No longer syncing contacts and calendars between devices

Since purchasing iPhone 6 and installing all updates in that, iPad, and MacBook Air, Calendar and Contacts do not sync between the devices and iCloud. I enter new events and contacts in the computer or one of the others, and that's where they stay. Previous instructions do not correspond to the options in the current devices. Please advise.

Hey missychaz,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iCloud Calendar. The following resource may provide a solution. All of the information is relevant for iOS 8 (simply follow the instructions titled for iOS 7):

Since upgrading to maverick I have had problems syncing contacts and calendar between devices

After recent apple support ref:532791559 my macpro will exchange these items between icloud and macpro but now I find I cannot exchange data between my iphone (IOS7) and ipad (IOS7)
In above apple support created new accounts etc to arrange connection but now I have lost the other two items. All three were working perfectly with icloud before updating. Sorry Apple but this is a blunder!!!

Hi,
Thank you for taking an interest in my problem.
What actually transpired was my Macpro (contacts) would not update after I put changes in to contacts in either iphone or ipad. Apple checked and discovered that changes made in either macPro (contacts) and contacts(cloud.com) did not talk to each other so concentrated on this.
The rep had me signout of my macpro user account, and create a temp new user to which I signed into my icloud account as normal. Then, changes in either macpro or cloud.com now worked. He then did some changes at his end and after exiting the temp user and resigning in as origal macpro user this now made changes to each other. OK. We then deleted the temp user and this worked! but since then I have discovered that iphone and ipad now do not change icloud.com contacts or calendar so would not of course change contacts on macpro!
Other services on icloud (photo stream, mail, docs and data, find my ----, etc) all function with my iphone (so have to presume my ipad also, but this is not with me at this time) so the problem is confined to just contacts and calendar.
In summary, I do have only one icloud address but which appears to have two sets of data as the devices will communicate with something but not altogether!!
I am thoroughly confused, especially as it was all fine until I upgraded from M\Lion to Mavericks on my shiny new macpro a few weeks ago. I had moved from Windows to Apple to avoid just such problems.
Not enamoured with Apple at the moment, but thank you for your assistance - hope this is a better explanation.
Kind Regards

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

HT203300 Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 no longer syncs contacts and calendars after upgrading to Yosemite

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 no longer syncs contacts and calendars through iTunes after upgrading to Yosemite. It worked fine until I made the mistake of upgrading. Help!?

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
The many "failed" or "killed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews are not a reason to reinstall the OS.
The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What other changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
Here is one way

Here is another

Here is yet another
If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed

Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

How to sync Contacts and Calendars between 2 computers and ipod?

I'm having difficulty syncing contacts on 2 computers and an iPod. Although I'm able to sync contacts from an iBook (G4/OS10.4) to an iPod Classic, when I attempt to sync the iPod to an empty address book on an Mac Pro (Intel/OS10.4) the synch goes the wrong way (and deletes the contacts on the iPod. What gives? Is there any way to sync the contacts on all 3 devices (iPod and 2 computers)? If so, how?
Same questions for Calendar...
Thanks.

As Julian points out, the present means of synchronization under Mac OS X 10.4 and later involves an entirely different technology than that originally used. You can read a technology brief here.
It has nothing at all to do with your perceived 'greed' on the part of Apple. Your iPod is essentially a read-only device, and cannot push changes back to the framework.
As he points out, there are third-party alternatives to explore, including multiuser packages of BusySync and the use of individual Google calendar accounts as intermediaries for single-user remote cross-platform synchronization.

Syncing of Contacts and Calendars between devices

I have an iphone, ipad2 and a Mac Mini all of which sync properly with each other when using CONTACTS.
When using Calendar iphone and ipad2 sync with each other and the Mac Mini but data entered into the Mac mini is not synced with the iphomne or ipad2 - WHy as the sync works for Contacts exactly as it should?

How can i better manage and sync contacts and calendars between iPhone, iMac, Macbook air and iPad?

Hello I love MAC products and own quite a few but am still having a tough time synchronizing everything "under the same common roof" despite using "icloud". Does anyone have 4 duplicates for the same contact on an 1000 contact database (with Group contacts, MAC contacts, Icloud contacts etc...) what a headache!Thanks for any suggestions.

Simply on the iPhone in the iCloud preferences turn off the contacts sync. It will ask if u wanna delete or not the contacts on the iphone. You answer to leave the Contacts on iphone. After that proceed to delete all contacts from all u're other devices and the iCloud site. A way to do it fast is to deselect the contact sync on icloud options in every device and when asked tell to delete the contacts from device. When u're sure that all other devices contacts are clean turn again on the contacts sync on the iCloud preferences for each device and at last the iPhone. After few the iPhone contacts will be sync to other device so u'll have same Contacts on all device. In this way when u'll made a change on one of u're device all other will have same change.

