Synching iCal with iPhone

Aargh! I am having a difficult time of this. I have changed calendars in iCal and want to update iPhones. When I go into the iPhone I see "All on My iPhone" and "MobileMe" calendars. The MobileMe calendars do not include subscriptions. I am hoping to see the holidays (trust me, I need to see the holidays I just tried to convince a contractor to show up to work on Saturday not realizing it was July 4th). Anyway, at first look I see the old calendars on the iPhone under the All on my... section. How do I get rid of them and why are they there. Isn't MobileMe synching everything? They are set up to synch with MobileMe.
I'll post in the other forum but thought I would mention that I am having a similar issue with Address Book. Right now every contact is doubled on the iPhone. I started deleting duplicates but found I was deleting them from MobileMe and my workstation. Aargh!

Donald,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off the Calendar, when prompted delete data, wait two minutes turn Calendar back on, and when asked merge the data. Wait patiently, and hopefully you will be able to regain sync functions. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change.
Use the same procedure for Address Book Contacts.
I got this information from goodtwin315 in this thread.

Synching iCal with iPhone calendar through iTunes on Snow Leopard

Hi,
I've seen some threads on in similar matters but none of them related to this problem:
I can't seem to sync my iPhone's calender and iCal throught iTunes. I CAN'T sync the two using iCloud, because I'm using Mac with Snow Leopard, which doesn't support iCloud.
I'm using iTunes 11.1.4, and when I go to the info tab on iTunes in order to sync the calenders, there are no options to choose. It simply says: "Your calenders are being synced with your iPhone over the air using iCloud, Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
I would rather not upgrade my OS unless I must. I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1.4 and iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4.
Thank you for your help!
Daniel

Hi danielshachar!
It sounds like the settings in your phone may be prompting iTunes to report that your contacts and calendars are being synced through iCloud. Use the information in the following article to adjust this setting so that you can sync your contacts and calendars through iTunes instead:

How can I synch iCal with iPhone when running Snow Leopard?

I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and I cannot upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion because I have an Intel Core Duo iMac.
I absolutely MUST be able to synch my desktop calendar with my iPhone. This is an essential function for my life - I cannot believe that Apple would make me buy an entirely new computer, just so that my desktop calendar sychs with my iPhone.
Can some please help me figure this out?
Thank you!!
-Paul

Maybe you might get more response in the MobileMe forum as it sounds like an issue with that to me and I don't use it so am unable to help in that area.
Hope you get it sorted out soon.

ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion

iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?

I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

All day events - synching ical with Symbian S60

I guess this must have come up before.....
I cannot find a way of synching all-day events on iCal with my E90. iSync will not sync iCal all-day events across to the E90, just seems to ignore them. I thought I'd be clever and enter all-days as memos on the E90. Fine when it syncs to iCal - they come across OK as all-days in iCal but, when I sync again, the memos get deleted from the E90. Most strange.

I have the same issue on all day events synced from Exchange. The items look fine in the day or month view.

Synching ical with coworker ical

Looking to synch my ical with my business partners. Help Please

Hey DorseyHolme,
Check out the following instructions, they'll go through how to use iCal with your business partners by publishing and subscribing:
Mac Basics: iCal (OS X Lion and earlier)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2513
Publish your calendar
To make your calendar available to others, choose Publish from the Calendar menu. In the resulting dialog, type a name for your calendar in the top field, choose to publish it on your own server from the "Publish on" pop-up menu, select any of the other options you want, and then click Publish.
When iCal finishes publishing, a dialog opens and displays the URL for your calendar—be sure to write this information down.
Subscribe to other calendars
You can use iCal to subscribe to someone's published calendar, such as a family member, your work team, or a publicly available iCal schedule.
If you have an iCloud account set up in iCal, you can choose to add the subscribed calendar to that account. You can then view the subscribed calendar in iCal as well as in the Calendar app on your iOS 5 or later devices that have been configured for iCloud. This works without having to resubscribe to the calendar.
In iCal, choose Calendar > Subscribe.
Enter the web address for the calendar you want to subscribe to, and then click Subscribe.
Type a name for the calendar in the Name field and choose a calendar color from the adjacent pop-up menu.
If you have an iCloud account, choose whether you want the calendar to be located only on your Mac or on your iCloud account. If you want to view a subscription calendar in iCal and in the Calendar app on devices with iOS 5 or later without resubscribing to the calendar, choose your iCloud account.
If you want to receive any reminders or attachments, or hear any alarms associated with the calendar, deselect the appropriate Remove checkboxes.
If you want iCal to update your copy of this calendar when changes to it are published on the Internet, choose the update frequency from the “Auto- refresh” pop-up menu.
Click OK.
The calendar you subscribed to appears in your Calendars pop-up list under the heading "Subscriptions." To make changes to the calendar, click Calendars, select the calendar, and then choose Edit > Get Info.Notes
Subscriptions that you manually add on iOS devices will not push to iCloud; you need to subscribe to calendars using iCal on OS X to push those subscriptions to your other devices and computers.
icloud.com and Microsoft Outlook will not display subscribed calendars pushed to iCloud.
Find more information about using iCloud with calendar subscriptions.
All the best,
David

Synching ical with ipod

when I synch my ical with my ipod I can't get my "notes" for an event to show up on more then one line. I tend to have quite a few notes that would be nice to access. Is there some way to put "enters" into it so it's readable on my ipod?
Thanks!

