ICal and .mac update frequency

I'd like to begin using iCal but would prefer the synching via .mac to be much quicker... 10 minute intervals perhaps.
1.) I've looked but cannot find a clear definition of the setting within SYSTEM PREFERENCES:.Mac:Sync with .Mac "AUTOMATICALLY" means.
Can anyone explain?

Selecting 'Automatically' in the .Mac Sync construct means that your computer will synchronize with .Mac…
• whenever you make a change to a record in iCal, the Address Book or to any other data which you have selected for synchronization
• whenever another Macintosh in your device pool synchronizes with .Mac
• and, in any event, no less frequently than once each hour.
If you want rapid synchronization in response to data entry activity, then choose 'Automatically' for the interval.

All Appstore and Mac updates Fail saying "...could not be verified or may have become corrupt"

Recently my Mac started to become glitchy so I decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall my OSX Mountain Lion. After doing so almost all of my updates fail showing this msg "...could not be verified or may have become corrupt". Not to mention downloading updates take ridiculously long. I have 80mbps down and small updates say they could take up to 2 days. I wanted to try upgrading to the the newest OS however that also has the error msg…not to mention a 4 days estimated download!
any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
and yes I did set my date and time to automatic.

Error when trying to sync iCal and .mac

Hi all
I'm running iCal 2.0.3 on an iBook with 10.4.3. Every time I try to sync iCal via .Mac, I get the following error:
The protocol „/tmp/gs/isync/3rFduE“ could not be copied or moved to „/Users/gs/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/Compat/DotMacPAPIClient/com.apple.DotMacLegacy/Input /37CFD216-92B7-11D8-9634-003065B36BBE.D000.CLOG“.
(Note: The error message was translated from german).
I trashed the iCal prefs, caches, the folder ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/SyncService and ~/Library/iCal to no avail. Sync works perfect on any other of my Macs, it's just this iBook.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Tina

Never mind - had to do a reinstall anyway, now it works.

ICal and .Mac

How come iCal doesn't work with .Mac the way Address Book, Mail, and Bookmarks do? It seems like I should be able to sync my iCal with .Mac and see it on the .Mac website. Instead I have to publish a Calendar and go to a separate link. Not that big of a deal, but it doesn't support colors and it's not as nice as the Address Book or Mail features of .Mac. It doesn't make sense that on the .Mac welcome page I hit the Mail icon to get my webmail, the Address Book icon to get my contacts online, the Bookmark icon to get my Safari Bookmarks online--but when I hit the iCal icon, it goes to an advertisement about iCal.
I understand the need for a link so others can share your Calendar. That's cool. But you should also be able to access your iCal via the .Mac welcome page. And today's appointments should be listed in the welcome page.

shadowbox,
I agree with all of your astute observations, but since this is a user-to-user forum the best we can do is commiserate with you and recommend that you use iCal Feedback.

ICal and .Mac - using the calendar on the Web

I had fondly imagine when I filled out my calendar on my home Mac and published it to .Mac that I could not only view it when I am at work (where I have to use a pc) but also add in calendar info that I have have access to only when I am at work, so that the calendar is complete.
If this is meant to be possible I haven't figured out how -can any one help?
If not possible it does seem to detract quite significantly from what might otherwise be a useful tool. In fact I can't imagine why this ability would not be built in as it seems starkly obvious that if you have access to your calendar over the web, you must want to be be able to edit it over the web?? Or have I missed something?

Why oh why doesn't some enterprising person or company (I'm looking at YOU Apple) please make this work. How many people share this problem? I have a PC at work, my finance has a PC at work, we both use our Mac at home.
If there's a way to share out Outlook calendars with our iCal calendars I swear I'd do a happy dance.

ICAL AND MACS

We have two macs and we use the iCal for our meetings and events. The machines doesn't synchronize from the cloud (web page) and it does the same.
I don't understand why it happens!
Thank you so much and kind regards.

How are you synching your calendars ... through MobileMe? WebDAV? Is your problem that it does synchronise, or that events do not synchronise?

ICal and .Mac sync...arrgh

First...I am newbie to Macs. Trying to sync my iMac and Powerbook using .Mac. How do I get each to show as a registed computer?
Each computer has a .Mac account
imac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

skookum,
There is no need for an additional/separate .Mac account on each computer. Each computer should be registered/signed-in using the same .Mac account.
Additionally, the computers that you use for syncing must have different names.
Use the intructions for "Unregister and re-register the computer under a new name." provided in: iSync: How to troubleshoot sync issues related to .Mac

ICal and .mac are no more synchronizable

I wanted to synchronize my two computers via .mac, but couldn't any more. In the list of the computers to synchronize with .mac not one of them was shown. And the message of .mac is: The configuration could not be read.
Please help me using the synchronisation via .mac

When i connect my apple tv to the iTunes and mace update it write error 40 and not complete

i want know hwo i can solve this problem?

Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
1. Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
2. You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

This is from a tester describing what happens on a Mac:
No the program does not launch properly on the Mac
What happens is this.
I open my applications folder
I open the App Folder and see another folder labeled Program V2.1
I open that folder and see the Program blue icon which click to launch
The folder disappears and the blue Program icon appears in my dock along side other applications looking ready for launching.
This is where the problem starts
If I click on the blue Program icon which is in my dock along side all of my other application icons they all drop off the screen. like the screen resolution changed suddenly or something,
The menu along the top of the screen also moves off the screen . in the same manner
so my desktop which usually has a visible dock at the bottom and a menu bar on the top now doesn't show either of those elements.
I do have a couple of document icons on my desktop , you know text files or what ever they never move
If I now click my mouse anywhere on the screen all of the icons return including the blue Program icon still sitting in by dock, if I click it again same sequence of actions.
I deleted and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Air and got the same result
I also want to mention
The top menu on the mac tells me what application is active, you know "finder" "Open office" "Firefox" what ever is program is running and active shows there
Program has never show up as being active in the top menu so I'm guessing never fully launched

Laggy Published .exe file on Netbook and Mac...

Greetings Fellow Captivate Users,
I am having the issue of when I publish my Captivate 5.5 project to an .exe file and test it on virtually any netbook PC the presentation is laggy/slow...meaning all animations are 1/2-1 second slower than normal and audio responses (audio files triggered by click boxes) and click boxes are slow to respond as well. Also, my published app file for Macs presents the same identical laggy problem as experienced on netbook PCs.
My eLearning project has the following specs:
- running full version of Captivate 5.5
- 190 slides with photos (jpgs - each jpg roughly under 10k) and audio files (see below). Each slide is roughly 3 seconds long and pauses waiting for user interaction "click to continue"
- I tried breaking up the project and making the project smaller with less slides so it is well under the 16,000 recommended amount of frames for Flash movies and this laggy problem still occurs on both netbooks and Macs
- the laggy .exe problem DOES NOT occur on mid-range/modern Laptop PCs or Desktop PCs
- audio files are passive and only triggered via click boxes (triggered after user clicks on picture, click boxes are layered on top of pictures),
- I am saving my Captivate 5.5 files locally on my own computer, as well as all my assets for my projects are saved locally
- I am NOT using a network drive for saving any files or assets
- Quiz Reporting is TURNED OFF in preferences and for all slides, buttons, click boxes, etc.
- I have found no looping occurences/Actions in my projects
- the published .swf file (for viewing the project in a browser) works perfectly on all PCs, netbook PCs, and Macs
UPDATE --- I should also note that I updated the Flash Players on all the Netbooks and Macs that I am testing my project on to the latest Flash Player version: 11.x    and I am still getting laggy/slow presentation issues.
My PC specs:
- Windows 7 SP1
- Intel Core i5 M460 @ 2.53 GHz
- 4GB RAM
- 64 Bit PC
- 248GB Free out of 500GB
If anyone else has experienced this same issue, knows why this is occuring, or can guide me on what settings to possibly change to remedy this issue, I would be grateful. Also, if you need more specs on my project please let me know. Many Thanks!

I have an iMac with 10.9.1 and an iPhone 5 also updated to the newest system and I cannot get a sync set up between Ical and the iPhone or Outlook 2011 mac calendar with the iphone

I have an iMac with 10.9.1 and an iPhone 5 also updated to the newest system and I cannot get a sync set up between Ical and the iPhone or Outlook 2011 mac calendar with the iphone. I would perfer using outlook but will settle for the Imac calendar

It depends on what iMac you have. If it is an old PPC (G4 orG5) iMac then no further upgrades are possible. If it an Intel iMac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

What's a good calendar service to use with iCal on iPhone and mac?

Sometime around iOS 7 and Mavericks updates, my Google calendar stopped playing nice with iCal on my phone. I'm wondering what other people are doing.
I don't know whether it was Google or Apple that caused the issue, and I'm not too fussed either way, I just want to have something that works again.
What does 'not playing nice' mean?
I used to be able to create an appointment, add my wife as an invitee, and it would appear in her iCal.
Now, it appears in her email, but not calendar. Clicking "yes" on the email loads safari instead of iCal. Then there's this whole log in thing. It's annoying.
What I'd like
Three things:
1. I'd like my wife and I to each have a personal calendar. She should have read/write access to her calendar, and read-only to mine (and vice versa).
2. I'd like a share calendar that we can both see and write to. We used this for family events.
3. I'd like to be able to invite my wife to an event, and have that invite appear in iCal both on her phone and her mac.
Everything should of course work well with iCal.
I don't care if it works with Google services, although if there's a way to fix my google calendar so that it works right, I'm open to that.

Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.
