Cannot update iCal on desktop - not iCloud related

Since Thursday, I have not been successful in updating iCal on my Macbook Pro. When I make changes to iCal on my Macbook, iCal starts the updating process but never finishes. New entries continue to have a check mark next to them (showing that they haven't been updated to the server). I have an iPad and iPhone and cannot sync my calendars between the 3 devices. However, I can successfully log in to MobileMe and access my iCal file this way and have been able to update it. This method has enabled me to sync my iPhone and iPad. Why should I be having problems only with the desktop calendar? I have not yet upgraded to iCloud and am still using MobileMe sync.
I am using the newest version of Lion.

Emily...I do not have a fix but there seems to be a pervasive problem with iCal sync (whether MobileMe or iCloud) once the MacBook Pro is upgraded to Lion. There are at least five threads about this dating back to 10/14/11. No one has had a solution. I have an appt to speak to Apple Support tomorrow morning. Keep your fingers crossed.

Duplicates/extra entries in iCal on Iphone not ICloud related

So I have been having this issue for a long time and I have been through all the trouble shooting and it always points back to settings and whatever to iCloud. This is not an iCloud issue as I turned it off a while ago and I have Snow Leopard Version 10.6.8 on my Mac which I believe doesn't hook up to iCloud at all (Am I correct here?). I have an Iphone 5 and it is updated to the new IOS but this has been happening prior to the update and it ALSO happened on my previous iphone 4 and to my Ipad. I have finally deduced all the extra entries showing up on my phone are from any change I made to an entry on my iCal on my computer. For example: If I click on my Ical on my computer to make a new entry and deleted it, a new entry shows up on my iphone calendar for that event even though I deleted it from my computer. OR if I made a change to an event, it would show up on my iphone as two different events. The original way I entered the event and then another event on my phone with the change. (Same thing when I plug in my Ipad, makes all these crazy entried). I really need my calendar to work. This is ridiculous. Is anyone else having this issue or can someone PLEASE help me fix this???????

Hi kim standley,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would first try resetting SyncServices as described here:
Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
If the issue persists after that, I'd move on to this article:

I cannot update my iPad and notes it cannot be updated due to unknown error (6). I have not yet updated my Macbook to Yosemite (which I do not intend to do so yet) so would this be the problem and if so, how can I update the iPad?

Hi,
Ive moved my iphoto library to an external drive and it seems to be working fine launches from the external drive etc,
I then updated iphoto to iphoto 11 and then attempted to update to the current version either 9.3 or 9.4 i dont recall - whatever the updated version is.
I get a message that tells me that it cannot update because "file is not in original location"
Im not sure which file or which location is being referred to here.
im sure ive done something but cant seem to recall what that might have been...
im a little puzzled though since it still launches etc.
any help would be appreciated. (2007 imac)

"file is not in original location"
Is that the exact error message? When do you get this error? will your iPhoto library work properly withou the update?

HT201210 trying to update my iPhone 4 to latest 5x ios and getting a "cannot update due to firmware not compatible

Trying to update iPhone 4 to the latest iOS 5, the error "cannot update due to incompatible firmware" prevents install. Any idea on where to find firmware update or resolve?

The correct way to upgrade the firmware is to first assure that you have the latest version of iTunes, then connect the phone to your computer. Click on the name of the phone in iTunes, then "Check for Updates" on the iPhone Summary screen. It should tell you there is a new version, and ask if you want to upgrade to it. If you are using any other method, or you downloaded a firmware file from a web site, you are asking for trouble.
The only thing you might want to do is to delete any .ipsw files on your computer before doing the above, in the unlikely event that the update file was corrupted during download.

I cannot update apps iphone will not accept password

What happens when trying to update via iTunes on the computer?

I cannot update my G4 Desktop from Tiger 10.4.6 to Tiger 10.4.8 ...

While I have tried using the Software Update to upgrade from 10.4.6 to 10.4.8 (and now there is 10.4.9) ... I have had no luck. It will NOT install. It downloads and begins installation and then a RED exclamation point appears.
I have just tried updating using the 10.4.8 COMBO package from HEADGAP. The installation began and then a message appeared saying that "Errors during installation," and it did not complete the process.
Now, my Disk Utility and any of my System Preferences (like the Date and Time) cannot be changed.
Also, the latest JAVA update from Software Update will NOT install. The message says that the signature is "out of date."
HELP, please?

If you have a friend with a Mac that has Firewire, set your machine in target mode (holdiing down "T" key on startup), and then connect to your friends machine. Download, or pass him the combo updater. Now, run Disk Utility, and Disk Warrior on your machine, from his machine.
As Allan says, make certain you have enough room.

Firefox 34 unstable. Plugins blocked, Flash not working, cannot update Flash. Cannot update FLASH, as Adobe not offering update.

