Syncing events created on iPhone via Calaboration to Google calendars?

Downloaded the new Google "calaboration" CalDAV utility and sync'd 2 google calendars to iCal, and then with iPhone using iTunes. All worked fine. When I create an event in the iPhone Calendar app within one of the sync'd google calendars, it doesn't get saved within that calendar, but rather to "home" (the calendar I had chosen as the default under the phone settings). So I deleted all my non-google calendars in iCal and re-sync'd the iPhone, so now only google calendars show in the Calendar app. Now when I create an event on the iPhone, after having selected one of the google calendars, it gets saved in a new calendar called "Calendar", which apparently gets created at the time of the save. ?!? It would be nice to be able to create new events on the iPhone off-line and then have them sync to the right iCal calendar at the next iTunes sync (and then with google calendar via calaboration). Any ideas?? Thanks mucho.

Unfortunately, nuevasync does not yet support showing events from different calendars as different on the iphone. They say they are working on it. Here is a clip from their FAQ at http://www.nuevasync.com/faq.html
"*All my events are gray on my iPhone/iPod. Why?*
At present we sync all your Google events to the 'default' calendar on Apple devices. Therefore they are not colored and when you create new events on the device they are added to your default Google calendar. Our service was developed originally for devices that did not have multiple calendar support and we need to update it for the iPhone, which does."
This is not really an issue for me, but it would be nice if my wife's events could be colored differently from my own events. If this is important for you, another option is to use Calaboration to synch google calendar with iCal, and then just sync your iphone with iCal when you plug it into the computer. It's not over-the-air synchronization, but you're calendars should appear in different colors on your iphone. Probably just means you'd have to synch your phone with your computer every day to stay current.

Syncing Events Created with iPhone Not an Option?

Okay, I've read as many discussion threads as my eyes can handle and have tried several solutions suggested to no avail. I am using Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 but was very recently using Windows XP Pro and Outlook 2003. The same problem applies to both environments.
While I've had no problem syncing contacts and calendars from my computer to the iPhone, I cannot go the other direction. The selection box beside the phrases "Put new events (or contacts) created on this iPhone into the group (or calendar)," which is then followed but what should be a drop down menu, appears gray and is unselectable. I figured it was some simple preference setting in either Outlook or the iPhone that was causing the problem and found my way to the discussions to seek the remedy. Once here, I find myself overwhelmed and wondering if I now need a computer engineering degree to prevent missed appointments or the need for double entry. Please help a poor, technically challenged individual not regret the decision to by this phone!!

I'm guessing that perhaps the reason the option to "Put new Contacts/Events created on iPhone" is not available is that I only have one calendar/group (Outlook) available on my computer. That is also why it defaults to "All Contacts" and "All Calendars"
Evidently the actual syncing from the iPhone to the computer is unrelated to the availability of these options. At least that appears to be true in my case. I was actually able to get mine to work using the information in the article posted by someone else and available at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845
It seems the step regarding "Removing all other Third Party Add Ins" did the trick. I just didn't think it worked initially since the options on the Info tab did not change.
Hope that helps! Thanks to all for the input. B

Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

Hello,
I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Is there any setting that I can try?
Any procedure that I should try?
ny other suggestions?
Thanks much!
Erik

Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.

Can't sync events created on the iPhone back to Outlook or iCal

after upgraded my two iPhones to 1.1.4 I cannot sync events created in the iPhone back into Outlook on my Vista machine or iCal on my Macbook (for the second iPhone). I searched the forum but found no answer other than a RESTORE... I already needed a RESTORE in one of the iPhones as music data got corrupted after upgrade (it created a huge OTHER file.
1.1.4 fixed bugs and added quite a few!
any advice out there other than RESTORE? As always the helpful agent from apple support suggests restoring the iPhone and denies anybody else having issues.

The first question I wold have to trouble shoot your problems is: Do you have an active open account on Outlook? Do you have more then one account active on outlook? When you connect your iPhone to iTunes and go to the second Tab...What boxes do you have selected? Are you set up to Auto or Manual Sync?
Currently I have one active account in Outlook that is displaying my MSN account that was IMAP'd through izymail.com. All of my sync modes are set to manual so that I can control what and when my sync occurs. All of my boxes are checked in the second tab to sync to the outlook account that I have established. If this does not help then please answer the questions above so that I or someone else can assist you further.
Good Luck

Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

Ok, this will work.
1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
Good luck!

