With Update 1.1.3 iPhone no longer syncs with iCal

I run Leopard on a MacBook Pro. After upgrading my iPhone to 1.1.3, iCal and the calendar on iPhone no longer syncs, at all. I brought this to the NYC Soho Apple Store, but the genius couldn't figure it out. Only the two default calendars "Home" and "Work" synced, although not every time. Help! What should I do now? Enter events twice? Once in the iPhone, since that's what I take with me, and once on iCal, since when restoring iPhone settings that's what's used? Many thanks!

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is -- first you said it doesn't sync at all, and then you said that your Home and Work calendars sync intermittently.
Personally, I would do several things:
1) Make sure you are not using Entourage -- and if you are, make sure all Sync functions are unchecked in preferences so that nothing is using Mac's sync services and copying back and forth.
2) Print out your calendars (use month view) for the entire year so that you have a backup.
3) Do you need to have separate calendars? I find it ridiculous personally to have work and home and entourage calendars, and combine them into one. It's all my calendar information anyway, and it goes with me everywhere, why would I want more than one calendar....anyway....not to get off on a tangent...
If you can do without two calendars, combine them all into one (you export one of them, then import it back into the other one, then delete the one your exported and imported. You can do a search for the help topic on how to combine calendars.
Rename the one combined calendar your name, rather than home or work. Sync your iPhone. On the Info tab, make sure that you have the calendar name selected (it will recognize the new name of your calendar. Also make sure you have the sync to: Your Name calendar selected.
4) If that does not work, I would totally delete all of my calendars from iCal - and sync (to erase all the calendar information from your iPhone).
5) Create a new calendar, and manually re-enter all your calendar information. Sync new information to your iPhone.
In reality -- I have no idea why you are having problems -- I also have 1.1.3 on my iPhone, and I also sync with iCal. I haven't had any problems -- but then I only have the one calendar.

IPhone no longer syncing with Calendar

Since I downloaded the latest iPhone update, my phone no longer syncs with my calendar. There is no error message. How can I fix this?

ErinShephard,
I do apologize I didn't catch that you are using iCal.
Syncing with iCal it is one of a few possibilities. A conflict with the data in SyncServices, hence the Reset Sync History as the first thing to try.
If it isn't a conflict in SyncServices it could be corrupted data on either the iPhone or in iCal.
This thread has some suggestions that may help, by having you export your calendars, and then re-import them it causes the data in iCal to be rebuilt.

IPhone no longer syncs with computer--"Cannot access the iTunes store"

My iPhone 2G has decided to no longer sync with my iTunes. I do not have internet on my computer (I'm doing this on a friend's), so when I connect my iPhone to my computer, an error message pops up that says "Cannot access the iTunes store". Since my iPhone is normally synced manually, I can still drag new files onto it; however, any movies/podcasts on the iPhone keep reappearing even after I've deleted them (from the iPhone itself). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Delete then re-install iTunes & Delete the following files:
The iTunes application (located in /Applications)
com.apple.iTunes.plist (from ~/Library/Preferences)
iTunes.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
iTunesX.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
then re-download the latest version of iTunes.

IPhone no longer syncing with iTunes

I updated my iTunes to 9.2.1 and now, my iPhone can't sync with it. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting the usb cable (which is connected directly to the computer, a Mac Pro), but it never appears.
There was one other change as well. When I first installed my new OS a few days ago, iTunes kept coming up on startup. I went into Login Items, and found that iTunes helper was there, as usual, but with a check mark to hide it. So I tried un-hiding by unchecking the box, this didn't seem to help at all either.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

Im having issues too, My phone is shown in my devices like a camera and when i connect it it says that i need to delete itunes and reinstall. I found this info ,but I am working so I cant try it till the morning maybe it will work for you.

Iphone no longer syncing with computer

I've had my Iphone 4 for several months and sync it daily with my computer. For some reason the phone is no longer syncing with the computer. There is no reason for this to happen so I was hoping someone could help me figure this out.
Thanks,
pamelafromolathe

What have you tried to fix it?
Have you rebooted your computer?
Have you verified you have the latest version of iTunes/iOS?
Have you rebooted phone (not just turn off and on, but the reset/reboot process which is not same as Restoring it)?

