Can't sync iCal with Blackberry since 10.6.6 OS update

My Blackberry Storm used to sync just fine with my iCal and Address Book. After I installed Snow Leopard recently, the next sync took a long time, but worked fine. I installed the most recent OS update and now I can't sync the Calendar. The sync process starts, then I get a message that says there was an error during sync, to try it again. It goes ahead and syncs the Address Book just fine. Then I try syncing again. Same error message.
Oh, and another difference I notice now. When I connect my BB to my laptop, nothing happens. My computer doesn't acknowledge that a device has been connected. If I go into Applications and launch the Blackberry Desktop Software, the device suddenly shows up in my Finder window like always (all this used to happen automatically when I connected the Blackberry to the laptop).
Is it a coincidence that this is happening after I installed the most recent Snow Leopard update? Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions for a simple fix (I'm not terribly expert, so please keep instructions simple)? Thanks.

I've had the same problem. Apple chat representative said there's nothing to be done. They've designed the new calendar to not sync with Blackberry. They want everyone to buy an iPhone, too. I was told that there's no way to go back to the old iCal. In short, Apple rep was really uncooperative and did everything to defend Mac's decision to block out Blackberry. Needless to say, I was really disappointed in them. Considering going back to pc just because of this incident.

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
3. Sync the BB.
3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

You should copy your iTunes library from the older computer to your new laptop using one of the methods described in this Apple support document.

Or if you would like you can use your iPod to move your iTunes library as well, assuming it's a model that supports Disk Mode (meaning it's not an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad).

Can I sync iCal with Yahoo?

I'm running OSX Leopard on a new iMac. Address book will let me sync contacts with my Yahoo account (it's a button in the preferences pane), but iCal does not appear to have this same functionality. Is there a way to make this work?

Can I sync iCal with my Samsung 740 phone?

I recently bought a new phone - Samsung 740. I would prefer not to buy a data plan but just sync my calendar to my MacBook Pro. When I ask if this can be done at the Verizon store, all I get are blank looks. They sell a USB cable but have no other advice. Can someone advise me? Thank you.

No you can't. Only two Samsung phones are compatible with iSync because Samsung hasn't bothered to implement the industry standard SyncML protocol in most of their phones.
Did you check Apple's iSync Compatible Devices page before purchasing?
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
Also, Verizon have a habit of crippling Bluetooth and syncing features of some of their phones, thereby forcing you to use 'over-the-air' (i.e. costly) functions.

How can I sync iCal with my iPhone 4 without connecting to iTunes?

I would like to be able to add an event to iCal (for example) and have it automatically update in my iPhone. I currently have to plug the iPhone in. I do not subscribe to MobileMe or Google calendars, and don't want to! Any help is appreciated.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match ($24.99 per annum in the US) and upload those songs to it form your computer, then the only way to get them into your phone's Music app is by connecting the phone and syncing.

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.

Since upgrading ical on mac can't sync calanders with older generation touch using 3.1.3os now calander on touch generates blank screen...any ideas

since upgrading ical on mac for .me account can't sync calanders with older generation itouch using 3.1.3os now calander on itouch generates blank screen...any ideas

Thank you for suggesting the link. it seems the problem was even simpler than I had thought had I read the FAQ link of the iCal/me upgrade notification ... Apple's latest version of iCal simply does not support versions of the iOS earlier than 4.2. The device I had been using was a first generation touch... Still working ... with out error in good condition despite having been to hades and back... But no longer supported by the newer versions of the iOS and the .ME ical application...
Another beautiful but orphaned device:-(. Like the absence of support for "ancient" apple operating systems, including their more interesting applications, it is simply no longer supported...one must move on to purchase new hardware and it's associated software to keep up with the evolving cloud os. The blank screen ical problem, on the touch, was corrected by performing the standard start up reboot procedure...with no loss of data and a return of the screen interface in the end. Again another example of the really outstanding past efforts to make robust system products. I will try to put my old touch to good use in its new " retirement" status ...use it some where else, like my original 128k Mac ( that still works as well!). Guess it is time to purchase a newer tool ;-)
Thanks again for taking the time to make the effort to assist

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Since I installed ios 6.1 in my iPhone 4, I can't sync it with iTunes. Can annyone help me? I have already reinstalled iTunes and reseted the iPhone, but it still doesn't sync. Thank you.

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Can't sync Outlook with iCal - but only when I activate iCloud

I have seen discussions in the forums about problems syncing Outlook with iCal - however, that is not *exactly* my issue. I can sync them fine, until I put the resulting iCal calendar in iCloud. Then Outook (2011 for Mac) stops syncing with iCal (v. 5.0.3). I take it out of iCloud, it works. What I want to be able to do is: 1. Sync Outlook with iCal. 2. Sync iCal with my iPhone via iCloud.
I used to manually sync my iPhone (4s) with my work computer (which apparently I could go back to doing if I change the settings in my iPhone?) and just update my work calendar to get it on my phone (my home calendar syncs fine, but it's not integrated with Outlook). I don't want to only use iCal, because I get a lot of Outlook invites for meetings.
Is this a feature that's just not supported by Apple at this time? Do I need to upgrade my O/S? I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion).
In short, I just want my Outlook calendar on my iPhone (ideally, without having to manually sync).

What kind of iPad and iPhone are you working with.. and what Software version on (5.1.1) is the most recent..

Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.
