During sync, msg about a conflict with an iCal event that doesn't exist

When syncing the iPhone to the MBP, I sometimes get a message that says there are conflicts with three iCal events. Two weird things about these events:
1. There's no difference between the events being shown on the iPhone and the MBP. The details of the two so-called versions are identical.
2. None of these events actually exist on my iPhone or MBP's iCal!
They look like events that I created and subsequently deleted... but somehow their ghosts are still haunting iCal somewhere -- though they don't show up in searches.
One thing they all have in common: these non-existent events are/were all recurring events.
Anyone have any ideas how I could delete these events? The only option I currently have is to choose the iPhone version or the MBP version (neither of which actually exists!).

I think the answer you need is this:
You need to tell the "Synch" which 'direction' to copy from - i.e. from .Mac to that computer or from that computer to .Mac.
If, on either computer, you click 'system preferences' ( in the dock) and then .Mac and then Advanced you will see a button to 'reset synch options' and tell the machine to send what it has to .Mac or recall what .Mac has back to the machine.
I have a simpler problem - I want to start a new topic in this forum and can't find a button to do that!

Paid with a credit card that doesn't exist :S

Hello,
I think I have a problem.
When I first started with Itunes I didn't liked the idea of filling in my creditcard nummer.
I just answerd a number like 12345678 now I thought I already had changed the number into my own credit card so I bought a song.
Later I saw that I bought it with the credit card that doesn't exist...
How can I pay my song now?

You could repartition your drive to have a different OS X with the older iTunes there, and the newer iTunes on the existing partition. Back up everything beforehand. See Kappy's advice in this thread. Partitioning my Hard Drive

It makes simple things like deleting a number from my password login extreamly differcult. Please can someone help?!?! Thanks.

Double tap the screen with three fingers to un-zoom.
Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this OFF.

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

your link gave me a good starting place...
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
thanks.

Business Management Error: You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that does not exist. Select another domain logon and try again.

Hello,
Suddenly the working CRM is being stopped for some group of users.
I drilled down to the issue and have checked that the users from Domain in which CRM is installed are having CRM access.
But for other domain user having problem to access CRM.
I tried to add a user from a domain which is not of CRM domain then it gives following error.
"Business Management Error: You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that does not exist. Select another domain logon and try again.
<Message>LookupAccountNameW failed with error</Message> "
The change is made - AD group have upgraded Activer Directory server to 2012 R2
Please help as the Production CRM is not working for other domain user.

We have Activer Directory Structure like below.
One Root Domain says A
and there are multiple child domain like B,C,D etc...
B,C and D are all in same level,they are child of A domain.
There are two way transitive trusts between A and all the child Domain.
But there is no trust in between B and C and so on.
Our CRM server is in B domain and B domain's user can access CRM but users of Domain C,D and so on can not access CRM.

When I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

Suddenly now when I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

Only songs that are physically stored on the iOS device can be deleted with a swipe. Songs that have been listened to, and are in the temporary cache, apparently can not be deleted with a swipe. The easiest way to get rid of these songs is to go to Settings > General > Usage, tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list), swipe across "all music" then tap the delete button. This will delete ALL music on the device.
Also, iCloud and iTunes Match are not the same service.

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore. When chose for secret question brth date seems wrong. Can't reach anyone!!!

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

Sync not work (exim conflicts with exim)

Hi,
i have change the default MTA exim with "Postfix".
first:
#pacman -R exim
after:
#pacman -S postfix
and work fine but now:
# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
current.db.tar.gz [#################################] 100% | 29K
unofficial.db.tar.gz [#################################] 100% | 45K
:: libidl-0.6.8-2: local version is newer
error: exim conflicts with exim
:: Above packages will be skipped. To manually upgrade use 'pacman -S <pkg>'
Any idea.

I have remove all file of exim but the error it continues.

Cannot install xorg Get error about a conflict with e2fsprogs?