My iphone no longer syncs with outlook 2007

My iphone suddenly no longer syncs with Outlook 2007. I have checked the Outlook add-ins list. I can find no solutions. Apple phone support did not help, genius bar did nto help. Any suggestions ??

Is it everything that no longer syncs, or is it just one of the things, i.e. just calendar, contacts, notes? Many times as mentioned in the earlier post, it can be caused by a corrupt .pst file. Run the scanpst.exe application that resides in the Office folder. That will run a repair on the .pst file. Go into iTunes and reset the sync history and then try the sync again. If that doesn't help, it is possible there is a corrupt appointment in the calendar. That can cause a problem with syncing.
Try those couple of hints and see if that helps. Come back if it doesn't and let us know some more specifics.

Iphone no longer syncing with Outlook

I have been syncing my Iphone5 to Outlook directly via USB with my PC laptop since the first iphone came out (2006?). Over the years, this process has survived numerous operating system upgrades, hardware upgrades etc. As of yesterday, it is not syncing my calendar or contacts to Outlook.   (I get email from mail provider).
I do not want to use the cloud as all my children back up to the icloud and I don't want all their contacts/calendar on my phone. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I always like backing up with the USB guaranteed my PC data to my Iphone!
What I have tried without luck: (it says syncing, but changes nothing)
   - updated to latest version of Itunes
   - in itunes/ info --- click and unclick calendar/contact
   - in itunes - reset sync log
   - restored an old iphone - would not sync either
   - ran SCANPST on my outlook file (was a bit of a mess) so created new PST file with only a few dates/contacts
   - in outlook - unselected all Add-ins.   then added back the Itunes add-in, iCloud and outlook change notifier
Outlook 2010 version 14 (32-bit)

HELP!!!

I do not believe this. I have been going nuts trying everything as in prior posts, and this has been a problem for users at least since 2010. I had this problem a long time ago and didn't pay too much attention to it because it was my iPad, and I depended on my BB a a base calander to feed Outlook. I became very concerned within the past week when I switched my BB to iPhone 5s, and was carrying both because I still needed to carry the BB for new calander enteries to sync up to Outlook 2007.
I had followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and delete the apple s/w and re-installed. But according to the previous post, it appears that the issue was in the data - which was not deleted during all these deinstalls nor overridden with the new installs.
I am a XP user, so my files are in documents and settings/(username) both application data and \local settings\application data, but I also have safari and quicktime installed as well and didn't want to just blow entire high level folders if I didn't have to.
So I followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 then purged several apple folders in my windows profile and this definitely blew apple computer\preferences away. What I did was a little clumbsy, and desperate, but it worked. I am finally back in business.
However, I would like to see someone fine tune this and determine if it was just the preferences folder that needed to be deleted so that iTunes needed to rebuild it, or if there were other filoes that were apparently corrupted away, just to get this to the minimum number of steps to fix the issue.
BUT THANKS - This has been the most HELPFUL thread to get me syncing agai!!!!

IWork on my iPhone no longer syncs with iCloud

About two weeks ago, I noticed that my numbers documents stopped syncing with icloud. I would see the upload icon but nothing would actually happen. Edits I made on my phone wouldn't upload and documents I created on my mac wouldn't download. All other icloud functions work on my phone. My documents are making it to icloud without incident when I create or edit them on my mac.
I've tried reseting my phone, doing a software restore, removing then reinstalling Numbers and Pages and updating both apps. Most recently, I updated to iOS 6. Nothing has worked. Is there anything that I can do short of setting ym iphone up as a new phone. I really don't want to do that and loose my message history and call data.
thanks

IPhone no longer syncs with Outlook Contacts/Calendar

For months I was syncing with my computer at home for music and videos, then I bring my iPhone to work and sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar.
Now, when I plug in my iPhone on my work computer, everything operates as it used to, it still says it's syncing contacts, then syncing the calendar, but after it's done, when I look at the calendar or contacts in my iPhone, nothing has changed. It's simply not syncing with Outlook anymore, even though the status bar at the top of iTunes says it is syncing.

