ICal colors and syncing questions?

In preparation for an iphone I transferred my palm calendar to iCal. I hate all the colors. How can i change them or make it black and white for at least work items? I plan on syncing the calendars at home and at work. At home I have 10.5 and at work 10.4. Are there any issues with syncing in two different locations?

I believe so. Just wished it worked for subscribed calendars. Hopefully the next update will fix it!

Multiclip multi questions (audio question and syncing question)

I have two questions concerning multiclip editing:
1. How do you select the audio from one angle to remain the audio throughout as opposed to the audio track changing every time you select a different video source?
2. If one camera in a three camera set-up stops recording for a technical issue and then goes back up, is there a way to sync both of those files to one angle of a multiclip? If not, is there a way to make them separate angles and sync via input on three angles and on output for the fourth angle?
Thanks in advance.

1. In the Viewer's Playhead Sync Menu (upper center), select "Video"
instead of "Video + Audio".
2. Sorry, neither of your ideas will work. Multiclips work with actual media
clips, so two clips will be two angles; and the sync method (in, out, timecode)
is the same for all clips.
I suggest you assemble the two files from the camera in a sequence (using
identical settings as the clips), sync them up exactly (with a little space
between them), and export them using the same settings to make a new clip,
which you can then import and use for your multiclip.
Have fun!

IPhone synced with another library..."Erase and Sync" question

I helped someone transfer from an older iPhone to an iPhone 6 and did an encrypted backup on my laptop and then restored that backup to their new phone.
When they took the phone home and tried to sync their library with it they got the following message:
"The iPhone ... is synced with another iTunes library on ... Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
I understand what iTunes is referring to but what does "Erase and Sync" actually do? Does it just erase any media i.e., songs, apps and videos and then resyncs them from the new library or does it completely wipe the phone and start from scratch?
Thanks...

When you say erased, you mean almost like a restore is done to factory settings instead of just the media being erased?
I ask because the older phone is no longer available and they want to preserve their photos, etc.
Can I backup the phone on their computer, select erase and sync and then restore from that backup?

Erase and Sync Question..

OK so annoyingly I formated my hardrive on my pc and reinstalled everything. Now I plug my iphone in to my PC and it upon clicking on Sync it says it must erase and sync as the iPhone was syned with another computer.... hmmmm
So I don't mind losing my music and apps as there now on the reformatted PC anyway but I dont want to lose my text messages..
I presume if I click on erase and sync I wll lose my messages?
Can I erase and sync and then if all messages are gone reinstall a backup and iTunes will be happy?
Cheers, Ben
PS I did manage to backup my iphone backups and have put them back on the PC. iTunes does see the previous backups..

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.
When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the Phone first.
Your computer is detected as a new or different computer after reformatting the hard drive.
This does not erase all content on the iPhone - this is not a complete iPhone erase and does not involved restoring the iphone with iTunes, which is a separate process and must be manually selected. Data such as SMS is not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup.

ICal sharing and syncing

My wife keeps the family calendar in iCal, and I'm trying to be able to share in that information. It's harder than you might think. Before I had .Mac, I published my wife's calendar through iCalX, and subscribed to it on my Mac. Her calendar was read only, and it didn't share my calendar at all, but otherwise It worked okay. The big downside to this arrangement was updating. She had to be the one to take charge of the pubishing of her calendar, and she could either publish the calendar 'after each change' or 'manually'. 'After each change' took too long if there were server problems on iCalX (which there oftren were), and that quickly frustrated her, so she stopped, and she never remembered to publish it manually, so I had to remember to update her calendar from her computer. Very awkward.
Then I got .Mac. I tried publishing her calendar through .Mac, but found out that there was no password protection (unlike iCalX), and I didn't want everyone to read the calendar, so that was out. I only wanted to share between us. Clearly, publishing was designed to share calendar information with the world, not internally between families.
I finally found what I thought was the perfect solution. I used my .Mac account to sync my calendars, email, bookmarks, etc. Then I had my wife use my .Mac account to sync just the calendar portion (she obviously doesn't want to sync my bookmarks or email). Then when I synced my Mac, everything worked well. Plus, it shared my calendar with her as well. All done automatically when .Mac syncs. Perfect, I thought. I'm not sure that this was necessarily how .Mac was designed, but it seemed to work okay for us.
Then my wife got a laptop to go along with her desktop Mac. "How do I keep things in sync between these two machines?" she says. "Well, I guess you'll have to get your own .Mac account because that's what it's designed for", I reply. However, it dawned on me that if she got her own .Mac account, and used that to sync between her two machines, we would be unable to continue our existing arrangement. OS X seems to allow you to sign in to only one .Mac account at a time.
This strikes me as a pretty common thing to want to do. I'm sure others have struggled with this question. Perhaps I need to set up some sort of server solution? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi there...As far as i know, you can only sync from one computer. Example:- if you sync your ical to other machines eg. wifes laptop, kids etc, from then on it must be you syncing on your machine with the family with one account. The minute someone else does it from another machine, the previous entries will be erased.
In short, use one computer to sync.
Good Luck!!!