IIRC, I got this error message:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
And this message, too:
cryptsetup: requires e2fsprogs
I'm stuck.
Looks like I'm gonna reformat again!

not really, just do pacman -Syu
Fixed it, for some reason, pacman didn't do a full update. Was wondering why I didn't see much being updated.
Syu did the trick.

Syncing the iPhone's calendar with my iCal. (Different of the other issues)

I tried many different things and I couldn’t sync my iPhone’s calendar in my mac. I don’t know what’s going on.. It was supposed to be easy...
Someone told me to reset the sync history and try this steps (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481), but it still not working! I need the iPhone's calendar information on my iCal. That's the most important thing now..
Any suggestions on how to resolve? Tks!

If calendar events are not syncing from the iPhone to iCal on your mac, try Resetting the Sync History as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
Then enable calendar syncing in iTunes and choose the Merge option on the initial sync.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481 provides additional advanced troubleshooting tips that may help, if the issue persists.

IPhone Contacts Breeding Like Cockroaches - Same With Some iCal events

Annoying problem on the iPhone:
If someone calls me and they are not in my iPhone address book, and I choose to create a new contact from the received call log, then every time I sync my iPhone, that newly created contact gets duplicated every time I sync, in other words every sync means a new duplicate is created. The most recent example had 38 copies of it before I noticed it in my iPhone address book. The duplicated, or should I say multiplied contact cards get synced into Address Book on all my Macs. Very strange. Is this a known bug I've missed, or anyone have ideas of how to stop it from happening.
Along the same lines, I have two specific recurring appointments that every time I dock the iPhone, they get duplicated onto the iPhone only, and the duplicates don't show as recurring events, just new one time only midnight events. Weird, huh?
iPhone firmware 1.1.2, iTunes 7.5, Leopard OS X 10.5.1

DSA1 wrote:
The calendar events that keep duplicating, this resolution did not correct. I docked and today's event duplicated itself. It may have something to do with the alarm being recirculated...ie., I hit remind me again in 30 minutes and then sync the phone. Would that place a duplicate of the event on the phone? I would hope it would just reset the alarm on it as well, but that may be the issue. I've deleted the offending events on every machine including the iPhone and will set them up again and test that out.
Okay, I just ran a test on my recurring events, and this is definitely related to using the remind me later feature. If you select remind me later instead of closing an alarmed event, then iSync places a new copy of the event on the iPhone. An interesting angle to that is the new event has an Alert time 8 hours (I'm Pacific Time) later than the Desktop's time.
I'll acknowledge this could be a design limitation of the iPhone's calendar, but it seems more like a bug.
You can duplicate this issue easily by doing the following:
On your computer, create a new recurring event with an alarm time a minute or two in the future, far enough to give you time to sync your iPhone.
Sync your iPhone and make sure the event copied over.
Let the alarm go off on your desktop machine, and then select the repeat in 5 mins option.
Sync your iPhone again.
Now check your iPhone, there will be a new non-recurring copy of the event with an alert time offset to GMT time on the iPhone.
I'm going to send this as a bug report to Apple and hope they see it as such. The iPhone's calendar is a crowded enough view to not need duplicates of events showing up on it.
That answers the calendar portion of this question, but the address book issue is uncertain. This calendar question was asked some time ago, so I'll copy this info into that old unanswered question in case someone else misses this one. Apologies to anyone who might end up reading it twice.

I changed emails. My user ID will not let me get into my phone to do any updates, but the user id is associated with an email address that no longer exists

I changed emails. My user ID will not let me get into my phone to do any updates, but the user id is associated with an email address that no longer exists

What a mess the Apple ID, and associating emails, ID etc has got itself in
I have a new iPad but after 2 days of trying all sorts still can't sync it because it is says it is associated to the other via the iCloud
I can't use my alternate email address to setup a new Apple ID account as it says it's already used or associated, but I haven't knowingly done anything
One message says "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."
I am at a complete loss on what to do
