Did you give up on iCal & BB Sync

I've noticed that in the last few days, there has been less and less posting about issues regarding syncing iCal and BB.
Has everyone's issues been resolved or did everyone just give up?
I still are unable to sync and have reverted to carrying around an iPod Touch as my calendar. What a "Smart" phone the BB has become, thanks to the wonderful support from Blackberry. I know that there is Google Sync but there are other issues in dealing with Google Sync.
Message to Blackberry: Just because a phone receives/sends email does not make it a "Smart" phone. If it is not able to provide basics like calendar, it becomes a "Dumb" phone.
The syncing issue is not only for Macs but also on Windows side. Also, wife has BES for work and they are having syncing issues with Storm. So is there a solution? I have not seen any updates.
Please let me know if I'm the only one that can not get this to work.
Thanks.

Hi
I know where you are coming from. Last March I agreed to stay with BT for another 12 months with the agreement that they would give me a discount on my BB. I received the discount (option1 -£19.14 a quarter before vat. This was fine until i received the December bill, when this discount mysteriously disappeared and they knew nothing about it, but they still had my contract until 3/3/10. I called customer in Decemebr asking what had happened, they applied a discount again. Then my March bill arrived and stated i had not paid all my december bill (the discount that was applied). Again, checked my contract ended 3/3/10 so wanted a mac code, i had given up arguing and getting nowhere. Put through only to be told that i was getting a discount (my line rental and BB charges were over £100 a quarter!!) before calls and my BB contract eneded in April not March.
They are totally clueless and don't know what is happening. They screw you, apply discounts and take them away, increase contract time without consent
total complete DRBs
Good luck, but get out while you can, i know I am

You need to have a data connection. Tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then in Settings App make sure Data is ON, or if you want make sure WiFi is ON.

Did anyone ever do wedding invitations in pages if so could you give me some info on how to do this

did anyone ever do wedding invitations in pages if so could you give me some info on how to do this

Why did you pay for Pages 5? Nearly everyone gets it for free and if you have iWork '09 you can upgrade for free, all 3 apps.
For the layout of a Wedding Invitation, either buy a set of templates from the Mac App Store or places like Jumsoft, or look for a Word template you like from the Internet and open that in Pages.
A wedding invitation just consists of text and some graphics on a specified sheet of paper. Usually quality paper you can buy precut and which may be folded to purpose. Just position the text and the graphics where you want on the page, do a few test prints to see if you like it and everything is OK, then reproduce.
If you want to merge names and addresses from either Contacts or a Numbers spreadsheet, I repeat you can not do this in Pages 5.
You need Pages '09. You can buy iWork '09 which has Pages, Numbers and Keynote '09 in it for US$26.99 from Amazon.
Or do it with LibreOffice [free].

ICal not Sync with Palm

Hi
I have just purchased a Palm Tungsten E2. Installed the most recent Palm Desktop 4.2.1 software, via Palm's website and did several hotsync's to make sure it worked . I have managed to add the Palm to iSync and Syncing appeared to work (The iSnyc log states that
10:40:07 Connecting to paullefever,
then
10:40:07 Device "paullefever" connected.
In the iSync drop down box, I have Calenders ticked for both home and work.
However, when I sync, my iCal data had not been transferred, it does not appear on the Palm device.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Dear Michael
Thanks for your comprehensive response on how to fix Palm synching problems. I had already deleted Groups from my Address Book a couple of weeks ago, following advice from a user discussion somewhere, and it did indeed fix the problem I was having with synching with my Palm Treo 600. However, I may still follow your advice and buy the Missing Synch software so my Treo/Apple interface works better (e.g. so I can use Groups again) and can hold off on buying an iPhone a bit longer.
The reason I was revisiting Apple Discussions on this topic just now is that I have come across a weird problem while trying to get FoldersSynchronizer to update my bootable backup disk after my 10.5.x upgrade. The problem is that, after installing Leopard and doing the required things to get Palm synching working again, a symlink with an OS-X-Finder-incompatible name has appeared. (Which FoldersSynchronizer doesn't like, though Unix seems OK with it in Terminal.)
As the link is related both to Palm and iSync, it could conceivably have something to do with the unresolved synching problems you give workarounds for.
As this symlink was presumably created by Apple it should be reported to an appropriate Apple engineer, but I thought I might bounce this discovery off you first because you seem knowledgeable about these issues and may know whom to target at Apple. The offending symlink is
~/Library/Application\ Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/com.apple.Palm:3146679877
(the problem being, of course, the colon).

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

ICal not syncing w/ mobileme

iCal has stopped syncing with Mobileme. When I try to sync I get the error message "Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent data. Confirm that your computer's data is valid, then reset Calendars on MobileMe in System Preferences." I have unchecked Calendars in Syst Prefs, synced, rechecked, and synced and it does not work. How can I resolve this and sync it?

