Bookmarks no longer syncing via .Mac

I have noticed that my Safari bookmarks are no longer syncing between my Macs using .Mac. (Every other type of item is syncing ok, i.e. iCal etc)
This MAY have started since v3.1 was installed, but I have no proof of that.
Anyone else noticed this?
TIA
Mark

Okay, I did a little more investigation into this issue.
First, if you have not already read this thread, I suggest you do so: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1448192&tstart=15
Although the particular issue discussed in this thread is a problem with the Sync Server crashing, there are a few interesting insights.
I tried one of the suggestions from that thread. To see if normal syncing behavior could be reestablished, I deleted my current bookmarks, synced to .Mac, then copied back my original Bookmarks.plist file and synced again.
I did this process on two of my machines. Of course, I first backed up my Safari Bookmarks.plist file on each of my Macs. The result, no change in syncing behavior. Although my original bookmarks were repaired by copying them back, the process did not restore normal syncing behavior between the two Macs.
.Mac syncing of bookmarks still has no affect. The bookmarks remain unchanged between both Macs even though they should be merging their respective data.

    Why not upgrade to Snow Leopard, if you can?
    NO. There is no way to downgrade your iPhone OS back to iOS6. Apple makes downgrades of their mobile OS not possible.
    If you can, the only thing you can do is upgrade your Mac's OS X operating system.

  • Palm Tungsten E No Longer Sync with Macs

    I have a Palm Tungsten E (OS 4.5.1P) that no longer Sync's to my two Macintosh computers with OS 10.5.8 but still works fine with my PC computer. That's to say the Macintosh computers won't even acknowledge that I'm trying to sync and via versa that the Tungsten doesn't see the Mac's trying to sync. It's like I have no USB cable attached (which is how I have always synchronized it). 
    In trouble shooting, I've found that my Palm Zire 72 (OS 4.5.2P) will sync flawlessly with all these computers. What did I change?! Nothing I think. Help please.

    Have you done a restart on the Mac's? Also on the device? Also have you tried a different sync cable?

  • Apps no longer syncing via iCloud

    I run a time-keeping app (Tyme) on my iMac and Macbook, and have always been able to keep the app data synchronised between both devices through iCloud.  All of a sudden yesterday the sync stopped working (it now just hangs on the Macbook).  The Tyme folder does not appear in iCloud Drive on the web either (even though on both devices I have the app ticked under iCloud Drive settings).  The only thing I can think of that might have changed is that I restarted my iMac a couple of days ago, which will have installed any operating system updates that were pending.
    Can anyone help?

    You shouldn't be syncing using both iCloud and iTunes, check your settings you may not be syncing via iCloud (system preferences > iCloud on the mac and settings > iCloud on the phone)

  • Address Book images not syncing via .Mac sync

    i recently decided to get serious about attaching images to my contacts in address book. the images sync perfectly with the iphone, but they dont sync at all between the other copies of address book on the various macs in my home. the addresses (text) sync just fine -- but not the images.
    what am i missing, here?

    I had the same problem. My Mac's address book (including images) were synced via Missing Sync from my Windows Mobile phone. None of the images transferred to the iPhone. I then went into each Address Book entry and manually resized the image (edit, dc on the image and drag the slider to resize the image) and then resynced. Now all is perfect!
    One side note- if you assign a contact image on the Mac or PC and sync to the phone, the image is shown in a small thumbnail on the top line of the phone when that person calls, etc... If instead you assign a photo on the iPhone itself using the "select current photo" option, then the photo is shown full screen instead of thumbnail! I copied all of my "CallerID" photos to an iPhoto photo album, synced that album to the phone, then manually assigned a photo to a contact on the phone and now they are full screen. Very cool!

