ICal not Sync with Palm

Hi
I have just purchased a Palm Tungsten E2. Installed the most recent Palm Desktop 4.2.1 software, via Palm's website and did several hotsync's to make sure it worked . I have managed to add the Palm to iSync and Syncing appeared to work (The iSnyc log states that
10:40:07 Connecting to paullefever,
then
10:40:07 Device "paullefever" connected.
In the iSync drop down box, I have Calenders ticked for both home and work.
However, when I sync, my iCal data had not been transferred, it does not appear on the Palm device.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Dear Michael
Thanks for your comprehensive response on how to fix Palm synching problems. I had already deleted Groups from my Address Book a couple of weeks ago, following advice from a user discussion somewhere, and it did indeed fix the problem I was having with synching with my Palm Treo 600. However, I may still follow your advice and buy the Missing Synch software so my Treo/Apple interface works better (e.g. so I can use Groups again) and can hold off on buying an iPhone a bit longer.
The reason I was revisiting Apple Discussions on this topic just now is that I have come across a weird problem while trying to get FoldersSynchronizer to update my bootable backup disk after my 10.5.x upgrade. The problem is that, after installing Leopard and doing the required things to get Palm synching working again, a symlink with an OS-X-Finder-incompatible name has appeared. (Which FoldersSynchronizer doesn't like, though Unix seems OK with it in Terminal.)
As the link is related both to Palm and iSync, it could conceivably have something to do with the unresolved synching problems you give workarounds for.
As this symlink was presumably created by Apple it should be reported to an appropriate Apple engineer, but I thought I might bounce this discovery off you first because you seem knowledgeable about these issues and may know whom to target at Apple. The offending symlink is
~/Library/Application\ Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/com.apple.Palm:3146679877
(the problem being, of course, the colon).

ICal not syncing with Palm Tungsten E

I had to reinstall my operating system to the original Tiger. I reinstalled my Palm Desk top and updated it to 4.2. and synced with the Palm. Then I did a combined update to 10.4.6 & iSync 2.2. I added the Palm devise and did the original sync with the isync button. When I went to sync again later as I had added dates on the Palm I used the hot sync on the Palm. The dates did not show up on the iCal. How do I resolve this issue?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Can you describe what you did a little more clearly? I understand that you reinstalled Mac OS X 10.4, the Palm Desktop 4.2.1—revision D, I presume, from a downloadable package obtained from Palm—then synchronized with the Palm Desktop. You then updated to Mac OS X 10.4.6 by applying a Mac OS Update package, and added your Tungsten E to iSync, presumably using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu. Is that correct?
When you first synchronized using iSync 2.2, did you choose the Merge the data in iCal and on your Palm, or did you choose to Replace the data on your Tungsten E?
Following your initial synchronization with iSync 2.2, you added, changed or deleted some events on your Tungsten, correct? And those modified records did not show up in iCal after yet another synchronization event, correct?
The reason that I ask these specific questions is that individuals use such terms as Palm, Palm Desktop, HotSync, iSync button and so on almost interchangeably. By Palm, for example, you could be referring to your device, the Palm Desktop package—including the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—installed on your computer, or simply the Palm Desktop contact and calendaring application alone. Depending upon what you are actually trying to convey, the issues and therefore, the resolution of those issues, can be very different.

Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation.
Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.

Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization. The latter account is for work. Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail.
When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined. First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization. I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD. This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine. After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does. Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts. Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os. I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo. The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc? I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

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.

Centro will not Sync with Palm Desktop

I have removed all Palm references from laptop as suggested in: Community Help Forums : Hardware & Software : Software : Re: Syncs fine -- missing all data in Desktop App with no luck.
( http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=35331&query.id=1042#M35331 )
I have a Windows Vista, downloaded Hotsync Manager 7.0.2 and all data (contacts/calendar) from Palm Centro will not appear in Palm Desktop. I have made sure that:
1. user name in Hotsync is the same as is in Palm Desktop
2. tried different user name (suggested "Test" ) with no luck
3. changed name of device through "prefs" icon (at least, in Bluetooth, Device Name is "Palm Centro") I am unable to find another option to change the name of the device for syncing purposes if it is not through Bluetooth
Any other suggestions? I have made entries into te Palm Desktop calendar, do a Hotsync and the entries from the Palm Desktop entries are not appearing into the Palm Centro, and the Centro's contacts and calendar entries are not showing up in the Palm Desktop.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreaciated!

Do you have the Centro set to sync with Microsoft Outlook by mistake? Look in Outlook and see if your info is there.
If it is, you can run a simple program in your Start/All programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Palm Desktop to switch it back.

Why is my iCal not syncing with my iPhone and iPad?

After upgrading to iOS5 and all the iCloud things, my iCal is not syncing with my iPhone or my iPad. I've tried all the setting, but cannot figure out what I'm doing or not doing that it won't sync. I checked the Cloud and the calendar is there. Can anyone help?

I had this problem, too. To reiterate, events on the iPad and iCloud were loading down into iCal on my Macbook Pro, but events I put on my MacBook Pro were not migrating back.
It comes down to which calendar the event is listed under. In iCal (right now) your default calendars are all local. If you change the event to an iCloud calendar, the migration is seamless. So, when you create an event, just scroll down in calendars, pick the iCloud equivalent to the "On my Mac" calendars (they're mirrored/duplicated) and it all works just fine.
I hope that helps.

