DTM for Mac iCal sync issue

Ok download went well. upgrade os went well. first sync went well....until.....I realized that my calendars were all now merged.
Background: in ical I have 4 calendars created: work, home, wife's, gmail. all color coded for ease of understanding.
DTM sees the calendars and their names prior to sync. They are actually still color coded at this time.
Issue: when the calendars sync all calendars "merge" in to one "gmail" calendar and that's all. When I look at the preferences on the BB it now has 6 calendars (none from ical named) one for each email address I have on the bb. ie. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and so on.
Why and how can this be corrected?
I can honestly say that google sync worked WAY better than this piece of crap released.

Desktop manager will only sync the default calendar. If they other events are not entered in to the default calendar they will not sync. They will stay on your device though.
If you want you can "move" them to the default. Then they will sync to ical.
To move them, open the event. hold the alt key down and type the word move. this will bring up a pop up that asks if you want to move the event to your default calendar. The name will pop up in the question.
Choose yes. Then hit the back arrow (the curved arrow) and hit the discard button.
The even is now moved to your default and will sync with your ical.

BB DM for Mac -- Calendar Syncing issues and now no sync at all

I have a Bold 9000. Was beginnning to experience frequent errors with PocketMac so went to BB to look for upgrades. Downloaded new DM for mac -- PocketMac having been eliminated and assuming that BB would not post downloads with major bugs. Installed DM, set up sync. Softward told me there was insufficient memory for my iTunes playlist (already on my phone with PocketMac) but I sync'd anyway (figuring that if I couldn't get music, that was the least of my worries -- should have been my first clue). Sync required me to turn on iSync to convert Entourage calendar entries to iCal (which I do not use, but which BB DM requires). Although Bold, Entourage and iCal were all set to Pacific Time Zone -- calendar entries from Entourage moved 7 hours forward in iCal and on BB. After several hours of attempted fixes, I uninstalled BB DM and attempted to reinstall PocketMac (by retrieving software in my backup files because it is no longer available for free download on BB) only to learn that the uninstall evidently left PocketMac with an inability to recognize my phone. NOw I can't sync at all and I'm left with a screwed up calendar to boot.
What is BB going to do about this mess? Incidentally, my music is still all on the phone (despite deselecting the original playlist on the first sync when the software warned there was insufficient memory) with random duplicates of some of the songs.

I just fixed the 7 hour sync problem. The time zone on my Blackberry was set to Casablanca! Once I changed it to the correct time zone and resynced my calendar everything showed up in the right place.

Bold Sync and Update Issues With DTM For Mac

First problem: I cannot update software on my Bold. Once I click on "Start Update", the process starts, but stops at "Downloading 5... Files". It then stops, and a dialog box with the following message pops up
<Blackberry Desktop Manager could not download the required files. There may be a problem with your network connection or the server is not responding. Please try again later> This is followed by:
< Blackberry Desktop Manager failed to update your Blackberry device>
Second problem: Syncing will not work as well. Upon syncing Calendar (iCal), I get the error message <A sync error has occured. Please retry the sync.>

DTM was latest version (1.0) of DTM for Mac
I had PocketMac, Missing sync and the Beta of DTM for Mac installed. I have tried removing ALL components of these 3 apps, from all libraries and restarted my Mac ~6-7 times, but to no avail. It's getting very frustrating. Can anyone help?
PS I wish RIM would dedicate more resources to making it work between our Macs and our Berries. It's like having a pet that can't get along with your wife, one's gotta go!

Update: I've managed to get around the sync problems, have synced add book and iCal. Haven't tried notes and tasks, am hopeful it will work. However, updates still don't work! It goes to download 600+ files, and then the same error message still appears. Can anyone help? Hopefully someone from RIM!
As well, when un-installing BDTM-Mac, does anyone else get the same problem of getting a dialog box that says that uninstall was unsuccessful and that certain components could not be deleted?
As a sidenote, just to give your (emilianne) idea a shot, I re-installed missing sync and pocket mac, then used app zapper. Seems like I'm more thorough than the app. =\ Now I still get that dialog box from BDTM-Mac installer that says prior versions of syncing software were found. Geez. Previously when I did a manual wipe, didn't have that problem. Oh well... not a BB issue so not important.

