Is anyone able to get their Iphone to send events to sync with ical on a mac and the mobile me calendar?

I've tried everything in the support docs, reset my sync data, deleted my mobile me account on my iphone, manually "sync'd" from the preferences on my mac, but the mobile me calendar doesnt change and my iphone events do not show up on mobile me or my ical. I sure hope icloud doesnt suck as much as the current situation. my iphone used to sync and it just stopped and apple wants $29 to help.

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.

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

I have a Powerbook G4 running on OSx version 10.4.11. I would like to get an iphone, but non-seem to sync with my computer. Is there any options for me?

I have a Powerbook G4 running on OSX Version 10.4.11. I currently have an Iphone 3, but it cannot sync with my computer because it reverts back to a version so old that I can't even text photos. (I have itunes 9) I would like to get a new phone because mine constantly freezes up, but I figure what's the point of getting an iphone if it won't sync with my laptop. I can't even listen to music on my iphone! Is it possible to get an Iphone 4s to sync with a G4 Powerbook?

Hello,
Sadly not as an iPhone 4 running iOS 6 or above needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher to sync in iTunes.
Mac OS X 10.6 is not compatible with an PowerBook

Getting iCal to sync with iCloud for two Macs, and a 3G iPhone

I currently have a Macbook and MacMini both running 10.7.2, and just started using iCloud this week to sync contacts, iCal, bookmarks, etc. I thought I initially had problems with iCal as I was getting two copies of every event showing up on my MacBook, but then realized I had two sets of calanders, ("on my mac" and "iCloud"). After I unchecked the "on my mac" calanders, everything appeared normal.
The problem I face now is with my 3G iPhone that can't run iOS5, and thus, no iCloud. My iCal on my iPhone is set to sync with my "on my mac" calanders, so with those unselected, the events are not showing up on my Macbook, and thus, aren't being synced to my MacMini.
My question is, can I have my 3G iPhone sync to my iCloud calanders everytime I connect it to my Macbook to sync via USB, instead of syncing with the "on my mac" calanders as it is currently doing without have iOS5 capabilities on my iPhone? If not, is there a way to have iCloud keep syncing with my "on my mac" calander list, so that it is always up to date, and data from my iPhone will be synced over to my iCloud calander list from the "on my mac" calander list?
I'm just trying to figure out if I'll be able to transfer new iCal dates I create on my 3G iPhone over to my iCloud calander list, and ideally, vice versa.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I understand that iCloud won't run on it or with it. I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way to sync the "on my mac" calanders (which sync to my iPhone iCal everytime I connect via USB) continually with my iCloud calandars so the two are always up to date.

IPhone 3G will no longer sync with iCal?

I have been trying to sync for a couple of days but it just won't add any of the new appointments I add to the phone?
It has all the old appointments in iCal but won't sync the new stuff.
I just did a complete Restore of my phone which has not helped?
Any idea's?
thanks
Using MBP to sync.

Hey Allan,
The funny thing is that I don't get that option on my mac in prefs.
I get it on my windows itunes (which is where I set-up my account and sync most things)
I use my mac purely to sync with ical for a back-up for my calander and address book.
Had no problem before a day or so ago?
thanks!

I cannot get my Iphone 4 created notes to sync with my Exchange Outlook Notes or my Outlook created notes to sync with my Iphone

I do not seem to be able to get my Notes to sync between my Iphone 4 and my Outlook (exchange). I have it set to sync on my Itunes setting but..

I have the same problem. An yes this is a supported feature as long as you do it with itunes. This use to work but Now it will only pass very fast on the sync and we will see the sync arrows on the iphone but no candy.
Anyone have a way around this.
We do it in info of the iphone and others... on iTunes...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

ICloud will sync with iCal & contacts on Mac but not iPhone or iPad

I just got a new iMac and set up my calendar and contacts, essentially entering everything from my old exchange server (going away from the PC). My iCloud syncs with the Mac, but every time I try with the iPhone or iPad it constantly is "searching" for the calendar and contacts, draining battery life. I have spent the last two days doing hard resets, wiping clean and doing a system restore for my iPhone and iPad (very frustrating!!) and doing both a system recovery AND installing everything manually. It is worth noting that iCloud worked on my iPhone and iPad BEFORE I set it up with the iMac and software is all up to date. I have also deleted the iCal, exported a copy and rebooted the reset up the iCloud account. Things always seem to work with the Mac, but not the mobile devices. Will apple care even be able to help? This is really frustrating as I have no contacts on my phone....