ICal not syncing with iphone and 'unresponsive'

I am running the latest version of Leopard on my iMac.
I had to restore my iMac from a time machine backup recently, and since, my iCal will not sync with my iPhone (all the events are on my phone, not the desktop). The first time I tired, it said that my phone was synced with another account, so I selected to 'merge' information.
The information on my iPhone is fine and unchanged, but nothing shows up on my iCal. It's completely blank. When I try to quit iCal, it won't. I have to force quit it.

So I got on the phone with APP today and it turns out iCal was pretty messed up.
A bunch of the files for iCal were missing (com.apple.iCal.plist) and such.
Simple solution in the end:
Completely delete iCal (delete the icon from your applications folder) and reinstall iCal using your latest operating system disk (in my case, the OS X 10.5 disk). All my calendars, etc, where happily there after I reinstalled iCal.

Ical not syncing with new mobileme ical calendar

Morning All
I have been using mobileme now for sometime and i have not encounted any sync problems until recently.
The problem has started since i have upgraded the ical calendar in mobileme, i can sync my iphone with mobileme ical but ical on my mac will not sync with the new calendar on mobile me.
i am not sure what i am doing wrong any help would be much appreciated.

The exact same thing happened to me. Everything is seamless before the calendar upgrade, now after the upgrade MobileMe is not worth paying a dime for. The web-based calendar and devices seem totally disconnected from the iCal and Entourage.
I tried everything there is to be done and nothing worked

ICal not syncing with Exchange calender in OS X 10.10.2

iCal is not syncing with an Exchange-based calendar with the OSX 10.10.2 update on my 2012 Macbook Air.
Any calendar events added since the software update are not replicated to the main Exchange account, nor are new events made in other calendar programs replicated back to iCal. This includes calendar events made on the Apple Calendar app on an iPhone 6/iOS 8.1. iCal shows events made before the software update, just none after. Google Apps-based calendars in iCal are not effected, only Exchange-based ones.
I have deleted and re-authorized the Exchange calendar in the Calendar applications on the Mac and the iPhone, and this problem still exists. My workaround is to abandon iCal and to use BusyCal 2 for OSX, which does sync with the Exchange-based calendar. BusyCal 2 does sync with iPhone Calendar, so the issue is specifically iCal in 10.10.2
1. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
2. Does anyone have a potential solution?
Thanks in advance,
Wayan

Hey everyone, thanks to this thread, we now have a solution. Or at least it worked for me.
Clear Calendar Cache:
1. Go to system preferences and open internet accounts. Selected the Exchange account and turn off calendar.
2. Close iCal and any other calendar application you might have running
3. In Finder, go to HD/Users/User Name/Library/Calendars and delete the Calendar Cache files (may need to empty Recycle Bin)
4. Restart iCal, which will rebuild the caches
5. Turn on your Exchange calendar

IPhone 4 iCal not synced with MBP after ios5

Bit baffled as to why my iPhone 4 calendar is not synced with my MBP calendar anymore. The tab under Summary in iTunes is checked to syc over WIFI and the phone and MBP are sharing the same network. I even manually plugged the phone into the MBP and backed up to the MBP but the calendars are still not in sync
I must be missing something

Now sorted, I think the issue was not having all the calendars selected in 'Show all calendars' in the iPhone, now I have All iCloud; Home and Work selected and everything is synching across between the MBP and the iPhone

Published iCal will not sync with Palm device

I had been synching my iCal to my Palm device. I recently published my iCal calendar and To Do list on .Mac. Now I can no longer make changes to my calendar on iCal, nor can I see any To Do's. When I tried to sync my Palm device, all calendar and To Do items were deleated from the Palm. Can anyone help? I have now spent several hours trying to recreate my calendar and to do list. Needless to say, I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with the way the iCal publish function works. One solution might be to 'unpublish' the calendar, so that I can manage it from iCal on my mac again, but I can't find how to do that.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Kim or Mike,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Before you do anything else, make sure that you use the iCal>File>Back up Database... feature.
In regard to recreating the calendar, if you open the web version of the calendar you can use the "Download" link on the web page to get the calendar on your desktop. Then use iCal to import the download: iCal>File>Import...
Then, after clicking on the published calendar in the source window, if you wish to Unpublish, use the iCal>Calendar>Unpublish... feature.
Since I do not use the Palm, I am unable to address that aspect of your question/problem.

Ical not syncing with outlook..

my ical is not synching with outlook which I have just started using..
I have tried resetting sync history ..
any other suggetions ??

Yes. Calendar and Contacts is selected. Just can't get any calendar entries to sync between iCal and Outlook.
If I enter a calendar entry into Outlook, the only way I can then get it across iCal is to drag and drop the entry into the iCal icon on the Dock, which is manual to say the least.
I've double-checked all my SyncService settings over and over again.
Any thoughts??

ICal not syncing with iPhone and MobileMe, tasks

I have iPhone, MobileMe, and iCal on my Mac.
I have no problems sending calendar events between iPhone and MobileMe, and Address Book in my computer.
I have a problem with iCal- it just doesn't sync with anything, even though MobileMe is set for it.
I called apple customer service, they told me I have this problem because I had MobileMe as a trial, but it still is a problem, after I purchased year subscription.
Also I don't know how do tasks, or to-do list work. There is a basic list on iCal- that one also does not sync.
thanks

appreciate the responses... and jumping in here with possibly a similar problem
iCal issue - Where are they hiding?
Posting here as this is the closest I can find to my issue..
Two, maybe more, Birthday Events appear on my iPhone but not on/in iCal on my macbook.
Tried clearing the iphone and resyncing. Same condition.
Tried removing the cache from iCal and resyncing using the replace calendar option in iTunes. Still no good. Have checked the the full listing of all events on iCal.
Where can these two events be hiding ? Not a huge deal, but now really curious.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
