How do I sync MacBook Pro's old iCal calendar with iPhone 4?

I had MobileMe, which as you all know, was not a perfect program. MobileMe left me with duplicates of every Calendar but I am not sure which one to delete of each pair for fear of losing date. But it did sync my iPhone and my iCal on my MacBookPro. So when it was suggested that I move to iCloud, I thought: Great idea. Maybe this program will work better!
Well now I have no syncing between iCal calendar and iPhone iCal calendar.
Does anyone know how to use this thing?
AGH!
Thanks for any help you can shoot my way. Assume idiocy: step 1, step 2, step 3 appreciated and for each device if you know how to fix this!

Contacts and calender you can put on icloud then sync to your new phone when its setup to the icloud account. Not sure so with emails.

  • How can I sync outlook 2007 subfolders, contacts, and calendar to iphone 6

    How do I setup to sync outlook 2007 subfolders, contacts, and calendar to iphone 6?
    Inbox messages will sync but not the sent box from either outlook or iphone.  Also, outlook subfolders are showing up on iphone. 

    Hi,
    you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
    First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
    It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
    If you hit a snag talk back to me.
    Cheers.

    Hi ...
    Helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help.
    If you have Lion v10.7.2 or higher installed, you can setup an iCloud account so that you can sync your Contacts and Calendars between your Macs via Wi-Fi.

  • How to make a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) work properly with a 3M Streaming projector?

    Ok, so I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2009), a 3M Streaming projector and very annoying problem.
    When I connect my MacBook Pro with a Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter to the 3M projector, I get a pink tint, like a filter over the image, it’s very frustrating.
    This are the tests I’ve done:
    1. I tried the adaptor and the projector on a different (more recent) Mac -> It worked fine.
    2. I tried connecting my MacBook Pro to a different not HDMI but VGA projector -> It worked fine.
    3. I used some Terminal code I found on the web to force the Mac to send RGB signal, don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but I tried anyway -> Didn’t work
    So I’m confused, it’s not the physical port of my MacBook cause it worked fine with a VGA projector, It’s no the 3M projector and it’s not the Mini Displayport to HDMI adaptor cause it worked fine on a different Mac.
    So what is it?
    I’m totally desperate, I haven’t been able to solve this problem, so if you guys can help me you will be my heroes.
    Thanks.

    Yes as Clinton says this is correct.
    I've used a Sata to USB connector which is only a few pounds instead of an enclosure for the clone, but then I wasn't keeping mt old HDD. But that's an option if you don't need it.
    I also use Carbon copy cloner as this will clone your recovery partition as well. Apples disk utility will also clone drives but I'm not sure that it copy's the recovery partition.
    I highly redomend my Samsung 840 pro 256Gb - it's about the fastest drive you'll get (nearly) but is backed by Samsung's unrivaled SSD reliability and 5 year warranty. I've also used an 840 basic model on an older macbook and was equally pleased.
    Crucial's drives are reliable mac friendly drives but are somewhat slower on the write speeds vs the 840 Pro.
    I'd avoid OCZ drives due to so many failures across their range although they do have great reviews and some models just edge the Pro on speed although it's fairly negligible.
    As Clinton says, avoid the Samsung Evo drive. I wanted to buy this drive as it is a great drive - but there are many users that have had compatibility issues with it when installed in a Mac. This may rectified on a future firmware update possibly, but until it's proven I would avoid it for now.

  • How to update a MacBook Pro 17 inch mid 2010 with SSD?

    I know that this question probably been asked many times before, but i can't really find the answers to my specific questions.
    I want to update my MacBook Pro 17 inch mid 2010 / 2,66-GHz Intel Core i7-processor, 8 GB memory, running latest Mavericks version (full specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP581?viewlocale=nl_NL) with a SSD (i think a 500GB) to speed up my MacBook Pro.
    I have about 400GB of data, personal and work related (mostly design work) that is really important to me of course. I use 3 harddrives (one offsite) at the moment to backup everything using Time Machine which works great, because i always can fall back on it when i delete something accidentally.
    The physical installation looks quite simple to do, but i have some questions about the entire procedure i hope someone can help me with:
    Which SSD will fit in my Macbook Pro the best (specs)? What to look for?
    And what about TRIM support to make SSD last longer, i heared that Apple default drives that come with the Mac will support TRIM, but what about any other SSDs on the market do support it and if so which ones?
    There are different ways to do install SSD, but what is best procedure?
    Clone HDD to SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner or restore from Time Machine?
    Clean install with Bootable USB flash drive with Mavericks and restore from Time Machine?
    Buy a USB enclosure for SSD and Clone HDD to SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner first and boot it to check and than install the drive?
    Could anybody help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Look here for the maximum memory for each MBP model:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/by_capability/actual-maximum-ram-capacity-of-mac s.html
    The limit is given by the memory controller ("northbridge").
    There are no thermal drawbacks expanding the memory to the maximum supported limit...
    However, as explained, often Apple did specify an "official" maximum RAM amount which is in reality shorter than the real value, simply because, when the machine was launched, memory sticks of the proper size for giving maximum capacity were not available.
    Apple never revises the specs after the launch...
    But this did not happen in your case: the maximum memory for mid-2010 Core machines appears to be effectively just 8 Gb, form the page linked above...
    Final remark: in my experience, the SSD counts much more than memory for speeding up a laptop! As you already have 8 Gb, there is little value to expand to 16Gb even if it was posisble. Better to invest the same money in a  larger SSD...
    I expanded mine because it was equipped with just 4 Gb, and purchasing 16Gb Corsair was costing as 8 Gb Crucial. However, it was not a wise choice, those cheap Corsair memories were bad, the seller had to exchange both sticks...
    If I could come back, it was better to spend more and buy Crucial memory sticks!

