Calendar syncing Iphone/Entourage/Ical/Lion OX 10.7.2

Ok - so this is driving me a little crazy.
I upgraded from Leopard 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6 and finally to Lion 10.7.2.
Upgraded my iphone to IOS 5.0
I use Entourage as my primary email and calendar.
I clicked the synchronize contacts and also calendars in the preferences panel under sync services.
What are the correct settings in;
Iphone
Entourage
Ical
Any where else
For my Iphone, Ical and Entourage Calendars to always be in sync?
I want to be able to make changes from my phone and from Entourage. I never change a thing in Ical, I just use it for syncing.
Also, why can I not find the invitees option in my Iphone Calendar? Does it need to be switched on somewhere in the settings??
PLEASE HELP!?

Sorry that I did not mention that the problem with iCal is happening in my MacBook air, not in the iPhone.
Regards.

How do i sync my iPhone with iCal on my Mac?
FYI I DO NOT want to use iCloud because MobileMe NEVER worked right for me.

Dear Ferd II,
Thanks for your pointout. It worked for me, though not the first time. I had my iTunes sync prefs set to sync automatically upon iPhone connection, but you can't access the "info" tab until it's connected. So my first time thru, I tried to click "replace calendar on iPhone one time from Mac" and then hit the "apply" button WHILE the sync was already in progress. It didn't like that, so I suggest to set those prefs in iTunes FIRST, then export and import the calenders along with the remove sync history via iSync, as per the instructions in the link you gave. My second time thru, using the prefs already preset, it all worked fine, and now the iPhone and iCal sync in both directions again.
Awesome.

Syncing iPhone to iCal and Address Book and vice versa do not work

I am a 6 year Mac user and a 1 1/2 year iPhone user. What I am about to tell you should have been addressed long ago. When I sync my iPhone to my iMac only the applications and music sync. Neither data from the iCal or Address Book sync either way. I used to be able to sync appointments from my original iPhone to iCal, but my 3G phone does not sync at all. Could you tell me where to turn or what to do. I think I need to fix it.
And, how do I change the calendars on the iPhoen. All events are on the same calendar and I can't figure out how to specify a calendar for an event. You would think I would know this by now, but I don't......Thanks so much

If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry.

Sync iPhone with iCal takes most recent update in either?

I am seeing what appears some unpredictability on the above. I am not sure whether sync through iTunes makes sure to take most recent change in Calendar, be it through iCal or iPhone Calendar. Is there a special setting to ensure this happens?

cschwanenberger,
Are you using Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion on your computer? It is required to gain full iCloud calendar sync capability.
If you are using Lion, what calendars do you have listed under the iCal "Calendars" tab? Only data entered under the iCloud category will sync with iCloud. Any data entered under the "On My Mac" category will not sync with iCloud.

Itunes does not sync iphone with ical

When syncing my iphone with itunes the iphone calendar does not sync with iCal.

Same thing here, but with an iPhone 4. Sync worked beautifully until the 11.1.1 update this weekend.

Unable to Sync Iphone 4s ical with mac (without iCloud)

Hi there,
I was able to sync perfectly all my iCal info back and forth between my iphone 4s and my Mac (OS X 10.8.5), but now it is impossible.
Went through different discussions involving upgrading to Maverick but I really don't think I have done any upgrade (or is there something automatic I didn't quite get?).
The option to sync the calendars in info in itunes is still there, and it does sync the iphone and the mac icals, but the events don't cross from one to the other.
I gave a try to the iCloud, but honestly it is beyond the absolute opposite of anything practical or efficient. More important I travel a lot between countries with no wifi or internet connection whatsoever, so really need to go back to good ol' sync by usb, getting rid of the iCloud on the way. Can anyone advise how to?
Many thanks in advance!

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

Can I sync an Outlook calendar on my iPhone to iCal

Hello,
My work uses Outlook for our email and calendar. That syncs with my iPhone in real time very well; my workplace uses MobileIron. I would like to take the Outlook based work calendar in my iPhone and sync it with iCal at home. I tried it analog (docking the iPhone and sync'ing with iCal using iTunes). The personal iPhone calendar came over to iCal, but not the work Outlook calendar. Is there any way to get the Outlook based calendar from my iPhone to iCal? Mobile Me? Another 3rd party app?
Thanks for your thoughts.

