Network (not desktop) sync of calendar - thru whatever?

OK. I joined this forum to ask this one question, which Apple should just post at the top in a sticky. I've googled and read and searched and looked at KBs and read many of the threads posted here. The information that I've found is not encouraging. I would like just one clear coherent response.
Does Apple currently support network/push/active/online/wireless updating of calendar and contacts?
If I cannot get a calendar that updates the calendar dynamically, at least every 15 to 20 minutes, without me plugging the phone into a cable, then I want the message to Apple to be CLEAR: I WILL NOT BUY THIS PHONE.
SO...what's the answer?

No you have to plug and sync your phone into Itunes to get update from your phone to your computer and your computer to your phone. Not like a Black Berry.
You might be able to do this with a hacked phone, but it would no longer be covered by apple.
As for telling apple you won't buy because of its limitation... ha ha ha they don't care much. you can go the the feedback page a give them a bit of your mind.

  • Desktop sync for calendar

    Hi everyone.
    This is my first post.  I have a user who is connected through wireless sync through the BES but he wants to be setup to sync his calendar from his pc since he is connected to the domain through a vpn tunnel.  Everytime I set his handheld to disable wireless sync for the calendar it works, but when I hook it up to the machine and configure the sync options for the calendar it doesnt work.  It says it is disabling it because wireless sync is configured.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    So you go into the Calendar Options and set the wireless sync to No, and it still gives you that error?
    Can you try first starting by leaving the BlackBerry disconnected from the computer, then changing the setting to No, then do into the Desktop Manager and make the change?

  • My iPhone will not longer sync my calendars

    My iPhone4 will no longer sync my calendars with my iMac.

    My problem comes and goes. Everything syncs perfectly across platforms then suddenly one "calendar" in the cloud disappears from my iphone. I haven't changed any settings, so it has to be a bug in the software or a glitch in the cloud.
    This morning I see that a scheduled appointment randomly disappeared from my phone. This is a BIG problem for business users.

  • Calendar data in desktop DISAPPEARED, now Calendar will not sync at all.

    The first problem is that after a successful hotsync, all data in Calendar desktop is gone.  I tried to restore the data by syncing one way from the Treo 680, but it locks up during the sync.  It stops at the point where it says "6 of 16 files", then I have to use the Task manager to stop it and restart the computer. All other applications work fine and will sync just fine if I disable Calendar in the conduit.
    I have Windows Vista, 32 bit, a Palm Treo 680 unlocked, a Palm Tx, and am using Palm version 6.2.2.
    I do not see all the data in the .mdb file. It only has 392 KB.  My .mdb.bak file has 6642 KB, but it won't copy over.  I am not familiar with these new Vista files, so I don't want to mess with them.  In XP, you could copy and paste or change the .bak to .dat and vice versa. 
    I have tried live Chat and have spent almost 10 hours with them trying many different things.  PLEASE HELP ME. 
    I've tried dbScan, which showed no corrupt files in my device, I've tried syncing to another computer, but that computer has xp and Palm 4.1.2, and won't work.  I did have 4.2 on this computer, it didn't sync and the analyst had me install 4.2.2.  It's the 4.2 program that is locking up whenever I try to sync the calendar.  I've tried reinstalling the program, and tried many soft resets on the device.
    One analyst told me NOT to use 4.2 with Vista, another analyst told me TO use 4.2 and to reinstall it.  One analyst had me perform the dbScan, another analyst told me that program wouldn't find corrupt files.  One analyst told me to delete my user name, another told me that if I did that I would lose all my data in all the applications because the user name is linked with my data. One analyst told me to change the registry keys, another told me not to touch them if I didn't know what I was doing in there.  One analyst told me to try a hard reset on my device, but I really don't want to completely lose all my data.  When I explained that I have 2 devices, and how could both devices become corrupt at the same time, but work fine in other applications, he then said the Palm desktop was at fault. Now, he wants me to reinstall the 4.2, copy over the data from my old computer with xp (but that database isn't my current one), and restart anew.  I am not willing to try this until someone assures me that this will fix the problem.  As I said before, it was the 4.2 program that gave me problems in the first place.
    Thank you for your help.