  • ICal no longer syncing via MobileMe correctly

    Hello,
    I was hoping someone might be able to help. Ever since the upgrade to MobileMe for iCal, syncing has become an issue on the iPad (on the iPhone 4 it works fine). For some reason, only my subscribed events will show up on the iPad, and all my other calendars do not so up in the calendar list what so ever.
    I have turned syncing off in the settings for MobileMe on the iPad and turned it back on again but it has had no effect. Any other suggestions would be welcome!
    Regards,
    Graeme

    1. Fire up your Mac and connect the iPad.
    2. Open iTunes and confirm that you are NOT syncing via the cable. Change settings as appropriate. When finished, disconnect the iPad and power it down.
    3. Open iCal on the Mac and confirm that the events are correct. Add/delete events as appropriate. Quit from iCal.
    4. Open System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync
    5. Click on "Advanced" and then click on your Mac when it shows up.
    6. Click on "Reset Sync Data"
    7. At the top, Replace: Calendars
    8. Click the right-pointing arrow so that the complete text states: "Replace Calendars on MobileMe with sync info from this computer."
    9. Click "Replace"
    10. You're finished with the Mac. Power up the iPad and give it time to resync to MobileMe and you're good to go.

  • No Longer Syncing to .Mac

    Thanks for reading this.
    I'm a fairly decent techie, so I'm only posting this after exhaustive research and countless attempts at a solution.
    For starters I'm running 10.3.9 and iSync 1.5
    (Yes, yes, I want to upgrade to tiger, but I'm in the middle of a Final Cut Project, so I hope you can respect that.)
    After a failed Sync session, a re-Sync hung up on "...Calendars and To Do Items" of the time bar. I had to force quit. (This I know creates all kinds of problems.)
    iSync will automatically try to continue syncing if you restart the program. So after an OS restart, I delete my devices and try and reset my .Mac sync. (reset .Mac files and use the info from this computer).
    Same hang up. Restart.
    (Read through the discussion board for clues...)
    Delete possible corrupt iSync files - User>Library>Application Support>ISync
    and it's plist files.
    I open iSync. I unregister my computer. I close iSync. I take my sign in name and password out of my .Mac System prefs. Close it. Restart the OS.
    Enter my info into my .Mac prefs (yes, my iDisk does connect and work)
    Open ISync, register my computer, choose sync for first time using info from my computer.
    Same hang up. Restart.
    Delete and reinstall iSync and then the same process as above.
    Same hang up.
    Near as I can tell. It's either a file it can't overwrite in my .Mac iSync folder
    (IDisk>library>Application Support>SyncServices) (which I fear deleting for some reason...
    OR
    A corrupt iCal file (the program and the Calendar work fine).
    Suggestions? I need to sync (for safety, as well as my phone, on a daily basis)
    I'm a freelancer and am constantly updating my calendar and info.
    Much appreciated (in advance) for your brain cell usage.
    Dario

    Phyllis,
    For your problem, I would recomend what some other posting suggested.
    Go to your System Preferences control panel in your Dock, choose your .Mac account. Remove your name and password. Quit/Close the System Preferences control panel. Re Open the System Preferences control panel and re enter your info. That should kickstart your connection. If that doesn't work try the same process but RESTART your computer in betweeen closing and opening the System Preferences control panel. Good luck.

  • ICal stopped syncing via .mac

    iCal has stopped syncing using .mac and I can't use iCloud because I'm on Snow Leopard (can't upgrade yet due to Lion's lack of support of previous versions of Microsoft Office). The iCal sync option is turned on in system preferences. Has Apple changed something already in .mac to cause this?

  • ICal no longer syncing with .Mac between Leopard and previous OS

    hi,
    Two Mac's, both new-ish. When I had the previous OS running on both, my iCal syncing worked great through .Mac. However, I have recently upgraded to Leopard on just one of these machines. Now, the machine with the previous OS will not sync to the one running Leopard, however, the Leopard one will sync to the other one.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks so much!

