Syncing addresses and calendar!!! - never?

I've never beenable to sync my calendar and contacts from my MacBook Pro (Lion) to my 120 GB classic.
Has no-one EVER found a solution to this?
I think it stinks.......

THe wierdest thing just happened.
I just disconnected my iPod and checked the calendars and addresses - which were as usual empty - so in frustration I clicked the central button several times, the screen went to "apple" and then returned to normal and - bugger me - there are by calendars and contacts!

HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone.

How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone. This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5. You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

My wife and I share an Ipad.   We each have our own email address and calendar.   What is the best way for us to backup both accounts (we currently only have 1 ICloud account)?   Thanks for any help!    Alan

My wife and I each have our own email address and calendar. These are on one IPad.   The Ipad has a single ICloud account.
What's the best way to backup both Calendars, etc?   Does ICloud automatically back up every account on the same IPad? (I checked ICloud, but I could only find my stuff.)
Thanks for any help!

First, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup". Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes. An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user. You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name). You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose).
So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar. But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc. But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
Does that make better sense?

How to sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad 2?

How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2. I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty. I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad. Any suggestions?

Can't Sync Contacts and Calendar -- Look Here

Ok, to quell the confusion on this issue let me fix the general errors with this so others here can see why this is caused and how to fix it.
First if you cannot sync contacts and calendar and only those two items check your hotsync log. And look for contacts and calendar if you do not see these items this means you have an exchange server setup on the device or did at one point. To fix this go into email(Versamail) and tap on your account name in the top left then go to accounts and account setup. Once in here check all your accounts by clicking on them and then hitting edit. Look for EAS or only one server address. If this is what you have you are syncing to exchange and Versamail takes over contacts and calendar from hotsync. This cannot be changed. If you do not have EAS or one server on the device. It is possible that Versamail is holding the contacts and calendar due to you had exchange before. If this is the case the only thing you can do is a hard reset to resolve the issue. I understand that most cannot backup there data(contacts and calendar). But to fix this issue you will need to do the hard reset.
If you are not using exchange and find contacts and calendar in your hotsync log but have OLERR under them please look at this KB for possible fixes to this issue. http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=31167
Lastly if you are using Verizon's WirelessSync. Just by having this installed will disable contacts and calendar from syncing. To enable this go into WirelessSync then settings-->advanced settings and enable other sync applications.

I'm having this issue, but can't find any issues with an Exchange server (I don't work in a big office, and we don't have one set up). My phone did a hard reset this past weekend when I tried to send a picture via Snappermail (which I use instead of Versamail, if it matters); I was able ot restore all my data with the next hotsync, but, after that, it stopped syncing the Contacts and Callendar (but the hotsync log shows no errors--although it also doesn't say htey synchronized correctly, either). I've tried doing what was suggested in the first post of this thread (to the best of my ability--as I don't use Versamail, I just tried to do the same thing with Snapper, and made sure no accounts were up on Versamail). I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the Desktop, and performed a hard reset on my Treo. Still, nothing. I'd backed up the contacts and addresses on my memory card with FileZ, and that's the only place I've got the current info--I somehow lost the separate back-up I'd created on my desktop (outside of my Palm folder) for my contacts, although the datebook info is still there. I'm using Vista, and running Desktop 6.2.2. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated immensely--I've lost a few nights sleep trying to get this figured out, and am at the end of my rope. Thanks!

Can't sync contacts and calendar

Hello,
I am using OVI 2.2.0.241 and it is failing to sync contacts and calendar:
Error code for contacts: 80043b21
Error code for calendar: 80043bd4
It doesn't sync anything between the device and ovi. I updated a contact in OVI, but it was not updated on my phone
I am using Office 2010 64x under Windows 7 64x. Language is PT-BR in all aplications.
My phone is N95 8GB V30.0.018
Let me know if any more info is necessary.

Hi Guys
Look, I don't know if this will help perhaps.
We use Novell Groupwise (a stupid system if you ask me) at work and I finally got Outlook and Groupwise to be happy together concerning email. None of my problems were Outlook or MS issue, everything was Novell's fault. Then I had a lot of trouble getting my N8's calendar to sync to Outlook from Nokia Suite v 3.4.49, again this was Novell's fault.
So my solution was to create a dummy account in Outlook, which I only use for my calendar....and no problem.
The dummy account I set up uses my actual email address as a POP3 account with the correct server information. But I set it to ask for a password everytime and I set the port number to be deliberately incorrect. So now, I have a calendar that syncs, no problem and I have my work email in outlook from Novell that works no problem (except for the occasional crash, again Novell's fault). It is a slight compromise, because everytime Outlook Sends/Receives, it gives and error on the dummy account I created; but I just ignore this.
I can't quite understand why you can't create a calendar in Outlook that is not linked to an email address?
I hope this helps? or gives you an idea to a solution.
P.S. I think Nokia completely messed up the N8 with software. It was an absolutely stunning phone when it came out of the box; and as the newer software versions came out, the phone went downhill.

