Oddities with syncing calendars through iPhone. Unexpectedly a host of events and entries disappeared.

In the last few days the syncing process of calendars (iPhone and MacPowerbook) through iTunes suddenly ends up deleting (or perhaps merely not displaying) a host of historical and even current events. This is most disconcerting if one relies on Calendar as one's main agenda. I have made sure all active calendars have been ticked.

that is why you shoudl reply on google calendar and use iphone calendars to sync to google calendar instead. so if you ever need your events, you can always access them on the web.

Having trouble with syncing calendars between iPhone 5s, iPad, MacBook Pro after changing apple id

I signed out of an old apple id on my iPhone 5s and signed in with a current apple id. Backed up my iPhone to the cloud. After this, I lost the calendar information on my MacBook Pro (Phone and MacBook Pro used to have calendars that were synced). I also signed in to an iPad with this current apple id. I have checked the apple id that I am signed into on all 3 devices (iPhone 5s, MacBook Pro, iPad 2) and it is the same on all 3. The phone has my calendar info. The MacBook Pro and the iPad are blank, but they do communicate because I can send a test appointment and it will show up on the MacBook Pro and the iPad but not the phone.
Contacts were not affected. I have the contacts on all three devices.
I have gone thru most of the troubleshooting on the apple website.
Help!

I just tried and it says that it's not available But I do not have another Apple ID. "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID." The only thing I did that started this nightmare was go into Apple ID and click edit for email and enter the new one. That's it.
Because your old AppleID is used used an you alternate email.
Remove it as your alternate email.

ITunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

error message
iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
I have spoken to Apple a couple of times in the last week (approx 2hr) apple support said it could be a Microsoft issue I have spoken to Microsoft and read endless information from the net and it seems that Microsoft is not the issue.
I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, reset all settings in Settings\General on the phone, reset sync history on the iPhone, upgraded microsoft office 2003 to 2007 and I am still getting the error message.
I have a iPhone 3G, pc is running windows 7 and just upgraded to microsoft office Home and Student 2007 and Office Outlook 2007.
iTunes version 11.0.2.26
iPhone iOS 6.1.3
I have the same error on my wife's iPhone as well.
Any help would be great.

Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue.

Error while merging data problem while syncing calendars to iPhone

My iTunes just recently updated itself to iTunes 12, I'm using OS X Mavericks on a Macbook Pro, and have an iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1.1.
Whenever I try to sync my calendars from my laptop onto my phone, I get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data". I'm not sure if it's an issue with iTunes or my phone...but everything else syncs normally.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!!

hi there,
i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
and turn back on (MERGE!)
now SYNC it..
and that's it
PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

One thing that might help.
1. open itunes preferences from the edit menu and click on the devices tab.
2. check the box to disable syncing for iphones connected to itunes and click ok.
3. Then click the button to reset sync history.
4. Now click ok to close the preferences window.
5. connect the iphone to itunes and go to the info tab.
6. scroll to the bottom of the info page and check the box to replace the ical data on the iphone.

This will overwrite any events on the iphone, including any events that has become corrupted.
Hope this helps

ITunes 8.1 won't sync calendars to iPhone for me

I just installed iTunes 8.1(50) and am trying to synch my iPhone. It appears to synch everything except for calendars. After synching is completed, iTunes displays an alert saying: "iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone 'Darrin's iPhone' because an error occurred while sending data from the iPhone."

Hi,
Really **bleep** off with this issue in synchronizing , I move back to my old PC suite that worked fine .
I expect our NOKIA provider to be back on their code and solve this issue.
At least, one mail to me warning me of corrections with this issue and improved performances would not be considered by me as spam but as consideration to users .
Sorry dear developpers but either your specs were uncomplete, at least performance criterias were undefined and you businees acceptance test were unproperly managed. I would not like to be the project manager in charge of ! Just before Christmas, providing such a release will make Santa Klaus quite unhappy top him .

Recent problem with syncing calendar items created on iPhone

For a couple of months I had iPhone/Outlook syncing working well, but just recently I noticed that new calendar items created on my PC sync to my iPhone, but calendar items created (or changed) on my iPhone do not appear in my Outlook calendar. I seem to still be able to create contacts on my iPhone and have them appear in Outlook, so this problem is restricted to calendar entries. Since this is recent and there were also recent iTunes/iPhones updates, I am guessing that they are related to this new problem. Has anyone seen anything similar and does anyone have a suggestion?

I am also having issues with Calendar items after the latest patch. It seems that recently added appointments to Outlook 2003 do not replicate to the iPhone. My recurring appointments are fine and I have 3 conflicts which I have reconciled 4-5 times now.
I have repaired my .pst, I have removed my sync point on the iPhone twice.. nothing works!

