MobileMe NOT syncing

Has anyone else experienced this problem…
Since the update my MobileMe has not been syncing with contacts and calendars…
Any suggestion on how to correct…

It could be that your iPhone is not associated anymore with your MobileMe account.
Have you checked that your iPhone in iTunes Devices is shown with the same name as before and have you checked that it's authorised? (If the Device name is the same then it should be!)
(Apple are consistent, at least, so 'something' has changed and it's only necessary to work out 'what'!)

Mobileme not sync calendars

Since I accepted the new mobile calendar "Upgrade your calendar to maintain syncing and calendar web access"
my calndar on my mac and my iphone are not syncing anymore . Pressing the manual sync in system proeferences
mobile just leaves the status stuck on : getting mobileme info, with "cancel sync" buton grayed out. Guess apple should hire some QA folks, every release of the product seems to fall over.

Hello,
I ran into the same issue when I converted over to the new MobileMe calendar. My solution was to delete the accounts from my iPad and iPhone the recreate them on the devices. After I did this all has been fine. It would seem that it gets a bit confused on this change in protocol.

Mobileme not syncing ical

my ipad wi-fi 16gb is not syncing ical to mobileme. I have been messing with settings. Done 3 restores, nothing works.
I searched the forums and didn't see this anywhere. Any ideas?

Hello,
Open System Preferences / MobileMe
Select the Sync tab. Make sure "Calendars" is selected.
Restart your Mac. Connect your iPad to your Mac. Under the Info tab make sure "Sync iCal Calendars" is selected. Click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

Can't turn off MobileMe Notes Sync in iOS4

Hey, I've upgraded to iOS 4 on my iPhone 3G and now my Notes always sync back to MobileMe, whether or note syncing is enabled or disabled in settings.
Now in Mail on the Mac my notes keep appearing and if I delete them I lose them on my phone.
I use notes for my daily to-do lists and little notes so I collect loads of them.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? And is there a suggested fix?
Cheers,
Sebastian

With the Mail.app on your Mac, are you storing notes on your Mac or with MobileMe?
This is selected at Mail > Preferences under the Composing tab.
Since notes have been available with the Mail.app on your Mac before installing iOS4 on your iPhone, why do you not want your notes available with the Mail.app now?
This is designed to have your notes available at all 3 locations - with the Mail.app on your Mac, with your MobileMe account, and with your iPhone with notes kept synchronized between all 3 just as with contacts and calendar events - unless I'm misunderstanding what the problem is.

MobileMe not syncing Bookmarks in Lion

MobileMe does not appear to be syncing my bookmarks in Safari. It has properly synced my address book as well as my mail signatures and rules, but no bookmarks.
Anyone else having this problem?
In fact, I've reported elsewhere that even importing my old bookmarks from Snow Leopard doesn't seem to stick. As soon as I quit and restart Safari, it resets back to it's default, losing all of my imported bookmarks.

Yes, of course I have it set up to sync. That is funny you put that in there though. I guess it's hard to guess what level of technical savvy most posters have, so it's better to be safe.
I think it has more to do with Safari than with MobileMe. Before I even started Safari on Lion, I replaced the Bookmarks.plist with my previous version, which seemed to work once I first booted up Safari, but realized they were gone whenever I quit out and restarted.
Afterwards, that's when I tried using the import command, which again seemed to work but they also disappeared upon restarting. Not sure what is going on but it seems to have affected MobileMe now. I think I'll remove my Safari folder and try to start over.

ICal & MobileMe not syncing

iCal on my Mac no longer syncs with MobileMe even though it is set to synchronise in the preferences pane. How can I fix this?

Greetings Lou,
You should have received an email in your MobileMe inbox regarding a change in MobileMe calendar (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4037). Calendars no longer sync, they use a different server based system now called CalDAV. This gets rid of the need for syncing as the calendars "live" within MobileMe now.
Turn off Calendar syncing in the MobileMe preference pane in system preferences.
Follow this article to setup your iCal for the new system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Cheers.

Added calendar in iCal not synced to MobileMe

I moved a calendar from "On My Mac" to my MobileMe account group, using the export-import method. The new calendar, however, does not sync to MobileMe. I even tried an overwrite (bookmarks, calendars, contacts and keychains) from my Mac to MobileMe but the added calendar still did not appear in MobileMe.
I quit and relaunched iCal, which started an immediate sync. The new calendar promptly disappeared from iCal and I got a string of error messages (one for each entry in the new calendar, it seems) all ending with
The server responded with
“HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict”
and asking me to either "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server". It didn't seem to matter which one I selected – the error just kept cropping up. Eventually, I gave up and force quit iCal.
How can I add a new calendar to iCal that will sync with MobileMe?

Derek,
I presume that this procedure represents exactly what you have tried to accomplish?
Import an iCal calendar or event
If you use iCal and want to add your iCal calendars and events to a MobileMe calendar, you can import them.
Hide
To import an iCal calendar:
Open iCal, and then select the iCal calendar you want to import into your MobileMe calendar.
Choose File > Export > Export.
Type a calendar name, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu, and click OK.You can store the exported file anywhere, and you can delete it after you finish importing it.
Choose File > New Calendar, and then choose a MobileMe calendar (by default, your MobileMe email address).
Type a calendar name (you can use the same name as the calendar you just exported), and press Return.
Choose File > Import > Import, select your exported iCal calendar, and then click Import.
Select the destination MobileMe calendar to which you want to add the imported iCal calendar, and then click OK.
Quit iCal and go to the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and delete any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the name. Log out/in or restart and reattempt using the exact procedure which I copied from the MobileMe Help page.

