ICal calendars no longer syncing to ipod using itunes after Snow Leopard

Help! I upgraded yesterday to the new Snow Leopard and I can no longer sync my calendars to my ipod 5G. I do not have an iphone and this is the only way I can see my calendars. Did Snow Leopard "update" the calendars so that iTunes can no longer see them? I get the error message that there is no calendars available to sync, when indeed, I have 10. Please help!

Hi, some more information...
I worked with Apple on the phone for three hours, to no avail.
the troubleshooting steps are as follows:
1. deleted from HD/username/Library/Caches the "com.apple.ical folder"
2. deleted from HD/username/Library/Preferences the file "com.apple.iCal.plist"
3. deleted from HD/username/Library/Calendars the "Calendar Cache" file
4. removed and reinstalled itunes
5. "restored" ipod to factory default settings
6. exported, deleted, and re-imported all calendars (individually)
7. plugged in ipod and tried to sync calendars - still not working...
This issue has been escalated up...
After seeing many posts with ical issues with Snow Leopard, I think I am not alone...
None of this has helped

  • My iCal calendars no longer sync adn I can't re-publish them

    I have several calendars created in my iCal for staffing schedules, from which I keep and maintain my staff shifts. The Mac the staff uses (I have a separate machine in my office) is subscribed to each of these calendars (one for each staff member) in iCal and was working mostly ok over the last few years (occasional hiccups I was able to correct and solve). Every time I made a shift change it would be updated to that calendar and the staff were kept up to date with all changes. However, I have upgraded to Lion and upgraded my Mac mini to the most recent machine - the staff is still on Snow Leopard (can't upgrade that machine due to several incompatibilites I won't go into here). It seemed the updates I created were updating automatically, as I had them set up to, to the other machine through the publishing & refreshing, but suddenly it isn't working anymore (sometime in the last 2 months).
    The calendars on my machine are now not refereshing at all, (the little "!" in the triangle within the circle - error symbol - is now showing at the side of each calendar whenever I try and refresh all.) So, obviously none of my calendars are connecting to their counterparts on the web, where the subscriptions live. So none of my updates are being received on the staff machine.
    I tried to unpublish to see if republishing would help, but the error I got was that I didn't have permission and to check my password - however, there is nowhere for me to enter or check it! I don't recall ever setting up a passowrd for the calendars. I chose the option to leave on server, and it removed the link for my calendars (little error symbol is gone).
    I tried to publish again, but now I get this message 'The calendar for "calendar name" couldn't be published. The request for calendar failed. The server responded with "503".'
    This may be a very simple solution, and I apologize for my not-very-technical language and descriptions, but I am at a bit of a loss here and am hoping someone can help -  my staff and I all rely on this method and it seems crazy that this isn't working as it did. I am suspecting it is a Lion vs. Snow Leopard issue, but I can't seem to find out how to correct it and continue using my calendars as I need to.
    Anyone have ideas?

    Have you migrated your MobileMe to iCloud? If you haven't you need to go to http://me.com and do so now, and I mean now.
    That done, the method for sharing iCloud calendars is described here:

  • My iCal calendar no longer syncs with my iPhone

    I bought an iPhone and an iMac just recently.  For the last two weeks they have been syncing whenever they ar both in the same WiFi network.  But latrely, they no longer sync when I change something in either calendar.  Any idea why?  They are both still connecting to my home WiFi network.

    OK.  Problem seems to have gone away when I started iTunes on the iMac.  I'm real new to the iPhone and to Imac (a couple weeks).  Does iTunes have to be running on the iMac in order for sync to take place?

  • Music sync to ipod using Itunes 7.3.1 sounds like skipping cd

    Hello,
    I have an older 12" PowerBook G4. Since installing the latest Quicktime (7.2) and iTunes(7.3.1) any music that I sync with my iPod sounds like a skipping cd. The music on the iPod sound like a skipping cd for a short time and then just skips to the next song. The next song of course does the same thing. The music sounds fine when played back using iTunes. The music is encoded as a MP3 using VBR. All of the music I have previously encoded (before iTunes 7.3) and put on the iPod continues to play just fine (using the same MP3 and VBR settings). I have tried resetting my iPod, but that did not help. Only having USB 1.1 ports and am not too excited by ideas that involve syncing 40GB of music back onto my iPod.
    Any ideas what has changed in the latest software version or what can be done? It would grand to carry some new music to work.

