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.

Follow the instructions here or here. Note that while iOS applications can be stored on a computer, they can’t be run on it.

The problem is that there is not a single application that makes use of this on a Mac. Not even iWork09 v9.1 where everybody thought it would sync to the cloud and to iOS5 - it does not.
Iwork Users need to open Safari, go to www.icloud.com, into the iwork section there in the browser and drag and drop the files from Mac to the cloud this way to have the documents in the cloud and have them available onto their iOS5 , too.
No way around that clumsy solution.
"documents and data" is currently limited to iWork for iOS only. ( Sketchbook Pro for iOS and a handful of mini apps start using it too, on iOS that is all - not on Mac ) .

I cant sync ibook epub to ipad and iphone

i cant sync ibook epub to ipad and iphone

The iBooks app only syncs content you get from the iBooks Store. Anything else has to be synced through iTunes.

TS3999 Since upgrading to IOS 7, my calendar no longer syncs with Outlook Express 2010 on my PC. I believe we have iCloud 3.0 on our PC. I have tried all of the recommended remedies but the calendar from my iPad and iPhone has totally disappeared from Out

Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading their iPhone and iPad to iOS 7?

See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

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.

How do I sync calendars between my iMac and iPhone?

I have tried to follow these Apple instructions but cannot find the Info or Contacts tab spoken about in point 2. Can anybody help?
Open iTunes, then connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.Open iTunes
Select your device, click the Info (or Contacts) tab, then select Sync Calendars.
Select whether you want to sync all your calendars or only the calendars you select.
Select any other options, then click Apply.Your calendar information is updated each time you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.

Thank you Wjosten,
Yes I'm using Mavericks but I am reluctant to use icloud because its just another bill to pay every month and I think its unfair of Apple to take this facility away from me just because I can't afford to icloud.
However, thank you for sending me this message.

Safari 7.1 update wiped out all my Google Calendar events on mac and iPhone

I get a message that my ipad and iphone cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have tried to sync books to my iPad and iphone and i get the message that I cannot connect to the iTunes store and thus cannot sync a book to my books app. Why?

I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

ToDo app not syncing with iCloud to iPad and iPhone

I have the Appigo ToDo app on my ipad and was synching it successfuly with my Mac iCal reminders. Prefering to use ToDo i have now installed it on my Mac and on my iPhone but it won't sych them together via the iCloud as promised. Using the 'advanced' tab i managed to get all the info onto all three devices but when i change something on one device - its doesn't change on the others. I have followed the instructions and repeated them - is there something i am missing?

@geands - Did you ever get a fix?
mine is the same after working fine for months - now they are all different! argh!
have reset them all - even though I fear losing stuff.
I'm going to try going back to a local network connection to sync - will keep you posted.

Sync maps bookmark between iPad and iPhone

Hello
I would like to sync maps bookmark between my iPad 2 and iPhone 4
Is there a way to do that ?

There is actually a way via contacts, but not a convenient one.
You have to do it one by one for your existing bookmarks in Maps.
You need a Mac to seperate those "bookmark contacts" from your regular contacts.
I use this method now instead of the Maps bookmarks.
0. Make the necessary setting to sync your contacts with iCloud on your iOS devices (and your Mac if you want to use a "bookmark group")
1. Open a bookmark in Maps (or search for something) then click on the i-icon
2. Choose to put it in a new Contact (modify info as you like)
3. Add item for Notes with the text "bookmark"
This "bookmark contact" will now be synced through iCloud to your Mac and other iOS devices
I don't want my contacts to be cluttered with those "bookmark contacts", so I choose to create a seperate group
4. In addressbook on the Mac do a search for "bookmark"
5. select file --> New group from selection
6. after you've added additional "bookmark contacts" in Maps on your iPhone or iPad you have to search and select them and then drag them to your "bookmark group" in address book on the Mac

How do I sync Notes between my iPad and iPhone?

My Notes on my ipad are not syncing with the notes on my iPhone. Aren't they supposed to sync?

Not necessarily. They would if you, for example, set them all up as iCloud notes. This article explains:
