My new iPhone 5 will not sync calendars with my iMac and iPad.

Can someone please help me with this. I have ticked the sync calendars in the phone info tab. I tend to put appointments on both my iPhone and my iPad so I need all 3 talking to each other.

So I've always sort of had this problem with syncing my calendar and I think I finally figured out why. It seems I have two Apple ID's. My iCloud email address is [email protected] This is one Apple ID. My iTunes account has always been my Gmail email address. This is another Apple ID. Since I never use my Apple email address, I never considered that to be my Apple ID. I always considered what I used to connect to iTunes my Apple ID. So when I set up any iPhone I've ever had - when asked for my Apple ID I always put in my gmail address and it worked just fine. The problem is nothing was ever syncing properly with the cloud. Tonight, on my iPhone, I went to Settings > iCloud and then scrolled down to the bottom and deleted the account (this was my personal account at Gmail) Then I added [email protected] as my Apple ID. I then made sure everything in iCloud was switched on on the iPhone and just like magic, I went back to my iCal on the phone and everything syncs perfectly. It was a simple issue of having two Apple ID's. Make sure the email address you're using for iCloud is the Apple ID you're setting your iPhone up with and everything should work properly. Nobody has ever been able to figure this out for me. I hope this will help someone who has been as frustrated as I have been for such a long time now.

My iPhone 5S suddenly will not sync calendars with iTunes on my iMAC. I recently upgraded the iMAC to version 10.8.5. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Hey Oynkus,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5. Did you update iTunes as well?
If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
Connect your device to your computer.
Click the device button, then click Info.
Select the items you want to sync.
Click Apply.

Iphone 5 not syncing calendar with exchange

We have several iPhones in our organization - both 4S and 5. We are syncing them with Exchange Server 2003 and 2010 SP1. Email and Contacts sync fine, but the Calendar does not. Anyone have an idea on what we can try?
Thanks

Hmm ...238 views, and 14 people with the same question, but no replies?
I have spent the most frustrating 3 weeks trying everything suggested on every forum I could possibly find, and STILL I have not solved this
Everything has been deinstalled, reinstalled. Pst files have been backed up and recreated. etc etc
The only headway I seem to have made is to discover that when I create a new Outlook profile with a 'guest' account my phone will happily sync calendar with this profile, so what does that tell me? That it's a problem with my original Outlook user profile ? (If so, what should I now do?)
There seem to be so many people with the same problem - Outlook calendar suddenly not syncing - I can't believe someone hasn't identified the problem....
Please.......

New iphone 5 not syncing calendars mac air and ipad

Have a new iPhone 5s and now it will not sync with calendar on either mini ipad or mac book air. All same iCloud account and I think all the correct buttons turned on! Please help very frustrating - have read other answers but nothing seems to work

Yes.

Reminders on iCloud, my iPad mini, MacAir, and Mac mini all sync well. However my iPhone will not sync Reminders with iCloud. It appears to be setup identically to the iPad??

Reminders syncs well with my iPad mini, MacAir, and Mac mini. However my iPhone 5 Reminders does not. Items I enter on one of the devices show-up on iCloud and the other devices except for my iPhone 5. Vice versa if I enter a new item on my iPhone it does not show up on the other devices or iCloud. Essentially the same things happens when I complete an item. When I review how iCloud and Reminders is setup on the iPad and iPhone it appears to be the same.

First check that all your settings are correct, that reminders syncing (calendars on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the reminders you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device by tapping the icon with three lines in the top left corner of the screen, or the right side panel by clicking on the small triangle to the right of the word 'Reminders' in iCal on a computer), non iCloud reminders will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your reminders are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking reminders syncing (calendars syncing on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling reminders syncing.

IPhone will not sync calendar after 10.5.2 update

I am having this issue. I have restored the phone and still can't sync calendars with phone. The phone does not seem to be syncing mail accounts either.
Can anyone help or offer suggestions?

Try resetting the sync history first which is done with iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Applications > iSync > iSync Preferences > Reset Sync History
After that, reboot your Mac and try syncing again.

PC Suite will not sync Calendar with Lotus Notes 8...

