IPhone 4s Won't Sync All iCal Events

After I sync my new iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) using iTunes (10.5.3) on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8), all the iCal events on the MacBook Pro do not show up in the calendar app on the iPhone. I have already searched the Apple support data base, with no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Well, I figured it out. The events that weren't syncing from my laptop to my iPhone were events for which I had changed the "calendar". In other words, I set up some events in iCal, all of which were part off the same calendar, but then I didn't like the color of those events. So I created a new calendar and changed these events by right clicking on them to assign them to the new calendar. Somehow, moving these events from the calendar they were created on to a different one caused them not to be recognized by the sync process. This sounds like a bug to me.

Events entered in iphone calendar won't sync to ical

For some reason, if i add an event to my calendar on my iphone4 it is not showing them in iCal.
Have got sync box checked in the info part of itunes, can't think of anything else
anyone?

The tech way longer.....
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.

My iPhone 5s won't sync all the music in my iTunes

Hi so today I was trying to get rid of the "other" on my iPhone 5s and was going through my storage and one thing led to another and I accidentally deleted all the music on my phone. I thought I could just sync it right back up. Before I hit apply changes on the summary of my phone in iTunes, the bar at the bottom shows how much storage my music will take up when I sync it. However, as soon as I hit apply changes, the bar goes back down to just the songs from my iCloud. I tried re-checking the sync music box under the music tab and re-syncing and it loaded about 216 songs onto my phone while in my music library there's well over 700 songs. The songs are all checked on iTunes so they should sync, but for some reason they aren't. I have no idea what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

mine is doing the same thing other than Itunes saying it can't read the format. I can't play 90% of my music. I took it to an apple store the other day an they told me only purchased music will work. Not even a music upload from a CD. Which to me is a load of ....because my wife has all the songs on her iphone that are greyed out on mine and they work on hers

Can't download Mountain Lion / iPhone 5 won't sync with iCal & Contacts on iMac

Have a 2007 iMac. Running Snow Leopard. Contacts and iCal aren't syncing to iPhone 5. Did a little research and decided maybe it was because I'm not upgraded to Mountain Lion. Tried to download Mountain Lion and it says it cannot because it requires 2GB of memory. Help. What do I do now?

A 2007 iMac, according to http://www.everymac.com can go up to 6 GB ram. you have to check and see if yours is on the compatible list at http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if it is not, you can still go to Lion by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and purchaing a download code to use to download 10.7.5 from the Mac App Store. Lion is compatible with iCloud, also.
You still need at least 2 GB ram, 4 GB is much better. Go to OWC, or Crucial to see about more ram.

ITunes won't sync all of my music to iPhone 4s

iTunes won't sync all of the music, it is skipping random songs, they still come up on the Music on the phone but cannot be played.. If anyone knows how to fix this please help.

Was this music purchased from iTunes or ripped? I have had problems in the past when I changed Apple IDs, and the content purchased through my previous account would not sync. If memory serves, I think it was an issue to do with the Mac not being authorised to access my old account. Signing in with my old account and authorising it resolved it. Not sure if this helps, but thought I would share.

IPhone Calendar Changes not Syncing with ICal

Additions and changes to my iPhone calendar are not synced with ICal on my Mac. Syncing the other direction (adding or changing appointments on my Mac) works, but nothing I change or add on my iPhone appears on my Mac (the same seems to be true of contacts and notes). I have the same problem with an iPod touch.
Has anyone else experienced (and fixed) a similar problem? As it ism the iPhone-Mac sync only works in one direction!

I had the same problem, and then all my calendars stopped syncing either way. They picked a beautiful time to do it, too... right as I was leaving on a business/pleasure vacation where I was making on the fly appointments. grumble
However, I fixed it tonight. Here is what I did.
1. Back up (export) all your iCal calendars. (not just good practice, you'll need them later) Make sure iCal is closed.
2. under ~/Library/Application Support/iCal delete everything.
3. under ~/Library/Calendars delete everything
4. Sync your phone.
At this point you should have your phone overwriting everything in iCal. If your problem is ONLY syncing from phone to iCal you should be good to go, if you can't sync either way, you'll need to:
5. Drag all your backed up calendars back to iCal. In theory they will sort themselves out, but you might have some duplicates between stuff you've created on your phone and in iCal.
I don't know if this will keep the problem from occurring again, but at the very least, I was able to test out my ability to create events on either side, and it works.
I kept hoping that the last iPhone update would solve this for me, alas!

