ICal or iPod Sync on MacOSX? (iSync support?)

I take a copy of my calendar with me, on my iPod. Currently, I have to open Oracle Calendar, export the calendar to .vcs format (.ics dies for some reason), then import that .vcs file into iCal as a new calendar. Then, sync iCal to the iPod. It works, but oy.
It would be great if iSync would just "see" Oracle Calendar, and pull the data directly out of it.
As a fallback, it would be handy if Oracle Calendar would allow functioning export if .ics in the MacOSX client (works on the Windows client, last time I tried).

Hi,
Can you tell me what version of the calendar client you are using? You can download the latest 9.0.4.2 from OTN.
Thanks,
Lily

  • My iCal does not sync with my iPhone

    I use to be able to get up to date info on both my iPhone and iCal at simultaneously, but now for some reason my iPhone does not get any changes I make in iCal. Help!

    I had been reading this thread and many other iPhone and iCal sync problem threads to try to solve my issue. My issue was similar to the OP in that my calendar events on my iPhone were not being sync'd to iCal and also that events created in iCal were not being sync'd to the iPhone. Here's what I tried that didn't work
    Backed up iCal, deleted all my calendars, created a fake placeholder calendar and then re-imported/restored my iCal data
    Reset "Sync History" using iSync
    Some forum poster had said something about how their problem had resolved after they had deleted all (some?) of their subscribed calendars in the iCal sidebar. Well, I had only one subscription calendar and that was a "US Holiday" calendar that I subscribed to almost 2 years ago. Was it through iCalx? I don't recall where I got the URL, but it was something from the Web. In any event, I deleted the susbscribed calendar and tried re-syncing and everything was transferred (phone to calendar and calendar to phone). Also this is only my theory since I also changed one other setting in iTunes. It was the "Don't Sync Events That Are Older Than" setting in iTunes. I changed this setting from "120 days" (an arbitrary number I had created) to another poster's suggestion about making it "10 days." Anyway, I hope this helps someone! I'm so thankful everything's working again.

  • IPod Touch iOS 4.2.1, Mac OS 10.6.8. ICal will not sync after a restore of iPod Touch. What's up?

    iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) second generation; Mac (OS 10.6.8). After a restore, the iCal no longer syncs, Contacts do not sync, etc. What gives?

    Greetings,
    Sounds like something is wrong with the sync history.
    Troubleshooting:
    1.) Backup all your data:
    Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Backup your calendars on MobileMe.
    Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
    Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
    2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
    If that does not resolve the issue, where is the information "good", on the iPod Touch or the computer and are you using MobileMe to sync or do you just plug in your usb cable.
    Hope that helps.

  • ICal fails to Sync with my Palm Treo yet my iPod does!

    iCal is a nightmare for me! Throughout much of 2007 it continually failed to refresh and update itself when I sync'd with my Lifedrive via Missing Sync. During Dec 07 I decided to perform a clean install of Leopard on a Cleaned Hardrive in my Powerbook. I also purchased a Treo 680 phone. When MarkSpace issued a Leopard version of Missing Sync I performed a sync with my data from .Mac via ical/AB. The first sync worked great.
    Since then, only 1 in my be 24 syncs have successfully transferred from iCal to my Treo ot Vice Versa. 99% of data entries are made on my Treo but they don't show up in iCal.
    AB is mostly fine. Although the odd Contact address seems to disappear and Missing Sync occasionally throws a wobbly by unregistering it's Conduit.
    Today I remembered that my iPod can link to iCal/AB so I thought I would test whether the data from my Treo was getting through to Sync Services. YES IT DOES!
    So my iPod is completely uptodate with my Treo yet iCal refuses to do anything.
    Has anybody got any ideas as to what I need to do to sort iCal out!
    Many Thanks

