Solved! Calendar hang on sync: T5-Vista EASY!!!

After a whole day of searching, I discovered some wierd little code on my handheld calendar on December 31st, 1969.
On the handheld, all I did was delete it, as I input all date info with the stylus, and voila! No hang up.
The problem is that the palm desktop doesn't read anything before 1970, so, this was hanging me up.
How it got there, i'll never know. My laptod died and I had to do a re-install of Vista. Since it had all worked before, I knew it would.
So, go to your handheld calendar on dec 31 1969 and see if there's any crap written there.
I found it with dbfixit for free, and ripped out the entry myself.
This seems suspiciously like something put there by palm so that when I upgraded to vista I thought I needed a new handheld or software or something.

[SOLVED] Pacman hangs at sync

Any idea why? I got my rt73 wireless working, and was able to go on the internet with links, but synchronizing with pacman is stuck at 'Synchronizing Package Databases'.
Is it because pacman is too old and I need to upgrade it first or what?

Ok. Just solved it. Had to upgrade pacman. thanks.

Sync Windows Vista Calendar with PC Suite & N95

Is anyone aware of a way to sync my N95's calendar with the new (and improved) Windows Calendar which comes free with Vista?
I'm using PC Suite 6.83.14.1 and this can only sync with Windows Vista Contacts (not calendar).
Thanks!

New 3GS hangs when syncing Outlook calendars and contacts

My new 3GS hangs when syncing Outlook calendars and contacts on my PC running XP. I've read a bunch of previous similar posts but haven't seen a solution. Does anyone have any hints? Thanks in advance

This is a rare problem these days; it was common with earlier versions of the firmware. It is usually caused by a corrupted database in Outlook. Open contacts in Outlook and check the first few entries. Open each, make a change, and save it. If you get an error saving it you should either delete it, or export the entire address book from within Outlook, then reimport it. One of these will fix the problem if it is a corrupt entry.

Why can't touch Sync with Vista Calendar same as iCal file

Why in the world can't the touch sync with vista calendar? it exports the same ics file as iCal. I'd rather not spend the absurd money for Outlook 2007 just to backup my calendar so I don't lose it in firmware updates.
Also it would be very nice to edit my calendars on my computer as well.

With Windows, iTunes can only sync files from Outlook, and nothing else.
It can only do it properly through Outlook, as iTunes is only configured to find the files in Outlook at that time, and no other program.

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

IPhone 4s (7.0.2) hangs at 'Syncing Contacts' with iTunes 11.1

There seems to be a myriad of these various syncing issues posted; none of which have been answered and none that are exactly what I'm experiencing.
My wife's 4s (iOS 7.0.2) has been hanging at syncing Contacts on iTunes 11.1 (iMac; Mountain Lion) the past several days. It never gets past "Syncing Contacts".
Doesn't anyone have any advice. I've hard re-booted her iPhone; re-booted the iMac.
We don't have this problem with either my iPhone 5 (7.0.2), her 2nd-gen iPad or her old iPot Touch.
We share the same contacts and calendars across all of these devices and the iMac.

May have solved it so am posting back.
I had tried several times to sync the 4s after turning off the syncing of 'Contacts' (but telling iTunes to "retain" the contacts that are on the phone and NOT delete them). That managed to get through all other sync stages. However it still wouldn't sync completely; again hanging at 'Syncing Contacts' whenever I would turn that feature of the sync process back on.
Just this morning I opted to Repair Permissions on the iMac's hard drive. I noticed severl repairs made to iTunes-related files' permissions.
Tonight on the first try, the 4s synced trouble free.

Palm Centro Verizon, Palm Desktop 4.1.4, Calendar WILL NOT SYNC

as above. I tried to install the V6.2 desktop that came with the phone; the Hotsync crashes every time it starts (some HS20Log.dll problem), so I installed 4.1.4.
The calendar will not sync. It hangs forever and ever. Everything else syncs just fine.
I brought my trusty M515 home, synced it with the home computer, then synced the Centro to get the data. It synced ONCE (the calendar) and never again.
I reformatted the disk and reinstalled the OS (XP SP3), got the same V6.2 hotsync problem and reverted to 4.1.4, and that's where I am now.
Help.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Glad you got things to sync, just a quick thought.
4.1.4 is a rather old version of Palm Desktop. I would have suggested you try 4.1.4E, as it was designed for later devices and has some updated USB drivers in it...

