ICal no longer synchronising with MobileMe

My wife has an iMac and a MacBook both synchronising with (and via) MobileMe. Both Intel machines are running Snow Leopard.
All were synchronising perfectly, including iCal, until as requested by MobileMe, I upgraded to the New Calendar.
Now only the Imac synchronises correctly. TheMacBook returns a pop-up stating that the iCal has "either wrong ID login OR wrong Password" !
(Le serveur n’a pas reconnu votre nom d’utilisateur ou votre mot de passe pour le compte « [email protected] ». Assurez-vous de les avoir correctement saisis.)
I have stopped the synchronisation and cancelled the iDisk synchronising.
Then connected again at the level of MacBook and logged again to the account. And synchronised again. It states first login for the calander.
The MacBook synchronises but the calendar returns the error.
My wife's account is sub (family) account of my main MobileMe account.
Help me please as I really don't understand nor do I know what to do !
Regards,
Kevin in France

Thanks for the effort and response. I was able to contact Apple Help and I downgraded back to the old mobileme iCal. The new mobileme iCal is very inflexible. The Month header takes a huge font. Fonts on appointments can't be changed and, as a result, appointments can be seen in their entirety. There are other very irritating things about the new iCal and my conclusion is that it's just a very weak attempt at Outlook and has a long way to go before it's usable. I just hope Apple doesn't cut us off the "old" calendar which works very well (and has for some time now)

ICal don't sincronize with MobileMe? somebody knows?

iCal don't sincronize with MobileMe? somebody knows?

Please post your system details when you have a question - and more detail would help: it's difficult to give a cogent answer when the question is as vague as this.
If you haven't upgraded to the new MobileMe calendar then you should: it's no longer optional: please see
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/calendarsync.html
If you are using Leopard or Tiger please particularly note the comments regarding those systems.

ICal synchronisation with MobileMe

Hi,
It seams that MobileMe doesn't synchronize the calendar events that are coming from Google, which are present locally on my iCal calender.
Did one of you solve the issue already, or is it simply not possible?
Thank you for your answer.

ICal no longer syncing to MobileMe

I need to access the same calendar on numerous devices. After installing Lion on my main computer, I verified that my iCal calendar was correct and functioning and proceeded to set up the calendar in MobileMe. I noticed that with Lion, the option to select a checkbox for Calendars is no longer in the MobileMe section of system prefs. However, there is now a Mail, Contacts & Calendars section.
In Preferences in iCal, I made sure my MobileMe account was listed under Accounts, and it is and it's active. I've also bublished the calendar to MobileMe. However, it still doesn't show in MobileMe. I have made sure I haven't missed something small like selecting a calendar so it's not hidden, etc. The only calendar in MobileMe is called Untitled (I must had added this new one a while ago after deleting the old one). That calendar shows up in iCal. So apparently it's downloading Me calendars and not uploading my iCal calendar.
Grateful for any suggestions.

Works for my almost instanly i create a ical event in my computer it shows in mobileme in the browser,are you creating new events in mobileme home as show below::

HT2969 Why does my iCal dates not synchronise with Blackberry?

Please help; I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and I downloaded on my MacBook Pro the Mac Version of Blackberry Desktop manager to be able to synch with my iCal events on my Macbook Pro. The synch works however every All-Day event is being put into my Blackberry calendar a day later than it is meant to be. I tested an Entourage event; imported it into iCal and then synchronised and then it was on the right day. The problem is I need to use iCal as my primary point of event entry because I use it with my iPad.
Has anyone experienced this and found a way around it?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Ical no longer syncs with isync or .mac

Ical on my PowerBook G4 no longer syncs with .mac or via isync. When I open ical, none of the events on the calendars display. After moving between "month" and "week" I can get the events to display. When I sync, I receive a window saying " Can't synchronize calendars and To Do items to iCal: device is not available." This is not the same as the message normally received when an external device such as an ipod is not connected. Bookmarks and Address Book are synchronizing without problem. Anybody out there experienced something similar? I have tried throwing away the ical preferences .plist from the library but that has not helped.

I don't have Panther available anymore so I'm shooting in the dark. You might try to stop syncing and then turn syncing back on (the idea is to break the connection and start new) Be sure to have a backup of anything you can't lose.
You might also try trashing iSync preferences.