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.

ICal not syncing with MobileMe

I know there have been other posts on this, but I have tried them all and cannot figure this out. MobileMe is syncing with my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2) but it is not syncing with my MacBook under my current user profile. I created a new profile as a test and it synced with no issues. I have tired signing out and back into my MobileMe account, deleting the calendar cache, deleting the calendar folder, reinstalling ical, etc. I cannot figure this out and I am feeling my only option left is to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Any help on this?

For whatever reason, iCal has suddenly "come back to life for me." I did a backup and restore (did not by itself seem to solve the problem), then Reset Sync History, then rebooted my MBP, then Reset Sync History again, and then initiated a manual sync in the MobileMe control panel. Voila! iCal populated with the MobileMe data, and it appears that not only did iCal receive data, it also sent updates of its own on over to MM and thereby to my phone. We'll see if the reliability of the MM "ecosystem" under 10.5.5 gets, well, more reliable.

ICal not syncing w/ mobileme

iCal has stopped syncing with Mobileme. When I try to sync I get the error message "Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent data. Confirm that your computer's data is valid, then reset Calendars on MobileMe in System Preferences." I have unchecked Calendars in Syst Prefs, synced, rechecked, and synced and it does not work. How can I resolve this and sync it?

I am having the same problem with iCal not syncing. I have 3 Macs (iMac, Macbook, and G5 Tower) that are all normally synced using MobileMe and 2 iPhones that sync as well, but the computers just stopped syncing the other day. It seems to be an Apple problem but I don't know how to remedy it. I've tried what has worked for some other folks here where you changed the sync to the computer from the mobile me in sys prefs but once the main computer that holds the calendar has a change it messes up the others again. It's becoming very frustrating and I can't seem to get to the proper link on the support pages to get an Apple tech to help. I noticed on the Mobile Me page it says that they did an update the other day that could affect peoples syncing but it says it's now resolved. Not for me, anyone has any thoughts I'd sure appreciate it.

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?
Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
Please help !
Nick

Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
Any ideas welcome !!

IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
Please help!!

Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
Does this help?

Notes sync and MobileMe, maybe, but not iPhone

I think someone forgot to communicate with the iTunes, MobileMe and iPhone teams.
I can sync my notes with MobileMe. Can't find them anywhere on MobileMe. Not sure if they are really synced.
I can sync my notes with iPhone and iTunes, but have to be connected by cable. No immediate update.
Why can't I sync my Notes on the iPhone the same way bookmarks are synced?
Shouldn't iTunes say: "Your Notes are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe"?
Shouldn't iPhone have an ON/OFF for Notes, the same as Mail or Calendar?

[spent 20 mins with MobileMe chat figuring this out:]
Notes on the iPhone sync to desktop Mail as "On Your Mac" Notes (under Reminders), by cable only.
Mobile Me will sync Notes, but ONLY Notes that you create as attached to the MobileMe email account.
To do this, go into Mail Preferences, click on Composing, and set "Create Notes and To-Dos" to MobileMe in the dropdown (make sure you have set up your MobileMe account in Mail first). Now create a note in Mail. It will show up, in bold and marker felt font, as a entry in your MobileMe inbox.
When you log into me.com and click on mail, you will see the notes in your inbox, but not bold. However, they will not sync to the phone from there--I think they are designed to sync to another Mac computer, but do not have one to test. So they are not all that useful, IMO.
If you set the preference above to "last viewed account" instead of Mobile Me, then you can create notes in either place by selecting the MM inbox or On My Mac first.
Suggest you look into Evernote, Shovebox, Missing Sync for iPhone, or any of the many other note-syncing third-party options, because Apple's solution is pretty sad. Complain to Apple at
http://apple.com/feedback/
By the way, Amazon and other resellers sell MobileMe for ≤$70, regularly. The retail box contains an activation key that you can use to renew an account. No need to pay Apple's $99, unless the auto-convenience is worth $30 to you (and it may be, though, usually companies give a discount for auto-renewal. But okay, Apple).

MobileMe iPhoto galleries not syncing after password change

After changing the MobileMe Password iPhoto does not recognize the properly configured MobileMe Account anymore.
All other Applications with MobileMe Upload/Sync/Publishing capability (iMovie, Aperture, MobileMe-Sync) still work flawless. After trying to publish a Photo to a MobileMe Gallery or clicking on an prior uploaded MobileMe , the MobileMe "Are you already a member" (Translated from German) screen pops up, asking me to login into MobileMe. A second windows states "An error occured with the publication of album "ALBUMNAME". Your MobileMe Account Information is not correct. The provided login or password is not valid" (Translated from German)."
Even in the iPhoto Preferences/Setting under the "Web" Tab the used and max iDisk Capacity is not shown.
After changing the MobileMe Password iPhoto does not recognize the MobileMe Account anymore.
I'm having this problem on my late 2007 MacBook Pro 2,4GHz
On my second Mac at home evrything works just fine, even in iPhoto.
I've tried several things to solve this problem:
- Logging Off & On with fake MobileMe username/password in the MobileMe Setting in System Preferences
- Updating the password in publish.me.com in the keychain
- replacing the keychain on this Mac (MBP) with the keychain from my Mac at (both have latest Snow Leopard and iPhoto Version)
- deleted the com.apple.iPhoto.plist
I took information/suggestions from these forum posts:

found that thread and looked in the keychain - indeed it was still the old password - changed it and now working again...

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

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.
