Synchronising iCal times with iPhone

Using the same date zones, synchronising iCal with my new iPhone G3 leads to a complete change in the time of day on one or the other component. How can I get them to show the correct time entered?

Patrick
I think i had this problem, and I think I have just solved it with assistance of Apple Help. My prob was that there was a 30min discrepancy between iphone ical and laptop ical - ie, if I set my iphone to say 3.00pm it would come up as 2.30pm in the laptop ical after syncing. Times on both machines were same, and both were set to the same time zone and city (Adelaide, South Australia from where I write).
The Help Desk suggested i "restore" my iphone factory settings (which I found kind of scary being a newbie to this) but they reassured that all my phone settings were on my laptop anyway so not lost.
Anyway, I followed the instructions (also "setting up as new iphone" as requested by Help). Now my iphone ical and laptop ical now appear to be totally in sync.
Long story, sorry but hope this helps.

  • How to over-write iCal data with iPhone calendar data?

    As of tonight, my iPhone 4's calendar will not merge to my iMac.  The Mac with push to the phone, but not the other way around.  I know for a fact that the "correct" calendar is the one on the iPhone (lucky this week I know that!), so I'd like a way to over-write the computer version with the iPhone.
    So, problems to solve:
    (1) Tell me how to reset the sync history in the newest version of iTunes
    OR
    (2) Tell me how to over-write data as described above (and pray it works the next time bi-directionally)
    OR
    (3) Point me to a fix for the original non-sync problem that I haven't discovered yet.
    Your help is GREATLY appreciated as I've spent WAY more time on this than intended already.  1 minute sync --> 4 hour issue.
    Thanks!
    [iPhone 4 with 5.1 and Calendar; iMac with 10.6.8 and iCal 4.0.4]

    Greetings,
    Basics:
    Turn iPhone and computer off and on and try again.
    Ensure date and time on iPhone and computer are the same and try again.
    More troubleshooting:
    1.) Backup all your data:
    Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
    If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I sync MacBook Pro's old iCal calendar with iPhone 4?

    I had MobileMe, which as you all know, was not a perfect program. MobileMe left me with duplicates of every Calendar but I am not sure which one to delete of each pair for fear of losing date. But it did sync my iPhone and my iCal on my MacBookPro. So when it was suggested that I move to iCloud, I thought: Great idea. Maybe this program will work better!
    Well now I have no syncing between iCal calendar and iPhone iCal calendar.
    Does anyone know how to use this thing?
    AGH!
    Thanks for any help you can shoot my way. Assume idiocy: step 1, step 2, step 3 appreciated and for each device if you know how to fix this!

    Contacts and calender you can put on icloud then sync to your new phone when its setup to the icloud account. Not sure so with emails.

  • 1st ical sync with iphone...all events off by 2 hours

    Why? All ical events got transferred to my iphone but the time is off by 2 hours...all iphone events are showing up 2 hours later than when I originally scheduled them in my iMac ical program (the ical events on my iMac are still displaying at the correct time)
    Also, on my iphone, my 5 different ical calendars all synced, and all have a different color next to them, but the colors do not match the colors for the calendars created in ical on my iMac (ex: I created my dissertation calendar in red on my iMac but it shows up as orange on my iphone; I created my travel calendar in green on my iMac but it shows up as blue on my iphone, etc).
    Does anyone know why this happened and how to correct?
    Thanks!

    Hey that worked! I was unaware of that setting on my iphone. Actually, I left time zone support turned on, but set the time zone for Denver (I'm on mountain time) instead of the Washington, DC zone it was set for.
    As far as the colors being off, we'll see if anyone else comes along with an idea for that one. (Too bad there's no setting to turn on for "keep the calendar colors the same!")
    In the meantime, THANKS!

