New mobileme calendar

I upgraded to the new mobileme calendar and now when I open ical I have 2 calendar groups. 1 group called "on my mac" and one for "mobileme". I don't understand why there are 2. Before I had just 1 calendar on iCal and it was automatically synced with mobileme. Now when I add an event am I supposed to add to mobileme or "on my mac" or both? Anyone know how this is supposed to work?

Greetings,
You may want to go to the New Calendar section on the MobileMe support page and review it's contents. It has good information on the function of the New Calendar: http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/
The "On My Mac" section are local calendars that exist only on the computer.
__Add calendars here if you want them to only be visible on this specific Mac
The "MobileMe Account" section are server based calendars that appear on MobileMe, your computer, and any other computer/device to which you add your MobileMe account (this takes the place of syncing the calendar as the calendar simply appears on all these devices).
__Add / make changes to Calendars listed here to see the changes appear wherever this MobileMe account is used.
If you are seeing the same calendars listed under both sections follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505
I deleted all my "On My Mac" calendars and only have the ones under the MobileMe category.
Hope that helps.

Error messages after new MobileMe Calendar upgrade. Solved?

Quick rundown of what I've been through and how I have solved my problem.
I have a MacBook running 10.5.6 and I also have Bento 3. Recently Bento (Filemaker) told me that I would have to complete a few steps before upgrading to the new MobileMe calendar. So I followed the steps exactly. (URL: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7846/~/setting-up-bento-for-th e-new-mobileme-calendar)
After completing the steps. I proceeded to upgrade to the new calendar. Upgraded in less than a minute and then after opening up iCal on my mac & importing my calendars, thats when things started to go wrong. I kept getting error messages on almost every even I have ever created. I could barely even quit iCal due to all the error messages. Also, many of my events werent there after importing and the progress wheel kept spinning. Complete DISASTER! (*Luckily, I made plenty of backups before doing any of this so I was safe*) But Still I had NO iCal!
I searched and searched and could not find a complete solution. So what I did was the following and so far I believe it could be the solution to all of you guys's problems.
I followed these instructions on this website (URL: http://answers.makeitwork.com/how-to-reset-ical-on-your-mac-or-how-to-clean-up-y our-ical/) **I followed these exactly**
They are below:
+Export any Calendars you wish to retain after you reset by clicking on the Calendar you wish to retain and go to File > Export… > Export…+
+Repeat the above process for every Calendar you wish to keep. (Make sure you remember where you saved them)+
+Quit out of iCal+
+Go to Finder and click on your Home icon to display the Library folder.+
+Open that folder+
+Open the Calendars folder in the subsequent window+
+Delete all the contents within that folder+
+NOTE: If you open iCal at this point, it will initially appear that you cleared everything. Within minutes, however, everything will come back.+
+Go to your Utilities folder and open the Terminal application+
+Enter the following command: rm -rf ~/Library/{Caches,Caches/Metadata,Preferences,Application\ Support}/iCal+
+Exit out of Terminal+
+Open iCal and…Voila! Brand new iCal!+
But that did not completely work. So before doing this again, I went to my iPhone and quit syncing calendars on my mobile me account. And chose to ERASE every calendar on my iPhone.
After doing that and repeating the process above, I opened up iCal and boom, it worked. Then after I had the calendars setup the way I wanted on my MacBook, I proceeded to go to Preferences>MobileMe>Sync> and then chose to sync
I then went to Me.com and checked to see if the calendar was operable and it was 100%. I could do everything like before. Then I went back to my iPhone and just turned Calendar syncing back on in my mobileme preferences.
This has solved all my problems 100%. Hope this helps someone. Just remember that as long as you created a backup of your Calendar you should be safe.

Well... seems I didn't have any answer on this. I fiddled a bit more but I have to say that I really came to wits' end at this stage. A couple of observations though:
* I don't really understand this notion of a keyboard issue. My keyboard and its layout work properly but I will not be able to login regardless of login through GDM, KDM or Slim. Yet it's worth noting that in the case of GDM and SLIM the X server starts; I see the graphical interface, I click, etc. but when I type the trouble starts.
* I tried to check my xsessions-errors file. The file is really big under a frame buffer, and it wasn't clear to me, but I found strange that the log was reporting all sorts of attempts to start KDE. I don't exactly know what's going on.
If anybody has any clue, let me know... It's becoming very frustrating.
Thanks!

