Sync to pull iCal from Mac to iCal on iPhone

On my Mac, I run Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, and just started entering events on iCal.
On my iPhone 4, I just added the iCal app.
I then followed these instructions for syncing.
Syncing Your Calendar Via ITunes
Step 1
Launch iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone using its USB cable.
Step 2
Select the iPhone from the "Devices" list in iTunes and open the "Info" tab.
Step 3
Select "iCal" in the "Sync Calendars With" section and click the "Sync" button. Your iPhone's Calendar syncs with iCal on your Mac.
My iPhone iCal shows old *Google* calendar entries. How can I change/sync sync, pulling existing Mac *iCal* entries to my iPhone iCal app?
Tips
Check the "Sync With This iPhone Over Wi-Fi" box in the iTunes "Summary" tab to allow your iPhone to sync with your Mac whenever it is connected to a power outlet and the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.
Now I see events on my iPhone iCal that were pulled from a Google calendar that I no longer want to use.
1) How can I change settings/sync to pull the existing iCal events on my Mac and transfer them to my iPhone iCal app?
2) What is the hierarchy? Meaning, when I sync, is the Mac iCal or iPhone iCal considered to be the "accurate" version? Or, during the sync, will it look for the version with the most recent (new or edited) event, then update the other iCal making both current?
In advance, thank you for assistance!

Have him try putting the checkmark back in front of "Sync Photos From" on the Photos page of iTunes and change the selection of photos to be synced so that only one or two new photos is selected (and none of the existing ones) and then sync. If that removes the existing ones, then remove the checkmark and sync again.

I select The album that I want to sync on The iPhone on iTunes but the syncronization finishes before all the photos of the selected albums are copied on The phone.

You should erase all contents and setting before giving your iphone away.

If you use iCloud, on your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and turn on Calendars, and on your iPad and iPhone, open Settings > iCloud and turn on Calendars

Hi there kushfromgbr,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
About SyncServices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
OS X Mavericks
OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.
If you would like more information about setting up iCloud on your devices you can take a look at the article below.

Why can't i airdrop from mac book pro to iPhone 5s

why can't i airdrop from mac book pro to iPhone 5s

You can't currently AirDrop between OS X and iOS. This is partly because OS X supports many file types that iOS wouldn't know what to do with if you AirDropped them onto an iPhone.
This will change in the next OS X and iOS that Apple recently demonstrated. When those OSs become final and are released to the public, you will be able to AirDrop between OS X and iOS. Apparently iOS will be more flexible about handling file types, as shown by the future ability to create your own sharing folder in iCloud instead of having iCloud being individual to each app.

Getting iCal to sync with iCloud for two Macs, and a 3G iPhone

I currently have a Macbook and MacMini both running 10.7.2, and just started using iCloud this week to sync contacts, iCal, bookmarks, etc. I thought I initially had problems with iCal as I was getting two copies of every event showing up on my MacBook, but then realized I had two sets of calanders, ("on my mac" and "iCloud"). After I unchecked the "on my mac" calanders, everything appeared normal.
The problem I face now is with my 3G iPhone that can't run iOS5, and thus, no iCloud. My iCal on my iPhone is set to sync with my "on my mac" calanders, so with those unselected, the events are not showing up on my Macbook, and thus, aren't being synced to my MacMini.
My question is, can I have my 3G iPhone sync to my iCloud calanders everytime I connect it to my Macbook to sync via USB, instead of syncing with the "on my mac" calanders as it is currently doing without have iOS5 capabilities on my iPhone? If not, is there a way to have iCloud keep syncing with my "on my mac" calander list, so that it is always up to date, and data from my iPhone will be synced over to my iCloud calander list from the "on my mac" calander list?
I'm just trying to figure out if I'll be able to transfer new iCal dates I create on my 3G iPhone over to my iCloud calander list, and ideally, vice versa.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I understand that iCloud won't run on it or with it. I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way to sync the "on my mac" calanders (which sync to my iPhone iCal everytime I connect via USB) continually with my iCloud calandars so the two are always up to date.

Sync issues with iCal on iPhone/iMac

I have recently picked up an iPhone 5, running iOS 6.1. I also run an iMac (circa late 2008) which is running Snow Leopard, so no iCloud integration. I am trying to sync the iCal's on both devices, and I am seeing the following behavior: If I create an event on my iPhone, and then "Sync" manually using iTunes, then the new event appears on my iMac, but not the other way around, i.e. I tend to use my iMac as the Master calendar, so I would like to create an event on my iMac, and then have it appear on my iPhone when I "Sync", but I can't seem to make this happen. So, the Sync behavior seems unidirectional, from the iPhone to the iMac only, but not the other way around.
I have selected the "Sync this phone with Wi-Fi" option on the iPhone->Summary tab and the "Sync Calendars" option on the iPhone->Info tab in iTunes.
Does anyone know how to make the iCal sync-ing be bi-directional (or barring that, uni-directional the "other" way) ?
Thanks in advance.

