Itunes no longer syncs with ical even though it recognizes all my calendars

My first problem was that iTunes would only transfer over certain calendars, not all that I had selected. On top of that, some, but not all, of the start times were an hour later than my iCal calendars. And, I've been having issues with disappearing calendars. So, I restored the iPod and the following happened...
After connecting my ipod to my iMac, I went to iPod options and under calendar, I selected to "synchronize all calendars". iTunes found all my calendars. I clicked ok, iTunes says it's "updating calendars" and after a few moments my ipod is back to normal. But, when I navigate to calendars on the iPod, there are no calendars to be found.
So, I reinstalled itunes. deleted .plist files. I even exported all my calendars to .ics files and completely reinstalled iCal. Restarted the iMac a few times in between. Now, the only way I can get the calendars to show up on my ipod is to mount the ipod as a drive and copy over the .ics files. Since I have 16 calendars, the export and copy routine is not ideal.
I do not sync with entourage. I have a .mac account, but I don't sync with that either. Nor do I have the Mark Space app that seems to appear in a lot of threads about odd times and disappearing calendars.
I have a Gen3 20gb iPod with the latest updates, itunes (6.0.4) ical (2.0.3) and OS X 10.4.6 with 1 GB RAM and about 160 GB of available on the hard disk. My iPod has about 12 Gb of stuff on it.
Any clues as to what's happening or how I can solve this?

FYI, I've reposted this question in the iCal forum. I thought that was a more appropriate thread. If you do have some insight, please post it to

  • I am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

    i am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

    I assume there is more than ample space remaining on your iPod to hold all the videos?  Are you getting any error messages during the sync process?
    Do all of these videos play okay in iTunes?  Is the sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
    What other setting do you have enabled from under the iPod's video configuration tab in iTunes?

  • Events created on my iPhone 5 calendar are no longer syncing with iCal.

    Events created on my iPhone 5 calendar are no longer syncing with iCal on my Macbook Pro (Lion OSX). It works fine the other way around.
    I can't understand why, and cannot find a solution. Please help!

    You can no longer sync via iTunes. That method of sync was removed (and the 1000+ post thread is arguments over things tangientally related to that).
    You need to sync via other means than iTunes, then.
    One option is to use iCloud. If you sign into iCloud on all your devices, and then make sure your calendars are in the "iCloud" section on your devices, they should sync.
    If you don't want to use iCloud, you could use Google calendars, they operate much the same way (but may be less reliable).
    Or if you use Exchange for work, you could sync that way.
    Or if none of those are acceptable, you could install OS X Server and set up the calendar server on your local network and use it to sync. This is fairly straightforward "for setting up a UNIX calendar server" but it's not trivial and beyond the scope of a forum post to explain it all

  • IPhone 3GS calendar is no longer syncing with iCal

    iPhone 3GS calendar is no longer syncing with iCal since upgrade to Lion. No issues prior to upgrade. Ideas?

    I am having the same problem.  I have snow leopard and since I upgraded to itune 5.0, I have had nothing but problems.  In icloud, all of my events quadrupled which then caused all my ical events to do the same on my computer and phone. What a nightmare!  The apple support guy had never seen anything like it!  I have since cleaned up my calendar on both my phone and macbook, but now any event I add to my phone does not show up during sync.  I noticed that when I go into mail, contacts, calendars and then go into my gmail account, the calendar button is set to off. If i try to switch it on, I get a message asking what I would like to do with the local calendars on my phone.  I am afraid to do anything so I just cancel!  Any thoughts?  The calendar on my computer is current so I could always over write my phone during a sync--but still unsure.  Thanks

  • Entourage no longer syncing with iCal..

    FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

  • Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

    Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4  and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones.  What do i do?  Should i uninstall new update?  and how?

    I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

  • My iTunes no longer syncs with my phone!

    My iTunes no longer syncs with my galaxy note3. I know galaxies aren't apple products but I happened to find a patch online for the note 3 to Allow iTunes to sync all my music but since I updated iTunes I haven't had any luck getting it to work. Please, I've been trying to find another patch to work with the new iTunes upgrade but haven't had any luck. If any if you knows of a new patch or something I could download to get it working again I would GREATLY appreciate it. Please help me

    Thanks but it still doesn't work.
    all my pre leopard entries still synch but none that have been put in since the "upgrade". I've tried starting new calendars from scratch. but nothing synchs. My .mac synch is fine! isn't that weird?

