Reminders, notes, calendars and syncing

Notes, calenders and reminders simply do not sync with mobile devices unless they are in the icloud folder. So, any such data on an iphone, for example, on the 'on my iphone' account will not sync with my MBA.
Why can't Apple just fix this as there must be a lot of us who are in this predicament?

Thanks. I have gone into System Preferences into my MBA and into Mail etc but there is no 'add a service' option. I have already ticked the reminders, notes and calender options.

Is there any way to sync my lotus notes calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my MacBook Pro?

You would need to have enabled iCloud on your MBP. Your question indicated you did not.
Its serial number is useful for establishing ownership should the MBP be recovered. File a police report.

Reminders colors do not match and syncing delays

The reminder colors in iOS 7 and iCloud.com do not match. Is this an early bug?
Also, reminders in iOS 7 do not sync immediately, sometimes. Sometimes I need to turn off the iphone off and on again for something to happen.
Thank you for your help in advance.

I have been seeing issues with sync on Reminders as well. I have found that opening the Calendar app forces a refresh of the Reminders app as well. For some reason there is a long delay in Reminders syncing and making a call to the serve,r since upgrading to iOS 7. Opening Calendar and then jumping to Reminders has helped. I would also suggest toggling Reminders sync under Settings>iCloud off and on. Much like the Mac version, Reminders and Calendar are linked to one another. If you are a Mac user, opening both apps on the Mac and then hitting Command+R in Calendar will force a refresh of both apps. I am confident these issues will be resolved soon by Apple. A major overhaul like iOS 7 is bound to be ripe with some bugs. Hope this helps.

Syncing my BB 8100 with my corporate Lotus Notes calendar and my personal iCal on my personal Mac

Hi all,
Am new to the community and BlackBerry.
I have just tried to set up my BB to synch with my corporate Lotus Notes calendar, but also to synch with my personal iCal calendar on my Mac at home.
To do so I am using the corporate setup (which I change nothing to for LN syncing) and PocketMac SyncManager to synch with iCal when at home.
My BB calendar is always up-to-date with my office calendar but does not have my personal entries from iCal, even if the sync process with PocketMac SyncManager returned no errors and the log book shows that a number of entries where synced successfully.
I have been looking at this problems for several weeks now and am not getting anywhere.
Hope someone out there can help.

Hi! One thing that BES users need to do when syncing with other computers is that they must turn OFF the BES function temporarily. That means, open the Calendar, for example, and then open the menu, and find the BES Synchronization option. Select that and change the setting to turn it off. Repeat that for any BlackBerry device option that you want to sync with PocketMac. Then, do your sync with the home Mac. Afterward, before you resume syncing with the office system, turn that BES option back on for each area you turned it off. At that point, you ought to see your personal contacts merging with your business ones.
Have a great day!

Advice for sharing a calendar and syncing with a handheld device

Hi
I want to publish my calendar to a select group of people - not publicly - and allow those people to alter my calendar - which then would sync with my blackberry - or other handheld, if i had to replace it. does anyone have any ideas?
thanks!

All Mobile Me is one way and probably easiest. However to avoid the cost, I'd recommend Google Calendar.
Make everyone a free account, then you can subscribe iCal/Outlook to Google Calendar. Everyone can view/edit once you share your Calendar.
Also, iPhones will be able to directly sync with Google Calendar using Exchange Activesync and won't even need to sync with iCal through iTunes.

MAC LION AND BOLD 9700 - Duplicating calendar and syncing issues

I have a Bold 9700 (OS 5) and a Desktop Manager running on MAC (OS LION).
My calendar on the MAC works perfectly, however on the device it appears duplicated several times (however the duplication is 15 minutes ahead and it also creates a "new event" 15 minutes ahead. Very wierd.
I also have error on syncing calendar and tasks.
On the device, the CICAL and CMIME are XXXgmail.com
Do you believe the new calendar on Lion is not compatible with the device?

Hey snhuch,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I would suggest going to Device>Forget Device in BlackBerry Desktop Software. Then close it down unplug the BlackBerry via USB, Plug it back in then open BlackBerry Desktop Software and setup the synchronization and test a few times.

Entering events in Outlook (2010/2007) calendar and syncing with iCloud

Setup: H/W and S/W: 1) Personal PC with Windows 7, Outlook 2010, 2) Work PC with Windows 7, Outlook 2007, 3) iPhone 5
Created unique iCloud user ID (different from Apple ID) to permit use of individual calendar and contacts across all platforms without co-mingling of data (contacts etc.) with rest of family (who is under same Apple ID). Works well.
Installed iCloud on both PCs, enabled iCloud on iPhone, all using new unique iCloud ID
My secretary creates events (as organizer) for me (as invitee) in her local Outlook calendar (on her PC) which appear on my work PC Oultook calendar. These events also appear in my iCloud calendar on my work PC. Good! (FYI, She uses her local Outlook calendar so she can invite others from work who are on same email system.)
Issue: As said before, events created by secretary appear in my local Outlook calendar and my iCloud calendar on my work PC but not on my iCloud calendar on my personal PC at home. Events created in iCloud on work PC do appear on personal PC, just not events created on local Outlook calendar at work. Seems, if these events appear in iCloud in one place, they choudl appear in iCloud in all places...yes? the cloud is the cloud is the cloud...is it not?
Am I missing a step? I have refreshed iCloud in all.

