ICal on Mac and Facebook events

i've updated my Macbook OS to the latest 10.8.2 and the facebook events/birthdays doesn't seem to even appear in my iCal..
even at the account settings, the Facebook account didn't even ask for permission to access my iCal..
my iPhone and iPad are ok after updating to iOS 6...
anyone knows how to go about this?

Hi Martin,
Are you using MobileMe? Are you syncing the events to the iPhone through iTunes or pushing them over the air with MobileMe?
If you are using MobileMe you can set the Time Zone online at http://www.me.com/calendar/ click the Gear> Preferences> Advanced.
Try turning off Time Zone Support on the iPhone, tap Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Time Zone Support, off.
Did that change the time on the events?
If you are not using MobileMe or that does not resolve the issue, try the tips below.
If the Time Zone Support is on in iCal, try disabling it. Go to iCal>Preferences> Advanced> uncheck Turn on time zone support. You can change Time Zones of events in iCal as described in the iCal help article: "Changing the time zone for an event"
If the issue persists try resetting the sync history as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030 and then syncing the calendar events to the iPhone again.

Needed help in syncing iCal on Mac and iPhone 2g

When I sync iCal on my Mac (Mountain Lion) with iCal on iPhone 2g, some events get "Alert 15 hours before" on iPhone, even though I didn't set this alert. Any ideas?

Check you are logged into the same account on all devices, check that contact syncing is enabled on the mac (system preferences > iCloud). If these details are correct try turning contact syncing off, restarting the mac and turning syncing back on.

I got birthdays in my ical on mac and iPhone 4 but how can i add anniversaries

I got a mac pro and have updated to mountain lion, i use the mac cal to synchronize to mac cal on iphone 4s and vise versa, I got birthdays on my cal but would like to add anniversaries to it as well how do i add them so i dont forget important dates and also in my icloud i have 3 colours for different entries e.g. green for holiday , blue for home and green for work, so how do i add another colour for something else for a different entries called "events" and add anniversaries like birthdays. Ta Juss p.s i also have a problem with birthdays they all duplicated.....

Go to "File" and create a new calendar, name it "Events" or whatever you like and pick a color. Then, go to the date you want the anniversary on and create an all-day event naming it however you like. Under repeat, choose to have it repeat every year and select never for when it should end. You will now have a calendar of anniversaries and other events. Just make sure to select repeat every year and never end on each item you want in that calendar.

Events showing up many times in iCal on Mac and iPhone

Certain events are showing up many times within my iCal and iPhone. These are clearly duplicate events and can show up as much as 50 times or more on the same day at the same time. Some additional background:
1. I use mobileme and have my iCal syched through Mobile Me
2. I have a gmail calendar that is synching (these events do not appear to be duplicating)
3. I synch my iPhone calendar with my work PC through a USB chord. My work PC uses MS Outlook. Some of these events are duplicated. Especially annual events such as birthdays.
4. I have set my wife's calendar to publish and I have subscribed to her calendar. She has a far more extensive issue of events duplicating and these duplications show up on my iPhone since I subscribe to her calendar.
Any help would be much appreciated.

ICal on Mac and iPhone are hours apart!!!!

If anyone can help me with this very inconvenient matter.
My iCal events on my mac are always 10 hours ahead.
Both my Mac have the correct date and time set, and they both are set in the same time zone!
Thanks in advance.

Syncing iCal using .Mac causing duplicate events

I just got a new PowerBook laptop with Leopard. I also have an iMac running Tiger.
I synced the new PowerBook and iCal looked great. Then I added a couple of events on the PowerBook and synced again with .Mac.
The next time I synced my iMac, I had literally hundreds of duplicate events.
I went through and deleted all the duplicates and synced the iMac to make sure .Mac would be clean without duplicates.
The next time I used the PowerBook and synced it, I ended up with duplicates on the iMac again.
I was keeping my iCal synced with my old laptop running Tiger and never had this problem.
Does anyone have a fix? Help!!!

I stumbled on this discussion and am chiming in because I've just upgraded to Leopard on my home laptop, and this a.m., after trying to sync iCal on my work computer (running 10.4.11) with my .Mac account and my home computer, iCal has crashed repeatedly when the "Resolve Conflicts" window comes up.
Interestingly, all of the "conflicts" actually appear to be identical duplicates, although I can't be sure because it's crashed before I can get beyond the 3rd or 4th "conflict" every time.
This is the first time I've tried to sync the calendars between the two computers since I installed Leopard over the holidays. Because I work for a big university, it'll be a while until they update the system on my work machine...
Anyone else experiencing these duplication-related crashes? I'm wondering if I'm going to have to wipe one of my calendars clean.

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

Hope this helps,

Syncing iCal on Mac and iPhone: how long does the sync take to show up???

When I make changes in iCal on the Mac, when are they supposed to appear on the iPhone? And vice versa. Same question regarding Contacts.
In Mail there is a "circular icon" which forces an update. Is there an equivalent one for iCal and for Contacts?
Thanks in advance and cheers,
Veit

Having paid with Apple Pay, vs. any other method of payment, there should be no difference at all with regard to getting your money back. The "weird" Credit Card Number probably is the Unique Device ID from your iPhone, not actually a Credit Card Number. That will have been linked to your actual Credit Card within the original Transaction so the refund will easily go back to your Account.

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

When I sync my iPod to my MacBook through iTunes new events do not show up and old events are not deleted. I am using Snow Leopard and not iSync.

I am using Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I have an iPod touch 3G. I do not use iSync it Mobile Me. When I sync my iPod through iTunes new events on my iPod do not show up on my Mac and old events do not delete. I have read help instructions that include deleting the data on the iPod. The iPod has the correct data and the Mac does not so I have not followed those instructions. I need help as the only reason I bought the Mac was to be able to sync, back up, view and print my calendar. Currently it is useless. If only Apple could have learned from the elegance of the Palm software.

Iphone and Ical on mac do not sync anymore. All my events are in the iphone calendar! How do I backup iphone calendar, and how do I fix the syncronizing problem?

After getting iCloud the iCal on my mac does not sync with my iPhone calendar. All of my calendar notes are in my iPhone (while the mac's Ical remains empty) so I need to backup the iphone version. How?
Itunes says that "your calendars are being syncronized with iphone using icloud" - but the mac's ical does not show any of the new events I have added on my iphone.
I would like to install the new update on my iphone, but I am afraid to do it without knowing that I will be able to restore my iphone calendar. I have made calendar events for many years to come, I and will not risk losing them!
I have been looking for tips online, but the solutions usually suggest that I backup the ical on the mac and start fresh using this version. In other words overwrite iphone calendar with the ical from the mac. Which is not an option. What can I do?

Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

On iPad go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates.

Facebook events to import directly into my iCal on my Mac mini?

How do I get events that I have on Facebook to automaticcly import into iCal on my Mac Mini?

This is the guide I used to get Birthdays over to my iCal, then to my Droid (via Google Calendar).

TS3999 I have entered a recurring event on my icloud calender and has it disappeared, but it still shows up on my ical on my mac and iphone. Any suggestions?

I have entered a recurring event on my icloud calender and has it disappeared, but it still shows up on my ical on my mac and iphone. Any suggestions?

So after reading other's threads on this issue, I learned that by turning icloud's calendar sync option off and then on again, it re-sets your calendar and pesky old things go away like magic. Thanks to others on this forum for sharing their expertise! I'm all set now.
