Cannot sync iCal on iMac (10.5.8) with iCloud.

Basically, when I put in iCal events, it doesn't sync up to my iPhone 5.  I don't use Gmail, so I thought the easiest way to sync the devices would be through iCloud.  I've checked all of my sync options on the iPhone and they're all on.
Keep getting "Account information not found": Request to the server http://www.icloud.com/principals/users/'user_name'/ failed (code 30). I go into iCal > Preferences >  Accounts > + > put in my iCloud user name and password and enter "www.icloud.com" under "Server Options"/"Account URL:".  I also hit the "Use Kerberos v5 for authentication" button.  I've tried a bunch of different combinations and none of them seem to work.  Please help!

Yes, 10.5.8.  Is there another way to add in an account to sync my calendars then?  I use a Yahoo account.

  • Nokia E65 - Cannot sync iCal

    Good Morning,
    While I can sync the address book I cannot sync iCal. Can anybody help?
    When ticking address book only (iCal unticked) = can sync
    When ticking iCal only (address unticked) = no sync (error message: "unexpected error occured")
    When ticking address book + iCal = sync address book but not iCal ((error message: "unexpected error occured")

    Thanks but yes, I have installed all latest update for Nokia E65 as well as iSync.

  • I lost all my data in ical does this have to do with icloud/mobil me?, I lost all my data in ical does this have to do with icloud/mobil me?

    I lost all my data in ical does this have to do with icloud/mobil me? There is no account related to my icalendar. When I ty to enter my ATT/Yahoo it says that they do not allow CALDAV?? HElP Somebody!

    Hi Steve,
    If this is dot mac or Mobile me you can still use IMAP eMail in the iCloud.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
        •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 993
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
        •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 587
        •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • How can I sync my contact on the macbook pro with icloud?

  • My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

    My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

    iCloud will not sycn a calendar from an external source.  In order to use iCloud to sync it, you would have to move it to iCloud and stop using Google.  I know how to do that on a Mac, but I'm not sure how to do it on a PC.  If you're using Outlook, I suspect you export it as an .ics file to your desktop, then import it to the iCloud account in Outlook.  I'm sure you could use Google to find the specific steps.
    However, there's really no reason not to just use Google to sync your calendar across your devices.  Instead, just continue to use Goole calendar on all your devices and they should stay in sync.  Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Jj0KFgbYI.

  • 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() {

  • Cannot sync ical from iphone to my mac pro

    Hi All
    I have tried all sorts and although I ticked the relevant boxes on itunes, I cannot transfer (sync) ical info from iphone to my mac.
    I have no info on my mac i cal, everything else like contacts seem to sync no problem!
    I have tried using isync instead of itunes as some folk recommended but without any success.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks for your help

    Before syncing calendar events with an empty supported calendar app on your computer, you need to enter one calendar event in the supported calendar app on your computer - in this case in iCal on your Mac. Make this calendar event up if needed, which can be deleted later.
    If there are any calendar events available on your iPhone, this should provide a merge prompt with this first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    I have tried using isync instead of itunes as some folk recommended but without any success.
    iSync can't be used to sync anything with an iPhone. iSync can be used to reset the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences.

  • Syncing iCal on iMac with iCal on iPod Touch

    When I manually sync my iCal on iMac and iPod Touch, the all-day events on my iMac are not transferred to my iPod Touch. Any suggestions how to fix this?

    Try this....
    NOTE: the next steps will delete your existing iPod Touch calendar, contacts, and mail settings, but you can re-sync them again from your computer (assuming they are in there).
    1. on the iPod Touch go to settings>mail, contacts, calenders
    2. select your MobileMe account (not the email account the actual MobileMe account (should be the one under your .me account)
    3. turn off everything you don't want to sync (everything, right?)
    4. re-connect to iTunes and you will be able to sync without MobileMe
    5. You will now be able to re-sync your calendar, contacts, mail settings via iTunes as per usual manual sync. You may want to also, for this sync only, check replace contacts, calender and mail settings just to be sure.
    6. Once you sync, you are back to normal. Now go back into your iPod Touch and delete the MobileMe account altogether. (settings>mail,contacts,calendars>select account>delete account)

  • Still not resolved: cannot sync iCal with either my iPhone or Nokia E71

    I have tried everything that has been suggested in these posts, but neither the iPhone NOR the Nokia E71 want to sync with my iCal calendars (I have 4 set up in one iCal application). Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? It used to work fine, but not is suggesting that the iCal calendar is not "writable".

    I have just discovered something else on this issue (which still persists)..when I set up an appointment in the Nokia, it does find calendars to sync with but in Entourage instead of in my iCal? Does this help solve the problem that I have been having syncing iCal with Nokia/iPhone?? Anyone???

  • ITunes cannot sync iCal

    Since uploading iCloud I have not been able to sync iCal either over air or by cable - can anyone suggest a sequence that I can try?

    I found this in another thread and it seems to have resolved my iCal Sync to iPhone and iPad calendar issue:

    Re: I can't sync iCal to iPhone through iTunes in Mountain Lion (I don't want to use iCloud) Jul 29, 2012 4:31 PM (in response to graemecod)
    Hi people, I think I have a solution:
    Quit Calendar, and try removing the cache files from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Delete any files with CACHE in their name in the Calendars folder.
    When you open iCal again, it says "Updating calendars", and the sync now seems to work.
    Of course, do a backup of all calendars before doing any of this.

  • ICal on iMac won't synch with iphone 4 with 4s software update

    Help please.
    Since I updated my iphone 4 with the software for iphone 4s my ical on my imac won't synch with my iphone calendar. Also events are duplicated. It is driving me crazy as I have to check both clandarsd to ensure I don't miss any events and have to physically re enter them separately into the different calendars.
    If the fix involves backing up or anything technical can you please explain fully how I do it as I am not a very experienced mac user.
    Thanks
    Nicole

    "Well, I figured it out. The events that weren't syncing from my laptop to my iPhone were events for which I had changed the "calendar". In other words, I set up some events in iCal, all of which were part off the same calendar, but then I didn't like the color of those events. So I created a new calendar and changed these events by right clicking on them to assign them to the new calendar. Somehow, moving these events from the calendar they were created on to a different one caused them not to be recognized by the sync process. This sounds like a bug to me."

  • How can I make my iPhone sync with iCal on my Mac and not with iCloud?

    I live and travel in Africa and wi-fi is frequently a luxury.  iCloud syncing between Mac and my iPhones (a 3GS & 4) is not possible but when I turn iClod off, it deletes the calendar on my Mac.  In another forum it was suggested that you export your various calendars (personal, business etc) to the desktop, log out of iCloud and therefore have your iCal calendar deleted, re-boot to clear anything in the cache, import the calendars which are then on My Mac and sync.  It worked all the way until the last bit.  Syncing the iPhone is clunkingly slow and it only syncs one of my calendars which is the only one that appears in the info dialogue box in iTunes when the iPhone is connected.  Can anyone help?  iCloud is I am sure fine for those who have regular access to wi-fi but not me - I will be happy to go back to my time capsule which has done me well over the years.
    Some advice please

    Plug yr iPhone to your compu in the old fashioned way with cable.
    Just to cover yourself...select the iPhone in Devices of left pane of iTunes window, then on main pane, select radio button Back up to Computer. Right click on the iPhone in devices, do a backup. It shld then be on your compu'.
    Then, back in main windo, select Info 'tab' from top of the right pane, and tick the Sync iCal events.
    I'm sure this will help.
    If it all goes pear-shape, u have the backup to restore the pre-sync device.