Hi IzzyKuhl,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

Itunes will not open and sync my Ipad after Imac update. Why?

I had a computer udate on my IMac yesterday and now I cannot get into my Itunes at all. I have no access to my music or videos, but my pictures pop up when I plug in my Ipad to the IMac. There is a message that comes up on my screen when I try to click into Itunes and it says; "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I'm not sure what to do to be able to get back into my Itunes and sync my Ipad to it. Any suggestions?

If you've reached five authorizations for your iTunes Store account, there will be a button in your Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.
Regards.

Iphone syncs music and photos, not calendars and contacts

I have had my Iphone since last July, and have had virtually no issues with it. However, since the last security update, I have been unable to successfully sync my iphone to my powerbook. The phone is properly recognized, and I can initiate a sync, but the sync seems to get stuck synchronizing contacts. Nothing freezes - the computer and phone are still operational- it just seems that the sync doesn't ever end. I even let it run overnight, without success. The same thing occurs if avoid syncing contacts, and start with syncing calendars. However, if I don't sync calendars or contacts, music and photos sync properly, and the sync completes itself.
I tried restarting the iphone and re-installing itunes, without success.
Please let me know if anyone out there has any ideas.

In the back of my computer. There isn't one on the side or front. I've checked the USB settings and it says that it's a 2.0

Using calendar and syncing/backing up on laptop - help

Hi,
I'm a new ipod touch user. I've spent a couple of hours looking for the answer to my question but without any luck. I think its straightforward but I can't figure it out...can you help me?
Basically I want to be able to back up my calendar on to my netbook/laptop(the calendar that came with the ipod touch as shown on the 'home' screen).
I've downloaded itunes as I understood there was some calendar application on there but in the info tab is says "no calendar supported action can be found".
What do I do next?
I don't want to start to use the calendar without knowing I can back it up onto my laptop.
I hope some clever clogs can point me in the right direction! Thanks x

i'm not sure the difference between outlook and outlook express either, but yeah they do seem to be different. don't think you can just download it though, it's a microsoft office program, so if you have an office package you should have it on there (although i'm still using office 2000, which is too early for ipod syncing, need 2003 or later i think)
i havent looked too deeply into mobile me either, can you pay on a month by month basis? might be worth it if you don't have to plump for a long period at a time. especially to get to the summer and discover much more flexibility when 3.0 comes out. (not that i'm suggesting it definitely will, but its a possibility i strongly hope does come to fruition!)

IOS5 Reminders not 2-way syncing back to Outlook

I've got IOS5 on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. I have Outlook connected to Exchange on the PC. The iPhone and iPad are working great talking to the Exchange server. The new reminders flow down from the Outlook Tasks to the Reminders on the iPad and the iPhone.
However, the problem is that reminders created on the iPhone and the iPad DON'T flow / sync up to Outlook.
So, it's a one-way sync down from Exchange to the IOS5 devices and no sync back up to Exchange/Outlook.
Ideas? What am I missing?
Thanks,
David

Sue, thank you for your response. I think I’ll have to give up on this as I can’t find any reference to syncing Reminders in iTunes, on my iPhone 4 (running iOS6.0.1) or on my PC (running Outlook 2007).
Just to clarify, on my iPhone, when I select/expand a Reminder, the option of “Show More”, just above the bottom “Delete” option, only changes to “Notes”.
I think the key here is that I don't use Exchange... it's only a simple home system at present. I'll look into it further. Again, thanks for your reply.
Cheers.

Since I upgraded to os 7 my voice memos are not recording and syncing with Itunes.

In the app the recordings show 0 time and when I sync with Itunes there is no recording listed at all. Any thoughts?

I found the answer, at least it worked for me.
Here ya go:
1) open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
2) on any memo: click the little blue arrow on the right
3) Click the next arrow in the top most box this will put you in the "Label" screen
4) From the "Label" screen: click the arrow next to "Custom"
5) In the Custom screen: give the memo a name (click Done)
6) Click the left arrow (top left) to go back to your memos.
You'll see that you memo as a name. I changed mine from "4:25 PM" to "Fishcakes".
7) Sync your iPhone and you are good to go.
NOTE: If for some reason this doesn't work, go back into the same "naming" list on your Iphone voice memos app, and try one of the standard labels instead of a custom one. With one that wouldn't sync, I changed it to "Memo" and then synced it again, and then it worked.

Notes app and syncing

Does the Notes application get backed up during a sync? If so, can the Notes entries be viewed and/or revised on the computer?

Notes get backed up, but cannot otherwise be synced or viewed on the computer.
