ICal won't sync between computers / iphones

Since I started my free trial with mobileme, I have been trying to synch calendars between two desktop computers and two iPhones. No luck.
I have established a number of calendars on my me.com account, using my iMac. I also share these calendars with only those people I invite. I can see these calendars on the iCal on my iMac, but I cannot see these calendars on my MacBook Pro iCal. When I open an email on my MacBook Pro, alerting me to the Mobile Me calendar, I cannot join that calendar: "You can't join calendars you're sharing."
So how can I get all of the calendars to sync between both computers? If I resolve that problem, maybe the iPhone sync will resolve itself.

I got some help from MobileMe Support. Here's how they solved the problem.
On the laptop, open iCal and click the word iCal at top of the screen. Choose Preferences. 2. Click Accounts. 3. Click the plus button at the bottom of the page. 4. From the "Account Type," please choose "CalDAV." Enter your full MobileMe email address, including the @me.com suffix. If you don't include @me.com, the setup will not be successful. 5. Enter your MobileMe password. 6. For the Server address, please enter: cal.me.com 6. Click the Create button.

  • ITunes won't sync between computers!

    I have two macs, one a late 2010 Macbook Pro that I use for University, and a Mac Mini Late 2012 that I use whilst at home.
    I buy most of my music from the Mac Mini, but when I come to listen to it on my MBP, it won't sync! It doesn't happen the other way around because today I purchased something on my MBP and it synced fine to the MM.
    I've tried all the normal proedures; turning everything on and off again, going to Store > Check for Available Downloads but still nothing! It says everything is synced up nad its not! Very annoying!
    I look forward to anyones earliest reply,
    Ash

    Correct. iTunes does not sync between computers.
    It doesn't happen the other way around because today I purchased something on my MBP and it synced fine to the MM.
    You mean it automatically downloaded.
    going to Store > Check for Available Downloads but still nothing!
    Because it has already been downlaoded.
    It says everything is synced up nad its not!
    You mean it says everything has already been downloaded (not synced).
    On both computers...
    iTunes prefs > Store.
    Tick Music under Automatic downloads.
    Now when you purchase on one, the other will automatically download (not sync) new purchases.

  • ICal won't sync between Leopard & Tiger computers

    So, I'm loving Leopard on my Intel iMac and iBook, however the work cpu is still on Tiger for technical reasons.
    Problem: My iCal on the home computers doesn't sync with my work machine..... Am I doing something wrong (do I need to reset something), or is this a 'known' issue?
    I appreciate any info... (i'm having a tough time syncing my home/personal calendars! :))

    I found the solution last night -- and it involved resetting the sync data. I thought that I had already done this by resetting the sync data in the iSync application, but that was the wrong place.
    Here's what you should do:
    First decide which computer has your "master" calendar. For me that was the one with 10.4.11 on it, as I could get my 10.5.1 calendar events onto the 10.4.11 computer, but not vice-versa.
    Second, from the "master" computer, open up the .Mac preference pane, click on the "Advanced" tab, and then click "Reset Sync Data."
    When given the option, make sure that you use the data on your computer to replace the data on .Mac.
    Third, go to the 10.5.1 computer, and do the same thing (note that the .Mac pref pane is organized a bit differently).
    This time, make the sync direction go the other way -- from .Mac back to your 10.5.1 computer.
    Note that after clicking the "resent sync data" button, you are offered an option to limit things to just the calendars (excluding things like contacts, keychains, etc.). I recommend doing that.
    Note also that you might want to export the database from iCal (and/or Address Book) before doing this -- you can do that from the "File" menu in both apps -- it's just a good back-up strategy in case disaster strikes.
    That's it -- for me, everything synced properly between computers after doing these things.
    Note that there is an Apple Support Document I also found on this topic that spurred me to try this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301378
    Good luck,

  • ICal won't sync between iPhone and iPad

    My iCal will not sync from my iPad to my iPhone.

    If new events added to the calendar on your phone do not appear on your calendar on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your phone and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your phone to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com and your iPad now.

  • My ical won't sync with my iphone and ipad calendar?

    I cannot get my Mac ical  calendar to sync new appointments added from mac to iphone and ipad calendar.  I have downloaded iCloud. When I add a new appointment to my iphone it syncs rights away to my ipad calendar but not to my mac computer and vice versa.
    Any suggestions?

    On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon.  Turn on iCloud.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.
    One of the services is ICal. 

