IPhone will not sync to ical on my macbook.

Hi I hope you can help,
When i add an event in my iphones calendar the event is not added to ical on my macbook (sync works in the other direction though). I do not have a mobile me account (i just sync via itunes) and have tried resetting sync history. Do i need mobile me or should i be able to do this without it?
Thanks for the help.

Slight update. I just noticed that on my iphone i have two calendars i have a "from my mac" calendar and an exchange one associated with my work email adress. This is perhaps what is causing me to have problems updating my mac ical? If so is there a way of merging the two calendars maybe?

  • My ical on iphone will not sync with ical on macbook

    I have iphone 4s and Macbook Pro (OS X Lion; version 10.7.5)
    I have my iCloud all set up on both my iphone and my macbook.  I am trying to sync my calendar to when I enter in a new appointment on my iphone calendar, it will also add to my macbook calendar.
    I have checked for all system updates on both machines, rebooted everything, and nothing seems to work.
    My ical on my macbook will sync to my phone, but I can't get it to sync the other way.
    Any help or advice?
    Greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • IPhone will not sync with iCal

    I'm having problems whereby events created on my iPhone is not syncing with my iCal. (Entry does not show up on iCal after sync)

    archonium,
    did you check the sync iCal option in the iTunes (iPhone) sync tab?
    If you did and that doesn't work. Try this....
    1) Open Disk Utilities on your mac and run 'Repair Disk Permissions' on your hard drive
    2) Restart your mac.
    3) try again. If it still doesn't work, try resettin the iPhone. Try again.
    4) If the above doesn't work. Try RESTORING your iPhone via iTunes. That may work.
    hope one of these work
    good luck!

  • My new (replacement) iPhone will not sync with iTunes on my Macbook.

    My old (two weeks old, replacement of an old broken one) iPhone sync'd just fine, but kept going off. The new one will not sync at all, nor will it save my email passwords. Any clues?

    Did you try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data?

  • HT1535 my iphone will not sync to ical. If I make changes to my ical it will update to my iphone, but not vice versa.

    I have had my iphone for several years and I have always been able to plug in my phone to my desktop (mac) and it would sync to itunes.  As of today that will not work anymore. If I make a change in iCal then it will sync onto my iphone, but that doesn't work for me, because I make changes to my iphone and sync it to my computer.  I have gone and read numerous notes online about how to fix this, but feeling pretty frustrated right now. HELP!!

    If you have the MacBook and OS X versions described above, at best you can just marginally host the latest iTunes (11.0.2).  Please check this iTunes Tech Spec and make sure you're able to host it.

  • Hi All: My iPhone will not sync with iCal.

    This is a direct USB connection, no MobileMe involved. There is no error message; the Mac apparently just does not "see" events on the iPhone. I've changed the synching prefs from "Sync all calendars," to "Sync selected calendars" (and checking all of my calendars), back to "Sync all calendars"--and the iPhone info simply does not show on the desktop Calendar.
    I added this question to the John Maisey thread, but got no responses. Any ideas?
    System info:
    Mac OS 10.6.7
    iTunes 10
    iOS 4.3.3
    Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

    Hi,
    I suggest you reset your sync history, then sync through iTunes again. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Post back if that does not work.
    Best wishes

  • IPhone will not sync with iTunes on my MacBook.

    I run the update from the apple.com, and two thirds of the way through, there is an error with the phone. I think it is because two of our phones were synced. How do I get my computer to recognize a different phone? Thanks for your help!

    What update? iTunes? IOS?

  • IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

    Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
    Restarting iPhone
    Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
    Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
    This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
    I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
    I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

  • Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

    My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
    so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
    anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
    problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
    related problem?
    thank
    Hein

    I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
    Below that is:
    "From My Mac.
    "All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
    This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
    Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
    Hope this helps you.

  • My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • My Iphone will not sync with my itunes after I had to change my user and pass on my pc.  How can I fix this problem?

    I had to reset my username and password on my computer because I must have hit a wrong key when changing password.  Anyway I made a new admin user on my pc and now my iphone will not sync all the way with my itunes.  I flashes a message on the screen saying "you do not have the proper privileges" and stops the sync.  All of my contacts are gone and all of my google calander is wiped clean.  I just want my Iphone to sync now so that I can add contacts again.  What can I do?  Thank you for your time.

    bogdan0,
    Tried that but did not work.  Thank you for the reply.  However, I did find the correct thing to do though so wanted to share.
    Since on my computer I had to create a new admin account,  I had to go into the shortcut properties of Itunes.  Then hit Compatibility Tab.  Had to check Run as Admin.  
    After hitting Change settings for all users it worked just fine.

  • HT1386 iphone will not sync with itunes the apple sign just keeps popping up

    iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything

    I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

  • My iPhone will not sync to my iTunes

    OK, my iphone will not sync with my itunes. My phone is updated to iOS 7.0.4  and my itunes is updated to the 11.1.3 or whatever it is. I had over 1000 songs on my phone. When I hooked it up to sync some more music it deleted over 400 songs that I did not delete. They just disappeared when I hooked it up. How can  I get my music back and have it sync  to my laptop?

    I  just played all of my music couple hours ago and now its only down to 500 songs!!!