All entries duplicated after update to new MobileMe Calendar

Since updating to the new MobileMe Calendar, all entries in my local calendars (those that appear on both my desktop and my laptop) have every entry duplicated. Each entry that was there before the upgrade is still there and it is overlaid by an identical entry at the exact same times and with the exact same text. The calendar that appears in MobileMe does not have these duplicates. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have a solution to remove all the duplicates?

John,
I think I'm in over my head. Yesterday I was prompted to download and install the newest software for my iPhone 4. During the course of the install, I was asked if I wanted to use iCloud as my backup destination, and I answered "yes". Later I was also asked if I wanted to set up a MobileMe account, to facilitate being able to use "Find My Phone". I answered "yes" to that also. (I'm so easy!)
I finished the install and then last night I plugged my phone into the computer to sync and charge, as I always do. It was this morning that I noticed that all the entried in my Calendar (on the phone) were duplicated. I didn't have time to deal with it right away, and while I was at work, I entered a few appointments into my phone. After work, I noticed that not only were the entries on my phone duplicated, but the appointments entered on to my phone this morning, weren't appearing on iCal (on my computer).
My Calendar appointments are crucial to my business, and I need to be able to trust that what I enter on my phone will also show up on my computer, and vice versa. That's where I'm trying to go, and frankly, I don't really understand iCloud or MobileMe, and probably shouldn't have tried to upgrade without more knowledge.
I certainly appreciate the time and patience you've offered me, but I don't want to use your whole day. Worse comes to worst, I can always make an appointment at my local Apple Store. You've been very generous, and I appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Nela

Upgraded to new MobileMe Calendar and now very slow updates

System:
iPhone 3G, iOS 4.1
Mac: 10.6.4
"Upgraded" to the new MobileMe Calendar.
Now BusyCal, iCal, MobileMe and iPhone do not sync quickly (sometimes takes 30 minutes for iPhone or more). Sometimes I need to launch iCal to get MobileMe to update. On the iPhone need to leave on for a long time or turn on and off.
I think I've gone through all the conversion steps and FAQs: Apple's, MobileMe, Mac, iPhone and BusyCal.
Maybe I was just spoiled with iPhone via Airport.
Any comments/suggestions?
Thank you.

I'm seeing that problem as well and I can't figure out what why it's slower. I figured it's a bug so I reported the problem at Apple's iTunes Feedback page.
On the other hand, iTunes 9 converts MP3s to AAC format at least twice as fast as iTunes 8 did, which is a very welcome improvement.

Mac OS X 10.6.5 fixes sync issue after upgrading to new MobileMe calendar

The issue that prevented iSync from 'seeing' calendars after upgrading to the new MobileMe Calendar has been fixed in iSync 3.1.2, part of the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update.

Appointments made on my phone are now synced to the local calendar. How do I get these in the cloud and synced with my other devices (macbook and ipod touch)?
Unfortunately, this is the way it works now. I asked Apple about this and got the following response:
+"Events from CalDAV calendars can be synced via iSync to a phone, but events can only be created on local calendars. This is as designed."+
I haven't tried it yet, but I presume you drag events from the local calendar to the MobileMe calendar, but I don't know how this would handle duplicates.

ICal lost events after upgrading to the New Mobileme Calendar

After updating to the New MobileMe Calendar on my home computer, the iCal at work stopped syncing, i.e. none of the events show up.
I tried quitting iCal, stopped syncing, and synced again to replace data on work computer, but didn't work.
MobileMe calendar has all the data intact. iCal at home seems to load all the events fine. (10.6.6 on iMac, both at home and work.)
Please provide advice. Thanks!

