IPhone/MobileMe calendars sync mess

I have the same calendar that is supposed to sync my two computers and iPhone with MobileMe calendar. What happens is that when I make changes to the calendar on my iPhone it does not affect MobileMe. How do I make iPhone calendar sync with MobileMe? Thanks.

On the iPhone got to:
Setting-> Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Under Accounts choose your MobileMe account.
Make sure the slider for Syncing Calendars is switched on.
If it is then it's the settings on the computer(s). Make sure you are logged into the MobileMe "Dashboard". Windows (under Control Panel). Mac would be System Preferences and MobileMe (make sure to check the Calendar sync).
Let me know if this helps.

Outlook/iPhone Multiple calendar sync

Hi
I have a work calendar in Outlook, driven from Exchange and a second personal calendar containing things that don't apply to work (birthdays, social events and so on). While both calendars appear in Outlook, I can't get the personal calendar to sync with the iPhone at all. In iTunes, the Exchange calendar appears but not the personal calendar.
How do I sync with the iPhone (its my first iPhone - a 3GS so I think I'm running the latest OS etc) so I get both calendars on view?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Mike

I have both a .mac account and an outlook account. My .mac acct is used for my personal entries and syncs with my iphone as well as my mac computers at home. My outlook calendar syncs my work items from my pc at work to my iphone. My problem is everything syncs to my iphone, but outlook won't sync to my .mac and .mac won't sync to outlook. This causes me to have multiple entries on my phone because I will enter something on my .mac calendar, but, because it doesn't show up on outlook, I then add it to my outlook calendar and then i have the same entry entered twice on my iphone. What a pain in the butt. Is there an end run around this?

IPhone 3Gs calendar sync

Having a problem with my phone that has the Apple tech asking me to "restart" my phone as new. He warns I will lose any non-backed up information (contacts, pictures, calendars etc.). I have synced with iTunes and have stored my contacts and pictures on my Windows pc.
Question is my calendar. I use only the calendar on the iPhone and don't sync with any other application (no Outlook, Google). Has iTunes saved my calendar info? When I sync after restarting my phone, will my calendar be restored? If not what steps should I take prior to restarting?

Can someone please help me?!?! I tired deleting my calendars once again off my iPhone and re-synce with my Mac and now none of the calendars from my mac will sync to my phone.

IPad Air 2/iPhone 6 Calendar Sync

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone can help; I have an iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6. My calendars don't seem to sync both ways. When I add events on my iPad, I can see them on my phone plus events I've added using my phone . However, on my iPad i only see events that I added using the calendar app on my iPad.
I'm sure it's a setting someplace but I haven't figured it out yet. Any ideas?

Hello MidwestQT,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Problems with iPhone Entourage calendar sync

My iPhone and Entourage have been syncing fine, but recently every time I sync them, the iPhone calendar is wiped clean - no events, even thought they're all still in Entourage. Occasionally, if I reset sync history in iSync and turn off and then turn on sync settings in Entourage, it works. But I need to work out how to make it work every time. Any tips? PS contacts sync fine.

Do you know if your solution will also work to eliminate duplicate Entourage calendars in Itunes and on the Iphone? Every time a change is made in Entourage Preferences Sync Services, a new Entourage calendar is added in Itunes, Ical and, consequently, on the Iphone, after a sync is performed. All but one of the Entourage calendars is empty and serve no purpose just being listed. I initially tried deleting the calendars in ICal and ended up wiping my Entourage calendar clean. Fortunately, I'm transitioning from a Palm T/X and have all my data up to date there, so I was able to restore my Entourage calendar. I only have 1 Entourage calendar showing in Entourage, but now have 4 Entourage calendars showing up in Ical, Itunes and on my phone. I'd LOVE to get rid of the empty ones!
Thanks in advance,
Phyl

Restoring lost calendar using TM with new MobileMe calendar sync enabled

I have several Macs set to sync my calendars using the new MobileMe calendar.
I accidentally deleted an entire calendar, and it has now been deleted from all computers as well as MobileMe.
I have a Time Machine backup of one of the computers.
Can I simply restore ~/Library/Calendars from the TM backup and have everything sync through MobileMe properly again?
I know the procedure for backing up calendars has changed for people using the new MM calendar, and am afraid that change may also break the old TM restore procedure for iCal...

