Syncing Calendar: wrong calendars appear in iTunes

Since upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain lion on my Powerbook (PB), I cannot sync Calendar (ICal) with my IPod and IPad with Itunes.
It is as if my calendar identity is not recognized anymore in ITunes. Or a fantom identity has a hidden Calendar (that I cannot retrieve) on my PB.
Problem:
I own 10 personnal calendars in Calendar: General, Assistance, Meunier travaux, Listes(undated)... etc
Those that show up in Itunes INFO when plugging in my IPad or IPod have completely different names: Personnel; Travail; Rappels (those are the default calendars of the french version of Calendar). They can be synced to my IPod and IPad. They countain no events.
What I did or checked:
-ICloud is inactive
-I resetted sync services a few times (by using ISync and by using the terminal)
-When I enter a new event on the IPad for example, syncing through ITunes seems to accomplish something on the PB. However, nothing changes on my PB calendars
-I created a Test User: he has no problems of syncing through ITunes.
Is there a way to have my "real" Calendars show up in Itunes ?
Thanks.
PS I know I could use ICloud - but I do not wish to use ICloud for security reasons.

My issue is solved !!!
After hours of testing with the Test User, trying different things read on the forum; following this procedure without success:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=hvkb&id=TS2481&agent=helpviewer
The only thing that changed is that some ofmy calendars finally appeared on my IPad - but the events where from an older Calendar (previous to the installation of ML). And when I changed the events on the IPad, the sync process seemed to take place in Itunes but nothing new was installed on my PB Calendar. The cache file or any files did not change in the Library/Calendar folder
However, 3 preferences files where updated on the PB
Seing that then decided to put to the trash these 3 preferences files:
com.apple.ical.plist
com.apple.calendarAgent.plist
com.apple.syncserver.plist
And VOILA !
Sync by ITunes works like before ! (I was even able to sync to an android phone !!!)

while writing this message, I experienced a Mac crash - blue screen. Not any application running !
Frightening !!!!
I guess ML is not ready yet.

Outlook 2003 Calendars do not appear in iTunes 7.3

Sorry to rehash this issue...
If I connect my iPhone to my PC and look at the info tab for the Calendars section iTunes says Sync calendars from Outlook (the only choice in the drop-down), but it is defaulted to All Calendars (Selected Calendars is greyed out) and no Calendars appear in the text area (I should have two).
1. I have checked the Add-Ins and if they are enabled
2. I have uninstalled/reinstalled all apple products
3. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Outlook 2003
The contacts sync fine, but the Outlook calendar does not sync at all.
I was wondering if iTunes even knows if the Calendars exist since they don't show up in the application.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Contacts Birthdays syncing to wrong calendar

I'm using a Blackberry Torch 9800 with 2 main email addresses (both gmails) being sync to it wirelessly. I created a contact from my phone (in gmail account 1) and keyed in the fields of the contacts including the birthdays. However, when I checked my calendars, the birthday entries were created under my gmail account 2 rather than my gmail account 1 which is supposed to be the case. I would like to keep my entries on gmail account 1 private as I use the other account for work purposes which is shared to a group of people. Could anyone help me on this? I tried googling all over but couldn't find any solutions to it... Thanks!

I would guess your blackberry is creating the birthdays under your "default" calendar which is Account 2.
To check which is your default calendar, go to Options - Device - Advanced System Settings - Default Services and check which account is assigned as default for Calendar (CICAL).

Trying to sync music to my iPhone, but the Sync button des not appear in iTunes

I am trying to upload music to my iPhone 4 from iTunes.
I can see my iPhone under the Devices section and can browser through the various tabs "Summary", "Info", etc.
In the Music tab, i check the box to "Sync Music" and opt for "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres".
I make my selection and can see the Capacity updating with the selections made.
But then the only option i have is to click "Revert". I can see the "Apply" button, but it is greyed out - and cannot be selected.
No "Sync" button appears.
Can anyone help?

Some apps no longer sync to phone but appear on iTunes

I recently did a reinstall of windows on my laptop. After reinstalling apps and such, I noticed that not all of my apps synced back onto the phone. I checked every box and they show up on the right side where I can drag them from page to page, but they are NOT on the phone. It's about 20 of 50 apps or so. 3 I paid for, the rest are free apps. Some were downloaded from itunes, some directly to the phone. I tried removing all apps and then putting them all back on but the same apps refuse to sync, no matter what page the land on.
I know I can re-download the free ones but I would like to get the paid ones back without paying again.
Any clues?
Phone is jailbroken, OS 3.1.2 iTunes version 9.1.1.12

sounds like the appleID are set to different ones in the ipad vs. the itunes program on the computer

How to sync songs that aren't synced to iPhone, and appear on iTunes in gray and next to a circle?

