Keychain Setting for .MAC Sync.

Working with a particular machine where it will not allow me to check the box to allow .MAC syncing (it's greyed out) for login keychain. Tried resetting the keychain and first aid to no avail. Can't figure out why it's greyed out. There is another usernamed keychain (I assume from an older OS) that allows me to sync that one which leads to another question. Are you allowed to sync more than one keychain file over .MAC, or are you limited to only one?

As long as you know all your username and passwords, .mac etc... I would remove the keychain entry entirely and recreate a new one. Also make sure in your system preferences/.mac panel you have your proper account set. Let me know if you need more detail. -Digitol-

Why can't Outlook for Mac sync with iCal

Why can't Outlook for Mac sync with iCal

Because Microsoft didn't update their software to work with the new OS.

Outlook 2011 for Mac Sync

I purchased a Q10 several weeks ago and still cannot get it to sync with my Outlook 2011 for Mac. I have installed the latest update to Blackberry Link but as was the case when I first tried the calendar and contact sync section is greyed out. I can sync it with a Windows PC with no problems but I really need it to sync with the data on my Macbook Pro.
I would appreciate knowing whether this is even possibe or what I might be doing wrong. I am running OSX 10.8.5.
Thanks

two ways of doing this, you could try http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2452489, or drag each individual calendar event into iCal. You can't do multiple items has to be one... at... a... time.

Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac sync Contacts and Calendar issues

OK, so I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Mountian Lion. I have Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed. Asked @BlackberryHelp on Twitter how to sync my Blackberry Torch with Outlook as it seems to default to using the builtin Apple Contacts and Calendar instead of Outlook. So they sent me the link to KB19148: "How to synchronize organizer data in Microsoft Office for Mac between the BlackBerry smartphone and a Mac computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software". So I turned on the Sync Services in Outlook and it gave me the dialog box confirming that everything was synced. And it appeared to copy and sync whatever Contacts in the Apple Contacts and calendar entries in the Apple Calendar into Outlook and vice versa. Cool since that's what I wanted.
Then I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager to sync everything to my Blackberry Torch 9810. Everything looked like it synced until I opened my Blackberry and all my Contacts were gone. Same with my Calendar entries, except that the Calender entries were hit and miss to whatever copied over (some Calendar entries were missing and others were duplicates). Checked the Apple Contacts and all of them were gone. But when I opened Outlook, everything was there and all OK.
So am I missing something? Turning on Sync Services in Outlook should sync all my Contacts and Calendar with my Blackberry when I use Blackberry Desktop Manager, correct? So why is it still syncing with the Apple Contacts and Calendar (and why did it delete all my Apple Contacts and mess up my Apple Calendar)?
Good thing I backed everything up first so restored everything. But I have all my updated Contacts and Calendar in Outlook and I still need to sync all of that. I don't want to manually do it. So how do I fix this??

After a bit of googling I think you mean the notation "domain\username", i.e., a backslash separator but no leading backslash.
I am not familiar with that notation but apparently it is valid in some contexts. I googled "os x "domain\username"" to confirm this notation. Here's one of the hits that shows the notation:
OS X Lion: Guidelines for connecting to a DFS namespace via SMB
I think "DFS" is a distributed file system. That's as much as I know about this.

Outlook 2011 for Mac Sync issue with Calendar

Does anybody know if there is an issue with the Calendar not syncing with iCloud. Everything in Outlook will sync using iCloud except the Calendar.iCal has no issue, just Calendar from Outlook.

Outlook 2011 for Mac Syncing with iPhone 5

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE:
Macbook Pro running OS X (10.8.2) - Mountain Lion
iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1
Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.2.4)
I am coming from a PC that ran the most current Outlook and iTunes. Before I switched to my Macbook Pro I was able to input calendar items into Outlook on the PC and then plug my iPhone 5 into the PC and everything would sync accordingly. Ever since I switched over to Mac my Outlook calendar items will not sync.
THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO:
Sync my Outlook calendar and contacts between my iPhone 5 & my Macbook Pro. It sounds simple but after reading almost every post possible I have come to a conclusion that I might have to switch back to my PC for such a simple problem.
Can anyone with this same problem help me with success?
If not is there anyone that can suggest any other way that I can have everything synced up? I have tried icloud but I don't want everything in the cloud.
Thank you in advanced.

Outlook 2011 for Mac syncing with OSX Yosemite

Hi All
One major thing holding me back from updating to Mavericks and Yosemite is the seeming lack of support for syncing between Office 2011 for mac and the mac address book/calendar etc. I've been down the road of internet based mail with gmail and mac-mail but find them awful to use in comparison with Outlook. The functionality is not as good, simple things like capitalising first letters of sentences. Signatures look awful, fonts default etc etc and it just generally looks amateurish from the recipient end. I decided long ago to stick with Outlook 2011 but back then I could sync addresses, emails, contacts with address book and ical hassle free at the touch of a button. I am still running 10.8.5 on the office machine for this very reason and scared to update to Mavericks or Yosemite as I've done on my back-up machine and can see this no longer is supported. Can anyone help with this? I assume as it was once supported and now isn't its unlikely to be resupported. What should I do? I hate the idea of third party applications to get this to work. In the past this has lead to things being messed up and hours spent resetting. There was talk of Office for Mac 2014 but nothing seems to have materialised? Any thoughts/recommendations gratefully received...

I use Office 2011 on the Mac, and the absence of syncing contacts is a pain. For a while now I've use OS X Mail instead, which by and large handles Exchange email ok. Since Yosemite, my Mac email has gone downwards, so I'm not trying Airmail 2 which also has Exchange support and is a good deal more modern than Mac Mail. There is no sign of Microsoft ever updating Office for the Mac and catching up with three years of not updating Office 2011, apart from the occasional hint.
With Yosemite, Mail crashes, and looking at the log messages is having issues. I've done a clean install of Yosemite, and despite that still can't achieve stability. It may be me, or it may be Apple, hence the experiment with Airmail 2.
I have also not found any simple way to sync Outlook 2011 contacts with OS X Contacts in Mavericks or Yosemite.

