Itunes info selected calendars shows non-current iCal list -- why?

Hello, I just purchased an iPhone (3.1.2) and wanted to sync a couple selected calendars from my mac onto my iPhone. Problem is that the list of "Selected calendars" does not have the 2 new ones I created for this purpose, and worse, is showing a few I thought I deleted a while ago.
Does anyone know where I would look for the root problem and better yet -- how I might fix this?
thanks

Here's the answer:
I migrated from one mac to another mac a month ago and used migration assistant. Calendars all looked good. I subsequently did calendar maint -- deleted a couple and created a couple new ones. NP, they all work fine in iCal. Then I bought an iPhone and wanted to sync my 2 new calendars to the phone.
Problem: in iTunes, the "Selected calendars" list is old, not current. I notice that in users/../library/calendars are by timestamp, what I guess are my calendars. But in users/../library/application support/ical there are files timestamped from the day I migrated, and the same number of files as calendars that I had before.
If I remove all files from users/../library/calendars and restart iCal, it recreates all my calendars as they appeared on migration day, so I assume getting them from the second location, which I assume iTunes is also???
What I ended up doing was after having iCal recreate the calendars from the second location, I imported all of the .ics files for the newly created calendars in users/../library/calendars from my backup -- always backup before messing with things -- into new calendars in iCal. Though this all seem crazy redundant.
Now iTunes see the correct calendar list. No idea why I had to go through all of this.

Troubleshoot: when I try to update my Iphone 4 (ios 4.3.3) to the latest ios via itunes. It gives me a message "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." Why?

Hello - I am trying to update my Iphone 4 from its current Ios (4.3.3) to the latest Ios (7.x.x?). I currently do not sync using icloud, and have only started syncing to my itunes today.
So far, I have backed up my Iphone using Itunes, transferred all my purchases using Itunes, and imported all my photos using Iphoto.
Then clicked on my Iphone in the left hand Column and in the screen that appeared found the "Update" button. Next to the update button read "A newer version of the iPhone software is available (version7.0). To update your iPhone with the latest software, click Update."
I then clicked the "Update" button and a pop-up message reading "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." appeared.
Please advise why this happened, and how I should go about restoring and updating this Iphone.
After updating to the latest IOS, my next step will be to sign up for iCloud.
Thanks clever mac folk!

Hello hsielglad,
Thank you for your question. iTunes 11.1 is required to update to and sync with iOS 7. If you are still running iTunes 10.6.3, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

Lightroom does not show on the download list, why?

I have just jointed CC and DL'd PS, but LR does not show up on the DL list of programs....? what's up with this?

If you have a perpetual Licensed version of LR 5 installed or a trial version you need to uninstall it. With a normal uninstall your user files, presets, catalog will remain in place.
Shutdown your system and reboot, then open the CC application manager and Lightroom cc should be available for download.
Both versions of Lightroom are identical only the licensing process is different.

Can't select calendar with creating event on iPod touch

Hi everyone - Thanks in advance for your help!
Here's the deal:
I have 4 calendars on Google Calendar. I use google's "Calaboration" to push those calendars to apple ical on my macbook pro. Those calendars then show up just as they should on my ipod touch. All that works like a song. Couldn't be happier.
To be clear, those are the ONLY 4 calendars I use. I have not, and don't plan to create any others in ical.
HOWEVER, when I try to create an event using my IPT, it will not allow me to select which of those 4 calendars I want to use. I can see the field where I would do so, but it's grayed out. Instead, it creates a 5th calendar called, creatively "calendar" and puts the event there.
The new "calendar" shows up in ical on my MBP, but of course does not sync to google.
What's worse, I can't even change which calendar I want it to show up on in ical on my MBP.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think I solved it unless someone knows a better way (likely). I went from manually manage to auto sync. That drastically increased my free space. Apparently that made the "keep only newest episode" command go from itunes to the ipod.
Once my space was freed up I went back to manually manage so I could use smart playlists again.

ITunes INFO - iCal - where does it find "selected calendars" How to change?

I'm just wondering in iTunes info, for Syncing iCal calendars, where are the files located on the hard drive that it finds to sync?
Reason: I had alot of probs with iCal and deleted it. I plan on reinstalling from my OS disk, but for now it still shows some file names, and has duplicate names showing in that area on iTunes and I cannot find out how to remove those file names nor where they are. I tried looking for the file names in Spotlight and can't find them; I also checked the "library" in both HD and my home folder and all sub folders- still not luck.
How do I remove the lists of those names in that sync window for "selected calendars" to start again?
(ie: I'm currently using Thunderbird calendar and can export calendars there as ".ics" type files to desktop and want iTUNES to find THOSE files and show them so I can then sync to my itouch and have calendars on my iTouch...if really needed I will reinstall iCal from OS disk then import those desktop files there, then maybe it will show up in iTunes? I'd rather just be able to remove list of selected calendars and have the ones on desktop now show up there-any way to do this?)

ITunes only shows old deleted iCal calendars

My iTunes only shows old deleted iCal calendars. How do I get it and iCal resynced?