    "What is 6 of 16 that is locking up, I don't believe it is datebook and if that is the case you can disable that conduit temporarily so you can sync your datebook over, if it is datebook, then I would try a program called dbfixit you can get it from www.pimlicosoftware.com I don't know about dbscan and how well it is, but I find dbfixit to be a wonderful tool to find any corruption. " 
    Well, I don't know.  I am assuming it is 6 of 16 files that need to be synced.  I'm just telling you what the hotsync window says at the point that it locks up. 
    How do I disable the conduit and still have the datebook sync?  If it's disabled, how would it sync at all?  I have set the datebook to "do nothing" and the other applications sync just fine, but not datebook.
    I will try the dbfixit as long as you can assure me it won't erase data.  Thank you

  • I have always synced my calendars on my ipad 2 ios 7 to those on my desktop mini running   OS 10.6.8. Now my calendars do not sync from the ipad to the mini. I need to have them coordinated

    I have always synced my calendars on my ipad 2 ios 7 to those on my desktop mini running   OS 10.6.8. Now my calendars do not sync from the ipad to the mini. I need to have them coordinated

    Because I have been a Mac user since 1989, I have many, many docs that are created in programs not campatible with 10. 7, so I still use a manual sync with snow leopard and my ipad, not the cloud as it is not available on snow leopard. I am signed on in both places with my one ID and password

  • Desktop manager for mac not syncing with calendar

    Desktop manager just started to give me a sync error yesterday when syncing the calendar. I receive no error message for the contacts. I use desktop manager for mac. I have never had this issue before. I updated desktop manager yesterday after the sync error but, that did not correct the problem.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the reply yancy.
    What error message are you receiving?  Are you only synchronizing to Ical or Entourage?
    Also have you attempted to forget the device and the re-setup the synchronization?  
    To forget the device, go into Device>Forget Device.  Unplug the BlackBerry, plug it back into the Mac.
    I look forward to your reply.

  • TS2481 How do I sync google calendar with Ipad 2 thru the cloud. Used to work, but now I've lost it. Maybe a setting?

    What setting do I use on my Ipad 2 and Iphone 3GS to enable google calendar to sync thru Icloud between my 2 devices? Thank you!

    Hey JonC84
    Thanks for the question. You can definitely sync your new iPod touch with the local calendar on your computer (you won't need to setup an account like iCloud). The following article may help you achieve this:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
    You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
    Calendars
    To sync calendars with your computer, choose "Sync Calendars" or "Sync iCal Calendars."
    - When syncing calendars, you can sync all calendars or sync specific calendars.
    - You can limit the data that is synced to only events that have occurred in the last 30 days. The option can be changed to any number of days.
    For additional information, see this article (while the article refers to iTunes 11, most steps are applicable for you):

  • Using DeskTop Software to Sync my calendar

    I recently purchased a new laptop. Previously I used the desktop software to sync my Microsoft Outlook calendar. I decided not to purchase Outlook this time and am using Windows Live Mail. However, when I sync, my calendar isn't updating on my phone (BB curve 8530) My carrier is Verizon and version is v5.0.0.973. Can anyone answer the question -am I able to sync my Live calendar and if so how?

    BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
    BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
    Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
    For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

  • Versamail Exchange ActiveSync wireless push e-mail ONLY; Sync Contacts/Calendar via Desktop/USB

    I use a 3rd party conduit, PalmPilot Link for Commence RM CRM software from Commence Corp. which works with the Palm Desktop sync engine to sync my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos. Recently I tested VersaMail 3.5.5 on my Rogers Treo 680 (despite zero support from Rogers) with push e-mail and loved it until I discovered I could no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar with Commence. Even with the options in VersaMail to sync Contacts and the Calendar unchecked they would not sync via the USB cable to Commence.
    I have come across Palm Article ID: 42600 which states "Once you establish an Exchange ActiveSync account in VersaMail, you will not be able to sync Calendar, Contacts or Email through the USB HotSync cable". It would be nice if this wasn't the case when synching of Contacts and the Calendar are turned off. A call to technical support confirmed there is no way to do what I need with the current product version.
    I have found a competitive product, RoadSync from DataViz does allow me to sync ONLY e-mail with ActiveSync so it would seem to be technically possible.  The problem with RoadSync is it's not a true push e-mail on the Treo 680 as far as I can tell and it seems a little pricey with fewer features than VersaMail, except for one feature which is very important to anyone who depends on 3rd party conduits.
    Please consider releasing a new version or a patch to allow synching Contacts and the Calendar via USB while using Exchange ActiveSync push e-mail.
    Note: The Commence CRM product for Windows has been around for almost 20 years and has supported the Palm OS for about 10 years. Commence users everywhere would love this feature in VersaMail. I do not work for Commence Corp. but have been a user since 1991 and a Palm user since 1999.

  • After 60 days, Blackberry Desktop Sync deletes all appointments in Lotus Notes desktop. Help!

    This is a problem that I just discovered.  I understand why appointments older than 60 days are deleted from the database on my Curve 6330.  However, I just discovered that whenever I sync with my Lotus Notes calendar, the Blackberry Desktop software is also deleting calendar appointments on on my Lotus Notes desktop calendar that are more than 60 days old.  My Lotus notes desktop calendar is my sole record of old appointments.  How can I set up Blackberry Desktop to sync calendar entries (including task entries and memo entries) without also deleting calendar (and task entries for that matter) entries that are more than 60 days old from my Lotus Notes desktop.   Many thanks!

