Syncing of Contacts and Calendars between devices

I have an iphone, ipad2 and a Mac Mini all of which sync properly with each other when using CONTACTS.
When using Calendar iphone and ipad2 sync with each other and the Mac Mini but data entered into the Mac mini is not synced with the iphomne or ipad2 - WHy as the sync works for Contacts exactly as it should?

HT1296 I updated my PC from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I can no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar between my iPhone and my computer.

I updatedmy PC from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I can no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar between my iPhone and my computer.

Windows 8 is not supported at this time.

Since upgrading to maverick I have had problems syncing contacts and calendar between devices

After recent apple support ref:532791559 my macpro will exchange these items between icloud and macpro but now I find I cannot exchange data between my iphone (IOS7) and ipad (IOS7)
In above apple support created new accounts etc to arrange connection but now I have lost the other two items. All three were working perfectly with icloud before updating. Sorry Apple but this is a blunder!!!

Hi,
Thank you for taking an interest in my problem.
What actually transpired was my Macpro (contacts) would not update after I put changes in to contacts in either iphone or ipad. Apple checked and discovered that changes made in either macPro (contacts) and contacts(cloud.com) did not talk to each other so concentrated on this.
The rep had me signout of my macpro user account, and create a temp new user to which I signed into my icloud account as normal. Then, changes in either macpro or cloud.com now worked. He then did some changes at his end and after exiting the temp user and resigning in as origal macpro user this now made changes to each other. OK. We then deleted the temp user and this worked! but since then I have discovered that iphone and ipad now do not change icloud.com contacts or calendar so would not of course change contacts on macpro!
Other services on icloud (photo stream, mail, docs and data, find my ----, etc) all function with my iphone (so have to presume my ipad also, but this is not with me at this time) so the problem is confined to just contacts and calendar.
In summary, I do have only one icloud address but which appears to have two sets of data as the devices will communicate with something but not altogether!!
I am thoroughly confused, especially as it was all fine until I upgraded from M\Lion to Mavericks on my shiny new macpro a few weeks ago. I had moved from Windows to Apple to avoid just such problems.
Not enamoured with Apple at the moment, but thank you for your assistance - hope this is a better explanation.
Kind Regards

How can I sync email, contacts and calendar between computers and phones without a mobileme account?

I recently added a macbook pro, ipad and imac to my work accounts and I'd like to be able to sync all of them together. I believe the POP server that my company is using (small start-up) does not support this. Basically, if I read email on the laptop, it does not show as read on the imac or my iphone. If I send a message from one, it does not show up on the other devices.
I figure there has to be a solution - it's driving me crazy basically having email in 3 different locations and none of it matches.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook. I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

No longer syncing contacts and calendars between devices

Since purchasing iPhone 6 and installing all updates in that, iPad, and MacBook Air, Calendar and Contacts do not sync between the devices and iCloud. I enter new events and contacts in the computer or one of the others, and that's where they stay. Previous instructions do not correspond to the options in the current devices. Please advise.

Looking for reliable sync for contacts and calendar

Does anyone know of a reliable app that will sync contacts and calendars between my droid and my pc? I use outlook (not exchange). I have no problems syncing gmail and webmail. I tried Missing Sync but it won't bring contacts from my phone to my pc and it really doesn't sync. It creates duplicates on my phone while bringing nothing to my pc.
The operative word here is reliable.

Hi. I have my Microsoft Outlook synced to my google calendar which syncs to my iCal on my MacBook which then syncs to my Droid! LOL, a lot of different calendars but I use my PC for some things and my Mac for other things but I want them all to work together and it does with the google calendar. You can go to google, read the calendar section and it's pretty easy to set up. I have bells and whistles going off for birthdays and appointments but I never miss an event.
Good luck!

ICloud for Windows 8 doesn't sync my contacts and calendar

Hi,
iCloud for Windows 8 doen't want to sync my contacts and calendar with the local Windows 8 programs.
Look at the first line:
What's wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my bad English!

No, it's "Calendar" from Microsoft Corporation, and "Contacts" from Microsoft Corporation.
They are Windows 8 Modern UI apps, which are installed with Windows 8.1.

TS1347 I had to get a new hard drive on my laptop PC. Now I am unable to sync my contacts and calendar from my iphone to the outlook software on my PC. Although they are backed up on icloud, I really want the information on my computer.

I cannot figure out how to sync my contacts and calendar from my iphone with my windows PC. The message during the itunes sync process is that information is being backed up to both the cloud and my PC. However the Outlook software remains blank. What can I do??

Apparently Sync Manager is turned off for syncing my contacts and calendar to using Blackberry Desktop Software - how can I switch it ON?

