TS3999 Sync Problem: Home iCal Calendar from iMac - iPhone 3GS via iCloud

I'm unable to sync Home iCal Calendar from iMac (Snow Lion) to iPhone 3GS via iCloud - events appear correctly on iCloud.com but not pushed to iPhone. However Home events created on the phone sync fine in other direction (appearing correctly on iCloud & iCal) - but they can only be amended on the phone.
My other Work iCal Calendar works perfectly in both directions.
Have tried various suggestions to fix but to no avail. Any help appreciated - thanks.

Really appreciating your help/time; it's so frustrating to try & sort this on your own!
So when I switch off iCloud on the phone, it asks me if I wish to retain the events from the iCloud - and I select it to delete them.
Then I go back into Calendar app, and I press on Calendar button(top left) I can see the On My iPhone" Calendar. If I select this to display I can see the events previously described. I then shut the phone off.
Having restarted the phone, I go back into iCloud settings to switch Calendars on and to at last answer your question (!!) there is no question to ask me to merge data (this good as it would duplicate entries)
Going back into Calendar app, it claims to be displaying both Home & Work calendars, but it only shows events in the Work calendar.
I've tried this a number of times and it is totally consistent in its failure to take Home events from the iCloud; I can't see anything different in the setup of the 2 calendars - do you think its a bug?
Thanks again

    I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

    That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
    If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
    If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

  • I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar from my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes, I have tried everything, even the icloud doesn't seem to do it.

    I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar to the Address Book or iCal via iTunes, I have tried everything including watching support videos and putting this into a search engine. Even icloud doesn't seem to be doing it.

    If you are trying to sync via iCloud, make sure your MacBook is running OSX Lion 10.7.7, and that you have set up your iPhone as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and you MacBook as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.htm (including turning On Contacts and Calendars as shown in step 3).  If you're syncing via iCloud don't check to sync in iTunes too (on the Info tab in iTunes) or you may end up with duplicate data.

  • 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??

  • Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

    I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:
    "Error downloading Image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
    If anyone else is having the same problem, please advise on how to fix.
    Thanks,

    I am having the same problem...
    and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
    "Import Error"
    Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
    so any suggestions... ( I am emailing all that I can to myself ... maybe ridding everything will help)

  • 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.

  • Syncing other calendars from my iPhone

    Currently I have my iPhone set up to sync with my work calendar (from Outlook).
    I can also see my iCloud/Mac Book Calendars on the phone, and when I set up an appointment in iCal - it will sync to the iphone through the icloud.
    The question is, is it possible to read my Work Calendar from the iphone to the iCloud and therefore onto my Mac?

    Thanks for the help Carolyn, however I can sync appointments from my phone to Mac book already - through iCloud - this is already set up.
    The problem is that on my iPhone I can see all my calendars (includes work from Outlook + Mac Calendar) but I can't see both on my Mac (only the Mac Calendar) - basically what I'd like to do is see all my phone calendars on my Mac aswell (ie. Work & Mac Calendar)  does that make sense?!

  • Can I sync iCal calendars from two iMac's together?

    Can I sync iCal calendars from two iMac's together?

    brettjbyers
    No you cannot sync an iPhoto library between two macs. If you do you will corrupt the iPhoto Library file. iPhoto is a consumer level app, and this feature is not supported.
    What you can do is share the photos but not the library. Each machine will need to have it's own library file.
    The easiest way to do it this is to enable sharing (in the iPhoto Preferences) on both machines (one sharing the library, the other looking for the share). When you do this the shared library will appear in the Source (or left-hand) pane and pics can be dragged from that to the library in the other machine.

  • 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 am trying to sync my calendar from my Iphone to my mac at home.  It wont show any of the work calendar entries.  All the entries from my home show up fine on both.  I have Icloud so dont know what I am doing wrong?

  • Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?

    Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?  I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard.  So, here's my situation. 
    I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro.  I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1.  I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac.  Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it.  Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created.  Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.

    On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section).  Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default.  If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
    You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete.

  • I cannot sync calendars from the iphone to the ipad but works the other way aroung.  Also music not syncing. Everything else seems to sync fine

    I am unable to sync my calendars from the iphone 4S to the ipad but the calendars do sync from the ipad to the phone.  Music also does not sync either way.  Everything else seems to be OK.  Anyone have this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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).
    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.
    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.
    With regard to your music, what exactly are you expecting to happen.