OKAY FOLKS, I found the answer. I figured the only explination could be with my iCloud Account. I tried EVERYTHING, read every discussion on this topic. It WASN'T b/c I had an old Mobile Me account. It WASN'T b/c I didn't have the sttings right. I rebooted, erased data, EVERYTHING. The only solution was to create a NEW iCloud account - I chose a new address through Apple (me.com). Even though I already have a me.com email address and a different Apple ID I figured starting fresh was the only way. Sadly, I lost all of my calendar data (when I tried to import my old calendar data from a backup it was associated with the old iCloud account and could not be edited) but my contacts were saved. I just re-entered my calendar information... figured this would be less time consuming than trying to reboot and research the issue 10 more hours!
Here are the steps I used:
1- iCloud was OFF on my iPhone to start
2- Export your iCal and iContacts data from your Mac to a backup (you WILL lose your data)
3- On iPhone went to Settings, iCloud and went through the proper steps to set up a new iCloud account with a NEW email address (me.com)
4- On iMac under System Preferences I deleted my OLD iCloud account (it will prompt you stating you will lose your data or you can merge/save). The only way I could get it to work was to accept the warning it was going to delete everything
5- Set up a NEW iCloud account on my Mac with the NEW me.com account I set up on my iPhone. Somehow my Contacts were kept in tact, uploaded to iCloud and to my iPhone. Had issues with my iCal data, but I entered all the information manually.
Everything is syncing great! Haven't set this up yet on my iPad but will do that next. I'm hopeful!!

IPhone 4S reminders don't sync with iCal

I have a new iPhone 4S and I can't get my reminders to sync from iCal to the iPhone and viceversa. In iCal, i have the right panel open that says "reminders" and they are not showing up in the reminders app on the iPhone. Also, reminders I create on the iPhone don't sync to iCal. I am not using iCloud, I just want to sync the two like I sync my address book, or events, etc. Anyone know what's up?

Anyone? haha.

Some events on my iphone 4 (ios 5) will not sync with ical on my mac (using itunes/usb for sync)

If I add an event on the calendar on my mac - it does go to my iphone. If I change an event that HAD synced previously (not sure when this problem started, but i had never had a problem syncing before) that change goes thru. But I have several events on my iphone that just won't transfer to the Mac

My Iphone 4 crashed yesterday after a restart and upload of OS 5.0, it will only partially sync. It's not transferring any of my music or ringtones. They still appear when I click open the sync screens on ITunes, but I don't seem to have an Ipod function and only one of my personalized ringtones transfers on the actual phone.

IPhone Calendar Changes not Syncing with ICal

Additions and changes to my iPhone calendar are not synced with ICal on my Mac. Syncing the other direction (adding or changing appointments on my Mac) works, but nothing I change or add on my iPhone appears on my Mac (the same seems to be true of contacts and notes). I have the same problem with an iPod touch.
Has anyone else experienced (and fixed) a similar problem? As it ism the iPhone-Mac sync only works in one direction!

I had the same problem, and then all my calendars stopped syncing either way. They picked a beautiful time to do it, too... right as I was leaving on a business/pleasure vacation where I was making on the fly appointments. grumble
However, I fixed it tonight. Here is what I did.
1. Back up (export) all your iCal calendars. (not just good practice, you'll need them later) Make sure iCal is closed.
2. under ~/Library/Application Support/iCal delete everything.
3. under ~/Library/Calendars delete everything
4. Sync your phone.
At this point you should have your phone overwriting everything in iCal. If your problem is ONLY syncing from phone to iCal you should be good to go, if you can't sync either way, you'll need to:
5. Drag all your backed up calendars back to iCal. In theory they will sort themselves out, but you might have some duplicates between stuff you've created on your phone and in iCal.
I don't know if this will keep the problem from occurring again, but at the very least, I was able to test out my ability to create events on either side, and it works.
I kept hoping that the last iPhone update would solve this for me, alas!

Anyone try to put their iPhone sim in another phone?

Has anyone tried to put their iPhone SIM into another phone yet? Does the phone work? Does it get data? Can you get voicemail? etc?
I put the Apple iPhone's sim into my Blackberry curve and the Curve would never show "EDGE" it would only get to "edge". The lowercase "edge" means that it can't send/receive data. The phone portion worked fine.
Wondering if anyone has been able to take the iPhone SIM card and put it into a RAZR/Treo or something and see if it can access the EDGE data network.
I

It is not recommended but possible. You will still have access to the data network and have unlimited data so you don't have to worry about being charged extra. However you will be forced to use normal voicemail, the visual voicemail feature will not work on another phone.
Also, don't loose your sim. You can take the iPhone sim and put it in the razr, but can't take a Razr sim and put it in the iPhone.
And the type of internet (edge/umts/gprs) is determined by the type of device you are using, and of course the network you are on. if the device only uses edge, you won't be able to boost it to WiFi, etc.

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

Hey Xxx_Dank_xxX,
Have you ever been able to sync your iPod shuffle to iTunes on your computer, or has something recently occurred? Are you working with a Mac or a PC? Without knowing what has been recommended to you, I'm going to start here with the basics troubleshooting for this issue.

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.
