ISync quits prematurely when syncing palm with iCal

running OS X 10.5.1 on a new MacBook. trying to sync palm z22 with iCal. in iSync, only have "calendars" checked. sync runs for a short time, the iSync says "synchronization is complete" even though hotsync spins for awhile more. finally hotsync quits, saying the connection has been lost. i see the following in the hotsync log:
HotSync 3.2.1 started 1/1/08 11:39:16 PM

any suggestions?

I'm also having same problems with initial sync, iSync quits long before it is finished downloading all the stuff from my Palm E2. It is as if iSync times out then quits without checking to se if data transfers are complete

Can't sync Outlook with iCal - but only when I activate iCloud

I have seen discussions in the forums about problems syncing Outlook with iCal - however, that is not *exactly* my issue. I can sync them fine, until I put the resulting iCal calendar in iCloud. Then Outook (2011 for Mac) stops syncing with iCal (v. 5.0.3). I take it out of iCloud, it works. What I want to be able to do is: 1. Sync Outlook with iCal. 2. Sync iCal with my iPhone via iCloud.
I used to manually sync my iPhone (4s) with my work computer (which apparently I could go back to doing if I change the settings in my iPhone?) and just update my work calendar to get it on my phone (my home calendar syncs fine, but it's not integrated with Outlook). I don't want to only use iCal, because I get a lot of Outlook invites for meetings.
Is this a feature that's just not supported by Apple at this time? Do I need to upgrade my O/S? I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion).
In short, I just want my Outlook calendar on my iPhone (ideally, without having to manually sync).

What kind of iPad and iPhone are you working with.. and what Software version on (5.1.1) is the most recent..

Syncing Palm and iCal

My Palm used to sync perfectly with iCal, but it's suddenly stopped. The address book syncs just fine, but I can't for the life of me get iCal syncing again. Has anyone had this happen, and is there any way to reset the whole thing so I can get it going again? Thanks!

Thank you and apologies.
I did wonder about beginning a new thread but thought someone might yell at me for my question being too similar to others. Likely a needless concern as the posts on this site seem quite friendly.
The short answer to your copy/back up questions is no.
The last time I synced with Palm Desktop was on another hard drive. Thus, there is no back up of the information I just lost anywhere on this machine.
Terrible as this sounds, I have not been using iCal, and as previously stated just started back up with my Palm (in January). No matching info anywhere.
I've been quite naughty and had not attempted a sync until today, in part due to issues that needed sorting on the powerbook, and in part due to superstition. The last time I synced the Palm to the powerbook, the hard drive crashed. It died a painful death, somehow managing to suck all the info out of the Palm at the same time. I ended up with a blank Palm and a fried drive.
This after 2 years of no problems with Palm/Mac. The trauma drove me back to paper until this year.
Today was a new beginning of sorts, the first sync, but with info on both devices. What actually happened was this- the address book on my Mac was added to my Palm, the note pad on my Palm was added to my Mac, and the calendar and to do list on my Palm were wiped clean. Nothing actually synced, though everything was set to do so in both HotSync and iSync.
My software is current but now I am even more confused. Since posting, I've done more research on both the Apple and Palm sites. I'm finding some contradictory information regarding HotSync settings. Palm would have me change the address book, calendar, to do list, etc. from "synchronize" to "do nothing". I assume this is to allow the sync to the Mac programs vs. Palm Desktop? Quite frankly, I'm a bit afraid to try anything right now and have something else lost or over-written.
I'm usually quite competent and not such a dunce when it comes to this stuff, I'm feeling rather foolish. I know I cannot retrieve the info I lost from my Palm as I have no back up. I just had a magical hope there was a sneaky way to revert the Palm as iSync allows on the Mac. I'm just a crazy dreamer...
Unless there is a back door? Kidding.
So can you help out a very verbose girl who is having a huge DUH moment and fill me on the proper settings in both iSync and HotSync? If we could avoid any further loss of info them I'm certain we can avoid any loss of life or limb. That would be good. Thanks!

Sync Outlook with iCal

Hi,
I use Outlook and id like to sync it with iCal so that i can use iCloud to keep my calendar updated on my iPhone 4. The thing is that when I create an event on Outlook I want it to fall into an iCloud calendar on iCal. How do I do this?

Grateful TL,
You will probably need to access your Exchange server via Entourage to get the Calendar. If you are running a recent update of Entourage, Entourage can sync to your iCal calendar using SyncServices. SyncServices are used in conjunction with iSync or iTunes to sync with devices. Resetting Sync History is often a good troubleshooting step to try with any syncing issues.
As for your syncing with your Treo, that may be best asked in the iSync forum. However, generally it may work, but if it doesn't the iSync devices page suggests using other software.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
If you Treo is Palm OS based, you may be able to set it up like any other Palm OS device and sync. These article give instructions on setting it up to sync via USB or Bluetooth:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302120 (USB)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302227 (Bluetooth)
If your Palm Treo was provided by Verizon, it may have come with syncing disabled, in favor of Verizon's over the air syncing service. This article explains how to enable syncing so that it can Sync via iSync and Palm Desktop:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302064
Hope this helps,

I just wiped out my ENTIRE Entourage calendar syncing it with iCal. Help!

