ICal to-to syncing with iPad Calendar app.....

Why is it still missing!?!??! I tried using the to-do feature in AppleMail and all I got on my .mac account on my iPad Mail was useless mime attachments...no way to edit or mark it completed.
Also, who's ridiculous idea was it to migrate the to-dos from iCal to Mail? Why would anybody want to go to their Mail app when scheduling tasks? I can't refer to my Calendar in Mail, and AppleMail on my iPhone and iPad don't to have support for it either. I switched years ago from Entourage to iCal for my scheduling precisely to avoid this sort of silly disconnect.
Are there any plans to support to-do item sync from iCal on my Mac and any of Apple's mobile products in any useable fashion? If syncing to-do data with iPhones, iPads, etc is not going to be supported then why even have it in iCal in the first place?
Seems very un-Apple-like to not have this functionality after waiting for it for 2+ years now. This appears to be decidedly Microsoft-like to me: Un-user-friendly, to say the least. What's up?

It hasn't been migrated or switched to Mail. It has been incorporated with Mail which you don't have to create there if you don't want to. You can create a To Do in Mail - receive an email that provides or reminds you of a To Do to create, which will be available in iCal automatically, or create a To Do in iCal only if you prefer switching applications in order to do so. A To Do created in Mail can be stored locally on your computer's hard drive, or stored on the server with a MobileMe account.
Support for syncing To Do's hasn't been provided yet, which may have something to do with including Tasks with Outlook and being able to sync between the two for this data as is available for contacts and calendar events for those who sync this data on their Mac and with a Windows PC. Maybe this will be included with firmware 4.0 to be announced this Thursday.

Since this is a user to user help forum only, doubtful if any fellow users know what Apple's plans are. If they did, they wouldn't be allowed to say until Apple makes an announcement, or until a firmware update is released that includes the option.
If syncing to-do data with iPhones, iPads, etc is not going to be supported then why even have it in iCal in the first place?
Because To Do's have been available with iCal long before the iPhone and iPad were released?

  • How can I sync my iPad calendar app with my iPhone calendar app?

    I use my iPad calendar app a lot. How can I get the info on the iPad app to sync with my iPhone (it's the same calendar app). Thanks in advance for the help.

    I guess there are a few ways to do this. I make my iMac the "home" for calendar and contact info. I make sure it is current and accurate. I sync my iPhone and my iPad2 to it frequently. If I enter new calendar data on the iPhone or iPad when I get home I sync them to the iMac to be sure it is current.
    We use BusyCal at home so all our Mac's are automatically synced to one another and we sync our mobile devices to the computers. So I sync my iPhone and iPad to the iMac and all of them have the same information.
    We do not use Mobile Me or another other web based service for calendar syncing since we feel that give us less control and more complexity.

    iTunes says that calendars are syncing, but events from my iPad don't show up on my iMac.  This is frustrating as this is the only way I have of syncing my iPad and iPhone.  Please help
    I have searched and see that many others are having this issue with no real resolution.  I am hoping it has been fixed in the 6 weeks since the last post I found.

  • Cannot get My google calendar to sync with iPad calendar

    Cannot get my ipad2 to sync with google calendar

    Any help on this topic? I have had this question for weeks now? My google claendar will not sync with the ipad. The account receives emails and my notes are linked, etc, but I cannot get my google calendar to show up on the calendars on the ipad. My phone works fine.

  • Please help with Ipad calendar app

    Everyday when I open my calendar app in day view, it always show the last date when I view the calendar. It does not automatically switch to Today's date. In other words, if I open the calendar yesterday dec 24, when I open this morning dec 25 the day view still show Dec 24. The icon did change to 25 and Dec 25 is marked blue which means it knows that today is 25. However the day view still show 24. Can anyone please tell me what do I need to do to make the day view automatically update to whatever today's date is? Should I returned my IPad?