Calendar Will Not Sync With Outlook

Calendar won't sync with Outlook 2003. Tasks, memos, and contacts will though. Under default services, it lists Facebook as my Calendar (CICAL). What do I need to do to change this so that my calendar syncs properly?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think I have the very same problem, but I'm not techno-savy enough to understand the solution. Can you elaborate more? Like where do I find "Default Services"? And, where do I find "CICAL"? Please, make my day. Thanks

After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

That's not the point.    Before iCloud, Outlook synched with Apple Calendar and/or iCal.    With iCloud, Cal syncs with iPhone and other devices.     Outlook doesn't have to sync with iCloud (although that would certainly be nice).   It just has to continue to sync with Cal, which in turn syncs with devices via iCloud.
But for some inane reason, it doesn't.    If this is Apple's way of forcing people to not use Office and only use Calendar and Apple Mail, they are going to stop the gains they've made in business environments.   Businesses, especially large businesses, use Outlook.   End of story.
Furthermore, Apple's instructions for setting up or deleting iCal and iCloud accounts is complete gibberish. And I'm a tech who has been working with computers for 32 years.   Apple used to be great at making things easy. They now suck at it and are just as bad as Microsoft.

Ipod Calendar and Contact Sync Issues?!!!

Quick note:
Itunes 7.6.1
Ipod 1.1 (latest)
OS X 10.5.2
Hi guys,
I have a 3rd generation ipod nano (4GB). It has been working fine since January but it has had trouble in the last month. I noticed about two weeks ago that my ipod nano had no contacts and no calendar events on it. I went into itunes and it was set to sync all contacts and calendars. It just wouldn't sync them. The ipod had over 2GB available free space. Software is all updated.
Unclicking and reclicking the settings didn't work, so I did unset and unplugged, etc etc. Nothing worked.
So I reformatted the ipod completely. That fixed the problem for awhile but not a week later it's started up again. when I go to my ipod it says it can only sync 21 of my contacts because:
"Only limited portion of your contacts could be loaded due to the amount of content on this ipod."
The ipod has 2.5GB available this time! None of the calendars are synced at all. It syncs my music no problem..
So what the heck is going on and what can I do?! I'm out of ideas.

This is a known issue with the current iPod nano firmware. Nothing is going to 'solve' it but an update from Apple. However, it's not nearly as serious as it seems. After you sync your Calendars and Contact (and Notes, they are affected by this issue, too), they often will not appear, but a simple reset will always 'refresh the iPod's memory'. (And you do that by turning the hold switch on and then off, and then holding down the centre button and menu button simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the iPod reboots.)
This is not actually an issue with Contacts or Calendars failing to sync. It's an issue with the iPod failing to recognise that they've been synced. A simple reset always solves it in my case and many others.

IPad Calendar doesn't sync back to iCloud nor Mac

Hello all,
I have a strange issue that, since a few days, the iPad-based, iCloud-linked calendar doesn't sync back to iCloud. Hence, for that reason, the calendar on the Mac isn't in sync, and this is, as you can guess, pretty annoying. iPad runs iPhone OS 6.1, and the Mac runs Snow Leopard. I manually configured the calendar portion of iCloud as indicated, and sync between iCal (Mac) and iCloud doesn't suffer any delay.
Additional information: when initially reinstalled, the iPad has two sets of calendars: one locally synced with the Mac, the other being iCloud, and there's overlap between the two, thanks to this pesky sync problem. I really appreciate the convenience of iCloud, but can't go without the safety of local sync. I may go days without manually syncing the iPad with iTunes but still, iCal is my lifeline, and any defect in keeping updated or worse, losing events will result in serious profesional consequences. It already happened in the days before iCloud.
iCloud-related information: my Apple ID is an email that has been dead for years. Since I used it heavily before the mailing privider ceased activities, I couldn't practically restart from scratch, so I am currently using this "fossil" login along with an updated Yahoo contact adress, and recently added an @me.com adress from iCloud. The latter is the adress is the one used to connect to iCloud's calendar from iCal, and works nicely.
However, the iPad, despite being configured with iCloud natively, doesn't update. I restarted it, but since the most up-to-date calendar is on the iPad and un-synced, so far I didn't try deleting and re-adding iCloud to the iPad as it would delete events added since.
What could cause the iPad to lose sync with iCloud, and how to solve that and prevent it from happening again?

