Unable to sync calendar from iphone to itunes etc- message coming up

Hi,
Since I did an upgrade of itunes on my phone I keep getting this error when trying to sync with my phone and itunes
"iTunes could not sync calendars to the iphone "iphone" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone."
Any advice on how I can sync would be helpful as it is difficult when things arent updated.
Thanks

I have the same problem.
After upgrading to latest iTunes I got an error saying "Itunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes". I fixed this by going into programs, found iTunes, right click and click repair (as detailed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2775935&tstart=0 )
So now I have same problem, iTunes can not sync calendars to the iphone.
I only ever have problems like this after an upgrade. Very frustrating and time-wasting Apple!

Select your iphone on the left in itunes, then select the info tab and then choose the calendars, contacts, emails etc you want to sync.

Unable to sync Ical from Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11.

I am unable to sync Ical from my Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11. (and yes, the Iphone shows up as recognised in the sidebar and will sync Ical from Macbook to Iphone.) All ideas welcome.

If Damon's suggestion of resetting sync history doesn't fix the problem you most likely have a bad contact record in iCal. When they sync encounters the bad record it doesn't know what to do with it so it stops. To fix it you must find the bad record, open it, make a small change, and save it. An easy way to find the bad record is to create a new group and set the iPhone to sync to this group. Put a few records into the group at a time, then sync. At some point the sync will fail or hang. You have then narrowed the problem to a few records.

Syncing Apps from iPhone to iTunes with folder grouping

Hi,
I have close to 200 apps on my iPhone structured into approx 50 folders.
These apps are downloaded firectly from iTunes (via wifi).
Now, i want to sync them to my PC via iTunes.
I used the option "Transfer purchases" for that.
But the folder are not synced.
If choose Sync App options, i am afraid i will loose all my folders and it will really time consuming to create them again.
How can get my folders and Apps from iPhone to iTunes ?
Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

Apps are transferred automatically (most of the time, that is!) during the backup that runs prior to the sync (unless you've disabled backup)
If you are syncing your apps, you will see (in the app sync pane) a visual representative of your phone, all pages, and that includes the folders. You will not lose any of them.
Like ChrisJ4203 says, you need to be syncing to the same iTunes library as your Apple ID on your phone, and that iTunes library must be authorized by you.

Syncing calendars from iPhone5s and iPad. Syncing calendars from iPhone 4 with mac

Can I sync my calendar from my iPhone 5 with my iPad? If so, how?
Also, can I sync calendars from my iPhone 4 with my mac? If so, how?

Hi hpd0203,
There are a number of different ways of syncing calendars between your Apple devices. One of the easiest ways is to use iCloud. See this article for an introduction -
Apple - iCloud - All your content on all your devices.

Why cant i sync contacts/calendar from iphone to itunes

Hi
I have just ordered a new iPhone 6 plus and awaiting its arrival. I currently have an iPhone 4 which I inherited from my dad, so it was still listed as his phone when I plugged into iTunes, but my outlook email address is listed as the current active email account on the phone. Problem is, when I try to sync my mail, contacts and calendars to iTunes (when signed in with the apple id that matches my outlook email address) so as to back up the device ready for transfer to my new iPhone, I am unable to, it only backs up the apps on the phone. When I click on the phone in iTunes and select the info section, it says that I can only sync 'windows contacts' (there is no other option in the drop down menu) and underneath that I cannot sync calendars because outlook must be installed, and further below under the 'sync mail accounts' section there is no accounts listed. So I suppose I have a number of questions which don't seem to be specifically answered anywhere, or I cant find them-
1. Is the issue because the IPhone I am trying to sync was not the original one that I had synced on iTunes to my apple id, or because my dads iPhone was registered to another email account? Do I then need to ensure that the phone is mapped only to my iTunes account?
2. Or, Is the issue because I don't have Microsoft outlook installed on the PC hard drive? I am using windows 8 and login to the PC using my email account and can access outlook using the mail app.
3. Or. is the issue related to another article I have found about Apple and Microsoft refusing to fix an underlying issue to allow this?
4. If I were able to do what I am trying to do, would my entire contacts library stored on the phone be transferred to iTunes as back up for transfer to the new phone, or would it just be my outlook contacts? (I would hope the entire contact list stored in the phone)
Appreciate any help, what I am trying to do should be quite simple but after a few hours trying and searching I fear it may be easier to just copy everything over manually which doesn't sound right!!

You should be able to do this just as you did in iPhone. You can use OS X's mail application. Go to Preferences menu and you'll see an Accounts tab. Go from there.
This looks like a Mac question, though.