Calendar entries slow and no longer synchronising with iCloud and devices

I have a MacBook Pro Retina, Maverick IOS 10.9.2 is the master. Why do new calendar entries no longer sync with other devices and why is there a coloured bubble and I have to wait for an entry to be in the the calendar for about 30 seconds time? Before, new items could be put into the calendar very fast. I have this problem since a few days. Everything else (email, contacts etc.) are synchronising well. I habe checked if there is a tick and everthing looks ok to me. Thank you for your help.

I use gmail for my calender so I sync calender to gmail and icloud. Right now, neither are showing up in calender on iphone.
I did have gmail notes syncing as well as Icloud notes, but turned that off last night in case that was causing the confusion. It hasn't resolved the notes problem.
Any ideas? It does seem a bit odd.

ICal not syncing correctly with MobileMe

For the last week or so, ever since MobileMe was being updated, my iCal synching with MobileMe and iPhone has stopped working correctly. When I enter a meeting into iCal, it syncs to MobileMe and therefore my iPhone.
HOWEVER, any new calendar entries from the iPhone (or MobileMe's website directly), do not show up on iCal even after i try to manually Sync them. Furthermore, if I change the time of a meeting or call on iCal, a DUPLICATE meeting is created in MobileMe, thus polluting my calendar on the iPhone and MobileMe with multiple entries. When I am on the road, I can't figure out which is the correct meeting anymore.
Not sure if this is due to new iTunes or the update with MobileMe servers last week.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot this to date:
- In MobileMe preferences, I stopped synching my MacBook with MobileMe and wiped out all of the data on MobileMe. I rebooted my MacBook, then, I Reset Sync Data from iCal to MobileMe. It seeded fine, but still doesn't show any appointments created from the iPhone or within MobileMe on my iCal after re-syncing.
- I deleted my MobileMe account on my iPhone. Rebooted iPhone. Re-added my MobileMe account to the iphone and synched the calendar. The calendar syncs and shows up, but still no appointments created on my iPhone or within MobileMe show on my iCal.
- I have also tried to NARROW the variables of my issue by not synching ANYTHING ELSE other than iCal (no contacts, mail settings etc.). To No avail, still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?? I sense there is something cached in the bowels of my iCal settings, but have no idea to re-set them to re-enable synching.

I solved the issue. I took a risk and wiped my MobileMe account clean one last time, then RESET SYNCH Data from my MacBook to MobileMe.
Then, I crossed my fingers and deleted my calendars on my iCal desktop.
I then, chose RESET SYNCH Data FROM MobileMe TO MacBook pro - effectively overwriting my iCal with the same data I just uploaded into MobileMe.
The result? Everything started working again. I added meetings to my calendar with my iPhone and they showed up on my iCal Desktop (MacBook). Yeah!

After upgrading to Lion, iCal doesn't sync with MobileMe

After my upgrade to the new Lion OS X, the iCal doesn't sync properly with MobileMe; events from MobileMe will go to iCal but they will not go from iCal to MobileMe.
In System Preferences/Internet & Wireless/Mail, Contacts & Calendars: I've tried reinstalling MobileMe and checking the Calendar & Reminders box, but that didn't work.
In System Preferences/Internet & Wireless/MobileMe: It doesn't show a calendar. Clicked sync now, but that didn't work.
Any suggestions?

Tanner,
In System Preferences/Internet & Wireless/MobileMe: It doesn't show a calendar. Clicked sync now, but that didn't work.
I have not seen, nor am I aware of that setting in System Preferences.
(Option + Click) on the Sync Icon in the Menu bar. If you do not see Sync status in the Menu bar, go to System Preferences...>MobileMe>Sync>...and check the "Show Sync status in menu bar.
You will see these selections:
Try the "Open Sync Diagnostics..." selection and you may get some clues.
If that is unsuccessful, backup your calendars and choose Reset Sync Services...

ICal and subscribed calendars with MobileMe using AppleScript

I am having the same problem as many of you; I have a MobileMe account which does not sync the calendars I have in iCal that are subscriptions. I found this great script online which I'll post below. I don't know anything about AppleScript so I'm just copy-pasting. I want it to work, but I'm getting the error "The variable theOldEvent is not defined." right around the line "if similar_found is true then set theOldSummary to the summary of theOldEvent" kinda near the middle. Like I said, I don't know anything about AppleScript. So my question is; how can I fix this error and/or is there some better way of using AppleScript/Automator to do this same thing? Thanks!

