Re: problems syncing calendars and contacts to iPhone 4S

Hi everyone,
I am looking for answers on how to sync contacts and calendar events on an iPhone 4S ios 7.
I recently updated my iMac os x to Mavericks and I just realized that you can no longer sync contacts and calendars in iTunes. I have been reading on line for quite a while and it would appear to be a simple thing to do by just going into setting and turning on iCloud, signing in to iCloud and turning everything on for syncing but no luck.
When I log into iCloud in my browser, calendars and contacts are there as well as on my iMac but not on my iPhone.
Any suggestions or links to help me set this up would be really appreciated.

Folks I think I have found a solution to my issue. This post from Beau1k seems to have solved my problem

  • All of a sudden, my iphone won't sync calendar and contacts...says unsupported.

    All of a sudden my iphone 4 won't sync calendars and contacts. It says unsupported apps. Any ideas on the problem or troubleshooting?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • IPhone 3G doesn't sync calendars and contacts via mobileme

    Hi.
    Since the initial setup, my new iPhone 3G doesn't sync up with MobileMe.
    After some trouble in the beginning MM works fine now between my Powerbook and my iMac but although my MM-settings on the iPhone are correct and set to sync calendars and contacts, it simply doesn't.
    I have tried everything on the iPhone:
    Push (nothing happens).
    Disconnecting push, using manual or automatic (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour).
    Deleting my MobileMe account on the phone, thus erasing all contacts and calendars, then retyping everything correctly (and getting no message to suggest otherwise).
    ITunes too tells me, that calendars and contacts are sync'ed through MM and I can't sync iCal and Contacts using the cable either.
    Also, when I open System/MobileMe/Synchronize/Advanced on either of my computers to see the list of devices connected to my MobileMe, it only shows my computers on that list - not the iPhone!
    Can anyone help me with this or do I just have to wait for Apple to realize that MM doesn't work on iPhone 3 (2.2) - which kind of defeats the whole purpose of getting it in the first place?
    Thanks,

    This is a list of registered computers with your MM account, not a list of registered devices. Your iPhone will not be shown in the list of registered computers, because it isn't a computer.
    I thought so, but wanted to mention it in case I was wrong.
    Have you tried turning Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing with your MM account preferences on your iPhone followed by turning both back on?
    I have tried everything I can think of, and that includes the above.
    When doing this, however, the phone prompts me to accept that all calendar events and contacts on the phone are erased in order to sync new information from MobileMe.
    I accept, but trouble is that no new info comes the other way, although the "spinning wheel" is running for ages.
    I can again say, that the iPhone has been set up to MobileMe using the correct password and addres.
    Neither Push, nor set intervals or manual sync have worked at any time.
    The only way, I can put my calendar and contacts onto it is by deleting the MobileMe account on the phone and syncing via USB

  • Syncing Outlook Calendars and Contacts with iPhone - There is NO SOLUTION

    I have searched the Apple support forums, Mac Forums, MS forums, spoken to Microsoft Support and iCloud support. Everybody says that there is no way to directly sync Outlook Calendars and Contacts with iPhone and other remote devices and nobody has a work around. I see 100s of forum threads started with this issue, most have no answer and the few that do are not offering solutions. I post this as a final effort to seek a solution! Who will be my savior? Or should I just admit defeat and allow myself to be cast aside in the battle between two giant corporate babies who don't like to play in the same sandbox?
    Is my knight in shining armor out there?!

    The information is correct, MS do not support the Dav standard in Outlook for Mac (but they do in Outlook for Windows), until they add support for it Calendars and Contacts will not work with Outlook for Mac.

  • How to sync calendars and contacts between ios 3.1.3 and Mountain Lion?