I am running PC Suite 7.1.18.0 on Windows XP SP2 and attempting to sync between Lotus Notes V8.5 and my E51, which reports: 300.34.56, 11-12-2008, RM-244 Nokia E51 (06).
The syncing worked more or less entirely satisfactorily in the past. However at some point it began to fail and now I am completely unable to sync my calendar with the phone. (Contacts sync still works but only when Calendar sync is disabled.)
The Sync application shows it's reading some records (20-25 right now) but then stops and logs two messages:
PC Sync Information. PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronisation.
The Synchronisation has been Aborted! The synchronisation has been aborted.
It makes no difference whether I use USB or Bluetooth. I think I've tried just about everything that I've seen suggested in various postings on this topic. For example, I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled PC Suite, I've cleared out the stored data, I've created new sync profiles, I've tried different sync horizons, I've updated the phone firmware, I've even tried different Notes mail databases -- nothing seems to re-enable the syncing.
I'm guessing that there is some entry in my calendar that is causing the sync program to barf. If I could discover what it is that's causing the problem, I could probably fix it.
Is there any way to get some more verbose logging or to find any additional detail to help diagnose what is causing this problem?
Solved!

Hi Ricardo,
I couldn't go that far yet. Called the tech support in USA (I found out this forum is Europe) and they told me that my e71 is from Malaysia and my update software is from USA. Not know if this where the issues are. I delete all the entries in my calendar and try sync the calendar again. It stops right at the same place. Now my entries are totally gone.
So I use the Malaysia PC Suite update (removed all Nokia related softwares in my laptop) and installed the Malaysia update version. Still stop right at the same place which is "Microsoft" "outlook0.ost" file saying that I do not have the permission.
I noticed that in my "cellphone memory" there was a "Data" folder with a folder "{66de788c-2956-11db-962d-00e08161165f}Relocated". What is this? Could it be the cause of sync problems?
The USA tech support suggested that I format the "cellphone memory" using " *#7370# ". What will be consequence after format it?

Itunes 7.7 IPod Touch 2.0 - Will not sync calendars with Outlook 2003

All was fine until I upgraded both my Itunes to 7.7 and the IPod Touch firmware to 2.0. My Outlook Calendars and Contacts sync'ed perfect back and forth between Outlook on my XP machine and my Touch.
Now calendars will not synch. I've spent a day searching the web for answers and have tried all the suggestions. No luck.
Why is Apple blantantly ignoring this problem? I'm not the only person in the universe with this issue. Do a Google search - it's an epidemic.

YES!!! Finally, someone else is seeing this. And, for the record, they aren't "bugs", they are "undocumented features". Seriously, though, I had this problem with my podcasts not syncing right and it turned out that there was a new "feature" that would add podcasts to your iPod if they showed up in a playlist (and a few of my Smart Playlists had podcasts in them). Anyway, my point is, I'm wondering if there's not just some new setting or "feature" that we're all overlooking. It took weeks before someone came up with the answer on the podcast question. And the fact that contacts are syncing right means that it is AT LEAST communicating with Outlook. I thought at first it had something to do with the "push" setting, but turning that off didn't change anything...
What have you tried?

IPhone will not sync photos with iPhoto 8

When I sync the iphone I get this error message: "The iPhone '[user]'s iPhone' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." Everything except photos are transferred from the mac to the iphone. Photos on the iphone camera roll are transferred to iPhoto, but nothing comes back. I have tried erasing, restoring, starting as new iphone, etc. but nothing helps.
Anyone have any ideas?

Well, I tried all the suggestions you all made. Nothing helped. Then, while helping my sleepy little boy go potty, the phone slipped out of my pocket and straight into the loo.
Oh well... Now the solution is just academic for me.
Thanks to all.

Sync issues with LR5/iMac and iPad (IOS 8.1)

I have been using published folder to sync my photos with my iPad and iPhone, and for the past two years, it's been working fine but lately, something has gone awry. For some reason, now when I edit a photo in LR and it republishes the photo (as a jpeg), itunes simply doesnt see the phtot and it disappears from the folder on the ipad. Yes, the new publised photo is in the iMac and it appears just like the photos before and after it, but iTunes doesn't send it over. I have tried manually exporting these photos to a different folder to see if it will bring them over, but they still wont come. I've tried renaming as well, but still no luck; it's almost as if LR is creating some strange jpeg that iTunes cannot see.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My iPhone will not sync calendar AND changes times by one hour

Have read numerous threads and see this is a chronic problem for others.
I have a Mac Pro, OS 10.6.8, don't use iCloud, do use calendar, which used to sync with the iPhone just fine.
Have an iPhone 4S, OS 7.0.4.
On the phone, the calendar pushes the time of events BACK by an hour, even if I input it on the phone correctly in the first place.
The iPhone and computer are both set to Eastern Standard Time (correct).
At the recommendation of one support thread, in iCal preferences on the computer, I went to Advanced and selected "Turn on time zone support." This did not solve the problem.
The computer and phone do not appear to be syncing, ie an event in the iPhone calendar is not showing up on the computer's iCal.
Have missed appointments due to this nonsense. HELP!

Check the Mac:
System Preferences > Date & Time > [Date & Time tab] > Set Automatically = checked