Syncing "new mobileme" calendar via iTunes

Hi, I'm using the "old" MobileMe calendar on a Mac (10.6.6) & syncing this via iTunes with an iPhone (4.2.1). The Mac syncs with the web-based MobileMe, so that I can view my calendar from computers at work. I sync my iPhone via iTunes because I do extensive travelling where neither the Mac nor the iPhone have internet access. The iTunes sync allows them to keep the calendars in sync with each other.
Now, I'm wondering how this would work if I moved to the "new" MobileMe calendar. I understand that the "master" copy of the calendar no longer resides on the Mac, but in the MobileMe cloud. Can the iPhone still sync via iTunes & a local cable, or is it forced to sync wirelessly via MobileMe?
I can find no information on this anywhere & I'm not game to experiment because once I switch to the "new" MobileMe calendar, there's no way to return to the "old" MobileMe calendar.
Thanks in advance.

Ok I am looking at old ipad 2 in mavericks and latest itunes on my pro and then this air on my new macbook pro. First the old ipad (all iOS7) as with all music, video, tv, books, podcasts option to toggle sync, and do all kinds of syncing.
Ipad air, I notice this:
Everything but music allows same sycning in my air (and works) But music says Itunes Match on (which I do use on all devices even old ipad 2) but just to make sure I turned off matching on ipad and the macbook pro itunes but it still says what you see above and does not allow me to toggl syn lists within itunes like I can for tV, video, podcasts ect. What gives??

Restoring lost calendar using TM with new MobileMe calendar sync enabled

I have several Macs set to sync my calendars using the new MobileMe calendar.
I accidentally deleted an entire calendar, and it has now been deleted from all computers as well as MobileMe.
I have a Time Machine backup of one of the computers.
Can I simply restore ~/Library/Calendars from the TM backup and have everything sync through MobileMe properly again?
I know the procedure for backing up calendars has changed for people using the new MM calendar, and am afraid that change may also break the old TM restore procedure for iCal...

BusyMac has all the info you need about this and it isn't great news.

ICal crashes whenever opened after upgrade to new MobileMe calendar

I upgraded to the MobileMe calendar beta, and have no problem using it on my iPhone, MacPro or the web. But iCal on my MacBook Pro now crashes every time it is opened. I can see it start up OK, then as soon as it starts showing the indeterminate spinner next to my MobileMe calendars (presumably showing it's doing a sync) it crashes. I've tried deleting all my calendar data from my Library folder but that hasn't helped.
Has anyone else seen this? Or could anyone offer any suggestion as to how I can remove the MobileMe calendars from iCal to at least get it running again? The error it crashes with (it's the same every time):

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

After upgrading to the new MobileMe Calendar, my Mac OS X 10.5.8 won't sync with MobileMe Calendar...

I use an Ipod, from June 2009, same time I bought my MacBook and it is working fine with syncing to the new calendar, but my Macbook Ical is blank even when I try to manually sync. thanks in advance for any help. I live and die by my **** calendar.

Phone the online Apple Store and buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

FYI: Time Machine and the New MobileMe Calendar

Following a recent query from someone who had inadvertently deleted his calendars, a bit of experimenting has shown that it is possible to restore them from Time Machine. The method is described here:

Where are your backups? If they're on a USB drive, or a Time Capsule, you should be able to use +Setup Assistant+ on first boot. See [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Snow Leopard > Installation and Setup+ forum).

Sync iCal - iPhone - Exchange 2007 broken after MobileMe Calendar upgrade

I need to keep contacts and calendars in sync between my work pc (XP, Outlook 2003, Exchange Server 2010), my home Mac (10.6.6) and my iPhone (3GS, iOS 4.3). Until recently, that worked fine by the following (roundabout) way: PC syncs with Plaxo online via Outlook add-in; Plaxo syncs with Mac; Mac syncs with MobileMe; MobileMe syncs with iPhone. However, the recent upgrade to new MobileMe calendar breaks this workflow, at least for calendar syncing, because Plaxo cannot synchronise with the new CalDAV cloud-hosted calendars. Can anyone suggest another way of getting this to work?
I thought MobileMe for PC might be a solution, but while it can show MobileMe calendars in Outlook, it can't synchronize them (and it seems not to work with Windows XP). A while back, I tried using Google Calendar as the focal point, but found Google Calendar Sync for Windows created a lot of duplicate items, lost items and general mess.
PS The office network doesn't run Exchange ActiveSync and does not allow a vpn connection from Mac or iPhone.