    So, the music sounds like a skipping cd and then shortly just skips onto the next song. In Itunes I selected the skipping songs (which happen to play fine in Itunes) and used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu, deleted the skipping songs from my iPod and then added the freshly converted versions of the songs back to the iPod. This worked. No skipping and the songs played all of the way though. Why do I have to convert an mp3 created by iTunes to an mp3 using "Convert Selection to MP3" in order to make things work?
    I do not think that is the problem.
    I use a laptop with limited hard drive space. After iTunes rips my cd's into mp3's I copy the mp3 files to an external hard drive, deleted the songs from iTunes and re-add them from the external hard drive using the "Add to Library" option under "Files". I did this fora couple of cd's. Then I deleted the corresponding songs off of my iPod and re-added them. The songs on the iPod again sound like a skipping cd before just skipping on to the next song.
    One more time, I used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu to convert the skipping songs. This time I just left them in the iTunes Music folder on the internal hard drive instead moving them to the external hard drive. After deleting and re-adding the songs to my iPod the songs played fine.
    I do not use an "iTunes Music folder" on my external hard drive and like to organize my mp3's to my likings.
    The question now is, why can't mp3's be moved from the "iTunes Music" folder on the internal disk to an external disk? I do not have enough room on my internal disk to carry around my music and still accomplish work.
    I had been using the method described above for years without problems.

  • When you sync your Ipod using Itunes does it back up your photos?

    Title says it all,
    when you sync your ipod does it back up your photos automatically.. Preferrably the photos that are in the camera roll?
    My ipod won't turn on at all, I have tried everything and I am thinking it might be a battery issue at this point but anyways.. I might buy the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I REALLY need the photos that I last had on the ipod. The day before the ipod decided to die on me, I synced it to my computer to put music on it and stuff so I am wondering if it backed up the photos as well?

    Yes iTunes backs up your iPod automatically every time you sync unless you have the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod chacked to backup to iCloud. In that case yo have to manually backup to iTunes.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    Yes, the iPod backup that iTunes makes (and iCloud makes) includes photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album.

  • Can't sync iPhone/iPod to iTunes after update?

    After the latest iTunes update and I am not clear on how to sync my iPhone or iPod to iTunes. When I plug either of them in they charge but do not start up in iTunes at all. I have automatic syncing turned on but nothing happens. In the previous versions whenever I would connect a device a bar would pop up where I could change my syncing options for that particular device but not since the update. I do not like this new iTunes at all, I don't think it's very use-friendly and I'm still working out how to navigate it so maybe I'm just missing it altogether. Any help would be appreciated.

    I found removing everything apple related and re installing itunes fixed it for me...
    just go through your add/remove programs and ANYTHING apple related including bonjour   then re install itunes and connect your device.
    Hope this works for you.

  • IPod Touch is not recognized in iTunes after Snow Leopard install

    Another post says that the solution is to install iPhone/iPod Touch SDK update under Software Update. I did this and am still having no luck. I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch and when I connect it to my MacBook, it doesn't show the syncing screen on my iPod, nor does it register under devices on my iTunes. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? When I installed Snow Leopard I did a clean install and restored my computer from Time Machine. So, a problem may be that it doesn't think my iPod is registered under this computer. Is there anyway I can check and see if that is the problem?

    Your post solved the same problem for me. Thank you so much! And thanks to JaketheSnake for starting this thread. iTunes used to start up automatically whenever I connected my iPod Touch, but a couple of months ago it quit doing that. I didn't think much of it as I just clicked on iTunes in the dock and opened it and went on my merry way. I just figured something in the last iTunes update changed it's behavior. But lately I noticed that my iPod Touch would be in the source list while it was syncing and then it would sometimes just disappear. I was too lazy to start a thread, I guess, because I just thought someone would tell me to "restore" my iPT and I had gotten used to my little "work arounds". But now it's fixed, thanks to both of you.

