Syncing Iphone Calendars to computer

Hey, I am new to the iphone and wanting to sync the calendar from my iphone onto my Macbook Pro. So far I have not had success syncing from the phone to the computer. I can sync from the computer to the phone without a problem. What am I missing?
Thanks for any help.

I have a similar problem to David and am new to iPhone but not to the Mac.

I connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro via the USB port and use iTunes to Sync. I am not using MobileMe.

Events entered into iCal on the MB are transferred to the iPhone when I Sync. Good!

However a new event entered into the Calendar on iPhone does not transfer to the MB.

I have reset Sync history in iSync but this had no effect on this problem.

Any help would be welcome.

It is working now. In fact it was working all along but I did not realise.

I have 7 calendars in iCal. It so happened that on the iPhone I was placing events in the only calendar that I was not displaying in iCal !!! I know, I know....

I was not paying attention to which calendar I was posting events. I had not set the default calendar on the iPhone. On iCal there is usually one that I do not display. It was just bad luck that these were the same and I was looking elsewhere.

Anyway thanks Josh about setting the alert in iSync. Useful information. I initially set it to 'any data' but have now retreated to 5%.

Strange how you need to change a setting in iSync the very piece of software not otherwise used for Syncing iPhone to computer vis USB. It is done in iTunes.
