IPhone Calendar - merging two calendars and connecting with Google
I've spent all morning trying to sync my iPhone Calendar with Google Calendar. I've synced it with CalDav but in the process it seems to have created a new calendar on the iPhone and hasn't synced any of my original iPhone calendar entries onto Google. Can I merge the two calendars on iPhone?
Also I'm not sure how the two calendars communicate with each other. Do they just sync when I connect my phone to my computer or can I make them communicate whilst not connected? I'd rather they didn't connect permanently as I understand this drains the battery.
If you are having trouble syncing your iPhone 5s with Google calendars, here is a solution that worked for me. I do not use gmail, so following Googles instructions did not work.
Tap Settings on the Home Screen.
Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select Add Account.
Choose Other.
Tap Add CalDAV Account under Calendars.
Type "https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user" (substitute your email, and without the quotation marks).
For user name, enter the email address that you use to sign in to Google.
Enter your Google Calendar Password.
Enter "Google Calendar" in the description field.
Tap Next at the top.
If you get an SSL error, click Advanced and make sure SSL is On.

Merge two calendars onto one BlackBerry
I am trying to have the calendar on my BlackBerry 8830 merge the Outlook calendars from my work and home computers.
I want all three calendars to show the same information.
I have tried both two-way and one-way synchronization but no luck.
Any ideas on how to do this?Have you considered using a third calendar as the intermediary?
What I've done in the past was to use Google's or Yahoo's calendar to store both.
For example:
From work, I'd sync Google with my work calendar
From home, I'd sync Google with my home calendar
This way, when you sync with Google from home, it has all your work stuff, and vice versa.
Does your phone/PDA have a calendar sync program?

yesterday i plugged my new Iphone in to my laptop and connected it up with Itunes. Itunes then deleted all my pictures off my new phone and reset my new phone with all the settings of my old phone! how do i get my pictures back????? Before you say Icloud they are not on there
Sorry you can't. Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?
No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-( -
My iphone 5 don't want to connect with itunes, what can I do... I have an itune reedem card with a balance $15.05 but I can buy anything
It seems as though you are describing two different things, unless you are trying to say that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store on through the phone. If that is correct, suggest you try and do a search, the question has been asked a great deal and answers can be found. Maybe even try and describe the error message you are seeing when trying to connect.

I cannot seem to get my iPhone 5S to make a bluetooth connection with my iMac (OSX 10.9.1). Phone claims that the iMac is not supported. Any suggestions?
The only connection supported to your iMac is Personal Hotspot to use the iPhone's cell connection to connect your iMac to the Internet. If that's what you're trying to do, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
Otherwise, as Raymond said, connecting your Mac and iPhone via Bluetooth is not supported.

Devices (iPad, iPhone) no longer can maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule
My iPad and iPhone can no longer maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule. Time capsule has connectivity to internet via Macbook, but not other devices. This started after upgrade of devices to s/w 6.0. Does anyone know if that could impact connectivity?
Yes, this is often reported with iOS 6.. there are definitely more wireless problems.
I recommend you reset the TC in the following ways.
1. Change all names to SMB type.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. that includes the TC itself, wireless and hard disk. I recommend a different name for 5ghz so you can force clients to that band without auto voodoo affecting it.
2. Use WPA2 Personal security only.. 8-12 character pure alphanumeric passkey.
3. Lock the wireless channels.. particularly for 2.4ghz.. pick one of the channels, out of 1, 6, 11 as these are the only ones that do not overlap.. test each in turn for the best and most stable. TC should pick the best itself but that is voodoo and I am preferring to run the system without black arts. -

I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck -

Even though there are over 200 photos on my ipad, after trying both methods of importing and connecting with a lead, a message appears saying that there are no photos on this device. Any ideas?
Did you connect your iPad to your computer then open the application on your computer that transfers photos from a camera? Your computer should recognize the iPad as a camera. All photos in the Camera Roll on the iPad should then be seen and you should be able to copy them to the computer using that application.
Photos that were synced to your iPad by connecting to your syncing computer cannot be copied back this way as the master file for those photos are on the syncing computer. -
