.Mac sync issues since 10.4.6?

It is now impossible for me to update my iCal from my laptop (this worked perfectly before)--- now I get a sync error every time. It works fine from my G5 tower at home, BTW. So I took my laptop to the Mac store... guess what, it's not a laptop problem. The apple Genius (who was very helpful and kind) could not sync HIS own calendar from the store, meaning there is a .mac problem going on... no resultion yet! This is a real work issue for me, since having my calendar on my laptop is my lifeline for work... Anyone else facing this? Is this a Tiger issue?

Perhaps you didn't see this message on the .Mac main page:
.Mac sync services are currently unavailable. Changes made to synced information will be reflected when the problem is resolved. All other .Mac services are unaffected.

Dock .mac sync issues

Guys,
I am running two machines both installed with 10.5.1. I subscribe to .mac and get the best of my mac's but I have noticed that dock items are not being sync'ed properly. iTunes is one application I cannot get to stay on the dock even when I right click and choose 'keep on dock'. As soon as I run a synchronise iTunes disappears. iTunes is not on the dock of my macbook either. I am expecting whenever I add an application to the dock it should appear on my other computer after sync but iTunes and others do not!
Anyone else had this problem.

IPod sync issue since installing SL

I installed Snow Leopard several weeks ago and I have been having a problem with my 4 1/2 year old Classic iPod since. iTunes gives me the message "The iPod cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes". I am logged on to my usual Admin account (I have checked and it is still Admin).
If I take the iPod and use it on my PowerBook, not only does it work OK but if I then take it back to my iMac it also then works fine. But the next time I go to use it (without first opening it on the PowerBook) I get the same error message as above.
I searched messages on here and someone was having a similar problem. Their resolution was to delete a file called 'Local' in username>Library>Application Support and I have tried this but it didn't correct the iPod problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI Theodore,
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

ICal/Google sync issues since iOS 8.2 update

Since the update to iOS 8.2 a few days ago, iCal on my iPhone 5s is not syncing with my Google Calendar. I have already reset the 2 step verification on my Google calendar permissions, checked to make sure events are in the Google calendar and not in the iPhone calendar, and checked settings to make sure the Google calendar is selected. The only thing I have not tried (because I'm worried that changes I made prior to realizing thisi was an issue would be lost) is deleting my Google account from the iPhone and reconnecting. Is that really my only remaining option? I'm stumped.

I'm facing the same issue on iOS 8.2 iPhone6. iCal is not syncing on the iPhone. It does, however, sync from Yosemite to iCloud.com.

MAC Sync Issue

Hi,
i am using Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.7. I have downloaded blackberry desktop manager for mac. now when i am trying to sync my Bold 9780 with it, it syncs the calander really well. the issue is with the address book and outlook 2011.
when i am trying to sync the contacts, at first it synced all the contacts but with limited information, only some email addresses were synced. after that i went to the mac address book and added the fields similar to bb. when i synced again it made duplicates. so i earased the contacts from mac address book and also restored my bb thru the backup file cread on my other pc (thank god for that, i have more then 2500 detailed contacts on my phone). i tried to re-sync but then it only transferred 200 contacts, i am stuck, love using mac and bb both!!!
help please!!!!!!

Just to update on this. I was over in Sydney for a few days last week and took the opportunity to visit the Genius Bar to see if they could help with this. I spent nearly 45 minutes with a guy there and even he couldn't help. He looked at all the settings on my phone and mac and said that everything was set up as correctly.
Its really starting to annoy me now so it looks like a delete and clean install is on the cards. Need to put a full day aside and get it done.
Just to update the problem even the single day all day sync from my iPhone, syncs one day ahead. However syncing from mac to iPhone everything is perfect.

Apple Mac Email issues since going onto Infinity

Any Body help or know of a solution where on My Apple Mac since going onto Infinity I can not send Email's through Hotmail, on my Mail App on the Computer.
Thanks

When you moved to infinty did you move to a hub 3/4 after previously using a different router? If so, the issue lies with the way the Mac presents it's name to the router.
There is a relatively simple fix for this. Initially, to get confirmation of if this is the issue, go to your apple menu> system preferences>network, then select your connection to the hub (airport, ethernet etc), then go to advanced in the bottom right corner, and then select DNS. At the bottom of the dns page will be the +/- buttons. Hit plus and then enter 8.8.8.8, google dns. Go back to system preferences this should save the changes, then go back to advanced>TCP/IP and hit refresh dhcp lease.
Close then re-open mail and try and send an email. This should go out. If it does, then it is the issue I believe it to be.
To resolve the issue we just need to change the name of the Mac to remove invalid characters.
Go to spotlight on the bar at the top and access terminal. Once in Terminal type:
scutil --set HostName DavesMac (name is example only, but make note of it, we need it in a moment)
Close terminal, then go back to apple menu>system preferences>sharing. At the top of the page is an option to change the name of the Mac, so hit edit. On the following page there will be a filed where you can enter DavesMac, enter that and hit done. That will finish changing the name.
Go back to system preferences>network and select your connection again. At the top of the page it shows location. Select that and hit the + bottom at the bottom and add a new location (home for example). Then select that location. Then go back to advacned>tcp/ip and hit refresh dhcp lease once more.
Close Mac Mail, re-open and try and send, should work fine.

