Mobile User iCal Sync not syncing

Hi,
I've got a mobile user account that doesn't seem to be syncing properly. It only seems to affect iCal sync, though.
On the user's MacBook, they have two calendars which are local calendars and one CalDAV account back on the iCal Server.
On the user's mac mini in the office, they aren't getting the local calendars from the MacBook despite the MacBook doing a full sync before they log in to the Mac Mini.
Does this mean that local iCal calendars are stored outside of the user's home directory? Has anyone else come across this problem?
Cheers,
Stu

In Lion, iCal is now synced via iCal Preferences.
This from iCal help using the search criteria "sync"
Set up a MobileMe account
If you’re a MobileMe subscriber, you can use iCal to access and manage your MobileMe calendars. For example, in iCal, you can add subscribed calendars to your MobileMe Calendar account so you can view them in iCal and on devices with iOS 4 or later. You can also share calendars, which allows others to see or edit the calendars.
If your calendars are already set up to be synced using MobileMe, then your MobileMe Calendar account is already set up. To sync your calendars using MobileMe, see:
Sync calendars across devices
Choose iCal > Preferences and click Accounts.
To add a new account, click Add in the lower-left corner.
Enter your MobileMe email address and password, and then click Create.iCal finds any calendar accounts associated with the email address you provide.
For more information about working with MobileMe calendars, visit the MobileMe website.

  • Entries on desktop iCal do not sync with mobile devices.

    I am running OSX 10.7.3 on my 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac. iPhone running 5.1.1
    Starting recently, entries I make on my desktop iCal do not sync thru the Cloud to the browser iCloud Calendar or my iPhone Calendar or my IPad Calendar.
    My email, my Contacts sync just fine.
    An iCal entry on my iPhone will sync with all mobile devices and the Cloud browser but do not sync to the iMac. In fact, all transactions from any mobile device and browser based Cloud all sync just fine between devices and iMac.  All but the iCal transactions.  They do not sync to the iMac or from the iMac
    Suggestions, please!

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Just converted from MobileMe to iCloud. But now my iCal does not sync with either my iPhone or iCloud.  What have I missed?

    Just converted from MobileMe to iCloud.  But now my iCal does not sync to my iPhone or iCloud.  What did I do wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Is calendar syncing enabled on both the computer and the phone.
    Are your calendars in your iCloud group and not in a on my mac group.
    only calendars in the iCloud group will sync.

  • ICal will not sync in 10.5.5 after erase and new install!!!  HELP

    I had to do an erase and install of Leopard, and now my iCal will not sync.
    Thanks to it being such a great application I now sync my iMac at home, my iPhone, my iBook, and my G5 tower at work all to each other, I now depend on it for client meetings and personal dates and just everyday functioning!
    How do I fix this? What do I need to do to get my me.com calendar in sync with my iMac and the rest of my computers and iPhone.
    I appreciate any and all advice to get this working again. Monday's already here!
    APPLE please do not ignore this!
    Thanks

    Latest update 5 July. I just downloaded 10.5.4 and at least ical opens! The icon is still grayed out (not sure if that is a sign and symptom of some other problem) Not sure how well the program will work with Entourage and the rest of the applications after reading other posts about 10.5.4 Thanks for all the posts and I followed them to a T with no success until I downloaded 10.5.4
    NOTE TO APPLE: I bought this machine to avoid the Window problems! It's nice to see you guys are following the leader! This Leopard OS is a mess! I regret nearly every day I made the switch! The IBM compatible laptop I bought after buying this machine (that's right no multiple mistakes) works flawlessly with Vista.

  • My iPhone 5 ical is not syncing to my iMac.

    My iPhone 5 ical does not sync(go to) my ical on my iMac, but the iMac ical does sync (goto) the iPhone ical. I am not using icloud or wi-fi to sync. Info is only flowing one direction.

    I have the same issue.  Running OS 10.8.4 and iOS 6.1.4.
    Also, Calendar 6.0 is the worst application yet.  Apple, you seem to be going backward with your updates.  Strive for effectiveness first, efficiency second, and aesthetics last!

  • My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s.

    My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s. I had mobileme and upgraded to iCloud. I also have Mac Lion and feel like I have all the upgrades required, but any time I enter a new event in my iCal, it never transfers to my iPhone. Note: when I enter an event in my phone, it DOES transfer properly to my iCal on my Mac.

