Mavericks Server Calendar and Contacts services won't start.

Recently the calendar and contacts services stopped working. Client computers started getting errors like this:
"The server responded with an error https://[some UID and a lot of other info]... is not a location that supports this request."
It was suggested by Apple tech support to do a free install/rebuild, but that's not really an option simply because of the wiki. I've previously spent months trying to migrate wikis from Mountain Lion Server to Mavericks server; never coming across a working solution and ending up having to copy/paste every page from the old server to the new server. Apple had no working solution for migration wikis and instead suggested a reference to a Krypted site URL (which also didn't work).
Other services are working just fine, but here are the symptoms we're experiencing:
Calendar service has reported a code 0 at one point, but did not continue the error
Calendar service has reported a code -1 at one point, but did not continue the error
Calendar service in can be toggled on, but the service never starts and stays offline even though the toggle switch is "on".
Calendar service full status in Terminal.app is stuck in starting
Calendar and Contacts services seem to take a while to load the status pane in Server.app
Client computers get repeated, non-stop, connection error dialogue boxes in Calendar.app
Occasionally when I try to see the Contacts service status by select it, I get "A networking error occurred while trying to communicate with the server" - this is using Server.app on the server itself, not from a client computer.
It seems the two primary problems are starting the services and therefore connecting to them. Other services such as wiki and filesharing are working fine.
Any ideas folks?
BTW - my Time Machine backup did nothing to help the situation.

Can iPhone Sync with Exchange Server - Calendar and Contacts?

Gateway Windows XP Pro Outlook 2003
Gateway Windows XP Pro

My colleague who uses Windows at the office has synced her calendar with Outlook 2003; that should not be a problem. The iPhone directly syncs contacts with Outlook 2003 as well.
iPhone does not connect to Exchange Servers directly unless they are setup for IMAP or POP e-mail access. And in those cases it is not syncing calendar or contact info with the server, just e-mail. (As an aside, we have not been able to get the iPhone to retrieve e-mail using POP to connect to our Exchange server. POP is working fine (lots of other e-mail clients use it without a problem), but the iPhone cannot connect).
Hope that helps.

Not possible to access calendar and contacts hosted on OS 10.8 server

On OS 10.8 server, /var/log/caldavd/error.log says:
    2012-08-06 21:06:03+0200 [-] [caldav-3] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twext.web2.dav.method.propfind#error] File not found: <RootResource: /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Documents/calendar/dav/"user"/user>
I do see
/Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data
but it is locked for me as user.
- Owner is `_calendar` (93)
- Group is `_calendar` (93)
and it's read, write and execute for owner and group (750)
Are these the right settings?
After upgrading to 10.8 server from 10.7 server I could not access my calendar and contacts data anymore, and I looked into the above described log.
When I am trying to access a calendar from a client via System Settings -- Mail, Contacts & Calendars I get this error:
   A secure connection couldn't be established. Click "Continue" to continue creating the account
However, it won't access neither calendars nor contacts.
Or are the permissions not the issue, but something else?

This could very well be. There are two things:
1) where would I set "network users"? Is this related to Open Directory? Or to Profile Manager? I enabled both. I looked more closely into the log file. Previously I had the following two lines occurring every time I logged in, they don't occurr anymore.
    2012-08-07 08:06:48+0200 [-] [caldav-6] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService#error] Duplicate: "User"

2) The previously mentioned error
    2012-08-07 08:15:24+0200 [-] [caldav-0] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twext.web2.dav.method.propfind#error] File not found: <RootResource: /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Documents/calendar/dav/"User"/user>
still remains.
Again, I'd be grateful for further pointers!

Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

Please,please, help,
My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link

Hello frenchguru and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Thanks for your question on synchronizing your Contacts and Calendar.
Currently the BlackBerry® Desktop Software does not support data synchronization with the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet.
If you have this data in a supported email account, you can use Wireless sync to add this data. See KB30038 for the supported email accounts types.
Hope this answers your question.

