TS1627 Sync iCal between MacBook and iPhone5

I have searched for weeks/months to be able to find a fix for sync'ing iCal between MacBook (Snow Leopard OS) and iPhone 5
There are many workarounds that looked way too complicated to install.
This fix is simple and works - recommended to anyone

Synching mail on a computer and an iPhone doesn't synch the actual mail, but rather the account settings.
As to why you're deleting emails on your macbook and yet still seeing them on your phone is that you most likely have a POP account, and not an IMAP or Exchange. This is a function of the type of mail account you have, not of the synching between the phone and computer.

How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

Hello,
How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
Hope this helps.

Errors when saving contacts locally and syncing them between MacBook and iCloud

Last night I detected that the synchronisation of contacts between my MacBookPro (Yosemite, 13" Retina, late 2013) and iCloud is no longer working. Sync between iCloud and iOS devices (with iOS 8.1) works fine.
The problem effects the exchange of information from MBP to iCloud as well as the other way around. However, the issues are slightly different.
No matter what changes (changing existing contacts, creating new ones or creating/changing groups) I do directly in iCloud (which I usually don't do – I was just testing), none of them get synced to my MBP (though they do sync to all iOS devices).
If I do work on my MBP the situation is a bit different:
If I change any existing contact, those changes are not synced.
If I create a new contact in the "all contacts" group, it syncs to iCloud. If I make changes to that newly created contact, they are again not synced.
If I create a new contact in any other group, the contact does not sync.
If I create a new group, that group is displayed in iCloud as "new group", i.e. the name I gave it is lost on the way... If I add contacts to this group (again on the MPB), they do not sync.
If I create a new group using the option "create group from selected contacts" those contacts are synced to iCloud but the name of the group is again only "new group". Contacts added later to that group also don't sync.
Worst of all, everything that does not sync to iCloud, is lost once I close the Contacts app, meaning this information is not even stored on my MPB. OS X does not display any error messages. However, looking into the console, I found this message repeatedly whenever I was making changes to contacts etc (not only upon closing the app):

I have tried the troubleshooting listed here: Get help using iCloud Contacts (i.e. disabled and reenabled the sycn through iCloud in Preferences > iCloud and checked the login information etc)
And I also do not exceed any of the limits for contacts listed here: iCloud: Limits for Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, and Bookmarks
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't know if this is applicable for you, but this solved it for me.
My initial situation was the following, Ipad, Iphone and iMac where syncing well. But not my Macbook Pro. So I did this Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support and this Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing - Apple Support . As result all my contacts, even the view I had where gone on my macbook. I tried rebooting and restartting but nothing helped.
Then I did the following. I backuped all the cards from contacts on my imac (by moving them into a folder) and backuped them by export as archive.
Afterwards I disconnected from icloud on my imac, then reconected and deleted all contacts from the addressbook. I double checked if they where gone on icloud.com too. Afterwards I just moved them back from the folder to the address book. again double checked on icloud.com and the my macbook started syncing properly.
Which of the things I finally solved it, I don't know for sure. But I assume it was the one with deleting and restoring everything on another machine.

How to sync Ibooks between Macbook and iPhone?

Hi, doesn't anyone knwos how to sync my library between Iphone and Macbook?
Thanks
Carlo

I created an empty collection in iBooks on my MacBook, then synced with my iPad, and nothing seemed to happen. I did the Home button double-click on the iPad, killed iBooks, then went back to the MacBook and synced again. The new collection then showed up on the iPad. Might help.
...and from another thread: Select a book or collection in iBooks and press the Delete key to delete it. There will be a warning/Cancel/OK dialog.

Sync email between macbook and iphone

I cannot sync iCal between MacBook Air and iPhone!

My appointments just does not sync. When I make an appointment on iPhone it does not get into iCal on my Macbook. And appointments made on Macbook does not get into iCal on the iPhone when syncing. I use to work. I checked the sync calender tab in iTunes. Any ideas?
Thanks

I have the same problem.

ITunes 11 cannot sync iCal between phone and macbook?

Is no one else having this issue? It seems that with iTunes 11 they have taken away the option to sync your calendar events through iTunes and now you can only do it through iCloud. Well if you're running OS 10.6 you don't have iCloud. Is there anyway around this? I uninstalled iTunes 11 and installed 10.6.3 but then it wouldn't open because my iTunes library was created by a new version. So I just gave up and went back to iTunes 11. I have a lot of events on my macbook's iCal that would take forever for me to transfer manually, especially since iOS 6 still doesn't even allow you to copy and paste events. I'm beyond frustrated. Does anyone have an easy solution to this? I've tried GMail but all of the tutorials were confusing, and when I tried to set up my GMail account in iCal on my Macbook pro and it kept giving me errors and saying it couldn't communicate with the server or something. I believe all of this is a huge oversight by Apple and it's alienating a lof of users.

