Ical Icloud synch problem - new

I have a problem with Ical sync with iCloud on one of my two Imacs, both running latest Lion 10.7.3. On one of the iMacs, the synch works the way it should - meaning that any change I make in the iCloud calendar gets pushed to that iMac, and any change that I make on the desktop iCal gets pushed to iCloud.
But on my other iMac, with exact same configuration of iCal, exact same config of iCloud the results are puzzling. I have a total of 6 calendars, nonoe local to either desktop and all 6 on the cloud. On 2 out of the 6 calendars, iCloud changes geet pushed to the desktop, but I am unable to even see any events on the other 4 calendars - all of them are checked to display. I went through the website troubleshooting which included quitting iCal on the desktop with difficulty, then unchecking iCloud clendar, then waiting a minute, then rechecking the iCloud calendar. Then restarting the dsestop. Same results. I did it twice to be sure. I still only see 2 out of the 6 calendars. Can't figure it out. Another odd thing is that when I create a new event on the problem iMac desktop, I don't get a chance to indicate which calendar I want, or which dsate I wawnt, or what tiime I want. The event just defaults to my default calendar, gets pushed to the cloud, gets pushed to the other iMac and shows up, but I can't see it on the problem iMac.

Greetings,
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard. You will see "Library" in the menu.
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

TS3999 iCal (iCloud) and problems with Invitees

when creating an event in iCal (iCloud) and inviting attendees from my Address Book, the event doesn't appear to be sent via email ? Is anybody aware of this as a potential bug or do you know a workaround ? Thanks

The only solution was to wipe the hard drive and reload Leopard.

Ical, icloud sync problem. mac to phone

Have you checked, or tried changing the iCal>Preferences...>Accounts>"Refresh Calendars:" settings?

ICal - Touch synch problem

In iCal, I move events to the To Do list also so that I can sync them via an iPod Touch To Do application. What I do is first update iCal, drag the events to the to do list and then synch with my Touch. Before I even try to sync with the To Do app, I notice that in iCal, some events in the To Do list have been moved forward by one day. The only thing consistent about this is that if it changes the date on an event, iCal won't allow me to fix it. When I do the fix and sync again, it again moves the date. It does not do this with all events, so I'm mystified. Any suggestions?

ICloud not receiving new iCal events generated on MBP

iCal on my Mac is no longer synching events I am creating in my iCloud calendars on my MBP. I get the following error: "The server responded with an error. The connection with server p07-caldav.icloud.com has been closed. Try again later." And the events that have not been synched get the tilde squiggle icon next to them. I have tried disabling the iCloud calender, then enabling it again as another post suggested. This allowed me to add 1 new event, which synched fine and showed on my ipad, but then it went back to the error. iCloud synch with iCal was working fine for several weeks after upgrading to Lion recently. First time this is happening. My internet connection is fine. I am running 10.7.4 and am synching iPhone 4S and iPad 3 with MBP. I appreciate any input any of you may have. Thanks!

A lot of people are having the same problems and I too have the same problem and noone seems to be able to provide a solution. This icloud thing is a little patchy. Very disapointing !!!!!
Let me know if you find a solution.....

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

New iPod, Don't want synching problems

Wanted to ask this question before problems arise....
I'm waiting on delivery of my new 80GB 5th generation iPod to replace the old one (60 GB iPod) that died.
I have heard about synching problems that happen when more than one iPod are connected to a single account. What precautions can I take to get all the music and audio books from one iPod to another?
Thanks in advance,
Sue in Sunny California

*I have heard about synching problems that happen when more than one iPod are connected to a single account.*
Not sure where you heard this but many people use multiple iPod with a single computer. As you can see from this guide, it's well supported: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
*What precautions can I take to get all the music and audio books from one iPod to another?*
You just need to connect your new iPod. If the songs etc. you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. Follow the onscreen instructions to register and name your iPod, when that is done you'll be asked if you want it to update automatically from iTunes, choose yes if you do. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

HT204053 I created a different Apple ID for Icloud on my new IPhone and having problems with getting Itunes,etc. How do I change my Icloud Apple ID to be the same ID and password?

I created a different Apple ID for my Icloud on my new IPhone (said a free email was available or something similar) rather than the other choice offered of using my same existing Apple ID. Now I keep having issues accessing my account and my password isn't working to access Icloud to download Itunes. Can I undo this new account I created and just use my one existing Apple ID? This is my first IPhone and confused with this part of the setup! Thanks.

If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36). If you don't, you may be out of luck.

Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

Exchang, Mail, Ical - strange sync problem

Hi
I have a very strange problem... i guess.
After installing Snow Leopard both on my MacBook Pro and my Imac I've set up Exchange 2007.
It all works just fine on the MB, both mail and calendar. Downloading mails and syncing my calendar events. I can also subscribe to my co-workers calendars, all good.
However, on the Imac it's downloading my mail, and syncs with my calendar, but I cant subscribe to my co-workers calendars, and I can't find any differences in the setup in Ical. It wont even show which calendars that's available...
Is there anybody who had similar problems? :o/
Kind Regards, Michel

Here is what I would do, as a test.
1) Check to see if you selected within iCal's preference the "Show Birthdays calendar" option. If so, close the preferences window, select the Birthdays calendar and Export to your drive (Desktop) for backup. Then return to iCal preference and uncheck the Birthdays calendar option.
2) Create a new calendar named Test (or whatever you choose other than Birthdays). Create a bogus all-day event for the new calendar like you would have for someone's birthday in the Birthdays calendar, and place it on a day that you have one of your appointments.
3) Sync to your phone and see the results. If the events show up correctly on your phone, then return to iCal and change your new calendar's name to Birthdays, create another all-day event on the day of a current appointment and again sync with your phone.
4) If this too is correct on your phone after synching, then the culprit would be the iCal's Birthdays setting. I would then leave this option off and then import the backup export I made in step 1 into my new Birthdays calendar.
5) Once again sync w/ the phone to see if the issue is gone. If so, you have your workaround.
If not, or if during any of the other steps the issue arose, I would say the problem lies within your Nokia or maybe even another calendar. That be the case, somewhat repeat the steps above in creating a new calendar, exporting the "bad" calendar, test a new entry in the new calendar to sync w/ your phone, and if successful, import the "bad" calendar's data into your new calendar to see if that is successful.
A bit of work, but it just might resolve your issue. Good luck and I look forward to seeing if it works.

Transfer MobileMe to iCloud - email problem

I transferred from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday
I am using the same .mac address but have changed my AppleID to this as suggested
I now see an iCloud account on all my devices (iMac, iPhone and iPad2)
I receive emails but the inbox only holds one or two messages and then seems to shift them direct to Archive
I can't read archive file on the regular Mail programme - only by going to iCloud.com.
I have not instituted any rules on iCloud but it seems to be behaving as if I have?
Any ideas??
Happy New Year
AJM

Same bloody thing here. I've gotten several different errors. iCal invites won't sync from mail to my calendar. My password hasn't changed, I've logged onto iCloud, no problem. Why did't Apple just create a .cloud email addy? On top of this, since Lion, I've seen more spinning coloured wheels and just frozen apps than I care to see. I'm thinking all of this was shoved out the door before it was ready. I regret the upgrade and am seriously thinking of a reinstall to SL. Starting to think I am dealing with Windows. Since the update to the ios, I've lost a chunk of my email. I'm sick of these issues. Please give me software that will allow my Mac Pro and super HS connection work for me. Gawd.

ICal stops synching in Lion.......

Hi,
after upgrading to Lion initially everything appear fine.
Until I realized that when I add, modify or delete calendar entries on my Lion iCal they never synch back to mobile.me, not to my iPhone or iPad.
When I click on the calendar button (upper left corner) I appear to see the reason for that. For all my Exchange calendar (4-5) the busy-animation pops up brielfy, but for my mobile.me calendars this animation is turning now for hours.
I installed Little-Snitch to monitor networking traffic and see whether there is an problem....... And indeed, when I de-activate/re-activate my mobile.me account in iCal synching starts and network traffic is heavy via our proxy here. Than at some point network traffic stops.... this is when the animation turns forever without synching.
I have the calender set on "pushing" changes.
Anyone an idea.
This is particular annoying since ALL my exchange accounts work fine :-(
Any ideas, suggestions and help is welcome.
I have set up all my account 5 times already, so please do not suggest that ......
Many thanks
Peter

There is a solution!!!
Well, it doesn't actually solve the selection problem itself, but it makes iCal lay out the events so that the problem never occurs in the first place. For me, this kills two birds with one stone.
1. Stop iCal, then open a Terminal window and enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.iCal IncludeDebugMenu 1
2. Restart iCal, and using the new Debug menu, disable the "Debug->Top Sekret->Use iPad Style Event Layout" option.
3. Flip back or forward a week with the controls to enable the new rendering mode. You'll see that the events are being rendered properly. This setting seems to be "sticky" and you only seem to need to do it once.
Thanks to OS X Daily for pointing out the existence of the debug menu in the first place.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

TS4036 icloud backup to new device is not working as says I dont have enough storage, even although the backup is only 3GB out of my 5GB (giving more than 1GB available!)???

back up from icloud to new device is not working as it is saying that I dont have enough storage, when I am only trying to use 3GB out of my 5GB allowance???

I may misunderstand your post - you "backup TO icloud" or restore from icloud to a new device. Not sure which of these you mean.
If backing up TO icloud, the problem may be that there's not enough storage on your device, not icloud, as a device needs a good bit of storage to create the backup.
If restoring from icloud to a new device and you get the error, the storage referenced must be that on the device, although that doesn't seem possible, since a device has more memory than 5GB.
