ICal Update failure to sync

I responded to the invitation to update to the latest version of iCal but part way through the update my screen background was changed to a version from 2009 and the sync ran for over two hours but failed to produce any data in my mobileme version of iCal.
iCal (previous version) continues to work as a stand alone on my iMac but syncing does not work between computer and Mobileme.
After numerous attempts to sync I reported the error to Apple.
Any advice please would be most welocme

First, try the simple fix: back up all data, then delete the calendar account and add it back. Test.
If there's no change, then you may be trying to access an event in a shared calendar that you declined. The error message should give you a clue as to what it is. If the calendar is on iCloud, you can bring up the Calendar on the website and select
Show Declined Events
from the popup menu with the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page. The declined events will appear in gray, and one of them should match what's shown the error message. [Credit for this solution to ASC user Psi.]
If you get the error when trying to accept an invitation in an email attachment, it's because the organizer didn't properly create the event.

Ical update won't sync with macbook

I went ahead and updated to the new ical in MobileMe--seemed like it was necessary. It works fine with my iphone but since update yesterday i get nothing on my laptop. My calendar on my laptop is now empty. Do I have to upgrade my OS (I'm on 10.5.8)? Starting to question whether MobileMe is a waste...

steamboatviolin,
MobileMe: Using Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.x with the new MobileMe Calendar should help you sync with your MacBook.

ICal updates syncs event before I can finish editing it

When I create a new iCal event, it automatically syncs- even before I can typically add a correct time, location, etc.
This would be fine, except for the fact that people I share a calendar with then get multiple notifications for the same event (when created, and when edited with the final event info)
Is there a way to stop it from pushing this to the cloud before I'm done editing a new event?

This is incredibly frustrating for me too!
I have a repeated monthly event for a discount at a store that is offered on the first Tuesday of every month. So I have a repeated event taking place on the 1st of every month. In the previous month I reset next month's date from the 1st to whatever date falls on the first Tuesday.
But ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I am experiencing the same problem as the original person who posted. The date saves on my calendar but does not sync to my iCloud. When I reboot the computer, the date reverts back to the 1st.
I'm thankful I don't have any events that needed to be tracked because ALL of my previous changes in the past have reverted back to the 1st of the month. I would have been in the same terrible situation as yaz999 in having to manually change every event in previous months.
Why hasn't this bug been fixed yet???!!!

Does anyone know how to solve: "Firmware update failure. Disk write error"?

Hi all,
Here is the list of all what went wrong and where I am now:
1. My Ipod worked well
2. I wanted to update it, you know, the normal thing with Itunes
3. Every time I tried, my computer froze. I was unable to add only one song (both automatically and manually).
4. I took my external drive (where my music is) at work and tried again: same result.
5. I decided to run the Updater I have on the CD that came with the Ipod.(2005-02-07; I usually avoid the newer version, having had once a problem when putting a newer version of Updater).
6. The Updater was unable to operate any action on my Ipode (I don't remember the messages now).
7. Like I tried what I describe here above like a hundred time. I decided to format the Ipod with Windows (My Computer, right click on the Ipod, format).
8. It did and now I have only the famous folder with an exclamation mark on my Ipod.
9. Now when I am running the Updater, it says it cannot Restore the factory settings giving this message "Firmware update failure. Disk write error".
I would appreciate any help because, during the last 2 hours, I read and tried all I found on the Support Help here on the Apple web side without any result yet.
Thank a lot for your answer

Is there an ical update from 2.0.5 when running os 10.4.11

is there an ical update from 2.0.5 when running os 10.4.11.
i don't think i can update my os on this powerbook (powerPC), so does that mean i can't update the ical?
trying to use sync software and it appears that my version of ical will not work with the free software i've found.
any ideas?
thanks,

Nope, that is the last ever version of Firefox for 10.3.9 and earlier versions.

Can iCal update while closed?

OK, here's my problem: When I enter an event on my iPhone or iPad or on me.com, it only shows up in iCal after I open iCal. In other words, if I associate an alert with an event on my phone, that alert will never go off on my Mac, unless I left iCal open or I happen to open it sometime before the event.
Now, I just spent some time on chat with Apple and was told that this is normal behavior, that iCal only updates from me.com when it's open. But Address Book updates just fine when closed. And I'm 99% sure that the me.com support guy was wrong, that iCal updates like Address Book. Or DID.
Has the behavior changed? Have I lost my mind and iCal never, ever updates when closed?
I'm willing to accept that I'm completely wrong about this, but I wanted to throw it out to the community and see if anyone else a) remembers the experience the way I do and/or b) knows of any workarounds/apps that will allow me to receive iCal alerts on my Mac without needing to leave iCal open all the time.
Thanks!

Under the old system, which used SyncServices as does Address Book, updates could take place even while iCal wasn't actually running.
With the new MobileMe calendar, because iCal isn't really syncing but is reading the calendar off the MobileMe server (much the same as webmail) updates can only take place while iCal is actually running. This means that if you add an event with an alarm on another device while iCal is not running, the event won't be added until iCal is opened and may well be missed.
In order to be sure you would need to run iCal but hide it, so that it won't be visible and in your way but can still update.

Update failure when adding email

Hi,
I have a blackberry curve9360, I added my work email on my personal phone, and when I got my work phone I signed in with my personal blackberry ID, which synced my personal emails and work emails.

