Possible to sync iphone calendar over to iCal?

I manage my calendar/contacts through outlook at work (active sync to iPhone), and would like a copy of them on my iMac. Is it possible to copy them off my iphone and over to iCal/Contacts? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.
thanks

I called apple and they said that since my contacts are loaded from Exchange, that security settings prevent the iphone from handing off the contacts to the imac. Nothing we can do about it.
Im just going to export my contacts from outlook at work and import them into the mac.
thanks!

Possible to sync iphone calendar to yahoo calendar?

I am wanting to sync between yahoo and iphone calendar. I don't have 3g phone, still stuck with old one (purchased November 2007). I have synced all contacts but would like to work between both calendars. any suggestions?

I agree. I mean, if it syncs to Yahoo contacts, it should sync to Yahoo Calendar. I don't even use Yahoo, but I tried their Outlook syncing tool, and it seemed like a good way to keep my home Outlook (which is iPhone incompatible 2000), work Outlook, and iPhone all in sync. I was just going to sync everything via Yahoo. Then I realized iPhone only syncs with contacts, but not calendar. Bummer. In addition, iTunes/iPhone doesn't seem to recognize the Yahoo contact groups.

Syncing iPhone calendar to brand new MacBook Pro iCal.

How can I add my iphone calendar data to iCal on my new macbook? I feel like if I do it through iTunes, it will wipe my iphone calendar and I'll be left with nothing.

You need to do it through iTunes. Copy the iTunes folder from your Music folder of the old Mac to your new Mac. There is an entire forum area devoted to the iPhone here:

Syncing iphone calendar with Windows Live Mail

Hi guys - I just upraded to Windows 7 and I'm looking to see if it's possible to sync the calendar with the Windows Live Mail calendar? I'm thinking the only option at this time is MS Outlook, but just thought I'd ask. I searched and read through 3 other similar questions on here but didn't find any answer, hence the new post. Thanks!

For syncing calendar events direct with an application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.
I understand your second statement about the needing Outlook - but I'm trying to reconcile it with your first paragraph - there is support for calendar events over the air between Windows Live and iPhone? So it can be done, just not physically through syncing via iTunes?

Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.

Syncing Broken from iPhone/MobileMe over to iCal - but not in reverse

I've tried all the solutions noted in dozens of Discussion topics. I've called Apple Support several times in the past. All the fixes were temporary, not permanent. Several of my friends and I are looking for a permanent fix to the broken sync issues described below:
Changes and additions made in the iPhone calendar syncs OK up to the MobileMe cloud ... then stops there. These items never sync down from the MobileMe cloud to iCal. This problem, and similar ones, have persisted for months now.
Sadly, changes made in iCal always sync OK in the reverse order - up through the MobileMe cloud and on to iPhone - been inserting duplicate events added in iPhone over in iCal, adding "iCal" to the Event Titles. The results are that I have duplicates in iPhone now (one with the "iCal" indicator in the title, one without it).
Finally, Conflict Resolver is problematic and annoying. If I edit an event in iPhone, it will sync OK up to MobileMe. But then I get repeated Conflict Resolver messages indicating conflicts b/t iCal and either or both iPh and MM. If I choose the info in MobileMe or iPhone to edit the info in iCal, the conflict just keeps repeating - for example, I just for the 10th time clicked the Review Now button, and went through the process, for the same "1" event - oops now the 11th time. But if I choose the info in iCal to edit the info in MobileMe or iPhone, it edits OK. But it still does not affect the problems noted above.
My iPhone 4 is my 4th iPhone ... I've owned all the versions. These syncing issues have persisted. What good is the iPhone out on the road as a business tool if I add calendar events as appointments are made, but then when I return to my desk these items will not sync back up through MobileMe to iCal?

I'm having a similar problem. But in my case, nothing is syncing either way with my iPhone 3G. iCal is syncing just fine between MobileMe cloud and our computers as well as my husband's iPod touch. Just not with my iPhone 3G since loading iOS4. I just downloaded the iOS4 update -- hoping to fix multiple problems with the new OS, including slow as molasses performance -- but iCal still won't sync in either direction.
Apple Customer Service recommended doing a iCal sync through iTunes. Trouble with that is that it's created duplicates of (almost) everything: "All on my iPhone" and "All [email protected]". Ugh, hate that, but at least I can turn off the "All on my iPhone" now.
Anyone have any ideas re: how to fix the iPhone to MobileMe cloud sync? Or do I have to wait (and hope) for the next iOS4 update?
Sigh. Apple continues to disappoint this 20-yr+ Mac user!

Sync of iPhone Calendar over WebDAV?

My question is: do you think that Apple might offer a possibility to sync the iPhone Calendar directly to a .ics-file hosted on a WebDAV server in future versions of the firmware?
We use this method to have a group calendar for users of Windows (via Sunbird) and Mac (via iCal)...
If I could access (read and write) this iCal-File from my iPhone, it would even be more of a "Breakthrough Internet Device"...
Regards
Wolf

Hey WolfMuc,
You can leave feedback and request this feature be added to the iPhone here:

How to sync iPhone calendar with iCal on Mac?

When I migrated to iCloud, I lost all iCal data on my computer, but still have it on my iPhone. Any way to force iPhone calendar data onto my Mac? I have tried refreshing the calendar and turning the calendar on and off in my Mac's iCloud preferences.