  • No longer syncs with iCal

    Since upgrading to itunes 7 and updating the ipod software, my ipod no longer syncs with my iCal calendars - despite having the option selected to do so. I have tried restoring from scratch to no avail. It does work if I copy the calendars manually into the folder on my iPod, but this is a bit of a hassle. Anyone else seen this? I updated to itunes 7.01 today and it still does it.

  • 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!

  • With Update 1.1.3  iPhone no longer syncs with iCal

    I run Leopard on a MacBook Pro. After upgrading my iPhone to 1.1.3, iCal and the calendar on iPhone no longer syncs, at all. I brought this to the NYC Soho Apple Store, but the genius couldn't figure it out. Only the two default calendars "Home" and "Work" synced, although not every time. Help! What should I do now? Enter events twice? Once in the iPhone, since that's what I take with me, and once on iCal, since when restoring iPhone settings that's what's used? Many thanks!

    I'm not sure I understand what the problem is -- first you said it doesn't sync at all, and then you said that your Home and Work calendars sync intermittently.
    Personally, I would do several things:
    1) Make sure you are not using Entourage -- and if you are, make sure all Sync functions are unchecked in preferences so that nothing is using Mac's sync services and copying back and forth.
    2) Print out your calendars (use month view) for the entire year so that you have a backup.
    3) Do you need to have separate calendars? I find it ridiculous personally to have work and home and entourage calendars, and combine them into one. It's all my calendar information anyway, and it goes with me everywhere, why would I want more than one calendar....anyway....not to get off on a tangent...
    If you can do without two calendars, combine them all into one (you export one of them, then import it back into the other one, then delete the one your exported and imported. You can do a search for the help topic on how to combine calendars.
    Rename the one combined calendar your name, rather than home or work. Sync your iPhone. On the Info tab, make sure that you have the calendar name selected (it will recognize the new name of your calendar. Also make sure you have the sync to: Your Name calendar selected.
    4) If that does not work, I would totally delete all of my calendars from iCal - and sync (to erase all the calendar information from your iPhone).
    5) Create a new calendar, and manually re-enter all your calendar information. Sync new information to your iPhone.
    In reality -- I have no idea why you are having problems -- I also have 1.1.3 on my iPhone, and I also sync with iCal. I haven't had any problems -- but then I only have the one calendar.

  • Office 2011 14.2.1 no longer syncs with iCal - HELP!

    since upgrade to Office 2011 14.2.1 I my iCal is no longer getting events from Outlook.  Outlook is primary place events are added on my computer and they used to sync to ical which then would sync to my ipad and iphone.  recently this stopped working and July on shows no events on my iCal on iPhone, iPad, or MacbookPro.  Please help!  I have searched all over the web and MS of course seems to ignore the issue and I need to be able to sync.  Tethered sync is fine via iTunes - no need for wireless.  I just want to make sure that SOMEHOW it syncs.  Please note I am on a POP server for Outlook - NOT exchange.  thanks!!!
    I am on OS X 10.7 Lion on the MacBook Pro.
    I am on iCal v. 5.0.
    I am on MS Outlook 2011 14.2.1.

    any updates here by any chance?
    I am now on 10.8.2, iCal 6.0, and working towards abandoning Outlook 2011 and moving towards Mail 6.2.  BUT i still can't figure out how to make iCal send from my work email address, and then publish to the web for people in my office to see, coupled with the ability to sync with iPad or iPhone.  It seems I can do one but not more than one, no matter how hard I try.  I mean really?!?!?! How is this even considered remotely functional?

  • Outlook 2011 no longer syncing with iCal and contacts

    I have installed Yosemite recently on my Macbook Pro. I run MS Outlook 2011 for professional reasons. Until now, syncing with my Android phone worked (almost) fine, using a nice app called SyncMate. For a few days now (not sure it is linked to installing Yosemite though) new data on my outlook calendar and address book no longer appear on my phone after syncing. After checking I realized that Outlook is actually not syncing any more with iCal and Contacts, so of course the syncing with the phone cannot work. How can I resolve this ?