Hey there. I'm using Entourage 2004 and I foolishly decided to try syncing it with iCal using the Syncing pane in the Preferences Menu pictured below.
When I opened iCal to have it sync there was a dialogue with three choices and I chose the one that would have seemed to do the least damage. I can't remember now. The problem is, it wiped out my ENTIRE Entourage calendar. I didn't find this out until now when I brought the computer out of sleep. The last 4.5 years are gone. Absolutely nothing is there and the Office Notifications doesn't even start up.
Is there anyway to retrieve this at all? Can I rebuild the database or something? Anything? The kicker is iCal isn't even showing my dates from Entourage even though it started a new colour/calendar for it.
Please help!
15" Powerbook 1.33 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

if your phone is still turned on. for example......they overcharge you by $300 one month and just reduce the credit you will have with them. now 2 months before your contract is up, your credit is gone (because they overcharged). you still think you have $300 credit with them.....until they shut your phone off for not paying the bill. probably won't happen, but i just thought i'd throw a scenario out there, as it is very common to have disputes on cell phone bills.

Lost my apps when sync iPad with iTunes

when sync iPad with iTunes, apps purchased in iPad by another account were lost, and the apps can't be seen when check for available downloads. How to get back the purchased apps? thanks.

If you lost all your apps on both the iPad and the computer, you can download the apps again at no cost. You can search your emails for app store purchases if you can't remember all the apps that you have downloaded.

Disable or turn off your firewall, anti-virus, and all security software and try the download again.

Can i sync my palm with ical when I already have been using palm desktop??

i started syncing my palm to palm desktop but is there a way to use ical instead of palm desktop and still sync it?? is it isync??? i tried it but a bluetooth message came up...confused??

The Palm Desktop will not interact directly with iCal or an iPod Touch—or, any other iPod—at all.
To transfer your contacts to the Address Book, export them as a vCard file from the Palm Desktop and double-click the file to import it into the Address Book. To transfer your events to iCal, export them as a vCal file and double-click the file to import it into iCal.
There is no way to transfer either tasks or memos from the Palm Desktop to iCal or any other Apple-provided application: only contact and event data can be exported into a form supported by the Address Book and iCal.

Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Chuck

You're welcome.
You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

Sync phone with iCal deletes old events in iCal

Whenever I use iSync to sync my mobil phone old events in iCal are deleted. This never used to happen, I need the old events for work. Can anyone help?

I also upgraded to the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac v 1.0.6 (Build 16).
I synchronized my calendar and EVERYTHING from iCal was deleted. Fortunately, my Blackberry Calendar is intact. Despite this annoyance, this is still a major improvement over the first time I installed the desktop (sarcasm intended).
I also tried creating an event on iCal and synchronized. This new event sychronized with my Blackberry. When I open the event the Send Using entry is the same email address that I used for all my other entries on my Blackberry.
So basically, my Blackberry Events don't sync to my iCal, but my iCal events sync with my Blackberry.
<RANT> It is very baffling why RIM hasn't been able to solve these problems for the past 3 years. I'm still happier using Parallels with Microsoft Outlook (it hurts to say that) than using this unreliable product. It's things like these that prevent me from using my Mac Calendar and Address Book. The proposition value for switching to an iPhone is looking better every day.</RANT>

IPhone Calendar not syncing correctly with iCal since Lion-install

Since installing Lion, the calendar on my iPhone is not syncing correctly:
Events created on my iPhone don't show on my Mac
Events edited on my iPhone don't change on my Mac
Events that I created in iCal on my Mac, for test-purposes, and then deleted immediately, show up on the iPhone when syncing.
Syncing through iTunes (not MobileMe).
Using WeekCal on my iPone, but it seems that the same is the case with the "original" calendar-app.
No similar experience prior to Lion-install.
iPhone is iOS 4.3.4 -up to date
Any ideas? Does anybody know how to reset the sync, for instance?

Hi, my name is Lucas, i'm an Apple Certified Technitian.
Last couple of weeks i've installed OSX Lion in a few Macs.
But one of them drove me crazy!
I have a Late 2007 White Macbook and i installed OSX Lion last week. I also have an iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) that i also updated to IOS 4.3.5 ... no problems syncing between them
Then i did the same with a 13'' Unibody MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4 (not unlocked)... no problems neither
Yesterday i installed Lion on a Mid2010 15" MacBook Pro and updated another iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) to IOS 4.3.5 and when i tried to sync the iphone with iTunes 10.4 nothing happened.
I mean, nothing.. the iTunes started syncing and when it gets to sync the calendars it stayied there forever.
I left it for hours and nothing.
As i said i'm an ACT so i tried everything.
1- Remove Calendars from iPhone and syncing again
1- Repair Permittions
2- Reinstall iTunes
3- Reset iTunes and iCal Preferences and Caches
4- Backup iCal - erase ical content and generate a new iCal database
5- Reset Syncing Prefs and logs
6- Use DiskWarrior from an external OSX
7- Reset PRAM
Nothing worked.
I thought it could be some conflict with Microsoft Outlook and/or Exchange server since this Mac is the only one of the three macs i installed that uses Outlook Sync and Exchange server and it's the only one that gave me trouble.
But disableing it didn't worked neither.
THE SOLUTION
I Already solved this thing out. But i still don't understand the logic of all this... anyway, what y did is this:
1- turn off microsoft outlook sync with iCal (from outlook preferences)
2- Backed up iCals (Just in case)
3- Create a new Calendar Category (by default you have Work and Home... i created one called Test)
4- i Created a new task at that calendar
5- In iTunes uncheck the "Sync iCal" box and sync the iPhone
6- Check th "Sync iCal" box, then check the "sync the selected calendars" box
7- Check the "Test" calendar and sync the iPhone.
This worked so i started creating task in this Test Calendar both in iphone and mac, just to test it, Worked fine.
Then i selected all the other calendars (Home - Work - etc) and i turned on the outlook sync
Then i synced the iPhone and Voilà everything is working again.
Now i can create task in outlook calendar and when y sync the iphone it appears on it.
I don't know what the problem is... but this looks like the solution
HOpe it works for you!
