Local Sync of Calendar etc not working on Mavericks

I upgraded to Mavericks back when it was first released, but after discovering the unpleasant surprise that Apple secretly disabled local syncing of Calendar/Reminders/Notes, I had to wipe my MBP and reinstall the old OS from a backup. (My company prohibits cloud-based products of any kind.)
Recently an Apple employee told me that Apple had restored local sync in the newest version of Mavericks, so I upgraded again (this time to 10.9.4). Though it appears the local sync option has been restored, it's not actually working.
Mavericks recognizes all my Calendar data that existed on the MBP, but when I connect my iPhone to my MBP and sync it, no new Calendar events sync. (I created a new event on the MBP and a new event on the iPhone. Neither event synced with the other device.)
Oddly, the Reminders app on the MBP is showing some very old Reminder lists -- none of which are currently on my iPhone. And all of the Notes that were previously in Mail came over to the Notes app on the MBP, but when I created a new Note on the MBP and a new Note on the iPhone, neither Note synced with the other device.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Trashing my Calendar prefs and restarting. The MBP recreated all the Calendar events but still won't sync new ones. (Plus — same problems with Notes and Reminders)
There's a System Pref that wasn't on my previous OS called Internet Accounts. I've played around with the checkboxes on various email accounts I have, but that hasn't gotten any new Calendar events (or anything else) to sync locally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to amend my previous post, but I got an error message saying I'm "not allowed" to edit it.
I solved the Calendar sync issue — for some reason iTunes had turned off all the Sync options. That's a weird default for Mavericks. Anyhow, turning them back on got Calendar events to sync.
But still no syncing on Reminders or Notes.

  • Photos local sync over itunes does not work

    Hey, works for me to sync new photos of the new Photos app via iTunes to the iPhone until I restart iTunes. Example: I import from the camera a new image in photos and pack it into an album. iTunes is open and I want the new image to the iPhone. Unfortunately, it transmits only the new images from photos when previously I conclude iTunes and reboot again. Has anyone even seen such a thing? With iPhoto, which went smoothly! best regards, Uli

    Update iTunes to the latest version, 12.1.2 from here: iTunes 12.1.2. It fixes them sync issue with mobile devices.

  • How to un-sync a calendar and NOT delete ANY events?  Please help!

    Hi,
    I seem to be the only one with this problem. I search all over and can't find information for what I want to do, everyone wants to do the opposite.
    So basically I had a job and an iphone. I used my calendar at work for personal events and so forth. I synced the calendar on my work's exchange server to my iphone. Then I lost my job. My password no longer works, so sync fails and it keeps asking for my password and draining my battery. I try to cancel sync, and the iphone threatens to delete all my events. I don't want to delete my events, i just don't want it to keep trying to connect to my old job. How can I keep all my calendar events and not get nagged every 10 seconds to enter a password?
    I do not have outlook on my home computer either.
    Thanks!

    OK, so i bit the bullet and canceled my sync to my calendar at my old work.
    My old calendar events are now gone. All of them. The stuff added through my outlook at my old work is gone. The personal stuff added on my iPhone directly is gone. The stuff added on my phone after it stopped syncing with my old work is gone. My calendar is COMPLETELY EMPTY now.
    Can someone explain this to me?

  • Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.

    Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.
    When I sync my MacBook Pro with my iPhone and iPad, the events set in both devices (iPhone & iPad) are not transfered to the iCal on my labtop. Events created in both devices are transfered and copied betwen them when I sync them with the iTunes app (through the MacBook Pro) but they are not trasfered/copied into the labtop (iCal). The events created in the iCal (on my MacBook) are tranfered to the devices as two events on same hour. One, with the description created on the iCal, and the other as a New Event (no description). This is happening since I installed the new OS X Lion last week.
    I file a report and talked with an Apple Support Representative, but they could not help me. They have not receive any other reports on this matter. Do someone has confronted this issue. I need to find out how to solve this problem.

    Hi Sydness,
    Thank you very much for your help. It just worked fine. I have 4 macs in my company for 25 years (one is updated each year), and it is the first time I could not solve a problem for weeks. It gave me the opportunity to join this great community.

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

  • I bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working

    i bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working.
    I saw cidya aap so i m not sure if it was jailbroken or not before but it is back to normal settings.
    My problem started when I tried to sync my music files. I pressed 'sync' all it says is waiting for sync start, preparing to sync and then waiting for the changes to be applied. but it does not sync at all.
    I found a way to sync my music files through autofill but I really wanted to sync ringtones but its not syncing and I really wanted to put ringtones in my phone please help.

    If you see the cidya app, your iPhone is hacked with the cutsie term for this being jailbroken. This also means all the built in security has been removed making the iPhone as insecure as an android device.
    Restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to get rid of that hacking garbage. If the iPhone has hacked to be unlocked, the iPhone will no longer be unlocked when doing so.

    Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
    I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

    I'm a real person, thanks.
    If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
    Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
    General advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

  • Calendar app not working on iPhone 5

    Hi,
    My calendar does not work on my iPhone 5.  It initially only showed one of my calendars.  I turned iCloud calendars off and back on and it temporarily showed my other calendars, but they disappeared again.  Events that I enter on my calendar directly on my phone have disappeared as well.
    Anyone have this issue and found a fix for it?

    Never mind on this. I found the issue.
    I should have been configuring the Google account on the iPhone by using the "GMail" option instead of the "Exchange" option.

  • Why iMessages, facetime, app store, etc  I do not work in maverick? please solution  thanks

    why iMessages, facetime, app store, etc  I do not work in maverick? please solution  thanks

    Philip, many people have talked about this "blue lego" problem, but you are the first to explain it (migrating to Intel) that brings clarity to the issue. The Business and People widgets use small "webkit" plugins in order to do their work. However, the plugins on the PowerPC versions of these widgets are NOT Universal, and thus will not run on an Intel Mac.
    Typically, this should never be an issue because an Intel Mac comes with widgets already installed (the Universal versions of these widgets, which include Universal versions of these plugins).
    However, if I understand you correctly, you "migrated" your old files from your PowerPC Mac to your new Intel Mac. Is it possible you overwrote your Intel OS X default widgets (the 18 widgets in [Hard Drive]/Library/Widgets) with the versions from your old PowerPC Mac during this migration?
    If so, then that is the source of your problem: you replaced your Universal widgets with PowerPC widgets. The solution is to reinstall your widgets from the Installer that came with your new Intel Mac. You can either re-install OS X entirely, or use Pacifist to just install those overwritten widgets.