Event created on iPhone does not appear in iCal

When I create an event on my phone and sync, it does not appear in iCal. Events created on my laptop sync without issue. Contacts sync both ways, but calendar events do not go from the phone to the computer. I am not using MobileMe to sync, simply using the USB cable.
I have tried the following to resolve my issues:
* Make sure iTunes and iPhone are up to date
* Make sure all calendars are set to sync with iTunes
* Try different USB ports on the laptop
* Restart phone and computer
* Reset sync history in iSync and re-sync
* Follow directions in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 to do a full reset of sync history and re-sync
Yet after trying all of those solutions, I still cannot sync events created on my phone to my laptop. Does anyone out there know of anything else I can try that might work?
Thank you,
Cameron

After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
0) Plug in iPhone
1) Start iCal
2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
3) Quit iCal
4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
5) Start iCal
6) Import all exported calendars
7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
8) Sync iPhone

Calendar events created on iphone do not sync to ical...

I have created several events on my iphone calendar then watched them disappear when performing a sync with my laptop. I have gone to itunes, hi-lited my iphone (when mounted) then gone to "info" tab in itunes, I've selected "home" where it says "Put new events created on this iphone into the calendar" (pull down menu)
None of these phone-created-events end up in "home" or "work" or any of my other calendars. My laptop ical overrides anything on the phone and deletes it. Is there something else I should be checking or setting? I have the most current version of iphone software that's been offered (1.1.4). I would like to be able to put an event in there and have the sync work both ways.

Never mind. For some reason it just worked. I guess I really meant it this time.

Why does my calendar not sync events created on my iphone

When I create an event on my iPhone 4 and then sync it to my MacBook, the event is not showing up in iCal. I have "Sync all Calendars" checked in iTunes under info when my phone is connected. This problem just started after I installed Snow Leopard.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Events created in iphone don't sync

Events created in my iphone4 calendar do not sync with ipad or ical on my MacBook Air. However, events created in both ipad and ical show up on iphone. I have double checked - my prefered calendar is HOME for all devices. Thank you.

Hello henmeg
Check out the articles below for troubleshooting calendar syncing. The first relates to if you use iTunes to sync your calendars. The second one deals with if you use iCloud for calendar syncing.

New Events Created on iPhone Still Don't Sync to iCal 3

I have been having the same problems that others have had: events that I create on my iPhone do not sync with iCal since I upgraded to 10.5.
But now I noticed something even more bizarre. After upgrading to 10.5.1, the pop-up menu in Itunes "Put new events created on the iPhone into this calendar" has switched from one of my calendars to a calendar labeled "Home." The only problem is I don't have a calendar called "Home." Nor does this "Home" calendar show up in other contextual menus in either iCal or Mail. Odd.

I found a solution that worked for me. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6002974&#6002974 said to Export and delete my calendars. I did that. As soon as I did though, I got a merging problem. I followed what http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5772325&#5772325 said and replaced my iPhone calendar with my iCal data (of course I made sure important events were in iCal first). But they talk to each other now and all is well in the universe again.

Events created on iPhone not syncing properly

I've set iTunes to "Put new events creatd on this iPhone into the calendar" to my "Home" calendar, but when I create a new event on my iPhone and sync, the event shows up in the Read-Only "US Holidays" calendar (it's one that I subscribe to from Apple). I've tried the "Reset Sync History" feature in iSync several times (rebooting afterwards) but the problem persists. Any ideas??

Items that I enter on my iphone also get added to a calendar that I subscribe to, which is supposed to be read only, even though I have chosen another calendar to add new items too. My read-only calendar does not appear in the select box in the itunes info sync page, but it is getting the events, no matter what calendar I do choose. Then when the calendar gets auto refreshed from its source, the events disappear. I cannot change the events to place them on a different calendar, once they are in iCal my, because the calendar is read-only -- to everything but iphone.