I have the same problem. This is very recent, and seems to be because I upgraded the OS in both cases. Before I did that, everything was fine. So, now, any event that I input on the Iphone 3GS fails to show up on the Macbook Air. Not only that, when I tried the override button in Itunes, as my calendar entries in the computer were now newly made, it would not synch it on my phone.
The final straw is that any calendar invite I get, refuses to be assigned on my calendar...
Took it to the Apple Support folks here, and after 3-4 hours, all they did was what I told them I had already done - to do a full restore... nothing happens. In fact, whenever I do this, I get an additional repitition of calendar entries from the older events... so, I have 6 anniversaries of my own now, and 3 birthday renditions of my friends - on the same date... !

Syncing ical on macbook and iphone the times change by two hours

I set up all of the events on my macbook ical and when i sync with my iphone it changes the time by two hours on my calendar for the iphone. i have checked and both devices are accurate on the day and time. Is there something I am missing. It is a hassle having to change all of the events in my iphone each time i sync...........all help would be appreciated.

Am having exact same problem. Have checked, double-checked and re-checked all time & date settings, time zones, etc. to no avail. iCal on Mac now seems to be responding properly, but many of my events on iPhone will display correctly when opened but +2 hours on list at bottom of month view. There is no way I can figure out to edit time zone on iPhone cal event like there is on the Mac.

How do I selectively sync contacts between MacBook and iPhone?

I see several posts mentioning select groups, etc. in iTunes. But when I enter the "Info" tab in iTunes, the only option (radio button) available is "All contacts;" "Select groups" is greyed out.
Wait - my MacBook Pro's Addressbook doesn't seem to allow me to create any group to start with. Any pointers?

This is most likely an OS X Address Book question.

Syncing audiobook between iPhone and MacBook

Hello,
is it somehow possible to sync the current position of an audiobook between MacBook and iPhone?
E.g. if I listen to an audiobook on my MacBook and want to continue on my iPhone I need a way to sync the current time.
Does anyone know, if there's a way?

Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.

Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
Any ideas?!

Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself. When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again. Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now. If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

Transfer iPhoto between Macbook and iMac

I just managed to transfer my iPhoto contents from MacBook to iMac and thought I would share this.
I needed to do this because my Macbook hard drive is full and I have plenty of space on my iMac.
Connect MacBook and iMac with Ethernet network cable (I found this the fastest way but you may connect via your home network wifi connection as well)
In MacBook, Open Finder and on the left pane under Shared, click on your iMac.
show items as Columns by clicking on third icon on the top pane.
Make a folder somewhere on your iMac by right clicking on white space. (I made a folder under Pictures)
Click on this new folder (which should be second column in the view) and third column will be empty as there are no items in this new folder.
In MacBook, Open iPhoto application, on the left pane click on Photos which will show all your photos in the view.
Now adjust the size of this iPhoto window and above Finder window so you can see them next to each other.
To test, just drag one or two photos from iPhoto window to Finder window in the third column (which is empty as there are no items in this new folder)
If successful, drag other Photos or Videos as required and test by opening this new folder on your iMac. that's it. hope this helps.

I'm afraid your explanation of what you've done is not clear.
Did you copy the Library from one machine to the other?
or
Did you back up the Library to another Library?
The distinction is important:
In your title you ask about
synchronize iphoto between MacBook and iMac...
If you mean one direction copying - that is, backing up Library A to Library B, then you'll have no problems.
However, if you try +bi-directional copying+ - that is changes in Library A reflected in Library B and changes in Library B also reflected in Library B you will corrupt one or both Libraries. No syncing software can parse the Library database to do bi-directional copying.
Is there something not working if you have the iPhoto library stored as a folder instead of a package?
No.
Isn't it easier to have the iPhoto library as a folder instead of a package to synchronize it with another Mac using rsync?
iPhoto is a consumer application designed to be manipulated in the GUI.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
So, by running it as a Folder you facilitate this.

TD

Recent software upgrade has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook, and diary items no longer upload from my iPhone. I've tried a to fix it and seem to have made things worse. What is the best way to get the two devices in sync ?

Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.

You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check  > System Preferences > iCloud.
If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected.
