Keep an eye on your Birthdays calendar after an update to Mac OS X 10.4.4

Substantial changes were made to iCal, the Address Book and to Sync Services with the release of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update. Clearly, not all of the results were intended.
The automatically generated Birthdays calendar has presented at least two issues in my configuration:
Just before installing the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update, the birthdays appeared in iCal as expected but, immediately afterward, none appeared at all. They were still embedded in my Address Book records, and the action of cutting and pasting just one of them in an Address Book record resulted in the immediate propogation of all of them again in iCal. Great. Obviously, there is now a system-level problem with the data interchange between the Address Book and iCal. This phenomena has only surfaced since the application of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update.
This evening, I noticed that birthdays were no longer displayed in iCal following a synchronization, though the calendar remained intact . Stranger yet, they had all been removed from the matching Address Book records which generate these entries: every one of them! I believe that a Sync Services issue caused their removal, and it is for that reason alone that they no longer appeared in iCal.
Resetting the contact records alone using .Mac as the source did no good. Not only are they not visible on the .Mac address book pages, birthdays data is also apparently not retrievable. Hmm - passed through, but not stored. Not good.
I was able to revert to a 3-day old, almost identical record set, and all of the 'restored' records with birthdays instantly had a matching iCal entry in the Birthdays calendar.
All I can say is: back up. And, back up often. [I had used the Back up Address Book… option under the File menu, so restoring them was a rapid and painless process.]
I wonder when we will see a maintenance update to Sync Services, the Address Book and iCal?

Im unable to get a Birthday Calendar to populate with Address Book Birthday Data at all... 10.4.4 here too.

Mystery Birthday Calendar with OS4 Update

After I updated to OS4, I found that all my birthday entries appeared twice in my calendar views on the iPhone. Investigating further, I found that when I viewed all my calendars, I had two categories of calendars. First, I had "[email protected]" which correctly showed the three calendars that I sync over Mobile Me (including my birthday calendar, synced from iCal). Second, however, I had a second calendar category/group titled "Other" that showed one calendar "Birthdays."
I have unchecked this second Birthdays calendar to remove the duplicate entries from my calendar views, but I cannot figure out how to remove this "Other" calendar completely. This "Other" calendar group and the second "Birthdays" calendar appears neither on Mobile Me on the web or in my iCal.
Suggestions?

The "Other" Birthdays calendar is a new feature and genertaes the birthdays using the data in your iPhone contacts. It's the same as the Birthdays calendar in iCal and Outlook.

Can no longer use mail or calendar after OS update!

Hello,
After recently updating my iPod touch to OS 3.1.2 I am no longer able to use my school/work email or calendar. I get an error message that says: "Policy Requirement: The account '[email address]' requires encryption which is not supported on this iPod."
This was never a problem before I updated the OS. I have restarted, restored etc. all multiple times and still to no avail. I can't seem to get back to the previous OS, either! This is a major problem for me because the calendar was one of the main things I used my iPod for... I don't even have a single song on it! Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated...

Hi Sara
Straight answer is that Apple ‘messed’ up the security on the iTouch version you have such the software OS spoofed security settings back to your Exchange server so it thought the device was actually encrypted when actually the device was incapable. When Apple issued the update you applied, it changed that and the OS no longer fooled the Exchange server, meaning the server refuses to sync, unless your mail admin removes the device encryption policy on the server (Very unlikely if like me you work for a large corporate!). At this point Apple also launched the new 3G iTouch for both 32GB and 64GB, these (just like the iPhone 3GS) do physically support device encryption so are the only versions which will allow you to do what you managed to do by error on your device before. As you’d expect there was quite a lot of up roar on the internet as they overnight killed email for all older iTouch and more importantly all iPhone and iPhone 3G users.
In my case, my 32GB 2G iTouch was only 2 months old when this update came out and broke my Mail and Calendar sync. Having discovered this was Apple's issue, i.e. claiming they supported something when they didn't really! (And because this was a specific feature I'd had asked during the sales process when buying the iTouch in the Apple store), I managed to take it back for a swap as it no longer did what they said it would (also benefited from upgrading to the 64GB version i.e. paid the price diff as the 64BG launched at almost the same price as the 32GB was 2 months prior... very annoying and again, something I specifically asked the sales guy to confirm if a newer device was coming as I’d wait!). Anyway.. my suggestion to you depending on how old it is... go tell them this feature is specifically why you brought the iTouch in the first place... and now they 'Apple' broke that specific feature.. it’s no longer fit for purpose... Worked for me... (Eventually – being quite loud and insistent in store !)
As a result - my faith in Apple - fully Restored!

Mail Keep asking For my AOL Mail Password after last update

Every once in a while (about 3 times a day) mail pops up asking for my aol password (i never chanegd it). It even saves my password when the message pops up all i have to do is hit save.
Ive searched the net up and down but what i found works for a short period of time, Then it pops up again.
This is what pops up in console, ive blanked out my info. I dont know what twitter and facebook have anything to do with it but hopefully someone can help me fix this problem, its very annoying. especially since it always worked fine untill i updated.
This started happening after i updated to 10.9.1 which is odd because this and the previous update was supposed to fix this alot of osx mail problems that i never had in the first relase of mavericks.
Thanks in advance!

