ICal 2.0.5 and iOS 4.1 vs. MobileMe

I have a PPC iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11 and utilizing iCal 2.0.5. These are the latest versions of the respective software that this computer can run. I recently paid for a family MobileMe account in the hopes of coordinating my calendars and contacts across several devices (PPC iMac G5, iPhone 3GS, new 27" Intel iMac (Leopard), and an iPad.
When I originally tried to connect the iPad to the PPC iMac, I got an error message saying the software was not current enough to support the iPad. I went over to the kids' computer, the Intel iMac, and set up the MobileMe and iPad there. I came back to the PPC iMac and activated .Mac syncing, expecting iCal on the PPC iMac to transfer everything to MobileMe.
The contacts transferred fine, but the calendars did not. My PPC iCal had different data than MobileMe and my iPhone 3GS. I read a couple of Apple support articles, backed up my phone and iCal, and reset sync data (calendars and contacts only) from the PPC iMac to .Mac, ostensibly MobileMe. Again, some of the calendar data transferred but all did not. At that point, I went back to iCal and unchecked "sync with .Mac" because I need the PPC iMac and iPhone 3GS data to conform.
The big questions are:
Will the older version of iCal (2.0.5) successfully update MobileMe? If so, how do I set that up? If not, tell my husband we need to buy a new computer.
Is there any way currently to accurately synchronize my data between the PPC iMac, the iPhone 3GS, the iPad, and MobileMe?
I fear the old PPC iMac needs to go.
Thanks for reading this far,
LZRandall

ICal on OSX Mavericks and iOS 7

I have upgraded my MacBookPro to OSX Mavericks and my iCal calendars no more syncronize between my iPhone iOS7 and the Mac.
Where do I set up how the calendars are being syncronized, on the iPhone or on the Mac ? I'm confused...

Sorry to tell you both that there are so far no easy answers.
I am like you not a Mac expert and so far even the experts have not been any help.
You could try joining the discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5460803 but be aware that there are some unhelpful people throwing insults around at each other.
If you want to try the OS X Server option http://www.macworld.com/article/2061183/itunes-ios-syncing-gone-solve-it-with-se rver-.html is a good explanation of how to implement this. I've not tried it because I have read that even that solution presents a few problems, such as not reproducing old calendars.
As things stand my best advice, for what is worth is to send feedback to Apple

Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in. There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

Sync iCal: MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone5?

How do I sync my iCal across these devices? I am on iCloud and I thought they would sync automatically. Very frustrating!

Hi mebjk,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It appears that iCloud is not syncing your iCloud calendar between your Mac and iOS devices.
I know it can be frustrating when features don't work as expected, and I have a few articles to share that can help.
First, make sure you're signed in to iCloud on your devices, and the calendar syncing feature is turned on. You can find some helpful steps regarding iCloud setup at this links:
iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
If iCloud is set up on your devices, but the calendar is not sycning, you can find many good troubleshooting tips at this article:

All the best,
Jeremy

ICal Shared Not Appearing on iOS Devices But Do In Macs' iCals

I am running Mountain Lion, but this issue was also happening in Lion. As a former Apple Specialist who specialized in iCloud, I've stumped myself and several AppleCare reps. They have forwarded this on to the engineers.
I have three calendars that I share from iCal to my family's iOS devices and Macs. The calendars are updating fine on all Macs, but are not updating on any iOS devices. They used to update slower, but it's gone to nothing.
I've tried everything under the sun including:
1. Turning iCloud on and off on each device AND on my Mac.
2. Restoring the iPhones as new phones
3. Exporting the calendar, importing it as a new calender and sharing it. Still doesn't update after the initial setup.
4. Quitting the Calendar on the iOS device and reopening it and restarting the iPhone.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I've totally stumped Apple. And remember Steve said, "It just works." It's not.

Colleen,
Considering your expertise, and all the resources you have accessed, I am hesitant to offer suggestions.
If you have not used iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar, I have often found it to be helpful.

I somehow erased everything (all important dates) off my ical on my mac and I'm afraid that if I connect my iphone that it will do the same there. Will my iphone sync the dates that are on the phone and add them to the ical? Or will it delete everything

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

Hi, sixfinger.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device. Once this is done test to see if the Mail app functions correctly.

How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?
This is needed for the app im working on. Need some user input via keypad as well as scanner input via a paired bluetooth scanner.

You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

Docs in Cloud Not syncing between OS (10.8.2) and iOS (6)

I am running all of the most recent software available for both OS and iOS (including the iWork software on each). For about a week not, my docs have not been syncing. I will open something on my iPad/iPhone, take notes for a couple hours in class. Then, when I go to add notes on my Mac next week, last weeks notes are not there.
What I have done:
Connected iPad and iPhone to power and wifi numerous nighst since the first note-taking.
Had my Mac connected to power and wifi numerous times since the first note-taking.
Restarted all devices.
Any other tips? I need this stuff to sync if I am going to have all of my notes in one place before finals—the timing of my issues with iCloud make me wonder if the cosmos (or Apple) has a sense of humor.
Thanks in Advance!

