ICal - Blackberry sync issues

I have had a problem with pocketmac creating duplicate entries in both the blackberry and in iCal when I sync them together. I need to do a two way sync because sometimes I add entries on the BB and sometimes in iCal.
I bought The Missing Sync thinking this would solve my problem, and now it's even worse.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

1. I am having the same problem.
2. I had the MacBook Air which I upgraded from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4.
The sync process with my Blackberry Pearl 2 would take forever, but it would successfully sync.
3. On another MacBook Air with a Blackberry Bold, when the upgrade was made from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4, the sync wouldn't work.
I called both Rim and Apple, and it turns out it's a problem with Apple.
When I downgraded to 10.7.3, the sync worked again.
4. Now my problem is that I just bought a new MacBook Air that comes with 10.7.4 and I'm using it with my Blackberry Pearl 2.
The sync doesn't work.
On my MacBook Air, I only have "home" that contains all my appointments in my calendar which I exported to my desktop, then I deleted the "home" calendar (then I recreated a new calendar also calling it "home") hence making the calendar completely clear.
I also cleared all calendar items off my Blackberry Pearl 2.
I opened up Blackberry Desktop Manager and it shows "Home" "Work" and "Reminder".
Firstly I don't have "Reminder" anywhere within calendar.
Secondly, when I made the sync supposedly from a clear calendar on my MacBook to a clear calendar on my Blackberry Pearl, I should be syncing nothing to nothing from nothing.
BUT appointments were transferred to my blackberry AND my MacBook calendar is still clear.
5. Apple, please fix this.

TS3999 iCloud + iCal + ML sync issues

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a late-2011 13" MBP and upgraded it to ML. I did not have any prior issues with my iPhone/Mac/iPad/Black MacBook syncing together with iCloud, which is why I'm perplexed after countless Google searches and resets with no answers. My iOS devices are still syncing properly. I can access my updated calendar at iCloud.com. Everything works except for iCal on Mac with iCloud. I now have an exclamation point next to iCloud in the calendar along with a phantom Google calendar that is no longer shared. The error message I get is:
The server responded with an error.
The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've attempted signing in and out with different accounts to test, allocate and/or delete files from the Library > Calendar folder, Preferences folder and SyncServices, and also verified disk permissions. I'm re-downloading ML now to try re-installing it. I'm out of ideas.

Hey there!
I apologize for my terminology because it probably wasn't accurate or that clear.
While using your existing Apple ID or iCloud account, open Calendar, then go to File > New Calendar > iCloud. Give it a different name and color than your existing calendar for troubleshooting purposes(you can always delete the old one and rename it and change the colors later). Once the new calendar is created, try creating a new event under it to make sure that it syncs across all of your devices. In my scenario, doing this revealed that the new calendar synced correctly while the old one continued to show an error icon.
As far as migrating the calendars, I think there are two options. Luckily for me I didn't have too many events so I went into each event and edited them at the bottom where it indicates which calendar you want to associate the event with. The other method that I was going to try, but wasn't sure if a corrupted event/setting would carry over to the new calendar if I did, was to export my old calendar to my desktop, then import it back into my new calendar. Theoretically, this should move all of those previously entered events under your new calendar without having to click into each event like I did. Because I've never tried it, I can't speak to whether or not the original error would return. *However, if your Mac Calendar is empty due to syncing issues, the export method won't be of much help as it only exports what is currently visible in that calendar. But if your calendar currently contains all the events you'd like to keep, but it just can't sync anymore, then exporting and importing might work.
If you decide to try the export/import method, it's pretty straightforward. After you create the new calendar, click on the old one and go to File > Export. Save the file to your desktop, then go to File > Import. Choose the file you just saved and select the destination as the NEW calendar you just created. Again, theoretically, it should work.
Good luck!

