Issues syncing local calendar besides active iCloud

Hello,
i recently upgraded to 10.8 and iTunes 11.
Since my upgrade to 10.8 i used the following setup to have my calendars in sync on my Mac and my iPhone:
I used one calendar in iCloud to sync my most recent dates and events. I had another (but local) calendar used as some kind of archive, where i moved older and expired events to. This calendar is only set as local, as i don't want all those old dates in iCloud.
That local calendar got synced to my iPhone everytime i plugged my iPhone to the computer.
This setup worked like a charme for several months.
With 10.8 and iTunes 11, i'm not able to activate that local calendar for syncing with my iPhone, as there is no option anymore to.
Any hints how i could get my local calendar again on the iPhone besides adding the local calendar to iCloud also?!
All Best.

Does anybody got an idea?!

HT4968 How to sync a local calendar with an iCloud calendar, automatically.

I have several iCloud calendars including one for the daily business events. I use a local copy (generated to export/import) for sync with other systems like a BB. The export/import step is a stop gap since, first, its manual and, secondly, its not really synchronizing. Hence, my question: is there a SW or a batch process which snycs iCloud calendars with a local calendar??
Thanks

You can get 2-way synchronization between iCal and google calendar, but you have to start with a google calendar and import that into iCal. You can't sync an existing local iCal calendar with google.
Here's what I would suggest:
1. Export your local iCal calendar as a .ics file.
2. Make a new calendar on google calendars.
3. Upload your .ics file so that it populates your new google calendar with the events from your local iCal calendar (do this via google calendar's web interface).
4. Then use iCal to sync that newly-created google calendar with iCal.
5. Now you can use iCal to edit events in this new google calendar, and they will be synched with the google calendar. You can also edit events using the google calendar web interface, and they will be synched with the version visible in iCal the next time you open iCal or ctrl-click "Refresh" that iCal calendar.
6. You can keep your original local iCal calendar, or delete it, once you know your new setup is doing what you want it to.

Issues Syncing Google Calendar with Palm Pre 2 WebOs 2.0.1 - Timezones...

I am using Google Calendar to synch my company Outlook to my Palm Pre 2. I note that there are some prior posts on Timezone challenges and have followed the advice provided to no benefit.
All my events are synchronizing - however any recurring events not local to my timezone are not translating to my local timezone. So events scheduled by colleagues on the US West Coast are entered into my calendar at the time set ignoring the offset to my timezone (8 hours given that I'm in UK).
All events are properly reflected in Google Calendar it's the sync to my Pre which seems to corrupt (or more correctly not translate the time). Interestingly single events created by US colleagues are translated correctly.
Any suggestions as to how I can fix this??

Issues syncing/sharing calendars on iPhone 6

Some questions about sharing calendars...
First some background. My husband and I just upgrade from an iPhone 3 (yes, so retro) to an iPhone 6. Clearly this is a big change for us. We lived through an era where we shared my apple ID for a while. But while on the 3 we eventually graduated to having separate Apple IDs, while still sharing iTunes account, Calendars and Notes.
So now we're on the 6. All of our stuff was transferred over to our individual phones. And although we each have up-to-date events in our calendars (we can each see everything in there, up to time of transfer), we are no longer hooked up to each other (i.e. when he adds an event, it's not showing up on my calendar and vice versa). A note: We share 5 different color-coded calendars, one for each member of our family. I also use these same calendars on our family iPad and my laptop.
I understand that Family Sharing will allow us to share a single "family" calendar, but it will not allow us to use the multiple, color-coded calendars that we've already started years ago, correct??
We understand the steps to manually share each of our 5 calendars. After opening the calendar app, he clicks on "calendars" on the bottom. Using the calendars listed under iCloud, he clicked the "i" to the right of each calendar and add me under "shared with." Here are our problems… when he tries to share with me and add any of the 5 specific calendars, it duplicates what is already existing on my calendar (up to the point of data transfer). Does that make sense? And when I try to share with him, well, I can't. His name will not populate under the "shared with" section. Yes, he is in my contacts.
Does it matter who sends the share invite to whom?
Why is he not showing up when I try to add him? Everyone in his contact list shows up as an option when he tries to share with me. Barely any of my contacts are available when I try to share with him. And he is definitely not showing up
Are we going about this totally wrong?
I'm assuming Family Sharing is not an option because we both want to see and be able to edit each of our 5 family calendars. Am I assuming correctly? I think we'll try to use Family Sharing for iTunes purchases, but I haven't been able to even think about that yet, because we wanted to get our calendars working.
Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Amy
P.S. I'm posting this in multiple forums, since I'm not sure what the issue is! Sorry if you see all posts!

