Iphone not syncing with MobileMe

Today, I noticed that my iphone (3G latest firmware) is no longer syncing contacts, calendars, bookmarks etc with MobileMe. I have tried everything, including hard reset of iphone, deleting and re-adding my mail, contact account in the iPhone settings. I've checked both my computers and they are both syncing OK to mobileme, and in find my iphone it shows my iphone is online and can find it...
I have for the time being had to revert to manual syncing on iTunes of my contacts, calendars etc.
I've exhausted all idea's for what the problem is or how to fix it, anyone out there got any idea's?

I too had issues with MM and my iPhone syncing.
MM won't sync/push to iCal / Address Book apps and won't sync to my iPhone 4 as well.
I don't know if this might help you guys but this is what I did and everything is peachy again.
1. Backup your iCal & Address Book (IMPORTANT)
2. Go to Settings > MobileMe > Sync (tab) > Advanced > select your computer and click on Stop Syncing Computer.
3. In Settings, proceed to Sharing > Change your computer Name to something else.
4. Restart your Mac.
5. Plug your iPhone to the dock.
6. In iTunes, do a restore to the latest firmware and have it set to its default factory settings.
7. Restore your phone. (I chose a backup a couple days ago from the drop down menu, when things were still working)
8. After the restore is done, on your iPhone, proceed to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > DELETE your MobileMe account and ENSURE that you delete off all its data.
9. Once done. On your Mac, proceed to Settings > MobileMe. Now sync your Mac with MobileMe. Choose to either Merge, Your Mac supersede MM or the other way around.
10. After that is done. On your iPhone, re-create your MobileMe account and select the services your want to sync.
It solved my problem. Hope it'll solve yours.
Its about 410a.m here and my apologies for any typos.

IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
Please help!!

Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
Does this help?

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?
Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
Please help !
Nick

Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
Any ideas welcome !!

Calendar on iPhone not syncing with calendar on computer or mobileme

I was just chatting with one of the mac support people and we were cut off. Lee had just made me do a manual sync of my calendar to have my computer calendar up to date (my Mobile Me calendar was the same as my computer one, so all was well there...).
How do I now get my iPhone to sync with my computer/mobile me? And vice versa?
This is very frustrating. I feel like it has to do with my iPhone upgrade, but I don't know for sure. All help is appreciated.

You need to delete the old me.com calendar account, and ensure that Calendar is switched on in the iCloud account settings on your iPhone.

ICal not syncing with MobileMe

I know there have been other posts on this, but I have tried them all and cannot figure this out. MobileMe is syncing with my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2) but it is not syncing with my MacBook under my current user profile. I created a new profile as a test and it synced with no issues. I have tired signing out and back into my MobileMe account, deleting the calendar cache, deleting the calendar folder, reinstalling ical, etc. I cannot figure this out and I am feeling my only option left is to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Any help on this?

For whatever reason, iCal has suddenly "come back to life for me." I did a backup and restore (did not by itself seem to solve the problem), then Reset Sync History, then rebooted my MBP, then Reset Sync History again, and then initiated a manual sync in the MobileMe control panel. Voila! iCal populated with the MobileMe data, and it appears that not only did iCal receive data, it also sent updates of its own on over to MM and thereby to my phone. We'll see if the reliability of the MM "ecosystem" under 10.5.5 gets, well, more reliable.

Deleting iPhone contacts & syncing with MobileMe

I had been syncing iphone contacts to a mobileme account and then wanted to instead sync them to another mobileme account (the main account in a family). This is a problem since you cannot delete all the contacts on the iPhone (I had 2000 of them.) and iPhone syncing with mobileme does not allow you to replace contacts on the iPhone with what is on mobileme. (iPhone allows only a merge which would duplicate contacts and add many I no longer wanted.) After considering the "solution" offered by a "Genuis" which was to reset the iPhone and start over which is a painful process to reorganize the apps and login all apps that require it, etc. Instead I developed the following procedure that worked great (This was with Mac OS 10.6.8 and IOS 4.3.5):
1) Sync address book on Mac to make sure mobileme is up to date.
2) Backup all the address book to an address book archive and/or select all contacts and save in a vcard file (File -> Export)
3) Uncheck sync of contacts in MobileMe (Apple -> System Preferences -> MobileMe -> Sync tab)
4) Select all contacts in Address Book and hit delete (Edit -> Select All, then hit delete)
5) Select all groups in Address Book and delete (select first group, hold shift and click last group, then hit delete)
6) Connect iPhone and sync. Go to info tab in iTunes and select Sync Address Book Contacts, then Under Advanced, check Replace Information on this iPhone - Contacts. This will transfer contacts (none) from Mac to iPhone which will delete all existing iPhone contacts. Click apply and then sync.
7) After sync, disconnect iPhone and verify there are no contacts on iPhone.
8) On iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Accounts -> MobileMe (login if you haven't done so), turn on Contacts (to sync with mobileme)
9) In a few minutes, the contacts on the iPhone (none) will be merged with the desired contacts in MobileMe and the contacts in MobileMe should show up in the iPhone Address book - This completes the iPhone.
10) On the Mac, go to Apple->System Preferences->Mobile Me->Sync tab and recheck Contacts. Click Advanced, Reset Sync Data, select only Contacts and transfer contacts from MobileMe cloud to the Mac, and click Replace.
11) In a few minutes, all contacts and groups from MobileMe should show up in the Mac Address book and you are done.

Yes I did select merge.
Did it 2 times without anything happening on iPhone or MobileMe.
Third time it deleted my contacts on the iPhone.
Is there no option to tell it which direction to do the merge/sync?

