IPhone calendar sync question

What do I change so that when I sync, events entered on my iphone 3GS calendar sync to my computer calendar? Events entered on my computer sync to my phone, but NOT vice versa. I have "sync all calendars" checked off in itunes info screen.

Doing both does nothing but duplicate the calendars and calendar events on your iPhone. When doing both, each is synced and stored separately and differently on the iPhone. The calendars and calendar events synced direct with iCal via the iTunes sync process are stored separately and not synced over the air with your iPhone and vice-versa.

  • Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings to change

    Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings within Yahoo or within my iphone to alter editing options.
    How can I get access to edit and delete the Yahoo calendar from my iphone? I never schedule anything from the Yahoo webpage. All my appointments and reminders are scheduled from the iphone.

    My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S  for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error.  I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option.  I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
    I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
    Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

  • Calendar syncing question - iPhone & iPad

    I have an iPhone and an iPad...they both came with calendars that are adequate for my needs.  Why am I unable to sync them together???.

    Or sync them both to a Google calendar using a Gmail account. My iPad and iPhone calendars are synced this way.

  • IPhone Outlook Calendar syncing question

    Help!
    I've had my iPhone since December, and at one point, was able to sync my Outlook calendar to it perfectly.
    Now, I'm still able to sync the actual appointments. But any "notes" or details that I've added to those appointments (in the bottom section of the screen) don't transfer over to the iPhone.
    Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help you can offer!

    *iPhone calendar views are a joke!*
    My 90's Palm Vx had far more usable views via Pimlico Software. The gray scale display with poor resolution was able to show one or even two weeks with appointment texts.
    What does iPhone have? List view is the best there is. One sees all appointments with only just scrolling. Day view is terrible. The whole day should be visible without scrolling for it to be at least somewhat efficient. Now one has to first select a day with arrows and after that scroll thru the day and after that select another day and scroll again. No way. Month view is very poorly designed! The grid takes way too much space and who decided to put the appointment list in the bottom of the screen when one's index finger blocks it if sliding thru days in the grid!!! Oh man!!! Unlock the landscape view and please make the grid a little bit smaller and please place the appointment list on the left or at least on the right side. And make its font way smaller! No point in seeing two appoinments without scrolling.
    iPhone's wonderful screen would be able to show one or two weeks with written appointments in a list like manner especially landscape. I mean seven columns titled Mo-Su and all appointments listed in that day's column.
    Hopefully SDK will let someone else do it if Apple won't.
    And we have to get to copy appointments and paste them to other days also. I am spending 30 min writing the same info one at a time to our monthly plan. Everyone else is already having a cup of coffee.

  • Calender on iPhone 4 sync question

    I have a number of entries stored on the Calender app that comes on the iPhone. I was wondering, are the various calender entries backed up by iTunes everytime I sync the iPhone. If they are where on the PC are they stored (its just I like to backup important stuff like this, iTunes library etc, in case something goes wrong so that I then have a backup to fall back on).
    If the various calender entries I have are not backed up has part of the sync in iTunes. Is it possible to have these backed up by some other method.
    Thanks in advance

    two things in response to syncing your iPhone:
    The first and to answer your question... when you go to sync (can't recall the exact verbiage), but you'll be asked if you want to back up your iPhone at some point prior to your sych... may be one of the radio dial circles in the box where your asked about encrypting your backups(?)... regardless, when you sync a backup of your iPhone occurs, prior to your sync, or visa versa. Should you ever need to do a Restore on your phone, a drop down window is available to you to select which backup you want to use... you make your selection based on the dates shown and go for it. (use caution if you fear having some form of bug on your iPhone since the backup will only bring the bug back over to you. In that case you should do a restore to a New Phone status.
    Next, should you be syncing to a Mac computer... i've found that even tho I have requested (chk'd) a Calendar sync, it doesn't always sync the iPhone and iCal calendars... whereas I have to open iCal on my MacBook Pro, then go only to the Info Tab in iTunes and select Sync for Calendars, etc. Then hit the "Sync" key. IT was like that for the past few iP3G updates the past 2-yrs and not unique to iP4 which I have

  • Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

    Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
    I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
    As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
    So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
    I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
    What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
    If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
    Hope that helps.

    Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
    I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
    Cheers

  • Outlook/ IPhone calendar syncing issue - adding one hr to EST.

    Is there a fix for syncing Outlook 2003 calendar and the IPhone 4s? It continues to add 1 hour to the phone calendar - I have synced it both ways with the Time Zone Support on and off still no change...this is getting frustrating...any help?

    I am having this problem also. It happens with re-occuring events. The Outlook calendar is correct but the iPhone calendar is changing the events by one hour. I have tried the fixes suggested elswehere regarding changing / setting the timezones but as the OP stated this is not fixing the problem.
    Apple please address this.

  • Issue with iPhone Calendar sync

    My office uses MS Exchange account (Outlook) for emails & calendar. I use Google Calendar Sync app to sync my outlook calendar events to my personal gmail calendar (1-way sync: Outlook to Google). Everything was fine until I bought the iPhone 4S. Apparently, when I open any event on the iPhone Calendar app, it automatically Accepts the invitation and sends a Accept notification to the meeting organizer & my personal gmail address is being added into the Attendees list of the organizer. So when I open any appointment on my iPhone to even read it, it sends a notification from my personal account to an office colleague or worse, to a business customer. Is there a way for iPhone to stop accepting or declining meetings & simply show my calendar items whatever status they are in. As I sync regularly, I want my iPhone calendar to display the exact information which is in my Outlook calendar and do nothing else.

    This sounds just like the problem I am having since downloading the latest version of i-Tunes. Initially i-tunes wasn't recognised so after reinstalling i-Tunes and it's 5 other associated programmes I found that there was a cmpatability isuue (Right click i-tunes icon and go to compatability tag) Once this was sorted my Outlook calendar would not sync with my i-phone. 2 weeks later I am told it is because I have Outlook 2002 and need to upgrade. Frustrating as it worked ok before the latest upgrade.

  • Why doesn't my iPhone calendar sync with my Mac-neither ICloud or USB connections work.

    My iPhone calendar will not sync with my MacPro either by iCloud or USB connection.

    Let's compare the settings on the Mac, I'm also using iCal on my MacBook Pro OSX10.9.5.
    iCal/Settings/Accounts -> iCloud CalDAV selected and activated, set to "push"
    On the phone:
    Settings/Mail, contacts, calendars: Syncing all events in calendar.
    And in calendar app "iCloud"->"All calendars" selected.
    I have no calendars selected in "On my iPhone"
    Are you also syncing contacts via iCloud? If yes, does it work between the Mac and iPhone?

  • IPhone calendar sync issues with Outlook

    I have a problem with syncing my iPhone calendar with my Outlook 2003 calendar.
    For example, let's say I had a 12pm appointment today displaying both in my outlook and iPhone. However, when I sync my iPhone after the event e.g. at 3pm, the appointment entry in the Outlook is removed, whilst the appointment entry on my phone remains. I did not edit either of the appointment entries. Even if I re-sync my phone, the 12pm appointment still remains in my phone whilst it's missing in my Outlook.
    Are there others encountering the same problem as well? Any ways to fix this problem? Thanks

    I've talked to them. Very helpful, but no solution. The iPhone Specialist I spoke to had not heard of the problem before. At one point he put me on hold and came back to say that he had checked with some people and they had heard of this "emerging" problem but had no answers. He admitted that all problems are "emerging" problems, given that the product has been out for only 2 weeks. We tried a variety of things with no success. I had to tell him about the manual workaround - going into each appointment, setting it to recur, etc. This does make it reappear, but isn't practical for those of us with tons of appointments. I'm not shocked that they don't want to acknowledge this, given that calendar synching is so important to their targeted business customer base. It's hard to believe that they could have screwed up something that every other manufacturer seems to be able to do well and that is at the same time so critical to business users.

  • HT4528 iphone calendar sync help

    I have many google calendars and all show up in my calender setting (iphone). I've chosen my primary calender with the radio button but in my "notification" screen multiple calendars show up??? how do i fix this?