Default Setting for .Mac?

I want to set my .mac calender's default view for anyone who visits it to monthly, is there a way to do this so people don't have to visit the preferences themselves?

VictoriaSueno,
To the best of my knowledge, the view which is presented to your visitors will be computer specific, and is controlled by a cookie.
The individual user will have to select the desired "Calendar View" after clicking on "Preferences"

MacBook Air w/Outlook For Mac Sync Problems

I recently bought a MacBook Air (had a PC) along w/Office for Mac
I transferred my .pst to my new MacBook and lost 25% of my contacts but have them backed up on my Blackberry
I tried to sync my BB to my Outlook and they won't talk, even my Calendar or Tasks
I also noticed that even w/Sync they don't speak either
I want to know how to get my contacts onto my Office Outlook from BB so when I get my iPhone4S I can sync all my contacts and Outlook calendar
Can someone provide some guidance?
thank you,
Rick in Az

Hi Rick,
This is probably your best bet - http://www.markspace.com/
I've never had good luck syncing Blackberry devices with OS X, especially with Entourage (the now discontinued Mac predecessor to Outlook). Missing Sync has never given me any issues/problems in the 4+ years that I've been using it with clients.

ICloud Keychain Set Up (Mac & iPhone)

When setting up my iCloud Keychain, I get to the verification code screen on both my Mac and my iPhone. The number is correct to send the code to but I receive nothing on my phone. Is there a way to access my keychain without having to go this route?

Hello cblazier973,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.

BB Desktop for Mac Sync Issues Solved

I had major problems getting my Storm to sync anything at all with the new BB Desktop. After reading this board and finding no real comprehensive guide to troubleshooting I decided to give it my best shot with the help of google and common sense, which seems to have done the trick. I have BB Storm with Mac OSX 10.6.1. Was previously using PocketMac but that disaster is finally just a bad memory . Here's what worked for me.
Uninstalled Pocket Mac
Went into Home - Library - Preferences and deleted every file that had pocketmac.plist in the name
Wiped my Blackberry (Ouch). Go into Options - Security Options - BB MenuKey - Select Wipe Handheld. Yes I know this is painful but I wanted to make sure I had best chance of success. I guess you could back it up before you do this but my unit was so screwed up I didn't bother
When it rebooted from the wipe I did not set anything up and deleted the old e-mail account settings that for some reason will still there in the e-mail settings (I think because the info is stored on a Verizon server and not on the BB). Before setting up any e-mail services or re-installing any software I wanted to make sure the Sync would work first
I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager
I connected the BB and synced iCal by selecting replace all items on the BB. Like magic everything synced to the BB from multiple calendars even with recurring events
Then I synced Mac Address Book the same way and again everything worked great. I should add that before doing this I painfully went through every Address Book entry to make sure I didn't have e-mail addresses in phone number fields and vica versa.
I ejected the BB and closed BDTM.
Then I set up the first e-mail account on the BB
I then went into Options - Advanced Options - Service Book and deleted the entry called [email protected] [CICAL] that was created during the set up process
Then I connected the BB to sync the calendar with BDTM and received a message that "the service for your devices calendar has changed" Options were to cancel the sync, merge data or replace all items on the BB which is the one I selected.
After this first sync all the calendar entries were deleted on the BB
I synced the calendar a second time and received and error message which I clicked through and the sync finished. All my calendar entries were back on the BB again. Subsequent syncs have been without that initial error message
I then synced the Address Book which was uneventful
I repeated the same process for multiple e-mail accounts and each time this process worked fine.
I ejected the BB and closed BDTM again
Then I re-installed Facebook for BB and made sure to select only the messaging feature. There are 2 other options for syncing calendar and address book info with Facebook's sever that are checked by default. I unchecked both of those as I really didn't want to press my luck at this point.
So one last time I reconnected the BDTM and synced calendar and address book without a hitch and after 48 hours of complete aggravation all is now well.
Now just need to reset my ring tones, fonts, bluetooth pairings, etc... Hope this helps some of you out who are having problems.

Thank you. That looks like a fairly comprehensive fix, and one I might try when I have more time. In the meantime, I've gone back to Missing Sync which is working fine.
Here's the beef, though - why is it that BB's DTM requires so much fiddling around to get it to work? If Missing Sync can do it with just a simple install and re-start on each machine, why can't RIM manage it?
New software should be smooth and flawless to use, not a major pain in the **bleep** that requires hours and hours of its customers time to try and find complex solutions to.

Mail port setting for .Mac?

I use Mail for my .Mac account and usually have no problem sending e-mails. However, whenever I am on campus at school I am unable to send out any mail (and thus my messages are always moved to the Outbox but never sent out). Once I reconnect off campus my messages are sent.
Do I need to change a server port setting to have my e-mails be sent out? As of now, it's on the default setting of smtp.mac.com on port 25.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-Keith

Try changing to Port 587. Should work at home, as well. See:

Fotos for Mac, sync to iCloud incomplete

I do have 8,500 photos in my Fotos (Mac App) library. 5,000 of them were already synced to my iCloud account. Now it stops syncing. if i look at the options, it says "uploading 20" but nothing happens. My iCloud drive has enough free space, so it should work. Restart didn't help.
Has anyone a similar problem an can help?
Thank you.

Are the 20 photos perhaps referenced? Then they cannot upload to iCloud.
You can check with a smart album, if you have any photos in the library, that cannot upload to iCloud.