Re: sync contacts and calendar

I have an imac using snow leopard (because several of my photo editing programs will not yet work with lion) and a macbook air with lion. Just got a new iphone that I can sync via icloud with the laptop. Problem is my contacts and calendar are all on my imac that cannot use icloud. Any way I can sync contacts and calendar between the imac and laptop on the same home network without using icloud -- and then sync the laptop to the iphone with icloud?

Not unless you upgrade the iMac to Lion v10.7.2 first.

Taking FOREVER to sync contacts and calendar with 3G, Itunes8, Leopard

I recently switched from the original iPhone to the 3G model. No problems. Happy with the phone. I also recently "upgraded" to iTunes 8.0. Not happy.
I have about 500 contacts on my computer (running iCal and MS Entourage) and hundreds of appointments in my calendar. It used to take maybe 10 min to sync my phone and macbook pro. now it has been running 45 min and is STILL synching the calendar.
what the heck is going on? anyone else having this problem? Also, I recently (yesterday) upgraded to 10.5.5 but this was happening on 10.5.4 also.
I'm stumped, and I haven't got time to look at this stupid "synch" message all day.
thanks

Can I sync contacts and calendars with iTunes Match enabled?

I’m getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks and really want iTunes match but the more I read about it the more I’m wondering whether it’ll be worth the hassle. I’ve loads of old CD rips at 128 kbps and protected iTunes files, also at 128 kbps, and what really attracts me is the idea of upgrading all these to unprotected 256 kbps.
I have a Macbook for personal use and a PC for work, being able to sync both computers to the phone will be essential for me. I know that I wouldn’t be able to sync music with iTunes match enabled but if I can sync contacts and calendars and drag Office documents to the phone from both computers that would be OK.
Please could someone tell me whether this would be possible?

I think I understand now, it's nothing to do with syncing music - everything is synced through iTunes. Have I understood properly?
Yes. Including music.

This could be a major blow for me as I'll be using the iPhone mainly for work so I will have to Sync with the PC. If I understand this correctly, once I decide to sync with Outlook on the PC as the main priority I can no longer sync with the Macbook?
What if I ditch iCloud and sync everything through USB?
If it is possible for you to do so you might want to consider signing up for an iCloud account <http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html>. Keep in mind that iCloud and iTunes Match are seperate services. One does not require the other. However iCloud will work with Outlook 2007 and up so you can keep all your contacts in sync across the devices. You can also sign up for iTunes Match if you want. Or you might even consider using Google to do what you want. It is not necessary for you to keep syncing via USB, unless that is just what you are comfortable doing.

Can't sync contacts and calendar

Hello,
I am using OVI 2.2.0.241 and it is failing to sync contacts and calendar:
Error code for contacts: 80043b21
Error code for calendar: 80043bd4
It doesn't sync anything between the device and ovi. I updated a contact in OVI, but it was not updated on my phone
I am using Office 2010 64x under Windows 7 64x. Language is PT-BR in all aplications.
My phone is N95 8GB V30.0.018
Let me know if any more info is necessary.

Hi Guys
Look, I don't know if this will help perhaps.
We use Novell Groupwise (a stupid system if you ask me) at work and I finally got Outlook and Groupwise to be happy together concerning email. None of my problems were Outlook or MS issue, everything was Novell's fault. Then I had a lot of trouble getting my N8's calendar to sync to Outlook from Nokia Suite v 3.4.49, again this was Novell's fault.
So my solution was to create a dummy account in Outlook, which I only use for my calendar....and no problem.
The dummy account I set up uses my actual email address as a POP3 account with the correct server information. But I set it to ask for a password everytime and I set the port number to be deliberately incorrect. So now, I have a calendar that syncs, no problem and I have my work email in outlook from Novell that works no problem (except for the occasional crash, again Novell's fault). It is a slight compromise, because everytime Outlook Sends/Receives, it gives and error on the dummy account I created; but I just ignore this.
I can't quite understand why you can't create a calendar in Outlook that is not linked to an email address?
I hope this helps? or gives you an idea to a solution.
P.S. I think Nokia completely messed up the N8 with software. It was an absolutely stunning phone when it came out of the box; and as the newer software versions came out, the phone went downhill.

Sync contacts and calendar

I have a iPod 5th Gen Video and a iPod Touch. When I try to sync contacts and calendar it does not work. I get a message pop up saying "cannot sync calendar. Log out & log back in". I am using Windows Vista and the latest iTunes and Outlook 2003.
Now at work I use Win XP and Outlook 2003 and both iPods sync contacts and calendar from Outlook perfectly. So is this an issue with Vista?
Any help will be appreciated.
