APPLE = Fix iCal in Leopard!!!!!

Hi,
What did Apple do to iCal in Leopard? They broke it somehow. I had hard drive failure in powerbook. Replaced Hard drive, did new install of Leopard. Then installed Palm desktop 4.2 (newest from site). Setup Palm Treo 650 conduit in isync. It will only sync the addresses, nothing in iCal. Either way is bad. From Treo to iCal, and iCal to Treo won't work. Everything IS setup correctly. I used to do this in Tiger with no problems. What did Apple do to Leopard? This needs to be corrected immediately! I do all my scheduling in iCal. It is useless to me if I can't sync it to the Treo to take with me.

My sync in Leopard was working OK until today. My Nokia E61 syncs contacts but not calendar entries as of today. Strange. iSync doesn't recognize the calendars in iCal and says "No writable calendar was found" even though iCal is open right behind it.

    You have no idea of what you are talking about, and your claims are entirely without merit. iCal was rewritten from the ground up for release with Mac OS X 10.5, and the synchronization component of it—in particular—does not work as intended or expected.
    Virtually all mobile handsets and smartphones which worked under various releases of Mac OS X 10.4—with or without a plugin—continue to work under Mac OS X 10.5 and later. It is almost exclusively Palm devices which do not work as user would reasonably expect them to since the release of Mac OS X 10.5 and iCal 3.
    iCal and iSync cannot simply be returned to their Mac OS X 10.4 counterparts: your inability to understand the complex nature of programming these applications and their frameworks apparently underlies your groundless assumptions and claims.
    It silly to claim that these applications "…worked perfectly in and up to 10.4." Nothing could be further from the truth. By most reasonable measures, particularly with regard to Palm devices, these applications did not come close to working "perfectly," and many, many mobile handsets offer better interaction with the Address Book and iCal through iSync than does the iPhone through iTunes.

  • ICal on Leopard possessed by evil spirit

    Is iCal on Leopard inhabited by an evil spirit? Apparently.
    Why else would iCal refuse to let me do what I want IN MY OWN CALENDAR and instead try to impose its own will?
    If someone sends me an invite, I get an email and click through to iCal. Now an entry is in iCal. But, there is a catch. If I want to accept the meeting but change anything about the entry (for example, give it a heading I can recognise, or fix the time of the meeting which iCal is usually getting wrong these days), iCal has decided I am not authorised to changes things IN MY OWN CALENDAR. No, the only way I can change it is to Decline the meeting (which I don't want to do, as it sends a decline message to the meeting organiser - and I am not declining).
    If I want to just delete the draft calendar entry (after looking at it), iCal has decided I am not authorised to do that either - IN MY OWN CALENDAR. So I can either leave the wrong info in my diary or send a decline notice to the organiser (which I may not want to if I am not declining).
    If I am in an email with an appointment mentioned, Mail now has nifty little buttons to let me create an iCal appointment for that entry. But only for the date/time iCal thinks (which is invariably wrong, due to time zones). I can't amend the date/time of an entry I am going to create IN MY OWN CALENDAR.
    So, I can only conclude iCal on Leopard has been possessed by an evil spirit who wants to take over control of what I do IN MY OWN CALENDAR.
    Very frustrating. This isn't what Mac software is meant to be about, surely.

    G'day Lisa,
    I have experienced the same frustration - and had it resolved by installing GCALDaemon (see my other post on this at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6921704#6921704).
    This uses a Google Calendar as the middleman - but it works well, and enables you to edit in both places (and across ical versions). In fact you can edit your Google Calendar and have it show up on both Macs... (which stomps all over .mac calendaring).
    Cheers,
    Rodney

  • Fixed: Slow Snow Leopard. What was this file for?

    Hi,
    I just bought a new iMac on Monday. It's supposed to be the newest and best technology... blah blah blah blah blah.
    Anyhow, it worked great for a few days, and then last night it began slowing down to the point where nothing was functional. A simple reboot helped very little, and I became very frustrated.
    I ended up finding some guys blog about Macs, and he deleted this file to fix his Snow Leopard problems:
    System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist
    Having no other choice but to wait for an update from Apple, I deleted the same file. I rebooted my computer, and it was like magic. The computer is faster then ever, and very enjoyable to use. So, my question is: what is the world is that for for? It used like 1.40-1.80 GB of RAM...
    Thanks for the help!

