Possible bug when syncing between iCal & iPhone

Am I doing something wrong. Here's the scenario.
I have set up a continuous repeating appointment in iCal for my daughter
Mon-Fri inclusive. 'School'
I then went and changed selected events to 'Summer Holiday' where applicable, each time I changed a day it asked whether I wanted to change 'Just this event' or 'All future events'.
I selected 'Just this event'.
iCal worked fine and showed the new event on the correct days, but when I synced with the iPhone, the iPhone showed two events, the original repeating event and now the amended event as a new one. After the sync iCal still showed as correct
It seems to be a flaw in the sync between the iPhone and iCal.
Does this make sense?
Can anyone else duplicate this scenario, or am I doing something wrong?
What is the best way to report this to Apple as a sync bug, if it is one?
cheers for listening to this waffle

Yes, I've experience the same problem. In addition, when I enter a calendar event in iCal it syncs to the iPhone. When I enter a calendar event in the iPhone it does NOT sync to iCal on my intel based macbook. I've followed the "iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant" to the end without fixing the problem.

  • When syncing between my iphone

    Last time I tried to sync my computer and iphone it erased any new information I had from my contacts, addresses, phone #'s and dates on calendar.  I retried several times and I never got my information back.  Is there some way to get back my old data?  Also, what am I doing wrong with my sync?  I have done the sync in the past and never had this happen.  Could there be a problem with an update?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    It erased the data on both the phone and computer!!!

    Check your Settings on both devices. Is iCloud's calender sync turned on (Settings > iCloud > Calendar)? Please make also sure that you are not only using local calendars.

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

  • Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Not sure exactly what you are going for...
    You're aware you need to use iTunes to sync apps between your iPhone and Mac unless you are running V10.7.2 and have iCloud setup.
    BTW...  apps that are optimized for an iPhone will not run on the Mac OS X and vice versai, two different operating systems.
    It really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help. Thanks!

  • ICal won't sync between computers / iphones

    Since I started my free trial with mobileme, I have been trying to synch calendars between two desktop computers and two iPhones. No luck.
    I have established a number of calendars on my me.com account, using my iMac. I also share these calendars with only those people I invite. I can see these calendars on the iCal on my iMac, but I cannot see these calendars on my MacBook Pro iCal. When I open an email on my MacBook Pro, alerting me to the Mobile Me calendar, I cannot join that calendar: "You can't join calendars you're sharing."
    So how can I get all of the calendars to sync between both computers? If I resolve that problem, maybe the iPhone sync will resolve itself.

    I got some help from MobileMe Support. Here's how they solved the problem.
    On the laptop, open iCal and click the word iCal at top of the screen. Choose Preferences. 2. Click Accounts. 3. Click the plus button at the bottom of the page. 4. From the "Account Type," please choose "CalDAV." Enter your full MobileMe email address, including the @me.com suffix. If you don't include @me.com, the setup will not be successful. 5. Enter your MobileMe password. 6. For the Server address, please enter: cal.me.com 6. Click the Create button.

  • I cannot get iBooks to sync between my iPhone 4 & IPad

    After reinstalling iBooks on my iPhone and iPad, I still cannot get them to sync between one another via ios5. Syncing is even on in settings on both devices.

    I'm having a similar problem. None of my music from my CDs is syncing and it gets stuck on the "waiting for changes to be applied" stage. It's also rendered some music already on my iPod unplayable, but not deleted it. It just skips through it quickly when I click on it.
    I don't have many suggestions for help, none have worked for me, but some people say maybe try and restore from a past back up? It could iron out any bugs in the newest updates. Didn't work for me, but worked for others. If you look through the fourm though, you'll find loads od people with similar problems to ours and more problems. Apple really need to sort there sh*t out.

  • Inconsistent/one-way sync between new iPhone and MS Exchange

    So this is weird. When I use my work PC and add a calendar item in MS Office, the exchange server (which is synced to my iPhone) sends the calendar item to my phone. But when I add a calendar item on my phone, it does not appear in my PC laptop's Office calendar. Although, sometimes when I enter something in the iphone and I'm sitting right next to my computer (and on wifi instead of 3G in the last case), it does occassional sync both ways. Can anyone possibly help with this?

    Sounds like some kind of server confusion over which device is considered 'authoritative'.
    A few syncs later does the iPhone and the server end up 'losing' those appointments, or do they stay on both devices but just never turn up on your iteration of Outlook?

  • Calendar sync between iCal, Outlook 2011 and 2010 and iCloud

    All,
    I'm having trouble syncing calendars on my devices and I haven't been able to find a workable solution yet. I know this topic has been covered extensively, but I haven't found anything that works.
    I want to be able to sync my calendars (email works just fine) between three devices: A MBP (Mountain Lion) running Outlook 2011, iPhone 4S (Calendar App) and a desktop (Win8) with Outlook 2010.
    Currently, I have no problem syncing the desktop with my iPhone (using iCloud) and these events sync into iCal on the MBP. Outlook 2011 on the MBP syncs into iCal using Sync Services to the "On My Mac" calendar. All of my previous calendar entries are single events in the iPhone, Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2011, but show up as duplicates in iCal (one entry is in the iCloud calendar, and other is in the On My Mac calendar). Since I don't use iCal as my "working" calendar program on my MBP, the duplicates are fine if it works as an interface between iCloud and On My Mac.
    For any new calendar items, however, I must obviously select which calendar they'll appear in. As suspected, if I select iCloud, the items all sync to iCal, Outlook 2010 and my iPhone, but not Outlook 2011; conversely, creating events in Outlook 2011 syncs via On My Mac to iCal, but not the devices as using iCloud.
    It seems to me that if a rule could be made in iCal which duplicated any event from On My Mac into iCloud, and another rule which duplicated iCloud events into On My Mac, there would be complete syncing across the programs, with obvious duplications of events in iCal (which is fine by me). I'm not a programmer and I have no idea how to, or even if, this can be done.
    Has anyone else found a way to make this work, or have any other solutions?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Outlook 2011 is not compatible with iCloud, it won't work and your 'workaround' may affect iCloud clients on the same account.
    Don't use 2011.

  • HT204053 how to I stop sync between my iphone and my daughters iphone and laptop

    how do I stop sync of messages between my iphone 4S and my daughter's iphone 4 and my other daughters mac book pro as they are all under my account for payment purposes

    Photos will Not go between iPad & iPhone..they have to go thro' iCloud as a provider or sync via your computer individually...you need Wireless on both or a direct USB connection..
    On each iPad and iPhone you can initialize via the Summary/Photos when they are connected via iTunes..

  • TS1638 When syncing calendar on iPhone with Microsoft Office whole day appointments get moved to double day. I am aware this may be caused by conflicts in clock, viz daylight saving time. However, Outlook seems OK and takes time from Windows time and zone

    When syncing my iPhone to Microsoft Outloook all the full day appointments become two day - 2300hrs to 2300hrs next day. Sometimes this will include a nuber of a single day of 23 hours. Looked at solutions and all point to a clock issue or a daylight saving and winter times. Outlook operating time is directly from the Windows clock that incudes the change of times for daylight saving etc. It is set for UTC Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisban, London with daylight saving included in the options. I can't see what I can do.