Icon and sync question

I organize the icon's on the main screen by adding new folders and then more seldom used icon's into those folders. Now when I sync my BB, all of the icon's appear and the new folders have been deleted. Is there a setting that should be set to keep the icon's organized the way I have?
Thanks in advance,

Yes LMS 4.2 needs a new license. You can probably check once if your LMS 4.0.1 license allows you a free upgrade.
Many old LMS 4.0.1 were offered free Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.x, which has LMS 4.2 available with.

Me and my wife each have an iphone. Want to set up a mobileme family pack, to give her a unique email address, i have my own email address. can I then simply connect both phones to the imac, and let them sync independent of each other?

You can sync as many as you like to the same computer. Each is different and can bet set up however you like.

Backup and Syncing Question

My iPod touch was originally synced with my iMac, but it is now synced with my pc. My music, movies and all of that is fine, but my apps were not synced. How can I have my apps synced with the pc, BUT, I don't want to loose any data from my apps. Can I restore from the iTunes backup after the sync wipes the apps, or is there a third party program I can use to make a backup? Thanks.

connect the iPod to the iMac and make one final sync and backup. The backup is the first step of a sync. Then move a copy of the iPod backup file to the PC. The files are located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Connect the iPod to the PC and transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Then restore the iPod from the backup you just moved to the PC. Then sync as necessary.

BBZ10, Link and Sync Question (Mac)

The latest version of Link is suppose to allow device contact sync’ing with Mac’s Address Book. Does anybody know exactly how the updated version of Link handles this? All I can find is an option to “Import Contacts”, with no indication as to whether this is a one time event or true synchronization.
I already have an issue with multiple duplicate contacts, result of my device transfer from my Bold 9900. What I don’t want is more duplicates. What I really don’t want is to inadvertently corrupt my desktop Address Book which is duplicate free.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ken

The sync is currently one way from desktop to z10 only. In future release of the BB link, it will give you a two way sync. I would check your contacts to see if you have duplicate contacts on your sim card and device. I deleted all my contacts off the sim card and just use the device. I also turned off the sim card from contacts, along with facebook , linkin and twitter.

ICal, Google Calendar, syncing problems and duplicate entries

Hi everyone:
I could use some help. Oy.
At work, we use Google calendar, and that hosts my appointments. I find the Google web-interface impossible, and would like to use iCal to access the data on the Google servers. I have no problem doing that with iOS--my iPhone and iPad manage to sync up fine, and syncing works in both directions; i can add and delete either on Google or on the iOS devices and everything is fine.
But on my desktop machine, I have problems of two sorts. First, once I follow the steps to add a calendar, the syncing seems broken; I can add and delete from the Google web interface, but nothing deleted from the desktop gets passed to Google. Second, I have many duplicate entries that show up on my desktop and some very old appointments that no longer should be on the calendar show up out of no where.
What I'd love to do is a full reboot, eliminating all calendar data everywhere (except on the Google servers, of course, where the work stuff is stored) and start from scratch. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance--
Roger

Have you tried rebooted your Mac? (Not needed often, so we Mac users often forget to try this. ) Are you logged on with an admin account or a standard account? (Or one with Parental Controls enabled.)
Sometimes I'll find the dialog window "behind" my other windows. Try not to click or move your mouse after you click the plus button. Or try moving windows around or minimizing them so that any windows that are hidden behind other windows are then shown. (In fact try closing all apps and Finder windows to reduce the possibility of this issue in the first place.)
(BTW, your question really is separate from the original question, since the OP already has their Google account added to iCal and you are having trouble adding the account. In the future you'll want to start your own thread so that you can also mark posts answered or helpful.)