    Core audio is the software side of digital audio on your computer. That plist is the destructible file related to settings. If you get rid of it, the system builds a fresh one.
    no, it doesn't. none of the items in /system/library/launchdaemons are automatically rebuilt on deletion. if you delete something from there it's gone for good. these are necessary system daemons and deleting them can make system inoperable or cripple it. I'm not quite sure what this one does. googling indicates that it is responsible for a number of audio functions like system sounds and keeping volume settings on restarts. I've seen a number of posts recommending deleting it as a possible workaround for some slowdown issues but I would not do that with this or any other system launch daemon. as is aid, this may cripple some system functions and the file will not be recreated by the system if you want it back. if you want to disable it as a troubleshooting step you can do it without deleting the file. run the following terminal command
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist
    this will make the daemon inactive without deleting the file. and it will remain inactive even on restarts. if you want to activate it change unload to load in the above command.

  • Manual Setup of New iCal for Leopard

    I'm using 10.5.8 and upgraded iCal to the latest one since they say in the email that it is possible to use iCal with Leopard, even though I need to setup manually.
    But, that's the all I could find.
    There is no guide or manual whatsoever as to how to set it up, at least it's not in the range I can see.
    Does anyone know how to make Leopard work with the latest iCal somehow?
    Thank you.

    Thanks!
    That's what I was looking for.
    I'm not sure why Apple did not provide the link to this page in the first place, makes me wonder if they just force the current Leopard users to switch to the Snow Leopard...

  • Do i need a new drive or should apple fix the problem!

    since i upgraded to osx lion i keep getting an error code 0x80020022 every time i try and burn a dvd doesn't matter what type of program i use the some results error code.. 0x80020022 . does this mean a new drive is needed ?.. or bearing in mine it worked perfectly before lion was in stalled should apple fix the problem?
    i wish i hadn't bothered with lion..
    reading though this discussion forum this problem seems to be happening to others... so why it seems is apple ignoring it ?....
    now if i need a new drive because of this upgrade why didn't apple say your optical drive may need to be upgraded to work with lion before i started ...
    i was quite happy with snow leopard...
    i mean apple do say keep your machine up to date ..do they not!
    terry dissapointed
    in the UK.

    Restore your bootable backup/clone or Time Machine of your previous Snow Leopard installation and see if the problem persists.

  • Yet another claw-mark left on iCal from Leopard- BEWARE OF COMMAS

    How does this look - it's the way one of our published church calendars looks now in Leopard when you use Safari to look at it:
    AA\, Alanon\, ACOA\, CoDA\, Girl Scouts\, (should be: AA, Alanon, ACOA, CoDA, Girl Scouts,)
    In our church web site, we have several iCal calendars. Outside organizations that use our facilities are on one calendar. Suddenly, with the introduction of Leopard, a backslash appears before every comma.
    IS THERE A WORKAROUND? How could something this seemingly idiotic happen?
    I wonder where the problem is in the enormous list of fixes needed in Leopard and iCal. This Leopard operating system has too many claws, not enough purrs.

    Lockard,
    Where\, or in what field are these entries?
    Is this also the case with other browsers?
    Have you tried to Unpublish...\, and then Publish... again?
    Also\, open Font Book and check for duplicates/validate fonts.
    ;~)

  • Will apple fix the requirement to use the iCloud to sync?

    will apple fix the requirement to use the iCloud to sync?, Do not want to use it, rather usb sync and it seems there are many others.

    Hi,
    I must admit to having moved to iCloud to do this some while ago.
    I had presumed the wording in iTunes and the big Sync button at the bottom did actually mean Sync.
    However it seems you are explaining it is similar to the iMessages "Sync" across devices which is in fact actaully only "Display on All Devices". (What you do with an iMessage on one device does not effect it on another).
    Thanks for the clarity.

