IPhone synchronisation with iCal

I could not find the same problem I have in the list , but maybe I'm wrong. Appologise for that.
My question seems very simple: I make appointments in my iPhone 3G and after coming home I want tot synchronise. After the synchronisation the appointments are disappeared from the Phone and not in iCal....
With one appointment one still remembers, but with more, yoy can forget one...
Jan (Holland)

I just did my first sync with my 3gs and lost all my appointments!
Spent 2 hrs on phone being shunted between Mobile Me chat (waste of time) and iphone support. No one could assist me. I am desperate to retrieve my appts- I am a personal trainer and all my info was in my phone.
any advice, suggestions, etc would be appreciated.
I did check my Mobile Me settings prior to syncing.
Please help!
thanks,
Jill

Synch iPhone calendar with ical?

I have a problem synching a Calendar on iPhone with iCal on Mac (Lion 10.7.5) - no matter how many times I perform the Synch in iTunes, the Calendar in my iPhone does not appear in the iCal on my Mac
I recently tried using iCloud with my Calandars but it was a disaster experience as it took two days to synch the calendars with no good result, so I have abandoned iCloud. Synching my iPhone calendars with iCal has been a problem ever since
Any ideas?

It appears (per the current iPhone user manual) that one has to "share" events from one's iPhone iCal to one's iCloud iCal, event by event. Do this by selecting the event you want to "share," selecting "Edit," then scroll down to "Calendars," select that and then select the calendar to which you wish to TRANSFER the event.
You may also simply select "Calendar" when viewing the event and TRANSFER it to another calendar via that quicker route.
PS: I have not yet figured out how to enter a new event directly into my iCloud iCal via my iPhone without entering it on my iPhone iCal before I then TRANSFER it.

I don't think you can force the iPhone to overwrite iCal (though you can do the reverse). I even looked through MobileMe to see if you can do it, and found nothing.
The only suggestion I have is if you have a backup of your Mac somewhere. If you use TimeMachine, you can get an older calendar out of User/Library/Calendar.
Another thought, and this may work only if you have MobileMe, is to go into your MobileMe preferences on your Mac, click on Sync, Advanced, and reset Sync Data. Choose MobileMe to overwrite your Mac.
These are my ideas. Hope they help.

Why won't iPhone sync with iCal?

Since downloading the most recent iPhone software update on Mon. 10/1/07, my iPhone won't sync with iCal on my MacBook. I get a "mingling data" error, and that's odd because the appointments that don't transfer to iPhone can be clearly listed in iCal. What happened with this latest update to create this?
Thanx!

Actually, my question is answered by myandrews response to Carl Jonsson's same problem dated Sep. 28, 2007.
Thanx,

How can I make my iPhone sync with iCal on my Mac and not with iCloud?

I live and travel in Africa and wi-fi is frequently a luxury. iCloud syncing between Mac and my iPhones (a 3GS & 4) is not possible but when I turn iClod off, it deletes the calendar on my Mac. In another forum it was suggested that you export your various calendars (personal, business etc) to the desktop, log out of iCloud and therefore have your iCal calendar deleted, re-boot to clear anything in the cache, import the calendars which are then on My Mac and sync. It worked all the way until the last bit. Syncing the iPhone is clunkingly slow and it only syncs one of my calendars which is the only one that appears in the info dialogue box in iTunes when the iPhone is connected. Can anyone help? iCloud is I am sure fine for those who have regular access to wi-fi but not me - I will be happy to go back to my time capsule which has done me well over the years.
Some advice please

Plug yr iPhone to your compu in the old fashioned way with cable.
Just to cover yourself...select the iPhone in Devices of left pane of iTunes window, then on main pane, select radio button Back up to Computer. Right click on the iPhone in devices, do a backup. It shld then be on your compu'.
Then, back in main windo, select Info 'tab' from top of the right pane, and tick the Sync iCal events.
I'm sure this will help.
If it all goes pear-shape, u have the backup to restore the pre-sync device.

