Why is my iOS 7.0.4 (iPhone 4S) events not syncing to ical on Mac OS 10.6.8?

Recently, I discovered one of my Calendars (Work) was not syncing from my iPhone 4S to my iCal. I believe any event that is being entered into the iPhone does not get transcribed to iCal, which is limiting my ability to manage a few things . . . basically, it has bricked the ability to reliably use the calendar on my computer.
It appears this has been a reacurring issue, because I have found many postings as well as solutions. I have tried a number of things including emptying out he calendar folder in User > Library with no avail . . .
Is there a solution that I'm missing and more current to my iOS & OS?

iCloud is not supported on OS X 10.6.8

  • IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

    Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
    Restarting iPhone
    Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
    Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
    This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
    I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
    I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

  • Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

    My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
    so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
    anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
    problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
    related problem?
    thank
    Hein

    I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
    Below that is:
    "From My Mac.
    "All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
    This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
    Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
    Hope this helps you.

  • IPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11

    My new iPhone 3Gs will not sync/charge on my mac OSX 10.4.11, but will charge on my friends OSX 10.6.7, what do I do?

    Call AppleCare and ask them if they still have an available copy or check on Amazon, eBay, etc. If your computer will support it you will be better off buying a retail copy of Snow Leopard instead.

  • IPhone Calendar Changes not Syncing with ICal

    Additions and changes to my iPhone calendar are not synced with ICal on my Mac. Syncing the other direction (adding or changing appointments on my Mac) works, but nothing I change or add on my iPhone appears on my Mac (the same seems to be true of contacts and notes). I have the same problem with an iPod touch.
    Has anyone else experienced (and fixed) a similar problem? As it ism the iPhone-Mac sync only works in one direction!

    I had the same problem, and then all my calendars stopped syncing either way. They picked a beautiful time to do it, too... right as I was leaving on a business/pleasure vacation where I was making on the fly appointments. grumble
    However, I fixed it tonight. Here is what I did.
    1. Back up (export) all your iCal calendars. (not just good practice, you'll need them later) Make sure iCal is closed.
    2. under ~/Library/Application Support/iCal delete everything.
    3. under ~/Library/Calendars delete everything
    4. Sync your phone.
    At this point you should have your phone overwriting everything in iCal. If your problem is ONLY syncing from phone to iCal you should be good to go, if you can't sync either way, you'll need to:
    5. Drag all your backed up calendars back to iCal. In theory they will sort themselves out, but you might have some duplicates between stuff you've created on your phone and in iCal.
    I don't know if this will keep the problem from occurring again, but at the very least, I was able to test out my ability to create events on either side, and it works.
    I kept hoping that the last iPhone update would solve this for me, alas!

  • HT1296 my iphone 4 will not sync with my new mac book air. It says that syncing failed to start. Any suggestions?

    My iphone 4 will not sync with my new macbook air. It says that syncing refused to start. Any suggestions?  FYI - all my apps and software are updated.
    Thanks,
    Jodi

    Close iTunes. On your phone, double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle & a red minus sign appears. Tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap Home button when finished. Re-start your Mac, launch iTunes, connect your phone. See if things work now.

  • The events I create on my Iphone 4 are not syncing with iCal.

    Everything was fine until I updated the software on the phone to the iOS 5 and now I notice that events which I originated on my phone will not sync with my computer's iCal.  I believe that things which are on my ICal will sync with my phone but not vice versa.  I've tried changing the settings in iCal, ITunes and on my Iphone.  Any suggestions on how to fix this. 
    Thank you!

  • The calendar on iPhone 6  does not sync with iCal

    When I enter information on on my iPhone 6+, the info does not sync to my Mac nor my iPad. The same is true when I enter on Mac and iPad, the info doesn't sync to iPhone 6+

    Greetings KevinLo,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your Mac and iPad are syncing information back and forth as they should, but your iPhone is not syncing with either of them. To troubleshoot this issue, I would suggest working through the steps located in the Troubleshooting on iOS devices section of the attached article.

  • 2.1 iPhone Calendar does not sync with iCal

    iPhone 3G 2.1, MacbookPro Leopard 10.5.5, iTunes 8.0 all upgraded this week.
    Now, entries that I make from the iPhone will not sync to the iCal, however, entries from iCal syncs to the iPhone just fine. I tried restoring to stock Apple's 2.1 ipsw but it fails to restore every time so I'm stuck with the Pwnaged one I made using Apple's stock 2.1 ipsw and Pwnage 2.1.
    Anyone experiences this problem with stock 2.1 or Jailbroken 2.1 ?
    Or could it be 10.5.5.'s iCal problem ? (the rss symbol next to my first calendar on iCal is substituted with a warning sign
    , and if clicked shows this error: Request encountered an unexpected error (domain AYFTPErrorDomain / code 530).)

    Ok,
    I figured it out. It is not a bug after all. Somehow I got duplicate calendars in my iCal from multiple backups, so by deleting the duplicates, the original ones appear. So the items been syncing all along, but I just didn't get to see it, since I was looking at the duplicate calendar.

  • Events added on my iPhone calendar do not sync back to my mac calendar

    I run a business and it is imperative that my phone and mac calendars match.  If they do not, I can double book myself and as much as I wish I could be in 2 places at once, I have not yet figured out cloning.
    I have the latest version of IOS8 on my iPhone 5S, I have the latest OS on my mac.  I have tried everything I know and I still cannot get my phone mail to sync with my mac.  The newest versions of the IOS and OS are not very intuitive and it is possible I am missing something.  Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're trying to sync an iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPhone and make sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.

  • Downloaded new IoS 6 at my iphone 4 and cant sync calendar, conacts etc

    Downloaded new IoS 6 at my iphone 4 and cant sync calendar, conacts etc

    I'm having the same problem. Although iTunes says it is syncing Calendars and Contacts the Calendars are not being synced (I haven't checked Contacts since I don't make lots of changes to them.)
    It also does not appear to be backing up to my desktop (at least not each time) - I just did a sync and the backup date is over 30 minutes ago.
    This is very worrisome.
    (And I am not using iCloud.)

  • How long does it take to install ios 7 on an iphone 4s? Note that it was previously on an old ios4 hardware. Many thanks!

    how long does it take to install ios 7 on an iphone 4s?
    Note that it was previously on an old ios4 hardware.
    I downloaded ios7, and it started installing it via wi-fi 3 hours ago.
    Unfortunatelly it seems stuck halfway through.
    Should I assume it's stuck or is it normall?
    Many thanks!

    mine took a long time lost patience and rebooted it and then I started from the begining
    so guess I made it take even longer and I did it over usb
