Can't sync my Android phone with iCal and Google.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note .. and I can't seem to have my iCal calendar sync with the phone. I've tried every program .. only my contacts sync over for some odd reason.
Can someone please help me?

i was able to.. how do you have it set up? what happens? nothing? error message?
the android phone should sync on its own to google cal.. so no need to worry about that..
you should be able to go in to ical - preferences - accounts- add account and add the google account.

How can I make my Outlook sync with ical and address book on more than one mac?

It currently syncs with my iMac through 'this computer' folder, but i dont have outlook on my macbook, so basically... how can i make my outlook automatically convert/sync to icloud enabled folders?
Not too confusing i hope.

Outlook won't work with iCloud. On your Mac.

ICal and Adress Book sync brings back deleted stuff

Hi everyone,
I hope this wasn't posted yet, in any case I couldn't find it, so sorry for any double posts.
I use my iPhone as my primary work device and perform all changes of Calendar and Contact data on it. When I sync it with my desktop Mac (PowerMac G4 that I use as backup device for pretty much everything) all the old contact details and calendar events that I deleted from the iPhone are synced back to it from the desktop Mac. I exclusively sync via iTunes.
So what I want would be a one-way sync from my iPhone to the desktop Mac so iCal and Adress Book there are just as up to date as on the iPhone. Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks, Allan.
I am not sure if I will follow your advice, however. While you're probably right and it should be a true sync, what I was trying to say was that in my case (and apparently Berit's as well) it simply isn't.
Which means that apart from the fact that we will probably have to clean out our adress books and calendars again after a reset and sync. I've done that three times already and believe me, it's a major pain. Plus, there is also a chance it won't work afterwards.
I was actually hoping for there to be some workaround solution like a one-way sync. And I'm not happy with Apple's tendency to prevent such workarounds wherever they can. I understand they want to profit from their awesome products but wherever anything doesn't work they're starting to lose their user friendliness along the way. Which still, to me, is their selling point number one, notwithstanding the really great design.
Honestly, I'm not sure what to do right now.
But thanks again for your time. I'll keep posting what happens.
Best,
Martin

Any recommendations on productivity for database and project management, Bento was good but no longer sync with ical and address book

I've unfortunately updated to the new Bento on MakBook and iPad and synced my data and in the process it tells me that iCal and Address books will not sync any more. I have several projects I am working on and looking for something that will syn with iCal, address book and Busy Cal to manage my time efficiently and seamlessly. Help?

I think you're in the wrong forum - this is for developers, who write programs for apple products.
As for Bento, their problem is due to Apple's changes in the API. The code that syncs with calendars and contacts is now deprecated, which means at some point in the future, it will no longer work. This problem will affect all developers, so you probably won't find any replacement for Bento.

IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You're welcome.
You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

Video ipod not syncing with ical and address book

In iTunes preferences, under the tab for both calendar and contacts, when I attempt to check the "synchronize Address Book contacts", I get a window that says: No Contacts Available contact syncing cannot be enabled because there are no contacts available. Do you want to open Address Book and create contacts now? If I choose open address book, it opens my address book which has 564 contacts in it. The same thing is happening with ical.

Weel, I finally discovered what the problem was. It seems to have occurred a mistake while syncing two computers with .mac. Apparently, instead of reinitializing all informations from one of them, they were simply erased and, while on one of the computers my calendars did appear (the one I was syncing the iPod, too), they were a sort of 'ghost' images. So I had to reinitialize again, and then tried to sync the iPod. Now the calendars are displayed correctly on both, and the sync preferences on iTunes are correct, too. Hope this can help somebody.

Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed. Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system. Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed. Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs). This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues. In other words, it does not work as it should.
I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it. I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design. Support can't fix what is broken the program.
Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing. Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours. I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

ICal and adress book

Hello. I was creating a new event in iCal, but when I set a email as an alarm, it said, "You must add your own card and email adress in the Address Book in order to be able to use email alarms" So I went and added myself in my Adress Book, went and tried to set email as an alarm, but I got the same message again.
I realize that I was supposed to have my own address card already when I got the computer, but I have reinstalled the OS and now it's not there, neither is Apple's address card.
Anyone know the fix to this issue? Thanks in advance.
Nevermind, found out my name wasn't Jonathan Pang, but jonathanpang

you've probably already tried this, but have you selected a new card with your info in address book and selected the menu item Card>Make This My Card
did this once before and it worked in resetting my profile card
good luck!

I can not syn the i phone with I tune in laptop

It syn step 1, 2 ,3, but can not complete step 4.
I install App at I tune (laptone), managed to transfer the App to mini i pad but can not do so for I phone 4s

There are still 'some' apps that only require 4.2.1, but very few and far between. I dont' evne know of any off the top of my head.
However, an iPhone 3GS can run iOS 6, and there are many, many apps that only require iOS 6. Or, with an iPhone 4 or higher, you can run iOS 7.

How to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book, how to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book

I have a Galaxy S2, gmail account, hotmail account and want to know the best way to be able to sync calendar and contacts from the Galaxy S2 with iCal and Address Book. I want to be able to make changes on any device and be able to sync the changes. Hotmail is my main email account and would prefer to use tha account but I know that the Galaxy prefers Google. Any ideas?

You have several ways to sync your phone to a mac.
You can use Samsung Kies for mac. You can download it here.
You can also use Google for it. Open Adress Book, click Adress Book on the left top of the screen, click Prefferences and open the Accounts tab. You'll see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox, click it, enter you mail and password and you are good to go.
On iCal go to Preferences (top left, click iCal to see it), open the Accounts Tab, you'll see a blank list on the left, at the bottom of it there is a "+" sign, click on it and select Google on the Account Type dropdown list, enter your account details and you are done.
Third way to do it is by using third party software such as SyncMate.
Hope any of these alternatives solve your problem!
(The iCal and Address Book instructions are for Snow Leopard, but it should be almost the same on Lion)

Problems with iCal and Picasa: related to system battery?

Just over the past two days, iCal has been repeatedly showing alarms at 5 past the hour, and Google Update has been repeatedly (much more often than hourly) asking for me to update Picasa, even though I successfully updated the first time the dialog box appeared a couple of days ago.
The iCal alarm that popped up while I was reading this showed alarms dating back to 23:55 GMT on Monday 15 November. If I leave my computer for more than 2 hours I do not get duplicate alarm windows stacked up.
Racking my brain for recent changes made which may be significant (I use my computer so much it seems to be in a continuous state of flux):
-I reset the SMC
-I upgraded to 10.6.5
-My slot-loading drive has been failing to eject CDs (probably a red herring. I've been using a script to repeatedly use drutil tray eject 1 until ejected).
Other details which may or may not have a bearing:-
I use Parallels Desktop 5 regularly, which slows my machine down considerably.
I have an iPhone 3G which I sync with iCal, iTunes, Adress Book etc.
Any other changes, I really can't remember. Is there any way to look at log files (which I find monumentally off-putting, but would try), or something else, to easily pick out my recent significant changes? The fewer sources I have to check the better, as I am very time-poor.
Obviously thanks and respect go to anyone who can be helpful.

This solved my the problem ! The solution was written by a Googe employee.
I assume you've enabled two-factor authentication for your Google account. In this case, you'll have to generate an access code at https://www.google.com/
accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens - and use that code in place of your password in the iPhone Mail settings.
You'll have to generate a new access code for each place you log in that doesn't support two-factor authentication (i.e. anywhere except in a browser).
Since the apple email client doesn't support the new gmail authenticator, you have to generate a code via the link above and use that in place of your regular password.

