ICal 4.04 won't update upgraded MobilMe calendar

Driving me crazy and the help topics just send you into an infinite loop without answering questions.
I am on iCal 4.04 and have upgraded to the latest MobilMe calendar, pre-cursors I have been using for two years. Basically, MobilMe refuses to sync/update when I add items either on my iCal calendar on my Mac or on my iPhone. My main computer calendar is up to date and accurate, but MobilMe is not and neither is my iPhone (3G version running iOS4.2...still very slow too!)
Is there a way I can start from scratch, wipe the calendars off MobilMe and reinstall everything to get it working right out of the gate? Resetting the sync data in Preferences did not work either.
Help please, and thanks in advance.

I too am having the same trouble. I have been having largely trouble free synching between MacBook Pro, I mac, Iphone 3GS & iPad for past 8 weeks. Today when I upgraded to iOS 4.2 on my iPad & iPhone, my main calendar and associated notes have stopped syncing. In addition I have up to 12 copies of some previous calendar items, of which only one is correct & the others in complete (template) versions of the events. This is driving me mad.
Can anyone help get this back on track??

IMovie, IPhoto won't update after Mavericks upgrade from OSX 10.06

Upgraded to Mavericks, iMovie won't update, says, "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." And then I get a null error.
However, I am using the only apple ID I have to sign in to the app store.

You can update for free to version 9.5.1 in the App store

Upgraded to Mavericks, iPhoto won't update

I upgraded to Mavericks but iPhoto won't update. Receive this message: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." I have only had one user name. I can't get into iPhoto and no update will work. Says I have version 9.3.2 of iPhoto even though I updated.

Did that and now there is no update for iPhoto. Go to the iPhoto app and it says accept and I do but then nothing happens. Have I lost all of my photos??

ICal won't update

All of a sudden iCal won't update my previously-published calendars -- which are hosted in my .mac account. I changed nothing; the problem started yesterday, before I had installed the recent updates and patches to QuickTime and the OS. Also, my iDisk is suddenly inaccessible. Is this a server-side problem of some sort?
I have already repaired permissions, restarted, and done all of the usual stuff.

Well, now everything seems to be working, so I suppose it was some kind of server-side issue.

ICal won't update published calendar

I have a published calendar on .Mac and when I update in iCal, it won't update on my .Mac account. Also it shows that the published date is Dec 31, 1969. I have checked my date and time on system preferences. I have deleted and recreated this calendar, and it has not solved the problem. I have even unpublished and published several times, all to no avail. I have iCal 2.0.2 installed. Anyonw else come across this problem?
Thanks.

When you publish, is "Publish changes automatically" checked? This would explain why updates don't happen. Also in .Mac system preferences under the "Sync" tab, there is a choice of how often to sync. Even if this is set to "Automatically" the sync isn't instant. Check this setting. I don't know if it affects published calendars or not, but worth checking nonetheless.
I wonder if in the Date and Time system preference ("Date & Time" tab) you have "Set date & time automatically" Checked?
Mine publish fine, no problem: http://ical.mac.com/dancingbrook/Social
Still no solution for web To Dos though perhaps via a webDAV server? Try:

Also, can I assume you've tried trashing your ical preferences? ~/Library/Preerences/com.apple.iCal.plist

I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8 Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?

The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

IPod touch won't update/sync iCal??

I usb it to my Mac, as usual. Shows connected in iTunes, as usual. Does it's typical syncing. But iCal doesn't update on my iPod. What gives?
Tried restoring iPod.
Tried updating iTunes.
Tried restarting Mac.
Still seeing old calendar entries on my iPod, but my Mac's iCal is fine. It'll even take entries FROM my iPod (manually entered into iPod, they'll sync to iCal ok), but changes to iCal going TO iPod isn't happening.
Help!

I had this problem, too and was able to fix it. I have an iPod Touch from 2008.
When I wanted to sync my calendars in iTunes, I had old calendars that no longer existed in that list of "iCal Calendars to Sync.
To fix this, I went to iSync in the Applications folder.
iSync menu > Preferences
At the bottom of this window, you can click a button to "Reset Sync History".
Know that I had nothing to lose on my iPod Touch, I clicked it.
Then I went back to iTunes and the iCal sync area. All of the old calendars no longer existed and the sync worked perfectly.
I hope this helps you, too!

Changes in ical won't update my Exchange 2007 server

Firefox won't open after update/upgrade--how do I correct this?WinXP SP3

I got a message saying I should update/upgrade. I did AFTER SETTING RESTORE POINT. After this Firefox will not open (I have tried several ways). I went to restore point and restored. Still will not open. If I can't get it working I will look for another browser. I am now using IE and it is too slow. Thanks for help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Calendar on iphone 4 won't update ical on mac

When I sync my iphone with macbook, all new ical entries from my laptop update on my iphone but new iphone entries don't update on macbook.

How can ical items entered offline be updated on icloud when back online?

My workplace blocks iCloud (and the app store). When I enter or modify ical events they do not update when I am back online at home. Refresh was of no help. I had to edit the items for them to appear on other devices. Is there a way around this?

Here is what I did.
I got a message and forgot I still have til June... so like a fool I switched over online.
All I see is a new type of calendar. OK no biggie it has my data. But now the one on my MBP won't sync... with the phone, and the one on my iPhone was erased totally.. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I managed to reset the mail using the new server settings but that wasn't as important as the CALENDAR!!!
Also I don't DARE upgrade my iPhone (I can't anyway until I do 10.7 on the MBP but I have to make sure PS works on that first) because it has all my contacts and phone numbers, which are NOT the same as my groups of emails on my MBP...
The Contact book and Calendar data from the MBP are OK, they are up on iCloud and also saved as files on my HD in .ics, .icbu, .vfc and .abbu data.
I would upgrade my iPhone but I just don't get why it has to be via iTunes... it is SOOO confusing.

My Apple TV won't update and I can't sign into iTunes

I have the second generation Apple TV which is due an upgrade of software but it won't update. I kept getting a message saying that it wouldn't work. It also won't sign me in to iTunes and Netflix never works. Not sure of this has anything to do with not being able to upgrade. Can someone help?

We had this problem and a restart fixed it.

IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
Any ideas?

Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.

My MacBook Pro that is running on 10.6.8 won't update software so that iTunes connects to my iphone 6. Problem is that when I go to update, it restarts the computer but never updates any of the software.

My MacBook Pro that is running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 won't update software that I need in order to download the newest iTunes software to connect to my iPhone 6. Problem is that when I go to update, it restarts the computer but never updates any of the software.

In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --
When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.
For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.
All other updates have been free and downloadable. So I'm not a 10.6.7.
10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.
10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8
10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.
Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.
After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out.

Macbook Pro 10.5.8 won't allow upgrade of iTunes to sync with iOS 7

Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.5.8, won't allow upgrade of iTunes 11 to link in with iOS 7 iPhone update.
Do I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard operating system? Or Mountain Leopard operating system?
Help please!

You need to upgrade your version of OS X. Whether it is to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mt Lion (Not Mountain Snow Leopard) for the newest iTunes to work with iOS 7 I'm not sure. I don't own an iPhone and if I did I wouldn't be installing iOS 7 on it.
Oh and let me add you must first upgrade your Mac to Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade it to any of the newer version of OS X. Both Lion and Mt Lion are only availble from the Mac App Store which can only be accessed from Snow Leopard 10.6.7, or above 10.6.8, or from both Lion and Mt Lion.
So no matter which newer version of OS X you end up with you'll need to first upgrade to Snow Leopard.
