ICal not publishing to MobileMe

Simple problem:
Trying to publish my home calendars to MoblieMe.
When I select a calendar from ON MY MAC, then select CHANGE LOCATION and choose PUBLISH ON MOBILEME, then hit PUBLISH ... it says the calendar has been published.
But when I choose VISIT PAGE, I get a dialogue box with the message "We're sorry but we cannot find the iCal you've requested. It's possible that it has been deleted or renamed."
Sure enough, no matter how many times I hit SYNC or PUBLISH (in any number of ways) ... the calendar never shows up.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks muchly,

Unfortunately, I am also seeing this annoying Apple bug.... Published an iCal calendar to the web, to "MobileMe" as iCal offers, whereupon it proudly announces the URLs to subscribe or view the calendar... each link leads to:
We're sorry but we cannot find the iCal you've requested.
It's possible that it has been deleted or renamed.
A similar false announcement is made when you publish a movie from iMovie to YouTube, where Apple announces the movie is published and you wait an hour assuming YouTube it taking its time, only to find out the movie never uploaded. That one can blame on YouTube (third party) making some change Apple (still?) does not know about... but iCal on a Mac publishing to an Apple service giving the same false positives is beyond lame.

ICal not Synching w/ MobileMe

Ok, so I have been using iCal on my Mac for years and everything has been working fine. I am able to view and update the calendars remotely using my two iphones and www.me.com. Recently, I have been adding and making changes to the calendars in iCal, but none of the changes are synching with MobileMe. I have tried automatic and manual syncs, but nothing works. Originally, I thought it was an iPhone issue that I could not see new events on the phone, however, even when I go out to the calendar at www.me.com, the new events are not showing up their either. The new events, however, are showing up when I publish a new version of the calendar, but not through MobileMe. I am thinking it is an iCal to MobileMe issue. Any suggestions?

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.

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 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.

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?

Ical not publishing to dotmac--new information

Hello, I have been having a hard time with icalendar not publishing on dotmac. It started happening suddenly on my upgrade to 10.5.2.
The dotmac support people have been responding to my inquiries with the following suggestions (eached bumped to a higher level):
1) unpublish and republish--nope doesn't work
2) corrupted file, remake the calendar (which means re enter every entry)
3) the most recent is that my file size (1.9 mbytes) can't be published on ical.
Has anyone heard this before? It is news to me, and google and forum searches have not indication of a limit to ical file sizes for dotmac publication.
Now it seems my choices are:
1) Try to find a way to bulk delete old events (there have been some messed up syncs with missing sync that have created a lot of repeated events). There are literally thousands of individual events that have to be deleted over the 5 years I have been using ical.
2) Re enter my dates in a new calendar going forward and publish that new calendar. Frankly, that seems easiest, but I have to admit being peeved at the undocumented file limit.
It is not a matter of my idisk size or anything like that. According to the tech " and can see that it has a file size of 2 MB. I'm sorry, but your calendar is too large to be rendered on a web browser. iCal publishing is intended primarily for personal use, and not as a means of publishing such a large and complex schedule.
I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. To decrease the size and complexity of your calendars, you might consider decreasing the event repetition, or splitting the events from one calendar into several smaller calendars."
So, anyone have any pointers?

I'm also having this problem. Lots of things seem to be broken in 10.5.5. I see that iCal last published my calendar in August 2008. Spotlight no longer seems to be indexing iPhoto. I wonder what else doesn't work. Most aggravating is that Apple never seems to acknowledge these problems. As mysteriously as they came, they might go away. It just works => That's just the way it works!

Why does ical not sync to MobileMe?

Since Lion, iCal is syncing only the first 4-5 events after adding the MobileMe Account.
After that, the syncing whell is running endless.
Specs are:
MobileMe:
6 x Calendars, 5 are published and shared with other Mac Users
Shared with other Users:
3 x Calendars
Abonemment:
2 x Calendars (Birthday by system and Calendar week)
Replicate problem:
I erased the entire account from iCal and from MobileMe on the Mac as well. After that I added the Mobile Me Account and the MobileMe Account at iCal. iCal synced all events accuratley but after the creation of further 4-5 events, iCal hangs by a running wheel to sync to Mobile Me. I can create further Events but it doesn't make sense, because the events will not be synced through mobiel me for my other iOS devices like iPohne and iPad.
Events created in iOS via iPhone or iPad will be synced between those devices through MobileMe but iCal doesn't sync.
Who knows help. Remember: I did erase the entire account and set it up new: doesn't help.
Comments?

