Iphone and ical syncing issues

My iphone 3GS seems to be creating double all of the ical entries? I have recently updated to the new mobileme calendar but this was happening just before also.
I enter ical events on both my mac book pro and my iphone. Ical does not double the events but the iphone does.
Anyone else had this issue or know what could be causing it??
Cheers.

There's a whole "encyclopedia" in these forums about this problem. Suggest you search here for something like "iCal event duplication" and you should find a good bit of helpful information.
That said, I had similar problems with my iPhone 3G and then my iPhone 4, and it basically came down to MobileMe issues. My best advice would be to look first to see whether or not the calendar on your MBP agrees with the one on MobileMe - I'm betting you'll find issues there for which the phone is just a display medium. It will probably be necessary for you to reset your sync data and clean out either the iCal data or the data in MM Calendar.

  • IPHONE OS4 ICAL Sync Issue - Nothing synching from phone ack to computer ??

    I installed Iphone OS4 yesterday on my 3GS model through my IMAC Intel 2,8GHZ yesterday and ALL went fine, the features and Ibooks are all functioning perfectly BUT BUT BUT I have just noticed that the sync feature of the ICAL is not working as the new events I created on the phone are not synching with my computer so my computer's ICAL is not beeing updated as it was prior to the update.
    I have checked settings and all is as it was before, no changes in configuration, sync is activated, mobile me is NOT activated, replace items on phone is NOT activated.

  • IPhone and iCal sync via iTunes - calendars appear on IPhone not in iCal

    Hi, i hope that someone out there may have encountered and resolved this.
    Basically I am trying to sync my iPhone 3G with iCal using iTunes as the sync tool. I have partial success in that my iCal calendar entries can be found within my iPhone BUT the reverse is not true, my iPhone calendar is showing in iCal - I would expect to see within the calendar list something like "on my iPhone" (although never having done this before i may be completely wrong!).
    I should add that my iPhone is a company phone synced to Outlook over the air, iTunes tells me this, but it doesn't tell me that i can't do a Sync with my iMac.
    Any help welcomed.

    This doesn't help you, but I just recently started having the same problem, I just upgraded my 3G to 4.0 in iTunes so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but nothing on my phones calendar will sync to iCal. Events in iCal sync to the computer just fine thought. I hope someone can help me figure this out!

  • Iphone and Camera Syncing Issues

    When I plug in my Iphone to my MacBook I get an error message that reads "Syncing has been disabled on this Machine". Then when I click "Override" It states that it cannot be done. Then the iphone will start sycing. When I plug in either of my two cameras the computer does not recognize them at all, not allowing me to upload any photos. Almost as if nothing has been plugged into the USB Port. This also happens with Printers. It does not recognize that a printer is plugged into the USB port, therefore does not allow me to print anything.
    What should I do?

  • Sync iphone with ical, sync iphone with ical

    How do i sync my iPhone with iCal on my Mac? 
    FYI I DO NOT want to use iCloud because MobileMe NEVER worked right for me.

    Dear Ferd II,
    Thanks for your pointout. It worked for me, though not the first time. I had my iTunes sync prefs set to sync automatically upon iPhone connection, but you can't access the "info" tab until it's connected. So my first time thru, I tried to click "replace calendar on iPhone one time from Mac" and then hit the "apply" button WHILE the sync was already in progress. It didn't like that, so I suggest to set those prefs in iTunes FIRST, then export and import the calenders along with the remove sync history via iSync, as per the instructions in the link you gave. My second time thru, using the prefs already preset, it all worked fine, and now the iPhone and iCal sync in both directions again.
    Awesome.

  • ICal syncing issues

    Hi - can anyone help me....
    I have a Macbook Pro at home, an iMac at my office, and an iPhone in my pocket. I cannot, for the life of me, get the calendars to sync properly. On my laptop I have appointments that do not appear on my iPhone (very frustrating) and sometimes things that I add to my iCal on the iMac don't appear on either the iPhone or the Macbook. Also the reminders are a nightmare. Because I often leave both computers running all the time if a reminder appears on one of the machines it remains there until I am beside that machine to be able to either delay it or cancel it. Therefore this means that further reminders on other devices don't come up and sometimes I miss things I supposed to do.
    Two more questions (sorry):
    Is it possible to add postponement time options to the drop down that appears when a reminder comes up on the screen. The choices are somewhat limited, they go in nice stages up to two hours, then the next choice is one day! Sometimes I want a reminder in four or eight hours but to do that I need to just keep going in increments of two hours which occasionally leads to the problems referred to above.
    Secondly, when a reminder comes up in the iPhone whilst it is being used (i.e. on a call) you have a choice of either close or open appointment. Does close mean that it just closes it from what you are doing or does that mean that it cancels the ongoing reminder? Similarly when you click the other option there seems to be no obvious way postpone the reminder for another few hours.......??
    Sorry to be so long-winded

  • IPhone Cross-platform Sync Issue

    I sync as follows:
    MS Exchange/Outlook 2007/Windows XP SP2 <--> Plaxo <--> iCal/Leopard <--> iPhone/1.1.3
    All works well, except:
    Calendar entries: Multi-day, all-day, non-recurring entries created in Outlook sync properly to Plaxo and iCal, but show up on the iPhone extended by one-day; e.g., an event spanning Jan 11-13 shows properly in Exchange, Plaxo and iCal, but shows up in the iPhone as Jan 11-14. When synced back to iCal, these events are NOT extended by one day. Events created in the iPhone and then synced back to iCal, Plaxo and Outlook do not exhibit this behavior. I've upgraded to the latest build of Plaxo, deleted the sync points and iCal calendars and started over, but it still does this. Is there some inconsistency in the Outlook data format that might be causing this? Everything is on Eastern Standard Time.
    Thanks,

    Fixed. Plaxo for Outlook update 3.8.0.64 fixed this so that all-day events sync properly. Thanks to Drew at Plaxo support forums for the info.

  • I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

    I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

    I lost all content on my ipod after connecting it to a new computer. I had brought my iTunes library over from the old computer and had the most recent iTunes installed, but iTunes didn't see the ipod. Long & short of it is I worked with Apple support, finally was able to restore the ipod and everything looked like it was syncing normally. When I ejected the ipod there was no content on it at all. After trying several times unsuccessfully to get it reloaded and another session with Apple support, they suggested the ipod was damaged. Since it was working fine up till that point I doubted that. I then thought it might be the iTunes library that was corrupt so I checked that. (It's fine.) So I found an ipod repair place (authorized Apple dealer) and when I called them they found that it appears to be an issue with iTunes software itself and pretty much said I have to wait for an update to fix the issue. So I did everything you're supposed to do & it messed up my ipod. Now iTunes doesn't recognize thje ipod again!

    So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks.  I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
    On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
    Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

    Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

  • Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

    I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player.  It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams.  It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
    The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
    I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux.  I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
    To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com
    To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
    I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
    We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
    If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    You need to add this setting:
    dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
    The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
    I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
    Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
    https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
    Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.