Retrieving calendar and contacts data from OSX Server Time Machine

Due to a system failure I went out an brought a Macbook Air. My other Mac is away being assessed by a repair shop.
By plugging in the Time Machine drive from the other Mac I have managed to recover my files, videos, photos etc. Contacts and Calendars however are proving to to more difficult.
The old Mac was setup using Mavericks Server as a workaround for the removal of Calendar and Contacts iTunes sync in Mavericks.
The Contacts and Calendars are currectly synced with an iPad and an iPhone.
Is there anyway of recovering the Contacts and Calendars data from the Time Machine backup drive, My iPad or iPhone?
Any help appreciated with this complicated problem.

It sounds as if it is the same, or closely related, to this thread Time Machine Service Page in Server App says "Error Reading Settings"

How to setup a local CalDav/CardDav server to synch calendars and contacts

Since it is now not possible anymore to sync contacts and calendars without the cloud I would like to setup and CalDav/CardDav server in my local home (WiFi) network so that whenever my iOS devices are connected to that network calendars and contacts get synched. Is there any good resource (a step by step tutorial preferably) to learn how to do it? Will I be needing a dedicated machine for the server (I just have one iMac and many iOS devices)? Will all my devices automatically be able to sync once they are connected to the local WiFi?

But then I would need to buy another Mac. That seems a little overklill just for a CalDav/CardDav server. Can't I just run a little service on my iMac? As stated above I have only one Mac and I probably wouldn't want to use OSX Server as my day-to-day desktop OS. Or would I?

Syncing Calendars and Contacts without the complete home folder on the server

I've been trying to set up syncing of calendars and contacts using Mavericks server. I've read a lot of posts on various ways of doing this but am at a loss as to the how the various parts of the solutions work which may be why I haven't been able to get things to work.
I've installed Server.app and got Open Directory set up. I want to sync the calendars for two users on a couple of client machines (both running Snow Leopard at the moment) and three mobile devices. The clients were set up before the server and so the user accounts are local. Putting the home folders and all the files they contain on the server is not an option as there's not enough disk space. Ideally I'd like to have all the user files on the local machines and only the data I need to sync on the server. Is this possible? All of the information I've read on migrating local users to network users suggests that their complete home folder needs to be put on the server and I've not found any way to set up the syncing successfully without making them network users.

Thanks for the answer Simon. That seems simple enough but there are some things which aren't clear.
If I create accounts on the server for the users independently (ie not ownership of the home folder) they're going to have different UID's. Surely this means that even with the same account name and password, they're going to be treated as unique users. Does that not affect who has write access? I don't know how the Calendar and Contact servers work so this may be irrelevant.
How do you "have the server host their calendar and contact details"? Copying the files for the existing local users to the new users on the server will leave them with invalid permissions.
I have read that using the Calendar and Contact components of Server.app is not a supported way of syncing across machines and that they're intended to be used for shared information rather than syncing. But maybe there is no way to avoid an "unsupported method" without moving the home folder. Is this a method you're using?
I'll do a bit of testing with this but would also be grateful for any additional hints.

I just switched from a PC and am installing googlemail on my macbook. it has successfully connected my calendar and contacts. But my mail is not linking. i get a unable to connect to the server message. any ideas wise ones pls

i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?

Neil,
I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
Good luck,
Clinton

Multiple Calendars and Contacts - and the real ones won't sync!

