Not syncing in iCal on all accounts

Okay: situation: iMac G5 with Leopard, MacBook Pro with Leopard. Input in iCal on the Mac book is okay, it appears a bit later on the iMac. But not the other way round...
Have found out it must be something with accounts: I created an new useraccount on my MacBook and then the syncing works ! Can anyone please, please tell me why it does'nt work with my primary account?
This problem has been going on for months, since I installed Leopard...
Thanks for answering!!

iCloud is only set to work (properly at least) with Lion.  Nice that they didn't tell anyone that ahead of time.  Seems like many of us are now having syncing and other issues.  Haven't found a solution yet-- and don't even know how to un-do the Cloud to at least have working programs for now.
I've seen numerous error messages and Apple is so backed up on their support lines that it's almost impossible to get through.  I made a Genius Bar appt to see if they can work through it.  Don't know if that might help for you, too.
One other note on Lion:  My brother works at Apple Corporate and says not to take Lion yet since it has too many bugs they haven't worked through yet and causes many things to crash.  Just an FYI since taking Lion at least might make the Cloud work better.  But I've also been reading of people w/Lion having issues, too.
Guess this is the bad side of new products until they work through it all.  Sorry I couldn't offer more-- but see if your issues might be not having Lion as your OS.

  • Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

    My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
    so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
    anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
    problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
    related problem?
    thank
    Hein

    I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
    Below that is:
    "From My Mac.
    "All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
    This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
    Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
    Hope this helps you.

  • IPhone calendar not syncing to iCal or MobileMe

    Using Lion and the latest software version on my iPhone:  syncing iCal to MobileMe works in either direction. However, when a calendar event is typed on my iPhone it does not sync to anything on my iMac.  Does anyone know of a solution?

    FOUND THE ISSUE.
    Check to see if your Gmail (or mail) is connected to your calendar. If it is, turn it off.
    When using Siri, she was scheduling to my Gmail Calendar (which is also where the rest of my meetings were scheduled) That calendar would not sync with iCal on my computer.
    So, on your iphone go to Settings>Mail, Contact, Calendars
    Look under ACCOUNTS. There should be an iCloud account and your Mail account (Gmail, Yahoo etc)
    Click on the mail account and look at the calendars. If they are ON, click them OFF.
    Now if you go back to iCal on your phone, you will only see iCloud calendars listed under Calendars. So from now on, when you make a meeting with Siri, she will schedule it and it will appear moments later in iCal on your Computer.
    FINALLY!

  • IPhone Calendar Changes not Syncing with ICal

    Additions and changes to my iPhone calendar are not synced with ICal on my Mac. Syncing the other direction (adding or changing appointments on my Mac) works, but nothing I change or add on my iPhone appears on my Mac (the same seems to be true of contacts and notes). I have the same problem with an iPod touch.
    Has anyone else experienced (and fixed) a similar problem? As it ism the iPhone-Mac sync only works in one direction!

    I had the same problem, and then all my calendars stopped syncing either way. They picked a beautiful time to do it, too... right as I was leaving on a business/pleasure vacation where I was making on the fly appointments. grumble
    However, I fixed it tonight. Here is what I did.
    1. Back up (export) all your iCal calendars. (not just good practice, you'll need them later) Make sure iCal is closed.
    2. under ~/Library/Application Support/iCal delete everything.
    3. under ~/Library/Calendars delete everything
    4. Sync your phone.
    At this point you should have your phone overwriting everything in iCal. If your problem is ONLY syncing from phone to iCal you should be good to go, if you can't sync either way, you'll need to:
    5. Drag all your backed up calendars back to iCal. In theory they will sort themselves out, but you might have some duplicates between stuff you've created on your phone and in iCal.
    I don't know if this will keep the problem from occurring again, but at the very least, I was able to test out my ability to create events on either side, and it works.
    I kept hoping that the last iPhone update would solve this for me, alas!

  • IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

    Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
    Restarting iPhone
    Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
    Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
    This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
    I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
    I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

  • HT1296 After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2.  Why is this?

    After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2.  Why is this?