BusyMac has all the info you need about this and it isn't great news.

MobileMe calendar sync consistently failing to keep things in sync

Hello,
I've been noticing for quite a while that in my setup, mobileme sync keeps failing to keep contacts in sync.
My setup is quite basic: 1 iphone, 1 mobileme account, 1 macbook pro.
The iphone is set to push contacts, calendars, and bookmarks.
The mac is set to sync automatically the changes.
Whenever I modify a contact card in my iphone, after a few days I notice the data has been reverted back to the original data. For example, I add a phone number to X contact. After a few days, the number has disappeared. Beejive uses the contacts to store the IM id of each contact: however contacts consistently lose this added data after a while.
I cannot tell exactly how long it takes, because I don't look for it, I jsut notice after a while.
I first noticed this almost 1 year ago when I bought my iphone 3g.. I was all happy taking pictures of my co workers to store in their contact cards.. after a few weeks I found a few of them who I was absolutely sure I had taken pictures of, but their contact cards were empty.
A few months ago I upgraded to a family pack, and just to be sure I created a new mobileme account and changed to that account at my mac and iphone.. but the problem keeps happening.
Any ideas? Am I the only one having this kind of paranormal mobileme sync?

Same here. We have two iphones (his and hers) which we sync to the desktops and with each other using MobileMe. Just this week we noticed it: every time my wife enters an event from her iphone it creates a new calendar that shows up in Mobile Me and on my iphone and contains not only the new entry but assorted other entries (not very many) that were formerly displayed in the default calendar. Oddly, while MobileMe and my iphone both show two calendars, my wife's iphone only shows one calendar that has ALL the entires on it. Very strange. Apple must have made some change recently that causes this. Hope they fix it soon.

IPhone / MobileME calendar push

I'm using MobileME on a trial basis - so far i like it alright. i have a Yahoo! and Gmail email accounts both forwarding to my new "me.com" account. in mobileME, i can make a calendar entry on my laptop and my iMac at home and everything pushes up to the 'cloud'. but when i make a calendar entry on my iPhone, it does not automatically push the info out. my iPhone settings for mail/calendar/contacts are as follows:
fetch new data > PUSH (ON)
wondering what the problem is.
only complaint about mobileME is that there is no SPAM control.

You know, it sort of resolved itself.
I changed it from 1 Month to All Events, let it sit for a while, and then switched it back. That seemed to refresh iPhone's memory of what it had and had not synced, because now the push changes are working perfectly between iPhone and MobileMe for all calendars.
(Alternately, it could have been fixed by Invisible iPhone Gnomes. Whichever one sounds better.)

Help. iPhone 5, calendar sync issues using Outlook. Doesn't work. Does any kind soul have a solution

At my wits end. iPhone 5, OS 7.1.1, using Outlook as mail, contacts and calendar but unable to find a solution to sync everything. I have my own domain and use a small ISP. It's not an Exchange server account. I've trawled countless forums but to no avail. Can anyone help? Steve.

Mavericks doesn't sync contacts or calendar via iTunes anymore. Apple removed 'sync services' so Outlook doesn't have the sync engine to move data between iOS & the Mac. It will still work on iTunes 11 on earlier OS X's.
On 10.9 you can either use iCloud, setup your own contacts & calendar server (OS X server, Biakal, Owncloud & many others) or you can find another online service to use to sync data, like Google apps.
There is a 200 page thread on the issue…
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5460803?start=0&tstart=0
There is also a user tip on how to setup Baikal…
Hosting your own CalDAV and CardDAV server using Baïkal Server
You should also look for apps that may help like SyncMate http://www.eltima.com or maybe missing sync? http://www.markspace.com/

Iphone 3G - Calendar sync issue via Microsoft Exchange

I have my iphone sync fine with mail and contacts via Microsoft Exchange with my work PC outlook, but can not get the calendar to sync. I upgraded to Microsoft 2007 and it sync once (possibly after accepting a meeting invite), but then no updates. I have turned calendars off and on and lost all entries. I do get meeting invites though, but they too disappear.
Any ideas?

