Can't sync iCal on my iMac to my iPhone

Spent most of yesterday trying to sync the info on iCal on my desktop iMac to my iPhone.  Still can't do it.  Any help would be appreciated.  New member here; first post.  Thanks so much.  Liz

Once upon a time, I had LION installed on my 24" iMac.  I moved my MobileMe account to iCloud.  Shortly after that, the badly botched Lion installation (done by an Apple Genius over the phone) caused so much trouble, I had to take my desktop in to be serviced.  They did a complete back up and reinstalled Snow Leopard.  So now I have a mobile me account (through Snow Leopard) that does not input into iCloud.  However, I can still access iCloud from iCloud.com.
That was TMI, wasn't it?  
So, from what I am hearing, I should just go to iCloud to schedule things from now on, instead of using iCal on the 24"....?
Thanks for your reply!
Liz

  • Can you sync ical from two imacs across a lan/network

    Hi Forgive me if this has already been asked previously. I am new here
    We have 2 iMacs at home and want to sync our ical's

    The simplest way is to publish your both calendar to google calendar using CalDAV:
    http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358#
    and each of you can see both within iCal and even modify the other calendar if the rights are done.
    An alternative is to use iCal Exchange(http://www.icalx.com/) but in this case each can only see the other calendar, not modify it.
    It works very well here. Good luck

  • How to sync iCal between my iMac, iPad and iPhone? I get duplicate entries

    I have a university Email (with Calendar) and then iCal on my desktop, laptop, ipad and iphone. I am finding that my calendars are not synced at all.. Either I get duplicates or I only get what I put on specific device.
    BTW- I do NOT have On My Mac calendars checked..
    is it easy to fix on my own or do I need to get to a Genius at an Apple store?

    iCloud is coming this Fall, and it's supposed to solve these problems, if you can wait a little longer.

  • Can I sync iCal calendars from two iMac's together?

    Can I sync iCal calendars from two iMac's together?

    No you cannot sync an iPhoto library between two macs. If you do you will corrupt the iPhoto Library file. iPhoto is a consumer level app, and this feature is not supported.
    What you can do is share the photos but not the library. Each machine will need to have it's own library file.
    The easiest way to do it this is to enable sharing (in the iPhoto Preferences) on both machines (one sharing the library, the other looking for the share). When you do this the shared library will appear in the Source (or left-hand) pane and pics can be dragged from that to the library in the other machine.

  • I cannot sync Ical on my iMac with my professional calendar (outlook web access). and I don't understand why it doesn't work since I have already made it with my iPhone. Help

    Hello,
    I bought an iMac few days ago. I would like to sync ical on my iMac with my professional calendar I use in my company (from outlook web access).
    I was easy to manage it on my iPhone (I just add a new "exchange" mail account and ask for a calendar sync only) and it worked very quickly.
    But I cannot do it with the iMac, and I don't undersatnd why?
    the domain is is used for my iPhone is the following :
    owa.companyname.com
    I tried all the solutions I found in this forum but it doesn't work.
    Many thanks in advancefor your help.

    Does it have to be an applet?
    If you want the same behaviour as in the code with traffic lights, change
    class MortgageApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
    to
    class MortgageApplet extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    and change
    public void init() {
    to
    public MortgageApplet() {                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • How do you sync iCal on my iMac to my iPad?

    How do you sync iCal on my iMac to my iPad?

    Hi Patti,
    You need to use a server calendar system like on iCloud or Google Calendar. You could alternatively connect your iPad to the computer and use iTunes to sync calendars.

  • How can I sync ical To Do Tasks? About time?

    any ideas on How can I sync ical To Do Tasks? ideally I'd like to sync to my ipad too
    I currently have Outlook 2011 syncing its tasks to ical nicely, just now need to put them onto my iphone then it would be perfect!
    I'm guessing there might be some apps that do this, but would love some suggestions if anyone has any?
    thanks in advance?

    Unfortunately this is far from easy. It used to be possible with MobileMe, but the process requires a CalDAV server, which very few website hosting services are.
    The first step is that you can't do this with an iCloud calendar: it has to be listed under 'On My Mac'. Control-click the calendar and choose 'Publish'. Set 'publish on' to 'A private server' (I'm looking at this on Snow Leopard, where the default is 'MobileMe', which obviously won't work - I don't know if Mountain Lion is different). What I see is this:
    You will want to check 'Publish changes automatically'.
    Unfortunately it now gets difficult. If you publish to an ordinary website hosting server, all you will get is a text file. MobileMe had the facility to take the published file and turn it into a structured web page. I'm afraid you may have a lot of difficulty in finding a server to do this - I did see a reference to one which claimed to be able to do this, but people were complaining that it didn't work and unfortunately I can't remember the name. iCal's instructions rather assume that you will be running your own server, which I would assume you don't want to get into - I wouldn't.
    The easier alternative is to publish publicly from an iCloud calendar - please see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479 and expand 'Share a public calendar' - but recipients will need a CalDAV client to open it: iCal is of course one, and Google Calendars another (though I've seen complaints of it being flaky).

    Disconnect your devices then reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your devices again reboot your devices. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
