ICal continuously syncing with MobileMe?

Hi there,
Recently my iCal has been showing weird behaviour:
Whenever I add/edit events in any of my calendars, iCal keeps syncing. I can see it's syncing because of the 'fan'-icon next to the accountname '[email protected]'.
Every one or two seconds, it resyncs when I'm editing anything. This results in whatever I am doing is being cancelled. So for instance; if I'm adding a new event, it's suddenly gone. Or sometimes, I'm adding an event, still typing the name, but it's being 'saved' as if I'm done with it. Also, if I'm stretching the length of an event, it's suddenly 'reset' to it's original position/duration because (presumably) it's being synced with whatever data is on MobileMe.
I have removed the MobileMe account, emptied my iCal, re-setup the MobileMe account but it still occurs.
I am using iCal 4.0.4
I am not sure, but I think the behaviour started when I updated to the 'new' MobileMe calendar.
There are two iPhone 4's and one other Mac synced to the MobileMe account.
There is also a CalDav account in my iCal because of my Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Server. (I don't use it, but I cannot delete this account)
If more information is needed, let me know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Roger, thanks for your reply.
I do not have any calendars under the CalDAV, so it probably doesn't affect anything. I thought I'd better put anything that might be relevant in there, just in case.
As you say; it makes sense that it syncs whenever you're done changing something. However, in my case it seems to register any event - any keystroke, change of duration etc - as being 'done'.

  • Missing a calendar in iCal after syncing with MobileMe....

    i am having some problems with iCal ...i am missing one my Calendars in iCal and wasn't sure how to get it back. I downloaded the calendars file and calendar.plist from my Time Machine backup...the missing calendar showed up at first, but it seemed to disappear right away (i assume after syncing with MobileMe.) Not sure what would be the easiest way to bring it back.......

    It's possible to restore from Time Machine, though it's a slightly complicated process. Please follow very carefully the steps described here:

  • ICal not syncing with MobileMe

    I know there have been other posts on this, but I have tried them all and cannot figure this out. MobileMe is syncing with my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2) but it is not syncing with my MacBook under my current user profile. I created a new profile as a test and it synced with no issues. I have tired signing out and back into my MobileMe account, deleting the calendar cache, deleting the calendar folder, reinstalling ical, etc. I cannot figure this out and I am feeling my only option left is to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Any help on this?

    For whatever reason, iCal has suddenly "come back to life for me." I did a backup and restore (did not by itself seem to solve the problem), then Reset Sync History, then rebooted my MBP, then Reset Sync History again, and then initiated a manual sync in the MobileMe control panel. Voila! iCal populated with the MobileMe data, and it appears that not only did iCal receive data, it also sent updates of its own on over to MM and thereby to my phone. We'll see if the reliability of the MM "ecosystem" under 10.5.5 gets, well, more reliable.

  • When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?

    When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?
    Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
    I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
    Please help !
    Nick

    Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
    Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
    Any ideas welcome !!

  • Added calendar in iCal not synced to MobileMe

    I moved a calendar from "On My Mac" to my MobileMe account group, using the export-import method. The new calendar, however, does not sync to MobileMe. I even tried an overwrite (bookmarks, calendars, contacts and keychains) from my Mac to MobileMe but the added calendar still did not appear in MobileMe.
    I quit and relaunched iCal, which started an immediate sync. The new calendar promptly disappeared from iCal and I got a string of error messages (one for each entry in the new calendar, it seems) all ending with
    The server responded with
    “HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict”
    and asking me to either "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server". It didn't seem to matter which one I selected – the error just kept cropping up. Eventually, I gave up and force quit iCal.
    How can I add a new calendar to iCal that will sync with MobileMe?

