iphone calendar won't sync with ical

I am really hopeing someone can help me. I use an iPhone 3GS as well as a desktop Mac (10.5.8). Whenever I sync these two devices, I never had a problem. I used a wire to do it and it was fine. Lately, however, I have definitely had problems. I connect the two devices and though it looks like it's going through the whole syncing process, it never syncs the iPhone calendar with iCal. This may not be germain, but lately I have also been getting an error message on my Mac that says Microsoft Office synching is not working. I know that should not concern Apple devised, but it just seems a little too coiincidental to me that right when I have problems syncing Apple products, I get an error message about the syncing of Microsft products. Can anyone help me?

Desktop, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hi SigneSS,

Since this has happened to me more than once I've learnt not to sync my phone with my macbook. I only use the icloud sync service. All I did was disable and re-enable the iCloud sync on my phone and it did the trick.

Can't think of anything else at the moment.

Good luck!

I solved this problem of iCal not being synced with iphone calender.

On iphone select settings and then select icloud. Turn off calender. When prompted opt to keep rather than delete calender. Then go back to itunes and sync phone in normal way.
