Events in iCal on Mac Mini don't upload to MobileMe during Sync

I have many iCal events on my Mac Mini, running OSX 10.6.8, that don't sync up to my MobileMe iCal and thus don't sync back down to my MacBook Pro, also running OSX 10.6.8, nor to my iPhone. As a result, I'm not getting notified of events that I should be. This is a real problem when I'm away from home. However, an event I just posted today on my Mac Mini did sync up. What is going on here?

Greetings,
This sounds like a caching issue.
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

Mac mini don't sleep (10.6.1)

I hope that in the 10.6.2, the problem of sleeping will be fine: no matter what I tried, my mac mini don't want to sleep (it works only via the finder).
Note that one of my friend has a rebooting one time systematically after its go out of sleeping.

After the hefty Mac OSX 10.6.3 update from yesterday, my mini still suffers from insomnia.
Everything remains the same: screen will turn dark, but mini never self sleeps, power light remains bright (not pulsing) - vs - sleep via the Apple menu works.
The other issue that visibly remains for me is that the mini always shows airport as 100% or 3 bars / curves even though it is only at one, as it is correctly shown in the join networks window.
As far as contacting Apple, I hope everybody files a bug report via Apple Feedback (again):

TouchScreen Monitor + mac mini = don't work

There is a big monitor with TouchScreen. It works fine connected via USB with any computer with Windows XP or Windows 7. But it doesn't work with mac mini. What I have to do to force it to work normally?

I use USB wire which was together with monitor. Any other computer with Windows works fine with this USB wire. Anybody knows why mac mini doesn't work?
When you say it does not work, what do you mean? Do you mean no video appears? If so you need to connec tthe monitor to the Mac via VGA, or DVI, or HDMI, or Displayport, etc.
If however you are referring to the fact it does display an image but the Touch screen capability does not work, then this is almost certainly because your Mac does not (at this point) have the right software drivers installed to enable this capability. The reason the Windows computers work is either because they already have the drivers installed or because Windows has automatically downloaded and installed the drivers.
You also don't detail what make and model of monitor you are referring to. It is possible some makes and models can be made to work with the right software (for Mac). However be aware that some makes/models only support limited touch capabilities, for example most HP Touchscreen displays only support two finger touches and not three or more.
In response previously to someone else who wanted to use a HP Touchscreen with a Mac I found this website http://touch-base.com/download.asp which has drivers for various makes and models of touchscreen display.

My Mac Mini don't work with 3d Televisions.

Hello all,
I have a Mac Mini, and recently i buy a television by Sony 3d (46").
For my surprise, the television dont accept the signal from Mac Mini. O then screen appears the message (Signal Incompatible).
I change all configurations, but nothing. I call to Sony and they dont have idea about the problem.
Cam anyone help me?
Best regards,
Marcelo

Assuming your using a new Mac Mini with a HDMI to HDMI and one of the 4 HDMI ports on the Sony, the Mini will only recognise your screen when you either wake from sleep or on a restart. I've used this on a few Sony 3D TV's without any problems. Have you tried using one of the two HDMI's on the left hand side of the screen (HDMI 2 and 3 on the remote)
However, if you're using an old mac mini with the DVI connector, some of the convertor cables don't work, so it's worth checking that first.

Is my 2007 mac mini done for?

My parents have a 2007 mac mini that is getting the folder and question mark, and I've tried to open startup manager but no volumes appear.
Is it safe to say the HDD inside of it dead?

Do they have a backup...?
If you have the Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD that was used to upgrade the Mini to 10.6, pop in the DVD and startup from it. Then navigate to Utilities > Disk Utility to see if you can find and make repairs to the startup volume. If you can not repair the startup volume and do not have a backup, check to see if you can copy the hard disc image to an external hard drive, then try erasing and reinstalling OS X.
If you only have the original Tiger disc set, pop in disc 1 and navigate to Utilities > Disk Utility. At this point you will not be able to repair the Snow Leopard startup volume with the Tiger Disk Utility, but if you can see the volume you might be able to copy it to an external hard drive before erasing and reinstalling OS X 10.4..

Mac Mini don't install server update after yosemite

I've updated the OS X on my mac mini with OS X server to Yosemite, and from this on I can't install the server update 3.2.2. So, I was forced to buy the OS X Server 4.0, even though I wasn't informed about this. I bought the Mac Mini with OS X Server on March for my company, and it took less than one year for me to spend more money with something I had already bought, without being informed. So, I want to know if this is the right procedure or if I can have my money back, as I've bought 7 months ago.

You have the following options:
1.) Restore an old backup back to Mavericks with your server working, then upgrade to version 3.2.2
2.) Purchase Yosemite Server version 4.0 to upgrade your server data to 4.0
3.) Wait for Apple to offer you a different solution.
I do not recommend option #3 as it is assured that you will wait FOREVER.

Sync Ical. Mac mini+Macbook pro

I am looking for a simple efficient way to constantly/automatically sync data from my mac mini to my macbook pro.
Thanks.

Since all the heavy lifting has been completed with the
file transfers, I would consider doing all the syncing
via wireless network if you have one. If not, you can
set up the Mini to create a wireless network and just
connect the MBPR to it (the reverse would work as
well).
If for some reason you really want to do a wired connection,
then you would have to boot one or the other into target disk
mode and then connect them via TB or FW.
For file syncing, there are a variety of apps out there to
accomplish that. You just need to set up file sharing
on both Macs and select the folders to share.