I don't have Leopard yet so it can't be that. I can't get my notes feature to work right either so I can't even use that instead. Guess for now I'm stuck with the old paper printer option....

Can, and if so, how do you synch iCal with your Google calendar?

Am trying to synch my iCal information with Google Calendar. I can find information to get Google info into iCal but not synching iCal information with into Google.

You can sync to one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
That would have nothing to do with it it not recognizing the device.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Unable to synch video with iphone

I just downloaded an episode of Fringe to iTunes last week and have been trying to synch it with my iphone. I keep synching my phone- but the video does not come over. I have done the obvious- checked my synch settings and have checked that I want that video. Appreciate any other suggestions.
Along a similar path- the video was HD. Is there a way to specify non-HD- so it does not take up more space on my laptop? Thanks.

Just to close the loop for newbies out there. I discovered, to my chagrin, that iTunes was downloading both an HD and SD version of the show. I cancelled the SD version- silly me, thinking that it was an error. I saw that I could download it later and it worked fine on my iPhone. So- let both types download if you order HD- or just order the SD version.
I now have a Mac- getting better with these operation things....

Outlook calendar synching issues with iPhone

My work Outlook calendar does not seem to be synching up with the calendar on my iPhone. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

In that case the sync is with Exchange, not with Outlook. Both Outlook and the iPhone sync with Exchange, which is the master copy.
Which is more current, Outlook or the iPhone?

Synch ical with handheld

I am trying to synch my ical with my palm handheld for the first time. For some reason some of the events on my handheld are transferred to the wrong day, usually the day prior to the actual event. It is not happening to all my events, just some. What can I do to fix this problem?

I think you probably need to check your time zone settings: make sure that both the mac and palm have the same zone set and pay particular attention to daylight savings.

Is anyone having problems synching itunes with iphone 5 ?

I have a Pc with windows XP. I can't download my itunes library to my iphone 5s. I could with iPhone 4.
I have the latest version of itunes on my computer.
I've been told by Apple and Verizon that my computer is too old and doesn't have the necessary drivers to run iphone 5.
Is anyone else having this same problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't wnat you to have any issues with your device, tracybayne! Let's get to work to make sure we get you up and running. Have you been able to try to reset the network settings in your phone? The best way to do that is to go into Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. The phone will power cycle and then you will need to re-type in all the wi-fi passwords again. Once that is done, please re-test it out. Keep us posted.

Synching Issues with iphone 4/ itunes

When attempting to synch my iphone with itunes, the synch cannot progress past the "backing up" stage. Why?? Getting a bit frustrated now to be honest.
Every time I plug my phone into the computer, itunes informs me of the latest update required (4.3.5), but because of the synching issue, I obviously can't get the new update.
any help appreciated

"iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Guru's iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again."
The above is the error message I receive when trying to upgrade/ synch my iPhone with iTunes on my Laptop. I have the latest version of iTunes available (10.4.1)

Synching iCal with 10.5.8

Can't figure this one out. I've tried searching the forum but although there do seem to plenty of others with this problem none of the queries seem to have been resolved.
My Powermac and my intel macbook are both running Leopard and I've been using DotMac and then Mobile me for years.
Synching stopped working with iCal last autumn and I've had no success in fixing it. The Preferences accounts pane has gone blank and attempts to fill in my Mobile me account just give me "No Open Directory servers configured." Being a humble peasant I've got no idea what this means.
I presume this started when the upgrade became available but I can't use the iCal upgrade with Leopard and I cant upgrade to Snow leopard with my G5.
What's the Answer. Has Apple morphed into Microsoft?
Message was edited by: Gray

Still no joy. It seems to be something to do with my G5 running 10.5.8
My Macbook seems to synch but nothing from or to my G5. Even doing a reset synch data on my G5 fails to make any impression on the Mobile me calendar. Is this a 10.5.8 thing?

Synching bookmarks with iPhone

When I synched my iPhone for the second time, I ended up with double bookmarks on both the iPhone and Safari. I clearly don't want this. So I deleted the doubles, and unchecked the synch bookmarks.
At the Apple store they had no idea why this happened. So I tried to synch again this time with the synch bookmarks checked. Now it says it will delete 55 items from bookmarks on my computer. I don't want it to do this either since now the bookmarks on my iPhone match my computer. So I don't know why it is going to delete the bookmarks on my computer.
While this is not a huge problem, I would like to be able to keep the iPhone up to date with my bookmarks as I add them to my computer.
Anyone else having problems with synching and bookmarks.
Thanks in advance.
Russell

I just started having this happen this morning. On the Mac I had "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" with spaces between the words. These had my functioning URLs. There were also "BookmarksBar" and "BookmarksMenu" with no spaces. These were empty.
On the iPhone side, it was the opposite. "BookmarksBar" and "BookmarksMenu" had the URLs in them while "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" did not.
So, I re-synced, then deleted the non-space on both Mac & iPhone, and then synced again, but under Advanced, I checked "Bookmarks" to replace the bookmarks on the phone with the bookmarks from the computer.
All looks well at the moment.