After syncing my music from iTunes to my new iPhone 5 (and all of my music is either matched or uploaded using iTunes Match), I encountered a problem in which some songs weren't synced to my iPhone, and when I look at my iPhone section on iTunes, on music I can see these songs that weren't synced, in gray and next to them there's a circle.
Can anyone help me with syncing these problematic ones to the iPhone?
Thanks,
Nir

Iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time.
Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iPhone.
Put everything on one library.

Sync SHARED Outlook calendar with iPhone (possible fix!)

Hey all,
My business uses a shared calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2007. Our personal calendars sync fine. However, the shared calendar does not appear in iTunes.
POSSIBLE FIX: If you create a local copy of the shared calendar by clicking and dragging from Public Folders to Calendar in Outlook, it will appear in iTunes and will sync.
QUESTION: How do I automate this process, so that a local copy is created whenever the shared calendar is updated?

1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.

HT4489 iTunes sync confirms my calendars are being syncd to iCloud, but they don't appear

If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

Why doesn't my new calendar appear in iTunes?

Hi all,
I'm currently using a MacBook Pro (late 2008) running Yosemite 10.10.2 and iTunes 12.1. I sync my contacts and calendars via USB to my iPhone and iPad.
I added a new calendar to my OS X native Calendar app and expected that it would appear in iTunes to sync. However, when I go to sync my calendars I get a very old list of calendars, many of which I removed from Calendar about a year ago.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but with no luck. According to the App Store I'm up to date with all OS and application updates.
How can I refresh the list of calendars that appears in iTunes when I go to sync info to my device? Where does iTunes grab this list from? Any thoughts or suggestions?
Benji

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- Try another cable
- Try another caompute to help determine if yo have a computer or iPod problem.
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Thank you.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

Sync calendar entries not appearing in outlook 2010

Hi there,
I'd be grateful for any help on this one as I'm just bout pulling my hair out.
Basically, when I sync calendars on my iPad 3 using iTunes, the entries do not appear anywhere in Outlook 2010 which is my default mail/calendar client.
My setup is as follows:
I have iCloud enabled on my iPad, but for some reason I have some of my calendar entries on the iCloud calendar and some on the calendar on the iPad itself. I thought the easiest way to sort everything out would be to get the entries stored on the iPad onto my PC, then I could easily copy them into iCloud using Outlook.
Within Outlook I have a number of calendars under the main Calendar folder shown in the navigation pane. Some of these calendars are also on the iPad.
As I had multiple calendars with the same name 'Calendar', I thought it would make things easier if I renamed the calendars on the device. In this case, I renamed the calendar which has the entries I want on my PC to Calendar1. When I sync with iTunes and select Calendar1 to be synced, this does not appear in Outlook. Even if I create an empty Calendar1 in Outlook, the entries are still not being copied over.
I'm running Windows 7 64-Bit, iTunes 11 and iOS 6.12. I have changed the backup option in iTunes to use my computer instead of iCloud. This made no difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hussein.

Hi there,
As a follow up to the previous post I disabled iCloud and opted to keep all items on my iPad thinking that I'd rather have too much data than too litt.e I then did an iTunes sync which replicated a lot of data in Outlook, but the renamed calendar still isn't being synced over or the entries that have been added to it. I put in a test entry on the iPad and it's going into the renamed calendar1 but not showing up in Outlook.
Any further tips. I've tried installing OpenSSL as advised on another Apple support KB article but this has no effect.
Thanks for any advice on this.
All the best for now and take care.
Hussein.

Syncing my iCal calendars in iTunes - Not working after installing Leopard

* I have tried researching this as much as possible before posting this, so I apologize if a solution has already been posted for this issue!
After recently installing Leopard, I have noticed that when I try to sync my iCal calendars to my (5th generation) iPod (using iTunes) that the only calendars showing up as available to sync with are "Home" and "Work". I do not have a "home" or "work" calendar in my iCal. In fact all of my calendars in iCal appear to be working fine, however, I am unable to see any of them when I go to my iTunes to sync them to my iPod. I tried syncing my iPod with the "Home" and "work" calendars, but they are empty. I used to be able to sync with no problem whatsoever. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot for any helpful advise!

JHeinz,
Glad to hear that contacts are working again.
Other troubleshooting steps involve refreshing the iTunes and iCal plist files.
1. Quit iTunes and find the com.apple.iTunes.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iTunes for expected behavior.
2. Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Additionally find the Calendar Cache file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder. Drag both of these files to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check for desired behavior.
I listed these as separate steps to keep from changing too many things at one time. If you are dissatisfied with the results you can always return the original plist files to their original locations.
;~)