DTM for Mac and Tour OS 5.0

I've been using a BB for 12 years but most of that time with DTM for Windows (until I saw the Mac light three years ago). Since the BB DTM, (aside from the fact we Mac folks get very little RIM love), after I updated my Tour to the "official" Verizon OS 5.0.591 I'm having all kinds of Calendar sync problems between iCal and my BB. None of these problems existed with OS 4.7.x so I have to put the blame on OS 5.0 or else the fact that RIM hasn't updated DTM for Mac to work properly with OS 5.0.
1. if I force a sync of all iCal events to the BB everything is fine. But the first time I do a normal sync without forcing the iCal events to override those on the BB, then I get the notification that a bezillion events will be modified in iCal. The modifications always have to do with the sound, alarm, or time of the alarm. I obviously don't let them happen. Additionally, all the notification reminders are stripped from the events on the BB. If force a sync and override everything on the device, then immediately do a normal sync, I should not have any changes on either side.
2. Not actually off-topic but while I'm at it, why do events that show me as BUSY in iCal show up as FREE on the BB?
3. I already know of the issue where I need to have all events reminders in iCal set to "Message" because if I set them to "Message with Sound" the reminder doesn't show up properly on the BB. But why? Isn't this rather basic?
All in all, while the DTM for Mac is at least something, it's still light years behind what Windows has, and these latest problems with the Calendar sync are very frustrating. People wonder why folks move to the inferior iPhone...it's pretty simple...it's always in sync with the Mac...period! Thanks for any light that can be shed on this calendar issue.

The upgraded OS you installed removed the lock icon from the screen, until you set a password on the device, and then the lock icon will return.
Otherwise, have you tried using the top edge left button on the device?

ICal and Office for Mac 2011 Sync Difficulties

I am having the continuing problem with calendar items syncing between my devices and my work calendar.
I start by listing the devices: iPad (1st version), iPhone 4 (not the Siri model), Macbook Pro, and syncing with a PC at the office.
Software involved: Updated mobile software for iPad and iPhone, Max OS X (version 10.7.2), iCal, Office 2011 for Mac and on the work PC Office 2011 with exchange.
Mail/Calendar Settings: work email (1) set up as an IMAP; work e-mail (2) set up as an exchange account (the work emails are different accounts not the same account configured differently, and (3) iCloud. The work e-mails are set up as shared accounts in Office 2011 for Mac and in iCal are shown for the correct settings via e-mail address for updating.
Problem: I make an appointment on my MacBook through iCal then expect it to go to Office 2011 on my Macbook and then update via exchange to the PC at office. Original problem was the dates would be incorrect, or the time would be incorrect (it would be off a day or a copule of hours), or it would keep the date and time correct but change the event title back to NEW EVENT as opposed to the event detail originally put in. I thought all of this would miraculously sync through iCloud but that has not happened (yes I checked to see if all the items were set up to iCloud on all devices). Failing to trust iCloud I attempted to simply sync through iTunes (both hard wired and wirelessly). I can most of the time get it from my Macbook to my devices (not counting the work PC) and from the devices to the Macbook, but now it will not update to the work PC once I get it into Office 2011 for Mac in order to exchange. It shows up on my calendar but not on the office PC, which in some instances will erase the data from the Macbook on exchange and not be anywhere.
I reviewed the settings and there must be something I am missing, but I am stuck. I have been fooling with it so long I think I have a myoptic view and cannot think of where to try next.
Desired Solution: I want to be able to make an appointment on any of my devices to include the Macbook and have them sync across all devices including exchanged with the office PC so I always have my calendar, my office has my calendar and all of them are up to date. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Pages and Numbers are part of Apple's iWorks suite and not Microsoft's Office Suite. If you paid for Pages and Numbers then you can redownload them from your purchases in the App Store. You can also reinstall Microsoft Office 2011 and reactivate with you serial number you received upon purchase.

Ical, sync issues with mac

When I create a new event on my ipod touch the event does not sync back onto the mac's ical app. This is with a good wi fi connection. I have push turned on and I have tried a manual sync via the cable.
HELP?!?
Message was edited by: Nathan Guinle

So, which way are you syncing calendars? Over the air via MobileMe, or by connecting your iPod to your Mac to sync to iCal via iTunes?
If not syncing with MobileMe, try this:
Quit iTunes and disconnect the iPod
Launch your iSync application
From the iSync menu choose Preferences
Click "Reset Sync History"
Launch iTunes and connect the iPod and see if it syncs

Has anyone had any consistent success using DTM for Mac's??????