  • Apple Mail on Snow Leopard 1.6.8

    I'm aware this subject isn't new but still I find no solutions ....
    Hence, very many thanks to anyone who will help me to solve this substantial problem
    Since the unfortunate invention of Icloud my Apple Mail on Snow Leopard 1.6.8 no longer work properly.
    My machine:
    Model Name:          Mac Pro
    Model Identifier:          MacPro4,1
    Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed:          3,32 GHz
    RAM 16 GB (Apple Original)
    Mail should take care of my me.com accounts, but I also have other accounts located elsewhere with a different suffix (.it, co.uk)
    I tried to set up Snow Leopard Mail following every single help tread here and at other websites. None of which seems to work properly, and the variety of "helps" simply tells me there is no "sound" system to use Snow Leopard with the current Apple Email set-up.
    Yet "randomly" Mail will stop loading my "me.com" mail opening an error message telling me the "me.com" certificate is no longer trustable.ù
    I instructed Apple Mail to "trust" the certificate, but this option does not work, or at least only works randomly.
    Mails also never recognizes and loads messages from my other suffix adresses. It enters in an endless connection asking to verify either my User or pass, to finally put these accounts offline. Using Safari with my user and pass (the same as in Apple Mail) everythings works well.
    More: if I am working on something else (Long Photoshop Actions, Final Cut Pro rendering and more), this window message halts everything.
    This problem is serious, as I usually performed this work at night. or when I don't need to stare at a screen doing nothing.
    I erased my computer with the 32 zero pass options and reinstalled the original Snow Leo system (MAC OS X 10.6.2) and this problem vanishes.
    As soon as I update with the Combo Upgrade the problem begins again.
    My upgrades are always "fresh updates" both as a direct update from the apple menu/Software update, or downloading the combo as dmg to then install.
    The result is exactly the same.
    I received a fresh copy from the local Apple Store in case my original had some magical problems, but nothing changed.
    Yet I can't simply use SL 10.6.2 (the original software I got with the Machine) as many programs I paid for require the latest Snow Leopard.
    While I could use another drive with SL 10.6.2, just for the Mail, is really a problem to reboot, to reboot again to continue my work.
    In my heart I certainly believe email these days is a "public service" especially after paying thousand dollars over the years, and Apple policy to force user to purchase their latest machines and or, waste time to reconstruct their previous work to adpat it to their industrial policy is simply not fair.
    While I understand and support advances in technology and so on, I believe this going forward shouldn't be done at the expenses of the customers, but "freedom of choice" is parts of all constitution as introduced centuries ago in the US.
    I read in various site Apple was planning a Snow Leopard 10.6.9 version, but so far nothing happened. Maybe this project was dismissed.
    Loosing important emails is a superior problem for my work.
    I "have" to use Snow Leopard because I need the Rosetta function Apple discontinued in Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Some readers might dislike this post, yet I used Apple since Apple II, I bought at least 100 machines since, I went through the various software/hardware changes, with ease. I believe my current anger is legitimate.
    Can someone please help?

    you can save a little time - since Mail is one of the Optional Install items found by running the same-named installer within the folder on the DVD. you'll still need the 10.6.7 combo afterwards.

    I have restored it twice and updated it, the water sensor shows it has not been wet. Not jail-broken and exterior buttons all work.  It seems to have problems connecting and being found by a computer (Windows). How do i fix this and will Apple fix it? Thanks

    lol yea when i inserted the link i just copied and pasted thats why that happend... Lets try again... http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
    Anyways when I go to it theres a drop-down list and you select the one you want and I know the number next to it identifies the model but the thing is they don't have my model listed so my main question is, what version eg. 2.1.1. or 2.2.1 etc. etc. etc. etc. will work with my model of ipod touch which is the 2g Model A1288?
    Does anybody know? Does it work with any firmware thats for 2G ipod touches or do i have to get firmware thats model specific?

  • Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

    I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
    However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
    So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
    MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
    Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

    Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
    Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

  • Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

    Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

    Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas.  Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G.  Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection.  Purchased on with the AT &T cellular.  Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all.  Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all.  Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service.  Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's.  Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon.  So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem.  Hence my question.
    Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.
