Blackberry Torch won't sync with iCal

For some strange reason my Blackberry Torch will not sync with iCal. I have new items entered on iCal that don't tranasfer in spite of the fact that I have synced the phone with my Mac. I am running Lion, Blackberry desktop version 2.3.1 and I have iCloud turned off on my Mac. I have tried the Forget Device Option, deleted calendar items from iCal and set up a new calendar and imported events back in. Still no luck.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for your quick reply.
No I do not have iCloud enabled on the Mac OS.
I'm not sure how to clear out the calendar database. I have exported all existing information, then deleted the calendar and then created a new one with the same name. I have restored my Torch to factory settings, reinstalled everything and still no resolution.
I am not able to find any setting either in iCal preferences or in my Calendar Options on my Torch which would even give me the option of the calendar showing as read only.
At this point, if I enter something in Calendar on my Torch, it will sync with iCal but not the other way around. Contacts, Notes, and Tasks all sync fine both ways.
Hope that's helpful

Hi Jetjuice!
I have an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further and can provide you with some more steps to take in attempting to resolve this issue:
Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing

ICal won't sync with iCal from other computer and .Mac

I am trying to snyc my ical on my desktop with the ical on my laptop. I use my ical on my laptop most often so its data is most upto date, but I would like to have it so that no matter which one I look at its the same, and if I change something on one it will update on both.
I thought that is what would happen with .Mac and syncing. But when I try to sync my desktop it says that it won't sync the calander because of inconsist data, but it won't tell me what they are.
It says to confirm that your computer's data is valid, (its not, but how do I confirm or not?). Then it says to reset calendars on .Mac in the system preferences when I try to do that it gives me an icon of computer and .mac, and an arrow saying in what direction I'm assuming data will go. I choose .mac, to computer and it still comes up with the same problem.
So how do I fix? Once I fix will it merge data on both or will it always be thinking take the .mac data and replace it? It scares me when it says are you sure you want to do this and its changable if you do. I don't want to loose the data on my laptops calander.
Is there a way to clear my desktop ical, and then sync it and get my laptop's data and start from scratch? And then do mutual merges after that?
It says to check that my info on the computer is correct and then to reset it in .mac preferences. The data on the desktop isn't correct but even if I reset, it won't

I'm having massive problems with syncing via .mac with two local Macs - nothing I have tried has worked as yet and it's currently under investigation with a .mac specialist.
I did used to get the 'inconsistent data' warning but that has somehow disappeared - now I don't get any warnings and .mac says both Macs are synced but I get nothing updated to iCal from either direction...
So I don't as yet have an answer but just to let you know that if you get in touch with Apple they will support you with finding an answer.
In the meantime have a look at these links for more self-help:
http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2008/02/25/how-to-truly-reset-your-mac -sync-data
Note that iSync also plays a large part, not just .mac and iCal - you need to 'reset sync data' in iSync/preferences.
Plus some of the help stuff that Apple sent me:
You may need to reset sync data again on .Mac and on all of the computers with which you are syncing.
First, it's important to back up any data that you wish to keep. For more information, please see:
How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.4 files (applies to 10.5 too)
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301239
Mac OS X 10.5: When to use Time Machine or .Mac Backup to back up data
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n307050
Before proceeding, you may find it helpful to print this email and the above articles so that you can consult them during this process.
Next, using a computer that has Mac OS X v10.5 or later, unregister the other computers, including any Mac OS X v10.4 computers you may be using. (To find out which version of Mac OS X is installed, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.)
Here's how to unregister the other computers from the computer that has Mac OS X v10.5 or later:
1) Open System Preferences and click .Mac.
2) Click Sync, then click the Advanced button.
3) Click once on one of the computers in the list and click Unregister. Follow the onscreen instructions to unregister the computer. Repeat this step until all registered computers are removed from the list.
4) When the last computer has been unregistered, you will be asked "Would you like to delete unused sync info from .Mac?" Select the boxes next to each of the data types listed and click Delete.
5) Restart the computer.
After unregistering the other computers, sync your data from the computer that has the most up-to-date information.
To add a computer with Mac OS X v10.5 or later to the .Mac sync list:
1) Open that computer's System Preferences and click .Mac.
2) Click the Sync tab.
3) Select "Synchronize with .Mac."
4) Select the data types you wish to sync. Click Sync Now.
5) If you are asked, "What would you like to do for this first sync?", select "Merge" and click Sync. You may have to do this for each data type that you are syncing.
After you have performed the initial sync, you should try syncing again. If you do not receive any errors, you can add additional computers to the .Mac sync list by following these steps on each of the computers:
1) Open that computer's System Preferences and click .Mac.
2) Click the Sync tab.
3) Select "Synchronize with .Mac."
4) Select the data types you wish to sync. Click Sync Now.
5) If you are asked, "What would you like to do for this first sync?", select "Replace data on this computer" and click Sync. You may have to do this for each data type that you are syncing. This will replace the data on the computer with the data that has been synced to .Mac.
I recommend that you add the computers one at a time, confirming each time that syncing is working correctly. To confirm that syncing is working, make a change in one of the data types you are syncing, then perform a sync from the first computer. When that syncing is finished, perform a sync on the second. If syncing is successful, add a third computer, and so on.
Good luck!

