Sync mac to iphone (overwrite data on mac)
Hello. My Calendar data on mac got erased. I can't restore them, but the data still exist on my iphone (and nowhere else). The erase on the mac is younger than the data on the iphone. So i fear that synching the two the usual way would bring the iphone up to the state of the Calendar on the mac, meaning it would erase all data on the iphone. I can't try it out, because I guess I have one shot only. So I thought I'll see if there's a way to do a one way sync somehow. Is there?
Thanks
The way to sync the calendar from your iPhone to your Mac is by hand ... type all the entries from your iPhone's calendar into your Mac.

My old iphone backup date of 1/15/12 on itunes seems out of date. I just synced it before I am going to initiate my new iphone 5 from the Mac that I just synced with. Will it pull the recently synced info or the 1/15/12 data?
Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though. -
HT1386 When I sync outlook for mac 2011 calendar to iPhone the dates are repeated?
When I sync outlook for mac 2011 calendar to iPhone the dates are repeated?
OK, I think I figured it out, with Apple's iCloud instructions and a little help from campus tech support. This only applies to people using Outlook with Microsoft Exchange.
Enable iCloud on your computer (running Lion) and your iPhone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Then go to your iPhone's Mail icon, click on Add Account > Microsoft Exchange and enter your login info.
Doing this transferred my work email and calendar to my phone wirelessly. -
Why won't iphone sync mac address book contacts?
I've got an IP4 and a MAC G5 both with most recent software updates. At around the turn of 2012 I started "losing" new contacts from my phone, It transpired that the phone and computer were conflicting some how and contacts were not being updated or synced. When I tried to manually input these new details to Address I am told that the Database could not be opened as it is corrupted.
How do I resolve this?

9 April 2012Okay, if Entourage is syncing to iCal fine, then the problem is not with Entourage, but with the iPhone. (How sync works--Entourage sends it to a central location, and the iPhone and iCal pick it up from there. So you know E'rage is getting it to the central location fine, but for some reason the iPhone is not picking it up).
In which case things like reset/restore the iPhone might help (read the iPhone manual on troubleshooting and on syncing, and backup the iPhone, and export iCal and E'rage data to an archive before futzing around too much). Reset/Restore are different from a one-way sync that overwrites data, which you might try first---I think you can tell it just overwrite a certain type of data--the settings are down at the very bottom of the Info panel in iTunes 8.
However, since E'rage should be irrelevant to the problem, you should also search/ask re general syncing problems with the iPhone.

Sync iCal with iphone using .mac over the air
I can't seem to get my iCal appointments to sync with my iPhone unless I use the USB cable. I thought it would sync over the air the same way my email does. can anyone help?
The iPhone does not support OTA syncing - all data is synced via a USB connection with your computer through iTunes only.
Server stored mailboxes for your .Mac account are kept synchronized since you are accessing the account as an IMAP account - the same applies to any IMAP account accessed with the iPhone. -
My playlist created on my MAC in iTunes is not syncing with my iPhone 4s. The problem started in November. I have rechecked the automatic syncing but nothing happens. What am I missing?
Please read this article about snycing music using itunes. Please focus on what it speaks when outlining talking about syncing selected playlists artists and genres THAT is the setting you will need enabled to sync playlists to a mobile device.

can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro? I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.
I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct? -
My iTunes library will no longer sync to my iPhone or iPad, nor will it play from my Mac. My Library is on my external HD. iTunes is correctly looking to the HD as its library. Please help...
Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day. -
On the sharing option it gives you, how do I sync music from iphone to mac without plugging it in?
I have them both turned on, on the mac and my iphone, but for whatever reason tehy are not transferring. I just need help on how to make this happen!
Do you have an iCloud account? If so, from iTunes, Store Preferences, check the automatic downloads you want to sync. If you check Music, the music you purchase form iTunes will sync via iCloud to your iPhone if you have the iPhone Settings > Store > Automatic Download of Music switched on. The computer will download and store automatically all purchases from the iTunes store and sync to the iPhone.
If you have music that is not from the iTunes store you have to purchase iTunes Match, about $25/yr. -
How do I sync music from iphone to mac?
About a year after the rest of the world, iTunes sent to my iPhone the U2 album that everyone else was force-fed and some other music too from a German radio station. I never asked for any of this, but actually quite like it, so I wanted to transfer the music to my Mac. A simple sync by plugging iPhone 6 into Mac did nothing. So I restarted the iPhone, also nothing. I highlighted the songs in iTunes on the iPhone and clicked "Add To", but apart from taking an age, that didn't work either. Anyone have any bright ideas? I looked around in the forum, but found nothing helpful. The handbook or instruction manual was no help either. All I want to do is get the stuff that iTunes forced on to my iPhone to my Mac. Sounds simple, but apparently it isn't. Grateful for helpful responses.
Go to iTunes website and purchase latest iTunes this is very necessary it is the only way you can sync your files to your laptop because iPods/iPhones don't work the same way as normal mp3 players that come out as removable disk in the computer.
AnywY get iTunes the pages one because you constantly update your iPhones iOS so yea get otunes and stick the cable that connects from tour iPhone to your Mac book the. Open iTunes then your iPod will come up as an iPod or iPhone.

Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music
Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music. Is there a way to recover my music?
Not if it isn't in your itunes library. If you sync with a new computer iTunes will delete all iTunes media (such as music) from your phone and replace it with whatever media is in the new iTunes library. Sounds like that's what happened.

Question:
When I sync with my iphone I get an error reporting message but the sync still works. After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds as long as Entourage is open. This continues until I quit Entourage. How do I turn this message off? It interferes with any other work I am doing. I appreciate any suggestions.I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck. -
Events entered on my iPhone 5 (7.1.1) calendar will not sync on my Mac 10.8.5. However events entered on the Mac will sync to my iPhone.
Thanks for the input. Did ensure both were set the same. They weren't. Synced settings, restarted iCal and iPhone. Still only syncing in one direction. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.