HT4759 Question re calendar sharing and syncing

I am currently using Google Drive, Google Calendars and a windowns operating system, Intewrnet Explorer for emails . Can I sync and share my google calendars with the ipad using icloud?

Hi Darren,
Sorry no one was able to help you. Not sure I can but I'll try
1) Try AppleCare if you can. They might help though I doubt it.
2) If you are near an Apple Store of dealer they might be able to help.
3) You might try to find a local or inline user group.
4) Look at the top of this iCal list as a topic regarding sharing is happening and it might lead to leads about how to lock some calendars.
5) Unless you have a backup, I doubt you'll be able to recover what has been deleted.
6) Shoot your question by the ical forum (or maybe the OSX forum)at macosxhints: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=43128
Bear in mind, iCal isn't really designed to be a mission critical (at this point) so I don't think I'd run my business on it if I wasn't a very capable user.
You'll want to let folks know what version of OSX and iCal you are running as things have changed.
Some of us on this list are trying to better understand how iCal works so maybe we'll be able to offer you some help later. You might try tracking down the various iCal files and see what you can do (do this under a different user for experimenting). The locations depend on what version you are running. You might be able to "lock" some aspects.
You might also want to consider a more robust application for your needs.
And your folks might need some more training or more help than you can give them.

ICal doesn't sync between my iphone and macbook pro

It takes several hours for my iCal entries to show up on my iPhone, and yet many entries are still incorrectly identified by color (not picking up edits from laptop on iPhone). My iPhone is set to push updates every 15 minutes, and my laptop .Mac preference is to update automatically. Even when I plug in to laptop and sync in iTunes, it does not update iCal from my laptop to my iPhone.
The Apple store geniuses completely replaced my MobileMe account a few weeks ago since they could not get my laptop & iPhone to sync and hadn't been since I opened the account last summer (apparently neither were talking to the cloud). Compared to not working at all, it synced much better after that, though inconsistently and with delay. Help me!!

On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon. Turn on iCloud.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.
One of the services is ICal.

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them. How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

My ical calanders dont sync on iphone and ipad

my ical calanders dont sync between my iphone, ipad, and imac computer. I back them up to the cloud.

First lets establish that you have calendars enabled on your iPhone and iPad.
Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Select the account of which you are using calendars with (iCloud, Gmail, Etc)>Enable
Now on your iMac, go to Calendars, and ensure that you are creating/syncing calendars with the same account(s) you are using on your iOS devices.

Question Concerning Erase and Sync and Itunes backups

Earlier this year my Computers Harddrive exploded without me making a backup. overtime I have moved all my new data to a new Itunes library and now after just about everything has been moved My Itunes is telling me that for my 5 devices, That I need to do an Erase and Sync. If I were to first backup my devices in Itunes would I be able to recover everything after the Erase and Sync ( Notes, Contacts, Remiders,ect.) Also a side question, If I restore my phone from a backup, are the data in the Apps Lost
Sorry For Poor Grammar did this in a hurry

If the songs are still on your computer then you'll have to add them back into iTunes and rebuild your library. Once you've done that you can reload your iPod. Pressing "Erase and Sync" when iTunes brings up the dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in this iTunes does exactly what it says. If you linked to an iTunes with only a few or completely different songs it will have erased your original iPod song list, iTunes itself must have been empty at that point as erase and sync erases the iPod not iTunes. If you lost your songs entirely from the computer and the iPod there are some data recovery programs on the market. I've no personal experience of them so I can't say how effective they are, here's an example: iPod Data RecoveryBuegie - Recovering Songs
None of the recovery programs are particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you would have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
