MacBook Air Won't Sync with iPhone

Hi guys,
I've been fumbling around with this all weekend and way hoping someone could help. I have TWO macbookairs and TWO iPhones between my wife and myself.
My wife's iPhone and MBA sync perfectly between calendars and reminders. Check.
Also, if I add something to MY iPhone it syncs perfectly with her iPhone and MAR. Check.
If I put something on my iPhone it syncs perfectly with my MBA. Check.
HOWEVER, if i make changes or additions to my calendar or reminder on my MBA it does NOT sync on my iPhone OR on my wife's MBA / iPhone.
In other words, changes go IN to my MBA by not OUT.
It took me a while to isolate the problem (wasted lots of time opening ports). but think it is now somewhat defined.
Any ideas what the cause of this could be and how to fix it?
KR,
Wynn

Hey, finally found the specific error message and managed a solution. If anyone has this problem in the solution what I did was:
* Go to System Settings - iCloud. Turn off Calendar and Reminders
* Restart Computer
* Go back to System Settings - iCould. Turn on Calendar and Reminders.
Yeah, that was it. Nothing else. Fun weekend.

  • MacBook Pro won't sync with iPhone but iPhone does

    Since upgrading MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite and each of iPhone and iPad to iOS 8.1.2, whilst appointments made on iPhone and iPad appear on Calendar in MacBook Pro, those made on MacBook Pro don't appear in Calendars on my iPhone and iPad. Tried iTunes sync with cable, WiFi while connected to power, have read Forums, etc but no luck. Effectively "One way sync" only. Has any one else experienced and rectified this issue??

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • MacBook Pro won't sync with other devices

    My MacBook pro won't sync with other devices in the house.  My iPad and iPhone sync OK but MacBook won't for some reason.  Can you help?

    Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
    Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

  • My macbook air refuses to sync with a lot of projectors,,, ..

    My macbook air refuses to sync with a lot of projectors,,,please help ..will updating it to mountain lion os solve the problem

    My wife has a MacBook Air that is currently running Lion. However, it's original 80 Gig 4800 rpm hard drive was replaced with a SSD from OWC. It's performance with Lion is acceptable.
    If your MacBook Air had the optional SSD, you may also find that the Lion performance will be acceptable.
    You should make an external hard drive backup before uprading. You could also do a trial install of Lion on the external beforehand.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Air-Retina/Apple-MacBook-Air-2008-Drive-I nternal
    It is true that older software written for the PowerPC platform will not run in Lion, as Rosetta is not available. However, there are increasingly newer versions of software that won't run in Snow Leopard. See: http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a

  • My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

    My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

    I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

  • My Macbook pro won't sync with my iPad. It says it isn't authorised.  I have gone as far as deauthorizing all computers then authorizing the Macbook & still no luck.  Any ideas?

    My Macbook pro won't sync with my iPad. It says it isn't authorised.  I have gone as far as deauthorizing all computers then authorizing the Macbook & still no luck.  Any ideas?

    Sorry, not sure how to screenshot on my computer, but this is what is says word for word:-
    The Ipad could not b synced because the computer is not longer authorised for purchased items that are on this ipad.
    To authorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorise this computer.
    I have done all of that but not luck.  That's when I tried deauthorising all computer which it did ok.  I then authorised my Macbook pro again, it said I had one computer now authorised.  I tried to delete apps via Itunes then sync to my iPad, but the above message keeps popping up & it wont do what I want.

  • MacBook Air will not sync with icloud

    my macbook air will not sync with my icloud account.
    I have tried reseting the i cloud preferences and have trashed the calender caches
    still does not sync.

    If you haven't already done so, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac and go back and sign back in.  This deletes the iCloud account and iCloud data (if any) from your Mac but not from iCloud.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

    I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5.  How can I refresh them so they will all sync together.  I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro.  I turned iCloud off then on again.  I also turned calendars on and off again.  Then the event disappeared from my iPad also.  So now it is only on my iPhone 5.  How do I sync ical with all my devices?

    Anna,
    I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage.
    It would be helpful to know if you used this support article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

  • 2 songs that won't sync with iPhone 4

    I have 2 "songs" in iTunes that won't sync with my iPhone 4. I say "songs" because they are 30-minute treadmill workout songs that I purchased a long time ago when I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch and used the old Nike+ system that required a sensor in my shoe as well as a tracker attached to the iPod. I think it was one of the first issues of the Nike+ system. Anyway, I purchased OK Go's Master the Treadmill and another Treadmill Training compilation. Both albums contained a 30+ minute voice-over track with the songs and guidance for running. Then, the individual songs were included for you to listen to without a guiided workout if you wanted. Since I've had my iPhone 4 (about a year now), I haven't been able to figure out how to get these 30-minute voice-over songs to sync (the individual songs sync fine). They appear in a "Workouts" folder in iTunes - I think that was linked up to Nike+, but I'm not actually sure where that folder came from. They play on iTunes, but no matter what I do, I can't get them to appear on my iPhone. I've tried adding them to a playlist, creating a new playlist, but nothing works. The songs don't show up anywhere on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
    (I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4)
    Jenn T. "jtrip1111"

    I'm in the same boat. I have an original iPhone which has been working fine for years. Always updated contacts, always synced with my calendars and contacts. Now my iPhone has done a software update and I'm stuffed.
    I can select the tick boxes to tell it to update contacts and calendars, then when the option to apply is selected it removes the ticks and starts to do a sync without actually updating anything.
    Part way through is comes up with the error that iTunes cannot update because a sync session cannot be started. I've tried a hard reset of the phone, re-installing iTunes, deleting multiple calendars. I've tried everything I've had suggested. Apple won't offer any support when I rang because my phone is old. They'll willing sell me new phone ! ! ! !
    I've trawled through nearly every web and forum I can. I've tried a multitude of so called fixes all to no avail.
    Having been an avid supporter of the iphone/itunes and apple, I am now so pi**ed off with it.
    I've been trying solutions for 3 days ! ! !
    And I STILL have no contacts or calendars on my phone.

  • Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

    Please,please, help,
    My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

    Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link