To Dos on Palm won't sync with iCal

I noticed this morning that my To Do list on my Palm pilot is not syncing to my iCal To Do list. However, the contacts and calendar are syncing fine. I checked the Hot Sync manager for the Palm, but everything seems to be in order. Contacts and Calendars are selected in the iSync. There's nothing to select for To Dos, but I don't remember there being anything for that anyway. Any ideas as to what might be the problem?
Thanks for teh help,
Bill

Dear Ferd II,
Thanks for your pointout. It worked for me, though not the first time. I had my iTunes sync prefs set to sync automatically upon iPhone connection, but you can't access the "info" tab until it's connected. So my first time thru, I tried to click "replace calendar on iPhone one time from Mac" and then hit the "apply" button WHILE the sync was already in progress. It didn't like that, so I suggest to set those prefs in iTunes FIRST, then export and import the calenders along with the remove sync history via iSync, as per the instructions in the link you gave. My second time thru, using the prefs already preset, it all worked fine, and now the iPhone and iCal sync in both directions again.
Awesome.

Can't download Mountain Lion / iPhone 5 won't sync with iCal & Contacts on iMac

Have a 2007 iMac. Running Snow Leopard. Contacts and iCal aren't syncing to iPhone 5. Did a little research and decided maybe it was because I'm not upgraded to Mountain Lion. Tried to download Mountain Lion and it says it cannot because it requires 2GB of memory. Help. What do I do now?

A 2007 iMac, according to http://www.everymac.com can go up to 6 GB ram. you have to check and see if yours is on the compatible list at http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if it is not, you can still go to Lion by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and purchaing a download code to use to download 10.7.5 from the Mac App Store. Lion is compatible with iCloud, also.
You still need at least 2 GB ram, 4 GB is much better. Go to OWC, or Crucial to see about more ram.

Ipod touch won't sync with ical or iphoto after 2.0.2 update

I've never tried to use ical before, so I never synced it with my ipod touch. However, recently I created a calendar on ical and so I checked the "sync ical calendars" and "all calendars" options. Itunes says that it has been "syncing calendars" with my ipod for four hours now! What in the world is it doing? You can't seriously tell me that it takes four hours to sync my calendar to my ipod--it takes less than two hours to restore!
In addition, my ipod, which always used to sync my iphoto photo albums with no problem, now claims it can't find any albums in iphoto. But when I open iphoto, I can see all of my albums--nothing has changed. If anyone else has had these problems or has a clue as to what is going on, please reply!

I have this problem too, but on an iPhone 3g rather than a Touch. I basically cannot sync calendars at all so any calendar additions i need on my mac i just have to enter manually. It's been like this since August despite many attempt to do a restore and fix it. I even tried clearing out all my calendars thinking that perhaps there were too many entries. Anyone have any ideas?

Why won't iPhone sync with iCal?

Since downloading the most recent iPhone software update on Mon. 10/1/07, my iPhone won't sync with iCal on my MacBook. I get a "mingling data" error, and that's odd because the appointments that don't transfer to iPhone can be clearly listed in iCal. What happened with this latest update to create this?
Thanx!

