please help!

The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar.  I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.

  • My iPhone 5c is not recognized by my MacBook Pro or iTunes even though my software and hardware is up to date?

    Even though my software and hardware is up to date my new iPhone 5c is not recognized by my computer or itunes, it does not even load or show up on my desktop.  Is anyone else having this problem?
    I'm afraid it may be related to activating the phone in the store earlier today and not having my computer on hand?

    Hi Anybody
    I seemed to have picked something on my MacBook Pro that hits me with a survey that involves winning a new iPhone 5 or iPad.  Is there anything you can advise to get rid of whatever it is?  Bear in mind I am a greenhorn with regard to computers!

    I did download clamXav software as someone on line recommended it which duly scanned my computer and located some infected files.  However, I don't know how to select these files to delete them.   Does anyone know an idiot's guide for this software?

  • My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    Ah, sure it actually won't.  I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support.  They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
    The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug.  It's a feature!!"
    Personally, I think this is insane.  While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
    I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
    By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection.  There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network.  The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place.  At least mine won't.

  • I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error.

    I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609.  Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2.  My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.

  • My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
    The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
    No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
    I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
    Hope that helps!

  • My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • How do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro, how do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro

    HELP
    how do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro, how do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro
    Runnig 10.6.8 on a MacBook PRO.....

    The easiest fix if you're running Snow Leopard is to export all your contacts, then import them into something like google (I already had a gmail account), and then just use google to sync your contacts instead of icloud (via the sync with Google button in the address book settings).
    Its a bit sluggish to update, but it works well.  You can then point your iphone, and other iOS devices to use google for contacts too.
    If Apple don't want to look after their customers, other companies will gladly do so....

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
    If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

  • Mail through Comcast exhange perfect on iPhone and iPad but intermittent problems on MacBook Pro?

    I run on an exchange server through Comcast. My exchange mail works perfectly on my iPhone and iPad but doesn't work properly most of the time on my MacBook Pro.  My MacBook is not that old. This happened with Snow Leopard. I just updated to Lion and it's happening with Lion too. It's happening with iCal, Contacts and Outlook too. Any ideas why it's working fine on iPhone and iPad but problems on the MacBook Pro? This is very frustrating. I'm having to respond to emails on my iPad when I'm right next to my laptop. Gmail emails work fine with laptop. Seems to be a problem with my MacBook and exchange server. Thank you.
