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.

Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
related problem?
thank
Hein

I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
Below that is:
"From My Mac.
"All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
Hope this helps you.

Iphone does not sync with Yahoo Address Book

Hi My iPhone does not sync with Yahoo Address book. iTunes comes back with an error
"iTunes could not sync with Yahoo Address Book.Because an Internet connection not available"
This make no sense as I am conected to the internet. iTunes can acess the iTunes Store without a problem. I can also access the Web.
Any ideas?

I ran into this problem just within the past couple of weeks. I found someting on another discussion group on the net about someone with the same problem. They said that it was because one of their notes was too long.
I looked at my notes and wouldn't you know it, I created a couple of extra long notes a couple of weeks ago! I deleted them and I am able to sync without errors again. I didn't know there was a size limit for a note on the iphone.
PS. I have an iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, iTunes 10.6.3.25

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

Putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac

putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac. It did when I first bought iPhone, how can I sync automatically?

Could be a bunch of reasons. Do you have icloud setup on both devices? Can you give us more details of your setup? Make sure you have the calendar set to sync in the icloud system settings. Also make sure you are set to sync said calendar. I was checking my settings and realized that you may or may not be using icloud for calendaring. On your phone in settings/mail, contacts, calendars/ you have the ability to select what and which calendars you want to sync. Make sure it is configured appropriately.

HT4623 my new iphone is not syncing with my mac computer says i need itunes 10.7 but i downloaded 10.7- still says same thing- what to do?

my new iphone 5 is not syncing with my mac computer- computer says i need itunes 10.7; i downloaded 10.7 but it still is not syncing

If you didn't install 10.7, install it. If you did, launch iTunes straight from the Applications folder.

After upgrading to a new iMac 27 my iPhone does not sync with iTunes

After having the Apple Store migrate all my data and programs from an older iMac to a new iMac 27" my iPhone does not sync. After connecting the phone it begins and goes to about steps 3 or 4 and then the "apple" appears indicating it is finished - however new pictures have not been transferred to the phone and updates for apps have not happened. Any ideas?

Your music/movies, etc will only be where you put them.
Copy everything fom your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one

My iPhone does not sync with iTunes

Since updating the software on my iPhone iOS 7.0.4, it will not sync with iTunes (ver 11.1.3) on my laptop. I can deselect and re-select podcast, music, audiobooks, etc. then sync. iTunes will act like it is synce (going through 6 steps) but nothing is transferred to my phone. Does does not matter what combination I used or how many time I try to sync and apply changes. Even if I change nothing and sync the phone, nothing appears on the phone was the sync is complete. This has been extremely frustrating.

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

IPhone does not sync with iTunes

HI,
Since upgrading to Yosemite, my iPhone contacts do not sync with my iMac contacts over iCloud.
The iMac and iPad sync as usual. I don't see any difference in the sync settings for the iPhone and iPad in the summary or info sections on iTunes.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Nevermind. The issue was apparently on one name. I deleted and re-entered it, and now everything seems to work normally.

Why will my Iphone 5 not sync with my mac 10.6.8

Not sure why my IPhone 5 will not be recognized when I plug in to my computer via the smart cord, I've upgraded the mac to snow leopard 10.6.8 and upgraded I-tunes to 11.0.5. I've tried to wireless sync aswell, but the mac will not recognize the I-phone even pluged in to the back of the mac's port. I use this same cord to charge the phone.
I couldn't download 10.7.4 or 10.7.0 from Apple is this only avilable in the stores?
any idea's?

You have to buy Mountain Lion 10.8.x, Lion (10.7.x) isn't broadly available. However before even considering upgrading find out why your iPhone will not sync. When you connect it to your iMac is it seen in iTunes?
