Sync Calendar entry from iPhone to custom application
Hi, I am new to iPhone development. I made a screen for iPhone which is a calendar. I like to sync my iPhone native calendar entries with my calendar. I dont know how to do that. I need to know what APIs I have to use to sync iPhone calendar to my custom calendar. Thanks
MichaelPhelps,
You should start by resetting your sync history and see if that resolves your issue. To reset sync history:
1. Open iTunes
2. On the Edit menu, click Preferences.
3. Click the Syncing tab.
4. Click the Reset Sync History button.
If that does not help, then you can follow the additional troubleshooting steps in this article:

Hope this helps,

How do I delete all calendar entries from iPhone 3G S
My iPhone calendar is out of sync with Outlook (2007, connected to an Exchange server). There are appointments no longer in Outlook that are still on the iPhone, and appointments with the wrong time on the iPhone. SO I want to remove all the calendar entries from the iPhone and then redownload everything from Outlook.
So how do I delete all the calendar items from the iPhone WITHOUT deleting them from Outlook or messing with my Outlook profile?Thanks, Allan. Actually, I prefer to sync my calendar via iTunes because I refresh Outlook and sync via iTunes much more frequently than I fire up VPN to get directly to exchange. But I did use your tip the other way - I turn ON Exchange Calendars to blow away my current iPhone content, then turned it back off to delete the Exchange content. That left me with an empty iPhone calendar that I could then load via iTunes sync.

Cannot sync calendar entries from BB 8520 to MacBook calendar
Recently, not sure prescisely when, my Macbook (OS 10.8) stopped receiving new calendar entries from my BB curve 8520 during a wired sync. There are no error messages, the data flows correctly the other way, and as far as I can see the contacts are updated both ways successfully (though BB Desktop keeps flagging addresses as changed when they're not).
I have checked for BB DS updates, 'latest version is insalled' (2.4.0 build 17), reinstalled it several times (though it is noticeable that doing ths does not delete sync history, is that significant?), and rebooted the phone several times. No difference.
I can find nothing in Knowledge base directly applicable, and trying some likely suggestison like checking default calendar on the phone are either inapplicable or ineffective.
Ideas before I desert to Apple or Android?Hello Alex,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Thank you for your question regarding the Calendar synchronization issue you are experiencing when attempting to complete a synchronization of using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Have you attempted selecting Forget Device from the menu and reconfiguring the synchronization settings? What is your default Calendar currently set as?

Why does my new Iphone 4S sync without transferring calendar entry from phone to desktop using outlook?
Do you have Sync Calendars with Outlook selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.
Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally. You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices. -
iCloud deletes the contacts and calendar entries from Outlook 2010 on my PC, when it syncs. with my iPad. How do I retain the contacts and calendar entries on my PC.
I should mention that i have NOT upgraded to iOS 5 on the 3GS and don't want to. Therefore, no iCloud on the phone.

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -
I get the message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" every time I sync the iPhone 3GS with iTunes by USB. Can anyone help? Please !!!!
I posted the following to "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "xx" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. What does this mean??" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15820680#15820680
I haven't seen it mentioned but the secret is to
Sync only selected calendars
Select "Remove Calendars" from the popup window
(This is ambigous: from where are the calendars removed? From the device being synced to)
Click apply.
Oops! My memory is already gone stale. I think I left no calendars selected, then clicked apply. Then I selected the calendars that I wanted, then clicked apply.
In any case, I had a blank calendar on my iPad and then I had all the updated events that I wanted on my iPad.
Thanks to all who provided some of the essential clues to resolving this problem. -
Once I updated to OS 6 all my Calendar entries from the early part of the year disappeared. I need them as a record of PD activities how do I restore the earlier entries. The new future activities are there just the old ones have disappeared.
Well, that would depend on what calendar you are using.
If you are simply relying on the calendar on the device, well, that's not very smart. Restoring from backup should put everything back.
If the calendar is synced with another service, like Google, iCloud, Exchange, do the entires still exist there?
If the calendar is synced with Outlook or iCal on your computer, do the entries still exist there? -
Where are my calendar entries from 2011?
I can no longer access any calendar entries from 2011. They are GONE. As a test, I made another entry in the December 2011 calendar, and within five seconds, it disappeared! Where are my entires for all of last year? How do I get them back? I do not have a calendar program on my PC, and I never set any preferences when I installed Icloud, and I cannot access calendars in Icloud without installing Outlook. I dont want Outlook. I want my data back from the cloud! HELP!
You need to find out how the Google calendar application imports calendars from Macs. As for the Calendar itself you can export the calendar to a file. The Google calendar should be able to Import that file.

"iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "ABC" because the iPhone disconnected"
Hi.
So, I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5. I am syncing it using iTunes version 10.4.1 running on a MacBookPro running Mac OSX 10.7.1.
When I do a sync it runs through the usual steps, including the step where it says it is syncing calendars, and each step appears to complete in the iTunes window. However, as it finishes, a warning message appears saying "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "ABC" because the iPhone disconnected". Here's a screen grab of the error message:-
Now, the phone has not physically disconnected. I'm a bit baffled by this. It is a new iPhone 4, but inital syncs were performed without any difficulty. I have tried inserting a TEST event, to make sure that there is in fact a difficulty with the sync, and I can confirm that the error is not a phantom; syncs are not taking place. In additon, I have tried (albeit not methodically) to vary the particular calendars that are to sync, and the sync settings around old events, but to no avail.
Any suggestions for trouble shooting this would be gratefully received.
Thanks.Seems a workaround solution is here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9159203#9159203
This seems to solve the problem but we'll wait and see... -
