Syncing with gCal but NOT Google Contacts

Everything I've found so far offers instruction on how to sync all of your Google account with your iphone but I only want to sync my gCal. Can't figure it out. Is this possible?

Go into settings in iPhone, tap Mail,Contacts, Calendars. Under Accounts select Gmail, assuming you have set up Gmail on your iPhone. Turn on Mail and Calendars and notes if you want and your Gcal will sync to iPhone but you cannot upload back to Gcal from iPhone. Plenty of app available for that.

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

Iphone Calendar Invites sync with OWA but not Entourage

I have a MacBook Air (OS X 10.5.7), iPhone 3g (running os 3.0) and Office 2008. I have Entourage set up and running for email and contacts but it only syncs one-way for calendar - from Entourage/Exchange to iPhone, but not the reverse.
The iPhone syncs with changes made in Entourage/Exchange calendar.
If I create a calendar event on my iPhone, it will show up in OWA, but not in the Entourage calendar. If I accept a calendar invite on the iPhone, it shows up in OWA, but not in Entourage.
If I create an appointment or calendar event in Entourage, it shows up in OWA and the iPhone.
If I create an invite for an event on the iPhone, other participants receive the invite.
The only thing that doesn't work is creating or accepting a calendar event on the iPhone or OWA and seeing it in Entourage. Help! Very frustrated.

On your iPhone, go to settings and then mail,contacts,calendar,etc. Change your default calendar to Entourage.

I want to sync my Outlook calendar with iCloud but NOT my contacts

I use Outlook at home (on a PC using Windows 7) and that's where the vast majority of my work is done.
I would like to use iCloud on the PC to synchronize my Outlook calendar with my other iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), but I do NOT want my contacts shared.
When I go to the iCloud control panel on my PC, there is a single box to select Calendar and Contacts - but I don't see a way to do calendar and not contacts.
Does anyone know how this can be done?

Not possible.

Exchange calendar syncs with iPhone, but not iCal

Hi all,
My new employer uses Outlook, and my iPhone is permitted to be setup with an account which will access email, contacts and calendars. My events from my Outlook calendar automatically appear in my iPhone calendar, but do not show up on my MBP in iCal.
Is there a way to sync my Exchange account calendar on my iPhone with the MobileMe cloud, and have that calendar then put on my MBP?
The employer does not yet allow us to have an exchange account on our Macs -- we have to use MS Outlook Web Access.
Thanks,
Boris

Dear Ckuan,
Thank you very much for this speedy response. I appreciate it.
I'm trying to avoid updating my Mac OS (I'm on 10.6.8, which doesn't support iCloud), because my MacBook is a little old.
If you, or anyone, can suggest a way of making the sync work via the cable connection, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks again,
Caroline

IPhone 4s sync with MacBookPro but not with iMac

Hi!
My new iPhone 4s 6.1.3 sync perfectly well with my MacBookPro 10.8.4 but my iMac 10.7.5 never recognize it.
I already:
- Restarted my iMac and my iPhone 4s several times
- Have done a "restore from backup" on my phone
- Have restored the phone to factory settings
- Tried disconnecting the phone multiple times
- Used different cables
- Used all usb ports in my iMac
- Uninstalled iTunes and all its components and re-installed it
- Downgraded iTunes 11.0.4 to 10.7
- Repair permissions in iMac
- Remove third-party software (like Little Snitch, Peer Guardian, ...) [NOTE: this software are installed in my MacBookPro too. The MacBookPro is a exact copy of the iMac. Software, preferences, documents, etc, are identical]
- Started iMac in Safe Mode
But syncing still don't work between iPhone 4s and iMac.
iTunes don't recognize it, but the iPhone charge the battery when I plug it to the iMac.
ITunes in MacBookPro always recognized the phone since I bought it.
What else can I try?
Many thanks for your help and suggestions!

Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS

1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3.     Select "See All Options"
4.      Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it. I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.
-Tyler

Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs. It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes. If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
NOTE: If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music. Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content. If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod. Or you can use existing playlists. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod. The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.