  • ICal won't sync with Google Calendars

    I've been using iCal for several years and would like to sync it with my Google Calendar.  I've followed the instructions listed here, and cross referenced them with the iCal manual.  But every time I try to create/add an account in my iCal preferences, I get the following message:
    "iCal found the CalDAV server "www.google.com" but couldn't log in with the user name "[email protected]".
    Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then try again."
    I've tried several times.  My user name and password are correct, but nothing I do seems to help.
    I've also made my Google Calendar public.
    I'm using iCal 4.0.4 and on Mac OS 10.6.8.  Nothing seems to help. 
    Please advise, thanks.

    Turns out the problem was that I was using Google's 2-Step Verification for my Google accounts, and needed to create a unique password specifically for Google Calendar in order for iCal to access it.  Problem solved.

  • ICal won't sync with google calendar

    I recently had my computer crash, and luckily I had all my calendar backed up on google... I've managed to get my old calendar back, but now that I want to resubscribe my new calendars, google isn't recognizing any of the sites.
    When I put in the webcal://ical.mac.com/... to subscribe it sends me immediately to a page that asks for an email address to tell people about my public calendar, but never puts it into my calendar!
    any ideas?

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

    I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5.  How can I refresh them so they will all sync together.  I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro.  I turned iCloud off then on again.  I also turned calendars on and off again.  Then the event disappeared from my iPad also.  So now it is only on my iPhone 5.  How do I sync ical with all my devices?

    Anna,
    I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage.
    It would be helpful to know if you used this support article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

  • The calendar app on MacBook won't recognize and sync with IPad and Iphone after upgrading to Yosemite and Server 4.0

    After upgrading to Yosemite on our mac mini (from OS X 10.9) and V4.0 to Server (from 3.2), the calendar app on MacBook won't recognize the account and won't sync with IPad and Iphone. Even after giving password over and over again. I get the following message: 
    De server reageerde met
    '500'
    op de bewerking 'CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation'.
    (Server responded with '500' on task 'CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation'
    Anyone idea?

    update to my original post:  after searching since for the past 10 days - I did want to pass along to others with an iphone calendar sync problem the following resource:
    Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    This is the preferred solution for problems with sync with calendar and other apps between iphone and MaciOS.  This did solve the problem which developed that no items from iCal were copying to Iphone, such as new calendars I would add, but the original problem has not been fixed by this reset.

  • Is anyone else having problems syncing an external calendar app (Easy Calendar) with iCal using iCloud for syncing?

    Prior to upgrading to Mavericks, I would use iTunes to sync my two calendar apps--Easy Calendar (from the app store) and the native iCal and of course, I would wind up with the same calendar events on both calendars after syncing.  Since upgrading to Mavericks and--per Apple instructions, using iCloud to sync--I can't sync the two calendars.   At this point, I'm thoroughly confused about where I can go to find/see a backup of my non-iCal calendar app that's on my iPhone.  I'm beginning to think that if I don't use Apple's iCal, I can't back up or sync my calendar events using a non-native app such as Easy Calendar.  Is that correct?

    I, too, had long waiting times. Here's what worked for me.
    As I went through some of my Pages and Numbers documents, I got warnings that there were sync discrepancies (differing versions in iCloud and on my iPads and laptop). So, I removed everything from iCloud Drive using my laptop (saved to local folder). I let my iPads sync so they removed all the iCloud-based documents. On the laptop I went through and forced everything to the latest file format (latest Pages and Numbers on Yosemite) by re-saving, then copied everything back into iCloud Drive. My iPads both updated within seconds and everything now syncs quickly.
    Don't know if eliminating sync discrepancies is the solution, but it seems to have worked in my case. Hope it might help others.

  • Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

    When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar.  However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken.  this is big for us.  We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based).  There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support.  I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley.  Oh well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac?  Specifically for google calendars?

  • ICal change hours when sync, iCal is systematically changing hours in the calender when synced with iPad. How avoid this?

    iCal is alteing the time of events in teh calender when synced with iPad. Events are moved. All times are set at the same time on iPad, Iphone and Macbook pro, but the calendars are altered on all devices when synced. How can I avoid this?

    Hi,
    What timezone is your iCal set to (this may be different from your computer timezone look at the top right of the iCal window)?
    What is the timezone on your iPad under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Calendars > Time Zone Support ?
    Best wishes
