ICal won't sync to .Mac or iPhone

Fellow Mac Chauvinists,
I have my three Macs synced through .Mac as well as to an iPhone. Most sync processes work fine except for iCal on the "master" computer, my Mac Book Pro. Calendar changes made on the Mac Book Pro do not go to either of my other computers or to the iPhone. Changes made elsewhere do not show up on the Pro but they do show up on the other secondary computer and on the iPhone, after appropriate syncs, even though the iPhone is synced to the Pro. Changes made on the Pro DO show up on the web calender that I publish to .Mac.
I have tried reseting the data on .Mac using the advanced option of sync.
I have tried removing the iCal preferences. (com.apple.iCal.plist)
I have tried reinstalling iCal from my 10.5 install disk. At the end of that process, I was NOT able to install the 10.5.2 Combo update. I got the message ... "You cannot install Mac OS X Update Combined on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
iCal on my Pro now shows to be version 3.0 (1204). On my Powerbook it is 3.0.2 (1236)
I see that several people on this forum are having similar problems.
This problem started several weeks ago and I have been piddling with it since. My memory does not allow me to tie it to any particular event such as an update or system crash.
Any more suggestions, maybe some way to get that Combo update to work?
Thanks,
Bill Nash

Fixed by 10.5.3!

  • ICal won't sync from mac to iphone or the other way

    I have found that my iPhone calendar is not being updated when I sync with the iMac - and it doesn't appear to work the other way either.
    It used to work perfectly and I haven't changed anything.
    I have made sure all the boxes for syncing calendars are checked but that has made no difference.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

  • TS3991 iCal won't synce with Mountain Lion & iPhone 4s

    I can't get iCal to sync with Mountain Lion & iPhone 4s via iCloud. Is there a simple way to make this work?

    Okay, did some comparing and it appears only ALL DAY events are displaying on the wrong day. Anything I have set with a specific time shows up on the correct day. Found a reference on the Internet that explains this.
    Apparently, according to that source, the computer considers a day to START at 12:00 am, so an all day event displays on the computer on the correct day which begins at midnight. But the iPhone considers a day to END at 12:00 am so all day events are posted BEFORE midnight of the correct day, which is the wrong day.
    What I don't understand is WHY Apple has the iPhone using different criteria than their computers? This "bug" apparently goes back to the original iPhone iOS. Why haven't they reprogrammed it by now?
    I have an appointment with Apple for next week to have someone call me and I will discuss it with them. Hopefully, they'll have an answer for me on how to fix my events to display correctly. If not, I guess I'll have to change all day events to begin and end at specific times. Which means deleting birthdays from the Address Book and creating calendar entries for each one. What a nuisance that will be!
    ETA: AND I won't be able to rely on the US Holidays calendar. *sigh*

  • ICal won't sync to mobile me, iPhone, or iPad.  On my iMac I went to preferences, mobile me, set it to sync, and even did a sync-now.  It syncd everything else, contacts etc, but not iCal.  Went to calendar preferences and it won't let me sync at the bott

    Contacts etc sync fine.  Went to calendar preferences and it won't let me sync cuz it says:  Your mobileme suscr info is not correct or you did not turn on sync in mobile me prefs  - well, my mobile me subscription must be ok, I'm in and out of it easily enough, checked the acct fields, and my other stuff is working fine.  I did go to mobile me prefs and it is all set to sync, calendar is checked, it says the last sync was 15 min ago.  Ak!  What is up?  I did just upgrade the mobile me calendar.  Is that my problem?

    There's no simple answer to that. My calendar goes back to 2004 and is moderately busy; it took around an hour. It's possible that you've hit a slow period on the server - it happens.
    In order for it to work, your calendars should show on the MobileMe site, they should be listed under your MobileMe login name in the calendar list in iCal (calendars listed under 'On My Mac' will not sync) and your MM account details have to be entered in iCal Preferences>Accounts (this should have happened by itself).
    If it's not working please see the page I linked to.