This is what keeps popping up.

10.6.8 did introduce some "issues" and you do need to check all your third party programs for updates.

After software update, my Mac Pro 13 has grey screen, spinning but won't re-boot

After update my Mac Pro 13 will not reboot. Grey screen, spinning icon but nothing I tried works.

If your computer is stuck restarting, hold the Power button to turn off your MacBook Pro and turn it on again. As the installation finished previously, nothing will get damaged

After security update INTEL Macs network transfer speed slows

MBP C2D and iMac CD transfer speed between them is close to "b" speed after the update. I tried transfer to my G4 that has a G card and it was same speed for both INTEL Macs. Grabbed another G4 laptop with G card and the transfer speeds between those two were at "g" speeds. All 4 machines connected using Apple Express wireless router.
Changed AE router to 5.5 and higher multicast. No affect. Changed channels to 11 and others and back to Automatic, no change in speed.
Cleaned out cache on all INTEL Macs, same "b" speed. Despite all these adjustments the PB G4 wit the "g" cards continued to transfer at "g" speeds, whil the INTEL Macs are stuck at "b" speeds.
I suppose I can do Archive and Install on the MBP and not apply the latest security patch to see if that may be it. But I'm hoping someone has done this already and post their results. If not I'll try it in a bit.

Rachel, what happens if you rotate your iPod Touch so that it is in landscape mode while viewing your Calendar?

Calendar.app won't sync with Google calendar after Yosemite update

I recently clean installed Yosemite on my 11" Macbook Air and my Google calendar will not sync with Calendar.app. Everything else on my Google account syncs with no problem, but the calendar refuses. I tried with another google account and had the same problem. Unlinked and re-linked the account in question, same problem. Turned off 2-factor auth, same problem. Tried with CalDAV, doesn't work.
In Preferences > Internet Accounts > Google Account in Question, the box next to Calendars is unchecked by default. When checking it, I get a progress wheel that spins for a minute or so and then...nothing.
I'm out of troubleshooting steps. Is there something I'm missing here?

I'm having the exact same problem after clean install of Yosemite too.
Update: I followed the suggestion on this thread and it seemed to solve the problem.
really weird... i just temporary connected to my phone's Personal Hotspot instead of regular home wi-fi,
and it started to sync!

How do I remove "Untitled Account" Calendar after iCloud update ?

Hi,
I have noticed that after I upgraded my MobileMe account to iCloud, that my calendar on the iPhone is full of duplicate entries.
This seems to be down to a copy of my Old MobileMe calendar, and now its called "Untitled Account"
I have read suggestions that i should add MobileMe back to my phone, and turn of calendars to delete this, but I can't add it back, as it just says its already been migrated to iCloud.
Does anyone know how I can remove this calendar ?
Thanks,
Keith

I was having the same problem and even started deleting some of the double entries. I went into the "calendars" tab on the top left of the screen inside the calendar app and found that the appointments from my Mac calendars were being displayed along with (scroll down) all the appointments from the iCloud calendars (which are a mirror or backup of the appointments from my Mac). I turned-off the iCloud calendars and the problem was fixed. I guess if I am coordinating appointments from several devices (iPhone and iPad or several family iPhones) I would just leave the iCloud calendars on and turn off my Mac calendars. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's happening here. Any other ideas?

After Software Updates Applied Mac Mini Freezes after little use

Yesterday I let the computer run updates, now after a short period of use the computer desktop goes to an hour glass and I have to reboot to get control back. Even terminal sessions are frozen. Only Apple software installed on the computer, except for PostgreSQL, Sonos and Mozy. I deinstalled Mozy but that did not help.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I wonder if its a virus?
whatever it is that plagues your machine, i certainly isn't a virus - there aren't any for Mac !
however, i'm running out of options. the only other thing i can think of would be a complete re-installation of Mac OS. if that doesn't fix your mini, and if it's still under warranty, i would start planing a trip to Apple.
before embarking on that path, be sure you're well baked up. if you don't have a spare, get an external HD (USB or, better yet, firewire) and use e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner to bootably clone your startup disk. a current TM backup would also do (but i recommend both).
maybe another user has a better idea. best of luck in any case !

Last time i bought iwork retail v9.0.3, then i tried to install it but it kept showing the error message. After i updated my mac, the iwork asked for a serial number and until today i can't use any of the iwork application. How can i solve this problem?

Hoping for a solution since i need to have this iwork to 'work'.. Too many assignments need to be done and i am sick of going to the library to use the desktop there. Thank you =)

I think you have two separate issues & I'll try to answer in the order you need to address them.
First, it seems you have/had the trial of iWork '09 installed. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Next, you need to update iWork '09 to 9.0.5. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
