.Mac will not sync with G5

Earlier today I was working in my Address Book when and IChat upgrade was installed. The Address Book stopped responding and I had to restart my computer. Once the computer restarted, all of my addresses were gone. I have talked to AppleCare about this problem.
However, I had a trial account at .Mac that expired 47 days ago that was established using a different G5. I was able to go online and restore that account. Many of the addresses seem to be there. However, I cannot Sync them to my new G5 iMac at OS10.4.8. I have registered the new computer and it exists in the Advanced tab. I have talked to AppleCare about this also. Also, the Address Book preferences are set to Sync with .Mac. AppleCare believes everything on the computer is set correctly, However when I try to Sync I receive the following error:
Invalid response received from .Mac. Could not complete synchronization - please try again later.
I have been trying now for 6 hours.
Any thoughts?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
iSync has nothing at all to do with .Mac synchronization anymore - that is not the responsibility of .Mac Sync, for which another forum exists, here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
That said, DO NOT attempt to synchronize with .Mac as the result will be the removal of all of the matching records, those which once existed in your Address Book application, from .Mac. Poof: no contact records!
You must instead reset the contact information on your computer, using the data stored on the .Mac servers. To do that…
Launch the System Preferences application and select the .Mac pane from the Internet & Network panel. Press the Advanced tab and wait for your synchronized accounts list to refresh. Then press the Reset Sync Data… button, select Contacts from the Replace menu if you want to limit the activity to contact records. Insure that the default data flow indicated by the left facing arrow is highlighted in blue, and the animated orange arrow moves from right to left, showing flow from your .Mac to your computer, then press the Replace button.
That will fill your Address Book with records from your .Mac address book.

  • Mac will not sync with ipad over wifi

    I have iTunes set to sync with the ipad over wifi; wifi is turned on on both mac and ipad; both are logged in but i can only sync using a cable plugged into the mac. Any ideas why.
    Thanks for the help

    Your MacBook must be quite old.  My suggestion is to sell it and replace it with a newer model that can support later software.  You have probably received many years of good service from the old machine.
    Good luck.

  • Imovie on mac will not sync with devices

    Imovies created on my imac and shared to theater are not showing up on my ipad as they're supposed to automatically.  Why could this be?

    Hi Mataserda,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Have you downloaded the latest version of iMovie for iOS on your iPad?  When you tap Theater at the top of your screen, do you see any of the movies you've sent there, or is the issue with specific movie(s).?  Are the clips less than 15 min in length?

    Play a movie or trailer
    To open the Theater, tap Theater at the top of the screen.If you don’t see Theater at the top of the screen, tap the back button.
    Tap a movie or trailer, then tap the Play button to play it full screen.If you’re playing the movie directly from iCloud, tap the HD Off button to view a higher-definition version of the movie.
    If your movies from iCloud don’t appear in the Theater, go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data, and tap to turn on both Documents & Data and iMovie.
    Cheers,

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with home iMac but can with other macs

    My daughters iPod Touch will not sync with her iMac anymore.

  • My iPod Nano will not sync with my brand new Mac Air...will charge

    My iPod nano (touch) will not sync with my iTunes on my brand new Macbook Air. It will charge my iPod and give the option to eject the iPod, but it will not recognize my iPod to sync. Any ideas why and how to fix it?

    Hey all, I had to call Apple Support to resolve the issue as nothing on the web provided an answer. So for all you out there having the same problem, here's the ituation and full resolution, so you can save time and money (if your product's warranty is expired).
    Situation: I bought a brand new Mac Air on 12/7/12 and tried to sync my 6th generation iPod nano (previously configured to a PC) with no sucess. ITunes was only allowing me to charge and eject the nano.
    Solution:
    1. Go to View>sidebar
    2. In the sidebar, click "iPod" under the Devicies category
    3. Click "Music" section next to "Summary" under the status bar
    4. Make sure "Sync" box is checked with your preferred preferences underneath
    5. Click "Sync" in bottom right corner of window
    Apparently, iTunes 11 is quite different and the sidebar with usual options and playlists does not appear unless selected in the "View" drop-down.
    FINISHED!

    Close iTunes. On your phone, double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle & a red minus sign appears. Tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap Home button when finished. Re-start your Mac, launch iTunes, connect your phone. See if things work now.

  • IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

    Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
    Restarting iPhone
    Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
    Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
    This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
    I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
    I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Manolis

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

  • FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79

    I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
    My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
    But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
    • Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
    • iTunes 10
    • iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
    The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
    Step 1: Go to Control Panel
    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Click Hardware & Sound
    3. Click Power Options
    4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
    5. Click Change advanced power settings
    6. Expand USB Settings
    7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
    8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
    9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
    10. Click OK
    Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
    3. Click Properties
    4. Click Device Manager
    5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
    7. Click Properties
    8. Click Power Management
    9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    10. Click OK
    11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
    12. Click Properties
    13. Click Power Management
    14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    15. Click OK
    16. Restart your computer
    After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
    You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
    There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
    Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
    Good luck.

    If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

    My ipod touch 3rd generation OS  5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Try syncing using the manual method

    If iTunes does not see the iPod:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
