Ical not syncing with Mac.

I can't seem to get my ical to sync between my iphone and Mac. I would like to use the restore however, whilst my itunes tells me it backs up to the computer I cannot locate the information. I do not wish to use icloud

Hi Tayfit -
I searched this question and found a solution that worked for me on another forum here. I use OS 10.6.8 on an iMac with Intel Core, and an iPhone 4. I do not wish to use iCloud for syncing either. I had many duplication problems when I attempted to use iCloud, in contacts and in ical, so I deleted for days and dropped the iCloud. My iPhone does seem to sync with iCal on the iMac, but the iMac calendars didn't all sync with the iPhone. I use iTunes to sync. Here is what I did:
In the folder /users/<---YOUR USERNAME--->/Library/Calendars, I deleted "Calendar Cache" and "Calendar Sync Changes" ....
That's all I did. I had tried the terminal reset option listed in the Apple Support questions, but that was to address the screw up post iCloud use, and that didn't fix my issue.
Best of luck. I hope this helps you.

ICal not syncing with Mac Pro running Lion

I installed Lion so I could sync all my devices. I don't see my iCal events on iCloud, and, naturally, they are not showing up on my iPhone, or my iPad. If I go the iCloud on in my prefrences panel, it just takes me to the website, where there doesn't seem to be settings for iCal activation. What to do?

On the iPhone and iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the devices.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect then restart your Mac.

IPhone iCal not syncing with Mac iCal

Hi there.
When I create a new event on my iPhone in iCal, it doesn't appear on my mac's iCal.
Anyone can help?
In settings, mail, contacts, calendars, I have "all events" for sync, yet I have that issue.
Thaks to anyone who can help

Is this a Lion problem?
When I go to Systems Prefs> MobileMe> Sync (the list of items to sync) the Calendar options is in the list, then disappears. This looks like a bug to me. And yes, I can replicate it.

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 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

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 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.

Gmail not syncing with .Mac

Hi,
I am having an issue with Gmail and Mail that I can't find a solution to anywhere and I am hoping that someone here can provide some insight.
I use Mail.app on a G5 and an iBook and use .Mac to keep mail, calendar and addresses in-sync b/w the two. I have 4 email accounts set up in Mail.app: DotMac, Gmail, Qwest.net and another POP account. All of them work sync fine b/w the two machines except for Gmail. I can receive Gmail on either machine without any problem. The trouble begins when I receive Gmail on one machine, sync with .Mac, and then go to the other machine and sync with .Mac there. The Gmail email that I received on the first machine and already read doesn't show up on the new machine. However, the other email addresses all do this just fine. Does it have something to do with the way Gmail's POP service works? I have Gmail set to archive emails. Does that matter?
I would greatly appreciate any help. This has been killing me!
Thnx!
Brian
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Brian.
First of all, .Mac doesn’t synchronize locally stored mail between computers. Only mail stored on the server can be synchronized, and you don’t need .Mac for that; any IMAP account would do. If you can see mail received on your POP accounts on both computers, it’s because they’re both downloading it from the server, not because of any .Mac synchronization.
Moreover, Gmail POP access doesn’t work as a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies:
1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
2. To make already downloaded Gmail messages available for POP access again, you must log into your Gmail account with a web browser and re-enable POP downloading for all your messages, which will cause everything (and I mean everything) still there to be downloaded again.
3. Any Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. The reason is that, after being downloaded, those messages are no longer available to any mail client, not even to the same client that has just downloaded them, not even for deleting them or checking whether they are still there.
4. Messages created and sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were incoming messages. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent -- as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one POP mail client, that is.
5. Messages created and sent using a POP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in 4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. They would, however, be downloaded if Gmail settings were changed as described in 2 above.
6. As a particular case of 5, messages sent to yourself will appear in your Inbox on the web, but cannot be downloaded by either the same or any other POP mail client.

Cloud not syncing with mac, iPhone or iPad

My caldendar is not syncing with my Mac, MBP, iPhone or iPad. When I go to the cloud there are a large number of appointments that do not show up. I am having to use the calendar of my Mac or MBP. If I enter appointments in the cloud dupes show up on my other calendars. This has been going on for a long time. It seems every time there is an IOS update the cloud gets out of sync with all my devices.

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

ICal not sync with my 2 macs

I have an iMac and macbook, both with leopard, and .Mac account. Everything was syncing fine until last week. Now only iCal does not isync. On .Mac calendar, I can view a calendar originating from my iMac. Still, when I isync my macbook, it does not pick up new calendar info. I have reset sync data, under the advance button under .Mac tab on both computers. I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

i would suggest you do the following:
1) reset sync history in isync>preferences on both macs
2) unregister both macs from .mac and if prompted purge/get rid of sync data
3) quit ical, trash/delete the file com.apple.ical.plist from homefolder/library/preferences n both macs
4) choose the mac with the most up to date info
5) on that mac go to .mac preferences, and register to .mac again, once that is done click on the advanced button and sync by reseting sync data, replacing data on .mac with data from that mac.
6) log on .mac, go to ab contacts and bookmarks, and with each make sure you are prompted to confirm the reset - log out and in until you are prompted to do just that - go forward with the reset.
7) once done, go to the second mac, register with .mac, and sync by reseting sync data, repacing data on that computer with data from .mac.
hope this helps

ICal on iPhone not syncing with Mac.

Does anyone know how I can get iCal on my iPhone 4s to sync with my computer? All my contacts and emails (thru yahoo) sync up just fine, but I can't get the calendars to sync. I do not have MobileMe or iCloud, but do I have to have them to do this? I wanted to use Apple's iCal, but maybe I should just use Yahoo's calendar feature instead? Any advice/help in this would be greatly appreciated.

My phone is doing the same thing. When I delete events on my mac, they are still present on the iphone after a sync. I have restored my phone, both from back up, and as a new iphone. This is very frustrating.

Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

Hello,
I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Is there any setting that I can try?
Any procedure that I should try?
ny other suggestions?
Thanks much!
Erik

Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.