  • ITunes won't sync from Mac to iPhone 6

    I have a MacBook Pro using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
    I use iTunes 12.1.26.
    I recently bought an iPhone 6, 64gb version 8.1.2 and am trying to put the music I have on iTunes on my Mac into my new iPhone 6.
    It's not working.
    I connect the two via the USB cable that came with the phone, and the Mac registers that they are connected. While the two are connected I can play songs from my Mac on the iPhone if I have Home Sharing switched on, but that is it. When I try to sync them and transfer songs over, it says that the sync is in progress, and goes through 4 syncing steps in order; however the total time is only about 4 seconds and no music transfers. The total music is about 11gb and the iPhone does register that about that much memory should be used up by a sync. I have pressed every 'sync' button I can find more times than I can count and nothing works.
    I have absolutely no idea what to do and no forum that I have been on yet has an explanation.
    If anyone has any ideas for how to help me (using basic terms please because I'm not that savvy with computers) I would really appreciate it.

    mine will appear to sync then after its complete the display bar showing memory usage  immediately retracts to how it was before syncing. I've tried turning off my phone and re-downloading the latest iTunes, I have a mac book pro. please help I only got a phone with a lot of memory so that I could have music!

  • IMessage won't sync between Mac and iPhone

    Ever since iOS 7 upgrade, I am having issues with iMesage but only with one user specific.  iMessage works on my phone when being used in a iPhone to iPhone usage however my GF has a Mac Pro and a iPad and iMessage works fine with she's using her devices and I am using my Mac Air however when it goes to auto sync to my iPhone it only syncs my messages that I am sending. I receive her messages on my Mac Air however they don't sync or are received on my iPhone.
    I have not tried a iPhone to Mac conversatino with another person. 
    I have tried removing my Apple ID from my phone and re-logging in.  No change.  I have turned off iMesage on my phone and no change.  My Mac Air and iPhone both have the same accounts selected to recieve messages.
    Anyone have any ideas? Its a tad bit annoying.

    I used to receive messages on my iPhone and iMac.  Now I get them only on one machine or the other and I do not get the complete conversation history on the iMac.

  • 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.

    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.

  • My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

    My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

    I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

  • 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.

  • Ical won't sync unless I upgrade to ML?

    OK, Mac Pro 2007,  Snow Leopard. I can no longer sync ical and other things from mac to iphone. I relied on this every single day. I'm told I may not be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion with my machine. Graphics card was upgraded (ATI Radeon HD 5770) so I could connect a 24" display. The icloud sync is the only reason I want to upgrade. I am so mad they took away manual sync. It will only sync ical via icloud and icloud won't sync this OS.
    any suggestions, any way to go back to old itunes, lose icloud, I wouldn't care.

    Yes, I got my answer. Apple Support was nice enough to help. Turn off ical on the iclound settings on iphone, then a manual sync to ical is available in itunes, otherwise it's not.

    Problem : IPad Mini connects to iTunes OK, can be seen in iTunes and I can select which movies to sync to it etc.  When I hit the "apply" button after making a change (ie deleting or adding a movie) the sync lasts just a second then the "sync" button remains greyed out, and I can't make them sync.

  • My problem is that my iCal won't sync from my first-generation iPad to my computer, and the computer sends events multiple times back to the iPad... which is now full of duplicate events. I'm NOT on iCloud.

    I'm just an old lady who doesn't know a lot about this stuff, but I do love my iPad and miss my portable calendar! My problem is that my iCal won't sync from my (first-generation, cheaper of the two models) iPad to my computer, and the computer sends events multiple times back to the iPad... which is now full of duplicate events. I'm NOT on iCloud. I've had this problem for nearly a year now. My Really Really Smart son couldn't fix it for me.

  • So iCal won't sync as I've had to change my gmail password.  Anyone figured out how to fix this?

    So iCal won't sync now as I've had to change my gmail password.  Anyone figured out how to fix this?

    Yes, I go to Settings>Mail>Gmail. I've deleted the old Gmail account and added it back with the new password. I've also deleted the account, shut down the iPad and iPhone and then re-add the Gmail account with the new password and it still doesn't work for either device. The error messages I get are:
    For the iPad: Cannot Connect Using SSL
    For the iPhone: The user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.

  • ICal won't sync from my MacBook Pro to MobileMe

    iCal won't sync from my MacBook Pro to MobileMe.  But MobileMe entries appear on iCal on the MacBook. My iPhone and iPad work fine.  Any suggestions?

    Hi melindybek ,
    You are awesome and already a step ahead! The logs are blank, because by default they are off. If its necessary to turn them on the directions on, instructions of how to to this are at the end.
    To check if they are both on the updated version, its possible to check by going to accounts.firefox.com to see if you are logged in. If so, both are updated. If not, how to update: sign in at that address to be on the new one.
    Toggling the sync may jumpstart it too. Removing the account and adding it back starts a fresh sync, or Tools > Sync Now.
    * How do I turn on sync logs:
    # Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
    # Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
    # Logs and error messages will be located here
    Please also use pastebin.mozilla.org for sharring any errors that relate to this issue.
    Thank you.