Your profile indicates you are running Leopard v10.5.8.
You mac must be running Lion v10.7.2 in order to enable iCloud on your Mac. Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
If everything is up to date and you've tried turning off Calendars and turned it back on and that didn't work, go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Syncing iPhone calendar with Outlook2010

I'm setting up my employer's new computer and attempting to sync her Outlook 2010 calendar with her original iPhone. She'll be getting iPhone 4 soon but really wants this to work for now. Is it possible? The option is currently unavailable. It says "No supported calendar application can be found."
She's running Windows 7 64 bit, iTunes 10 64 bit and has an original iPhone with software version 3.13 (I think).

Though, to get you started, as is shown in step 1, you do need to export your calendars into google calendar....
Not true! According to http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=151674
By default only your primary calendar will be synced to your device. You can sync additional calendars by visiting the following page from any web browser:
https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
(Google Apps users can go to https://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/your_domain/iphoneselect, replacing 'your_domain' with your actual domain name.)
Select the calendars you'd like to sync, and click Save. The selected calendars will display on your device at the time of the next sync.
I'm very happy to have found this thread (started on my birthday!) which has helped me use google calendar to sync the iCal calendar on my Cube running OS 10.4 to the iCal calendar on my iPhone 4. I'm now able to sync the iPhone to the Cube directly, but now it doesn't matter!
In order to sync the iCal calendar on my Cube with my google calendar I'm using BusySync.

Syncing iPhone with MobileMe and iCal

I know that when I'm set up right the changes I make on one device (iPhone, iCal, MobileMe) sync to all other devices. Here is my question. iPhone calendar *****; so, at work I want to be able to create calendar events on my personal Mac and sync through iTunes (Mac will not be connected to internet and I can't access MobileMe from work computer). I need to be able to create recurring events that are custom (beyond the bare-basic the iPone calendar offers).
Can I use the option to sync with iCal through iTunes while Mac is not connected to the internet and still use MobileMe? I have tried this but keep getting duplicate calendar and contacts entries.
Do I have to use one or the other?

Doing both does nothing but duplicate the calendars and calendar events on your iPhone. When doing both, each is synced and stored separately and differently on the iPhone. The calendars and calendar events synced direct with iCal via the iTunes sync process are stored separately and not synced over the air with your iPhone and vice-versa.

Syncing iphone calendar with yahoo mail

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to sync my iphone calendar with my yahoo calendar. I use att yahoo for my email and prefer to continue doing so. I have an old version of Outlook with no calendar. Short of buying a new version of Outlook for my computer, is there any solutions? I don't understand why this shouldn't be possible since I can get Yahoo mail on my iphone. Would Mobile Me do that?

Sjazbec, I have to disagree based on experience. Since activatingiCloud on my iPhone 4 (updated to IOS 5) and the mail app on my newiMac (running LION) last Tuesday, NONE of my email shows up in theyahoo inbox via the mail app on my iphone. ALL of my email is visiblefrom the yahoo website page through Safari. NONE of the mail sent frommy iPhone appears in the Sent folder on Yahoo.
Until last Tuesday, none of this happened with my iPhone 4.
Onmy iPhone, I went to Settings->iCloud and deleted my iCloud account(option available if you scroll all the way down) completely, andvoila, lo and behold, instantly, all my email since Tuesday magicallyappears in my inbox.
I admit it's likely I have noconcept as to how iCloud is supposed to work. Of course, I bought bothLion and IOS5 and neither came with any explanation.

How sync iPhone Calendar back to Google calendar?

(1) Events I add to the iPhone Calendar app or the Mac OS X Calendar app do not get synced to the Google calender I view at https://www.google.com/calendar. However:
(2) Events do sync back and forth between my iPhone Calendar app and the Mac OS X Calendar app -- via iCloud: if I add or delete an event on one, it adds or deletes on the other.
(2) Events added to Google calendar at https://www.google.com/calendar opened in Safari do get synced to my iPhone Calendar app and to my Mac's own Calendar app.
How do I fix (1)?
Settings:
On Mac, iCloud Preferences:
Calendars & Reminders is checked.
On Mac, Calendar Preferences > Accounts:
iCloud account is enabled with Push, and
GMail account enabled with Refresh Calendars set Every 5 minutes.
On iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts:
iCloud account has Calendars set On;
GMail account has Calendars set On.
What else is there to do? or to change?

What calendar is the default calendar on your iPhone,
Forget it, let's simplify.
Use your Mac only, open Safari and go to your Gmail calendar on the website, then open the calendar app on the Mac so you may see what happens.
1. Put a test event on the calendar on the Gmail website, it should appear in Calendar on the Mac within a few minutes, post back when it does, or if it does not.
I'm going to want to see screenshots of settings from now on, if you don't know how to take and post them please ask.
An event put on my Gmail calendar at the Google web site already does get synced to my iPhone Apple Calendar app. That was never the problem.
And that was not the question, I am trying to establish what is what, it's a process, you still have not told me what are the default settings, If you wish to continue doing it your way feel free to, this is not easy when you do not answer my questions or perform the steps I need to establish what is going on.
Sorry, I misunderstood what you were trying to do now. (I DO understand troubleshooting, especially as I am a beta-tester for various programs and have been over the years.)
I just added an event on the Gmail calendar at www.google.com/calendar, and it synced almost immediately to my Mac's Calendar app:
Here are some settings on the Mac:
(The redacted 3rd mail account is one that does not have any such thing as calendars -- just purely an email account.)
