Exporting iCal to MacBook Pro

I have an iMac at home and a MacBook Pro that we use while traveling. When I try to export my calendar data from the iMac to the macBook Pro I get duplicate entries for items that had already been in that calendar. I have tried to restore a backed up file but it won't seem to do that on the other computer. Is Mobile me my only option?

Just a guess...
You could try synchronizing each through a third party, such as either a smart phone or a web site, such as Google Calendar...although I'm not sure if there's a problem synchronizing the device or web page with more than one calendar or not.
Or, if you only use iCal on the MBP for traveling, you could abandon iCal and just use Google Calendar synchronized with your iMac and use the web based calendar.

Are you running Snow Leopard or Lion? Your info says Snow Leopard. If it's lion then:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Then you can locate the folders mentioned.

Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers. For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime. They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer. I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong? They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats. Only video.

hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format. The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's. I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software? That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked! I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

Appointment time on iPhone 4 different from iCal on MacBook Pro

The appointments in my iPhone calendar are one hour earlier than the appointments in iCal on my MacBook Pro. Is this a bug in the daylight savings time logic?

May bad. IPhone was set for wrong time zone.

ICal on MacBook Pro will not receive dates from iPhone, but iPhone will receive dates from iCal on MacBook

I recently got a MacBook Pro after having an iPhone and iPad since last year. I have iCloud set up on all devices to share calendar dates. However, when I input an event on iCal on the MacBook everything is fine and the event shows up on my iPhone and iPad calendars, but when I input an appointment on my iPhone, it will not update to the iCal on MacBook.
Help please?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

ICal on macbook pro won't sync iCal events from iPhone 5

I've synced/backed up my iPhone 5 with iTunes within the past hour.
After it finished, I went onto iCal on my macbook pro and saw that it didn't have events my iPhone 5 had.
So then I went to settings and changed the iCloud settings so that it would back up iCal.
But even after that, it took too long to back up and it failed at backing it up.
So I googled how long iCloud takes to back up and realized that the more I had for it to back up, the longer it takes.
Now I'm down to 500-something mb for iCloud to back up. It's still taking a long time.
THEN I googled to see if anyone else has had any problems with syncing iCal.
There was one person who deleted iTunes 11.0.1 and downgraded to the 10 version.
Is there any way for me to sync/backup my iCal on my macbook pro with iCal events from my iPhone 5, vice versa?
(Other than downgrading, if there is one)

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

ICal on MacBook Pro does not sync to other devices

I'm lost ... we have an iMac (10.8.3), a MacBookPro (10.7.5) 3 iPads (1/5.1.1 - 2/6.0.2 - Air/7.0.4) and an iPhone (6.1.3) syncing calendars via iCloud. Everything works great EXCEPT when we enter an event in iCal on the MBP .... it does not sync to the other devices. Entries on all other devices sync fine to all others, but not when they're made in iCal on the MBP, these will only show up on the MBP. I've compared settings of the iMac and the MBP and all seems fine. I'm at a loss and have no idea where to look or what to do to resolve this. Is there anyone here who can point me in the right direction? Thank you very much!
P.S.: not sure whether I should post this in this iCloud community or whether I should post it in an iCal community. Sorry.

Open iCal on your MBP and go to iCal>Preferences>General and make sure the Default Calendar is set to an iCloud calendar and not and On My Mac Calendar. If it is set to an iCloud calendar, try adding any missing events from the calendar on your MBP to the calendar on icloud.com. Once all the MBP events are on the calendar on icloud.com, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck iCal (Calendar), choose Delete from Mac (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check iCal (Calendar) again.
If events added to your MBP still don't sync to iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

Trouble syncing ical on macbook pro, iphone 5, and iCloud

Does anyone know what to do with this message:
The server responded with “412” to operation CalDAVCalendarSplitDualTypeCalendarQueueableOperation.

Strange to reply to my own post but having spent more time reading other sufferers comments I seem to have sorted this out
It is associated with what you have ticked as the calendar when you make the event entry
I changed the ticked calendar from My Mac list to iCloud list and that seems to have done the job, although still having to refresh iCal on MBP to be sure it syncs

ICal in Macbook Pro

How do I delete the table that shows up at the bottom of the monthly iCal in Mac

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check which accounts your calendars are in, only iCloud accounts will sync. (you can use the calendars button in the top left corner of iCal to see which calendars are in which accounts.

Keep losing iCal on MacBook Pro

Since Mountain Lion update, iCal keeps - at what seems to be random, but frequent, times - dropping my calendar accounts and I have to keep entering my name and password in preferences to re-add it. Has anyone else had this problem? It is fine on iPhone 4S and iPad 2... is ONLY on my MBP??

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.

Incomplete iCal sync iPhone 4S OS6.0 & MacBook Pro OS10.6.8

Hello community wisdom,
two weeks ago I switched from my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) to a new iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0). Since then I have an annoying trouble with incomplete syncing of my iCal calendars (MacBook Pro OS10.6.8, iTunes 10.7). I do syncing via USB cable only. Besides iCal no other calendar being used.
When I set up the iPhone 4S initially all iCal calendars, adressbook etc data got transferred to the phone correctly. Two days later sync warned me about several hundreds of calendar conflicts :-( asking me to delete the entries in iCal. I denied and instead let sync replace the complete calendars on the phone by the iCal calendar.
I was good for two more days. Then I realized that not all newly created events are synced correctly. Both events created on the iphone and created on the MacBook Pro were affected.
Shortly after that sync insisted again on hundreds of conflicts. So I did a backup of all my iCal calendars on the MacBook and let the sync do what it wanted. Then I have imported my backups under different names into iCal so I could make a side-by-side comparison. ... as expected hundreds of events past, current and future had been deleted. I am unable to see any systematic behind the deleted entries.
I restored the correct calendars in iCal again and let sync replace the calendars on the iPhone.... well, again, the sync did not go well and the calendars on the iphone are incomplete...
I am at a loss. Any suggestions?

that didnt work. Tried reset sync, didnt help. Tried pasting the command, and i got this response:
There is no (UpgradedbTries) default for the (com.apple.SyncServer) domain.
Defaults have not been changed.

How to import my data(Mail, iCal, iTune songs & apps, etc.) to MacBook Pro?

I used firewire cable to migrate my data from old PBG4 to new MacBook Pro.
But still wonder how I can bring or import
- my old mails from Mail
- iCal schedules
- Address Book cotacts
- iTunes songs & all apps for iPhone
- some Safari/ Firefox bookmark
Thanks much in advance for help!

I understood the location where I could import from or export to. But I was (and am) quite confused to understand possible problems if the importing files are not compatible on two different computers such as G4 and intel-based mac.
Now I'm done importing those data, but not quite sure I did check correct way if those files are compatible. Everything seems fine, though.

How to export my mailboxes from Imac to new Macbook Pro?

I am getting a new Macbook Pro 13" today (not sure if it will ship with Snow Leopard). How can I just move all of my mailbox contents, and maybe bookmarks from Safari and other account information over from my Imac Time Machine backup. A few months ago I used my Time Machine from the Imac to move everything over to the new portable, including PHotos and all documents, etc. Is there a way of picking and choosing during setup assistance just a few things.
The other option is whether I can simply export the contents of my mailbox into a file--two accounts--over to the new computer? Can I do the same with the contents of Iphoto and ITunes?
Thanks
