ICal on computer won't sync with MobileMe

I own a Mac laptop, desktop, iPad, and iPhone. For some reason, the calendar on my the laptop and desktop will not sync with Mobile Me. So, things I enter onto my calendar on one of the computers will not show up on my other devices and things I enter on my other devices will not show up on the computers.
I do have the synchronize my calendar using mobile me in my iCal preferences and when I go to mobile me in my settings, the status shows it syncing and when I put the calendar next to iCal it says it synced at 10:14 am...
I have tried resetting the data on the computer with data from Mobile me even though I will lose some events. It goes through and does this, but nothing changes on my calendar.
Any advice?
Thanks.

I also am now having problems with iCal. I cannot get the data in iCal on my MacBook Pro to sync to either my iPhone or my iPad.
I am extremely wary of some of the work-arounds suggested on this discussion forum, as I have about eight years of iCal data that I cannot afford to lose.
I realise that, as it becomes bigger and mores successful, Apple is adopting the Microsoft "****-the-end-user" strategy, but is there at least a manual for iCal 4 that I can download from somewhere. It seems to have adopted a completely different way of operating from earlier (working) iCal versions without ever informing we, the humble users, that this was what we were in for.
A link to a manual would be a start. A working version of iCal would be better, but I fear Applesoft no longer panders to so menial a requirement as "functional".

  • 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 !!

  • Address Book won't sync with MobileMe - inconsistent data!

    I recently began getting 'Inconsistent Data' messages when I sync with MobileMe for my Address Book. I have always had an auto sync and never had this issue. I am told to reset the MobileMe data from another computer - which I have tried to do but with similar error results.
    My most recent data is on MobileMe...I have so far failed to sync this data set with what's on my Mac Platforms.
    I have tried to resort to merge data or erase data on this computer from the sync options dialogue box, but still end up with "inconsistent data. Try resetting your data on MobileMe".
    I'm afraid that if I did that, then I will lose all my current data on MobileMe - which is the most recent, since most of my input for my contacts is made directly from my iPhone or iPad (both of which are syncing correctly).
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I have the exact same problem but have not been able to get my computers to sync with contacts although my iphone and Ipad are working perfectly. I tried deleting all my contacts in both mobileme and locally and tried to sync but was unsuccessful and still get the inconsistent data message. I hope someone can help us.

  • Computer won't sync with icloud

    After installing Lion and enabling icloud on my macbook pro...it won't sync to icloud.  I've logged in on the internet to see my icloud account and no new entries put in my calendar from my laptop are there.  New enteries from my iphone 4s are in icloud (on line) - but are not synced to the computer or vice versa?  What's up?

    There's no need to do anything on the phone which is plainly working.
    While in theory I agree with you 99%, I've noticed iCloud seems so glitchy at times, (new technology?) that I've seen enough strange things so I try to make sure I don't burn off an extra 4 hours of trouble-shooting because of one little step such as this.

  • ICal unexpectedley closes & won't sync with iPhone

    For some odd reason, my iCal closes 15-20 seconds after I open it. Furthermore, iCal will not sync with my iPhone anymore. This is odd, as it has worked fine in the past, and syncing with my iPhone has never been a problem. I suspect some recent software updates with either Mac OS X(10.4.11) iPhone or iTunes has triggered this new problem. But I'm at my wits end trying to figure this one out.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi dsmith,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    Also, open Console in Utilities, then start iCal & watch for messages.

  • My new computer won't sync with my phone

    I had synced my old computer (Windows 7, Firefox) with my phone (Android, Firefox). Old computer broke, bought new computer (Windows 8), synced new computer, got all old bookmarks back. So far, so good. However, I can't seem to get any new bookmarks added on my phone on this computer or added on this computer on my phone. Syncing apparently happens every day, but not between these two.
    How do I fix this?

    Are you getting any error?
    Did you setup the SYNC without error?
    REMOVE your SYNC, restart your mobile and reSYNC it

  • My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes, My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes

    i try to unplug and re plug and my iphoto says theres no pics to upload and calls it "apple iphone" when my iphone has a name and itunes says"the iphone'___my name____'s iphone' could not sync because the sync session failed to start."
    it just started doing this today.. i dont want to restore my phone because i will lose my pictures..

    Sometimes resetting the phone and rebooting your computer will fix this.  Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  You will not lose any data doing this.  Now reboot your computer and try syncing again.

  • ICal in Mac won't sync with iPhone or iPad

    I just updated to Lion on my MacBook and I am trying to do the wireless/iCloud sync for my appointments in my calendars.  Everything works fine between my iPad and my iPhone but there is nothing happening from my MacBook to my devices.  Appointments put in my MacBook do not show up in my iPhone and appointments put in iPhone don't show up in the Mac, even with a wired sync. Before the update I was doing the regular wired sync and it was working fine, and now nothing.  Is there a setting I am missing?  Yes, I am connected to the internet etc.  I do not use MobileMe or anything else.  This is just a iCloud, iTunes or iCal issue.
    Thanks!

    Maxine,
    Use iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar to help solve your problem. If the link says unavailable when your click on it, just refresh the page and it will display properly.

  • HT1848 I downloaded an audio book on computer; won't sync with I-Phone... how do I get it into my I-phone?

    I downloaded an audio book to my window's computer from I-Tunes; cannot get it into my I-Phone from sync. How do i do this or is it there and I cannot find it?

    How have you tried to sync it ? With the phone connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you should be able to use the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync the audiobook to the phone's Music app - if there are audiobooks on your phone then you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app.

  • Computer won't sync with external TV

    I am attempting to use my TV as an external display to watch movies and such. I am using a DVI to HDMI cable for the connection.
    When I plug the cable into the laptop (MacBook Pro) the laptop will start to sync up but then will continually switch between the desktop and a blueish screen every few seconds.
    On occasion this does lead to the Display application crashing and my having to reopen it. I got it to sync up last night after fiddling with the input selection on the TV I managed to get it to work. Now unfortunately I can't remember the sequence I went through to get it to work.

    Hi
    I don't know about your problem, sorry. How about asking in the Macbook Pro Forum, they may know something.

  • CalDAV syncing with MobileMe

    Our company uses a corporate gmail account so has about 15 different calendars. I've set up the account and delegates in iCal. But when I sync with MobileMe, I get nothing on my online calendar. The addresses and bookmarks are syncing so I'm pretty sure I'm connecting. Any ideas?

    New updates appear to have solved the issue.
