Unable to sync ical from laptop to iphone.

The sync process takes about 5 minutes and nothing gets synced. I tried checking the button to replace the iphone data with the laptop data but still nothing happens. Any ideas?

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.

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.

Problem syncing music from laptop to iphone

hello,
So I've had my laptop and my phone for a while, never had any problem with syncing my phone, until now.
I have installed OS X Yosemite around the same period when I got this problem, maybe that has something to do with it, I don't know.
Anyways, so when i try to sync the music tomy phone, i get a window that says: 'the iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchases items that are on this iPhone. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose store > authorize this computer'
So I did that, then i get a window saying: 'This computer is already authorised. Including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your available 5.'
I've tried deauthorizing and authorizing it again, login out and in again, didn't work.
So i'm asking you, I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out, I miss listening to my music with my phone.
thank you,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
It sounds like iTunes is asking you to authorize your computer for iTunes purchases, even though it's already authorized. I would miss listening to music on my iPhone in this case, as well.
Logging out/in and deauthorizing/authorizing were good steps, and next I'd recommend the steps mentioned in this troubleshooting article:

All the best,
Jeremy

Syncing Contacts from laptop to iPhone 3GS

I've noticed that for a while now, new contacts entered on the macbook are not synced to my iphone during sync! So I don't have all my needed info with me when I'm away from the computer - grrrr...!
I've tried several things, to no avail:
using an older backup
resetting iSync
setting up a one-time sync where Address book on the laptop is supposed to replace what's on the phone.
Anyone else solve this problem?

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 music from PC to iPhone 5 after installing ISO8

I really hope someone can help me as I have been struggling for over 30 hours trying now (in between studying and sleeping). I have been using iTunes for years, and I regularly create new playlists and sync them. Last weekend I installed ISO 8 and deleted some music off my iphone to create enough room. After installing it I connected my iphone 5 to my PC using a usb lead, selected the tracks and playlists I wanted to sync and hit SYNC. It ran through the steps 1 to 4 as usual, but then instead of listing the tracks it was syncing at the top (like normal) it just finished, completed, but the tracks are not on my iphone. I have been doing this for years, I am not an expert but I know how to sync music, it is just not working and I really need the playlists for a dance project at college tomorrow. I have received a couple of error messages, one stating "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. The disk could not be read from or written to" and another about syncing error. I am really desperate, any suggestions would be most greatly appreciated.

You need to free up storage space on your PC in order to sync iTunes content.

Sharing iCal from Laptop to iPhone - synching colour ???

I want to use iCal across my Mac and iPhone. BUT when I synch the two I find that I lose some of the entries. The MAIN ones in my name & main colour are saved to iPhone BUT I also created entries in other colours EG business, social, colleague's diary etc .. and these are not being copied across. Any suggestions? Thanks

Unable to sync music from itune to iphone

it will start to sync then the last thing it says "waiting for changes to be applied" I have done all the updates what do I do

Hello, lopezen714.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Normally this indicates system information changes are being applied on the iOS device. However, this could be related to security software conflicts. It also can be related to any other mobile device software. I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below and if any old mobile device software is installed, uninstall them.

Help! I synced my iCal from my old iPhone to iCloud. It worked great. I've done this because I'm switching to a Samsung phone and need to sync my iCal to my Google calendar. In attempting to do so today, my iCal is empty. How can I retrieve my iCal info??

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

How can I sync my contact list from laptop to iphone?

How can I sync my contact list from laptop to iphone? My contact list is in Microsoft Outlook. I want to go from laptop to iphone and not vice versa.

I use iCloud to sync calendar and contacts using Outlook 2010 on my Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 desktop, an iPhone 5S, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 4. For example if I make a change/add/delete a contact on my iPhone 5S the change is reflected over on the other devices basically instantaneously...

You need to setup iCloud on an iOS device first...
