How do I sync iCal with iPhone/iOS 6?

On I mac, turn off the calendar in settings and turn back on

I have the same problem since updaten to iOS 6.0.1

Do You already have a solution for that problem?

Ok, I solved it... It seems so...

Turn of iCal-Sync in iTunes, create a backup of your calendar-data in iCal on Mac OS, restore iCal from this backup, turn on iCal-Sync on iTunes again

Since then I'm abble to create and change events on iOS and they are taken over by iCal!

Thank you R2n2!

In my case it did not work in the same way ... but YOUR post helped me to solve it (after some 2 or 3 months of (//&%$%&%$)

My iCal on my Mac (OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) did not create the archive properly ... it had 0kB ...

So I just:

1. turned off iCal-Sync in iTunes

2. Synchronised with iPhone iOS6

--> all Calender Data on the iPhone was deleted

3. turned on iCal-Sync in iTunes again

4. Synchronised again with the iPhone

That's it - that's all!

Poooh.

'm happy!

THANKS!

But what if I had added events to my iPhone calendar & will lose them by deleting the Calendar data on the iPhone)? I have to delete all my iPhone calendar data & trust that it will restore from iCal on the MacBook Pro? In my case, I upgraded from an older MacBook to a MacBook Pro & was trying to do the first time sync with my existing iPhone to the new MacBook Pro.

I tried it & it kept all of the original data on the iPhone & didn't update anything from the phone to the laptop. The item I'd moved on the phone was still on the old date on the laptop.

Any other suggestions? I have all calendars checked in iTunes.

What steps did you follow to create the backup of the calendar on the Mac?

I just want to have events that I add or change on my iPhone to sync & update on my laptop - like they used to with my old MacBook!

This advice completely solved my problem- thanks!! I didn't want to have to do factory restore...

Thanks Regton I have tried all solutions, only your entry helps ; )

1. turned off iCal-Sync in iTunes

2. Synchronised with iPhone iOS6

--> all Calender Data on the iPhone was deleted

3. turned on iCal-Sync in iTunes again

4. Synchronised again with the iPhone

In my case all deleted calender entries of my iphone were recovered by the final sync.

I have a slightly different challenge with calendar syncing between iPhone 4 and iCal. In general, the sync seems to be fine with the exception of ANNUALLY RECURRING events (ie: birthdays) NOT synching/not appearing on my iPhone. I can see them fine in iCal but not on my phone. I have tried the above posted solution that worked for several users on this thread but I still can't seem to sync the annually recurring events. Anyone able to help??

Thanks!

Thanks, I tried ALL of the above, BUT found no success.

I went through all the avenues to avoid paying $19 + tax for an Apple service call, and I will share my issue and solution here. I did all the removing of the calendar, resyncing and still had no calendar on my iPod.

The last time this happened, I believe it was an issue with the installer file. I think the Senior Tech just wanted to make sure it didn't happen ever again.

This time, I talked with a normal IT Tech (for free), after waiting some time, she came back and asked me to reset my iPod. For those of you that need the step-by-step here it is (mine is an iPod Classic 120 GB):

- Move the lock button back and forth, until you see the display change from lock to unlock

- Hold down Menu button and middle circular button (I guess you can call this the ENTER button) simultaneously until Apple logo appears in middle of screen (and nothing else)

- Wait a matter of moments until the screen comes back with your menu items, icons, etc.

- Check to verify calendar is there.

If the other options above don't work, this is the next step. Save yourself $20 and try this first.

Good advice (that I am going to try in the future): just reset your iPod every month or two, and avoid all the hassle I had!

Good luck!
