Iphone calendar entry comes up with red dot?

I entered an entry on my iphone calendar that somehow had a red dot associated with it. As opposed to either blue or green, home or work, the standard calendars I have. Sync between my iphone entries and the mobilme 'cloud' has been working fine except for this one entry. It doesn't appear on the mobilme server's calendar nor any of my ical's on my computers. I don't know how this red color was assigned to it, because I didn't, at least not on purpose. Any thoughts?

How annoying. I just found this too. Right after I re-signed up with Apple's less than stellar MobileMe service b/c I can't find any other way to sync my contacts and calendar. What a waste of $99 per year for something so simple considering how much this phone can do.
Anyway, here;s what i have found:
When inputting a new appt in iPhone - with MobileMe in effect - I now see an option called Calendar (under "Repeat" and "Alert" in input screen). When I leave new appt in default iPhone calendar the date gets red dot and does NOT sync with MobileMe. So - and here's the annoying part - the only way I can make sure my newly input appts get synced to MobileMe and my Outlook on PC is if I take the additional 3 button clicks/steps to click "MobileMe" in Calendar section.
If I do that then the appt gets a blue dot and syncs properly across the board
I am very VERY disappointed and how unsimple (unApple) they have made syncing contacts and calendar with this phone. If anyone else finds diff, please tell me

IPhone calendar entries not synced with MacBook calendar

I use my iPhone 4S calendar as my primary calendar for entering or modifying events for the simple reason that it's with me most, if not all the time.
But after upgrading my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion last week, calendar entries entered or modified on my iPhone no longer synchronize with the calendar on my MacBook Air. As such, I have to manually make the entries or modifications on my MacBook Air so that the calendar will be updated when I synchronize it with my iPad. Am not using iCloud, so the calendar on my MacBook is a local calendar (On My Mac).
Any thoughts on why this is happening and what can I do to fix this?

I have noticed a problem recently, although I can't absolutely be sure it's related to Mountain Lion on the computer. Perhaps iCloud (which I set up, but am not really using yet).
My specific issue is that if I go into Calendar (formerly iCal) on the mac, and edit an already existing calendar event -- change the time, or move it to another day -- the change doesn't always sync through to the iphone properly.
Example: I had a recurring weekly event for 7:pm on a specific day of the week. The start time got pushed back to 7:30. I changed it on the mac, and sync'd to the phone. However, the change did not get applied to the iphone calendar. If I edit it on the iphone itself, it will sync back the other way correctly.
Same sort of problem occurs if I move an event from one day to another on the mac. I will wind up with it showing up on BOTH days on the iphone. If I delete an item, same thing.
It acts like the iphone versions of calendar entries are write-protected in a way. If I edit them on the phone, the changes stick and sync properly to the mac. If I try to do it the other way around, they do not.

My iPhone calendar entries won't sync with my iCal using iTunes

Hi,
For some odd reason my iPhone calendar entries will not sync with my iCal using the sync feature in iTunes.
The syncing of everything else seems to be working just fine but in the last couple of days ~ now the calendars won't sync.
Entries that I've made in iCal sync alright to my iPhone but not the other way around.....
Anyone out there got any suggestions???

First make sure you are entering the events on your phone to your Mac calendar and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone. If you are, and they still won't sync, try resetting the SyncServices folder on your mac, as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, then try syncing your calendar again. (If you are prompted when syncing your calendar, choose Merge.)

Can't get iphone calendar entries to appear in ical

I can't get iphone calendar entries to appear in ical. Also, my iphone has hung up on sycning calendars several times. Even the couple of times it has gone through it, nothing I enter on the iPhone goes into ical.
Imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
iPhone * Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Mine also seems to be syncing iCal info o.k. from my phone. Tried it again today with several calendar entries and all showed up perfectly in iCal.
I have also been using the calendarcreator service for a while on my MBP and this shows up on the info pane for my iPhone and allows me to select it to sync with. I believe this is how my iPhone info is getting into iCal but I will confirm this again tonight.

IPhone Calendar entries not showing up in Google

I thought with the latest "sync" service that I would see my iPhone calendar entries in Google. I have several entries on my iPhone that don't appear there. Is there something I can do to fix that? Is it possible? What could I be doing wrong?

If you configured Google using ActiveSync, then are the events that are not syncing ones you create before or after setting up the pairing? I am trying to determine whether the sync is working at all. I had some older events that did not want to sync over when I first setup my account. Particularly some recurring appointments.
Will a new event you create on the iPhone sync to Google?

IPhone Calendar data nit synching with MobileMe

Since installing Snow Leopard my iPhone Calendar is not syncing with MobileMe. Contacts, bookmarks, and email all synch fine but not my calendar entries. This means the data is missing on my MPB and Power G5. Anyone else experienced this? Any solutions or do we have to wait for Apple to do something?

Garv1e,
Go to MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."

IPhone calendar entries disappeared from the iPhone when I moved to iCloud on my iMac...

I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud on my iMac, which runs Lion. I have an iPhone 3G (not 3GS), so I can't upgrade to iOS5. I know that my iPhone Calendar won't sync with iCloud; however, all the calendar entries iPhone calendar entries have disappeared. I thought that all entries made up to the time of moving to iCloud are supposed to remain on the iPhone calendar, and subsequent to moving to iCloud, I'd have to make calendar entries in iPhone manually (with not sync with iCloud possible).
What happend to all my calendar en

Thanks Winston, after I posted the question I went into iTunes to sync and update the iPad and it came to me that I should be able to change the credit card info here.. and I could. I realize I cannot use the iCloud on my iMac, but right now I cannot purchase and new computer and the current one is too old to handle the memory requirements of Lion. Again, thanks for your help.

I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -

No, never had the problem.

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!

Putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac

putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac. It did when I first bought iPhone, how can I sync automatically?

Could be a bunch of reasons. Do you have icloud setup on both devices? Can you give us more details of your setup? Make sure you have the calendar set to sync in the icloud system settings. Also make sure you are set to sync said calendar. I was checking my settings and realized that you may or may not be using icloud for calendaring. On your phone in settings/mail, contacts, calendars/ you have the ability to select what and which calendars you want to sync. Make sure it is configured appropriately.