    I have a 1st generation iPod touch under iOS 3.1.3 and a MacBook Pro under Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with iTunes 11.0.1.
    Since the upgrade to Mountain Lion syncing calendars and contacts between the iPod Touch and the Mac no longer works.
    I don't want my personal information in Apple's or anybody else's Cloud and anyway iOS 3.1.3 can't use Apple's Cloud.
    So I can no longer sync without a) replacing my iPod Touch which itself works perfectly well and does not need replacing and b) using Apple's Cloud which I do not wish to use for personal data.
    This is a MAJOR AND DAMAGING step backwards by Apple, which they should correct IMMEDIATELY if they wish to keep their increasingly fed-up older customers.
    Time-wasting work-around:
    As I never trust operating system upgrades to not destroy something that "just works", I have Snow Leopard still on another bootable partition on my machine, and Lion on a bootable partition on an external Thunderbolt disc.
    In order to sync, I backup Calendars and Contacts under Mountain Lion under which I do all my normal work, switch to either Snow Leopard or Lion, update iCal and Address Book from the backup files saved under Mountain Lion, sync the iPod Touch, and switch back to Mountain Lion.
    Lots of time wasted with 2 successive re-boots, but at least HERE IS A SOLUTION THAT WORKS - I have seen lots of posts protesting bitterly about this totally unacceptable backwards step - what on earth do Apple hope to gain from this? More sales of newer equipment to replace perfectly functioning older ones? Certainly not from many of us.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • HT1535 sync calendars and contacts to laptop- Windows 8.1

    I just bought a new laptop running Windows 8.1 and tried to sync calendars and contacts to my iPhone and iPad to the laptop. Contacts were OK, but my iPhone has developed a second calendar called  'Outlook Calendar' and none of the entries in 'Calendar' [which is the one I use] will sync.

  • Syncing calendar and contacts from windows phone 8...

    How do I set up my windows phone to sync calendar and contacts with BT mail
    Thanks

    Outlook 2003 and 2007 is supported. Outlook 2002 is not supported.
    You must select Outlook for syncing contact information and calendar events under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
    And copied from my previous post.
    +If Outlook does not include any contact information or calendar events, before syncing enter one contact and one calendar event. Make these up if needed which can be deleted later.+
    +This should provide a merge prompt when syncing, which you want to select.+

  • How to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book, how to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book

    I have a Galaxy S2, gmail account, hotmail account and want to know the best way to be able to sync calendar and contacts from the Galaxy S2 with iCal and Address Book. I want to be able to make changes on any device and be able to sync the changes.  Hotmail is my main email account and would prefer to use tha account but I know that the Galaxy prefers Google.  Any ideas? 

    You have several ways to sync your phone to a mac.
    You can use Samsung Kies for mac. You can download it here.
    You can also use Google for it. Open Adress Book, click Adress Book on the left top of the screen, click Prefferences and open the Accounts tab. You'll see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox, click it, enter you mail and password and you are good to go.
    On iCal go to Preferences (top left, click iCal to see it), open the Accounts Tab, you'll see a blank list on the left, at the bottom of it there is a "+" sign, click on it and select Google on the Account Type dropdown list, enter your account details and you are done.
    Third way to do it is by using third party software such as SyncMate.
    Hope any of these alternatives solve your problem!
    (The iCal and Address Book instructions are for Snow Leopard, but it should be almost the same on Lion)

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Can you sync calendar and contacts over the air to...

    I'm considering getting an E71 or E63, but apart from email I really want to be able to sync calendar (and contacts)over the air, not just from to/from Outlook on my PC - is this possible ? It's not really explained clearly in any of the specs and doco I've been reading.
    Also, if I receive a calendar invitation as email, will it appear on the Nokia and can I accept it, and is it written to the calendar locally and at the POP server, or is this kind of behaviour only supported by Windows Mobile devices?

    POP (post-office protocol) is only for email retrieval (and SMTP, simple message transfer protocol, for sending).
    If you want to sync calendar/contacts, then it is done over SyncML (synchronization markup language).
    Also "proprietary" synchronization protocols, like Microsoft's ActiveSync allows message/contacts/calendar/tasks synchronization.
    Nokia supports ActiveSync over-the-air through the Mail for Exchange software.

  • IPhone does not sync calendar and contact information

    iPhone has not synced calendar or contact info entered on the phone with iCal or Address Book. Has shown NO updating in either app since mid-February. Since that time, have updated to iTunes 7.6 and, IIRC, OS X 10.5.2. This is a problem!!
    <Edited by Moderator>
    Thanks!

