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.

  • ICal no longer syncing with .Mac between Leopard and previous OS

    hi,
    Two Mac's, both new-ish. When I had the previous OS running on both, my iCal syncing worked great through .Mac. However, I have recently upgraded to Leopard on just one of these machines. Now, the machine with the previous OS will not sync to the one running Leopard, however, the Leopard one will sync to the other one.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks so much!

    I was having the same problems you describe and after trying suggestions from a variety of posts in the discussion forum, here's what worked for me because simply unregistering and resetting sync data didn't solve the problem.
    While I'm sure a few steps could be left out, what seemed to make all the difference was
    a. getting rid of groups of calendars and
    b. not simply reseting the data but deleting and reimporting it from the "master" computer
    1. I made sure one of my computers had complete and updated calendars (the iBook running 10.5.1)
    2. I had clustered my calendars into sub-groups, so I ditched that level of organization so everything was on the same level and created a backup database (thus my iBook became my "master")
    3. I exported each of my calendars individually (i.e. "Home.ics" "Work.ics" etc.)
    4. On the Mini (running 10.4.11), I deleted all my calendars (except for my subscriptions) and unregistered the Mini from .Mac syncing
    5. I imported each of the calendar from the iBook into iCal on my Mini so that I had the same data on both computers
    6. After restarting both machines for good measure, I reset the iCal sync data on .Mac using the info on my iBook, then registered my Mini, and reset the iCal using data from .Mac to overwrite the Mini
    7. I rebooted again, set up test events (in different calendars) on each computer, synchronized, and voila!

  • Ical no longer syncs with macbook

    so with the option to sync to the new super duper icloud, there is no longer any sync with the macbook, even though i have "sync with this ipad over wifi" checked.
    is there something else i need to do to get the ipad and macbook to sync properly?
    i synced the old way, but now of course have three of everything. the option in itunes to replace the ipad's calendar contents with the macbook's didn't work either.
    god, what a mess.
    any pointers would be very much appreciated.

  • 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

  • Outlook no longer syncing with iPhone and Mac??

    I was formerly syncing Outlook with iPhone just fine on my Mac...now it's not working!!  I think I had to do something via iCal.  Whatever it was it's not working and need help ASAP!  (no need for iCloud and know that does not work!!!)

    I have the same problem too. My iphone is not syncing with my addressbook on the mac, no matter what I try, it is very very frustrating!!

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Why does my Ical no longer sync with my computer?

    When I put a new appointment on my iPhone ICal, it no longer appears in my Computer ICal. I have checked all the settings on my phone, and they are enabled, so I don't know what is going wrong. My computer is also connected to ICloud.  It worked fine before I sent overseas, but has not worked since I have got home.

    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 syncing with Google.

    I am using Snow Leopard.  Everything was fine and then poof. Error message reads:  The calendar (https://google.com/calendar/etc. etc.) was not found on the server.  Make sure the URL is correct." The URL is correct.  I am given the options to Go Offline or Revert to Server.
    I've checked my Google Calendar settings and iCal settings.  What am I missing, folks?

    the same is happening to me.
    All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
    My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
    Any ideas anyone ?

  • 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.

    FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

  • ICal and Address Book no longer syncing with iPhone - HELP!

    HELP!
    I am a long time Apple user and rely heavily on my iPhone to keep me where I need to be, when I need to be there. I have an iPhone 4 and it is running OS 6.0.1. Everything was working fabulously until recently. Sadly I don't know when the problems started--when I updated to OS 6 OR when I updated iTunes to version 11. Either way, my iCal and Address Book no longer sync with my iPhone. And to add insult to injury, my phone is no longer automatically detecting the AT&T microcell I have in my house. I have to reboot my phone every time I come back in the house--talk about annoying.
    I am not super techy, so I am hoping someone can help me with this. I LIVE by my iPhone and as a self-employed person, I can't afford for this device to stop giving me information. I also don't want to do entries on my phone AND computer everytime something changes. I do not want to go back to the more reliable paper calendar and address book.
    I have iCloud turned on, and it appears to sync my address book with my iPhone. But I seem to be a mess with iCal and my desktop. And between iCal/Adress Book on my computer and iPhone, nothing is talking.

  • No longer syncs with iCal

    Since upgrading to itunes 7 and updating the ipod software, my ipod no longer syncs with my iCal calendars - despite having the option selected to do so. I have tried restoring from scratch to no avail. It does work if I copy the calendars manually into the folder on my iPod, but this is a bit of a hassle. Anyone else seen this? I updated to itunes 7.01 today and it still does it.
