Sync not working for iphone

PDACPA · 10-10-2008, 10:38 AM

New to Mobile Me and I cannot figure out how to get my iphone to sync with it. Here is my set up:

iphone 3G (MM email + a gmail and work email)
Vista Laptop (this is where iphone syncs with itunes as it is my main PC)
Mac Mini (use iCal and it is at the office so not always available)

I signed up on the Mac Mini for the Mobile Me and set up the sync in iCal (have a lot of data and todo's in there).

iCal uploads to me.com and I can access it on the Vista laptop (and some other XP computers). I can make changes on me.com and they sync with the Mac Mini iCal.

However, the iPhone has not received any calendar updates from iCal or me.com. And, the iPhone calendar entries never show up on iCal or me.com.

I have had zero sync with the phone. I checked the password (email works) and I have the sync settings set up. Thought it was ridiculous that when I set up the sync it wipes your iphone calendar stuff. WHY NOT SYNC? But I dealt with it, but since nothing is syncing, I now have nothing on the phone calendar.

If I ever get it working, hope someone has some ideas of things to try, can you Sync your various calendars form iCal (ie work, home, sports, birthdays, etc).

Thanks

reset the sync on the cloud by uploading a complete calendar from iCal, then ensure you enable push on iPhone and it'll push a new calendar Dow to iPhone.

How do you upload a "complete" calendar to the cloud?

Thanks for the tip. I think that did it. I took MM off the phone and then went to my Mac and unchecked the calendar sync, and then added and entry, and then checked it again to sync. Then I went to the phone and readded the MM account on the mail list. Added a calendar entry and boom it all worked.

I now see all my calendars!

Thanks.

Do the ToDo's show up on the phone anywhere? To get around it I am just scheduling them on the calendar.

I don't think so. Glad it worked for you.
