ICal wont sync due to inconsistent data

I get an error message saying... Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent date. Confirm that your computers data is valid *+(not sure how to do this)+* then reset Calendars on .Mac in system preferences. *+( I have done this and had no luck)+*
I have also gone into isync and reset my sysc history and then re-synced... having all my computer data be replaced by the .Mac data. i get the same error.
I have 3 machines that should all be synced. I have just done a clean install on all machines in the following order:
a mac mini, a Powermac G5, and my Macbook. The macbook is the problem machine. the other 2 systems are synced perfectly.
Any advice?

Dude,
Thanks!!!
I did two clean installations on my 2 MBPs to leopard starting Friday night and Finishing tonight. I opted to not migrate data because I wanted to leave all my messy Tiger stuff and start again.
My first MPB must be the dominant one on .Mac because
MBP-2 >> .Mac >> MPB-1 didn't work .. if it weren't for your reply I wouldn't have tried the other way around and would have just given up until next weekend.
Thanks.

Palm T|X and ical wont sync.

My Palm T|X and ical wont sync. I never had this problem with 10.4, but now that I am running 10.5.1 everything else syncs fine, except ical. I have reinstalled Palm Desktop and reset my conduit per Palm's recommendations, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

I have a palm tungsten E2 and I was able to sync with ical using Tiger and Palm's own hotsync feature, but not with Leopard. Check out markspace.com. They have a beta version that is the missing link. I am nervous to try a beta. I'm hoping that Apple will get their isync worked out.

Phone wont sync due to existing purchases

I have been trying to download a prototype app to my phone and keep getting error messages - can't sync due to existing purchases not authorised etc. When I authorise the computer I get a "can't authorise the computer" message. I did this a couple of months ago with no problems.

Have you tried using the reset for network settings? For the wifi to be reset.
And to answer your other question, messages are stored locally and on your iCloud (iCloud uses mobile data to store data) and if you're using a windows pc, use the explorer to navigate to the DCIM of the phone and drag all the folders in there to your desktop (for quick reference).
If its mac then I would use ifunbox or any other similar program that will allow access to the root of the iPhone.

Since upgrading to Maverick Ical wont sync on ipad and iphone 4

iCal (7.0) wont sync with iPad (7.1) or iPhone (7.1) since upgrading to Maverick (10.9.2). I noticed iTunes (11.1.5) no longer has the 'info' tab I used to go to for settings. How do I sync my Mac, iPad and iPhone with iCal and Address book?

For some of us, the additional problem is that once you give in and go iCloud, no rep will tell you there are iCloud limits on iCal's size, so that if you're calendar is say 10 years old, with 10 events per day, and there's a 25K event limit, it won't work, even if you buy all the storage in the world. Which means that's syncing is OVER.
So far I've tried three alt calendars: Fantastical (rated one of the top iCal alts); Pocket Informant (allegedly capable of superpowers); and Calendars. Not a single one is able to do the one simple task of
1) integrating an ical ics file,
2) placing a calendar program on the desktop and the iPhone
3) keeping them both in sync.
This is really getting to annoy me. Chelsea, a tech support supervisor, offered that if I pay $99/year I can become a developer and get the next beta iTunes which will allegedly offer local syncing. Great.

Address Book won't sync with MobileMe - inconsistent data!

I recently began getting 'Inconsistent Data' messages when I sync with MobileMe for my Address Book. I have always had an auto sync and never had this issue. I am told to reset the MobileMe data from another computer - which I have tried to do but with similar error results.
My most recent data is on MobileMe...I have so far failed to sync this data set with what's on my Mac Platforms.
I have tried to resort to merge data or erase data on this computer from the sync options dialogue box, but still end up with "inconsistent data. Try resetting your data on MobileMe".
I'm afraid that if I did that, then I will lose all my current data on MobileMe - which is the most recent, since most of my input for my contacts is made directly from my iPhone or iPad (both of which are syncing correctly).
Anybody have any ideas?

I have the exact same problem but have not been able to get my computers to sync with contacts although my iphone and Ipad are working perfectly. I tried deleting all my contacts in both mobileme and locally and tried to sync but was unsuccessful and still get the inconsistent data message. I hope someone can help us.