    Hi there,
    I do have almost the same problem with Leopard/iCal/Treo/Missing Sync.
    The guys from Missing sync announces some special issues when using this setup.
    And they say: it's related to Apple, cause they changed something in the iCal structure. And therefore syncing my Treo with Missing Sync and iCal doesnt work at all. I do understand that Apple likes to push us poor Palm users to buy the new iPhone... but I wont, cause it is too expensive yet and... last not least, I'm quite happy with my Treo for the last couple of years.
    Thin it is a shame that Apple prevents the further use of Palm devices in that rediculous way. Not very funny.
    So, back to your question: basically there is no solution yet. Missing Sync blames Apple for it, Apple doesn't say anything about that issue.
    Let's get back to ancient times and edit your calendars double. Either iCal and nanually on your Palm device. Great! Welcome to the 21st century.
    Regards
    Stephan

  • IPod Touch now mounts quickly w/iTunes 7.7.1, BUT no iCal or Contacts Sync

    Okay, so with the new 7.7.1 update, my 16GB iPod Touch (2.0) now mounts quickly, but iTunes winds up hanging forever on Contacts and iCal, with no sync to iCal. (Up until recently, Contact seemed to sync OK, but no longer)
    Anybody come across a fix?

    This had worked previously, but now today syncing continues endlessly on contacts and calendars. This is syncing a Touch with a Mac Mini, all latest software.

  • ICal and iPod Touch won't synch

    I have an iPod Touch (OS 4.0) that I had been synching with my iCal (4.0) through iTunes (9.2.1) on my Mac (OS X 10.6.4). I am the only user of all of these. I have 5 calendars in iCal. Several problems have started occurring (many months after purchasing the Touch and synching it successfully):
    (1) The synch crashes without doing anything if I try to synch multiple calendars.
    (2) I can synch just one calendar, but then it replaces whatever calendar was already there (using straight-forward synch, not the Advanced option of replacing calendars
    (3) Using Advanced - replace information on this iPod does nothing (i.e., no calendars are transfered to the iPod
    (4) I reset everything: completely reset my iPod (more than once, including giving it a new name), reloaded iCal, reloaded iTunes. Removed Calendar cache. Same problems.
    (5) Another issue: Later, I gave my calendars new names, and now iTunes still lists the old calendars as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list.
    I'm at a loss as to what I should do, but I need my calendar to synch properly. On a day-to-day basis, it's the software I use most.

    The genius people at the Apple Store solved the problem. First, I needed to tell iSync to reset its history (in iSync Preferences). Then they reset my iPod. Now it "sees" only the calendars in my iCal, and it syncs them correctly.
    I was also told that repeated calendar entries (I use lots of them for weekly meetings) can also generate problems.

  • A possible fix for iCal calendars not syncing with "iDevices"

    Hi everyone,
    I had this problem in the past with my iPod and suddenly the same is happening to my iPhone: Calendars are no longer syncing to my "iDevices". This started with 10.5 for me, but ymmv.
    There are lots of  Discussions suggesting to export all calendars, delete and then re-import. Resetting the Sync History in iSync's Preferences is mentioned all the time.
    I tried all that, but it never worked for me. Sometimes the calendars list in iTunes just went empty and other times it didn't show all my calendars or only very old, long deleted ones. Since the behaviour is the same with my iPod and my iPhone I could at least rule out a problem there.
    But today I finally discovered the culprit:
    I am sharing my calendars via icalx.com and it turns out that sometimes iCal simply "forgets" the URL I have set there and reverted back to .Mac which I don't use. Reverting all the URLs to the correct values solved the problem immediately. All calendars do sync perfectly again now!
    So if you're having the same problems it might be a good idea to check the URLs of all those shared (and subscribed?) calendars in iCal...
    Have fun!
    Björn
    PS: It may have nothing to do with it, but I also deleted the Birthday Calendar during the process and re-added it via iCal's Preferences.

  • ICal unable to sync

    When I upgraded to Leopard iCal worked fine for about 1 week. But since then I am unable to sync my calenders between my different Macs via my .Mac account, while there is no problem syncing the other applications (Contacts, Mail accounts...). Strangely the syncing of iCal works between my Mac and my iPod.
    Has anybody an idea why syncing does not work between my Macs ?