  • IPhone sync issue with iTunes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then iTunes does not see my iPhone 3GS and I am unable to sync. I've read the troubleshooting guide to no avail. What am I missing?

    If you are running v10.6.3 as your profile suggests, update to v10.6.8.
    Click your Apple menu / Software Update.
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
    See if iTunes will recognize your iPhone.
    If your software is up to date then try here >  iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes after Snow Leopard security update?

    I just installed the latest security update for Snow Leopard and now my AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. I don't know for sure if the security update is actually the cause, but I was able to connect not even an hour earlier in the evening.
    Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I've power cycled the ATV, along with my router with no change.

    Could be the same problem others are having with latest version of iTunes. See this thread:

  • HT1369 Something has happened to the iPod sync process.   After updating iTunes SW, I can no longer sync my iPod.  iTunes recognizies teh device but the sync is always gray.  Windows controls teh device not iTunes.  I have gone through all of the diagnost

    When I run diagnostics, the iPod is not recognized.  This occurs on both of my PCs, Desktop and Laptop.  The device is a 4th Gen iPod.  Always worked in the past until I updaetd iTunes.  Anyone have this issue and solved it?

    Disregard this... I found the issue.  I have AirWatch MDM installed.  For some reason, the restrictions blocked me from syncing videos.  I don't know how that happened being that I am the Admin for the AirWatch MDM at my company - I made sure i allowed everything possible being that its configured for BYOD.  I guess something with the update to 8.0.2 screwed with it somehow.  It worked fine after uninstalling the AirWatch Profile and MDM. 

  • HT201593 When I tried to sync my iPod with iTunes after changing it so I could manually manage my photos a box popped up saying 'it failed to sync cause it couldn't start'. What is this? How can I get it to just sync with my changes?

  • ICal will no longer sync with macmini still syncs with iPhone, iPod and another mac...what happened?

    iCal will no longer sync with wife's mac mini.  It works with our iPhone, iPod and and older  G5 tower.  I am using an iMac.   Nothing shows up on the mobile me calendar in her office.  I have been unable to get the shared calendar to open on her machine.  All had been well until yesterday.
    Thanks for any help.

    I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

    That's not the point.    Before iCloud, Outlook synched with Apple Calendar and/or iCal.    With iCloud, Cal syncs with iPhone and other devices.     Outlook doesn't have to sync with iCloud (although that would certainly be nice).   It just has to continue to sync with Cal, which in turn syncs with devices via iCloud.
    But for some inane reason, it doesn't.    If this is Apple's way of forcing people to not use Office and only use Calendar and Apple Mail, they are going to stop the gains they've made in business environments.   Businesses, especially large businesses, use Outlook.   End of story.
    Furthermore, Apple's instructions for setting up or deleting iCal and iCloud accounts is complete gibberish.  And I'm a tech who has been working with computers for 32 years.   Apple used to be great at making things easy.  They now suck at it and are just as bad as Microsoft.

  • I updated my iphone to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iphone calander and macbook calendar no longer sync (they used to). How do I get them to sync again?

    I updated my iphone to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iphone calander and macbook calendar no longer sync (they used to). How do I get them to sync again?

    Why can't you update?
    There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
    What happens when you try to update?
    Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
    Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers.

  • After my software update, my calendar no longer syncs w my PC

    After my recent update to IOS6, my calendar no longer syncs with my PC, yet my iPod touch is fine.

    Make sure you are running the latest version of iCloud control panel for Windows (ver. 4) by running Apple Software Update and installing any available updates.  If you install an update, restart your PC, then try calendar syncing again.
    If that wasn't the issue, try force-closing the calendar app on your iPad (double-tap the home button, swipe up on the calendar app, tap the home button again), then reset your iPad (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  After it restarts, try adding a new calendar event and see if it appears on your PC now.
    If not, try going to Settings>iCloud on your iPad, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPad and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud).  Then reset your iPad again and test calendar syncing.