    Ok, here's what seems to have worked....but will need to monitor to see if this stays "stable".
    1)  As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread  [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions]  (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone.  Then ejected iPhone from USB.
    2)  Reconnected iPhone via USB.  iTunes did not start up.  Started up iTunes manually.  Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the "open iTunes" option, selected APPLY button.  Let iTunes run its application process.
    3)  Then checked the "open iTunes" option.  Selected APPLY button.  Got a dialog box asking if I wanted "iTunes Helper" to be installed; selected YES.  Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone.  Closed out iTunes.  Reconnected iPhone via USB.  AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).  Let iTunes do some backup and sync'ing.  Ejected iPhone.  Closed out iTunes.
    4)  Connected iPad via USB (on computer).  AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
    I don't know for sure that the iPhoto "automatic launch" was causing the interference, but it seems like the "uncheck/check" the "open iTunes" option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered.  I don't want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
    Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance.  Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it's in the forums/discussions.

  • Appointments made yesterday on iPod Touch calendar not syncing to iCal

    I have been using my iPod calendar as the main source for all of my appointments. Periodically, I back that info up by syncing it (via iTunes) with iCal on my Mac Mini. Yesterday (12/29), I entered approximately 100 events into my iPod calendar, and when I synced the iPod with iCal on the Mini today, none of those events were copied onto iCal. I have repeatedly attempted to sync, but to no avail. However, events created on the iPod calendar previous to yesterday effectively synced, and events made today also sync. It would figure that I set all the events for 2010, and those are the ones that don't sync. Now, if I manually re-enter everything in iCal, I am worried that when I next sync with the iPod, the iCal dates would be removed, as it seems syncing doesn't recognize dates that I entered into the iPod calendar on 12/29. So, (1) is there any way that I can get the dates entered on 12/29 into my iPod calendar to automatically be entered on iCal on the Mac Mini? and (2) how do I safeguard my info on the iPod and iCal so that I don't lose anything in any syncing process? (P.S. I don't subscribe to Mobile Me.)

    Having exact problem. iPod touch events not syncing with Mac Mini/iCal. I think I'm having some of the reverse problem. No MobileME account. Just starting grad school and it has caused some severe headaches.

  • Single MobileMe Event not syncing to iCal on my Mac

    I'm pretty sure this is not the first time I've had this problem but it has arisen again.
    I have a single event, which I created on either my iPad or my iPhone last Friday. This event has synced to the other device (iPhone or iPad) and to MobileMe (http://www.me.com/calendar). However, it is not showing up in iCal on my MacBook Pro.
    On my MBP, I deleted the MobileMe (CalDAV) calendar from iCal and then recreated the account.  The missing calendar event is still missing though all the other evens appear to be there!
    If I edit the event on my iPad, it still does not show up on my MBP though the other devices get the update (e.g. adding a Location).
    If I create a new calendar event on my iPad, the new event does show up but the missing event remains missing.
    I'm running OS X 10.7.1 (Lion).
    Any suggestions on
    why this is happening,
    how to fix it (other than just deleting and recreating), and
    more importantly, how to prevent it from happening in the future?
    Thanks!

    Here's a fix:
    1. Open iCal and Export all your calendars to .ICS files (example, home.ics, birthdays.ics, etc.), save it on your desktop. Quit iCal.
    2. Delete the folder User/Library/Calendars and all contents inside
    3. Open iCal, import all your exported .ICS from above.
    4. Sync your iPhone.
    Fixed it on 2 iPhones that have iCal sync issues with Leopard 10.5.1!

  • My ical on iphone will not sync with ical on macbook

    I have iphone 4s and Macbook Pro (OS X Lion; version 10.7.5)
    I have my iCloud all set up on both my iphone and my macbook.  I am trying to sync my calendar to when I enter in a new appointment on my iphone calendar, it will also add to my macbook calendar.
    I have checked for all system updates on both machines, rebooted everything, and nothing seems to work.
    My ical on my macbook will sync to my phone, but I can't get it to sync the other way.
    Any help or advice?
    Greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Calendar events on iPhone not syncing to ical or Mobile Me -- Tiger OS

    I had to replace my iPhone 3G with another iPhone 3G due to phone problems. Now, events that I had once put in to iCal are still showing up on my iPhone but are not on my iCal or Mobile Me calendar. As per advice on other threads, I did a complete reset through Sync. Now, I have duplicate calendars (different color coding) but still no events. Can someone please help? I'm not using Outlook, I'm using the Tiger OS.

    Thanks for reply.
    In Settings>iCloud, my account is set up and appears under heading "iCloud."
    In Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars, same account listed under heading "iCloud."
    In Calendar list in iPhone Calendar app, new calendar is listing along with all others that are part of iCloud account.
    All other calendars in that account sync, just not this new one with ics data imported to iPhone.