Hi All
The MobileMe senior advisor resolved my problem! Thanks so much Cxxxx!
Here the instructions:
1. Open Terminal and use this command to copy the Calendars folder from ~/Library to your Desktop:
cp -r ~/Library/Calendars ~/Desktop
2. Open Disk Utility and create a new Disk Image from the Calendars folder on your Desktop by selecting File > New > Disk Image from Folder and then choosing the Calendars folder on your Desktop.
3. Save the new Disk Image to your Desktop as well.
4. Double-click the Calendars.dmg to open it.
5. In the new window that appears choose View > Show Toolbar from the Finder View menu.
6. In the Search field on the Toolbar enter "%" (without quotation marks).
7. Select "Filename contains %" when prompted by the Search pop-up.
8. Make sure the Search location is set to Calendars.
9. Then open the ICS files returned in a text editor such as BBEdit or TextEdit.
10. Locate the SUMMARY field (that's the event name).
11. Note the affected event name(s) in a text editor.
12. Lookup the affected events one by one in iCal. Note the date of the events in the same document that has the name(s).
13. Quit iCal when all the event dates are collected.
14. Go to me.com/calendar
15. Delete all iterations of matched events from me.com/Calendar
Once the problematic events have been deleted, you will then be able to sync to your iCal application without issue. Once syncing has been restored, you can then add back any events that you need to.
Hope that helps!
Life is good again

ICal not synching on MobileMe

Using 10.5.7. I have successfully synched Ical and Address Book for quite some time. Now synching is not working correctly. I reset the data to replace the info on Mobile Me with the data on my computer. The synch appeared to work right, but on Mobile Me I'm getting the message "MobileMe is unable to load your calendar." I have quit MobileMe and reloaded but get the same message.

I just had the same problem! Ical events would not sync with my computer or mobile me. FIRST FIRST make a back-up of your address book!! address book>file>export>address book archive>desktop. I say this because I didnt and lost it all with the step to fix it. Luckily I had a backup on a third Mac. Anyway, go to IPHONE settings and delete your mobileme mail account. Next create a new account (same name and password) in iphone mail settings >add account. It should sync pretty quickly. The inability to sync only happened after I updated to the new MMS software.----* How I retrieved my data from third Mac??? BEFORE syncing( I always set sync manually in case something like this happens. )I went to my mac settings>mobileme>sync>advanced(lower rt corner)>reset sync data>highlight arrow GOING to cloud>replace. This send my data from third mac to cloud and all contacts and ical events pop up on my iphone.

Ical not syncing to mobileme after upgrade

upgraded to new mobileme calendar. i cannot get my calendar to show up in mobileme. i have already tried resetting and syncing from my computer to mobileme. stuff on my computer calendar still does not show up. it will sync from mobileme to the computer. so do i just do all my calendar stuff on mobileme from now on?

I've put everything over to my MobileMe account in iCal, restarted my computer, made sure my account info is correct in iCal for MM, and it's syncing, but it's SO SLOW I've been at this all day and it's synced maybe 1.5 calendars. They aren't big at all. The biggest calendar I have is about 150 events and it's a baseball schedule. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process? It doesn't seem like it should take this long!

IWeb not publishing to MobileMe

Hi there
Every time I go to publish my website to MobileMe in iWeb it tells me to sign in.
I've done some research on this and the only thing I can find is messing around with the keychain.
This is what I've done
Apple Menu > MobileMe and clicked on sign out and close the window
Go to the Finder and go to > Utilities > Keychain Access
Delete the MobileMe keychain and close the window
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer:
Your User > Library > Caches > com.apple.iWeb
Your User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWeb
Your User > Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.iWeb
Once the computer is restarted Go to Apple Menu > MobileMe and sign back in to your account.
All this lets me do is get to the stage asking if I have the correct permissions to publish what I'm about to publish, then I get that pop up again saying sign into mobile me or sign up for a free trial.
This is driving me mad, how can something thats advertised to work faultlessly together be so incompatible. Has anyone else had this problem?

Macbook Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
asking if I have the correct permissions to publish what I'm about to publish
This is referring to the copyright of any media you might be using in the site. It only happens the first time you publish (unless you don't check the checkbox to not do so or you delete the iWeb preference file).
Did you try logging out of MMe in the System Preferences, then log in with a bogus username and password and then again with the correct username and password? Give it a try if you haven't.