    Do all Lessons as described by you - dont sync.
    Have tested it with several different contact groups or single new contacts. Did it several times (resetting sync history and editing new groups contacts).
    Also checked those boxes to overwrite iPhone Entries by the Computer.
    Nothing appears on the iPhone.....

  • Sync calendar and contacts between Outlook 2013 and iPhone 4

    I am trying to sync my calendars and contacts between Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Home Premium) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4).  I have created a confusing mess for myself and do not recognize all of the calendars that appear in Outlook or the iPhone.  I
    abandoned the use of the iCloud because the iCloud calendar invitations my coworkers received in MS Outlook are too confusing to read.
    Is there a proven process for syncing when i add a new contact or calendar event in one device so that it shows up simultaneously in the other?  If the process is too laborious, is there an Outlook add-on?
    I have tried the Exchange ActiveSync but I can't get this to work smoothly.  I can't move recurring calendar events that started in the past.  Further, I have to navigate 2 separate data files in outlook to find the right calendar or inbox.
    I am not sure if Exchange and Exchange ActiveSync are the same or not.
    Additionally, this is a private domain address (my work email).

    Hi,
    Basically, Exchange ActiveSync and Exchange are two different sets of protocols, but both of them have the feature to sync contacts and calendars between different devices.
    If your company provides an Exchange account for you, just setup it in Outlook Client, it will sync the contacts and calendars between clients and the Server.
    If you have an Outlook.com(Hotmail) or any other email account that supports Exchange Activesync, just set it up in Outlook, the contacts and calendars will also sync.
    As for iPhone, just make sure it also uses the same protocol.
    If there's anything wrong with the account sync on PC, rename the current data file to ".old", let Outlook create a new one to sync, or we can create a new profile to setup the account:

  • Can't sync Outlook 2011 calendar and contacts to IPhone

    I have a user that just recieved a new Mac book air. She is using Outlook 2011 when she tries to sync her calendar and contact to her IPhone though iTunes. The sync gets stuck at syncing the calendar? I ran and installed all the latest updates for outlook and it looks like ical and outlook are talking to each other. But it never gets to her phone.

    I have the same issue.  I have rebuilt the identity identity in Outlook 2011 and at least got a ONE TIME sync between Outlook and iCal but Itunes and Outlook 2011 for Mac will not sync.

  • HT4872 Syncing email, calendar and contacts between iPhone 5 and ipad

    I followed the above to sync my ipad with my iphone and I cannot set up the Carddav account. It will not accept ssl. Also my email does not sync between these devices. Any suggestions?

    So I have begun the step by step:
    Notes as I went (I wish we could do screen captures in here ...)
    +*Set up sync from Entourage to iCal and Address Book Set up sync with iTunes or MobileMe, not both.*+
    When I go into sync in entourage it gives me the option to "Synchronize contact with iTunes and MobileMe" (not one or the other just both - I have it checked)
    *+First, on the iMac, run iSync, choose it's preferences, and reset sync services. That cleans up the sync database on the iMac+*
    Reset Sync Service under the Advanced section is "greyed out" and as such I can not activate it? Running V3.02 --- OK turned off Entourage and iSync - when I restarted iSYnc it allowed me to reset.
    +*In Entourage, open Preferences, go to Sync services, and choose to sync the Calendar and Contacts.*+
    It prompts me at this point to Combine, Delete entourage, or Delete iCal and MobileMe (I chose Combine for lack of a better choice)
    +*If you want to use MobileMe, then switch off syncing in iTunes. Open the MobileMe preference pane, and on the sync tab, hit the advanced button and reset again. When asked, choose to overwrite MM with the information on the iMac*+
    I could not find a place in iTunes to turn off syncing? The only thing there was syncing og iPod but it was greyed out.
    Let's try ....
    OK - contacts seem good.
    The caledar is stillhit and miss. I noticed I had created an invite to myself in the calendar - sort of a reminder to do something but still created an invite - this one does not show up and few others that are series not showing up?
    I am closer however and will see how this works ...
    Apple - it would sure be nice if you would just get with the worked on the *.ics files --- this is a huge issue on both the business and consumer side ...
