't notice that my ipod is even attached. rebooting ipod didn't fix the problem.

Mountain Lion calendar and notes sync problems with exchange server via WLAN

After upgrading to Mountain Lion calendar and notes do not sync anymore with my exchange server via WLAN. There are no syncing problems via ethernet if WLAN is deactivated. Mail works fine with both connection types. Similar problems known? Solutions?
Thanks for any ideas.

Exact same issue ... cropped up in the past 2 weeks. Constantly syncing and re syncing. Watching calendar events show up and disappear. Tried all the normal stuff including deleting and re setting up the entire acct ... no luck. It built out the whole calendar correctly ( from what I could tell) and then started to sync again and appointments randomly appeared and disappeared .....

Google contacts and calendar events entered on my iPhone 5s are not syncing with my google account.

Newly entered contacts and calendar events entered on my IPhone 5s are not syncing to google.
Facts that may be pertinent:
- I switched from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5s and did the easy option of having it automatically set up like my previous phone, so I did not change any part of the setup. It is possible that it stopped syncing at that time, based on which contacts have synced and which haven't.
- My gmail account is set up as Exchange, with Mail, Contacts, and Calendars set to sync.
- Server: m.google.com, Use SSl is on, S/MIME is off (I don't actually know what these are, but maybe they matter?)
- Fetch New Data / Gmail account is set to Push
- Contacts and Calendar Default Account is Gmail
- In the Contacts app under Groups I have only GMAIL checked.
I've read that Google recommends CardDAV, which I gather is not the same as Exchange?
I'm afraid to delete anything and start over, for fear of losing my contacts.
Is there a difference between the gmail account I set up and what the Contacts app calls GMAIL?
If there is anything I should communicate about how things are set up on the Google end, let me know.
Thanks in advance for help!

Hello Marsden,
Try this...
Go to the isync program on your Mac.
Go to Preferences in the main menu
Hit Reset Sync History
I'm pretty sure this is how I fixed it... so far so good.
Let me know if that works for you!

Sync problems with iCloud & Outlook 2010?

I am having sync problems with Outlook. Sync seems to cause outlook to crash, run boggy, etc. Tried Code Two software to sync which only made thing worse. Any ideas?

Another way to put it would be: What is the optimal combination when you have a Windows PC running Outlook on one hand, and want to sync contact and calendar information with your iPhone over the Internet?
Maybe I should ask, what is the least painful way of doing this?
Is it Gmail+Outlook+some add on?
Outlook.com + Outlook?
Or something else?
