ICal sync between macs without mobileme?

Hi
I wondered if there is any way to sync two iCal calenders via airport without using mobileme?
Both my macs run snow leopard.

I assume people haven't responded because the answer to this question can be found in many places if you just take the time to search google.
But here you go:
1) You can use iSync to sync them both over bluetooth, i believe.
2) You can use something like Spanning Sync or BusySync ($)
3) You can use Fruux (free, BETA)
3.5) You could publish them to the free site icalexcahnge.com and subscribe to them on the other computer (but one mac can only view, not edit)
4) You can use Plaxo or Google Calendar and CalDAV (not too pretty IMHO)
5) You can buy Mac OS X Server and use the iCal Server ($$$)
6) You can set up a Darwin Calendar Server (most complicated)

How do I sync my iPhone with iCal on my Mac without mobileme?

ICal Syncing between Mac & iPhone

I have had a iPhone for some time now & also my Macbook with iCal, however I have encountered a problem which I cannot find a solution to on the software of either device.
My problem is a simple one: While my iCal always retains the events/information listed for each day of recent years, when I look back to retrieve such information in iCal on the iPhone, it only retains the information for each day of the month previous to the current date but nothing prior to that.
How do I address this??? Help please!

Ical syncing between 2 versions of Leopard

I've got a 20"Imac and a Macbook Pro both of which I have Leopard installed on at this time. I was excited about Leopard because I had read that it would allow users to make changes from both computers and they would update on the calender itself. Well, my original calendars were setup under the previous version of Ical on the Imac and so I couldnt update the calendar off the laptop. But now, I dont understand why it wont work. Shouldnt I be able to edit the calendar? But I just get a error msg saying that I cant edit a calendar that I am subscribed to. Well, how else am I supposed to look at the calendar on the Macbook Pro?
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

the group sharing features of ical are only available if your ical calendars are being run and managed on a compatible CalDAV server such as ical server.
you may want to look at the following products:
www.calgoo.com
www.spanningsync.com
both products will allow for syncing of ical calendars between macs across the internet. i have not tried calgoo - they have a free and paying option - but have tried spanning sync which has worked quite well for me so far - spanning sync costs money though.
hope this helps

Sync two Macs without .mac??

Hello there...
Is there any way to sync two macs without using .mac? I have a G4 iBook and a G5 iMac and I would like to sync their iCal so both calendars look the same on each computer.
Thank you for your help.

Free eh? (Why does everybody want something for nothing these days?)
Well, there is notMac, but you need your own server, and alot of time and technical know-how to set it up.
Otherwise nothing free... developers (like regular people) generally like to be paid for their work and long hours.
For $25 you can get iSynCal
For $20 you can get BusySync

I can´t sync my mac in MobileMe HELP !!

I can´t sync my mac in MobileMe HELP !!
it always show the message that the name or pasword are incorrect, I don´t know why it says this if it´s the one I always use for itunes store and stuff. Please, i want my mac to sync my contacs and all my iphone stuff .

MobileMe has been closed for months. Do you mean you are trying to sync using iCloud? You need to be signed in in System Preferences>iCloud; this login isn't necessarily the same as that which you use for iTunes. If you migrated your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August then your iCloud login is your @me.com address.

ICal Sync between two macs

Is there a way to sync iCal between two macs without having a .Mac account?

As far as backing up your calendars, I use the A/S below (scheduled daily) to backup my calendars. It places a copy of (~/Library/Calendars) in your (~/Library) folder.
Can be modified to locate the backup to an external drive if desired.
--pick up directory path
set WhoAmI to ((path to library folder from user domain) as string)
set the_date to date string of (current date)
tell application "Finder"
     --make our backup folder if necessary
     if not (exists folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")) then
          make new folder with properties {name:"CalBackup"} at folder WhoAmI
     end if
     delete every folder of folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")
     delay 3
     make new folder with properties {name:the_date} at folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")
     duplicate files of folder (WhoAmI & "Calendars") to folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup:" & the_date)
     --check file sizes
     set FileList to every file of folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup:" & the_date)
     repeat with ThisFile in FileList
          set TheSize to (size of ThisFile) / 1024
          if TheSize < 0.2 then display dialog ((name of ThisFile) as string) & " may be empty" with icon caution
     end repeat
end tell
Copy the script and paste it into your Script Editor. I saved it as an app called "iCal Backup" which I schedule to run daily.