  • How do I sync MacBook Pro to my Mac Pro (everything - not just mail, but every single file.

    I can hook my laptop to time machine when I get home, then I can use migration assistant to put exact data on user account on my Mac Pro desktop computer, but that is silly. 10 years ago or more, I just connected the laptop with my desktop computer and it would ask to "sync" up. How do I do this with TODAY'S operating systems.

    I am using my old iPhone for playlist for my Dad's funeral as that meets the crematorium requirements. Some tracks - uploaded from personal CDs to MacBook Pro and successfully transferred to new iPhone (with small doc) won't transfer on syncing.  Most do, but why won't some, of my own music sync when others off the same album and in the same playlist do? I have now checked the storage, freed up 766MB, how can i not sync (and get everything i've just deleted back) but upload the required tunes? All help appreciated, many thanks x x x

  • How to migrate from my old MacBook Pro to a new one with less disk space and an external hard drive?

    I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and an external hard drive.
    Yet I have problems migrating data from my old MacBook Pro (more internal disk space with around 500 GB data) to my new one (internal disk space less than 500 GB). 
    I have connected all 3 devices but it seems the Migration Assistant does not have an option for us to select to migrate to an external hard drive.
    Any other way to do it?
    Kindly help me.  Thanks.

  • How can I connect MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.2 to G3 Lombard (bronze) OSX 10.1.5?

    Can anybody please tell me in simple terms how to connect my MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.2 to my G3 Lombard (bronze keyboard) laptop OS X 10.1.5 so that I can share files. I wish to drag files from the old G3 computer's hard drive into the hard drive of the new MacBook Pro as well as search the old hard drive from the MacBook Pro. I have an ethernet crossover cable as well as regular ethernet cables. Can I connect the computers directly, or should I disconnect my Linksys router from the modem and connect the computers through the router via ethernet?
    I have tried both ways, and failed. However, I think I need clear instructions in how to share under both OS X system versions, to set a file's permissions (in both OS X versions), how to set the firewalls (I have Norton Personal Firewall in the G3 and the OS X firewall in the MacBook Pro), how to see the hard drives of the other computer, and how to set anything else properly, as well as any detail that will make this easy to do properly.
    Finally, I need to be able to return the settings of the MacBook Pro back to secure settings that will allow me to connect safely when I take it to work and connect to the ethernet network there. Thank you for your help.
    Sincerely,
    Wilson

    connect the computers through the router via ethernet
    Both these computers are capable of File Sharing using IP. Only Macs running 10.3.9 and earlier can use AppleTalk File Sharing. Rendezvous/bonjour can help you on the later 10.5 Mac, but may not be too helpful on the 10.1.5 Mac. So you may need the IP address of the 10.1.5 Mac to connect to it.
    On the Mac to share its files:
    System Preferences > Sharing > Services
    check "Personal File Sharing" AND
    System Preferences > Sharing > FireWall
    check "Personal File Sharing" to let that traffic come through.
    I expect it is similar for Norton FireWall, but Norton has such a \[well deserved] rotten reputation, and has pretty much pulled out of the Mac market, so help on this may be hard to come by.
    On the \[10.5.2] Mac that wants to mount the Shared Volumes:
    In the Finder, Go Menu, select "Connect to Server"
    Select your 10.2.5 Mac in the window that opens and click connect. If it is not seen, you can browse for it or specify its IP address.
    You get a login Window. Login using an ID \[from the 10.1.5 Mac] that has Permissions to read and write the files you want to share. The drive(s) or Folder(s) you specified will mount as network Drives on the desktop. Drag and drop files in both directions to your heart's content.
    N.B.: If you choose "Guest", you will have access to the "Shared" folder ONLY.
    You have made no changes or compromises to your 10.5.2 Mac, so no Undo is necessary to take it back to work on Monday.