Still unable to sync calendar from Outlook with iPhone 2.0.1 / 7.7.1.11

I have an older non-3G iPhone which worked fine on sync’ing with Outlook2007 running on my Vista laptop. Then the upgrades to 2.0 and 7.7 came through automatically, and ever since sync’ing just doesn’t work.....
Leaving aside all the problems that I’ve had over the past month, and the various suggested solutions that I’ve tried (all unsuccessfully), my current situation with 2.0.1 and 7.7.1.11 is that:
1. iTunes is currently set up so that it does not sync anything automatically on startup
2. But on starting iTunes with the iPhone on the USB port, the first thing I get is that “OutlookSyncClient has stopped working” (why? I’m not trying to sync anything yet – and I don’t use either MobileMe or Exchange)
3. Then if I go to the “info” tab for my iPhone, select “Sync Calendars with Outlook” and select “all calendars”,
4. When I select “apply”, the “all calendars” button is automatically de-selected, and the “selected calendars” button selected
5. But the “selected calendars” selection box is empty – so there is no calendar to select
6. Not surprisingly, the calendar on my iPhone is now empty
(I haven’t dared try sync’ing contacts yet – I’d be lost without my contacts on my phone).
Other info is that:
a) I use Microsoft Office Live Mail through Izymail (POP3 works OK through Wi-Fi, but has never worked over any other iPhone connection)
b) I’ve two calendars – one in my Personal Files PST and one in my Office Live Mail account (but iTunes doesn’t seem able to see either for selection)
c) My Outlook calendar is only held locally on my PC – not on my Office Live account
d) My Outlook uses some Add-ins – I’ve deleted all that I don’t need – the only third party one (other than the iTunes add-in) is for my Dymo label printer. The rest are shown as inactive.
e) My PST file is (now) a Unicode PST file
f) I’ve trid sync’ing both with and without “replace information on this iPhone”, and I’ve tried deleting the iTunes sync history, all without any improvement
Any/all suggestions are welcomed for trying to solve this (my suspicion is that if I can get iTunes to ‘see’ my Outlook calendars I could select one and it might sync OK?).
Many thanks in advance
Phil

I followed the procedure for iSync in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7477550&#7477550
Here is the procedure:
Move the SyncServices folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices to the desktop
Trash all the caches in ~/Library/Caches
Restart machine (with fingers crossed)

Unable to sync contacts from iPhone to Address Book...works the other way

I am unable to have changes on my iPhone reflect in my Mac's address book. For example, I would delete a contact on the iphone, but it stays there in the Mac's address book after sync. The worst part is that now on subsequent syncs, the contact is never added back to the phone or deleted from the computer. I am able to create as many contacts as I want on the phone and sync them to the address book, but just not delete modify them.
Creating/deleting contacts in the address book works.
So far, I have tried:
1. Resetting the sync history.
2. Replacing all my iPhone contacts with those in address book.
3. Unselecting and reselecting sync contacts from iTunes.
4. Archiving my address book, deleting everything in it, syncing, and then repopulating it.
5. Restoring my iPhone.
None of this has worked, and I am close to pulling my hair out. I just fixed issues with the new Safari bookmarks sync, and now this. Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
This is what my console looks like:

PS: Restoring my iPhone messed up the name in iTunes. Any way to get back the name I had earlier?

Thanks for the idea of looking at the Console. I've created new contacts on my MacBook and my iPhone, but neither is syncing to the other, in fact a new contact group I created in Address Book doesn't even show up in the list of groups in the Contacts sync window in iTunes. Here's what the Console says every time I sync:

Syncing Calendars with iPhone via iTunes

On my iPhone I have calendars from my MobileMe Account and calendars from the sync function in iTunes. This has given my duplicates in many instances. So now I've gone into iTunes to check my settings and see that iCal calendars are only to be synced using MobileMe. Thinking a iTunes sync with no calendars selected would fix this problem, I refigured those settings with only one calendar selected. However, it is taking forever for Calendars to sync with my iPhone.
What is going on here?

Turned Calendar Syncing on my iPhone off then back on again. When the iPhone asked to merge calendars I said yes. Fixed the problem.

Sync VoiceMemos from iPhone to iTunes - Problem

Hello. New member here. I have an 8G 3GS iPhone which is getting close to maxing out on space. I have several lengthy voice memos on the phone (30-90 minutes), which I'd like to store on my Mac Mini / iTunes, however, I can't get them to Sync. The iPhone doesn't show up in Finder, so I can't move them that way either. I have called the Apple Tech Support line 3 times, but they were unable to help me (much to my dismay). I have also read several posts on various sites, but none of the instructions seem to work for me. I need to manually manage my music library on the phone because my iTunes libary on the Mac is ~350G. I have tried clicking sync only selected playlists and voicememos on the iTunes Music tab, but all it does is wipe out my phone's iTunes and does not move the voice memos to my Mac Mini. I have even tried deleting the VoiceMemos playlist on my iTunes in hopes that it would create a new one and transfer the files, but with no luck. Help!!!

hi. thanks for the suggestion. it's a consideration, but honestly, between the $1,000 and $300 I spent on the Mac Mini and iPhone, respectively, you'd think that the functionality which is supposed to be inherent in the devices would work! my understanding from other posts and from the apple support line is that this is possible, i just can't seem to get a straight answer on the correct settings to make it work. i'll keep looking. thx.