And it looks like I've just answered my own question!!
Just found this post online, followed all the steps, rebooted, sign out then signed back in to MobileMe, re-registered the laptop and Bob's-your-uncle.
So if anyone needs help, just follow these easy steps....
The report shows that you have some data corruption. You should be able to resolve this by resetting Sync Services:
* Open iSync (in /Applications)
* Go to preferences
* Click Reset Sync History
* Try syncing again
If that fails to resolve the issue, try replacing the database:
* If you haven't done so lately, make a backup of your iCal calendars (iCal File menu > Back up iCal)
* Quit out of all open programs
* Make sure that nothing is syncing (Spanning Sync, .Mac, iSync)
* Move these two folders to the trash:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices (~ refers to your home directory)
~Library/Application Support/iSync/SyncLocalCopy (~ refers to your home directory)
* Restart
* Open iCal and give it a few minutes to write out the new database
Please let us know if that doesn't address the problem or you have other questions.
That didn't work in my case, so I ran another report (contained within the Spanning Sync Application) and sent it to them a second time. What they suggested next fixed the problem for me.
I'm still seeing the same errors in the new report. Lets try clearing your calendar cache:
* Quit out of iCal if it's open
* Delete this file:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
(~ refers to your home directory.)
* Delete the contents of this folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
(~ refers to your home directory.)
* Open iCal
* Wait at least five minutes until after it finishes "Upgrading Calendars"
* Sync!

Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
Here is one way

Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

Can someone explain to me why iTunes will only sync photos ONE WAY from my PC to my iPhone, and not vice versa?

I have photos on my iPhone and want to put them on my PC. Should be straightforward, right?
So I go ahead and install iTunes, and plug in my phone, and sure enough iTunes tells me I've got 1610 photoes on my iPhone. It won't let me actually SEE them, of course. Fine (no, not really fine). So I create a blank folder on my PC and proceed to do a sync. My options are to (a) Sync FROM "My Pictures" to the phone, or (b) choose another and sync FROM my PC TO the phone.
Where is the option to sync FROM my phone TO my PC????
It boggles my mind that I have to go outside of iTunes and use Windows Explorer to copy the photos from the phone to the computer. So I go to "My Computer" and within the iphone Internal Storage there is only a DCIM folder and two sub-folders. There are only 800 photos there! Where are the other ones?
Evidently what I can see from Windows Explorer is ONLY the pictures I took with the phone itself, and NOT the pictures I saved from email attachments or instant messages! Why? Where are they and how can I access them???
SO far, the closest thing I have been able to find is to have to buy a third party App like "Simple Transfer" to do this. Is this really the case? Or am I missing something?

Photo sync is only one way, computer to iPhone.
To get pictures from the iPhone to the computer, copy them to the computer as you would with any other device.
Pictures saved from emails or instant messages (if done on the device) are in the camera roll.
Pictures previously synced to the device from a computer are not available to be copied off the device. They should already be on a computer.

Are you upgrading from an existing iPhone? Back up old phone, then restore new phone with the cable. I had to do this a number of time to get all my purchases across.

Can you sync the contact template from my MBP to my iPhone?

I have a certain template for my new contacts in my address book on my MBP. Can I sync my iPhone so it has the same template when adding a new contact?

Hi GREG Obiorah,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are trying to sync applications from your computer to your iPhone 4 but are continually prompted to authorize the computer. I suggest using the following article to help troubleshoot and resolve this issue. If you are sure you are on the administrator account on the computer and authorizing with the correct account name, removing the SC Info folder may be the resolution for you. Please use the following article for reference.

Can you transfer your ICal from Mac Pro to your IPhone

I am just curious if you can transfer your ICal from a Mac Pro Book to you IPhone before I get my IPhone.

iCal is supported on a Mac when you sync contact info to your phone.
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
Contacts
Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7), or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.

Cannot sync / get Calendar iCal on iPhone 4 from iCloud

I also use a MacBook Air.
I see there is a problem with iCloud on the Support home page for iCloud.
Any ideas? Much appreciated.
Matthew

i've had every possible problem that i'd think one can have, and through work-arounds fixed about half ... but I'm starting to think the answer is to give up, give them a week to sort things out, and try again next week.
I'm starting to think that Mobile Me was their finest hour ...