My Mac mini 2012 started making whistling sounds during download after upgrading to Maverick.

anyone have a similar problem?
and some messages in terminal??
27.10.13 8:24:41,406 Finder[186]: FIXME: IOUnserialize has detected a string that is not valid UTF-8, "y".

Personally, I feel that it is the new OS. I downloaded memory clean (since I had lion), and no matter what I am now always running less that 1GB of RAM (8GB currently on board). Every time I switch between text (websites and documents), to video. I always find that when I switch between them, it takes at least 20 seconds for the video to play (and after I click it, I start to hear my fan blow like never before). Even tonight when I tried to play a video off an external hard drive, it took over 30 seconds to load...and when it did, it responded by the hard drive disconnecting (with the fan). And I think it was the worst update for the mac mini...at least.
But I do feel if your fan is blowing more than normal, it due to the update. But if it’s blowing. But sounding weird...there maybe a hardware issue with it.

Mac mini internal hard drive not recognised during internet recovery

mac mini 2.3GHz OS X Lion
I turned on my comp and got the folder with the question mark. Went into recovery and am not able to do any of the proceedures. I can see something in the disk utility, but it is not mounted. I was able to recover an old internal drive connected with a SATA wire, but not what I was looking to do. Have had this less than 2 months. I wish apple had better steps to follow for recovery. Just want it to function the way it was bought. Any help is appreciated. First time posting!

Sounds like either a failed Hard Drive or other Hardware problem.
Contact Apple or your local AASP and make an appointment to have it looked at.

Mac Mini Intel Snow leopard often dies during sleep. What to do next?

During sleep the screen goes blank on a light grey color and I can only shut down using the power button. I am using an apple blue tooth keyboard and a logitech USB remote mouse. I have run Disk Repair w Utilities and also the MUG has tried Disk Warrior but problem persists. The Mac Mini is about 3 years old. It occasionally also crashes in Safari or Word. Please advise. Am worried about losing files, but so far so good.

I assume you have a current backup, so I would start by erasing the drive and reinstalling OS X.
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Upon completion quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X. When completed you can restore your data from the backup.

Older Events in iCal on Mac but not in Mobile Devices

iCal on my Mac has appointments dating back to 2006, while iCal in the cloud and on my iPad and iPhone has appointments only as far back as last year 2011. iCloud is working fine, i.e., everything synchs up quickly and easily as it's supposed to. I'd just like to get the additional five years worth of data on to my mobile devices. How do I do that without screwing everything up?? Thanks in advance!

Called Apple fast track support and problem is resolved. User error, for some reason I had selected the wrong calendar - after selecting the proper calendar on the left sidebar I could create events. Apparently at some time I created a 'todo' mailbox. It had nothing in it and I ended up deleting it so it doesn't get selected again in error.
Took 15 minutes to connect with an ICAL specialist. Once connected received excellent support.

Duplicated events on iCal after .mac sync

Thre facts:
I have a TREO600, a desktop mac, and a powerbook, both running Tiger 10.4.4.
Due to some other problems with syncing the TREO, I have purchased the Missing Sync from MarkSpace, and that works very well to sync the palm with the desktop.
I started syncing my two computers with .mac lately, and I have nothing but trouble. Nearly every sync throws up some conflicts, often about events that have long passed. I went through the long list of conflicts EVERY time this happens, but iSync seems to complain about new conflict nearly everytime I sync.
Moreover, it seems to duplicate certain (but not all) events on my iCal after it has synced with .mac.
This is super annoying. I have seen that there are many different posts on duplication already, but none of them seem to match my problem, though there definetly seems to be a general problem with iSync not being very good at checking for duplicates.
Any ideas how to solve this?
thanks,
marc

Because you are running the Missing Sync for Palm OS in a Mac OS X 10.4 or later environment, the synchronization of your data is a separate process controlled by .Mac Sync. In order to correct the issue, you should perform a reset, replacing all of the records on .Mac with the records from iCal and the Address Book, which should, incidently, be contemporaneous with your Treo 600 smartphone.
To do that, launch System Preferences and select the .Mac pane. Press the Advanced tab, then the Reset Sync Data… button in the lower left corner of the dialog box. Reserve the default directional data transfer from .Mac to your machine by pressing the right-facing arrow beneath the .Mac icon. This will shift directional flow so that data moves from your computer to the .Mac servers. You can keep the Replace: All Sync Data value in the drop-down menu above, or choose to synchronize only one data type [Calendars or Contacts] by selecting the appropriate value. If you synchronize them separately, you must repeat this process for the other data type.
This event will transfer a complete set of records from iCal and the Address Book to the appropriate storage locations on the .Mac servers, replacing the non-matching data currently stored there. It will not affect your continued use of the Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks menu, and will not change the data stored on your handheld the next time you synchronize.

How to delete events in iCal on Mac, but not from iPhone

Hi everyone,
I have a reminder set to my phone for something everyday which is great because it's the first thing I look at in the morning. But I don't want this event plastered all over my iCal on my computer as it's unnecessary to see it there. But of course, since I sync my iPhone with this computer, it always ends up there too.
Is there a way to sync only certain events, but not all of them? Sometimes I want to do the opposite, where I need to see a reminder on my computer for work, but don't need it popping up on my phone.
Thanks for any help you can give!

use the following article to delete an icloud calendar event:
