I have the same problem. My iMac calendar events will sync to my iPhone, but my iPhone events will not sync to the iMac. I'm not using iCloud. Help!
This sounds like you're syncing your calendars using iTunes. To sync your calendar over iCloud and have each device update automatically, you will need to do the same as I said in my last reply:
You first will need an iCloud account and you will need to turn on calendar sync in System Preferences > iCloud.
After this, make sure your iDevice is set up with the same iCloud account and your calendar should show up after a few minutes.
To clarify:
On the Mac, iCloud settings are under System Preferences > iCloud.
On an iDevice, iCloud settings are in the Settings app under iCloud.

  • Playlist will not sync

    I'm working with a client who is syncing his iPod touch.  He's been adding music to this iPod consistently for the last two years, and today, his largest and most frequently play playlist will not sync. 
    If you click on the device, the playlist appears to be there, but grayed out.  I have deleted all the songs added to the playlist since his last successful sync and moved them to another playlist (which is not being synced).  The content bar at the bottom of the sync screen appears to shoot up, indicating that it will sync all the playlists selected (a total of 4) but when sync completes, the content bars drops way down, and only the other three (smaller) playlists have synced.
    Any suggestions?

    I went into preferences, under sharing and denoted the playlists that I would like synced...
    The Sharing prefs are for sharing the library/playlists with other computers. It has nothing to do with syncing.
    What am I not doing correctly to manage my lists between units
    You don't manage lists between units.
    When I plug in the ipod for which I would like the playlist synced, the lists do not transfer?
    Connect your iPod.
    Select it in iTunes then click the Music tab.
    Select *Sync selected playlistc* then tick the playlists you want to snyc to that iPod.
    Do this for all iPods.

  • The contacts and calendar data on my iPod touch will not sync with my Mac

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch, and an iMac running iTunes 8.2.1.
    I have been away from my mac for a few months and have entered a lot of contact and calendar info into my ipod touch.
    Now, when I try to sync the contacts and calendar data on my ipod touch with my mac, the data will not sync to my mac.
    Similarly, for the last couple months, the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch has not been able to sync with my mobileme account.
    I cannot afford to lose the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch.
    Can anyone kindly inform me how to fix this syncing problem without losing such data?

    Select you device from the left sidebar of iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab at the top. Do you have the Sync Photos With checkbox checked and set to iPhoto?

  • ICal on my iPhone does not sync with my Mac or iPad.  I am using the cloud.

    My iCal calendar on my iPhone does not sync with my Mac or iPad.  I am on the cloud and every
    thing else is syncing.  I've looked at preferences and everything looks right...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Playlists will not sync with Windows PC

    Okay, at the office I did the "null Sync" leaving contacts and calendar for last...It did sync...I came home and viola! it synced here as well...Only thing, my contacts changed a little...WMDC asks about "save to my device" or "save to pc"...it is a bit confusing because the choices on the phone are little different...Any advice on this?

  • HT1296 My contacts on my iPhone 5 will not sync to my mac book?

    I cannot get the contacts on my iPhone to sync with Outlook on my mac book.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

    Are you signed into iTunes on the computer with the same Apple ID the apps in question were "purchased" with?  Is the computer authorized for that account?

  • My iphone 4s will not sync on my mac; I'm running 10.4.11 and I do not have the intel processor; iphone does not show up as a device

    My iphone 4s will not snyc on my mac at home; I'm running 10.4.11 and do not have the intel processor; on my work computer  my iphone is recognized as a device in itunes, but my music library can only be located on my older mac at home.

    The iPhone REQUIRES OS X 10.5.8 or higher. This is clearly stated in the documentation and on the web site. There is no magic that will make it work with 10.4.x.