How to sync things from Iphone to Itunes

Hi! i have a LOT of photos, contacts, calaendar things, notes and music and ringtones
How do i sync these things to itunes/my computer (I run windows 7).
How do I get my photos onto itunes? nd how do I get them arranged into albums?
How do I get my contacts into itunes? andhow do I back up my 'notes' and voice recordings?
And how do I email apple for advice?

How do i sync these things to itunes/my computer (I run windows 7).
Sync what things? Some data is transferred only via the iTunes sync process, and some data can by synced with a supported application on your computer such as with contacts, calendar events, notes, and Safari bookmarks. All options are available under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
How do I get my photos onto itunes? nd how do I get them arranged into albums?
iTunes does not store photos. iTunes is used as the sync conduit between the supported application on your computer and your iPhone for contacts, calendar events, notes, and Safari bookmarks, and iTunes is used to transfer selected photos or selected folders/albums of photos from your computer to your iPhone.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, which is not done with iTunes. When there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
How do I get my contacts into itunes? andhow do I back up my 'notes' and voice recordings?
iTunes does not store contacts. As already provided, iTunes serves as the sync conduit between a supported application on your computer and your iPhone for syncing contacts. With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events and notes.
Your iPhone voice recordings can be transferred from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. An iTunes playlist will be created automatically when doing so which is named Voice Memos.
And how do I email apple for advice?
Apple doesn't provide support for the iPhone via email. You can visit these user to user discussions area which is provided and moderated by Apple to ask fellow users a question - there are some very knowledgable folks here. And Apple provides technical support documents here also.

Or you can call AppleCare for telephone support, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

How can i sync podcasts from iphone to itunes?

Here's my situation:
I have an iPhone 5c that I have always synced with iTunes on a laptop that belonged to my workplace. But I have left that job now, and with it, I have left the laptop. I now want to sync that same iPhone 5c on my iMac at home. This iMac has an iTunes that has NO podcasts on it ...
But when I prepare to sync the phone in iTunes and I click the podcasts tab and check the "Sync Podcasts" checkbox, it asks if I want to delete all the podcasts on the iPhone. I definitely *don't* want to do this ... I want those podcasts on the iPhone to be part of my backup on the computer. Many of these podcasts are older and no longer available for download from their original sources.
Is there any way that I can achieve this? It's not like I paid for any of these podcasts -- it's all free content, so I'm not breaking any copyright issues here.
Thanks for any help....

How do I sync voicememo from IPhone to itune?

It works the first time..but I don't know what I did wrong. I was deleting something because it kept transfering the old voicememo from itune to my IPhone. Now it doesn't sync any voicememos recorded on my IPhone or even the old ones I have to Itune. I already clicked "include voice memo", and it shows in playlist, but it doesn't show anything on voicemmo page. It doesn't show "voice memo" as playlist on music page either.
I would like to sync only the new voicememo recorded in my IPhone to Itune. Thanks

I know exactly what you're going through. I may win the prize for having the most number of photos on my iPhone (2,397) that couldn't get downloaded. I have never been able to export photos from my iPhone to any of my Macs using iPhoto or Image Capture. (And yes, all OS and apps are the latest revisions). Nor have any of the popular apps like Picasa2, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Windows native Camera & Scanner Wizard been able to do it on my Windows machines. BUT, the only 3rd party app that I had any success with was the Tansee iPhone Transfer Photo program. It downloaded 884 photos from my iPhone before that app stopped working, for some reason. It cost $20USD and works on Windows only. You may have better luck than I downloading all your photos.

How do I sync music from iphone to itunes?

I lost all titles from itunes when I upgraded to the new itunes. Apple allowed me to download them again (thanks Apple). However, there is music on my phone from CDs uploaded prior to the loss of the titles. They exist on my phone but not in the pc. How do I sync music from the phone to the pc? I miss the drag/drop method!

You would have to use 3rd party programs. Try youtube, they would give you tutorials and the name of the program. There was one program I used but it deleted after I got all my music out my iphone.

Syncing apps FROM IPHONE TO ITUNES!!!

The Iphone allows you to download apps onto the phone __from the phone__ but I can't find how to sync those apps I bought via the phone with apps in my Itunes library...???!~!!! It appears as though I will loose those apps if I upgrade my software version.

And after transferring purchases from your iPhone and confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone are now in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and make sure all apps currently installed on your iPhone are selected below. Select Apply.
Now after downloading an app direct with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