My iPhone (first generation, 4GB) has been working fine for the last 9 months but has developed a scary problem shortly after I upgraded it to 2.1 firmware.
The Calendar now shows as two separate "accounts", titled "On My iPhone" and "Untitled Account". The "On My iPhone" account has 4 different calendars (Home, Work, Untitled, and Untitled2). None of these calendars have any actual data in them, other than me putting in a couple of test appointments. The other account contains the three calendars that I've been using all along - those calendars have lots of appointments, birthdays, etc.
There's a similar situation with my Contacts. It suddenly shows two separate "Groups", called "Imports" and "Special Contacts". The "Imports" list is basically empty, and all my hundreds of contacts are listed in the "Special Contacts" group.
This is all a little puzzling, but the ugly problem is that my REAL Calendars and Contacts are not getting synced. All of my iCal and Contacts data has been wiped out on the MacBook that I use to sync my iPhone with. So, on my MacBook both my iCal and my Address Book are basically empty. (They used to have exactly the same data as my iPhone.)
Here's what I've already done to debug: My MacBook is running the latest Apple software (OS 10.5.5 and iTunes 8.0.1). I've done a "Reset All Settings" and also I've done an "Erase all Content and Settings" and then restored my iPhone from the backup on my MacBook. FORTUNATELY my Calendars and Contacts seem to have been backed up ok, even if they're not syncing. Also, just in case the problem was on my iBook, I also have tried to backup and sync to an XP laptop, also with iTunes 8.0 - no luck - backup/sync runs ok (no errors reported) but no Calendar or Contacts data is shown in Outlook.
Lastly, today, I talked to a Genius at the local Apple store - he looked at the iPhone for a few minutes, said he'd never seen anything like it, and didn't know what to do about it besides restoring the iPhone to factory condition and hand-typing in all the Contacts and Calendar data again. But really, I can't even do that - since the data won't sync, I can't even print it out!
Any ideas????

I found a posting from a few weeks ago that sounds like a very similar problem to mine:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=121467&st=0&p=859382&#entry8593 82
I still haven't found a solution. My calendar and contact items seem safe on my iPhone, but I need to be able to sync them to my MacBook.

Centro won't Hotsync Calendar and Contacts with desktop

Here's my problem. I hotsync, but my Calendar and Contacts don't transfer to or from the handheld to the desktop. I'm using a Palm Centro and trying to sync with Palm Desktop 4.2.1 on a MacBook running MacOS 10.4.11.
I already tried a complete restart of my Centro, erasing all user data. I then hotsynced it and it restored from the backup on my MacBook, but this did not fix the problem. It restored my contacts and all my apps to their prior status, but I lost all the Calendar data in my Centro. I still have the data on the MacBook from whenever it was just before it stopped synching correctly.
The log proposes that I run the Contacts and Calendar applications and then run a hotsync. I did that, but no results. I still get the same stuff in the log.
Please help.

This may be dumb, but I did not think to look for this until i called Palm for help...
After I had issues syncing, I re-installed the Palm software..when you do that, it sometimes turns off the ability to sync. To confirm that you have the ability to sync, open Palm Desktop and go to Hotsync --> Setup, and check the HotSync Controls to see if it is "Enabled"
Also, if you have problems syncing with Entourage...try this...

How to use Icloud calendar and contacts with calendar server

Hi
I have a small network setup using a mountain lion server and a couple of mac mini's running snow leopard. In addition I have several iphones and ipads attached to the network.
I want to syn calendars and contacts accross all devices but dont want to use icloud for the private stuff. I have the basics working but can not get the general icloud contacts and appointments to sync on the mac mini's. Is there a way to sync this data or do I have to duplicate each appointment , one to icloud the other to the server address book and calendar.
I know that there is a way to sync snow leopard with icloud but I do not want all data on I could as some of it is sensative, so require to keep it internal.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

Thanks for the help
Not sure I have explained myself properly, I already have the server set up and have a local calendar and address book working.
The issue I am having is how to integrate it with the icloud address book and appointments.
for example,
I have an appointment at 10.30 with a client, I need to have this show up on all mobile devices and the local network mini's. As it stands I have to put it in twice, once in the icloud calendar and once in the local network calendar. I would like to be able just to add it once and it show on all clients.

All of a sudden, my iphone won't sync calendar and contacts...says unsupported.

All of a sudden my iphone 4 won't sync calendars and contacts. It says unsupported apps. Any ideas on the problem or troubleshooting?

You cannot accidentally download Mavericks. You have to select to download it. You can always erase your drive and reinstall from the backup you made before you installed Mavericks.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