I was able to sync Outlook to Itunes and it worked fine under version 4.2. When I upgraded to 4.3, I can no longer sync. Apple is working on it. What is interesting is my 2 phones will sync with each other thru Itunes and change the Outlook file, but they don't show up in the Outlook calendar, the upgrade setup a hidden calendar in Outlook. They way I know this is the save date for Outlook change after a phone sync, and the only thing I am syncing is the calendar.
I know this wasn't what you asked, but can you tell me what version of Iphone do you use. Especially if it is 4.3, I would like to discuss further.
[email protected] if you can help, I am getting despirate. I can't find a way to go back to 4.2. I have an open case with Apple.

HT2513 sync tasks in ical with reminders on the iphone

How do I sync tasks in iCal with the reminders feature on my iPhone?

I don't think so. Reminders is very limited app.

Why does my google calendar sync perfectly to iCal on my Macbook Pro but not my iPhone 4?

The question as title is basically my problem. Before I got my MacBook Pro I used my iPhone 4 (with iOS 5) to use the iCal app to edit my google calendar. Events synced perfectly. After getting my MacBook Pro things still seemed fine as well. I was editing my calendar on iCal on my MacBook Pro, on Google's on-line Calendar App from other computers, and also on my iPhone 4 through the iCal App. Suddently events were not syncing any longer. I don't know what is the problem. Things changed on iCal on the MacBook Pro still syncs to Google's online Calendar App and vise versa, but I can't do a thing with my iPhone 4 iCal.
Any suggestions? I've tried deleting and resyncing my google account to my iPhone without any success.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Matt,
I found my own solution to this problem and I think you can get it to work as well. The thing is that you'll need to make your Google calendar your only calendar. This means that you'll not want to have a Home or Work iCal because that stuff may not sync well with your Google calendar, but the Google Calendar data will appear within iCal on your iOS and Mac computer without any problems.
Before you do any thing I suggest, you must make sure that everything that you want on your calendar is on your on-line Google calendar. If something is not there and you want it there, the thing you'll need to do is manually add it. There is no work around that I have found for this.
Next, on your computer:
1. Go to System Preferences > iCloud
2. Make sure that Calendars is not selected. You don't want your computer or iOS devices to be confused with the iCal Home / Work, etc. calendars. So let's not sync them.
3. Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
4. Delete Your Google account there
5. Go to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars
6. Re-add your Google account
Now you should be able to go into iCal on your computer and find that your Google calendar is there.
You will need to do a similar thing with your iOS device.
1. Settings > iCloud > Turn off 'Calendars'
2. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Delete Gmail Account
3. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Re-add Gmail Account
This should make it so that you can use your Google calendar and it will be synced to your Mac computer, iOS device, and the Internet (Google's Calendar Website).
You can see that this is in a sense a workaround in that you can't sync your iCal Home/Work calendars (or other calendars) created with iCloud to Google. I'm thinking that's the problem I ran into before. Anyway it works for me because I only need the one calendar and others are using Google that I need easy access to.
Let me know if you run into problems and remember you need to confirm that all your data is saved on the google calendar on-line (you can check through Google's website) before doing any of the steps above.

When I put in a new calendar event on my iphone 4 it does not sync to my iCal on my iMac.

I use icloud to sync my iCal on my iMac, iphone 4, and ipad. It usually works fine, but lately whenever I put in a new event in the calendar on my iphone, it does not sync to my ical. It does sync to my ipad. I've checked the "sync with iCal" button when i update the devices on itunes. Any other suggestions?

Sal,
Click on your iMac, iCal "Calendars" button. Are there any calendars listed under the "On My Mac" category? If so, they will not sync with iCloud. After veryifying that all of your "On My Mac" events are on the iCloud calendars, I recommend backing up, and then deleting the "On My Mac" calendars.

I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have.

I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have. When I go to ICal it asks for the username and password which I no longer have. The calendar is still on my phone (even though the email account is on my phone but doesn't work) Is there a way to copy my calendar to a different email address on my iphone? I have now set the default email account for the calendar to a current email address but I still can't figure out how to merge my iphone calendars, copy the iphone calendar to iCal, or save my iphone calendar to my mac. Also, I read in ITunes to check "sync to ICal" but my ITunes under my iphone and info just says "Sync Calendars" which doesn't transfer it to iCal when I sync my phone.

Syncing from iphone to ical doesn't work

In my syncing trials, I can't seem to figure out why my Calendar on my iPhone won't sync with my iCal or MobileMe.
My Google calendar syncs fine as well as iCal to MobileMe. There's something going with the process between the phone & computer.
Does anyone have a solution?

I upgraded to IOS 7.0.3, OSX 10.9 and itunes 11.1.2-
It does still not work.
The good news is, that this now is not a bug anymore, now it is a feature. Thanks a lot.
I want local sync and therefore have to look for other products.