Can someone please advise

My daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode. restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!

my daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode. restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!
how can i get this ipod reset. She now has an iphone so this is going to be used by someone else in the family and should be simple to do but itunes just keeps booting it out even though it recognises that it was previously connected to our itunes account as all of the children were on my account

That has nothing to do with an update server. Do the following:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes

My ical calender doesn't sync with our iphone's

if we create new date's in our iphone calender the ical calender on our Mac OSX 10.6.8 doesn't sync it anymore.....! we do't use icloud!
what is the problem and how can we fix it?
we have iphone 4, iphone 3 and Mac OSX 10.6.8

I think I have the same deal going on.
All this time checking the boxes of what to sync,
now the worst calendar ever on iPhone.
For some reason,
3Gs, even though 'ALL DAY' is not set, every entry is ALL DAY and everyday.
What a Mess.
Update 3Gs beyond 3.1.3 to latest update not made for it, iCal takes a hit?
Go to iTunes
re-sync does nothing to rectify it,
After all events are re-edited at MacPro, no difference on iPhone after sync from MacPro.
No event is set to AllDay, yet they are on iPnone iCal as if by default.
Last attempt from iTunes-
Use Advance/Replace Calendars with info from this computer.
Nice Try, but no connection correction follows to iPhone.
Yahoo calendar always worked since 01.
Birthdays never missed.
No idea iCal events are missing. Nice email, letting you know after.
Always thought it odd no holidays included.
If you physically never go to MobileMe.
MobileMe wants to update to new iCal version.
No hint of iCal update doing sync otherwise.
Read warnings before update. Instructions are not clear.
May loose it all first, then fix it.

ITunes 10.4.1.10 Failure to sync

MAJOR FAILURE TO SYNC since updated to the latest iTunes. No problem before.
Unable to sync my IPAD2 and IPHONE4, gosh, what the heck it happening? Steve Jobs just resign and things are falling apart?
Was hooking up to computer, sync starts automatically, then last step it will go:
"iTunes stopped working. Windows will close the program, find a solution and get back to you."
Tried the following:
1. Reboot the computer.
2. Uninstall iTunes 10.4.1.10. Reinstall, reboot no change.
3. Changed USB cable (heard it might work) but no change.
4. Tried the IPAD2, same issue.
Where to get older version of iTunes? The latest one is flawed.
CCLY

You can try restarting or resetting your phone.
Restart your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, reset your phone: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Another update failure and restore

An observation after another updater failure.
Do NOT update on a shared USB port. I have a USB dongle to let several USB devices be on one port. This is not normally not t a problem with syncing, but this will not work with iPad OS update.
Plug iPad directly into a USB port or it will probably fail. This is probably the same reason you can't plug into a keyboard USB port as not enough power to run the operation.

Apple recommends the same when syncing as well.

Software Update Failure (Curve 8520) using a Mac

Blackberry Website - http://uk.blackberry.com/software/smartphones/update/smartphone.html
says,
"Update on the web - On a Mac
• You will need to download BlackBerry® Desktop Software to update your smartphone software. Once installed, connect your smartphone to your computer and you will automatically be prompted to update."
- It DOESN'T automatically update
- We have to open BlackBerry Desktop Software file which has Import Media, Device Options buttons on the main screen, as well as Back Up, Restore, Applications and Sync buttons on the Tool Bar
- When we click on Applications, a box comes up with a list of apps (checked and unchecked boxes), Check for Updates, Cancel and Start. buttons If we click on Check for Updates we get "There are no updates available for your BlackBerry device". If we click on Start we get a message which reads:
"BlackBerry® Desktop Software failed to validate your BlackBerry® device update.
Aborting install due to validation failure. Some packages contained unsatisfied dependencies"
We tried to "Reload BBM" which resulted in loss of contacts and lots of tears, so we "Restored". Since doing this contacts have been restored BUT we now cannot connect to WiFi. Message reads, " This wireless router supports WiFi Protected Set-Up. To connect using a PIN (which your Blackberry will generate), click Next'. We are then asked to enter a PIN into the router - How are we supposed to do that if the router doesn't have a keyboard?
HELP!

Restore fails with "Firmware update failure. Disk write Error" message

I am going totally bonkers with this one. My Shuffle stopped working suddenly.
My iTunes was not able to read the contents of the iPOD and there seems to be a corrupt filesystem. After reviewing various posts, I have tried the following with little success:
1. Tried Restore using the Updater tool that came with the Shuffle (2005-09-23). I kept getting the "Firmware update failure. Disk write Error"
2. Downloaded the new updater tool (2006-03-23) and tried restore again. I got the same error message again.
3. Tried formatting using Windows format, it is not able to complete the format
4. Tried chkdsk. Get an error message saying "CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."
5. Tried connecting it to a different computer and tried pretty much the same steps. Similar results.
I am using USB 2.0 both on my current Thinkpad as well as the other computer I tried with.
I am totally clueless and am not sure how to go about fixing this one. Though there have been lots of posts about this, I haven't been able to find a solution that works for me. Any thing else that I may have missed out which I can try?
Thanks,
Kris

hiya!
just checking. have you worked through the possibilities from this document yet?
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
given that you're connecting to a laptop, we'd better check on this possibility too:
iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
... and even though you aren't using a Toshiba, this technique might be worth a try (if all else fails):

RMMR1MRS-When run in background cause update failure errors looking

hi,
RMMR1MRS report when run in background cause update failure errors .
There are few below reason for the error log.
1. for the PO invoice already generated - (its right if already invoice generated. should not happen again)
2. In MIGO, entire quantity has been reversed and also invoice generated with zero value - ( its right , should not happen invoice again )
3. Particular PO line item deleted - (its right if the PO line item deleted. ERS settlement not require)
For the all above reason, the update error occurs. But the mean time the program "RMMR1MRS" should not through the update error log.
Note: The job was not terminated due to this update error and also no harm because of the error log
can you please help on this update failure why it occurs.

Have you found a solution already? If so, please, share it with the community and close this thread.
