Mac's iCal not updating using iPhone4's iCloud
I have upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS5, but still use Snow Leopard on my mac
When I change an event in my iPhone's calendar, why doesn't it update to my my mac's iCal?
An update.
If I add an event to iCal on the Ti Powerbook, it will sync to .mac then on to the 17" then to the Palm and display correctly on the Palm. It won't display in the the month, week or day view in iCal on the 17". If I go look in the search list of events, the propagated event is there.
The same is true if I create an event on the Palm and sync it to the 17" then to .mac and on to the Ti Powerbook. The event is on all calendars, it just doesn't display on the 17".
another update: I just subscribed to the US Holidays calander and when it came in and displayed, the missing new events also displayed.
Any clues about how to force a refresh of the calendar view display?
Thanks.

My mac mini is not updating its software to OSX Lion v10.7.5, which I need for iCloud. I would like to use iCloud on my desktop along with my iphone and ipad but the auto updates are only upto 10.6.8.
You need to get the newer version from the Mac App Store.

Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a setting that I need to check?
All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then? -
Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!
Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated! -
iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application. Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel. I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.
iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

Photo stream not showing up on iPhone after upgrade and ical not updating calendar on Mac
I just cross upgraded from 4 to 4s. I have 1000 photos in photo stream from old phone and on Mac - after restoring from backup (done right before the phone switch), I only have 161 photos - its not increasing over time....
Is there any way to push this to the phone?
Also, my calendar is not updating in the cloud with items on the phone.i have also upgraded my phone to a 4S and have an ipad. I will not upgrade to Lion until the primary software i use is made compatable. just spent 30 min with tech support to learn that because of the icloud, i can no longer upload my photos. i can not turn icloud on my mobile devices without losing totally the syncing of my calendar, contacts, mail to my computer running 10.6.8!! If i do turn the feature on, I must create a new identiy on the mobile devices, that identity would take over my calendar, contacts, mail etc, and not sync with my office computer. i asked multiple times if the new identity could be separate from my primary information and was told multiple times no.
unbelievable!!
i suffered all the growing pains (syn) of mobile me and feel now back in the worst days of Apple with some pretty new hardware
is it possible the tech guy was wrong? -
Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.10 not updating - using MAC OS X, v 10.9.5. Help!
Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.10 not updating. Trying to update to version 10.1.13. on MAC OS X, v 10.9.5. All my Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium products update fine.
First tried automatic updates and go this: Update error: An error occurred. Please check for updates again later. Error: 1514.
Then went to Adobe.com to download update.
Downloaded the 10.1.13 update, started installation but in final stage of installation got this message "The Installation Failed (encountered an error) Contact software manufacturer for assistance.”
What do I do now? Thanks,Hey Marylou Wade,
We would need the Acrobat installation logs in order to analyze this error. Please follow the below procedure to extract the log :
- During the installation press Command + L.
- Installer Log window appears. Now On the top left corner of this window, by default 'Show Errors Only' is selected in drop-down list.
- Change it to 'Show All Logs'. Now when the installer hangs, copy log from here and send it to us.

I have a MobileMe account, iPhone and mac laptop. In the past few days I've noticed that iCal on my computer is not updating at all (and seems to have not updated in quite some time). MobileMe and the iPhone seem to be working together and synching information, but nothing is getting to the computer's iCal. I mostly use the calendar on the iPhone, so that's where most of the information is coming from.
And I've tried the following:
-Deleting the Calendar cache in Home/Library/Calendars
-Deleting com.apple.iCal from Library/Caches
-Deleting com.apple.iCal.plist and com.apple.iCal.helper.plist from Home/Libarary/Preferences
-Resetting my synch data so that I replace all synch info on the computer with the info on MobileMe
And I continue to get the following message:
"*Calendars could not be synched due to inconsistent data.*
Confirm that your computer's data is valid, then reset Calendars on MobileMe in System Preferences."
I've even tried moving iCal to the trash and then run software update to see if it would download a new version of iCal (it doesn't).
And I've either restarted or shut down the computer between all of these efforts.
Contacts and mail all seem to be working & synching just fine.
I recently had Leopard and a new hard drive installed (but over two months ago), and was out of the country for six weeks, both of which may or may not have something to do with this (i.e., maybe there's an issue with the time change somewhere internally in the computer).
I'm really frustrated. Any thoughts?
And thank you in advance.Welcome to Apple Discussions,