I just figured it out how to fix this issues.
Steps:
Go to
1- Settings
2- Cellular
3- Enable LTE
Change Voice & Data to Data Only
This should fix the issue incoming calls.. I'm using this setting for over a week and never had any issues with incoming calls.
Please let me know if this works for you
Thanks

Can I exclude photos on my iPhone from being sent to iCloud and how? My goal is to only sync my calendar to the iCloud and exclude everything else. This way I don't have to pay for more space.

My goal is to only sync my calendar to iCloud and exclude everything else. This way I don't have to pay for more space.

Hey Murphie,
I don't pay for more space and I'm backing up two devices to iCloud, a 32G ipad and a 16G phone.
However, you can merely chose NOT to backup to iCloud. Then you won't run out of space. Items synced to iCloud do not take up your backup space.
Now, you WILL have to back up to your computer via iTunes the old fashioned way, or risk losing valuable data. Your choice.
However, if you manage your data responsibility, you won't run out of your 5G of storage on your iCloud backup from normal use.
Good luck

TS3999 Using OS Mavericks. Any way to sync Contacts & Calendars without using iCloud? Don't always have internet!

Any way to sync ical and contacts without internet?!!

Not unless you want to install OS X server and set up your own CardDAV and CalDAV server as explained here: http://www.macworld.com/article/2061183/itunes-ios-syncing-gone-solve-it-with-se rver-.html. That would allow you to sync contacts and calendars locally with your Mac as you could before Mavericks.

Issue syncing Outlook calendar to iPod Touch

Hi there - I have just synced my iPod Touch with my Outlook calendar using iTunes for the first time since the clocks went back at the weekend. All my single appointments are fine, but all of my recurring ones (of which I have many) are now showing as an hour earlier on my iPod Touch (for example, if an appointment is 8.30-9.30am in Outlook then it is appearing on my iPod as 7.30-8.30am).
On my computer, the Time Zone setting is "(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London" with a tick for "adjust for daylight saving time".
On my iPod Touch, in the Date & Time settings (found in Settings>General>Date & Time) I have the Time Zone set to "London" and in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, I have the Time Zone Support set to "on" with the Time Zone showing as "London" also.
I've tried changing some of these options (e.g. turning Time Zone Support off, setting the iPod time zone to UTC rather than London, unticking the "adjust for daylight saving time" box in Windows) and then re-synching - but none of this has worked.
I've tried searching on several forums, but no-one seems to have a solution except for making sure that all the Time Zone settings are the same - which I think they are.
Please can anyone help?!!
Thanks!

Lady Mosie,
I recently had a similar experience with my iPhone 3GS and Outlook calendar. The calendars suddenly quit syncing although Contacts and Notes continued to sync normally.
After unsuccessfully trying all of Apple's suggested fixes ("Troubleshooting the iPhone and iPod touch contact and calendar syncing via USB on Windows"), I discovered that inadvertently multiple calendars had been set up in Outlook. I removed the superfluous calendars and they began to sync perfectly fine once again.
In my case, I don't think was related in any way to iTunes updates, but rather user error. Now, I have two calendars in Outlook and two on the iPhone and my world seems to be 'in sync' once again.