David, nice to hear from you again, hope you are well.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
I believe you have duplicates because you have two sets of contacts. "iCloud" and "On My Mac". Once you have created all your contacts in the iCloud account, you should delete them from On My Mac.
You can move contacts simply by dragging and dropping from one account to the other, you don't need to export them all to the desktop (although doind so will serve as a good back up if all goes wrong). You should note that this copies them though rather than simply move them, so you'll need to delete the old set when you are done.
As for preserving groups from the On My Mac Account, you can't but you can simplify recreating them by copying contacts (drag and drop) from an on my mac group to an empty group in iCloud.
Not sure about the contacts that you are struggling to move.
Many aspects of iCloud are difficult to understand, have a mull through what I've said so far and come back if everything still doesn't fall into place.

IPhone sync to exchange server calendar does not sync any longer, mail is no problem.

Hi we are running Exchange 2003 and we suddenly discovered some users now cant get their calendar to sync. If we add anything in outlook it wont show up in the iphone and it is the same the other way around.
We done total reset on the phone, switched the phone to a htc mini and tried that same problem there the calendar does not sync. this is only happening for about 5 users out of 150 users. I have tried reset the profile in outlook.
I dont know where to start looking to solve this issue. Hope anyone can shed some light here

Hi,
Please try to collect IIS log and then use "activesync" as keyword to have a search.
Also we can use logparser to analyze the log.

Besides, please try to test if the issue would occur when we use those problematic iphone to sync with working user's mailbox.

Calendar does not sync via ActiveSync. Mail and Contacts work fine.

I recently started using ActiveSync to connect to my corporate Exchange server. Mail and contacts synchronize properly, but calendar items are not downloaded from the server. The iPhone can write to the calendar by adding a new appointment of accepting a new meeting request. I can also see the full list of calendars in my Exchange mailbox when using the iPhone. Simply put, the calendar items are the only part that's missing.
My IT team has confirmed that calendar items will sync to Windows Mobile devices using ActiveSync.
Here are the steps I've taken to solve the problem:
1. I enabled and disabled calendar using the On/Off slider.
2. I removed and reconfigured the Exchange account on the iPhone
3. I confirmed that all calendar items in Exchange had the Message Class set to "IPM.Appointment"
4. I restored the iPhone to factory settings and used a new test Exchange account to confirm that corrupted calendar items were not an issue.
5. Confirmed that the capitalization of my e-mail address in the Exchange Account Info on the iPhone matches the primary SMTP entry in the Exchange GAL.

Guys, I did a bit of research with my other iPhone/Exchange - buddies and this is what we found out:
1. Friend sends me an calendar event from his PC / Exchange Account
2. Calendar event displays as tentative on both my iPhone and on my PC / Exchange Account
3. I accept the calendar event on my PC / Exchange Account
4. Calendar event turns to "busy" on my PC / Exchange Account
5. Calendar event disappears from my iPhone
6. I double-click the event on my PC / Exchange Account and click "Accept" again
7. Calendar event reappears on my iPhone
Funny enough, this does not happen with all events - it seems to depend on the Exchange server and/or Outlook version in use. For those affected: Is your Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, and what version is the Exchange Server of the person who sent you the event in the first place?

Calendar does not sync from Device to Outlook