Ipod touch won't sync all of the music even though there is enough free space

I moved my music to external hard drive and now iphone 4S won't sync

I recently moved ALL of my media (music, movies, etc) to my external Seagate 1TB hard drive to free up 200+ gig on my Macbook pro. I followed all of the steps, everything works perfectly, iphone is recognized and syncs all playlists, apps, etc EXCEPT it won't add any new music since the transfer.
So for instance, I added a new playlist for the new NIN album. It sits in the exact same place as all of my other music, but when I sync the phone, it only syncs the older media and NIN is nowhere to be found on the iphone.
I've scoured every message board and blog I can find and can't seem to find the answer.
Anyone??

How is that possible? The itunes music folder is now called itunes media folder and that's what was dragged to the trash and deleted:
I can only go by what you wrote.
"I deleted everything in my music folder"
locate your original iTunes Media folder, and drag it to the Trash.
there is no longer any itunes music or media folder on my mac, only the external hard drive
I quoted from the article. That is not what I am telling you to do now.
. If I had dragged the wrong file to the trash previously, it would have given me a warning, no?
No.
On your Mac, you should have an /Music/iTunes/ folder, yes?
If so, follow the steps I posted above.

Unable to sync All Day events with a Nokia 61i phone in Mac OS X 10..4.10

When I sync events that are created in iCal with a Nokia 61i some events is OK other not. What can I do to get everything right?

First, please check as follows.
* Launch iSync.
* Click the icon of your phone.
* Check the calendar (category) you'd like to sync is checked.
* Click "option".
* Check "Sync all day event" is checked.
I can sync all day events by this way, but have trouble on my N73.
All day events are synced as "meeting" starting from 12:00am to 11:59pm.
In iCal, I have a lot of all day events including holidays, so the weekly view is full of black bars covering whole days.
Should it be synced as "notes"?

Unable to sync certain iCal events through 10.7 to iCloud

I am unable to sync "certain" iCal events from my MacBook Air (10.7.5) and iCloud ... which, unfortunately, doesn't allow my iCal event to get to either my other MacBook Pro, iPhones or those to whom I'm attempting to inform of events. Specifically these events have an attachment (Add file) and a "Show in Mail" URL. Now ... iCal automatically loads these two additional attachments when capturing an event off an email.
Bottom Line: Do I need to ensure iCal and Mac Mail NEVER do this, or is there a way to allow these events to be passed through iCloud? Inquiring minds ...

Hello Dominick Issi,
It is definitely hard to stay on schedule if the calendars on your devices stop syncing. I recommend reviewing the articles below to troubleshoot iCloud calendar syncing issues:

New Iphone 4s won't sync, can't get past 'syncing calendars step 2 of 6'???

New Iphone 4s won't sync off my computer, can't get past 'syncing calendars step 2 of 6'. Got 1/3 of old apps, and contacts, but a 2/3 of my old apps are on the computer.... not real computer savvy, any suggestions?

no no a hard reset is just something you do to the phone, you wont lose any data or anything else its litterally like starting your phone on a fresh slate running wise but you wont lose anything at all, all your apps settings etc will still be right as you left it. think of it as a step above turning it off and on again

IPhone 4 won't sync to iTunes on iMac

Recently my iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes on my iMac. When I connect my iPhone iTunes recognizes it and I'm able to click the sync button. It goes the the sync steps, but at the end it says it can't sync becasue my iPhone is not connected to iTunes even though it is.
My iPhone, iMac and iTunes have the latest software updates. I'm running OS X 10.6.8.
I've tried rebooting both my iPhone and iMac, but it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Wayne

I'm only asking this because I just got my phone unlocked, and the service provider suggested that I restore my iPhone by syncing it with Itunes.......but maybe I don't have to restore my phone? Anyone with advice/suggestions?