Even by sync via iCloud, it doesn't sync my calendar on my computer ... why ?

even sync my iphone via iCloud, it doesn't sync my calendar on my computer ... why ? It's a bull s... that apple take off the menu info on itunes

Apple removed sync in Mavericks with iTunes.
You can no longer sync with an iPhone or iPad via iTunes. You can only sync with an iPhone or iPad via a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google.
You can no longer sync local calendars with OS X Calendar (formerly iCal). You can, however, continue to sync calendars hosted on a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google with Apple's Calendar.
You can no longer sync with any third-party apps running on your Mac that use Sync Services, like Entourage or Outlook.

Sync iphone calendar with Mac - Maverick

I updated to Maverick and discovered that I can no longer sync my iphone calendar to my Mac via iTunes. I read this explanation http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117 so I understand that this function was deliberately removed in Maverick.
My work takes me to places where I am often without access to wi-fi and of course in that context there is no way to sync my devices. And I don't do cloud computing because, 1) I am in a restricted-acess country where security is an issue, 2) my internet is very slow so doing cloud stuff takes a long time and is very expensive, and 3) I simply don't want to use the **** cloud.
Is there anyway to get around this? I thought I read somewhere a while back that soon there will be an update that will restore the ability to sync calendars via iTunes.

I read the same thing.

Help! Sync iPhone 4s Contacts to iCloud

Greetings:
1. I installled iCloud onto my desktop computer to sync photo stream only. I am not syncing contacts, calendars, etc to iCloud from this desktop.
2. My iPhone 4s is connected to my office Exchange. I have also set the phone up to to the iCloud account established on my desktop above, to sync the contacts I develop on my iPhone 4s.
Problem
The contacts in my iPhone 4s will not sync to iCloud.com. However, if I add or import a contact into iCloud.com on my desktop, it will sync back to the iPhone.
Please help...I've been searching for solutions on the web for a couple of days and can't get it to work...thanks in advance...j

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

ICloud iCal duplicates - iTunes sync and local calendars OFF

Hi there,
all my calendar entries in iCloud (and, subsequently on my iPhone/iPad and Mac) show up at least 3 times, some of them 4 times. This applies to all of my 4 iCloud calendars. I used to have 3 or so local calendars before iCloud, but I somehow converted/merged them to iCloud calendars and now these are the only ones i have. iTunes calendar sync is off, and I have never used MobileMe.
For whatever reason they got duplicated, everything else seems to work fine. If I create a new entry in iCal it only shows up once in iCloud and on my devices. If there is an easy way for me to delete the duplicates in the cloud I think I could get everything in order again.
Thank you for any help
Christoph

Yes, your statement is correct and that is exactly what happens. However, if you have a PC running windows, then there is a problem in that icloud will not sync or should I say icloud to your pc.
I set icloud up at the beginning yesterday, it copied 4.4g to the cloud in the sky. Then I went into Outlook and entered a meeting a few days from now. Went back to icloud and told it to do its thing. It ran and when I checked the phone, the meeting was not on the phone. I then entered a different meeting on the iphone and told icloud to do its thing. When it was done, I went to the pc and checked outlook, nothing there from the phone. Then I hooked the cable up and pressed sync on itunes. It went through the sync, backed up etc. I then opened Outlook and still no meeting from the iphone, looked on the iphone and no meeting from the computer.
I turned off icloud and turned sync back on and everything sync'd perfectly with both meetings showing up on the phone and on the comupter.
Thus, icloud is great if you are going to have 3-4 iphones and you use them on different days, it will keep all your apps, etc the same. But for sync, the only way to do it with the PC is with the sync. Unless I am missing something. As I mentioned, if you do turn sync on while icloud is on, then yes, duplicates and a real pain.

I use a Win7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my calendar and contacts. I can enter data in my Outlook Calendar and it will appear in iCloud, but data entered in iCloud does not sync back to Outlook. ICloud syncs to my iphone fine both ways.

I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar. They have stopped syncing...mostly.
Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine. But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar. If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
All syncing works with my iPhone.
I have signed out of iCloud on PC. I have stopped syncing and re-started. No change.
I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud. I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
Any help would be appreciated. Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot. However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.

Hi Jim!
You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
Note: When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
Close Outlook.
Open the Windows Control Panel:
In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
Outlook 2010:
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
Open Outlook 2007.
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