Syncing Issues since latest upgrade

Everything has been working great with my iPhone 3G until upgrading to the latest iTunes program. Since then I am unable to sync my calendar or contacts between my PC and iPhone. I have Outlook and it synced just fine yesterday before upgrading. After the iPhone backs-up and right before it is to sync I get a message that says the "SyncServer has stopped working". Another message then pops up and iTunes tells me it can't sync unless syncing is turned on and it tries to turn it on, but to no avail.
I'm at a loss at what further to do. I've read many of the recommended actions/fixes and have had no luck.
Any advice and help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Wheeeeeeeee success after a week! I followed these instructions:
Make sure Itunes is closed.
Go to your control panel, open 'system' icon, click on 'advanced system settings' on left panel.
Click 'Environmental Variables'
A small window will pop up, with a top half and a bottom half filled with info.
On the bottom half (System Variables) scroll until you see 'PATH'. Double click that entry, and paste this at the very end of what is there.
;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
Notice the ; in front, that needs to be there so this does not screw up the rest of the info in the PATH variable. Please be careful to paste this at the very end.
Then I searched my C drive for this file - libxml2.dll. It should be in the Apple folder, if there is another one somewhere else (mine was in C/Windows, sometime it might be in C/Windows/System 32). I moved this folder to the desktop, just in case everything went pear shaped.
I am not sure if you need to do both these things, the first alone never worked but when I moved the libxml2.dll everything worked as normal when I re opened I tunes and connected my Itouch. Outlook contacts and calendars now sync both ways.

Audio Sync issues since FCP 4.1.1

I'm going to give a brief description of my problem and I just need to know a few things.
Now, Batch, Clip capture all give the same results. Panasonic AJ-D250 deck capturing into final cut 4.1.1 through to 5.0.4 via firewire. It doesn't matter what kind of mac and how much memory it has because it has happened on 3 different macs all the way up to the new G5's purchased 6 months ago, starting from a G4 866. I have tried everything, changing the settings on the deck, following panasonic technicians specs on what the deck settings should be (which I recieved a few different settings each time) Changed every setting in final cut pro, different firewire cables, heck we even have 4 AJ-D250's and they all slip out of sync after 20 minutes (7 frames out of sync) and slippage increases with time. Installing FCP 5 for the first time it was out of sync 5 minutes into the capture.
According to Panasonic, it's apple problem. They also said that apple knows about it and says it's their audio codec.
What I would like to know is where do I find this audio codec. Supposively (because I haven't been there when this happened) everything was good with FCP 3.0. So that being said can I use that audio codec with FCP 5.0?
I know it's FCP because I have used quicktime to capture the clips...perfect capture, I have use myvcr to capture the clips...perfect capture, when we had iMovie installed...perfect capture.
And to add to that depending on the DIF setting in the VTR, renders different but consitant results in the audio capture, DIF Audio=DVCPRO (audio drop out 'flatline audio' for 1.5 frames randomly throughout capture) DIF Audio=DV (audio spike for 1.5 frames randomly throughout capture) None of this happens with the 3 above mentioned programs-quicktime, myvcr, and iMovie.
Any ideas?
Andrew

Is this the 12 bit audio problem?

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.

Sync issues since downloading new iTunes

After downloading the new ITunes, I bought some songs, then tried to sync up my iPhone using my USB and my desktop, since the desktop is where I did my purchasing. As soon as I hooked the phone up, a message box appeared that said "Cannot sync because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".. what the heck is that and how do I start it??

This has been discuss many time on the forum, you can do a quick search - there have been solutions for that problem. Or you can look to more like this -------------------------------------------------------->

Sync issues since installing 9.1.0.79.

I dont seem to be the only user with this issue and have tried several different 'fixes' posted in this thread, all to no avial. I can only think that if more people keep raising this as an issue the software wizards will updated iTunes with an offical fix (hopefully)....

my problem was similar, but slightly different...I couldn't sync new video downloads to my ipod touch. After posting on this forum and not getting responses for 2 days, I gave up and emailed itunes support. They answered actually within about 4 hours, not bad....they said all windows users are having problems with 9.1, and they recommended that I uninstall 9.1.0.79 and install 9.0.3 until Apple comes up with another version that fixes all the issues. They also gave me a link to download 9.0.3.
So, I did this and now when I try to open itunes it won't open and I get an error message like this:
"The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
So, I've emailed this to them now, and have asked for the next step to get going again. That's what I'm waiting for, but does someone on this forum have an answer for this now?

Sync issue since upgraded desktop manager !

hi
i have a 9360 that i used to sync with an Acer on windows 7 and worked well until i upgaded the software on BB and now the sync get freezed and does not work at all
any ideas?

Could mean that the calendar database on the BlackBerry is corrupt. Are the entries in Outlook more up to data than the ones on the BlackBerry? If so you could try clearing the BlackBerry database, then syncing again. To clear the database on the BlackBerry, go into Backup and Restore | Advanced. On the right hand side you'll see the BlackBerry's databases. So you can select the calendar, then hit the Clear button. That will remove all the entries from the BlackBerry calendar. Afterwards try synching.

Endless syncing: issue with iCal (2.0.5) and iPod Touch 8GB (4.0.2)

Hi,
A couple of days ago I upgraded my iPod's OS from 4 to 4.0.2. Also, around those days, I made massive changes on my iCal's calendars (in my MacBook's iCal, not in the iPod's iCal). Since then, when I connect my iPod to my MacBook, iTunes stays syncing calendars and never stops.
I re-installed iTunes (the new version), but it didn't work.
I've tried rebooting, then restoring the iPod, restoring MacBook's iCal (Erased all calendars and created a new & empty one, then I went to Library and erased what I thought it was erasable).
I need help... I've just returned to college and it's a drama not being able to sync. Is it because iPod's new OS and Tiger won't work together anymore...?
PS: I've read something about MobileMe. I don't have nor want an account.
Thanks for reading and sorry for my poor English.