Address Book / PocketMac / BlackBerry syncing issue

Hi folks:
Wonder if anyone's expertise could help illuminate what's going on with my setup. I had a BlackBerry synced with Outlook on my old PC, which I recently replaced with a new MacBook. I was able to use PocketMac to easily sync my BlackBerry with Address Book and Mail on the new MacBook- or so I thought.
Turns out there are some fields included with contacts in my BlackBerry that do not appear with the corresponding contact entry in Address Book. For instance, a given contact will have four or five phone numbers listed on the BlackBerry, with only two or three on the Address Book. I thought that by syncing the two devices I would get an exact match for the data on each one. Was I wrong?
Any ideas? Any setting I can change, or workarounds I can use to make the information complete on both devices?
Thanks!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6) PocketMac/BlackBerry

When you go through the sync process, do you see any records that the sync recognizes and says it will move to your Mac?
What happens during the sync?

ICal, Blackberry sync, travelling and timezones

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me resolve a travel issue I ran into a few weeks ago. I have a Mac laptop and I use iCal, all set to EST. My BB Pearl is also set to EST and I use PocketMac to sync them - or rather to dump the Mac data onto the BB as two way syncing is a bit rough. A few weeks ago I went to San Francisco on business. I was surprised that the time on my BB didn't update to reflect the new timezone as usually happened with my old celphone. I did have the BB set to get its time off the network so I assumed that was all I needed to do. Perhaps I need to manually select the timezone once I arrive?
That's the first part of my question. The second is that when I arrived in SF I had my computer timezone change to local time but I didn't change iCal as a 9am meeting is at 9am in the timezone I'm in, no matter which one it is. When I did a sync with my BB all my existing appointments shifted by 3 hours and events that were set to be all day became multi day events (one day + 3 hours). The only way to easily fix this seemed to be to not set my computer to local time so that it was still in EST and I just had to remember to subtract 3 hours from any time display on the computer or the BB (as it was still stuck in EST as well). I also had to do a complete overwrite/sync of the BB to correct all of the calendar entries that were now 3 hours off.
Can any Mac/BB road warriors out there set me straight on what I need to do to keep this clean and keep my timezones accurate when travelling? The last thing I want to do is have to leave everything in EST but I don't want to start messing around with the settings and cause more problems. I do have Time Zone Support turned on in iCal so maybe that's part of the problem. It's not a feature that I really make use of so I'm ok to turn it off if that's part of the solution.

BlackBerry Desk Top v2.0 (build 65) will sync with iCal and Address Book, but not with MM.
Download it at the RIM site:
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/desktop_mac.jsp
Sync your iCal and Address Book with MM. Attach the Black Berry to your Mac - Desk Top will launch. Add the device (your Curve) in the Menu. Hit the sync button. All done.
While it is not an automatic sync, it has worked well for me for the last 4 years. I sync at lunch time each day.

ICal iPhone Sync Issue... Bug?

I have many repeating events in my calendar. I often have to change the time of one of the events in the string. I seem to have major problems when I do this either in iCal on my Mac or in the iPhone. When I sync I end up with deleted events, duplicated events, or other seemingly random errors. Often my iCal and iPhone are showing different info after a sync. I have double checked the settings for sync and reset my sync history with no positive results.
This problem is so perversive that I have reverted to putting in repeating events as entirely separate events. A huge pain as an event that repeats for five days needs to be put in as 5 completely separate entries.
Well, now a new and interesting bug has shown up. Yesterday I put a repeating event in on two days in my iPhone as two sepereate events... no repeat from within the software.
Today I synced with iTunes and the iPhone wanted to create a new calendar in iCal with the new events in it. I canceled the sync and double checked all my settings with no issues found. In the end I had to allow the new calender to be created to get the new events over to my iCal and now I have another calender that I never created!!!
I have calendar sync problems nearly every time I sync!! My calendar is my income!!! I need help. This is approaching unusable. Any help would be appreciated. Any thoughts, ideas? Any one else seeing these kind of issues?

I am having issues with birthdays as well. Someone else posted that it was with birthdays over 75 years ago, and that is definitely what is happening with mine. The even stranger thing is, if I change the address card with the birthday of 1926 to 2000, it still doesn't show up on the iPhone, however if I create a new card with a year of 2000, it works fine.

