How can I synch iCal with iPhone when running Snow Leopard?

I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and I cannot upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion because I have an Intel Core Duo iMac.
I absolutely MUST be able to synch my desktop calendar with my iPhone. This is an essential function for my life - I cannot believe that Apple would make me buy an entirely new computer, just so that my desktop calendar sychs with my iPhone.
Can some please help me figure this out?
Thank you!!

Maybe you might get more response in the MobileMe forum as it sounds like an issue with that to me and I don't use it so am unable to help in that area.
Hope you get it sorted out soon.

  • HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error  "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases

  • TS3992 How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select any

    How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.

    Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes.  Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

  • How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

    how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • How can I sync lightning with iphone calendar?

    how can I sync lightning with iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added the google calendar as they described but I have no idea where to go from here

    To sync with iPhone's calendar (also called iCalendar) you need to use a cloud-based calendar. If you already have lightning, install the Google Provider addon and setup Google Calendar. If you have already done that, go to settings on your iPhone. In the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars area, add your Google account, and turn on Calendar. This will sync your Google Calendar with the iPhone.

  • Hello! How can I restore an iMac 10.6.5 Snow leopard to factory settings?

    Hi! How can I restore a iMac 10.6.5 Snow leopard to factory settings?

    You can reset the password via Single User Mode or you can completely remove the dslocal database and start over.
    If you want to delete the DB and start over (no user data will be deleted), follow these steps:
    1:  Boot the machine into Single User Mode (Hold down Command and S keys on boot up)
    2:  When you get to the command prompt, mount the file system as writable with this command:
         mount -uw /
    3:  Deleting the old Default node...
         rm -R /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default
    4:   Copying Default node template...
         cp -R /System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/Default /var/db/dslocal/nodes/
    5:  Removing Shadow Hash files... (depends on history of machine)
         rm -R /var/db/shadow/hash/
    6:  Removing .AppleSetupDone...
         rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    7:  Reboot the machine with the reboot command
    That will present you with the setup assistance and no users on the machine.  Create a new account on the machine.

    Can I share my CD/DVD drive from my laptop running OS 10.4.11 with my MacPro running Snow Leopard?

    Hi, no idea if this works in 10.4.x, but...
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2009012605560521
    Might have a couple of other ideas if it doesn't.
    Hmmmm, looks like 10.5.2 might be required for that, let me know...

  • Can, and if so, how do you synch iCal with your Google calendar?

    Am trying to synch my iCal information with Google Calendar.  I can find information to get Google info into iCal but not synching iCal information with into Google.

    You can sync to one computer at a time.
    When you sync to another it will delete the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    That would have nothing to do with it it not recognizing the device.

  • Synching iCal with iPhone calendar through iTunes on Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I've seen some threads on in similar matters but none of them related to this problem:
    I can't seem to sync my iPhone's calender and iCal throught iTunes. I CAN'T sync the two using iCloud, because I'm using Mac with Snow Leopard, which doesn't support iCloud.
    I'm using iTunes 11.1.4, and when I go to the info tab on iTunes in order to sync the calenders, there are no options to choose. It simply says: "Your calenders are being synced with your iPhone over the air using iCloud, Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
    I would rather not upgrade my OS unless I must. I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1.4 and iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4.
    Thank you for your help!
    Daniel

    Hi danielshachar!
    It sounds like the settings in your phone may be prompting iTunes to report that your contacts and calendars are being synced through iCloud. Use the information in the following article to adjust this setting so that you can sync your contacts and calendars through iTunes instead:
