Problems with iCal syncing

I had this problem with my original iPhone and I also ran into it this morning while using my new iPhone 3G.
While syncing the iCal events to my phone, iTunes basically says it is syncing continuously. I actually went to bed one night with it saying it was 'syncing Calendar events' and when I woke up it was still doing the same thing.
I don't know if it is because I have events in there, like birthdays or PayDays, that have it as a yearly or weekly cycle, and don't have an ending date or if there is something else causing the problem. I've tried changing the end dates to the end of this year, but it didn't help.
So I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem, or had a solution to it. Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have not experienced the same, but I suggest resetting the sync history on your Mac as a first step. This is done with iSync preferences with the iSync application in your Applications folder.
After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try again.

I have a problem with ical sync with iCloud

I keep getting this response to one of my calendars; Access to “XX Meeting” in “xyz” in account “iCloud” is not permitted. The server responded: “403” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.

Subscribed calendars do not display in the iCloud website. They will be synced to other devices (actually it seems to be the settings which are synced, and the other device then subscribes). There may be a technical reason why the online calendar can't subscribe to other calendars.

GUI problem with iCal

Suddenly I am experiencing problems with iCal crashing after I try to drag items into the TO DO column. The calender grid suddenly shows through the TO DO area and everything comes to a halt. Any suggestions.
Dual 450 G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

When I try to do anything involving the "to do"'s things just stop working. Here is where it gets strange. If I transfer via iSync a "to do" from my palm pilot to iCal the "to do" will not show up in iCal. BUT then when I sync Omni Outliner with iCal it will pull the "to do" from somewhere in iCal and put it in the "in box" in Omni Outliner. What in the heck is going on here?

6 weeks of problems with Ical- Please help

For 6 weeks now I have been having problem after problem with Mobileme, Ical, and contacts synchronizing with my imac, laptop, and iphone after at least two years of no problems. I have been to the Apple store over 6 times and have had 3-4 hour long chats with Apple technicians and have had 3-4 emails with an advanced technicians. Everyone is quite nice and really seems to be trying to help fix the problems, sadly, this situation is still not resolved. My confidence that Apple knows what is going wrong or knows how to fix it have really taken a hit and I'd ask anyone who has the savvy to help me with this to PLEASE help me out here.
The current situation is:
Cannot log into Mobile me to get my calenders - Apple can't either. We both can log in to idisc, contacts, etc. though all are duplicated 2-3 times.
If you try to sync with the phone, including after re-setting what appears to be a correct calender on to mobileme first, the phone calender will appear completely blank.
Manual sync with the USB works. However, even if you totally wipe the whole iphone and then install just what is on the computer, some appointments are missing on the iphone! I have verified that there are just the correct calenders listed on the imac so the appointments missing on the iphone are part of the calender listed on the imac. (When I wiped the iphone and choose automatic sync, numerous calenders were seen. Part of the reason there were so many calenders at all was part of the problem I initially had and the result of apple technicians trying to fix it!)
I now have. mac and .me mail accounts listed on my iphone despite the fact that the .mac account had been replaced with the .me account of the same name by at least two technicians at the Apple Store and Ichat.
I need help immediately and cannot either wait for Apple or have much confidence they know what is going on.

Yes this has been a nightmare for me and started with duplicate dates, followed by duplicate calenders, and 2 years of lost data, followed by duplicate contacts. I am clear that some of this is the direct result of how I was advised to fix my problems.
I have seen 2-3 people report problems around this same time frame. The techs at apple have denied a system problem from that time but like you it is odd that a system that seemed to work perfectly went wrong at that for at least the two of us and three other people that I know of. I have only reviewed a portion of the posts.
My conclusion is that Apple does not provide adequate warnings or instructions regarding how to interface with ical, syncing with mobile me, or what needs to be backed up even though one is putting one's data on the cloud and 1-3 other devices. Further, the protocols Apple techs use to deal with these kinds of issues seem to be leading to more problems.
I have saved a comprehensive log of my chats with Apple and my interactions with the "genius bar" at Apple that I'd be willing to post here or share via email that shows how this process evolved and what choices were made to remedy the situation.
To briefly illustrate my point consider these things I've learned in the process:
1). Apple does not design all of it's key software with auto back-up like they do with Final Cut, or Intuit does with "Quicken". Apple told me that they expect someone would use the "export" or " back-up iCal" from the file menu. They also said that I had the option of using the utility "back-up" or "Time Machine" if I wanted "auto" back up.
I must admit to feeling pretty stupid about all of this until I remembered that Apple emphasized the automatics of "the cloud" as next step after the "Palm". Even the "Missing Manual" bills it that way. So... I just plugged and played as they say and did not actively make sure that I needed to back Ical up! I also thought that since my iphone backs everything up when you synchronize that everything would be saved. Anyone have any ideas how to get your calender off the iphone back up if the cloud and your computer files are wrong? I've been told that you cannot. I am also a bit unclear about what files need to be backed up if I want to use Time machine or back up to protect my Calenders? Again can't they just say so?
2). It has come to my attention after talking to 4 different Apple reps that the Itunes interface is a bit unclear. I was told that IF YOU USE MOBILE ME, YOU CANNOT HAVE THE SYNC BOXEXS CHECKED FOR ICAL, MAIL,CONTACTS, OR YOU WILL HAVE DUPLICATE ENTRIES. I am not sure if this is true or what started the whole problem. It does kind of make sense given there are Mobile me options in the system prefs for what to do with them as well.
Apple should have told me the above after they tried to resolve this duplicate problem last December by resetting my mobile me with my laptop, deleting and reinstalling my account on my phone and syncing with Mobile me. If they had, I would not have had the duplicate entries and as well as accounts a few weeks later. I also would not have tried using the same method to re-fix the problem leading to all my calenders prior to mid December being destroyed!
Why wasn't that warning in the itunes sync dialogue box to begin with?

I have a problem with the sync between iTunes and ipad2. I can not see the files in iPad. Help me please.

I have a problem with the sync between iTunes and ipad2. I can not see the files in iPad. Help me please.

Cannot see what files ? Music (synced music should appear in the iPod app), films/TV shows (Videos app), documents ... ?

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Problems with mobileme syncing ...

Hi everyone. I'm having massive problems with mobileme sync with my iphone, my macbook and MacPC G5. Essentially I want the iphone contacts and calender data to overwrite anything on laptop and pc but I keep getting message that contacts couldn't be synced due to inconsistent data. Despite me overriding it. I'm not sure how I go about confirming that the computers data is valid and actually whether I want to because its the iphone data I want. Then despite saying its synced calenders its not updating on my macbook or PC ... any suggestions gratefully received. Its doing my head in! Oh I'm on Leopard OS.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the advice, I haven't tried that yet. Will do so and pray that it will work. This however doesn't solve the problem of appointments I'm putting on my iphone not updating on PC and laptop - they do however update on mobile me cloud! Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal. Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

Hmmmm.
At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
Click on the Finder icon in the dock
Click on Go > Home
Double-click Library
Double-click Preferences
Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.

Problem with config sync between two CSM-S modules

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with config sync between two CSM-S modules.
I am using CSM-S software version 2.1(8).
The acitve module is used in a 6509 with WS-SUP720-BASE supervisor running software version 12.2(18)SXF12a.
The standby module is used in a 6509-V with VS-S720-10G supervisor (no VSS setup) running software version 12.2(33)SXI3.
Failover seems to work fine:

This box is active
Configuration is out-of-sync
priority 150, heartbeat 3, failover 40, preemption is on
switch-standby# sh modu csm 2 ft

The last log message on standby device seems to be correct - there is no CSM configuration after the attempted config sync.
Our configuration includes about 3500 lines and it is really uncomfortable to keep in sync manually.
Maybe someone has the same problem?
kind regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
I am running into the exact same issue. Upon further investigation I've discovered that this is a known bug, CSCtd09117. You can read more about it here: http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtd09117 . Apparently this is fixed in ver 12.2(32.8.11)SX323 .
I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet, so I can't verify the fix, but if it works for you please let me know.
Regards,
Brandon

IPod touch sync problem with iCal

My iPod touch (3th gen) doesn't sync any new appointment with iCal anymore (and vice versa). He only sync the older appointments, even when replacing all data from iCal to the iPod. I think the problem started since installing OS X Lion. I do not work with MobileMe, but directly via iTunes. How can I solve this problem?

Did you try to click either "all" or "selected"? If you click "selected" you need also to click on the different calenders that you set up. For example, if you have djm027 calender (that is calender for yourself), another calender for sister, another calender for your brother and so forth. You need to click them all if you want to be seem on your iPod Touch. And if you only want yours then you just click djm027. I am not sure if this help. This is how I fix the problem myself.

Problems with iCal and Picasa: related to system battery?

