Difference between syncing iCal with .me Calendar and publishing my iCal

Hi everyone,
This is probably kind of simple for most, but I'm actually just learning about iCal and how I can centralize my calendars in iCal on Calendar at .mac (or .me I guess). The Help section doesn't really address the confusion I have. So thanks for any insight you can share.
1. What is the difference between syncing my iCal with Calendar and publishing my iCal to .me?
2. I just added a new event to iCal. Then I clicked on a sync button (via the sidebar of my local iDisk). But when I checked Calendar, that new event wasn't there. Does anyone know why and then what to do to make it appear?
3. When/If I add a new event while I'm at Calendar, how do I make sure it appears on my iCal? Do I follow the same local iDisk sync routine?
4. Can my 2 friends and I log on to my account at the same time to view my Calendar while we're all on our laptops.
Thanks a lot you guys.

Ok, I wonder if you could help me with a similar but different problem. I have been using iCal now for awhile but only recently started using Google Calendars (once I found out they could both be synced together). Anyway, I understand how to set up the sync, it's very simple especially following the link that you already provided. But, I have three calendars for personal, school, and work already in iCal that are in the default group that iCal starts with of "calendars".
Anyway, when you create a new account in iCal to set up the syncing, it creates a whole new calendar group. I had never had an "account" before, so all my three main calendars are separate from this new account. Is there anyway to move or duplicate those calendars into my new calendar group so that I can have one flowing set of synced information between google and iCal without manually retyping all of the information myself? I have tried dragging the calendars down into the other group and all you can do is reorder them within the group they're already in. Even a duplication would work, if that is possible (to duplicate a whole calendar).
Any insight from anyone would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks a ton,
Zac

  • Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
    when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
    all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

    GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
    Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

  • Differences between Internal table with Occurs 0 and Field-Groups?

    Is there really any difference between just using an internal table with an OCCURS 0 statement-- which would write the entire table to paging space-- and using field-groups? How is Field-Groups is more effective than Internal tables with occurs 0 when it comes to performance?
    Could anybody please give some information regarding above question?
    Thanks,
    Surya.

    hi,
    occurs 0 means it wont create any extra memory. based on the records only the memory is allocated to internal tables at run time. but when an internal table is created it can hold data of type to which it is declared.
    i.e data: itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
    can take data only from mara table
    we can also do in another way as using types keyword we can declare a standard structure and create a internal table of that type. its also not that useful as we have to change the structure depending on changes for storing data.
    for this purpose field symbols are used. field symbols can hold any data means that they can point to tables, fields, any standard or user-defined types. field symbols actually points to respective types by which we can directly access to that types using field symbols.
    filed symbols works more faster than internal tables.
    if helpful reward some points.
    with regards,

  • Quality difference between picture taken with iPhone 4 and 4S when sent to iPad?

    Is there quality difference in picture if it's taken with iPhone 4 and sent to iPad via iMessage or if it's taken with iPhone 4S? Or does the software compress the images so that it doesn't matter if the 4S has better camera because both will be compressed to equally small file size?
    At least video quality is compressed so badly when sent via iMessage that it's unwatchable in iPad. Picture quality seems "ok" when sent from my iPhone 4, but I'm thining if 4S would be able to send images in better quality.

    Yes, but iMessage will always "optimize" videos (= make the file size small and quality bad), does it make the same process for images too? If it does, then the slightly better camera doesn't matter because both will be compressed to same low quality file.

  • What is the difference between contract-free(with full price) and unlocked

    that really confuses me

    In the U.S., carriers generally heavily subsidize the price of the phone. In return for selling you a phone at a loss, you agree to stay on service with them for a set period of time (generally 2 years). If you terminate service before that, you pay a hefty fee. Contract free means that the carrier is not subsidizing the price of the phone (taking a loss on it) so you, the customer are not required to sign a contract. You can cancel at any time. However, the phone is more expensive. If the phone is sold to you by a carrier, it will be locked to that carrier. Unlocking is subject to the carrier's policies.
    Unlocked phones as sold by Apple are also contract free. You can only buy an unlocked (never locked to a carrier phone) from Apple.

  • Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use.  Any suggestions?

    Have a thunderbolt and MacBook.  Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar.  Any suggestions?

    I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
    Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
    Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

    I believe information about the terms mentioned are well explained in the document link shared by Suntrupth so I won't explain all of them. But one thing that I believe is requiring a little clarity and that's the use of the term LGWR with the SYNCH and ASYNCH. The usual understanding is it's the LGWR that sends the message to the LNS which further would forward the change vectors to the standby site. But actually its always the LNS that reads the change vectors directly from the log buffer.That's the reason that 11g docs no longer mentions the keyword LGWR along with the SYNC and ASYNC.

  • When syncing with Google Calendar invitees added to iCal events wont work

    I'm using Spanning Sync to sync my iCal with Google Calendar (which
    then syncs with the iPhone app Pocket Informant).
    It may be a coincidence, but when I started using Spanning Sync, I
    found that when I create a new iCal event and include someone in the
    "invitees" field, that person then gets an error message when they attempt
    to add the event to their iCal by clicking on the .ics attachment in the notification email ("iCal cant read this calendar file. No
    events were added to your iCal Calendar").
    When I add one of my own email addresses to the invitees field, the ics attachment works okay for me.
    Is this related to the Google Calendar syncing or some other problem?

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I am guessing you setup the http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html
    Please keep in mind that this service is still in Beta. So you may find that certain features do and do not work as you are experiencing. You may find some additional settings options for google calendars at

  • What is the difference between sales order with picking and without picking

    hi friends,
    i would like to know what is the difference between sales order with picking and without picking.
    thanks
    skrishnan

    Hello,
    Picking refers to preparing the right quantity and quality of goods for shipping on schedule as required by the customer.
    Once picking is configured, SAP Sd automatically generates picking lists and picking labels which can be tagged to the relevant goods. SAP can be configured to ensure that picked quantity is confirmed before goods are issued. This can be done using transaction code VSTK. In T-code VSTK, picking confirmations can be set, which ensure that goods picked for delivery are in accordance with picking slips.
    Picking thus helps in monitoring each item using the picking status. Picking is normally done in SAP SD by a shipping clerk.

    You would need to have enabled iCloud on your MBP. Your question indicated you did not.
    Its serial number is useful for establishing ownership should the MBP be recovered. File a police report.

  • The difference between the upgrades with and without MO?

    I did many upgrades without maintenance optimizer.
    But I did not use maintenance optimizer so far.
    Could you summarize the differences between the upgrades with and without MO?
    Thanks!

    The upgrade is the same, procedure is the same, glitches are the same, tools are the same. The only difference is, that you MUST use maintenance optimizer to confirm the supportpackages in your download basked before you're able to download them.
    Nothing else is changing

  • What is the difference between Ipad Air with code MD787B/A and MD787FD/A??

    Hi - what is the difference between Ipad Air with the code MD787B/A and MD787FD/A ??

    You can see the model number in Settings>General>About>Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). For example MC605B is the model MC605 and B is for the region.
    What country does my device belong to?