    I was having the same problems you describe and after trying suggestions from a variety of posts in the discussion forum, here's what worked for me because simply unregistering and resetting sync data didn't solve the problem.
    While I'm sure a few steps could be left out, what seemed to make all the difference was
    a. getting rid of groups of calendars and
    b. not simply reseting the data but deleting and reimporting it from the "master" computer
    1. I made sure one of my computers had complete and updated calendars (the iBook running 10.5.1)
    2. I had clustered my calendars into sub-groups, so I ditched that level of organization so everything was on the same level and created a backup database (thus my iBook became my "master")
    3. I exported each of my calendars individually (i.e. "Home.ics" "Work.ics" etc.)
    4. On the Mini (running 10.4.11), I deleted all my calendars (except for my subscriptions) and unregistered the Mini from .Mac syncing
    5. I imported each of the calendar from the iBook into iCal on my Mini so that I had the same data on both computers
    6. After restarting both machines for good measure, I reset the iCal sync data on .Mac using the info on my iBook, then registered my Mini, and reset the iCal using data from .Mac to overwrite the Mini
    7. I rebooted again, set up test events (in different calendars) on each computer, synchronized, and voila!

  • Why can i no longer sync via USB after I restore my iPhone?

    I was having so many problems syncing my iPhone with my new IMac that I bought this year, I decided to restore my iPhone.  Then iCloud did not restore my phone despite paying money for that. Then iTunes does not give me a summary. Instead it gives me a white screen with a silver apple, a locked lock, and a long oval.  Is this apple's way of forcing me to get the new Mountain Lion operating system?  I've been on the phone with apple for almost a half hour and no one can tell me what is wrong.

    This happened ever since google dropped support for exchange. There is a work around.
    go to settings
    then mail contacts and calendars.
    Add account
    select other
    select under calendars.......add caldav account
    then goes as follows
    server: m.google.com
    username: full email
    password: your pass duh!
    description: whatever you want!!!
    cheers dude!

  • Ical no longer syncs with isync or .mac

    Ical on my PowerBook G4 no longer syncs with .mac or via isync. When I open ical, none of the events on the calendars display. After moving between "month" and "week" I can get the events to display. When I sync, I receive a window saying " Can't synchronize calendars and To Do items to iCal: device is not available." This is not the same as the message normally received when an external device such as an ipod is not connected. Bookmarks and Address Book are synchronizing without problem. Anybody out there experienced something similar? I have tried throwing away the ical preferences .plist from the library but that has not helped.

    I don't have Panther available anymore so I'm shooting in the dark. You might try to stop syncing and then turn syncing back on (the idea is to break the connection and start new) Be sure to have a backup of anything you can't lose.
    You might also try trashing iSync preferences.

  • IPhone no longer syncing with Macbook/iPhoto

    Phone though synced to another Mac would handshake with Macbook and allow photos to be uploaded. No longer
    It also no longer appears in iTunes.
    Basically its not there as far as the Macbook is concerned and I'd really like to upload some photos. What gives? Used to do this no problem.
    TIA

    You can no longer sync via iTunes. That method of sync was removed (and the 1000+ post thread is arguments over things tangientally related to that).
    You need to sync via other means than iTunes, then.
    One option is to use iCloud. If you sign into iCloud on all your devices, and then make sure your calendars are in the "iCloud" section on your devices, they should sync.
    If you don't want to use iCloud, you could use Google calendars, they operate much the same way (but may be less reliable).
    Or if you use Exchange for work, you could sync that way.
    Or if none of those are acceptable, you could install OS X Server and set up the calendar server on your local network and use it to sync. This is fairly straightforward "for setting up a UNIX calendar server" but it's not trivial and beyond the scope of a forum post to explain it all

  • No Longer Syncing With iCal

    My appointments are no longer syncing between my iPhone & iCal.

  • ICal no longer syncing with iPhone

    My iCal has suddenly stopped syncing with my iPhone and I have tried everything to get it to work again, with no luck. I do not use iCloud and sync through iTunes.
    The operating system on my computer is Mountain Lion, my iPhone is a 4S with iSO 5.1.1 and I am using iTunes 11.0.1.
    Does anyone know what could be causing my syncing to suddenly stop? Everything else on my computer is syncing with my iPhone.