  • Ical won't sync with my iphone

    I just upgraded to 5.0 and did a full sync, by events entered on my computer ical do not appear on my iphone.  Not by cloud or hard sync.

    On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon.  Turn on iCloud.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.

  • ICal doesn't sync between my iphone and macbook pro

    It takes several hours for my iCal entries to show up on my iPhone, and yet many entries are still incorrectly identified by color (not picking up edits from laptop on iPhone). My iPhone is set to push updates every 15 minutes, and my laptop .Mac preference is to update automatically. Even when I plug in to laptop and sync in iTunes, it does not update iCal from my laptop to my iPhone.
    The Apple store geniuses completely replaced my MobileMe account a few weeks ago since they could not get my laptop & iPhone to sync and hadn't been since I opened the account last summer (apparently neither were talking to the cloud). Compared to not working at all, it synced much better after that, though inconsistently and with delay. Help me!!

    On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon.  Turn on iCloud.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.

  • Pages won't sync between computers in iCloud drive

    Since I upgraded to iCloud Drive, I can't get my documents to sync between my laptop and desktop.
    Before I upgraded, I could write on the laptop and it would sync with the desktop and vid-versa.
    I upgraded to Yosemite thinking this would solve the problem. it did not. I upgraded to pages 5.5 on both. Still no success. Any ideas, or is this something you can't do on Drive. And if you can't, is there a way to go back to the old Cloud? I hate moving files manually -- always afraid I'm writing over the wrong thing.
    Thanks.

    Hi matthewfromconifer;
    The following would be helpful, I suppose:
    1- Make a backup of iCloud Drive docs (for precaution) .
      2- Go to System Preferences > iCloud
      3- iCloud Drive > Options. Uncheck all the applications listed.
      4- Turn off iCloud Drive.
       5- Delete the CloudKit folder from:
              ~/Library/Caches
       6- Restart the Mac.
       7- Turn on iCloud Drive
      This completely resets iCloud Drive and downloads a clean set of data from iCloud.
    Regards,

  • Ical won't sync between two computers

    I have an Imac at work and an Ibook at home. Items entered on the Imac will always appear on both calendars and sync properly. Items posted at home on my Ibook, will NOT appear on my Imac at work. I also sync my address book and Safari Book marks and those always work fine . What do I need to do so that the items entered on my Ibook at home will appear on my Imac at work?
    Thank you.

    AlpineTom,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Be sure to try...MobileMe: How to reset sync data
    As stated in that article: "If you reset the sync data, be sure you reset it from the computer that has the most up-to-date information on it. If at all possible, before performing these steps, you should back up your data."

  • HT1386 My ical won't sync with my iphone 4s

    The calendar events on my iphone 4s won't synchronize with my ical on my macbook.  Please offer suggestions?

    Hi Chandraec,
    Do you have an iCloud account?  That is the easiest way to synchronize information between your Macbook and iPhone.
    The information below below will show you how to set it up:
    Apple - iCloud - Your info up to date on all your devices.

  • HT204053 icloud won't sync between computers

    I bought a film using my apple ID on my laptop, and it won't download on my other machines (mac Mini at home, iPhone, iPad) although I connect with the same Apple ID.
    Can you help?

    The film studios need to agree to it for a particular country before re-downloading will be possible there, but it is gradually improving (for a long time it wasn't possible anywhere, and then it was just USA, and now more countries are being added) -  what can be re-downloaded where.
    There are a number of ways that you could do it e.g. copying it to a flashdrive and then adding it (File > Add To Library) - though this page is specifically about music, the same principles should apply to films : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 e.g. if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you should be able to copy them via home sharing.

  • The 'work' calendar in ical won't sync with my iphone. All others ok

    I have HOME, WORK  and a google calendar. I have an Ipad2 and an iPhone. For both, under Info in iTunes, I have All Calendars slected. The ipad gets all three, the iPhone will not get WORK. I even unchecked ALL and chose them individually. Still no go.
    Thoughts?
    Thank you,
    R

    Sometimes resetting the phone and rebooting your computer will fix this.  Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  You will not lose any data doing this.  Now reboot your computer and try syncing again.

  • HT5225 I have an imac 24 , imac 27, mac book pro, airbook and Iphone 3G.  I have switched to icloud from mobile and all the computers synch with each other but data entered from my iphone in ical won't sync to the other computers.

    Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
    Thank-you

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.
