Every week I enter my schedule on my iPhone while at work, and every week when I get home my Macbook asks if I want to sunc all new iCal items. But every week it is missing at least one item. One day will be correct on my iPhone, but it is missing at me.com and also on my Macbook. Any ideas why? It is strange it is normally just one appointment is just not there.

I noticed the same thing yesterday, I updated my calendar on my iPhone, added about 7 new entries onto it
Got home and only 5 had been transferred into iCal, the other 2 just sat on the iPhone going nowhere

Did a test at home and added 7 dummy entries onto the phone, these all syncs across to iCal fine

I get the same thing every single week when I add them, it is almost like it ony will do so many at one time or something, except this week I think I entered 6 and got 5, normally I enter 5 and get 4.

Very annoying.

Just tried to add another week of schedules. Added 5 events, only 3 show up at me.com.


Nobody here has any help for me?

This isn't something do to with the fact that I am on a free trial is it?

Is this something you can replicate everytime you enter items

I have vague memories of reading that if you enter items while its syncing other items they wont get syncing (not very good)

try doing this, add one entry, wait 30 seconds and add the second, wait 30 seconds and add the third, its a pain but try doing that for five entries and see if they all sync correctly

I will give that a try, because yes, it is duplicated everytime I do it. Thanks, I will get back about wether this works or not.

Same thing again for me yesterday

Added my working schedule onto my calendar on iPhone, all looked fine

Turned on my Mac this morning, only 5 of the 7 events had made it into iCal, the other 2 just sat on the iPhone