That was useful help. I thought iSync was cremated 2 years ago with the advent of Tiger and was only used to sync phones and pdas. Further, I have searched 'elsewhere' and have not found any other solutions.

I have subscribed to US Holidays calendar. These holidays show up on iCal on my iPhone and on my iPad, but not on iMac. When I "get info" for that calendar, "location" is set to iCloud.

I have subscribed to US Holidays calendar in iCal. These holidays show up in iCal on my iPhone and on my iPad, but not on iMac. When I "get info" for that calendar, "location" is set to iCloud.

I found this link (trash Calendar Cache and iCal.plist), and it solved my problem. https://discussions.apple.com/message/11084987?searchText=ical%20us%20holidays%2 0not%20showing%20on%20imac#11084987

Un -subscribed calendars showing in up in some lists but not in ical

Hi
Sorry i have an odd problem that i can't seem to solve.
I'm using 10.6.4 and mobile me to sync data across multiple devices i have recently bought an ipad and on turning mobile me syncing on, some old subscribed calendars have "popped up" on the ipad (which i thought was impossible !)
e.g. UK holidays was once subscribed in ical on my mac but had been deleted - this is now showing with current events and is listed twice in the calendar drop down on the ipad calendar app
in trying to resolve this i have noticed that the once subscribed calendars do show in itunes on the info tab twice (ITUNES > MY DEVICE > INFO > CALENDARS) so they must be held some where on my mac but
1) how can i get rid of them from my mac?
2) how can i get rid of them off my ipad?
i have tried resting mobile me data on mobile me
deleting All calendars and restoring to a previous back up
none have got rid of these calendars
any suggestions would be great!

Isolating this problem will likely require obtaining the account usernames and a possibly a request to share your content with someone at Adobe. Rather than asking you to provide that on the forum, I would recommend that you forward your description to [email protected] Someone will contact you directly to obtain the necessary details for the investigation.
Thanks,

My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

Need to have the calendars on my iPhone to show up in iCal on my Mac.

Today I was at the area Apple store working with a Genius. I had two Apple IDs, one I had used for some time and a second created when I set up a Mobile Me account a couple of years ago. Because I had two IDs, syncing was all messed up. The genius led me through the process of essentially making one ID incactive (the Mobile Me ID) and having the other one be the primary one.
What we essentially did was to delete the old iCloud account associated with the Mobile Me ID and set up a new one. When the box showed up that said essentially, "If you move this Mobile Me account to iCloud, you will lose the calendar data on your Mac," he told me just to click it and proceed.
Everything with the syncing worked as it should. However, when I got back to the office, I found out that all my calendars on my Mac are now gone. I did some online searching on the Apple site and, duh, I realize what the box said, and that I should have backed up the calendars. But I was trusting the Genius, he had me clicking boxes in rapid fashion, and I just followed his advice. I assumed, He did NOT ask if I needed the data on those calendars and did I want to back up.
Because the calendars were associated with my old ID, the one that is now disabled, they are not active on either my Mac or the iCloud website. However, when I look on my iPhone, the old calendars associated with my old ID are still showing up. VERY GOOD. Now I just need to know how to get those calendars into iCal on iCloud and thus back on my computer.
When I touch the "Calendars" button at the top left of my monthly view screen on my iPhone and then can see the calendars that were associated with the old ID, the question I have is why they're even showing up on my iPhone at all, as it is also associated with the current ID and iCloud. But that is another issue. I just want to get them back onto my Mac. These are my major work/life calendars, and I don't need them to disappear. HELP!

If the old account was or had been upgraded to an iCloud account as you seem to be implying, you should be able to add it back to your mac as a secondary account (system preferences > mail, calendars & contacts. This should cause both accounts calendars to show up in iCal (click the calendar button -top left corner- to confirm this. Then you should be able to copy the calendars across to your new account by following the instructions below.
Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.
I'm guessing the reason your calendars show on your phone is because that account is enabled as a secondary account there.

Suddenly, events entered in Calendar on iPhone are not showing up in iCal or iCloud

Until late November, i had an iPhone 4s with iOS 5.   Then i got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8. As previously, when i would enter an event in the Calendar, that data would also show up in my iCal calendar and on my iCloud calendar, until the last couple of days. Now, new entries are not showing up on iCal or iCloud. I encountered the problem that my iPhone, 64G, is being backed up to the iCloud and after two backups, taking up 2.4G each, my 5G of iCloud storage was used up. I speculated that this was why my phone data stopped syncing to the other calendars on the computer and cloud, though i did not know for sure. I deleted one of the two back ups and am about to delete the other one. I have never had this problem of running out of iCloud storage on my other phone. According to Settings>iCloud>Storage, i had 89MB. But since i have deleted one of the 2.4G backups (which was "incomplete") my new entries are still not showing up in iCal and on the iCloud.
Is there a way to get this feature to work again?
Are there things i can check or uncheck in settings or in Calendar or ??   that will get this to work well as it did in iOS 5?