    It seems everyone is having the same problem with Leopard and iCal. First, you probably noticed that the Leopard upgrade screwed up iCal and removed several features. Now you have learned with the rest of us have...iCal won't sync to .Mac so that other computers can be updated with the data.
    I tried everything the .Mac support group sent me and more. Just like the others in the forum. Bottom line...the Leopard version of iCal won't sync. My suggestion is to go back to Tiger until that get this bug fixed.

  • ICal won't sync with iCal from other computer and .Mac

    I am trying to snyc my ical on my desktop with the ical on my laptop. I use my ical on my laptop most often so its data is most upto date, but I would like to have it so that no matter which one I look at its the same, and if I change something on one it will update on both.
    I thought that is what would happen with .Mac and syncing. But when I try to sync my desktop it says that it won't sync the calander because of inconsist data, but it won't tell me what they are.
    It says to confirm that your computer's data is valid, (its not, but how do I confirm or not?). Then it says to reset calendars on .Mac in the system preferences when I try to do that it gives me an icon of computer and .mac, and an arrow saying in what direction I'm assuming data will go. I choose .mac, to computer and it still comes up with the same problem.
    So how do I fix? Once I fix will it merge data on both or will it always be thinking take the .mac data and replace it? It scares me when it says are you sure you want to do this and its changable if you do. I don't want to loose the data on my laptops calander.
    Is there a way to clear my desktop ical, and then sync it and get my laptop's data and start from scratch? And then do mutual merges after that?
    It says to check that my info on the computer is correct and then to reset it in .mac preferences. The data on the desktop isn't correct but even if I reset, it won't

    I'm having massive problems with syncing via .mac with two local Macs - nothing I have tried has worked as yet and it's currently under investigation with a .mac specialist.
    I did used to get the 'inconsistent data' warning but that has somehow disappeared - now I don't get any warnings and .mac says both Macs are synced but I get nothing updated to iCal from either direction...
    So I don't as yet have an answer but just to let you know that if you get in touch with Apple they will support you with finding an answer.
    In the meantime have a look at these links for more self-help:
    http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2008/02/25/how-to-truly-reset-your-mac -sync-data
    Note that iSync also plays a large part, not just .mac and iCal - you need to 'reset sync data' in iSync/preferences.
    Plus some of the help stuff that Apple sent me:
    You may need to reset sync data again on .Mac and on all of the computers with which you are syncing.
    First, it's important to back up any data that you wish to keep. For more information, please see:
    How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.4 files (applies to 10.5 too)
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301239
    Mac OS X 10.5: When to use Time Machine or .Mac Backup to back up data
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n307050
    Before proceeding, you may find it helpful to print this email and the above articles so that you can consult them during this process.
    Next, using a computer that has Mac OS X v10.5 or later, unregister the other computers, including any Mac OS X v10.4 computers you may be using. (To find out which version of Mac OS X is installed, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.)
    Here's how to unregister the other computers from the computer that has Mac OS X v10.5 or later:
    1) Open System Preferences and click .Mac.
    2) Click Sync, then click the Advanced button.
    3) Click once on one of the computers in the list and click Unregister. Follow the onscreen instructions to unregister the computer. Repeat this step until all registered computers are removed from the list.
    4) When the last computer has been unregistered, you will be asked "Would you like to delete unused sync info from .Mac?" Select the boxes next to each of the data types listed and click Delete.
    5) Restart the computer.
    After unregistering the other computers, sync your data from the computer that has the most up-to-date information.
    To add a computer with Mac OS X v10.5 or later to the .Mac sync list:
    1) Open that computer's System Preferences and click .Mac.
    2) Click the Sync tab.
    3) Select "Synchronize with .Mac."
    4) Select the data types you wish to sync. Click Sync Now.
    5) If you are asked, "What would you like to do for this first sync?", select "Merge" and click Sync. You may have to do this for each data type that you are syncing.
    After you have performed the initial sync, you should try syncing again. If you do not receive any errors, you can add additional computers to the .Mac sync list by following these steps on each of the computers:
    1) Open that computer's System Preferences and click .Mac.
    2) Click the Sync tab.
    3) Select "Synchronize with .Mac."
    4) Select the data types you wish to sync. Click Sync Now.
    5) If you are asked, "What would you like to do for this first sync?", select "Replace data on this computer" and click Sync. You may have to do this for each data type that you are syncing. This will replace the data on the computer with the data that has been synced to .Mac.
    I recommend that you add the computers one at a time, confirming each time that syncing is working correctly. To confirm that syncing is working, make a change in one of the data types you are syncing, then perform a sync from the first computer. When that syncing is finished, perform a sync on the second. If syncing is successful, add a third computer, and so on.
    Good luck!