Ical wont sync with phone

I can put stuff on my phone and I can't get it to my computer. but i can put stuff on my Ical and it goes to my phone. I have sync multiple times and get nothing

this what i did, i think i fixed it
if you've been having problems entering calendar events on your iphone and not having them show up on iCal after sync, or sometimes even disappearing, try this:
* I noticed a weird tendency for the iphone to try to add new entries into a read only calendars (subscribed calendars, birthday calendars) during a sync, as those calendars cannot be modified, iphone entries won't show on ical.
this is how i fixed it:
I want iPhone calendar to show all my iCal events too, but to make it work you gotta follow those steps,
1. make sure you keep a record of all your iphone entries as they will be removed.
2. in ituens select sync with selected calendars, un-select all read only / birthday calendars.
3. Sync your iphone,
4. go to Ical and drag all read only/birthday calendars to the top. (having them by the bottom will keep the problem)
5. choose that iphone entries sync with the bottom calendar on your iCal list.
6. you can enable all Calendar sync in itunes of like,
7. try to enter something on your iphone and sync, it should work,
so as long as you have your read only calendars on top of the list in iCal and the iphone entries are syncing with the most bottom Calendar on iCal. you should be OK until apple fixes this bug.

Ical wont sync w .mac

I get an "inconsistancy" error w ical & .mac.I have no idea what this is or how to correct !!

OK, I was having this problem, but I have got it resolved now. First, when you say "this is the only data you have," what do you mean? You should have at least two sets, one on your computer and one on .Mac. If this is the case, the solution is to go to the .Mac preferences, go to advanced, select "Reset Sync data...", select that you want to go from the good source (your computer) to the bad (.Mac). Click OK, let it Sync, and you're done.

Ical wont sync

So I noticed recently that even though I'm updating iCal with new events, they aren't transfering over to my phone. I've tried resetting isync, basically everything short of a restore. I've looked but can't find anything quite like this. Anyone have any ideas?

This is a complicated, multifaceted issues but the executive summary is this: synchronization between a Palm device and any Macintosh desktop or portable computer under Mac OS X 10.5 or later, using iSync 3 or later and the iSync Palm Conduit, does not work properly.
It may be some time before the several issues involved are resolved, so I recommend that you take a look at the far more flexible and powerful Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space. While the release I pointed to is not yet certified for use with Mac OS X 10.5 or later, a compatible nearly ready for prime-time beta release—currently release 6.0.2b7—is available here.

ICal wont open due to issue with Webex plugin how do i get it to open or remove plugin

Whenever I try to open iCal i get the message iCal quit unexpectedly while using the Webex Plugin plugin. don't know what to do next.

Greetings,
I use WebEx all the time and have never heard of an iCal / WebEx plugin but it sounded intriguing so I did some google searches and looked at Cisco's website and could find no reference there either. If you have any idea where this plugin came from I would be curious to know (it might be useful if it were working).
Try running the Mac Cisco-WebEx Uninstaller and see if that helps.
What version of the Mac OS are you running?
What version of iCal are you running?
Create a new user account on the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Login to that user and test iCal -- does it work in this new user?
Cheers.

Won't sync calender with mobileme "inconsistent data error message"

I have tried about everything that I can think of but can't seem to solve this problem.
I have a new Macbook Pro and have been using mobileme and ical for some time now. I can't get my Macbook Pro to sync with mobileme ical. It does sync with the address book, but when it gets to the ical portion it tries and then reports "can't sync due to inconsistent data on this computer. Correct data and resync calender".
I have no idea what the "inconsistent data" is. My computer gets its time from apple.com and the time/date is correct. What is the inconsistent data. My calender and schedule is a critical issue. Please help.

Errors in syncing can happen for all sorts of reasons - loss of network connectivity, for instance - and it might be necessary to reset the synced data from a reliable source. It's not talking about deleting anything - unless you have data on your new computer that you need to retain.
The document says that if you have this problem on your new machine, you probably need to overwrite that local data with data from MobileMe.
Personally, I've never lost any data with dotmac or MobileMe, so my experience is it can be relied on. I do, however, keep backups of all my data as well.