Repeated crashes with latest Firefox Version 34, running on Win XP SP3. Older Firefox version worked flawlessly. Update was a bad idea, as "security" fixes now block Flash from working. Attempt to update via Adobe cause further problems. Repeated crashes of internal program "plugin-container.exe". Poor product now, fails to provide the basic functionality - ie. viewing Flash video - that most web-brower users require. This solution was "solved" and worked fine, but stupid decisions appear to have been taken to block Flash, rather than fix the security vulnerabilites. Can't the leaky Adobe code just be "sandboxed" so code execution outside of a defined memory area is made impossible? About 1 billion global users rely on Flash, as most
video delivery websites use it. Just "blocking" the plugin is an arrogant goof's solution to the security problem.
But Adobe seems to have become obnoxious about not allowing or offering upgrades or fixes of Flash.
Recommended solution seems to be to download and install Dolphin browser, which is built to at least include Flash support internally.
Question: <nowiki>**********</nowiki>
Is there a recommended way to get the Flash plugin installed and working correctly in a recent version of Firefox???
Step by step instructions should be provided.
<nowiki>********************</nowiki>
It is almost 2015, and software development seems to be going retrograde, with "enhancements" simply crashing existing systems, and causing more problems than are solved. No wonder everyone is just disabling upgrades once they get a working
system. I deeply regret upgrading to Firefox Ver. 34, as it does not run Flash video correctly now.

*** SOLVED *** !!!
I was having strange problems re. Youtube+Flash website.
Turned out to be some hard-coded ip-redirection in my "hosts" file.
I found it by searching and reading all the "youtube" related Mozilla FIrefox support forums. Thanx for this forum, guys. It is a good resource. And I apologize for my cranky, petulant initial comment. It was inappropriate. The error was mine completely.
Problem was an old hard-coded fix that I put into my HOSTS file, on my Windows XP, SP3 machine. Specifically, I had experienced hang issues with a site called "i.ytimg.com", which I believe is the static cache for Google/Youtube stuff. I tracked this error down to failures of security certificates, but confirmed my security cert store was isometric between my machine cluster (they were all the damn same!)
So, I had put two lines in the HOSTS file, to hard-code an IP address so that Google-youtube pages would not hang up waiting for "i.ytimg.com"
Well, of course, Google/Youtube is now using different locations, or akami servers or some damn thing...
The fix just involved removing these two hard-coded lines from my HOSTS file. I just commented the old fix out, and now everything works.
<pre>
# --- two lines added to fix i.ytimg.com hang problem
# 74.125.162.39 static.cache.l.google.com s.ytimg.com
# 74.125.162.39 static.cache.l.google.com i.ytimg.com
</pre>
(The # symbol is used to make a comment in hosts file... )
On Windows XP, XP3, the "hosts" file is typically located in:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
If you are having goofy problems with some youtube/google webpages
not rendering, or generating SSL (bad_certificate) errors, check your
"hosts" file, and ensure no ip redirection has been slotted in there
from a while back.
Hope this helps others...

Help. Cannot update ADOBE. Will not read incoming file.

I can no longer update ADOBE. which I've used for more than a dozen years.
How can it be done?
This is ridiculous.

Ok, let's clarify a few things....
Updating Adobe Reader should work; do you get any errors when trying to update?
You write that you have Reader 11.0; is that 11.0.0? If so, you should update to 11.0.5 in two steps:
download and run the 11.0.4 installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.04/en_US/AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe
download and run the 11.0.5 patch http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.05/misc/AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp
Now to your PDF files you cannot read. You downloaded the files from the Thunderbird email attachments to your local disk. When you double-click on these saved files, do you still get an error message?
Regarding the $39: Adobe does not provide free support for their free products, but these forums act as a free support channel, mostly by fellow users, and sometimes Adobe staff.

Cannot update Creative Cloud desktop Error Code: 204

I have tried for 5 days to update my Creative Cloud desktop manager, but it only gets 2% into update and fails each time. Message says There seems to be a problem with the file download. For troubleshooting tips, please visit our customer support page.(Error code: 204) Get help
The "Get Help" leads me to adobe forums with other people having this problem with no solutions other than 'Chat with an expert' which I've been trying to find on this site. I don't need tutorials, I've quit the CC desktop app several times, restarted the computer several times, the Preferences option under CC desktop is greyed out and can't access.
I can't update any other adobe product until this nuisance of a CC Desktop can get updated.
Any ideas? Untinstall and reinstall? If I uninstall the CC desktop will it magically break some mystical link with all my other CC 2014 programs?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link, Jeff. Even though error code 204 wasn't listed, everything around points to the download being corrupted/stalled/stopped. Was talking with an IT guy here and are exploring our firewall settings and securities. From your link I found the document "Creative Cloud for enterprise - Network Endpoints file" and have forwarded it to our IT dept to review.

Cannot update Audition:CC Desktop Broken ...

This is so frustrating ...
After restarting my Mac the CC Desktop icon located in the desktop Toolbar is no longer visible. According to the Activity Monitor it is running. I went ahead and forced quit and relaunced it. No change. I attempted to uninstall-reinstall. No luck. Can't get it to where it is accessible.
And for some reason the manual Download link for Audition on the CC website is DOA in both Safari and Firefox.
Any idea as to what is going on?
Thanks.

Yeah, really fills you with confidence, doesn't it?
Yeah. Actually this support session was via live chat. It was pretty extended and took over an hour. The adobe tech was helpful. OTOH they failed to pinpoint the source of the original problem. Like I said - I made no changes to the system prior to rebooting.
With this secondary admin account work-around - I need to log off my default admin user account and login to new account in order to manage my apps. It works - but it's not something that I'm thrilled about.
Lastly I was able to remove CC Desktop using the adobe CC Cleaner Tool. When I try to reinstall it - the installer just hangs. Very frustrating.

The only thing that i think of is to find newer drivers from other satellite laptops with similar graphic card.