Should I turn off my Mac Pro when not in use or leave it running?
I have been told I should never turn off my computer by some people, and others say that I should always turn it off when not in use! I use my Mac Pro primarily for music recording/editing in my home studio or word processing. Now that I have an iPad I use that for web browsing, email, FBing, etc. and I find myself on my Mac Pro a lot less. I get the basis behind both trains of thought; those who leave it on feel always stopping and starting up puts unnecessary wear on the moving disks, and those who shut down think if the parts are always moving they are bound to wear out faster. I am not as concerned with conserving power as I am with keeping my machine safe! If you have any information on this topic I would love to hear it. Thanks!
Providing you have a robust firewal and are not worried as a result about being hacked then leave it turned on and allow it to sleep. Make sure you allow the screen to sleep as well a that is the item that is more prone to damage by being left on all the time.
I never turn my machine off, never have with any of my Macs ever since my first one back in 1979-ish and have never suffered any adverse affects. Today, the power drain is so small when allowed to sleep that I doubt they would offend even the ardent 'turn off everything and pull out the plug to save the planet' person.
If you have an iPad or iPod synced with the Mac for email and iCal and address Book etc. then if you leave it on it should be up to date as soon as you return home, mine is anyway. With iCloud coming out very soon that may come into play even more so with all its advance pushing etc. Just a thought.
One advantage in leaving the machine on (sleep) is that you can access it from anywhere in the world should the need arise with the appropriate settings, which you can't if you turn it off.
Leave it on. -
Powerbook G4 and iphone sync and ical not updating
my ical does not update it's info when syncing with my iphone. I've selected that option for the calendar under info. also when entering new events in ical and then exiting then reopening the ical application the newly created event is not there? I've received all my mac updates. I've reloaded the os 10.5.8 software and still no resolution.
iPhone 3GS I think only supports Leopard and up.. Tiger I don't think will work.

Publishing to .Mac but does not update online! Very annoying
Okay I do not know why this has happened all of a sudden but when I update my iWeb site and publish it I go to check the site and it hs not updated it for some reason. Thus I am stuck with what it looked like when it worked last.
In addition to this when I log onto .Mac on the internet my blog entry shows up in "Recent entries" and I can access it from there but when I click "home" or something it reverts back to its out of date self.
But wait it gets crazier! Because I clicked on my iDisk and deleted all websites in there but for some reason the pages were still on the internet and acessable, and all without using any webspace.
I dont know what the deuce is going on but it is very frustrating.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks a bunch.More than likely you are seeing a cached copy of your website. Sometimes this is a local phenomenon and a simple clearing of your browser cache does the trick (Safari>Empty Cache). However sometimes your ISP is the culprit with caching at their level. This seems to be a chronic problem with ISPs in the UK for some reason. And the only thing you can do is to wait it out.
You can try adding a "?" to the end of your URL to force Safari to fetch a non-locally-cached copy of your site, but even this won't help if your ISP is overzealously caching material.
Anyone in the UK can shed light on this ISP phenomenon???

Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow
i am using mac os x lion 10.7
problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. -
Lync for Mac 2011 does not update Presence properly.
Hello all,
I work in a Enterprise environment, we run Active Directory and bind our Macs to the domain. We use Lync for Mac, and I've noticed that on the Mac clients, the user status does not update accordingly. When my users are in a conference call, it shows
available, etc. It works fine on a Windows machine with that same user.
If the event is on the Outlook calendar, sometimes it will show them as away during that time period, but it does not seem to update when on the phone/in a meeting, etc.
Any advice would be appreciated, my user is on Mac OSX 10.9.3 and Lync 14.0.8.
Thank you,
MichaelWe are seeing the exact same thing at our company. A hundred or more Macs all with broken presence.
Its issues like this that have us looking at Jabber now - Cisco doesn't seem to have buggy OS X software like Microsoft. That will be 40,000+ seats lost due to this and other issues. Maybe if enough hit MS in their pocketbook
they will start paying more attention to Macs.. or at least test them before rolling out software.
Note a few things regarding our setup:
1. Our Lync is on-prem 2010 and 2013 mix
2. Our email is in 365
3. We are using ADFS and FIM for SSO, Dirsync.
4. We do not domain join our Macs. (back when Lion wrecked all our domain joined accounts we stopped with that foolish practice)
It worked with previous versions of Lync 2011.
It works for zero Lync 2011 users. Lync 2013 on-prem domain joined machines work. We see the same thing where a Mac users also logged into 2013 on a Windows machine will help update the Lync 2011 client... but its not an acceptable work-around.
I suspect its having difficulties with the external cert. -
BLOB column not updating using automated row processing
I have fiddled around with creating a simple application to understand how APEX handles images stored in blobs - did a simple app that stores them, gets them, displays them. it all works great.
so i have this existing table/application that i am trying to add a BLOB column to here's what i did:
it's a pretty simple form on a table with report application. just one table.
I added the BLOB to the table (and the other mimetype etc cols as well).
i added the page items to the form page.
i basically made everything identical in terms of page item settings and such to the working simple application.
so here's the problem... when i run the application and update a row, the BLOB column isn't updating. neither are the mimetype or filename columns. the activity date col is.
and here's another interesting thing. i quickly created another form and report pair on the same table, and when i ran it, it updates the blob col just fine.
why is my original form not updating it? what can i do to remedy this? any ideas? i've gone though setting by setting for the blob page item and the one that works is identical to the one that doesn't.
i'm using the automatic row processing to update the table.
Edited by: moo on Jun 23, 2011 5:33 AMGary,
The DML processes (and the creation wizards for them) are for use with items having source type Database Column. If your page items don't use this source type, then neither the Automated Row Fetch nor the Automatic Row Processesing (DML) process types will work.
