Ipod to Ical syncing issues

My computer will perfectly synch any event I put into iCal to my iphone. The problem is, whatever event I have put only on my iphone it doesn't sync it to my iCal.I completely rebooted my iphone, still nothing.  Can someone please help me? I cannot seem to find a solution. 

Me too - it's hanging on "Syncing calendars with..." TiBook G4 w/10.4.11, 16G iPod touch, just updated to 2.0. Also, I had a lot of email messages on the iPod that it had pulled down independently (not through an "email sync" with the computer). All of these seem to have been lost on the update to 2.0.

  • IPod to iCal sync not working - FOLLOW UP

    2 things...first sorry for the length of this post, I'm not sure how to say all of this shorter. Second, this is a follow up post to my earlier question, possibly to help others as well.
    The problem I was having was that the iCal would sync events to the iPod, but not the other way around. After MANY restores/restarts, etc., it still wouldn't work. Off to the genius bar...tried many things, the last of which was connecting a store iPod to my Mac...still wouldn't sync. After I got home, I realized all the calendars from the store were now on my touch!
    Next day, back to genius, was there for 3 hours with no resolution...tried everything, deleted iCal calendars, completely uninstalled, reinstalled, and rebuilt iTunes library, etc., store calendars still on iPod... Tried a few more things from home that night, no luck.
    Back on Saturday for a replacement, which was given.
    Back at home, restored last known good iCal calendars from Time Maching (God love time machine!)
    Got home, store calendars not on this iPod, but the calendars themselves were in the list of possibles under "Info" tab in iTunes (don't know how else to say that.) Selected non-store calendars, and it synced only my stuff to the Touch, but still not from touch to iCal...
    Tried a test account, and it worked! OK, so what's the difference between test account and mine? .Mac... For some reason, I tried to turn off .Mac syncing as a test, and it worked fine (the iCal/iPod thing)...replaced all .Mac info with stuff from the computer, turned syncing back on...bad calendars, etc. back, and iPod to iCal sync gone!
    Long and short of it, I've killed my .Mac syncing and it works fine! The store calendars are no longer in the list on the "Info" tab, and everything else looks fine.
    *If you can't get your iPod to sync with iCal, try killing your .Mac syncing and resetting sync preferences via iSync* (Applications/iSync then Apple+, for preferences).
    I have no idea why this would have remained a problem since I replaced all .Mac info with stuff from my comp., but it was.
    If you have any ideas why, I'd love to hear them. Thanks to all who offered suggestions to repair it the first time...

    It was definitely worth a try, but it didn't work for my iPod touch.
    What did work however was deleting BIRTHDAYS from my iCal (in Preferences / General). It's not the first time that Birthdays have caused me grief (ever since 10.5, .Mac Sync regularly gets its knickers in a twist over them) so I now just create a manual diary entry of my mum's birthday! It's a small price to pay for getting iPod and iCal to synch finally.

  • Ipod 160G constant sync issues

    I need help. For oh the last 7 months or so I have been having constant, chronic syncing issues with my Ipod. I used to love this thing to death, now I want to beat it to death.
    At purely random times when I sync my Ipod I will get the infamous -50 error code. Which then freezes the sync process, which then wipes out my Ipod. I restore it, make a new playlist, and GUARANTEED somewhere in the first 5000 songs or so, it will hiccup during a sync, freeze the itunes, empty the freaking Ipod. Contrary to what I've read on here, it isn't always songs I've burned. It can be a podcast, a song I bought from Itunes, or one I burned from my CDs. It can happen a few days or a few weeks after I do the restore, rename, new playlist trick. I have 24000 songs and it's getting way beyond tedious trying to get to the letter E in my collection. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Yay, found the source for this problem which drove me nuts. Just had to copy the songs (which caused the issues) from the iTunes folder into an other. Was quite easy, just drag'n'drop the songs into that other folder and let iTunes find them.
    -> Problem solved, sync works as intended!

  • ICal Sync Issue

    I have a Macbook Pro running OS Leopard.  I have IPhone 4S and IPAD2, both running latest IOS 5.  Any event I enter in ICAL in my Macbook shows up in my IOS devices.  However, what's in the calendars in my IOS devices will not sync to my Macbook.  I tried a solution I found at http://askville.amazon.com/iphone-ical-sync/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=15018816 but this did not do anything.  Appreciate any help anyone can provide.

    I had the same issue. Resetting the sync history didn't fix it. I switched to syncing only a single, brand new calendar that wasn't published to an external server. This worked. . I then exported my main calendar and imported it to this new calendar. Everything still worked.
    I then added in all my other calendars. All of these are subscribed calendars (read only), and I had about 7 of them plus the iCal generated Birthdays calendar. This worked too.
    Finally, I switched iTunes to sync "All Calendars" and published the new main calendar I created in the first step to my home server. At this point things broke again...items created on the iPhone wouldn't sync. I removed "All Calendars" and manually selected every calendar in the list (so it's the same data now, but if I add a new calendar it won't automatically sync). This got things working again.
    I'm not sure if that would have done it the first time, but it has fixed things now.