Hi JWilson@ch,
So I thought I was the only person doing that crazy workflow to get everything synced. I do it exactly the same way.
I stupidly upgraded to the new MobileMe last year when first invited, and spent the next few days working out how to get it all back and working. I have been happily syncing everything the old way since then.
My major concern now is that I just received an email from MobileMe today saying I have to upgrade now as they have stopped syncing the old calendar! I haven't checked this yet (I will in a sec), but if I have to upgrade, that means I lose everything that has worked so well since MobileMe started.
My crappy work Blackberry is useless for mirroring my Outlook calendar, so syncing my work onto the much more user friendly iPhone had been a saviour. Now I have all of my work and personal appointments in the same place, and I never miss anything.
What to do now? Is there another way to get my PC calendar onto my iPhone, apart from the Exchange Activesync option which my office also doesn't support.
I'll hold out as long as I can...

No MobileMe Calendars

Suddenly, regardless of which MobileMe account in Preferences/Mail,Contacts,Calendar I choose so sync to my iPod Touch the Calendars to do not appear. Addresses and Mail seem to work fine. I am using iCal beta, but found that my Exchange account calendar also disappeared, but that one returned when I tickled the account info. I've reset the device with the two-button 10-second hold, but have not tried Restore yet. Is this a general problem now?, a MobileMe problem?

Hello Paul,
looks like we are experiencing the very same problem: I have an iPhone 3GS and an iPod touch (1st generation). MobileMe synching works fine with bookmarks, contacts and mail but no calendars appear on my iPod touch
Calendars show up on both, my iPhone and the MobileMe website, so there's obviously a problem getting the data from the me.com server to my iPod. By the way, things worked fine before I switched to the new MobileMe calendar, so I suspect there's a connection.
I already tried several times to deactivate and reactivate the calendars in my iPod's settings but that didn't make any difference. What I last tried was to do a total reset of the iPod touch - the sort that takes two hours and gets rid of everything. Then I set up MobileMe from scratch on the empty device and again everything syncs alright except for calendars.
This is rather annoying and I hope somebody - preferably Apple - comes up with a solution to this calendar sync bug.
PS: I also have a little problem with calendars on my iPhone. I got a birthday calendar of my own - that is, not the one automatically created by iCal / MobileMe - and it does sync to my phone but only a few entries show up on my iPhone calendar. All entries are present in the web-based calendar module though. Very strange! At least in this case I can switch to Apple's birthday calendar (unfortunately losing alarms as reminders are not supported in the that automatic calendar).

Grouping MobileMe calendars

The new MobileMe calendar is nice for collaboration.
But there is one thing that really annoys me:
In iCal all calendars from other MobileMe accounts, that I have subscribed to, are listed under my MobileMe account. If these calendar have the same name, they become indistinguishable as there is no reference, who is the owner of these calendars.
I would have expected, subscribed calendar are listed under the MobileMe account of the owner.
Unfortunately calendar groups don't work either with subscribed calendars, in fact, they don't even work with my own MobileMe calendars, but only with local (non-synced) calendars.
Has anybody found a workaround or plist hack to group MobileMe calendars in iCal, especially those you have subscribed to?
Peter

I'm having a very similar issue, too. Tried the beta and did not like it or the current restrictions it places (no groups, slow syncs). So when I deactivated it and reopened the current iCal, it does not show any of these in the iPhone's Calendar app. It shows other subscribed and the Exchange calendars, but no MobileMe ones.
I, too, restarted the MobileMe settings on the iPhone and did a full replacement from the Mac desktop over the MobileMe versions. The calendars all show up correctly on the Mac and the MobileMe browser versions, but still no calendars on the iPhone.
I know w/ 3rd party apps, you can at least remove the app and all its preferences so a fresh install can be done. However, w/ Calendar & MobileMe being core elements on the iPhone, I don't know how to further reset this app...short of a full-blown iPhone wipe. Not in the cards!!