Add Event on iPhone, Syncs with iCal, Then Disappears on both.

I've experienced this before and now it's just getting annoying. I use my iPhone a lot for it's calendar functionality. I add a ton of events through my iPhone, but occasionally, I do turn on my MacBook to look at my schedule using iCal. Doesn't happen everytime, but it does happen... where I sync the two apps and every item created within iCal is stored, but every item created on the iPhone deleted.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Folks,
I'm still having the problem. Here's the description again:
My iPhone is somehow synced with two computers -- an iMac and a Macbook Pro. I only want it synched with the iMac. Yet, every time I open iTunes on the Macbook, the iPhone appears. When I open iTunes on the iMac, the iPhone will also appear. But then during the synch process it begins to add back all the numerous apps I had turned off. This happens not matter whether I connect the iPhone via wifi or cable. If I turn off wifi synching in iTunes on the Macbook, when I open iTunes on the iMac, it is also turned off. It's as if they are the same program.
Point of comparison: I have an iPod Touch. It is synched only with the iMac. It does not appear in iTunes on the MacBook.
Another point of comparison: When I have my iPhone at work and open iTunes on my iMac in my office, the iPhone does not appear unless I connect it. It appears in iTunes, but it doesn't try to sync with my office machine. And there are no ill effects when I bring the phone home and connect it to my home iMac. But any time I open iTunes on the MacBook, the iPhone mounts. And when I connect it to my home iMac after that happens, it will install the removed apps if I have deleted them.
My question: Is there a way to un-link the iPhone from the iTunes on the MacBook? Is there a command I can type in Terminal? Anything that can take it back to never having seen the iPhone before? I've selected and deselected all the preferences in MacBook's iTunes. And all it does it change the same preferences on the iMac's iTunes when the phone is connected. I'm at my wit's end here.
This all began in February. I took my MacBook on the road and connected the iPhone to it to charge. I opened iTunes and I guess I must have somehow selected the command to synch the iPhone to the computer by mistake. (But I don't remember a warning window.)
Again, any ideas will be appreciated.

How to sync iPhone calendar with iCal on Mac?

When I migrated to iCloud, I lost all iCal data on my computer, but still have it on my iPhone. Any way to force iPhone calendar data onto my Mac? I have tried refreshing the calendar and turning the calendar on and off in my Mac's iCloud preferences.

Your profile indicates you are running Leopard v10.5.8.
You mac must be running Lion v10.7.2 in order to enable iCloud on your Mac. Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
If everything is up to date and you've tried turning off Calendars and turned it back on and that didn't work, go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

IPhone syncing with iCal

I'm trying to understand why Apple wouldn't have iPhone tasks. I'm on the verge of buying 2.0 but have been waiting to hear the Apple did indeed add tasks and cut/past, neither of which happened. If I ignore possible workarounds like using memos or calendar for tasks, both of which are woefully inadequate, am I correct in assuming that at the near future the ONLY way that I can sync tasks with both iPhone and my Mac is to use OmniVision (they are preparing their own sync tool) or Things (which may be still in beta)? Is there any other hope, other that waiting to see what else may come out of SDK offerings?

Iphone sync with Ical

Since the last OS update my iphone and ical do not sync.

I found this on another discusion where events were syncing but never showing up in ical. Curious to knowifit will work for any of these issues. Let me know please.
* Quit out of iCal if it's open
* Delete this file:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
(~ refers to your home directory.)
* Open iCal
* Wait about at least five minutes until after it finishes
"Upgrading Calendars"
Be sure to wait the full five minutes before moving on. If the events
still don't appear after five minutes, then Apple Sync Services needs
to be reset like this:
* Quit out of iCal if it's open
* Open iSync (in /Applications)
* Go to preferences
* Click Reset Sync History
* Try syncing again
* Open iCal and wait a few minutes

Iphone sync with ical is 1 hour off?