Why does iCal no longer sync with BusyCal (and vice/versa)?

My Calender application is BusyCal. I have Mac OS X 10.8.2. BusyCal is version 2.0.1. Until recently, when I entered something in BusyCal, the same information appeared in iCal. When I entered something on my iPhone in iCal, the same information appeared in BusyCal on my iMac. - Everything was perfect.
This is no longer the case. I asked the BusyCal developpers. Here what they replied:
"I'm sorry, but Apple deprecated Mac OS X Sync Services in 10.8, there is nothing BusyMac can do to work around this (in either 1.6 or 2.0)"
Who can help? - Thanks!
Peterfromwinterthur

Fortunately I have found a solution and resolved the problem: i learned how to sync via iCloud:
in iBooks i found the e-book "Take Control of Calender Syncing and Sharing With BusyCal".
I followed the easy written instructions step by step. Now, with iCloud, BusyCal syncs again with iCal (Calender)! And the Calender information on my Calenders on my iPhone and my iPad are both up to date.
I am happy and thank you all!

ICal no longer syncing with iPhone

My iCal has suddenly stopped syncing with my iPhone and I have tried everything to get it to work again, with no luck. I do not use iCloud and sync through iTunes.
The operating system on my computer is Mountain Lion, my iPhone is a 4S with iSO 5.1.1 and I am using iTunes 11.0.1.
Does anyone know what could be causing my syncing to suddenly stop? Everything else on my computer is syncing with my iPhone.

You can no longer sync via iTunes. That method of sync was removed (and the 1000+ post thread is arguments over things tangientally related to that).
You need to sync via other means than iTunes, then.
One option is to use iCloud. If you sign into iCloud on all your devices, and then make sure your calendars are in the "iCloud" section on your devices, they should sync.
If you don't want to use iCloud, you could use Google calendars, they operate much the same way (but may be less reliable).
Or if you use Exchange for work, you could sync that way.
Or if none of those are acceptable, you could install OS X Server and set up the calendar server on your local network and use it to sync. This is fairly straightforward "for setting up a UNIX calendar server" but it's not trivial and beyond the scope of a forum post to explain it all

Permanently selfduplicating contacts in adress book, iCal no longer syncs with Outlook

From one Day to the next my mac stopped syncing my outlook calendar with iCal. I tried to reset sync; deleted prefs; deleted cache files, nothing worked for me. Not all of the outlook calandar groups appeared in iCal, now after the calendar groups don't even appear in iCal anymore. I use Outlook 2011 with OSX 10.5.8 (i have to use this as long as we don't get a new database in our company.
Now I realized that one adress in adressbook starts to duplicate itself hundreds of times.
What can i do? How do I stop the selfduplicating adress and how can I fix the sync between Outlook and iCal.
Thx

It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!

ICal no longer syncing via MobileMe correctly

Hello,
I was hoping someone might be able to help. Ever since the upgrade to MobileMe for iCal, syncing has become an issue on the iPad (on the iPhone 4 it works fine). For some reason, only my subscribed events will show up on the iPad, and all my other calendars do not so up in the calendar list what so ever.
I have turned syncing off in the settings for MobileMe on the iPad and turned it back on again but it has had no effect. Any other suggestions would be welcome!
Regards,
Graeme

1. Fire up your Mac and connect the iPad.
2. Open iTunes and confirm that you are NOT syncing via the cable. Change settings as appropriate. When finished, disconnect the iPad and power it down.
3. Open iCal on the Mac and confirm that the events are correct. Add/delete events as appropriate. Quit from iCal.
4. Open System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync
5. Click on "Advanced" and then click on your Mac when it shows up.
6. Click on "Reset Sync Data"
7. At the top, Replace: Calendars
8. Click the right-pointing arrow so that the complete text states: "Replace Calendars on MobileMe with sync info from this computer."
9. Click "Replace"
10. You're finished with the Mac. Power up the iPad and give it time to resync to MobileMe and you're good to go.