Email services that can sync contact and calendar ...

Hi,
I am thinking to changing my email address from Hotmail to either Ovi mail or GMX mail. Gmail is out of the question as I prefer to stay away from Google.
Does any of these email services are capable of syncing contacts and calendar with Nokia E6? Mail for exchange only works with Hotmail?
If Ovi mail or GMX works which one would you prefer? Another free email service is also welcome
Thanks

In the Calendar app itself, you can control which integrated calendars are reflected and acted upon. With the calendar app running, pull down from the top and select "Manage"...tic on or off those calendars so that only what matters to you is showing on the device.
The event you have cited is likely an automatic holiday insertion...you have to manage the source of that insertion if you want to change what it does with the individual calendar. It's not a duplicated event...it's you showing, on your device, 3 calendars that all happen to have the same holiday event on them. If you suppress a calendar, that event will not show on your device...if you change (on the server) how that calendar handles holidays, that would effect how it shows on your device (if you keep that calendar showing on your device).

Can I sync contacts and calendars with iTunes Match enabled?

I’m getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks and really want iTunes match but the more I read about it the more I’m wondering whether it’ll be worth the hassle. I’ve loads of old CD rips at 128 kbps and protected iTunes files, also at 128 kbps, and what really attracts me is the idea of upgrading all these to unprotected 256 kbps.
I have a Macbook for personal use and a PC for work, being able to sync both computers to the phone will be essential for me. I know that I wouldn’t be able to sync music with iTunes match enabled but if I can sync contacts and calendars and drag Office documents to the phone from both computers that would be OK.
Please could someone tell me whether this would be possible?

I think I understand now, it's nothing to do with syncing music - everything is synced through iTunes. Have I understood properly?
Yes. Including music.

This could be a major blow for me as I'll be using the iPhone mainly for work so I will have to Sync with the PC. If I understand this correctly, once I decide to sync with Outlook on the PC as the main priority I can no longer sync with the Macbook?
What if I ditch iCloud and sync everything through USB?
If it is possible for you to do so you might want to consider signing up for an iCloud account <http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html>. Keep in mind that iCloud and iTunes Match are seperate services. One does not require the other. However iCloud will work with Outlook 2007 and up so you can keep all your contacts in sync across the devices. You can also sign up for iTunes Match if you want. Or you might even consider using Google to do what you want. It is not necessary for you to keep syncing via USB, unless that is just what you are comfortable doing.

How do you sync contacts and calendar events

why is itunes not syncing contacts and calendar events

The current method of syncing contacts and calendars is to use iCloud rather than syncing.

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

Windows 8.1 - You need to turn on synchronization in isync preferences before you can sync contacts and calendars

After updating iTunes to 11.4, non eof my device is recognised (iPhone4 , iPhone5, iPad3), iTunes comes with a message saying : "

Please Advise..

Sync contacts and calendar

I have a iPod 5th Gen Video and a iPod Touch. When I try to sync contacts and calendar it does not work. I get a message pop up saying "cannot sync calendar. Log out & log back in". I am using Windows Vista and the latest iTunes and Outlook 2003.
Now at work I use Win XP and Outlook 2003 and both iPods sync contacts and calendar from Outlook perfectly. So is this an issue with Vista?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
You cannot...with OWA, you get email only...nothing more.
Good luck!

Re: sync contacts and calendar

I have an imac using snow leopard (because several of my photo editing programs will not yet work with lion) and a macbook air with lion. Just got a new iphone that I can sync via icloud with the laptop. Problem is my contacts and calendar are all on my imac that cannot use icloud. Any way I can sync contacts and calendar between the imac and laptop on the same home network without using icloud -- and then sync the laptop to the iphone with icloud?

Not unless you upgrade the iMac to Lion v10.7.2 first.

How to synchronize Address Books and Calendar Books in Mavericks 10.9.2, I am unable to synchronize my Address and Calendar Books informations with my iPhone 4 via iTunes

Since I updated my MacBook Pro's OS X version 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2, I am unable to synchronize my Address and Calendar Books informations with my iPhone 4 via iTunes. What do I need to do to update these data ?

I cannot synchronize the Address Book and Calendar data, even by means of iCloud or similar servers. It appears these data are not selected automatically during synchronization. How can one select Address Book and Calendar Book in Mavericks for synchronization ?

Unable to sync contacts and calendar to outlook 2010 or iphone 5

I work in IT and several of our clients are have trouble syncing contacts and calendar to outlook 2010 or iphones.
I have uninstall itunes completely from the computer, deleted the backup and clear the sync history nothing seems to be working.
Is there are problem with the latest itunes and if so when will the fix be release???

This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!