    I had just the opposite problem, that is, entries into Outlook calendar would not go to iCloud. I found the following solution:
    Make sure that you are NOT running Outlook as Administrator (right click Outlook->Properties->uncheck "Run as Administrator". For some reason calendar sync (Outlook <-> iCloud) does not work if you run Outlook as administrator.
    I don't know if this will fix your problem, but it's worth looking at. Let me know if it helps.

  • HT1386 iPhone calendar sync probs

    I can not sync my iPhone 4 with iCal on my laptop. Entries made in iCal will transfer to the iPhone  but entries made on my iPhone calendar do not appear in iCal? I am using iTune 10.6.1 and running OS 5.1 on the phone.

    That's because it's no longer done through iTunes. But rather your email client. You'll have to sign into both your iMac and iPhone.
    On the iMac... System Preferences---> Internet Options---> (your email client)---> Make sure that the Calendar box is checked.
    On the iPhone. Settings---> Mail, Contacts, Calendars---> (your email client)---> Make sure that the Calendar ticker is turned on.

  • IPhone calendar sync two hours off from iCal - Can I fix?

    I purchased an iPhone 3G today, this is my second one. Since my last phone, I now have a new MacBook Pro with iCal.
    When I performed the Sync today, everything was fine except for the times in Calendar, which were two hours later on iPhone. The time zones were the problem, as the iPhone was set to Cupertino (Pacific) and the computer was set to Memphis (correct zone).
    Now, I have corrected the time zones on both and I have performed a new Sync and checked the box to replace information from the calendars on the iPhone with the information from iCal.
    However, the times are still off.
    1. Can I fix this issue?
    2. Can I delete the iPhone calendar entries as a whole and start over and re-Sync?
    Thanks for the help. It's a minor issue, but it's pretty annoying and I have tried everything I know to fix it.

    How bizarre. Mine is doing this too, except it's 3 hours off. I showed up to work 3 hours early because of this. Time zones are the same on my computer and my phone. I'm not sure what the deal is.

  • IPhone calendar sync w Windows 8 Outlook 2013

    I am using the Outlook 2013 calendar.  I want my iPhone to sync up with this Outlook 2013 client-(not cloud) based calendar, but during an iTunes sync, it seems to pick up the Win8 Calendar app instead.
    Any advice?  I'm at my wit's end.
    Thanks
    (and yes, I shoulda bought a Mac...)

    OK, my wonderful husband figured this out.   He tapped the iPhone calendar app, then the button called "calendars" in the upper lefthand corner, and got a screen that lists the calendars that should show. He clicked only on the "From My PC" calendar, and left the others unclicked.
    The root of my problem, IMHO, is that MS Win8 has a horrible calendar app that won't even sync with the MS Outlook Client calendar.  The Win8 cloud-based calendar app does a really sloppy job on timezones -  an event doesn't even have a visible "timezone" designation.  That's why I couldn't use it.
    On the other hand, what did expect buying Win8?

  • IPhone calendar sync not working after upgrade to 9.2(61)

    I updated my iTunes software and now the calendar on my iPhone won't sync properly.
    When I change an event on the iPhone and then sync, it doesn't update in the calendar on my computer and it changes the event back to where it was before I changed it.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Had same problem....Apple tech guided me through this procedure that worked fine...
    1) Sync your phone so that everything on your computer is as it should be.
    2) RESTORE phone to factory settings. This is a choice in iTunes under the Summary tab when you have your iPhone device selected.
    3) During this procedure you will be asked if you want to SET AS NEW PHONE. It is important to select YES to this option. This procedure takes some time...15-30 minutes
    4) Set up your options for syncing from iTunes under the Info tab. If you change any settings here and ALLOW it, syncing will automatically happen. Make sure your calendar is being synced.
    5) Check out the results...should be good.....I needed to sync a number of times to get everything back to normal.
    6) Since doing this, the calendar syncs as it should and did before the upgrade, alone with everything else I want to sync.
    Good Luck