Calendar events created in iPhone don't sycn to iCal

I migrated from a Blackberry to iPhone about a month ago, so am somewhat green to the nuances of the platform.
I notice that when I create a calendar event in the iPhone (3g, 2.2.1), it does not get sync'ed to my iCal calendar. Changes in iCal sync to the iPhone just fine.
I've done the reset suggestions listed in the Apple support site that relate to resetting the iSync history as well as running the unix command with no change.
Any suggestions here?
thanks,
Larry

I am also having the problem. Events created on the iPhone do not sync to either my MobileMe calendar (no matter what platform (Mac/PC) or browser(IE/Safafi) I open it from)or the iCals on either my desktop or laptops Macs. All have MobileMe preferences set to sync calendars, and iPhone is set to Sync with my Macs in iTunes. All events added anywhere BUT the iPhone itself, sync across all my Macs and MobileMe, only the event actually added from the iPhone itself fail to sync.
Anybody got anything new on this?

Put new events created on iPhone into subscribed calendar?

Is it possible to put new events created on my iPhone calendar into a subscribed calender on my MacBook's iCal? It doesn't seem so. The "Calendars" section of the info tab in iTunes sync lets me use any local calendar that I have created in iCal ("work" "home:", etc.) to put new events into from my iPhone. And they do indeed show up after synching. But what I would really like to do is put them directly into a calDAv calender I subscribe to on the MacBook and that doesn't appear to be an option.
To be sure, events from the calDav calender show up nicely on the phone when I synch. But phone to calDAv on the MacBook would be handy because MacBook syncs directly with the calDAv server.
Thanks for any help with this.

I just realized that I have terminologically muddied the waters with how I posed my question. Permit me to put it better: can I put new events created on my iPhone onto a calDAV calender on my MacBook?
The way I orignally posed it in terms of a subscribed calendar was wrong, inasmuch as you don't subscribe to a calDav calendar; you sync it.
My apologies for the inexactitude. I hope someone can help me.

Events created on iPhone NOT synching to Calendar - and I'm all up to date

I'm on a MacBook, running 10.4.10, all software is latest up to date, running iPhone 1.0.1.
I have a Calendar event I created yesterday for today (3pm appt). I've plugged/unplugged to sync repeatedly, iTunes reports sync is finished, but the event doesn't make it onto the MacBook's Calendar.
This is deeply alarming as I thought I could count on iPhone created events to migrate to my Mac and .Mac calendars - anybody know anything more about this?

I'm experiencing a hybrid variation of what everyone else in this thread has reported.
*Calendars*
I am using Entourage, and have two calendars set up in iCal. One is labeled Entourage and according to the notes, "This calendar is automatically created by Microsoft Entourage" so I'm leaving that one alone. I also created a second calendar named "iPhone". I have my iPhone sync preferences in iTunes set to sync with both calendars. Up until today (I hadn't synced calendars in a few days), everything seemed to move to and fro without any issues.
This morning though, the items I changed in iPhone successfully synced to both calendars in iCal, but did not carry over to Entourage. Even the "Entourage" calendar in iCal reflects all the changes. Similarly, items I added in Entourage are not making it over to the iPhone.
In iTunes, I have the preferences set to add new events from the iPhone into the Entourage calendar.
*Contacts*
Contacts don't appear to be syncing in either direction.
Short story long, it looks like iCal and the iPhone are getting along swimmingly, but Entourage isn't syncing. I find this odd since the Entourage-created calendar in iCal looks fine - I would think if Entourage is showing as updated in iCal...then it would be updated in Entourage.
I did reset the sync history...that didn't appear to do anything helpful.
Entourage is my main calendar/address book...so this is a bit frustrating.

Events created on iPhone don't appear in iCal on my computer...

...but events created on the computer do appear on the iPhone. I'm using iCloud and other functions (e.g. Photo Stream) work fine. I've browsed the community for suggestions, but keep ending up reading articles from 2007 or 2008. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.3), 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB mem
OS 10.7.3
I was able to solve the problem through a combination of two suggestions in the troubleshooting advice provided in the like you sent: turning off and then back on the Calendars box in System Preferences/iCloud, then restarting the computer. Works fine now, but it's scary to watch all of your calendar events disappear after you uncheck that box!
Thanks!