Onicabbit has nailed this one. It has to do with appointments not having an end or start date or having a length of 0 minutes. Track those in outlook (use the category view and make sure you have no filter on which could obscure a few nasty ones), fix the dates and duration (open the meeting or event and add or change one of the dates) and the sync should work.

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.

IPhone 5 calendar sync

My iPhone 5 does provide the option to sync my calendar. Is there a way to fix this?

This is covered in the User's Guide... try reading it.

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.

Can't update iPhone 6 calendar

I'm completely mystified by my iPhone 6 calendar syncing behavior. I've read all the posts I could find on calendar syncing and most don't apply.
Before iPhone 6/IOS8, I could put entires on my iCal calendar on my Mac (including iCal entries dragged and dropped from my work Outlook calendar) and they would show up on my iPhone when I synced. Importantly, if I deleted an entry from iCal because an event was canceled, it would be removed from my iPhone. No longer.
Now I cannot get the iPhone calendar to update from iCal on the Mac. (I am not using iCloud for my calendars.) Even when I have changed the default calendar on the iPhone. I have experimented with different calendar choices in iTunes. I have checked the "Advanced" button to replace all the iPhone calendar data with what is on the Mac. Nothing works.
I cannot delete incorrect calendar entries on the iPhone. There is no "edit" or "delete" button. Despite what other posts have said, double tapping does no good. Swiping does no good. Quitting the calendar app does not good. Powering off the ipHone and restarting it does no good.
My iPhone calendar now only lets me make entries directly on the iPhone; I can't sync from anywhere.
My calendar is effectively useless now, as it is filled with entries for meetings that have been cancelled or rescheduled.

I suggest you reconsider your decision not to use an iCloud calendar. It sounds like doing so will introduce the features you are looking for.

Sync iCal - iPhone - Exchange 2007 broken after MobileMe Calendar upgrade

I need to keep contacts and calendars in sync between my work pc (XP, Outlook 2003, Exchange Server 2010), my home Mac (10.6.6) and my iPhone (3GS, iOS 4.3). Until recently, that worked fine by the following (roundabout) way: PC syncs with Plaxo online via Outlook add-in; Plaxo syncs with Mac; Mac syncs with MobileMe; MobileMe syncs with iPhone. However, the recent upgrade to new MobileMe calendar breaks this workflow, at least for calendar syncing, because Plaxo cannot synchronise with the new CalDAV cloud-hosted calendars. Can anyone suggest another way of getting this to work?
I thought MobileMe for PC might be a solution, but while it can show MobileMe calendars in Outlook, it can't synchronize them (and it seems not to work with Windows XP). A while back, I tried using Google Calendar as the focal point, but found Google Calendar Sync for Windows created a lot of duplicate items, lost items and general mess.
PS The office network doesn't run Exchange ActiveSync and does not allow a vpn connection from Mac or iPhone.

Hi JWilson@ch,
So I thought I was the only person doing that crazy workflow to get everything synced. I do it exactly the same way.
I stupidly upgraded to the new MobileMe last year when first invited, and spent the next few days working out how to get it all back and working. I have been happily syncing everything the old way since then.
My major concern now is that I just received an email from MobileMe today saying I have to upgrade now as they have stopped syncing the old calendar! I haven't checked this yet (I will in a sec), but if I have to upgrade, that means I lose everything that has worked so well since MobileMe started.
My crappy work Blackberry is useless for mirroring my Outlook calendar, so syncing my work onto the much more user friendly iPhone had been a saviour. Now I have all of my work and personal appointments in the same place, and I never miss anything.
What to do now? Is there another way to get my PC calendar onto my iPhone, apart from the Exchange Activesync option which my office also doesn't support.
I'll hold out as long as I can...
Garry