Syncing calendars from iPhone5s and iPad. Syncing calendars from iPhone 4 with mac

Can I sync my calendar from my iPhone 5 with my iPad? If so, how?
Also, can I sync calendars from my iPhone 4 with my mac? If so, how?

Hi hpd0203,
There are a number of different ways of syncing calendars between your Apple devices. One of the easiest ways is to use iCloud. See this article for an introduction -

Sync Calendar with Windows Calendar on iPhone

Hello, does anyone know how to sync calendar information from iPhone to Windows Calendar (in Vista)?
Thanks

You can't. On Windows only Outlook is supported.

HT1386 Can you assist me with sync from my iphone to pc? I want my data to merge, but contacts and calendar are not updating

Where are the settings to merge data (calendar and contacts) when syncing phone to pc?

Hello Mary,
It is definitely inconvenient when your contacts are not syning over correctly. If you are using iTunes to sync Outlook to your iPhone, I recommend the following article to troubleshoot the issue:

"...could not sync calendars because iPhone disconnected."

Anyone gotten this message? I plug in my iPhone and it shows up in iTunes. I click sync and it starts, but then I get the message that it couldn't sync because the "iPhone disconnected." But it didn't!! I've tried restarting the computer, and even did a restore on the iPhone (grumble, grumble!) but no dice.
Can't find this in support topics, either. Any suggestions? MUCH appreciated.
I'm on an iMac with OS 10.4.10, and I have run software update. Also made sure the iPhone was up to date.

If your iphone will not sync ical and throws an error saying the iphone has disconnected, there are a few steps to follow to see what in ical is kicking out the iphone. There is something ( an event, alert ...) that has become corrupted and itunes does not like it, so it disconnects the iphone.
Try these steps to narrow down the offending calendar and/or event.
1. create a new calendar in ical. Name it test, iphone or something.
2. uncheck all your calendars in ical, so you can only view the events in the new calendar
3. put a test event in the new calendar ( in the future). Call it Test 1.
4. connect up your iphone and set the iphone to sync only to that new calendar.
5. In the info tab that shows up when the iphone is connected, make sure to sync ical calendars is checked
6. Set it to sync only selected calendars.
7. in the window that shows all the calendars, only have the new calendar checked.
8. put a check mark in the box not to sync items older than... Set it to 1 day.
9. Now click apply in the bottom right side of itunes. (this will see if the iphone can sync to ical)
10. Once you have established that the iphone can sync, go back into the info tab and uncheck the new calendar created and check only one of your old calendars.
11. Click apply and try to sync the iphone to that particular calendar.
12. Keep unchecking a calendar that syncs and check a different calendar until you run across a calendar that does not sync. The one that gives you a disconnect error.
13. Now that you've narrowed it down to the offending calendar, you know that it has to do with an event from yesterday and forward.
14. Go back to ical and put a check mark in the calendar that is giving the issue. So now you see the new calendar created and the offending calendar.
15. Now you need to figure out which event/events that are causing the problem.
16. Start moving events over a few at a time to the newly created calendar and sync the iphone only to the new calendar. You can move events 2 ways.
16A. if you have the tray to the side expanded so you can view the details of the event, you can change what calendar it is in.
16B. At the bottom of ical there is a button to the right that allows you to view all evens in a list view. You can right-click or control-click on the event and move to a different calendar.
17. Keep following step 16 until you receive the the disconnect error.
18. When you get the disconnect error again, you know that the last batch of events has the offending, or one of the offending, event/events.
If you run through all of your calendars and do not receive the disconnected error, then the data that was disconnecting the iphone was older data.
Also, if the iphone will not sync to the new calendar, you might want to reset your sync history in the isync preferences.
I hope this helps out a bit.

Syncing calendars to iphone

Recently my calendar will not sync to my iphone. I put it in the dock and then I get the message in itunes saying " syncing calendars with iphone" but the process never gets completed. It stays like this for hours. I have even left it overnight and it still was syncing in the morning. I don't have a large amount of calendar entries either. I tried restoring my iphone and that did not work either.
Any suggestions??

I had a similar problem a while back and someone here helped me through it. That's the good news. The bad news is I don't know who and I don't remember what they said exactly. It was something to the effect of going into iTunes and checking a box to synch calendars. This basically purged my events in the phone and forced a synch of my PC events to the phone. It worked. I believe it was under, as in scroll down, mail items. Play around with that and hopefully the person who helped me will show up again. Good Luck. I know how frustrating this can be.