How to delete iCal sync in .Mac

I want to delete my iCal info (from my syncs) in .Mac. I created a mess and I want to start over. Problem is when I sync I retrieve the messy info saved on my .mac???
Any ideas?
Thanks

fredericlang,
Follow the procedures list in...How to reset .Mac Sync: If your .Mac Sync begins to behave oddly, resetting the sync is a good troubleshooting step. It's essentially a "do-over," in case the computer got confused.
If you are going to reset the sync data, make sure to reset it from the computer that has the most up-to-date information on it. If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible. Here's how to reset .Mac Sync....;~)

ICal on multiple Mac and MobileMe

I am having sync issues. I have 3
Macs and an iPhone.
_*Mac A*_
Entourage Sync to iCal
iCal Sync to MobileMe
iPhone
Calendars are there.
Changes are reflected on all three (iCal on Mac A, iPhone and Entourage).
Problem:
_*Mac B*_
Sync to MobileMe, and I get "Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent data"....
(note Address book syncs fine).
I have tried;
deleted all com.apple.iCal.*
Fixed Permissions in Disk Utility
_*Mac C*_
Same issue as Mac B.
MobileMe
I see the calender fine.
Any thoughts?

Fixed
+Went to Mac A+,
Control Panel -> MobileMe -> Sync -> Advance
Removed ALL computers
Then Registered Mac A, and ReSync Data (Selected Computer to MobileME as this was the most up to date)
+Went to Mac B+
Control Panel -> MobileMe -> Sync -> Advance
Then Registered Mac B, and ReSync Data (Selected MobileME to Computer as this was the most up to date)
All is working now.

ITunes 7 - syncing between Mac and PC using network

I thought there was an announcement today that Apple had made it easier to copy your iTunes library between Mac and PC with or without using an iPod.
I have not been able to find such an option in the iTunes 7 menus on my mac or pc. I could copy the library using standard network file copy, but then I would lose the playlists and settings.
Anybody know the new way to copy/sync a mac and pc itunes library while keeping playlists and settings?

ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
regards,
Matt

I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.,
if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

Syncing between mac and windows

I have an issue where I have created files in Adobe Draw (and previously in Ideas) which I have then saved to the Creative Cloud. I open these files in Illustrator on my Mac, save them back to the cloud then open them on a Windows PC. When I save these files on the PC, I get the Unable to Sync Files error message. I have gone through these solutions Error: "Unable to sync files" but no solution applies. If I create a file on my PC, it syncs fine. Is there a known issue when sharing files between Mac and Windows? I can save the files to Dropbox or email them and I don't have this issue. Thanks

Hello,
Would you be able to send me your log files so I can better see what might be causing this issue issue. I will need Logs from both your Mac and Windows machines please.

Playlists are not syncing between Mac and iPhone

I have enables iCloud sync and sync over Wifi betweem my Mac and iPhone. But the sync is not working, and new playlists and edited playlists on the MAc are not showing up on iPhone. Also, such playlists that show up on the iPhone are not updating.
I am using iPhone 5 and MacBook Air.
Thanks for any help!

iBooks appear on my iPad but not iPhone.
On the iPhone tap Settings > Store. Switch Books off then back on the reset the iPhone.
playlists do not update instantly
On both devices in Settings > Store. Switch Music off then back on.
Contacts are not syncing between my Mac, iPhone, and iPad
On both the iPad and iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Contacts off then back on then reset.
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 Contacts then reselect that box then restart your Mac.

IMessage not syncing between mac and iphone

I recently upgraded to Mavericks (10.9.3) and iMessages no longer sync between my iPhone and my Mac Pro. I've checked the Support data base as well as Google and have followed the recommendations to check preferences on all devices and to restart all devices, but that doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Messages being sent from my iPhone 4S simply don't show up on my Mac. Can anyone provide assistance/ideas??

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.