Calendar in Iphone not syncing with Mac or Mobile Me

All of my calendar entries on my IPhone are in a calendar that shows up under Untitled Account. It wont sync with either my Mac or Mobile Me and I have tried every setting I know how. This has happened since I updated to 3.0.
Any suggestions on how to move this to one of my existing accounts that do sync?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Kevin MacAfee

Kevin,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off the Calendar, when prompted delete data, wait two minutes turn Calendar back on, and when asked merge the data. Wait patiently, and hopefully you will be able to regain sync functions. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change
AFAIK, the merge function will incorporate calendars on your iPhone and MobileMe.
If you are not confident with that answer, be sure to try MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."
;~)

Address book not syncing with mobileme

I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15' and being new to Mac I'm stuck for sure. My mobile me account (which I have had for years) will not sync the Address book. I'm worried if I sync my iphone or ipad I will loose everything.
Please help- what am I doing wrong - all the settings seem to be right .

I wish I had an answer for you. Typically it works just fine, but I noticed today some of my contacts were not syncing with my MacMini nor my iPhone, but my iPad my web-version of MobileMe appear to be synched. I think there is a problem with the system.

Iphone not syncing with 64-bit Vista Ultimate

hello, i order a new iphone and can not sync with itunes. windows is detecting it is connected, but not with itunes. I try to see if it can connect with my laptop(windows XP Home 32-Bit) and it can, so it was not the phone that can't sync with itunes. i try everything from uninstalling to running MSCONFIG Mode and checking that apple mobile Device is working. Itunes is up to date and windows vista is as well.
Anyone else have this problem and may have a solution to it.
Computer spec
CPU: Intel Quad-Core Q6600
GPU: GeForce 8600 GTS
RAM: 4 GB of PC6800
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1 Update.

Hi,
You did not mention whether you tried creating a test admin user, that might be worth trying.
You could trying uninstalling iTunes completely and then download fresh copy and use the 'right-click' then 'run as admin' approach to installing itunes.
How to completely uninstall iTunes... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
You could try connecting the phone using forced recovery as described here... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797
You do meet the requirements...
Windows system requirements
* PC with USB 2.0 port
* Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate Edition; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
* iTunes 7.5 or later
Let me know if anything mentioned worked... Good Luck!

Calendar entries on iphone not syncing with outlook calendar

Items that I entered on my iphone calendar are not syncing with my outlook calendar on my office pc. Outlook entries are appearing on iphone calendar, however. Used to work, now doesn't. Recently updated iphone software. Could this be the problem?

i had same problem. everything worked fine backing up iphone to macbook pro and Ical until IOS 5 upgrade, then selective entries on Iphone wouldn't backup to Ical despite repeated attempts. I did what you did, turned off calander iCloud feature so it backs up only to MacBook and it seems to have solved problem.

IPhone calendar syncing with MobileMe not working

Could somebody help me figger out how to readjust the settings of syncing me iPhone with MobileMe and the latter with my iMac at home?
The thing that's not working as it should is this: when at home, in Belgium, changing/adding appointments in iphones calendar, the next day, when I was at work in Holland, where my 3G network is functioning(I switch off dataroaming because of the huge costs), I often see that appointments were put back to before the change I most recently made. This is frustrating, and cause for difficult planning/scheduling.
Anyone know how to tackle this? Would there be something wrong with the settings? I doubt the latter because, when I do the same thing as I mentioned above in Holland, things work fine.
Bug???
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Contact Groups not showing up on Iphone when syncing with Mobileme

My contacts show up in my address book on my Iphone but when I go to look at my groups the page is blank and I cannot get back to my contacts without closing and reopening contacts but still no groups. I want my groups to show up. I have at least 4 groups that show up on my me, and syncs fine with ipad....
I THINK THIS IS A ISSUE with the new verizon iphone.
Please help if anyone has

I am having a similar issue. As is my wife. I also believe that it is a bug in the current iOS on the CDMA iPhone 4.
It is just as you described, and I have to close Contacts completely in order to restore my access to the contacts list. And, like you, our groups show up just fine on our iPads (within minutes of making changes, as we sync over MobileMe).
It doesn't appear to be a letter-case issue, as at least my login is in all lowercase letters.
I sure hope that this is fixed in an iOS update soon! It's rather problematic for those of use who use their iPhones for business purposes.

ICal on iPhone not syncing with Mac.

Does anyone know how I can get iCal on my iPhone 4s to sync with my computer? All my contacts and emails (thru yahoo) sync up just fine, but I can't get the calendars to sync. I do not have MobileMe or iCloud, but do I have to have them to do this? I wanted to use Apple's iCal, but maybe I should just use Yahoo's calendar feature instead? Any advice/help in this would be greatly appreciated.

My phone is doing the same thing. When I delete events on my mac, they are still present on the iphone after a sync. I have restored my phone, both from back up, and as a new iphone. This is very frustrating.

IPhone not syncing with iTunes when plugged in

For the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, the iPhone is supposed to automatically sync with iTunes over Wi-Fi when plugged into a power source. This is not working for me. The iTunes is connected to my phone over Wi-Fi, and the Settings are all approiate. However, the iPhone will not sync automatically; I need to manually start the sync from either iTunes or my iPhone. It's not working automatically. Does anyone know of a fix? I have a black iPhone 4S 16GB on Verizon.

In iTunes,go to Help > Diagnostics.
Run tests
If the issue is device not found go to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
I ran through process to update drivers now phone is charging and recognised by my computer.
Also if need be go to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