  • New Macbook iCal will not sync to MobileMe

    I bought a new macbook air and when i turn on syncing, my mobileme account will not sync the calendar saying mobile me needs to be fixed...the dialog box says:
    "You need to replace your calendar information on MobileMe." If this computer has the most current information, click replace. If the most current information is on another computer, click Fix Later and replace your information from that computer...
    Thanks for any ideas...

    Sounds like exactly the same problem I have. Have Black MacBook and iPhone 3Gs synced to MobileMe and everything works. I set up a White MacBook (both MacBooks are 10.5.8) with new HD, formatted, new install of Leopard, new application installs, ran software update until all are current, then ran Repair Permissions.
    Then turned on MobileMe sync. Safari bookmarks, Mail, Contacts, etc all sync fine and near real time for changes. iCal on computer is completely blank--didn't even update the 4 named calendars. I reset iSync history and tried replacing data on computer with MobileMe content. Nothing. Then reset iSync history again and tried merging all data. This time it said there was over 3,000 calendar events to add. Sounded good. But nothing happened.
    Looks like I can create a new event in iCal and it syncs to MobileMe, then delete in MM and it updates on MacBook. But zero existing events in MM show in iCal on MacBook, even when I edit one and resave it.
    Update: I sent a message to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback.

  • ICal and iPod glitch?

    I want to know if this is a glitch or if there is something wrong with my equitment. What happens is I have a reoccuring event and when I delete one of the events inbetween it goes away from my iCal like it should but on my iPod it remains. So if someone else could try recreating this problem on their equipment that would be great here is what you do:
    Make an event that reoccurs everyday for a week.
    Sync iPod
    Now delete one of the events in the middle (say the reoccurence on a wed. just delete that one event for that day and it will ask and respond "only this event")
    Now Sync iPod again and see on the wed (or whatever day you did) is still appearing on the iPod even though you deleted it on the iCal.
    Thank you,
    TM

    T.M.
    I just tried doing what you suggested and it turned out as it is supposed to. I used to have issues (still have one, in fact) that were similar.
    What I did to start with a clean slate is this:
    First I went into iCal and set up my calendars the way I wanted them. Recurring events were set up, etc.
    Before syncing with my iPod, I opened the iPod as a disk and trashed the calendar folders. Now this is important - you must empty the trash before syncing, otherwise for some strange reason, the trash is placed back on the iPod.
    Now do a sync and all should be well. Then try your test again and see if it solves your issue.
    The one issue I haven't been able to resolve is that I have a recurring event for the last Friday of every month. It is properly set up on iCal, but when synced to the iPod, the event shows up on the last Thursday of every month. Strange as that sounds, imagine this - once the event showed up on Friday as was proper, then after the next sync it went back to Thursday even though the event remained the same, untouched, on iCal.
    Hope I've helped you out. Let me know if the above works for you, I'm curious.

  • My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
    Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
    Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
    Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

  • Ipod syncing problems...?

    Im having several ipod syncing problems. I have an Ipod touch, 4th gen with the standard USB cable that comes with to charge it and sync it with. Today, i plugged it into my computer like normal to sync some new songs onto it from itunes. But, it started acting up. First, it kept syncing on and off, and the sync sound wouldnt stop- it wouldnt stay synced. then, later, when it finally did, not long after it said "this device does not support charging," and itunes didnt recognize my ipod anymore, so i couldnt sync my songs. is there any way i can fix this? thanks in advance.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
