Isynch not synching with .mac address

Can anyone help me? About 18 months ago my G4 imac suffered a hard disc failure and the disc had to be replaced. The engineer who rebuilt it set up a dummy user id and on returning the mac we reverted to our own user id. However when I sign on to .mac on system preferences and get the message that the password is valid and try to synch, I get the following message "Invalid .Mac Username or Password. Please verify your .Mac Member Name and Password in .Mac System Preferences." yet it's already told me that the password is valid so why won't it synch? means I can't update my itunes library,etc and getting worried I'll lose everything before long...help anyone?

Hi Phillip, thanx for your message. Yes, this is the funny thing is that I sign on at .mac sys prefs and it says I am signed on, but then when u hit the synch tab on .mac prefs it says that I am not?? Any idea?

Ical not synching with .mac account

We have our set up in our preferences to sync ical with our .mac account, so we can access it away from home. Everytime we log on to our account, it still show it hasn't ben synched, although when I go in the preferences, it shows the box checked so it should sync. Any suggestions? This is frustrating, because it is showing not synched in .mac account and synched on my computer....

iCal does get synced with the .Mac servers, but there is no webinterface available for calendars. However, you can sync your iCal between multiple Macs using that feature.
The only way to access your calender using any machine and the web is to publish your calender. See here for more details:

Iphone not synching with mac

My iphone will not synch with my MAC. This just started. Iphoto says my phones name in the left nav bar then shows that no photos are available to upload. I have taken newer photos so this is not the case. The first time I tried it said something was locked. I went through all of my settings on my iphone5 and nothing seems to be locked. I rebooted my MAC as that was suggested by someone and that did not work.

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

Why is iCloud not syncing with mac address book

Addresses changed on Mac are not reliably going to the icloud. Calendars work fine, but not addresses?
Lion on MacBook Pro
Mike

Turns out I was cloning a contact using copy and paste. This created the new contact on Lion and I could edit the name to a new one, etc. however, that contact was not going to iCloud. I sent it to my email as an attachment. When opened on iPad or iPhone in iOS5 the contact info was all blank. Wow, what a surprise! Doesn't sound right to me but that is what is happening. Any contact I fully enter or edit anywhere updates thru iCloud on Lion, iPad or iPhone.
At least I now understand the behavior...don't like it, but now I know not to create contacts with copy/paste!
So does anyone know of an easy way to clone contacts when I have a dozen people to add from the same address?

My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4. Any idea what I should do?

I can't figure out what's going on. Been working on this all day. Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything. The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list. I use quickbooks 2012 for mac. It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac. If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac. But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone. If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book. It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks. No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone. It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks. I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

My macbook pro synchs to iphone, but iphone notes and address book do not synch with my laptop

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

Ical calendar on my mac not synching with iCloud

icloud calendars is checked in system preferences, however my ical appears empty on my macbook pro. Why is my iphone calendar not synching with ical in macbook pro even though icloud preferences are properly set up?

I wish I'd found this earlier. Here's some info that takes Winston's solution a bit further:
I just spent a bunch of time with Apple and have solved my similar problem. A week ago, iCal and my iPhone calendar stopped syncing. My assortment of iCal calendars were gone from iCloud, so that was the problem (not phone to iCloud). After much de-selecting and re-selecting, I realized that all my important calendars were @me.com type. I tested the iCloud calendars, and they functioned perfectly. Apple explained a simple way to migrate the @me.com calendars to iCloud:
Create a new iCloud calendar File > New Calendar > iCloud
Name the calender
Right click the old @me.com calendar and choose Export. Desktop is a good destination.
Drag the exported calendar from your desktop to the new iCloud calendar
iCal should show duplicates of all events in the @me.com calendar.
De-select the @me.com calendar. The duplicates will disappear.
Repeat with all the @me.com calendars and abandon this antiquated list.
Rejoice in your shiny new list of iCloud calendars that shows up everywhere it is supposed to.
There must be a lot of people out there who still have @me.com calendars, so I hope this info reaches them before they all spend time and money with Apple trying to sort it out.

Hi,
For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited. To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
bit (locally administered) in the second nibble. Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
In other words
MAC address: “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal. The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is Y: “kmnp”, where “p” is the least significant bit;
p=0 --> unicast;
p=1 --> multicast;
n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
n=1 --> locally administered;
So, actually MAC can be changed to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
“Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support.

IPad calendar fails to synch with Mac mini

How can I fix a recent failure of iPad calendar to synch with Mac mini? iTunes no longer saks me about ocnflicts between the iPad and the computer.

While waiting, I found the fix in another thread:
Open iSync on main computer with iPad attached and turned on.
Choose "Reset sync history".
That is all there is to it. The "Sync" still did not recognize two events scheduled for the same time, one in one sub-calendar on the iPad, and in another one on the Mac Mini. I wound up with two choir practices, one in blue and one in pink on both devices. Should it have noticed these and asked me about them?
I also read elsewhere that it messes up the iPad to change an event from one calendar sub-heading to another. I will avoid doing that in the future.

802.1x authentication with mac address

Hi guys,
there is a strange requirement from one of our customer,
they want us to do 802.1x with mac address authentication and they dont want the pop-ups which ask
for username, password and domain.
is it possible??
can i avoid popping up the username password with 802.1x and that too with mac address???
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Jvalin

Hi,
The feature which you are looking for is possible in case of wired 802.1x. This feature is called as the MAC-Auth Bypass and is done mostly if the client machine is not 802.1x capable. However nowerdays it is used even if the machine is 802.1x capable.In this we enter the MAC address of the machine in the user database e.g. Active Directory. When you connect the client machine to the Switch, if we have MAC-Auth Bypass enabled on the port, it would take the MAC address of the machine as the username without any prompt for username and password.
A windows server admin can easily push a group policy which disables the 802.1x on the client machine and it would only respond to the MAC-Auth Bypass.But first you would have to make sure your switch has the Mac-Auth Bypass in the IOS.
For more information, you can go to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/solution/macauthb.pdf