I am having the same problem with iCal not syncing. I have 3 Macs (iMac, Macbook, and G5 Tower) that are all normally synced using MobileMe and 2 iPhones that sync as well, but the computers just stopped syncing the other day. It seems to be an Apple problem but I don't know how to remedy it. I've tried what has worked for some other folks here where you changed the sync to the computer from the mobile me in sys prefs but once the main computer that holds the calendar has a change it messes up the others again. It's becoming very frustrating and I can't seem to get to the proper link on the support pages to get an Apple tech to help. I noticed on the Mobile Me page it says that they did an update the other day that could affect peoples syncing but it says it's now resolved. Not for me, anyone has any thoughts I'd sure appreciate it.

Why does ical not sync to MobileMe?

Since Lion, iCal is syncing only the first 4-5 events after adding the MobileMe Account.
After that, the syncing whell is running endless.
Specs are:
MobileMe:
6 x Calendars, 5 are published and shared with other Mac Users
Shared with other Users:
3 x Calendars
Abonemment:
2 x Calendars (Birthday by system and Calendar week)
Replicate problem:
I erased the entire account from iCal and from MobileMe on the Mac as well. After that I added the Mobile Me Account and the MobileMe Account at iCal. iCal synced all events accuratley but after the creation of further 4-5 events, iCal hangs by a running wheel to sync to Mobile Me. I can create further Events but it doesn't make sense, because the events will not be synced through mobiel me for my other iOS devices like iPohne and iPad.
Events created in iOS via iPhone or iPad will be synced between those devices through MobileMe but iCal doesn't sync.
Who knows help. Remember: I did erase the entire account and set it up new: doesn't help.
Comments?

Hi All
The MobileMe senior advisor resolved my problem! Thanks so much Cxxxx!
Here the instructions:
1. Open Terminal and use this command to copy the Calendars folder from ~/Library to your Desktop:
cp -r ~/Library/Calendars ~/Desktop
2. Open Disk Utility and create a new Disk Image from the Calendars folder on your Desktop by selecting File > New > Disk Image from Folder and then choosing the Calendars folder on your Desktop.
3. Save the new Disk Image to your Desktop as well.
4. Double-click the Calendars.dmg to open it.
5. In the new window that appears choose View > Show Toolbar from the Finder View menu.
6. In the Search field on the Toolbar enter "%" (without quotation marks).
7. Select "Filename contains %" when prompted by the Search pop-up.
8. Make sure the Search location is set to Calendars.
9. Then open the ICS files returned in a text editor such as BBEdit or TextEdit.
10. Locate the SUMMARY field (that's the event name).
11. Note the affected event name(s) in a text editor.
12. Lookup the affected events one by one in iCal. Note the date of the events in the same document that has the name(s).
13. Quit iCal when all the event dates are collected.
14. Go to me.com/calendar
15. Delete all iterations of matched events from me.com/Calendar
Once the problematic events have been deleted, you will then be able to sync to your iCal application without issue. Once syncing has been restored, you can then add back any events that you need to.
Hope that helps!
Life is good again

Since upgrading to Maverick Ical wont sync on ipad and iphone 4

iCal (7.0) wont sync with iPad (7.1) or iPhone (7.1) since upgrading to Maverick (10.9.2). I noticed iTunes (11.1.5) no longer has the 'info' tab I used to go to for settings. How do I sync my Mac, iPad and iPhone with iCal and Address book?

For some of us, the additional problem is that once you give in and go iCloud, no rep will tell you there are iCloud limits on iCal's size, so that if you're calendar is say 10 years old, with 10 events per day, and there's a 25K event limit, it won't work, even if you buy all the storage in the world. Which means that's syncing is OVER.
So far I've tried three alt calendars: Fantastical (rated one of the top iCal alts); Pocket Informant (allegedly capable of superpowers); and Calendars. Not a single one is able to do the one simple task of
1) integrating an ical ics file,
2) placing a calendar program on the desktop and the iPhone
3) keeping them both in sync.
This is really getting to annoy me. Chelsea, a tech support supervisor, offered that if I pay $99/year I can become a developer and get the next beta iTunes which will allegedly offer local syncing. Great.

Trying to get iCal to sync with iCloud on my mac

Hi there, I have a 2009 Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Since upgrading to mavericks, and subsequently Yosemite, I cannot get iCal to sync with the iCloud. All my calenders were sucked onto the cloud, and I can access them via my Iphone 5s and online, but whenever I try to tick the box in iCal to sync with my iCloud account, it crashes iCal.
When I was on Snow leopard, and had a Nokia phone, I used a terminal command to sync my iCal through dropbox, which worked fine, but has obviously migrated with my user account, as with a clean install of Yosemite iCal works fine, until I use Migration assistant to install my User profile.
Is there anyway to reset just iCal without a clean install off the OS?
Thanks in advance

Well, per the Adobe website, After Effects CS6 for Students is only available via a Suite
Creative Suite 6
Or US$999 for the non-Student version of After Effects CS6 alone
Creative Suite 6
Both those options are expensive compared to the Cloud options and give you only outdated - 3 year old - software.
All Cloud plans give you access to 3 independent versions: CS6, CC and CC 2014, so your Cloud options:
There are no Single App Student versions, so your only other Student option is to subscribe to the Cloud Complete Plan for Students and Teachers @ US$19.99/month (requires 12 month commitment - so US$240 all up).
Or Single App After Effects (non-Student) for US$19.99/month - not much point since you can get the full Cloud Student and Teacher version for the same price
Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
Financially, the Full Cloud Student and Teacher option seems to offer the best value for you. Just remember that you're only ever renting the software. You never own it.