It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!

IPhone no longer Syncs with Outlook

Hi,
Running Windows Vista Business on my Gateway Laptop. Updated to iTunes 7.7 since that was what I was asked to do as part of the V2.0 update on the iPhone. Updated to V7.7 of iTunes and then to V2.0 on my iPhone. Now my iPhone takes several minutes to sync and when it does it doesn't sync with the Outlook calendar. Checked the settings to make sure they haven't changed. Reinstalled iTunes "No Joy"!
By the way, the sync problem was on the V1.1.4 iPhone software version as well. It seemed to start right after the iTunes update.
Has anybody the same experience? Does reestablishing my email account under Microsoft Exchange address the issue?
Anything else I can try?

I'm having a similar prob: I entered an appt on to my phone. Synced this morning and the appt is not showing up on my PC calendar. One thing may be affecting and I have not tested is I am syncing mail by ActiveSync, but still want Calendar and contacts by cable. Maybe this is affecting, but it should not be. I had my Win Mobile device set-up this way and it synced fine.

IPhone no longer syncing with Macbook/iPhoto

Phone though synced to another Mac would handshake with Macbook and allow photos to be uploaded. No longer
It also no longer appears in iTunes.
Basically its not there as far as the Macbook is concerned and I'd really like to upload some photos. What gives? Used to do this no problem.
TIA

You can no longer sync via iTunes. That method of sync was removed (and the 1000+ post thread is arguments over things tangientally related to that).
You need to sync via other means than iTunes, then.
One option is to use iCloud. If you sign into iCloud on all your devices, and then make sure your calendars are in the "iCloud" section on your devices, they should sync.
If you don't want to use iCloud, you could use Google calendars, they operate much the same way (but may be less reliable).
Or if you use Exchange for work, you could sync that way.
Or if none of those are acceptable, you could install OS X Server and set up the calendar server on your local network and use it to sync. This is fairly straightforward "for setting up a UNIX calendar server" but it's not trivial and beyond the scope of a forum post to explain it all

IPhone no longer syncing with iCal since purchasing new Macbook Pro

I've searched other posts and some were exhaustively long complaints about iCloud and I really don't want to read through 600 posts to get to what should be a simple answer to a really obnoxious problem that never used to be a problem before Maverick.
My calendars are not syncing. I've gathered from 1 other post to make sure that I have iCloud turn on for iCal on my Macbook and on my iPhone. Done. But still nothing is syncing. When I sync on iTunes, no calendar syncing happens. How else am I supposed to sync my calendars? Please help!

IPhone no longer syncs with iTunes after Leopard upgrade - HELP!

Not sure if this is the exact forum, but I just upgraded to Leopard and did all the proper software updates and now when I connect my iPhone 3G - iPhoto launches to load the pics like my camera normally does, but when I open iTunes my device does not appear. I tried rebooting both the phone and the computer and I am on iTunes 8. If I look in preferences for devices in iTunes my phone is listed, but it does not seem to want to sync.
Any and all thoughts are GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
Mike

I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.

IPod and iPhone no longer syncing with iTunes

First my iPhone would sync. I would get a "could not sync" because iPhone timed out. It would start and do several things (backup, sync contacts) but then seemed to get stuck transferring an application purchased on the iPhone to iTunes.
But then I realized that my iPod won't sync either. Again it starts but then I get a beachball.
So at first I thought I had an iPhone problem, but now i think something must be wrong with iTunes.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks, Tony

I'm having a similar problem.
I have 2 ipods.
I have an Ipod Nano 2nd Generation, and an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen.
My 1 year old HP has been in the shop for 7 weeks now, i bought a Macbook Pro.
I try to sync either one of my Ipods and the device does not show up under "devices".
I have authorized the Macbook Pro.
What do i do???