Actually, my question is answered by myandrews response to Carl Jonsson's same problem dated Sep. 28, 2007.
Thanx,

Recommendations for a phone that will sync with iCal and Addressbook?

I'm confused by the posts regarding what mobile phones will and won't sync with iCal and Addressbook. Apple has a list of isync compatible devices (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html), but it seems from some of the posts here as though phones not listed will also sync.
Can those of you who know about cellular phones that sync with iCal and Addressbook please recommend some models for me. These are the things I need:
-Cingular service compatibility
-syncs with iCal (including to dos) and Addressbook (must store at least 1500 entries)
-bluetooth
-a small phone would be nice
I don't care whether it has a camera, an mp3player, PTT, picture messaging, video, or voice activation. Wi-Fi would be nice, but it's not imperative. Also, please let me know if I would need to purchase any third-party software or hardware.
Thank you.
Todd Berliner

The supported device list contains a list of devices that Apple claims are explicitly compatible with iSync out of the box, subject to the limitations outlined in the footnotes at the bottom of the page [the ones that apparently almost no one ever reads] and the general rule that carriers may not support certain features [say, Bluetooth or USB] and may not support certain functions [say, calendar synchronization] with a supported device.
Manufacturers like Audiovox, LG, Samsung and Sharp are not supported, unless they run an OS listed below, instead of their proprietary operating systems. If a device is not manufactured by Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Seimens, Sendo or SONY Ericsson, it is generally not supported, unless it uses…
• the Blackberry OS [which requires third-party software]
• the danger HipTop OS [which requires third-party software]
• the Palm OS [which is is supported but performs better with third-party software]
• the Windows Mobile OS [which requires third-party software*]
*Windows Mobile 5 device support is not yet available in release software.
…or, an iSync-compatible plug-in has been written to extend support to a specific device or family of devices.
Julian referred you to a site where he has made a number of plug-ins available for various mobile handsets. Nova Media also sells a low cost package of plug-ins providing support for various handsets.
http://www.novamedia.de/sync/index.html
Others have built single-use plug ins with various degrees of success, which you can find using tools like Google.
The bottom line: if you are going to vary from the iSync Supported Device list, you have to do some relatively extensive research, including searching these forums for your specific device, to determine if it can be supported. Many plug-ins are intended only to work with iSync 2.2, so Mac OS X 10.4.6 is a requirement in most cases.

ICal won't sync with Blackberry curve

I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 on a PowerBook G4. The Curve is brand new out of the box. I did the software update for the Curve and Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac.

Ipod touch Why won't my 2nd gen ipod touch sync with ical

Rather recently my ipod touch (2nd gen) won't sync with the ical. The only information that shows up is birthdays. None of my appointments past or future are syncing. What is happening?
I have tried to 1. select individual calendars and 2. tried to select "all" and even 3. tried the one time replace all calendar options. No go. I can't get events to show up other than birthdays.
I only sync with the USB port to my macbook pro
Very strange.

In fact I had only the birthday calendar turned on. I was unaware that could be done. Now that I have all showing it works just fine. Thanks!

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

Will a Palm Centro or Blackberry sync with iCal?

Will a Palm Centro or Blackberry sync with iCal?

Greetings,
Yes on both but you would need software to do the sync for you.
If you are running Mac OS X 10.6.x, Palm is no longer updating their sync software (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/centro/centro/unlocked/solutions/article/332 19_en.html). You would need a sync solution like: http://www.markspace.com/
Blackberry has their own sync software which you can get from them.
Cheers!

Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5. How can I refresh them so they will all sync together. I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro. I turned iCloud off then on again. I also turned calendars on and off again. Then the event disappeared from my iPad also. So now it is only on my iPhone 5. How do I sync ical with all my devices?

Anna,
I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage.
It would be helpful to know if you used this support article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

ICal won't sync with iPad

iTunes says that calendars are syncing, but events from my iPad don't show up on my iMac. This is frustrating as this is the only way I have of syncing my iPad and iPhone. Please help
I have searched and see that many others are having this issue with no real resolution. I am hoping it has been fixed in the 6 weeks since the last post I found.