ICal not syncing with Palm Tungsten E

I had to reinstall my operating system to the original Tiger. I reinstalled my Palm Desk top and updated it to 4.2. and synced with the Palm. Then I did a combined update to 10.4.6 & iSync 2.2. I added the Palm devise and did the original sync with the isync button. When I went to sync again later as I had added dates on the Palm I used the hot sync on the Palm. The dates did not show up on the iCal. How do I resolve this issue?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Can you describe what you did a little more clearly? I understand that you reinstalled Mac OS X 10.4, the Palm Desktop 4.2.1—revision D, I presume, from a downloadable package obtained from Palm—then synchronized with the Palm Desktop. You then updated to Mac OS X 10.4.6 by applying a Mac OS Update package, and added your Tungsten E to iSync, presumably using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu. Is that correct?
When you first synchronized using iSync 2.2, did you choose the Merge the data in iCal and on your Palm, or did you choose to Replace the data on your Tungsten E?
Following your initial synchronization with iSync 2.2, you added, changed or deleted some events on your Tungsten, correct? And those modified records did not show up in iCal after yet another synchronization event, correct?
The reason that I ask these specific questions is that individuals use such terms as Palm, Palm Desktop, HotSync, iSync button and so on almost interchangeably. By Palm, for example, you could be referring to your device, the Palm Desktop package—including the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—installed on your computer, or simply the Palm Desktop contact and calendaring application alone. Depending upon what you are actually trying to convey, the issues and therefore, the resolution of those issues, can be very different.

ICal stopped syncing my "work" calendar...

Hi Folks, I only have two calendars, work and home. For some reason when I sync my iPhone it will no longer add my "work" calendar stuff to the phone. Under Info in iTunes I DO have it checked but it just won't do it. Any thoughts? Thanks much for reading.

jburnard,
OK, I will give it a try.
What sync method are you using?
Why are you not using Mac OS X 10.4.11?
What version of iTunes are you using?
Can you correlate when "iCal stopped syncing my "work" calendar..." with any system or application changes?
It may also be helpful to follow this procedure: (If you are not using MobileMe)
1. As a first step, I suggest resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
2. After selecting reset sync history with iSync preferences, restart your Mac and try again. Disconnect your iPhone and quit iTunes.
3. At the iCal menu bar, go to File and select Back up iCal.
4. Save the backup on your Desktop.
5. Delete all calendars from iCal so that is it empty. (You must leave at least one empty calendar)
6. At the iCal menu bar, go to File and select Restore iCal - selecting the backup file placed on your Desktop.
7. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone.
8. Check if this resolves the problem.
;~)

Ical not syncing with Mac.

I can't seem to get my ical to sync between my iphone and Mac. I would like to use the restore however, whilst my itunes tells me it backs up to the computer I cannot locate the information. I do not wish to use icloud

Hi Tayfit -
I searched this question and found a solution that worked for me on another forum here. I use OS 10.6.8 on an iMac with Intel Core, and an iPhone 4. I do not wish to use iCloud for syncing either. I had many duplication problems when I attempted to use iCloud, in contacts and in ical, so I deleted for days and dropped the iCloud. My iPhone does seem to sync with iCal on the iMac, but the iMac calendars didn't all sync with the iPhone. I use iTunes to sync. Here is what I did:
In the folder /users/<---YOUR USERNAME--->/Library/Calendars, I deleted "Calendar Cache" and "Calendar Sync Changes" ....
That's all I did. I had tried the terminal reset option listed in the Apple Support questions, but that was to address the screw up post iCloud use, and that didn't fix my issue.
Best of luck. I hope this helps you.

ICal not syncing with iCloud or iPhone

Hi,
I just got a new iPhone today and I am having trouble syncing my iCal to it. Prior to this I did not have an iCloud. I created one on iCloud.com but everything there is blank. The iCal on my laptop is full, but I don't see an option in preferences to sync with iCloud, only something about MobileMe. I don't really understand what I'm suppose to do. I've looked through many different forums about this, but nobody seems to talk about my specific problem. Ideas?
Side question... where is Facetime on the iPhone? I thought it was included, but I can't find it and it's not avilable through the app store.
Thanks!

Greetings,
If you are running OS X 10.6 or earlier on your computer you will want to either:
A. Sync your calendar using the USB cable and NOT use iCloud calendars (as iCloud requires Lion (10.7): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
B. Purchase and install Lion assuming your Mac meets the requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
If you are running 10.7 on your Mac (Check by going to Apple > About this Mac), reply back and we can suggest how to get the calendars on iCloud.
To your side question:
While this isn't the iPhone forum, your profile says you are using an iPhone 3G. FaceTime for iOS is available on iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4 S and iPod touch (4th generation): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
Hope that information sheds some light.

Did you give up on iCal & BB Sync