Ical not pushing from mobileme to ipod touch

I've recently upgraded my ipod touch and switched from .mac to mobileme. My calendars are syncing OK between my mac and the "cloud" but none of the calendar data is raining down into my ipod touch. I've gone into the touch's system prefs, chosen my .mac account and turned on calendar syncing (the spoke ball spins for a few seconds to say its turning on calendar) but no calendars show up. I've tried turning it off and on again but still nothing. Do I have to go back to using itunes sync with wired connection to get my calendar to show on my ipod?

probably music sync is not open in itunes,go in itunes,select ipod,select music(you have there summary,music, video,etc.) and turn on music sync then go in summary and press sync and it must work

Not publishing on MobileMe!! HELP!

Hi!
I used to work with iWeb 08, and there was an option to publish my website to a folder in order to use different domains than mobile me or .mac.
Now I can't find this function and I can't publish the changes on the web!
Does anybody know how to do this on iWeb 09??
Thanks!!!!

Thanks!!! its all good now!!

How do I publish an iCal calendar now that MobileMe is inactive?

I was publishing a calendar to share with some friends using iCal and MobileMe. Now that MM is not available, updating that calendar is no longer possible. So I tried to unpublish it, but was not allowed, only could leave it on the server. Now I can't publish again because the only option is on MobileMe in iCal (Version 5.0.3 (1605.3)). And there doesn't seem to ba an update yet. Am I missing something?
I got the following when I tried to re-publish my calendar on MobileMe:
The calendar “Name” couldn’t be published.
The request for calendar failed.
The server responded with “503”

I have a similar problem, albeit for different reasons. My calendar at work is on MS Exchange, which only supports "On My Mac" calendars, not "iCloud" calendars. I was able to publish my work calendar for use on my devices outside the office using iCal calendar publishing through MobileMe. (As an alternative to jumping through several layers of security when I'm not in the office just to see my own calendar!) But that no longer works, MS doesn't support synching to iCloud calendars so I'm not sure how to do this now that Apple has killed iDisk/MobileMe.
I think there would be an opportunity for someone to either write an Exchange to calDAVE widgit or to to offer a hosting service for former MobileMe calendars...

IWeb not updating to MobileMe

hello everyone. I have never posted to this forum before and I am relatively new to macs, so please go easy on me if I come off sounding like an idiot.
I have a webpage that I had previously published through my .mac account. After the update from .mac to MobileMe, my computer can't seem to publish my page. When I click the menu items in iWeb, there are still options that say "publish to .mac" and "publish all to .mac" and NOT "publish to MobileMe." I have checked for new updates to the iWeb software, but the software updater says everything is up to date.
Is there something I need to change within iWeb to make it communicate with MobileMe or is this a central Apple issue? I should mention that I have been able to log into MobileMe and my addresses, calendar, etc. has updated to MobileMe just fine.
I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!!

These issues are happening for everyone it seems. The whole reason I subscribed to the .Mac (MobileMe) service was to be able to use iWeb and publish my own personal site. I'm not a big fan of the Web 2.0 (Facebook, MySpace, etc.), so using this service was a no brainer for me to keep my family and friends updated in the lives of my boys and I without all the work and drama of the other sites.
Anyhow, I know that although my pages are actually publishing, it is quite annoying to be getting the error messages. It's just a constant reminder that Apple still doesn't have things working the way that they should.
I'm sure they will have a fix soon as I'm sure that there are quite a HUGE number of customers out there who are actively seeking out other alternatives.
This situation is annoying, disappointing, and very unprofessional on Apple's part and I'm just a Ms. Everyday Person. I can only imagine these emotions are intensified for those of you who do rely on these services for professional purposes.

Cannot publish to MobileMe. Error says, "iWeb couldn't connect to MobileMe. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again." Connection is OK!

My site will publish to a folder, but will not publish to MobileMe. Error says, “iWeb couldn’t connect to MobileMe. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again.“ Connection is OK!

Thank you Alancito for your reply. The recent post you suggested was not necessary because another of your suggestions did the trick: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11503337#11503337 In effect, it seems to have reestablished my connection to my MobileMe account, and my iWeb site now publishes on MobileMe.
My next step will be to transfer my iWeb site to another Personal Web Provider when MobileMe ceases to exist next June. Any recommendations for a simple PWP?
Thank you very much,
William Oglesby