Just over the past two days, iCal has been repeatedly showing alarms at 5 past the hour, and Google Update has been repeatedly (much more often than hourly) asking for me to update Picasa, even though I successfully updated the first time the dialog box appeared a couple of days ago.
The iCal alarm that popped up while I was reading this showed alarms dating back to 23:55 GMT on Monday 15 November. If I leave my computer for more than 2 hours I do not get duplicate alarm windows stacked up.
Racking my brain for recent changes made which may be significant (I use my computer so much it seems to be in a continuous state of flux):
-I reset the SMC
-I upgraded to 10.6.5
-My slot-loading drive has been failing to eject CDs (probably a red herring. I've been using a script to repeatedly use drutil tray eject 1 until ejected).
Other details which may or may not have a bearing:-
I use Parallels Desktop 5 regularly, which slows my machine down considerably.
I have an iPhone 3G which I sync with iCal, iTunes, Adress Book etc.
Any other changes, I really can't remember. Is there any way to look at log files (which I find monumentally off-putting, but would try), or something else, to easily pick out my recent significant changes? The fewer sources I have to check the better, as I am very time-poor.
Obviously thanks and respect go to anyone who can be helpful.

This solved my the problem ! The solution was written by a Googe employee.
I assume you've enabled two-factor authentication for your Google account. In this case, you'll have to generate an access code at https://www.google.com/
accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens - and use that code in place of your password in the iPhone Mail settings.
You'll have to generate a new access code for each place you log in that doesn't support two-factor authentication (i.e. anywhere except in a browser).
Since the apple email client doesn't support the new gmail authenticator, you have to generate a code via the link above and use that in place of your regular password.

Problems with calendar syncing

I am having problems with my calendar syncing... my iPad has the correct date/time, and so does my computer (Mac Pro with Snow Leopard). I use Entourage 2004 on my computer for my calendar. I have the sync on Entourage to sync with iCal, and then in iTunes I tell it to sync with the "Entourage" calendar in iCal.
So when I tried to sync both my iPhone (which always worked before) and my iPad, all of a sudden people's birthdays were a day off, and then it went and duplicated all my calendar entries.
I managed to delete the duplicates with some scripts, and got Entourage looking right. I told Entourage to overwrite iCal's calendar. So both of them looked good. I told iTunes to overwrite the iPad's calendar with the iCal calendar...
and so my "all day" entries on the iPad are now spanning 2 days, and people's birthdays are 2 days off. I have NO idea what the stupid thing is doing, everything is correct in Entourage. But I need to get my calendars working. Please help!!

It turns out that I may have not waited enough time for the wipe of all of my existing calendar appointments to sync through.
I created a few more in outlook, deleted them, checked via the office 365 web calendar they were deleted.
Then I waited another 15 minutes, created the Exchange/Office365 account from scratch, and magic I appear to be back!
(until something else goes wrong that is)

Problem with Desktop sync with Torch 9810

I recently acquired a Torch 9810 (upgrading from a Curve 8900).
Sometimes, when I try to sync the Torch using my Macintosh (OS 10.6.8) I have the following problems:
1. When backing up calendars the desktop software warns me that if I continue 487 entries will be deleted on my desktop computer. But I have the Blackberry and my Mac iCal program set so as not to delete old files. There seems not to be an option just to update the Blackberry and leave my desktop computer alone. The choice seems simply to sync or not to sync. How can I ask Blackberry Desktop to modify my handheld device ONLY?
2. If I try to cancel a "sync" functions, sometimes the program just hangs, then I have to use "Force Quit."
3. Then when I reconnect the Blackberry the Mac OS tells me the Blackberry memory is corrupted and I should re-format the disk.
I did not have this problem with my Curve 8900. What is happening? How can I prevent this from happening again?

Problems with Audio Sync and Rendering

In both problems what happens is NOT consistent. If were, would think was a setting or something I was doing wrong.
About the rendering problem. I capture either through FCP Log and Capture or through my analog to digital "box", Formac Studio TVR. In both cases record in DV setting. When I then Import these files about 3 out of 4 times they need full rendering. But doing all things the same, there is that 1 out of 4th time where no rendering is needed at all. Does not seem to matter whether I capture through FCP or Foremac. Results seem the same. Like I said to begin with, if was consistent would figure that is just how the program is. But due to the time it takes to do a render, sure would be nice if could be avoided some way.
Regarding the Audio Sync. At times, maybe 1 out 10 times, the audio is bad. It begins at the beginning of the film being out of sync maybe two or three frames. But then every 10 minutes of film it progressively get's worse, losing a good 6 to 10 frames as one goes. I can fix by doing a lot of cutting and then moving the film around till it is in sync again, but as you can imagine takes a LOT of extra work. Any ideas as to why this is happening and what could be done to prevent in future??
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I've used flip4mac for about a year and have had no problems with it. I mostly use it to export preview versions for windoze people. The quality is very good, though it takes significantly longer to export than a similar-quality quicktime movie.
