I have a bit of a dilemma here, I want and need to sync my MacBook, My iPhone, and my iPad iCal together. here is the problem.

Ok I create and event on my ipad, and sync and it does not show up on macbook but stays on ipad, but if i create and even on my macbook and sync it shows up on both. Both using iCal

Now I can create an event on my MacBook and synch with my iPhone and it works just fine as does creating an even on my iphone and syncing and that shows up in ical on my macbook.

Ok i just tried to synch my ical with the ipad, and iphone dates and that works fine. So I can create an even on both the iphone and MacBook and it shows up in all devices, but if I create an event on my ipad it does not show up in my MacBook. Is there something that I am doing wrong with the iPad ?

This is pretty serious situation with me for I need all of my devices to be in synch. Now I do have aMobileMe account, so if people say use that, I know that I can do that somehow. But my dilemma is I do not have a permanent connection to the net, I use Net Cafe's to do all of my stuff at this time in my life, and that is a few times a week. So I do the old fashion thing I use a cable, oh how barbaric of me I know you are saying. So any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Here are the specs of my devices.

iPhone 3GS 4.3.3
Macbook is 10.6.8
ipad is 4.3.3

Your sync settings are probably set differently for the iPad. With the iPad attached to iTunes, select the iPad in the source list on the left and click the Info tab. Check to make sure that you are syncing your calendar info.

Thank iBook Steve, I have checked all of the settings, and still get the same dilemma. I would call Apple Tech support, but I am in the UAE and there is no support here. I really need to get this resolved so again thanks Steve, but will have to keep hacking away at this one.