  • ICal syncing issues

    Hi - can anyone help me....
    I have a Macbook Pro at home, an iMac at my office, and an iPhone in my pocket. I cannot, for the life of me, get the calendars to sync properly. On my laptop I have appointments that do not appear on my iPhone (very frustrating) and sometimes things that I add to my iCal on the iMac don't appear on either the iPhone or the Macbook. Also the reminders are a nightmare. Because I often leave both computers running all the time if a reminder appears on one of the machines it remains there until I am beside that machine to be able to either delay it or cancel it. Therefore this means that further reminders on other devices don't come up and sometimes I miss things I supposed to do.
    Two more questions (sorry):
    Is it possible to add postponement time options to the drop down that appears when a reminder comes up on the screen. The choices are somewhat limited, they go in nice stages up to two hours, then the next choice is one day! Sometimes I want a reminder in four or eight hours but to do that I need to just keep going in increments of two hours which occasionally leads to the problems referred to above.
    Secondly, when a reminder comes up in the iPhone whilst it is being used (i.e. on a call) you have a choice of either close or open appointment. Does close mean that it just closes it from what you are doing or does that mean that it cancels the ongoing reminder? Similarly when you click the other option there seems to be no obvious way postpone the reminder for another few hours.......??
    Sorry to be so long-winded

  • IPOD Nano : calendar/iCal sync issue

    Since the change made on MobileMe calendar, I can't sync my "old" iPODs nano calendar with iCal anymore. (I have a 2nd generation iPOD Nano and a 4th generation one)
    My guess is that the iCal datas are nomore on the Mac itself but somewhere in the MobileMe cloud and the iPOD nano can't find the datas anymore to update its calendar.
    Is there a way to solve this issue?
    Thanks a lot for any help or idea

    Nobody has any idea on the way to sync my "old" iPOD nano calendar with iCAL on my Mac running MacOS X 10.6.8?

  • IPod Touch Music Syncing Issue

    Using iTunes 10.7, I'm trying to add music to my 4G iPod touch running 6.1.2.  The files appear within the iPod sidebar Music tab, greyed out with the sync icon next to them but they never finish copying; they just stay grey and nothing happens.  I am able to select and delete them, and they remain after I unplug and plug back in, but the iPod never shows anything in Music.  When I add files manually, the sync icon replaces the sidebar eject icon, during which time it is able to create playlists in the sidebar, but then the sync ends immediately and the iTunes status bar never displays the copying process, just the Apple logo.  Same thing happens whether I add 1 file or 100 files.  Same thing happens whether I sync music automatically or manually (I have switched between the two methods several times).  I have tried adding new files and different file formats to my iTunes library; those ones don't work either.  I have also tried restoring from the iPod backup, and resetting the iPod entirely, but I still get the same result.  Additionally, I am able to manage Apps as usual.
    Anybody have any ideas?  As a last resort, I may try re-installing iTunes 10.7, but I would prefer to find a fix for this without upgrading iTunes to 11 or 12.

    I had already tried that and I got the same problem.  I did get the issue resolved, although I don't know the reason it was acting up.  What I did was upgrade iTunes to iTunes 11, update the iPod to 6.1.6, then downgrade back to iTunes 10.7

  • Does entourage 2008 solve all the new 10.6.3 ical syncing issues?

    I am keeping a running list of known issues with entourage and ical after the 'upgrade' from 10.4 to 10.6.3 OS.
    I have had two duplicated entourage ical calendars, time shift of events and now lastly, when i went to sync at 11pm last night, entourage calendar was wiped completely blank and will not sync.
    my threads i have found, only a partial list:

    If you sync ICal and Entourage 2004, you may notice that events that are transferred from Entourage 2004 to ICal have the wrong times. This is a known issue between Snow Leopard and Entourage.

    yesterday i noted the at had a duplicate ical calendar from entourage syncs. i posted this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2433438&tstart=0
    i spent all day on this matter backing up calendars, trying to reimport, sync etc. at 10:50 pm last night after taking on the task of eliminating and removing duplicates from my entourage/ical calendars i sync my work and my entourage calendar went blank. and as if this hour, 8 hours later, not data in the entourage calendar.
    OS 10.6.3 upgraded the combo patch too.
    entourage 2004 11.4.0 ver
    ical 4.0.2

    duplicate ical calendar was created wheni upgraded fro OS 10.4 to 10.6.3
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2433438&tstart=0

    So I run the 10.6.3 Combo updater and the problem is now gone. The password was added to the keychain correctly and I can access my Google calDav calendars.
    So the big question would be why the 10.6.3 update failed?

  • Iphone and ical syncing issues

    My iphone 3GS seems to be creating double all of the ical entries? I have recently updated to the new mobileme calendar but this was happening just before also.
    I enter ical events on both my mac book pro and my iphone. Ical does not double the events but the iphone does.
    Anyone else had this issue or know what could be causing it??
    Cheers.