ICal/Google sync issues since iOS 8.2 update

Since the update to iOS 8.2 a few days ago, iCal on my iPhone 5s is not syncing with my Google Calendar. I have already reset the 2 step verification on my Google calendar permissions, checked to make sure events are in the Google calendar and not in the iPhone calendar, and checked settings to make sure the Google calendar is selected. The only thing I have not tried (because I'm worried that changes I made prior to realizing thisi was an issue would be lost) is deleting my Google account from the iPhone and reconnecting. Is that really my only remaining option? I'm stumped.

I'm facing the same issue on iOS 8.2 iPhone6. iCal is not syncing on the iPhone. It does, however, sync from Yosemite to iCloud.com.

Ical - iphone syncing issues

I haven't had this problem until recently (the last month or so) but I have my iphone calendar set for military time to avoid any confusion. Military time isn't even available as an option on ical on my main computer! Now every time I try to sync my phone with my laptop, there is confusion in the system as to whether to process a (for example) 3 o'clock appointment as 3 am or 3 pm. several of my calendars have gotten screwed up this way. Is anyone else having this issue or a solution to it? I prefer to keep military time. Thanks

Having Military time across the board really helps me out, as well. This is how you configure it for iCal on your Main Computer:
System Preferences-->Language & Text
Select "Formats" at the top of the window.
Near the center of the window is a section called 'Times'; a small sample is shown. Click the Customize button to its right.
(This next part can be a bit confusing.)
Four different time formats are displayed, each with a different 'length'. Click-and-hold the Hour section of the time displayed and select "00-23" from the popup. Do this for each 'length': Short, Medium, Long, and Full.
The longer 'Length' formats have AM/PM. Click on the PM and hit your Delete Key.
Click 'Okay' in the lower-right of the window.
Restart iCal; it will now be on military time on your Main mac.

ICal - iPhone Sync (Issue or bug?)

If I enter a birthday for a person in my address book of 1/2/1930, it shows up in my iCal but does not get synced to my iPhone. However, if I just set the date to 1/2 and have the computer flll in 2007 it shows up in iCal and on my iPhone when synced.
Is this a bug? Seems like it to me...

I am having issues with birthdays as well. Someone else posted that it was with birthdays over 75 years ago, and that is definitely what is happening with mine. The even stranger thing is, if I change the address card with the birthday of 1926 to 2000, it still doesn't show up on the iPhone, however if I create a new card with a year of 2000, it works fine.

ICal/iCloud sync issue

I have: Mac OS X (10.7.5), iPad 2G, iPhone 4S, 32GB iPod Touch 2G
I've spent a LOT of time looking for some iCal help and so far haven't found it. There are SO many issues that I accidentally responded to one from a year ago.
MY PROBLEM: I can't get iCal (on iMac) to update to iCloud, so my phone and ipod won't update.
I've seen numerous issues where events created on devices don't show up on the desktop/notebook calendar.
SO, I tried creating a test event (on my phone) while connected to the iMac. Then I disconnected the phone and created another test event.
All 3 places (cloud, itouch, iMac) got the info immediately! This makes my problem the opposite of most.
I went to this page for some help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
I checked default calendars, etc.
I especially looked at Troubleshooting Calendar at iCloud.com
It didn't help me at all. I didn't even get the message to let apple know.
Please HELP me!!!!

I have this problem but have not tried iCloud directly, just downloading it to my computer:
I am running OS X 10.7.5; I joined a webinar last night and am getting the same error message, just about:
Access to "(the webinar I joined)” in “(the calendar I chose” in account “(my apple id)” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“403”
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
My options are: Go Offline or Revert to Server
This is a recurring entry using a downloaded .ics. Have downloaded it several times with the same result, does not matter which calendar I put it in. It does put in the first session, puts the second one in the wrong date, puts in no more. I have entered it manually which gets it in there but the error message keeps coming up. I also imported it from the .ics file I downloaded, rather than using the online method from the website, and then from the email, where the webinar originates. (Also does not matter what calendar I put it into, have tried more than one.)
This is happening on a late 2008 MBP as well as a mid 2011 iMac.
Not Mountain Lion.
Last time I joined a webinar, which was probably a couple weeks ago, from the same source as this one, there was no problem adding it to the calendar.

