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?

  • 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 .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.

  • 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

  • How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

    I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

    aflores48,
    Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
    More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

    Hope this helps,

  • 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.

  • Upgraded Office for Mac 2011 to 14.1.4 and now Outlook will not sync with iCal and Contacts

    I have upgraded my iMac to Microsolf Office 2011 version 14.1.4 and now Outlook will not sync the calender contents and contacts to iCal and Address Book. Prior to the installation of 14.1.4 all worked well. Discovered the problem when I sync'ed my iPad and the addresses and calendar went missing. New entries to the calendar will sync. Help.

    Office is not an Apple product. You are much more likely to find a resultion in the MS forums:

  • Simple question; Mac Server Setup for Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.

    Hi Guys;
    I'm new to the Mac Server world and need a few questions answered.
    I have purchased a new Mac mini Server for hosting File, Web, Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.
    I’m comfortable setting up File and Web Services however I’m a bit uneasy setting up Mail, iCal and Address Book services to be access locally and remotely(via the internet).
    My current setup is;
    Internet connection (Dynamic IP) -> Router -> Mac mini Server.
    I have purchased a domain name (Thornton-net.com) from DynDns.com + a custom DNS service as I can setup my router to update my domain’s IP address automatically.
    I can access File and Web Services remotely (thortnon-net.com) perfectly without any issues via the Port Forwarding feature of the Router.
    If I setup Mail, iCal and Address Book Services -> will Mail, iCal and Address Book clients be able to access these services hosted by the server via Thornton-net.com?
    Message was edited by: Allan.Thornton

    Welcome to the forums.
    For mail services (and specifically for your outbound mail to be accepted by other mail servers) your mail server needs to have a static IP address and matching forward and reverse and MX records, or a tunnel to a static IP (with matching DNS), or you need another mail server where you have an authorized relay. Without that, your mail will be considered a spam engine, and dropped.
    Additionally, your particular tier of service with your ISP (with a static IP) will generally allow server-oriented access and server-oriented network traffic, where a residential or other tier of service (with a dynamic IP addresses) can be firewalled.
    The ISP controls the "high ground" of the network connections here, so you pretty much get to play by their rules and requirements. If they don't offer static IP, then (presuming their T&Cs permit it) you get to tunnel (via IPv6, for instance) to a tunnel broker, and receive your network traffic via that (and with matching DNS) point of presence. That could well be a tunnel for your mail at whichever your DNS provider is here, because you'll have issues with your dynamic address. (You get to sort out if they offer that.)
    Far and away the easiest approach (if you want to host this stuff yourself) is to work with the ISP. They're inherently involved in your network, and they and they alone have full control over your reverse DNS configuration.

  • How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011

    How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011 in outlook?  icloud is turned on, sync is turned on in outlook and in itunes.  Email working fine in outlook, but no contact or calendar information.  Microsoft said it is an Apple issue.  They said icloud is not compatible with Outlook.  I have OS Lion if you need to know that.

  • Signing out, keeping the data of iCal and address book on my mac

    I would like to sign out of iCloud - it doesn´t make too much sense for me right now - without loosing my iCal and address book-data. How can I secure the data on my mac instead of having it on iCloud?

    Open Address Book, choose File>Export>Address Book Archive
    Open iCal, choose File>Export>iCal Archive
    Then you have a copy of each to restore in case of any issues, save them where you can find them.