If you did - share how.
I have read for hours, tried so many things and still no success. Once in a blue moon - maybe.
I love my Storm, but at times when DTM deletes all my info - it may end up in the trash.
I'm looking for a simple straight forward way to get this to work.
All I need to sync is iCal.
If Verizon had the iphone - I would switch in a minute - I bet that would sync without issue.

I also had Missing Sync on my Mac, but I uninstalled it before installing BB DM for Mac. When BB DM 1.0.2 came out, the old DM uninstaller failed, so I used a 3rd party app to uninstall it before installing the update.
I was able to successfully update the BB OS using the first version of DM for Mac.
Nevertheless, I've had extremely frustrating problems. (iCal events duplicated, items created or changed on BB not getting synced, calendar items and memos erased during sync, etc.)
I have BusySync installed so that iCal syncs with Google Calendar. Would that cause a problem? If so, then BB DM for Mac is absolutely unusable for my purposes.
Thanks,
Patrick

Using Outlook 2011 for mac and syncing blackberry very slow

I just bought 2 pcs of Mcabook pro. one for me and second for my cousin. we both have same office usage.i have installed office 2011. i use contacts / events / tasks of outlook and sync it with my blackberry curve. previously i was using Windows OS and i am so much used to it with its easy functionalities. Since last 15 days i have not done any work in my office as all time i am just involved in setting up one or another thing in my Macbook. i am really so much fed up and frustrated that i am thinking of switching back to Windows. i have some current issues like
Airport disconnects automatically anytime. after then i have to restart the system that is the only way. it shows as connected but i dont find my home network or internet. after restarting it works !!! it happens 4-5 times in a day...
Sync with blackberry is very slow. i do have Approx 2500 contacts / 300 tasks and 10-15 events. but it takes approx 10 times more time than i was doing with Windows.
in the blackberry desktop manager there is only one option of syncing i.e. Two way sync. what if i only want to transfer data from Macbook to Blackberry or from Blackberry to Macbook?
data sync is not perfect also. every time some entries goes missing.
i want to use ical for events and tasks.. but i dont find List view for events which is not convinient.
i have my e mails in Outlook 2011 for mac. what if i want to transfer my mail to mail for mac?
i will be obliged if anyone can help and show that my INR 70000.00 * 2 is not wasted... Frustrated Really...

Good luck with that.
You're not going to like this answer, but you should let Exchange be your e-mail system. Move off Gmail to Exchange on-premises or Online.

Does entourage 2008 solve all the new 10.6.3 ical syncing issues?

I am keeping a running list of known issues with entourage and ical after the 'upgrade' from 10.4 to 10.6.3 OS.
I have had two duplicated entourage ical calendars, time shift of events and now lastly, when i went to sync at 11pm last night, entourage calendar was wiped completely blank and will not sync.
my threads i have found, only a partial list:

If you sync ICal and Entourage 2004, you may notice that events that are transferred from Entourage 2004 to ICal have the wrong times. This is a known issue between Snow Leopard and Entourage.

yesterday i noted the at had a duplicate ical calendar from entourage syncs. i posted this:

i spent all day on this matter backing up calendars, trying to reimport, sync etc. at 10:50 pm last night after taking on the task of eliminating and removing duplicates from my entourage/ical calendars i sync my work and my entourage calendar went blank. and as if this hour, 8 hours later, not data in the entourage calendar.
OS 10.6.3 upgraded the combo patch too.
entourage 2004 11.4.0 ver
ical 4.0.2
MY POSTING from yesterday:
duplicate ical calendar was created wheni upgraded fro OS 10.4 to 10.6.3
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2433438&tstart=0

So I run the 10.6.3 Combo updater and the problem is now gone. The password was added to the keychain correctly and I can access my Google calDav calendars.
So the big question would be why the 10.6.3 update failed?