Can't get iCal and Address Book to sync properly

I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Since then, I can't get iCal and Address book to sync properly with Entourage 2008 (I did set all three sync criteria in Entourage preferences). None of Entourage's events go into iCal (iCal is blank) and the Address Book has 10 times as many names as Entourage. Everything in Entourage 2008 is correct and everything in iCal and Address Book is essentially wrong.
Is there some way for me to erase everything in Address Book and iCal and start the sync between them and Entourage from scratch? Ultimately, I am trying to get Entourage to sync with my new Blackberry, which it does through iCal and Address Book using Missing Sync. I can't make this happen until information is flowing properly from Entourage to iCal and Address Book.
Thank you!

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA IN ENTOURAGE.
You can delete everything in iCal by deleting the calendar (Entourage or Personal or temp or whatever Calendar is there). You can delete everything in Address book either by highlighting all the contacts and hitting delete or by deleting the Address Book folder in Address Book.
The key in getting them to sync properly with Entourage is deleting all the preferences in your Library folder under <your user>. Delete anything with Microsoft Entourage in it. I also deleted iCal preferences and Address Book Preferences.
I also found it necessary to go to the Office folder and delete the sync services folder.
Also go to Entourage sync services and turn OFF syncing with iCal and Address Book. Exit Entourage.
Go to your application folder, isync - reset sync history (button at bottom of screen).
Then bring up Entourage, sync services, and reactivate syncing with iCal and Address Book.
Everything should work. I have been struggling with this the last week or two. I've had innumerable exchanges with MS who have said anything with syncing is not their problem it's an apple application. Through these discussion boards I pieced together all of the elements above. But be sure to back up anything you want to keep before you do any of this.
It should work. It did for me (at least last night and all day today). Good luck.

How to connect a Razr to iCal and Address Book w/ bluetooth

How to connect a Razr to iCal and Address Book w/ bluetooth
Hello. I am going to post this in multiple forums because I searched but couldn't find anything on how to sync my Razr with Tiger's iCal and Address Book so this is the How To.
First, download the software Pacifist which can be found on www.versiontracker.com. After the download, put your Tiger DVD into the drive, open the packages in Pacifist, and do a search for iSync.app. Drag that app into your Applications folder. Go to www.versiontracker.com again, and download the iSync 2.1 update. Run that update, and after the restart, use the bluetooth setup to connect to your phone. After pairing, the bluetooth setup should say that you can sync your contacts and ical list. Go to your Applications folder and find iSync. Using this application, you can now adjust the settings for your iCal and Address Book apps.
Good luck!

Hi,
There's a dedicated forum for Server customers.

Migrating iCal and Address book data from Mac Pro G5 10.5 to new iMac10.6

I last week moved from my old Mac Pro G5 with OS 10.5 to a new iMac 2.8 GHz Intel core i7.
I succeeded pretty well to move my different files from one computer to the other not using the Migration assistant, which wouldn't work properly, but using my older Mac Pro as target disk.
Everything apparently works well with the exception of the transfer of data from iCal and my Address Book.
As suggested in a previous thread : kimaccdual: A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs, I tried to transfer the complete iCal and Address Book folders from : Home/Library/Application Support from the old to the new computer. This gave no result at all. Not any of the older data : appointments from iCal; names, addresses, phone numbers, etc (in actual fact : nothing) from the Address book application appears on the new iMac.
Can any one make a suggestion as to what specific files with their exact location contain this information so that I could try to transfer these to my new computer with more success than so far.
Thanks for your assistance
Just for your information I succeeded to transfer Bookmarks from Safari, mails from Mail, iPhoto and iTunes data.
What could be wring with iCal and Address Book ???

Kappy,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried this for the iCal application, however without any success. In actual fact in Home/Library/Preferences I only found following references to iCal :
com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.plist
which i copied from the old to the new computer as well as the iCal folder in Application Support as suggested.
As already said without any success.
As far as Address Book is concerned only the same type of files, but related to AB, are located on both computers.
Am I missing something or should I look for other files elsewhere f.i. in the "Contents" folder of the application itself ???
Thanks for anybody's further assistance