I am not sure this is a Pages question but an iCloud question. You could ask in the iCloud forum about the syncing problems

How do I share windows and iOS on my MAC book pro

how do i share windows and iOS on the same hard disk on my MAC? will each of the operating system see the whole disk?

Either you don't understand or misuse just what iOS is, it is only found on iPad, iPhone, iPod and does not run on Macs in any way, and as far as we here the only operating system of interest is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or above.
There are forums for iPad and if you have a notebook then you want MacBook Pro forum.
As for Windows, there is a forum for "Boot Camp" to set aside and use part of your hard drive for Windows to run natively.

Selective use of iCloud with multiple laptops, multiple iPods and iOS devices?

I haven't brought my MBP13 to Lion yet. I do have an MBA that runs Lion.   I have hesitated to take the MBP to Lion and set up iCloud because I just don't understand what the options are for selective "sync" of various sorts of data among one or more Macs, their iPods and iOS devices.   The material I can find so far does not in any way make it clear to me in advance what sort of selectivity will be offered if I turn on iCloud.
Aside from that my DSL connection does not offer a stellar download rate, and I live in a dead zone for cellular signals, so I do not operate in an "always on" state.   I turn on my laptop's WiFi or plug in an ethernet cable a few times a day and similarly might turn on a mobile device a few times.   Past that, I'm offline. I've lived like that with my Apple gear for 30 years and that's just how it is for people in rural areas of the USA.
All or most of my so-called "syncs" are the manual sort. I pick out what info I want on any device and drag it there after connecting the devices. If something I want on a mobile device can't be dragged there, or the alternative dread "sync" doesn't offer enough selectivity, I just settle for not having whatever that item is on whatever that device is, assuming I can't figure out a way to hammer the system into letting me get it on there (like temporarily adding movies to my main library from a separate library and external drive, then drag to the iPad, then eject the iPad and delete the movie listings from the main library to reduce the clutter again).
So.    I don't keep ALL of my various types of data (mail, music, movies, notes, PDF files, app data) on ANY of my devices. I couldn't make them fit, and I wouldn't want them all on everything anyway.    I don't always even keep any mail setups on a particular mobile device. I might have one there for a particular time frame, say over a weekend, and then disable or delete it.   That works fine for me. I shudder to think what would happen if I had an iCloud setup and did that. I have visions of my entire mail setup on one of my laptops being deleted if I delete it from an iOS device...
Beyond unwanted deletion?   Unwanted addition!   The last thing on earth I would ever want to do is set up iCloud and then find out that it wants to stash hundreds of GB of movies, hundreds of PDFs, thousands of music tracks, etc., on, say, my original iPhone that I still use as a WiFi device and occasionally add a few tracks of music to, or change up its playlists. Not to mention what would happen if it tried to stash all my stuff on some unsuspecting little iPod touch used just for audiobooks.
I am afraid that iCloud will work like the dread "transfer purchases" thing works now. The "transfer purchases" doesn't let me say WHAT purchases to transfer.   There's no way I want a movie I have managed to take from a secondary iTunes library onto an iPad transferred "back" to my iPhone or my MBA or to ANYTHING just because I turn some device I own in order to check the weather.   Maybe I never purchased that movie on the iPad. Just because it's not on the main library any more doesn't mean I want it to be there, either.
So how can find out ahead of time how iCloud is going to work for someone with lots of different types of data on several laptops where all the so-called "syncs" at present are as manual as I have been able to make them?
Or can someone just tell me hey you know what, iCloud is not designed for you, just don't go there.
Either way I'll be grateful for some help here. Sure I can clone my laptops and then back up all the iOS devices and copy those backups to externals, and then turn on iCloud and hammer on my stuff for two days to see what happens. But why should i do that if someone can say up front that iCloud is or is not set up for highly selective sync options?

iCloud does not sync movies or general files, so that problem doesn't arise.
iCloud will:
Sync Calendars
SyncSafari Bookmarks (though not display them on the iCloud website)
Sync Contacts
Sync photos added to or taken on one device onto other devices
Access @me.com email
Sync iWork documents only between your Mac and iOS5 devices - automatically from iOS devices by by dragging individual documents from a Mac to the iCloud website (and the cannot be re-downloaded until they have been edited on an iOS device)
Each of these can be turned on or off on each device; you cannot selectively sync within one data type - i.e. it's all or no Contacts, not a selection, and so on.