    Derek,
    I presume that this procedure represents exactly what you have tried to accomplish?
    Import an iCal calendar or event
    If you use iCal and want to add your iCal calendars and events to a MobileMe calendar, you can import them.
    Hide
    To import an iCal calendar:
    Open iCal, and then select the iCal calendar you want to import into your MobileMe calendar.
    Choose File > Export > Export.
    Type a calendar name, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu, and click OK.You can store the exported file anywhere, and you can delete it after you finish importing it.
    Choose File > New Calendar, and then choose a MobileMe calendar (by default, your MobileMe email address).
    Type a calendar name (you can use the same name as the calendar you just exported), and press Return.
    Choose File > Import > Import, select your exported iCal calendar, and then click Import.
    Select the destination MobileMe calendar to which you want to add the imported iCal calendar, and then click OK.
    Quit iCal and go to the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and delete any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the name. Log out/in or restart and reattempt using the exact procedure which I copied from the MobileMe Help page.

  • ICal not syncing w/ mobileme

    iCal has stopped syncing with Mobileme. When I try to sync I get the error message "Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent data. Confirm that your computer's data is valid, then reset Calendars on MobileMe in System Preferences." I have unchecked Calendars in Syst Prefs, synced, rechecked, and synced and it does not work. How can I resolve this and sync it?

    I am having the same problem with iCal not syncing. I have 3 Macs (iMac, Macbook, and G5 Tower) that are all normally synced using MobileMe and 2 iPhones that sync as well, but the computers just stopped syncing the other day. It seems to be an Apple problem but I don't know how to remedy it. I've tried what has worked for some other folks here where you changed the sync to the computer from the mobile me in sys prefs but once the main computer that holds the calendar has a change it messes up the others again. It's becoming very frustrating and I can't seem to get to the proper link on the support pages to get an Apple tech to help. I noticed on the Mobile Me page it says that they did an update the other day that could affect peoples syncing but it says it's now resolved. Not for me, anyone has any thoughts I'd sure appreciate it.

  • IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

    Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
    My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
    I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
    The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
    Please help!!

    Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
    If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
    Does this help?

  • Cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

    cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

    I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works.  Is anyone else having problems like this?  All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

  • CalDAV syncing with MobileMe

    Our company uses a corporate gmail account so has about 15 different calendars. I've set up the account and delegates in iCal. But when I sync with MobileMe, I get nothing on my online calendar. The addresses and bookmarks are syncing so I'm pretty sure I'm connecting. Any ideas?

    New updates appear to have solved the issue.

  • 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.

    This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
    Any experience doing this the "right" way?

  • Trying to get iCal to sync with iCloud on my mac

    Hi there, I have a 2009 Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Since upgrading to mavericks, and subsequently Yosemite, I cannot get iCal to sync with the iCloud. All my calenders were sucked onto the cloud, and I can access them via my Iphone 5s and online, but whenever I try to tick the box in iCal to sync with my iCloud account, it crashes iCal.
    When I was on Snow leopard, and had a Nokia phone, I used a terminal command to sync my iCal through dropbox, which worked fine, but has obviously migrated with my user account, as with a clean install of Yosemite iCal works fine, until I use Migration assistant to install my User profile.
    Is there anyway to reset just iCal without a clean install off the OS?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, per the Adobe website, After Effects CS6 for Students is only available via a Suite
    Creative Suite 6
    Or US$999 for the non-Student version of After Effects CS6 alone
    Creative Suite 6
    Both those options are expensive compared to the Cloud options and give you only outdated - 3 year old - software.
    All Cloud plans give you access to 3 independent versions: CS6, CC and CC 2014, so your Cloud options:
    There are no Single App Student versions, so your only other Student option is to subscribe to the Cloud Complete Plan for Students and Teachers @ US$19.99/month (requires 12 month commitment - so US$240 all up).
    Or Single App After Effects (non-Student) for US$19.99/month - not much point since you can get the full Cloud Student and Teacher version for the same price
    Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    Financially, the Full Cloud Student and Teacher option seems to offer the best value for you. Just remember that you're only ever renting the software. You never own it.