ckuan - thank you for replying. i am really desperate for help. I have wasted so much time on this. I was on hold with Apple support for a long time and then had a call with a rep that lasted over an hour but he didn't know anything about issues of these kinds. i was put on hold a lot while he consulted. He did agree that the data wasn't syncing from iPhone to iCloud and iCal because the iCloud storage was used up by the iPhone back ups. So he advised deleting one of them. I now have 2.4G of storage on iCloud. Am i wrong to think that should be enough?   I still ave the original complete back up (2.4g) undeleted, in case there some reason that i need it. i don't like deleting things i don't have a good understanding of.
Following your instructions, i went to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars. I then scrolled down to Calendars and at the bottom, i see where it says Default Calendar. This raised new questions for me which i will ask you/others now:
On the Default Calendar page, there is a heading that says iCloud and there is a second heading that says my gmail email address, [email protected]. Under the iCloud heading, there is a list of 8 "calendars," called Work, Family, Pets, Home, etc. Under the gmail address heading, there is only one option listed, which is my gmail username. When i went to the Default Calendar option, as i think you suggested if i understood you right, i found that the Calendar with the checkmark next to it was the gmail user name, under the gmail address heading. Presumably, this is the same setting i had on my 4s with iOS 5.
I wanted to follow your instruction to change this to iCloud as Default Calendar. but the only option i have is to choose only one of those 8 "calendars," either Work, or Pets, or Home, etc. Does this make sense?   The only reason i know for having these many different calendars was to give different colors to the different event categories. I didn't really want them to be separate calendars. i just wanted to use the color coding for type of event in my overall calendar.
I don't know why this is suddenly so complicated and confusing, after working fine for the first two or three weeks i've had the new iPhone. Suddenly, when i enter events in Calendar, it's not reaching the cloud. If this is because my gmail and/or google user name was checked as the default calendar, that was not a setting i would've recently changed. I never would have set my iPhone to only use one of the iCloud sub-calendars at my default calendars.
But right now, per your instructions, i have checked Settings>Mail.Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendar to iCloud>Home (Home being one of my 8 sub-calendars). When i look on the Mail,Contacts,Calendars setting list, under Default calendar, it now says Home, instead of my gmail username. Just to be clear, there is no way to check iCloud on the Default Calendar page. i have tried checking it, but it's just a somewhat grayed out heading and doesn't respond to attempts to check it, it's not offered as a Calendar option. Only the various sub-calendars are offered a default calendar options, under the grayed out iCloud heading. So, i selected Home, for no particular reason. i have lots of entries under different categories.
Here is the result:   still no new entries showed up in iCloud or iCal. In January, a couple of days ago, i entered three dental appointments, for which i have always used Health as what i thought was a category (not a separate "calendar"). The color of Health events is green. The color of Home events is Blue. After changing the Default Calendar from gmail email address>user name to iCloud>Home (blue), the dental appointment in January did not show up. But when i went into the first dental appointment event>edit and changed the "calendar" to Home, it then showed up on the calendar. The other two dental appointments which were still Health did not show up.
Then, i changed the first dental appointment that is showing up in January back to Health (green). It still shows up, now, colored green, even though Home/blue is now my default calendar. But the two other dental appointments are not showing up.
Does this mean if want to use my Calendar and have the data backed up in iCloud and iCal, from now on, i need to use only one sub calendar and give up using the different color codes because iOS 8 is forcing me to choose only one sub calendar to be my whole calendar, and the only way to use different colors for different categories of events would be to first enter it as the default sub calendar (such as dental appointment>Home), and then go back and edit it into the correct sub calendar (such as changing it to the correct category, Health) to show the correct one instead of the "default" one?
Why was this made so much more difficult and complicated than it used to be? It was working normally up until a couple of days ago.
What i need, if possible, is info on what setting i can use to go back to using my gmail address user name as my default calendar, so that it can just work properly as it did before. It seems ridiculous that i am forced by iCloud to use a sub category as my default calendar and everything that isn't entered as that subcategory will not be processed in iCloud. Why does iCloud provide these sub calendar category options at all, if it's going to force people to only be able to use one of them?
What am i missing here?
Is there a setting that would enable combining all subcategories as one calendar, called iCloud, but where i could still use the different colors for different categories?

HT1296 After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?

After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?

Ok, here's what seems to have worked....but will need to monitor to see if this stays "stable".
1) As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions] (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone. Then ejected iPhone from USB.
2) Reconnected iPhone via USB. iTunes did not start up. Started up iTunes manually. Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the "open iTunes" option, selected APPLY button. Let iTunes run its application process.
3) Then checked the "open iTunes" option. Selected APPLY button. Got a dialog box asking if I wanted "iTunes Helper" to be installed; selected YES. Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes. Reconnected iPhone via USB. AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!). Let iTunes do some backup and sync'ing. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes.
4) Connected iPad via USB (on computer). AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
I don't know for sure that the iPhoto "automatic launch" was causing the interference, but it seems like the "uncheck/check" the "open iTunes" option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered. I don't want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance. Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it's in the forums/discussions.
