ICal with mobileme syncing - old way and new way

After I also had to upgrade my mobileme account, my local calendar is not syncing anymore. So there appears to be a different way of syncing calendar:
Before upgrading:
I had my local calendars that used to be synced with the mobile me calendars
Also I used to subscribe at the local copy of my calendars with other users calendars
After upgrading:
I no longer have a local version on the calendars synced with my mobileme
I have a "username"@me.com synced copy on my local computer.
Also subcriptions to other people calendars can happen centrally on mobileme and don't have to repeat it on all my devices.
Is this a correct description (at a simple level)? I wish there was some kind of a short video or description article before the upgrade (I did not see one)

I had the same issue and think I got it resolved.
I updated my iCal on Me.com and then my local calendar stopped syncing with my iphone. Nothing that I added on my iphone would sync onto my Macbook Pro and vice versa. I got an .ics invite from a friend, tried to add it, and it added on my phone, but wouldn't sync on my laptop... also wouldn't allow me to accept or decline on my phone (and obviously not my laptop because it wasn't in iCal). So, I went on my iPhone into >Settings >Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicked on my .Mac account and turned OFF my calendars. It will ask you "do you want to save the local data on your iphone or delete? Everyone do what you want, but I left it on my phone - figured it'd be less to sync over again.
After I did that, I turned the calendar sync back on on my iphone and waited for it to finish loading. Then synced my mobileme on my laptop and the local calendar events reappeared! My friends' invite finally appeared on my laptop so I could accept it and then it confirmed and updated on my phone - so I knew everything was syncing properly again.
I hope this helps you guys out with this. They really should have a video tutorial on this - considering Apple has a video tutorial on everything else!

  • I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop.  Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer.  How I can fix this?

    Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
    Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
    It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

  • How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • Many of my older ITunes downloads play perfectly well on my IMac but constantly skip to the next song or suddenly stop playing on my IPhone. The problem is the same with both my old 4s and my new 5s. I have tried deleting and re-downloading to the phones.

    Many of my older ITunes downloads play perfectly well on my IMac but constantly skip to the next song or suddenly stop playing on my IPhone. The problem is the same with both my old 4s and my new 5s  phones. I have tried deleting and re-downloading my music library to the phones, but the result is always the same.

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

  • Problems with mobileme syncing ...

    Hi everyone. I'm having massive problems with mobileme sync with my iphone, my macbook and MacPC G5. Essentially I want the iphone contacts and calender data to overwrite anything on laptop and pc but I keep getting message that contacts couldn't be synced due to inconsistent data.  Despite me overriding it.  I'm not sure how I go about confirming that the computers data is valid and actually whether I want to because its the iphone data I want.  Then despite saying its synced calenders its not updating on my macbook or PC ... any suggestions gratefully received.  Its doing my head in!  Oh I'm on Leopard OS.

    Hi Chris, Thanks for the advice, I haven't tried that yet. Will do so and pray that it will work. This however doesn't solve the problem of appointments I'm putting on my iphone not updating on PC and laptop - they do however update on mobile me cloud!  Any advice greatly appreciated!

  • Old FIGL and New FIGL

    Hi
    What is the difference between old FIGL and New FIGL? What does it makes difference in BI if New GL is implemented in ECC 6.0.
    Will other modules gets impacted if new figl is implemented?
    Regards
    Annie

    With old G/L in R/3, the tables GLT0 (totals), BSEG, BKPF (Line Item) get filled. in BI side u have to use data model 
    0FI_GL_1 --> 0FI_GL_1 --> 0FIGL_C01 (for Totals)
    0FI_GL_4 --> 0FI_GL_4 --> 0FIGL_O02 (for Line item)
    With New G/L in R/3, the tables FAGLFLEXT (totals), FAGLFLEXA, BSEG, BKPF (Line Item) get filled. in BI side u have to use data model 
    0FI_GL_10 --> 0FI_GL_10 --> 0FIGL_C10 (for Totals)
    0FI_GL_14 --> 0FIGL_O14 (for Line item)
    Functionally, this effects other financial modules like AP, AR, PCA (Profit Center Accounting)
    for ex: with new G/L implented in BI side, this fullfils most of profit center Acounting requirements, and u donot have to implement PCA module seperately.

    Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

  • I got  iphone5 two days ago and had taken some lovely photos. Tonight i tried to sync my ph to get my old contacts and have ended up with all  my old contacts and apps and have lost my photos from today. I also have lost the iphone5 apps. Can i get back?

    I got the Iphone5 a couple of days ago. Today i tooks some lovely photos and tonight i went through itunes to sync my phone and get my old contacts. In the process i have lost todays photos and the original iphone5 apps. Can i get them  back?

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Synced ical with mobileme, now can't edit calendar

    Hi, I synced ical through mobileme thinking mobileme would serve as a "backup" for my ical. I use ical on my macbook and don't check the mobileme calendar.
    but now i can't write on my ical when it is open on my macbook.
    how can i change the settings so that i can use ical on my macbook and have it backed up on mobileme?
    if this is impossible please tell me how to restore the original settings and get my ical off mobileme.

    Hello Doxiechick and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Are you sure you are syncing with Microsoft Outlook and not a Microsoft Exhcange server or some other corporate email system?  If you are syncing a Palm OS device, like the Centro, to Microsoft Outlook, the default database files don't get deleted.  My guess is that there is something else going on here, especially if you have contacts on your Centro.

  • ICal with iCloud syncing - how to back up

    Like many others, I have had problems with multiple entries on iCal. In my case, i probably stuffed up trying to fix it. I ended up with duplicate calendar items before I switched off mobile me.
    I also updated iPad and iPhone 4 with OS5 thinking i could install Lion later, which I now have.
    I kept a copy of iCal before I did anything, but can't seem to find a way to reinstall it instead of the mess I have. When I open it, it just wants to fix my current iCal which doesn't work, as the current calendar items are different to the ones showing before I backed up.
    Any suggestions as to how I can just revert to the old iCal please?
    BTW, I think Lion is great, and if I can fix my iCal it will be greater still.

    Here is what I would do.  There is no data on your iCloud calendar at iCloud.com. Correct?  If any data remains there, remove it and delete any calendars there.
    Turn  off ICloud on all devices.
    On your mac, I would Make a new copy of the calendars present. Highlight/select each calendar that is present, go to file menu select export and then export again.  Save these files seperatley from your other back up.
    Ok so now you have a clean iCloud at iCloud.com, and new and old back ups of the calendars on your mac.
    1st we will test the new back ups. Delete all calendars in iCal on your mac.  You may not be able to delete the home calendar but uncheck it.  So your Mac iCal should now be empty.  Double click on your new back up files and see if they recreate the calendars you saw before your last deletion.  If they do, then you know you can get back to the same place you are now if your older back up doesn't work.
    Assuming the above worked, then again delete all calendars on you mac. Restart your mac.  Double click on the file  Computers-Software iCal 161011.ics .
    This should recreate your iCal calendars the way they were before.  Then turn back on Calendar from the  ICloud preference pane. Go to Calendar in iCloud.com and see if the new calendars show up there.  If so, turn on iCloud on other devices.
    If for some reason this doesn't work, then you can restore your current iCal  calendar on your mac from the newest backups you just made.

  • ITunes trying to sync old podcasts (and failing!)

    I have a 30GB video iPod. Trying and it failing to sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro. Same problems happen with new shuffle so would seem to be an iTunes problem.
    First of all it says some items in the iTunes library including xxxx were not copied because they could not be found. It then gives a list of OLD podcasts that I can't find in iTunes or in finder.
    Is there a corrupt file that tells iTunes to look for old podcasts to sync with?
    It gets so far and then says "attempting to copy to the disk yyyyyy failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
    However it is NOT an iPod problem. The same iPod will sync fine with iTunes on a windows PC and a Shuffle suffers the same problem with this MacBook Pro.
    TIA

    Welcome to the Palm Support Community Emily, but I'm at a loss as to what you are asking... 
    What exactly is "the new operating system"?   Windows 7?   If so, what bit depth is it?  32bit or 64bit?
    What is "that file" you're referring to that you think is a .dll?   Your Contacts and Calendar data?
    What is "Outlook 7"?   Microsoft Outlook 2007?
    If indeed you've just obtained Windows 7, and it's the 64bit version, there is a way to sync the TX via a wireless method - either BlueTooth or Wifi.
    Please read the thread I wrote on "How to sync the TX and Vista64" at the top of this section.  It's very similar to Windows 7.
