iPhone 5 (iOS7) and iCal won't sync

I just tried syncing my iPhone 5 to my computer for the first time since the iOS 7 update, and I can't get the calendars from iCal to sync. The calendar items on my computer moved over and duplicated to my phone, but my computer calendars received no updates at all. iTunes says all is synced, but I can't quite agree.

I'm also seeing my contacts in Address Book have not updated in the sync attempt.

My MacBook Pro is on the older side, so it's only updated to Snow Leopard. Hoping this isn't going to be a major issue and Apple will issue a bug fix soon.

Anyone else in the same situation or have an idea of how to fix it?

My calendars were not syncing correctly to my mobile devices since I updated to IOS 7. Eventually I discovered that, while my desktop had me logged into iCloud as myname@me.com, my iPad and iPhone had me logged in as myname@mac.com. I deleted that iCloud account from both devices and re-logged in so that all three were identical and everything synced perfectly. Good luck.

I have been struggling with this issue since the orginal IOS 7 came out. I was so frustrated that I finally stopped using iCal on my MacBook. I am so happy to say that this appears to have fixed my issue! HUGE!!! Thanks so much 🙂

Perfect, that worked! I didn't even have iCloud configured to sync calendars, but unsyncing everything from iCloud allowed my calendars to sync. Thanks!

I know that iCloud would solve the problem, but I don't want my contacts and calendars fly all over Internet so I don't want to use iCloud for that. Before iOS7 the Summory tab in iTunes for iPhone had a coulpe checkboxs to sync all of these while syncing iPhone and now they all gone.

How I can sync my calendars and contacts WITHOUT iCloud? This is the real question. Any ideas?

I agree! I don't want to use iCloud. This new version of the iOS has caused me nothing but problems and they want me to pay $19 to them to get them to tell me how to fix their defective software.

I have not been able to sync calendars since I upgraded to iOS 7 and that is just one of the many problems I have had.