      I have provided some information below that may help.
    Step 1 – If you have a previous backup saved on the Curve, I would recommend trying to restore that backup.
    Step 2 – Ensure the songs are placed on the SD card.
    Step 3 – Ensure the songs are not controlled by DRM. Files controlled by DRM cannot be copied to the BlackBerry smartphone, and are not recognized on Blackberry smartphones.

  • The ipod could not be sync because the ipod could not be found on the network

    I plugged my ipod touch (4 gen) into my computer to  sync and charge and itunes will not sync it any more.  I the the error: the ipod could not be sync because the ipod could not be found on the network.  It says it backed up on 11/4/13 which was just 5 days ago, but it won't let me back up or restore now at this point.  It will charge the battery but that is all. Anyone know  how to correct this problem?

    Are yo set up to sync via USB vice wifi?
    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.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another USB port and cable
    - 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:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do I *not* sync selected calendars with my iPhone?

    I have separate work and home calendars, and I would like to sync both with my iPhone.
    The hitch is that I want my work calendar to appear on my home computer when synced but I do not want my home calendar to appear on my work computer when synced. Is that possible?
    Thank you

    That is not possible, iTunes will give you the option to replace calendars on the iPhone with calendars from the PC or merge them.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    The best way to do this would be syncing the work calendar to the home computer without using the iPhone.

  • Outlook Sync issue - Calendar Note Field not synci...

    Hello
    I recently bough a 6233.
    Very happy with the phone BUT for one issue.
    I work from two offices and planned to use the phone to carry meeting & appointment data between two computers (syncing both).
    When I sync with outlook the large notes field at the bottom of each calendar item is not synchronised. This imho is a vital field.
    Searching this forum, I have noticed quite a few others with the same problem. Has this been fixed/rectified?
    Using:
    Nokia PC Suite 6.82.22.0
    Outlook 2003 (all the latest updates)
    Win XP (all the latest updates)Message Edited by iogrady2 on 15-Jan-2007

    Hi,
    I am just wondering if anything has changed in the year or so since the last posting?
    I have recently bought an E61i and I am seeing similar behaviour when I try synchronising with Outlook 2003. I have the latest PC suite installed.
    To be more precise:
    I can create a notes entry in the calendar item on my PC. It WILL sync to the E61i. But if I edit that field on the E61, it WILL NOT sync back to the PC.
    Interestingly though, I can create a fresh calendar entry, put something in the description field and that will sync to the PC. I can edit that on the PC and it will sync back to the E61i. But if I then change it on the E61i it WILL NOT sync back to the PC.
    Note that I can change other calendar attributes (eg the meeting time) and that always syncs correctly. It's just the notes that behave this way.
    I get the same same behaviour for contacts. I can change someone's phone number on the PC or E61i and it will sync to the other. But changes to the notes field only sync from the PC to the E61i.
    Lastly, the story is the same for Outlook notes.
    My next step would be a remove/re-install in case something happened. (I used to be using Microsoft ActiveSync for my WM5 device - with the E61i replaced - so maybe there's something left over from that). But before I did that, I wanted to check to see if what I am seeing is expected (ie consistent with others).
    Thanks

  • How do I sync my calendar between iPhone and Mac on Mavericks? The postings I've seen so far are not showing me how to do this simple thing! Apple used to be easy to use - not so much any more

    I am trying to sync my calendar between the mac and my iphone now that I have upgraded to Mavericks. I understand that I have to use iCloud (which I am not at all excited about) but I'll be damned if I can find out how to do it.  I've read several postings in the community but they point me to broad troubleshooting pages and I can't find anything that simply tells me how to get my calendar into icloud to begin with and then how to sync.  i was pretty happy syncing dircetly through itunes.  I am feeling very sour about Apple right now.

    Actually it is pretty easy to do through iCloud,
    On your Mac(s)
    System Preferences > iCloud
    Be sure the services you want to sync through iCloud are checked
    click on Account Details and be sure your Apple ID is correct
    On your iPhone
    Settings > iCloud
    Account -- Verify the Apple ID is the same one you set in System Preferences on your Mac(s)
    turn the services you want to sync throug iClound or ON. These should match the ones you set in System Preferences on your Mac
    On your iPad
    Settings > iCloud
    Account -- Verify the Apple ID is the same one you set in System Preferences on your Mac(s)
    turn the services you want to sync throug iClound or ON. These should match the ones you set in System Preferences on your Mac
    That is literally all there is to it. The first sync will occur when your iPhone or iPad is plugged into power and on WiFi. After that any change made on one of the synched devices will appear on all of the other synched devices the first time they have an internet connection.
