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.

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?
Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
Please help !
Nick

Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
Any ideas welcome !!

IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
Please help!!

Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
Does this help?

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

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.

Missing a calendar in iCal after syncing with MobileMe....

i am having some problems with iCal ...i am missing one my Calendars in iCal and wasn't sure how to get it back. I downloaded the calendars file and calendar.plist from my Time Machine backup...the missing calendar showed up at first, but it seemed to disappear right away (i assume after syncing with MobileMe.) Not sure what would be the easiest way to bring it back.......

It's possible to restore from Time Machine, though it's a slightly complicated process. Please follow very carefully the steps described here:

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?

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.

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 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

Address book not syncing with mobileme

I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15' and being new to Mac I'm stuck for sure. My mobile me account (which I have had for years) will not sync the Address book. I'm worried if I sync my iphone or ipad I will loose everything.
Please help- what am I doing wrong - all the settings seem to be right .

I wish I had an answer for you. Typically it works just fine, but I noticed today some of my contacts were not syncing with my MacMini nor my iPhone, but my iPad my web-version of MobileMe appear to be synched. I think there is a problem with the system.

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 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.

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.

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