What did i do wrong? both systems show the roper date and time but my appointments are all 1 hour off in ical?

bruce1964,
Are your Mac, go to the Date & Time preferences. Is it set to set date and time automatically, and pulling time information from Apple Americas/U.S. Time?
Is the Time Zone correct?
Hope this helps,

My iPhone calendar was empty after lion upgrade. Why won't my iPhone sync with ical?

After upgrading my imac to Lion and my iphone4 to OS5, my calendars won't sync and my iphone calendar was totally empty. Why?

Are you certain that the computer does not see the iPhone? By default the iTunes Sidebar is off, so maybe turn Sidebar on and see if your iPhone is listed.
Other questions:
What OS was on your old computer and now the new one?
Did you copy over your "iTunes Library.itl" file from the external drive to the new computer?

IPhone and iCal sync via iTunes - calendars appear on IPhone not in iCal

Hi, i hope that someone out there may have encountered and resolved this.
Basically I am trying to sync my iPhone 3G with iCal using iTunes as the sync tool. I have partial success in that my iCal calendar entries can be found within my iPhone BUT the reverse is not true, my iPhone calendar is showing in iCal - I would expect to see within the calendar list something like "on my iPhone" (although never having done this before i may be completely wrong!).
I should add that my iPhone is a company phone synced to Outlook over the air, iTunes tells me this, but it doesn't tell me that i can't do a Sync with my iMac.
Any help welcomed.

This doesn't help you, but I just recently started having the same problem, I just upgraded my 3G to 4.0 in iTunes so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but nothing on my phones calendar will sync to iCal. Events in iCal sync to the computer just fine thought. I hope someone can help me figure this out!

Can I sync my iPhone calendar with exchange server AND ical on my mac ?

I have been happily using my iPhone synced with my Macbook over usb via iTunes.
I have contacts and iCal syncing. I have a number of 'calendars' set up in iCal which allow me to view separate aspects of home and work but they all exist within iCal. iPhone just treats these as colour coded appointments (different colour for each ical calendar)
I really like this set up.
However, I just changed jobs to a firm where they have a hosted outlook exchange set up and I need to use the exchange calendar for work appointments and showing my availability.
I have managed to setup my iPhone to work with the Exchange server for email as well as in apple Mail on my mac. This has all worked fine. However, I hesitated when iPhone asked if i wanted to sync my contacts and calendar. I said no as I was unsure if my private calendar/contacts would be uploaded to the public work area.
In fact it seems that this is the least of my worries:
As I have read on apple support for iPhone:
"Note that after configuring an Exchange ActiveSync account, all existing contact and calendar information on the iPhone or iPod touch is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer syncs contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your iPhone or iPod touch wirelessly with MobileMe services."
So I am really pleased that I didn't let it sync those and wipe out my personal data if that is really true.
But now I am unsure how best to enable myself to view and update the work calendar on exchange.
Also it would be nice to see work contacts on my iPhone.
Contacts
- although i have said no to sync contacts with Exchange in fact it looks like I can get contacts ok - when i send email from the Exchange account on the phone , it searches Exchange contacts on the server as i type in the TO box.
- also in Contacts on the iPhone I have a new group that has been created with the name of my Exchange account. The group appears to be blank when you go into it on the phone, but you can type in the search box and get contact details from the server just fine.
This seems workable for now for my purposes, although updating contacts is not going to be possible that way.
I'd like more info on that if poss but more importantly..
Calendar
- Unlike Contacts, no Calendar has been auto created for Exchange
- Unlike contacts, I can't see how I can view or search or create an appointment in my Exchange calendar on the iPhone
What is the best solution to this problem - I presume lots of people face the same dilemma. My initial research suggests that there are multiple ways round this but all of them look like workarounds with various disavantages.
Questions are
- Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
- Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
- What is the best work around for this?
At the moment I am seriously considering getting a separate iPhone for work and have that sync with Exchange fully although that seems a bit drastic and does not solve the problem of seeing work and home appointments on the same calendar.

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.