  • ICal misbehaving with iPhone, month view, and events missing

    iCal is giving me problems.
    April will not display at all in month view, and 1 week's worth of events are completely missing, no matter which view I am in.
    My iPhone has all of my events and is up-to-date, but even though I've synced it several times, it doesn't work. I've deleted the com.apple.iCal.plist file as well as the cache, with no luck.
    I'm in Leopard 10.5.8, using iCal 3.0.8
    Thanks in advance for all of your help!

    Can I publish the calendar between two macs that are on a LAN?
    Publishing requires a .Mac account, or WebDAV-enabled server as I mentioned in my previous post.
    To simply share a calendar from on computer to another you can use iCals export and import features.
    Just export a calendar from one computer and import it on the other. It's as easy as sharing a file.

  • BUG? Streaming an mp3-file does not work a second time with iPhone 4

    Hi,
    I was trying to stream a mp3-file from a server and listen to it on my iPhone. At the first time it worked all right, but when I wanted to listen a second time I got the error message "The server is not configured correctly.", after quicktime started, and nothing happened.
    I tried to reset the iPhone and again got the error message.
    This is the link: http://kunst.museumsportal.de/76/236.mp3
    Does anybody experience similar problems when clicking on the link with an iPhone 4? Do I miss something?
    Thanks for help or suggestions,
    Klaus

    There are 3 things you can try.
    Hard reset -Hold home and power button until apple logo is displayed -Release let device reboot -test it out.
    If issue persists -go to Settings>gerneral>reset>reset all settings -test.
    Issue persisting still??
    Last but not least restore and setup as new, this will erase EVERYTHING make sure contacts/calendars are in the iCloud or synced in windows Contacts/Addressbook/outlook, or Addressbook on a mac, and Calendars in Outlook, or iCal
    make sure to transfer your purchases, in iTunes windows or mac - File at top left - Transfer purchases.
    Transfer photos via iPhoto, windows scanner camera wizard, or Windows Photo Gallery
    then follow  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

  • ICal syncs with iPhone from Mac but won't sync Outlook events

    Hi,
    I want to get all of my events from my Mac 2011 Outlook to sync through iCloud with iCal for my MacBook and iPhone. I've been able to get the events to show in iCal on my MacBook when I accept them from outlook, but they won't then sync with my iPhone unless I plug it into my computer? Is there any way to fix this? I also can't change any of the Outlook events once they're in iCal, I have to do so straight from outlook. The outlook events come in in their own calendar called "no category" that's grey. Any suggestions?

    There is no such thing as a Mac or PC formatted iPhone. Follow the directions here if iTunes for Windows does not see the phone:

  • Trouble with iCal syncing with iPhone calendar

    When I create events or meetings on iCal on my Mac, they don't appear on my iPhone 4 anymore. Anyone help please

    Hey Thanks for your suggestion, however, and this may be part of the problem, I
    accidentally deleted the software a little while back thinking I did not need it.
    So, any suggestions on how I can get a download of iSync. I do not have Time Machine
    running currently, so, that option is gone. So, do you have any other suggestions.
    Thanks...

  • Does reminders in iCal sync with iPhone 4s

    Reminders in iCal works well and iPhone 4s has a pre installed app called Reminders but they do not sync together. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to sync them?

    Yes, they will sync from the iphone to ical via iCloud.  Show the reminders list in iCal > View > show Reminders.
    Visit the options in iCal > preferences.. > Advanced tab  for options.
    Now tell Siri on the iphone to "remind me to get a haircut in four weeks".  It should appear in the reminders list on the right.

  • Creating iCal invites with iPhone

    Anyone know how to create an iphone invite on your phone? Or if apple is planning on adding this feature anytime soon? any other apps that do the same thing?

    Possible currently only with an MS Exchange account on the iPhone. Else, you'll need to wait until Apple implements such a feature - and no one here can say if or when they will. You can request it.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Is anyone experiencing long application start times with iPhone 4?

    When I launch pretty much any application I get a blank screen for 5 to 10 seconds. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.