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 a few months ago.
Up till then I was happily able to sync mac Contacts and Calendar to my Blackberry Curve 9320 via Blackberry's Desktop Manager (for Mac).
Since upgrading the software tells me to that Mac Sync Manager is turned off. I know it isn't because everything else is syncing.
When I hunt through your support I find that there are solutions for this problem for other Mac OS versions but not for Maverick, so please tell me how I can once again use my business phone happily as I did before upgrading!
Many thanks
Janet

BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Suddenly won't sync all Contacts and Calendars

I’ve been syncing my iPhone 2G with Mail, Contacts and Calendar on Outlook 2007 via USB for over a year without any problems. I recently added a Microsoft Exchange email account to Outlook on my PC but I use it only for email. The Exchange email account is NOT set up to sync with my iPhone. The Calendar and Contacts I use are in an Outlook Personal Folder and not the Contacts and Calendar associated with the Exchange account.
Ever since installing the Exchange account, the iPhone does not recognize my original Contacts and Calendar and is not syncing them. Instead it seems to sync the Exchange Contacts and Calendar, which are empty so now my phone has not Contact or Calendar data.
I have tried replacing Contacts and Calendar using the iTunes/Info/Advanced option but that didn’t work.
In iTunes/Info/Contacts and iTunes/Info/Calendars I don’t have an option to select multiple contact lists or calendars to synch.
How can I get it back to syncing the Contacts and Calendar I actually need?
Thanks

I have the exact same problem and it drives me mad - thanks for letting me know if you find a solution. Here is what I will try: export all my contacts from where they are in the pst file in outlook then "try" to reimport them in the ost file (exchange). I noticed indeed that if I create a contact in the ost file, it does get pushed over to itunes.
But there seems to be no way of telling itunes which outlook data file to use in priority, and if you select it as default in outlook you wipe out the content of your mail file on the exchange server. Not great.

ITunes won't sync my contacts and calendars

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble syncing my contacts and calendars to my iPod, because iTunes say's it doesn't have any available, and then it asks me to open that application.
This started after I forcibly shut down my computer.
I've tried replacing the information by deleting all of my contacts and calendars, and restoring using the Backup application, and I still got the same message asking me if I wan't to open iCal/Address Book.
Any solution will be appreciated.

2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook; 5.5G black iPod 30GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) Hard Drive: 60 GB; RAM: 512 MB

The most likely solution is to launch iSync
application ,and then in the preferences menu, click
on Reset Sync History button. This resets
configurations for the iTunes iPod sync process that
is dependent on the iSync system database system.
Is this the only way to do this? I am sic and tired of reseting my sync data as .Mac seams to have plenty of it's own issues. I use several computers Two for work and an extra at the office and one extra at home that I would have to then on the next sync accept all of the diolog boxes to get the most recent sync data on each computer. What a pain in the ... Not something that I want to do again as I have done it about 4+ times in the last month.

How to sync Contacts and Calendars between 2 computers and ipod?

I'm having difficulty syncing contacts on 2 computers and an iPod. Although I'm able to sync contacts from an iBook (G4/OS10.4) to an iPod Classic, when I attempt to sync the iPod to an empty address book on an Mac Pro (Intel/OS10.4) the synch goes the wrong way (and deletes the contacts on the iPod. What gives? Is there any way to sync the contacts on all 3 devices (iPod and 2 computers)? If so, how?
Same questions for Calendar...
Thanks.

As Julian points out, the present means of synchronization under Mac OS X 10.4 and later involves an entirely different technology than that originally used. You can read a technology brief here.
It has nothing at all to do with your perceived 'greed' on the part of Apple. Your iPod is essentially a read-only device, and cannot push changes back to the framework.
As he points out, there are third-party alternatives to explore, including multiuser packages of BusySync and the use of individual Google calendar accounts as intermediaries for single-user remote cross-platform synchronization.

Yosemite OS 10.10 Broke Syncing of Contacts and Calendars

I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 on my Mac Book Pro and now my iCloud Contacts and Calendar do not sync between my MBP, iPhone 6, and iPad. My iPhone is on iOS 8.1 and my iPad is on 8.0.2. I updated a contact on my iPhone today and the change didn't sync to my other devices.
My Contact and Calendars have been correctly syncing via iCloud for quite a while, now, nothing works.
Apple - basic functions like this need to always work.

This would be a reason for me not to upgrade.

How can I sync my contacts and calendars from my iPhone?

I know it seems like it should be a simple thing to do but I just got my iPad today and was trying to get my contacts and calendar that I have on my iPhone over to the iPad. I then realized that none of my contacts and calendars that I have created on my phone are on my computer... So I went to iTunes>Devices>Info and checked to sync my calendars and contacts and also made sure the replaceinfo my my iphone with content on this computer was UNchecked... but nothing has shown up in my iCal or Contacts on the computer... I am unsure of what to do!

I don't mean to sound silly, but after you checked to sync the info, did you do a sync?
you do have the option to sync between devices via iCloud. however you may wish to back up the info if you can because iCloud ate all my contacts.
Another more tedious way is to e-mail your contacts, one at a time, and open the e-mail on your iPad and computer and save it.