  • My ical is not syncing from my mac book to my iphone, where do I start? thanks

    my ical is not syncing from my macbook to my iphone, where do i begin?

    It sounds like when you are adding an event to your iCal (on your computer) it is adding it only to your "local" calendar, and not your iCloud calendar.
    For example, this is a screenshot of the list of my calendars in iCloud.
    Ensure that your iCloud calendar is the default by...
    Open iCal
    Go to Preferences > General
    Select your "Default Calendar" (towards the middle of the window)
    Cheers!

  • My ical does not sync with my ipad and iphone

    My Ical will not sync with my phone or ipad. My address book does sync. The settings appear to be the same for both. I am running Lion on an imac and have ios5 on both the phone and the ipad.

    On both the iPhone and the iPad, make sure Calendars is selected in Settings > iCloud
    And check System Preferences > iCloud. Make sure Calendars is switched on there.
    If everything was already setup correctly, try resetting the iOS devices.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    And restart your iMac.

  • ICal will not sync with iCloud

    iCal will not sync with iCloud, i'm running OS X 10.6.8. What am I doing wrong?

    Mike,
    You need to upgrade your operating system: iCloud: System requirements.

  • My iCal does not sync with my iphone . help.  it worked fine in mobleme

    My iCal does not sync between my iMac and iPhone consistantly.  It worked fine with mobleme.   Any solutions?

    Make sure that your Mac is subscribed to iCloud and is logged on to the calendar, there is no 'sync' in iCloud, whatever MM did is irrelevant.

  • Desktop ical does not sync with mobile me or iphone

    entries in mobile me calendar sync with desktop and iphone wirelessly
    entries in iphone calendar sync with desktop and mobile me as long as I select entourage in the iphone
    but ical entries on desktop do not sync with iphone or mobile me

    Finally figured it out. Assuming you have the latest software and trouble syncing iphone ical, desktop ical and mobile me ical:
    1.Inputing an entry in either one of the tree does not automatically insure syncing across. You have to remember to tell the device how to share the info:
    -Mobile me entry (you are inputing data in your mobile me account when you are away from your desktop and phone, like using someone else's computer). After you make an ical entry make sure you check "entourage" and the entry will be synced across devices.
    Desktop computer entry. After you enter the data make sure you check the entourage option on the me.com
    -iphone: after you input the data check the entourage on the mobile me. Also uncheck all the .cal.com
    2. This takes care of all the sync problems for ical and I suspect contacts. Don't go to draconian measures like re-installs and all the stuff I read here without first trying this.
    3. Finally, familiarize yourself with the dashboard of iTune when you plug in your phone. There are a few tabs in there like "summary" and "info" that allow you to control data.
    In conclusion, I really wish Apple would have covered this on this site or on various manuals. I feel mobile me is not held to the same high standards that Apple requires and I've been an Apple fanatic and advocate since 1983.

  • My mobile me calendar does not sync with ical

    I recently downloaded the new ical software and now my ical and mobile me calendar do not work.  I have reset all information, downloaded (i think) all the latest software and made sure all checks are on.
    Any suggestions?

    Please always post your System details when you have a question. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
    Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
    Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
    Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

  • New Macbook iCal will not sync to MobileMe

    I bought a new macbook air and when i turn on syncing, my mobileme account will not sync the calendar saying mobile me needs to be fixed...the dialog box says:
    "You need to replace your calendar information on MobileMe." If this computer has the most current information, click replace. If the most current information is on another computer, click Fix Later and replace your information from that computer...
    Thanks for any ideas...

    Sounds like exactly the same problem I have. Have Black MacBook and iPhone 3Gs synced to MobileMe and everything works. I set up a White MacBook (both MacBooks are 10.5.8) with new HD, formatted, new install of Leopard, new application installs, ran software update until all are current, then ran Repair Permissions.
    Then turned on MobileMe sync. Safari bookmarks, Mail, Contacts, etc all sync fine and near real time for changes. iCal on computer is completely blank--didn't even update the 4 named calendars. I reset iSync history and tried replacing data on computer with MobileMe content. Nothing. Then reset iSync history again and tried merging all data. This time it said there was over 3,000 calendar events to add. Sounded good. But nothing happened.
    Looks like I can create a new event in iCal and it syncs to MobileMe, then delete in MM and it updates on MacBook. But zero existing events in MM show in iCal on MacBook, even when I edit one and resave it.
    Update: I sent a message to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback.