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

ICal/iPhone sync keeps losing events

Several times recently I have entered a new event in iCal on my iPhone. Then at some point in the future, I go to look for the event, either on my phone or via iCal on my MacBook, and the event has disappeared. A couple of times I found that my calendar sync settings in iTunes had switched themselves off. Today, however, "Sync iCal Calendars" is still checked, with the "All Calendars" radio button enabled.
I have lost two doctor's appointments and a friend's birthday this way.

I have been having this problem since I got the iPhone two Years ago. It will work fine for a while, but occasionally get rid of events. I know of 3 in the last couple weeks that have been saved and are fine but then they mysteriously disappear.
The last time I talked to Apple Support, they told me that I am the only person that they have had report this issue and the only person that seemed to have multiple calendars (I have 23, and need them). It is funny how the forum talk about iCal/iPhone syncing issues but apple doesn't seem to know about it.
They had me back up all my events on the computer and restore them. Then re-sync the iPhone. That seemed to work most of the times, but it seems to be a problem again for some reason....I just lost a couple more appointments^%&*^%
I hope they find time to actually fix the problem. As we become more dependent on these calendars, losing appointment information becomes more and more frustrating. Enough to change phones...

ICal refuses to finish 'restore' ; trying to resolve sync issues.

trying to fix sync issues.
using missing sync.
everything worked perfectly for a ling long time before i thought it'd be cute to go in and put birthdays into addressbook, and select the option in iCal preferences to add those events to my calendar.
EVERYTHING has gone to **** since then.
the missing sync guys recommend i backup and restore addressbook and iCal.
addressbook did fine.
when i select the saved ICal database file (icbu) from my desktop, it will not complete.
what gives?
i'm trying to do this to fix another problem.
its like every step is making a new issue.
i am getting close to the edge guys...
pleaes help.
thanks!
c
(overall problem is that i cannot even get missing sync to overwrite my blackberry 8830 now.
for months, iCal, Addressbook, and Tasks synced perfectly.
all was well until i screwed with this stupid Birthday feature.)

also, i've already gone into iSync and cleared sync history....that didnt seem to affect anything.
thanks in advance for any insights at all.

ICal Syncing Issues: iCloud & iMac to iPhone Not Working

I use iCal. I updated my iCal on my iMac and it updated to iCloud, but not my iPhone. When I open iCal on my iPhone, it cycles and cycles to update, but doesn't update. What can I do to get my iPhone iCal to sync?

I have the same issue. I have 2 iPhones (4 and 5) and an MacBook. When I enter an event in the MacBook, the event doesn't appear on either iPhone and conversely when I enter and event in the iPhones, it doesn't appear in the MacBook (and all devices are connected to internet via WiFi). It all used to work fine until about June 20th. The events are all entered on iCloud-synchronized calendars. When I send invites to events to myself or others, these are not received. Mail synchronization works fine between devices. As a test, I'll set up a Google calendar and see if this problem is related to iCloud.

Syncing issues between outlook and Ical

My ICAL and Outlook 2011 are not syncing. ICAL seems stuck. Have been the entire gamut with Microsoft and it seems ICAL is the issue.

also- ICAL has no problem syncing to the phone and I sync only when I need to manually.

Endless syncing: issue with iCal (2.0.5) and iPod Touch 8GB (4.0.2)

Hi,
A couple of days ago I upgraded my iPod's OS from 4 to 4.0.2. Also, around those days, I made massive changes on my iCal's calendars (in my MacBook's iCal, not in the iPod's iCal). Since then, when I connect my iPod to my MacBook, iTunes stays syncing calendars and never stops.
I re-installed iTunes (the new version), but it didn't work.
I've tried rebooting, then restoring the iPod, restoring MacBook's iCal (Erased all calendars and created a new & empty one, then I went to Library and erased what I thought it was erasable).
I need help... I've just returned to college and it's a drama not being able to sync. Is it because iPod's new OS and Tiger won't work together anymore...?
PS: I've read something about MobileMe. I don't have nor want an account.
Thanks for reading and sorry for my poor English.

ranklam,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Troubleshooting .Mac syncing issues, should be helpful.
Just follow the steps listed under: General troubleshooting steps.
Before you do anything, make sure that you use iCal>File>Back up iCal...
Good Luck.