    There's a whole "encyclopedia" in these forums about this problem. Suggest you search here for something like "iCal event duplication" and you should find a good bit of helpful information.
    That said, I had similar problems with my iPhone 3G and then my iPhone 4, and it basically came down to MobileMe issues. My best advice would be to look first to see whether or not the calendar on your MBP agrees with the one on MobileMe - I'm betting you'll find issues there for which the phone is just a display medium. It will probably be necessary for you to reset your sync data and clean out either the iCal data or the data in MM Calendar.

  • Ical syncing issues with iphone/imac after lion OS update.

    Hi All,
    I upgraded to lion and now have two issues with syncing my iphone and ipad to my imac.
    First issue is that calander entries created on the iphone/ipad do not appear in the imac calander after syncing.
    Second issue is that if I change an calander entry on my imac, the old entry and the new entry will show up on my iphone.  For example. I created an event and accidently clicked out of it before changing the name.  I then reopened that entry and changed the name and date. In my imac ical calender I only had one entry at the final date with the correct name.  When I synced my iphone and ipad however two events showed up on the iphone and ipad. The original "new event", and the event with the correct name and date.
    The same thing happened when I had the same event occuring for 5 days,  I manual copied the one event five times on the one day and then dragged them to the correct days in ical on my imac.  When I synced my iphone I had both the 5 entries on the one day, as well as the entries on the days I had dragged them to.
    In summary, now when I look at my calander in ical on my imac it looks great, but on my iphone it has all these extra entries. It is as though when it syncs it shows me all of my previous entries and changes, instead of the actual current calander.
    Any thoughts how I can get the imac and iphone icals to look the same?
    and in case you were wondering, I dont use Icloud.  I did set it up and turned it off after the duplicate entry problem that everyone has mentioned.  I dont have that duplicate entry issue anymore.
    Thanks
    Adrian

    From what your write, it is a little hard to tell, what exactly your problem is, though you may want to try the following, which helped me at time:
    step one:
    export all of your calendars one by one, including the one with entries giving you problems
    step two:
    erase all of your calendars and create a dummy character, check if syncing works with that one.
    reimport the previously exported calendars one by one, redoing the syncing routines.
    In the instances I had problems, I found that exporting and reimporting a calendar file usually did away with the problem
    Also, at least on my machines, turning on the birthday link to address book, created some problems, so you might want to try without that feature too.
    If you got everything working on one machine, another strategy can be to reinitiate syncing from that one, i.e. erase and reinstall the syncing process on the others. Just make sure you have an up to date back up of your entries.

  • Ical sync issue between Iphone and Ipad

    I seem to be having issues syncing events between my Iphone to my Ipad.  icloud is enabled on both and it appears that all the calendars are enabled for syncing.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

    I'm having this issue as well.  I have tried the add new account as was mentioned in other posts (going through the Advanced settings and changing the server location), but it appears that I would be duplicating accounts, and "that is not supported".  I also am having issues with alerts not going to me, but to my husband (who has a google.com email).  When I check the Address Book to see what the main contact card is, it shows my information, yet I am not receiving alerts and my email is not an option to select.  When I changed my Apple Id, he received the confirmation email (as did I).  What do I need to do to: 1) get alerts to come to me and not my husband and 2) sync my iCal with macbook, iPhone, and iPad?  Thanks!

  • ICal Syncing Issues: iCloud & iMac to iPhone Not Working

    I use iCal. I updated my iCal on my iMac and it updated to iCloud, but not my iPhone. When I open iCal on my iPhone, it cycles and cycles to update, but doesn't update. What can I do to get my iPhone iCal to sync?

    I have the same issue. I have 2 iPhones (4 and 5) and an MacBook. When I enter an event in the MacBook, the event doesn't appear on either iPhone and conversely when I enter and event in the iPhones, it doesn't appear in the MacBook (and all devices are connected to internet via WiFi). It all used to work fine until about June 20th. The events are all entered on iCloud-synchronized calendars. When I send invites to events to myself or others, these are not received. Mail synchronization works fine between devices. As a test, I'll set up a Google calendar and see if this problem is related to iCloud.

  • ICloud iCal sync Issue: Only iPad has correct nfo

    Of the four places (desktop, browser, iPhone, iPad) where my iCal is viewable I only have the proper info on the iPad.  I have toggled the iCal On/Off in the preferences pane of both MBP and iPhone to no good outcome. How do I get the iPad's correct info to populate across the other devices.  This annoying developement is recent and inexplicable, I have had no major system / software issues, all other aspects of iCloud are working properly.  I have most recent software on all iOS devices and 10.7.4 on the MBP.  Used to be there was a prompt asking how you wanted MobileMe to merge info... is it just me or was MobileMe more granular (like being able to reset sync history) and conceptually more understandable?  Anyway I'd greatly appreciate any leads, I've come up empty on this forum and the other mac forums.

    Fixed it. In case anybody else has this issue or simular. uncheck the calendar option in the icloud prefs, then check it back on. A little to simple.