Desktop manager for mac not syncing with calendar

Desktop manager just started to give me a sync error yesterday when syncing the calendar. I receive no error message for the contacts. I use desktop manager for mac. I have never had this issue before. I updated desktop manager yesterday after the sync error but, that did not correct the problem.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the reply yancy.
What error message are you receiving? Are you only synchronizing to Ical or Entourage?
Also have you attempted to forget the device and the re-setup the synchronization?
To forget the device, go into Device>Forget Device. Unplug the BlackBerry, plug it back into the Mac.
I look forward to your reply.

Desktop manager for Mac not syncing with iMac

Tried this earlier in the year and lost all contacts out of my Blackberry Tour. Tried again today and DM for Mac doesn't recognize any of the iCal calendars I have on the iMac and gives me a sync error when trying to sync Addressbook.
Running OS 10.5.8 on iMac; v5.0.0.732 on Tour.

Hey scoopmassad,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Can you clarify what the error message is that you're receiving?
Also what version of BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac are you currently using? To download the latest software go to: www.blackberry.com/desktop
Also have you tried to Forget Device and then re-setup the synchronization with the BlackBerry. Go to Device>Forget Device at the top of BlackBerry Desktop Software.
I look forward to your reply.

ICal syncing issues

Hi - can anyone help me....
I have a Macbook Pro at home, an iMac at my office, and an iPhone in my pocket. I cannot, for the life of me, get the calendars to sync properly. On my laptop I have appointments that do not appear on my iPhone (very frustrating) and sometimes things that I add to my iCal on the iMac don't appear on either the iPhone or the Macbook. Also the reminders are a nightmare. Because I often leave both computers running all the time if a reminder appears on one of the machines it remains there until I am beside that machine to be able to either delay it or cancel it. Therefore this means that further reminders on other devices don't come up and sometimes I miss things I supposed to do.
Two more questions (sorry):
Is it possible to add postponement time options to the drop down that appears when a reminder comes up on the screen. The choices are somewhat limited, they go in nice stages up to two hours, then the next choice is one day! Sometimes I want a reminder in four or eight hours but to do that I need to just keep going in increments of two hours which occasionally leads to the problems referred to above.
Secondly, when a reminder comes up in the iPhone whilst it is being used (i.e. on a call) you have a choice of either close or open appointment. Does close mean that it just closes it from what you are doing or does that mean that it cancels the ongoing reminder? Similarly when you click the other option there seems to be no obvious way postpone the reminder for another few hours.......??
Sorry to be so long-winded
Darren

Outlook for Mac IMAP Account Issues

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me!
I'm having mega-issues with my setting up a new IMAP account I have through 123-reg. I'm on Outlook for Mac 2011 v14.4.8
The story so far:
I set up the account and had it working (after originally being given the incorrect password by tech support, they gave me the right one and it then worked). I've then used the account for about a week with some teething issues like send/receive taking longer than my other IMAP account to load and occasionally having to close and reboot the Outlook for Mac app for it to work. Also the regular error message coming up saying it can't sync and wanting me to re-input my login info.
Now, it just hasn't synced at all since Sunday and in the account settings the dot is the dreaded yellow!
I feel like I've tried everything. Setting i'm using are:
Incoming:
imap.123-reg.co.uk - port is 993
TICKED - Use SSL to connect (Recommended)
Outgoing:
smtp.123-reg.co.uk - port is 465
TICKED - Override Default Port
TICKED - Use SSL to connect (Recommended)
More Options:
Use Incoming Server Info
Any help would be much appreciated - don't really know where else I can go for assistance?!

Hello,
Since the issue also happens on the user's mobility, it can be more than a Entrouge client side issue.
The first thing come to my mind is the nichname cache which still resides on the user's mailbox. Please try clearing it up and see if it works.
Thanks,

Ical sync issue: only one way

I had installed the ios 5 on my iphone and the updates for my macbook pro for icloud they synced up fine. I just added my imac to the mix and I'm having issues with the syncing. If I place an event on my macbook it will push to the other devices (iphone & imac), however the events (old and new) that are on my Imac won't push to the other devices.
The ical on my Imac has been my parent calendar so it has the major events I want to sync.
Im not sure why its just one way? can anybody offer some advice

Fixed it. In case anybody else has this issue or simular. uncheck the calendar option in the icloud prefs, then check it back on. A little to simple.
