Reminders on iCloud, and iCal on Mac

I'm currently trying to get to grips with iCloud across all my devices, home Macbook (running Mountain Lion) work MacPro (running Lion) and iPhone (iOS6).
My problem is with the duplication of events in iCal. I use Reminders as my to do list and I use the iCloud version as the interface is a lot more usable than the tiny Reminders on iCal. So I create a new Reminder on iCloud, it appears in iCal's Reminders pane, and I'll use this to populate my working week in iCal. Reminders on iCloud pushes to iCal Reminders on the MacPro then I can plan my working weekly schedule, and all this gets pushed to my phone. My only problem is when I drag Reminders from iCal's pane on to the calendar the events keep duplicating. Anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong. I use to work like this in Snow Leopard with no problems

ical on your phone does not go away. What ever events you put in your icloud.com account will sycn with your iphone and vise versa.it woks best when you add other Apple products that way all your calanderevents will stay in sync reguardless the devise you enter them on. hope this answered your question.

How do I undo an update to pages 2.1 on an iPad 2? I can no longer open a document previously saved, even when I try to open it in the iCloud and on my Mac.

How do I undo an update to pages 2.1 on an iPad 2? I can no longer open a document previously saved, even when I try to open it in the iCloud and on my Mac.

With IOS Pages v2.0 and v2.1, Apple introduced a new document format that is incompatible with prior Pages versions on IOS or OS X Pages ’09. Opening older documents with these recent versions of Pages will permanently prevent the document from opening in earlier versions of Pages on IOS or OS X.
Nice of Apple to warn people.
There is no undo of an iTunes application update, short of forcing iTunes to restore IOS v6 back on that iPad 2. Even if you did that, you won't find the IOS Pages v1.7.2 in the iTunes store now.
IOS Pages v2+ will allow you to export content in Word .docx format. You do this by first tapping the box with an up-arrow in it (next to the left-most +). A menu will slide up — choose Send a Copy. Select a document icon. Pick Mail, and then Word. Your Pages v2.1 document will now be converted to Word .docx, and attached to an email body. Fill in the to address and send.

Iphone and Ical on mac do not sync anymore. All my events are in the iphone calendar! How do I backup iphone calendar, and how do I fix the syncronizing problem?

After getting iCloud the iCal on my mac does not sync with my iPhone calendar. All of my calendar notes are in my iPhone (while the mac's Ical remains empty) so I need to backup the iphone version. How?
Itunes says that "your calendars are being syncronized with iphone using icloud" - but the mac's ical does not show any of the new events I have added on my iphone.
I would like to install the new update on my iphone, but I am afraid to do it without knowing that I will be able to restore my iphone calendar. I have made calendar events for many years to come, I and will not risk losing them!
I have been looking for tips online, but the solutions usually suggest that I backup the ical on the mac and start fresh using this version. In other words overwrite iphone calendar with the ical from the mac. Which is not an option. What can I do?

Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

Problems with iCloud and iCal

I started using iCloud about a month ago...so far it has been quite the headache. I like the concept I put an appointment on one of my devices and it shows up on the rest (iphone, ipad, iMac). Just recently, when I open iCal on my iMac, all my appointments are gone! I have to then go to System Preferences and recheck the calendar to go to iCloud. And after a bit, then all my appointments reappear. This is getting old. It's defeating the purpose of using iCloud. My question is does anyone know of a glitch that is causing this? I'm about ready to dump iCloud and go back to synching with iTunes. Thank you!

I've now sorted the calendar issue and logged out of iCloud. Thanks to this link:

No more iCloud for me...
Would still be interested if anyone else has experienced the mail bug...

ICloud and ical sharing

For many years my office has used Chronos Systems Group Organizer to share a calendar which can be viewed and annotated by all members. It is no longer supported on all of our machines/systems and I have not yet found anything that will easily replace it - but I am open to suggestions.
I wondered if we could set up an account on iCloud which could be accessed by all staff here. We all have individual iCloud accounts but I'm not sure if we can set up another account in the office name which could then be accessed through a browser using a shared iCloud ID. We don't need the iTunes or email facilities, just the calendar. I realise that the only way to access it would be through Safari etc and would involve logging on every time it is used but if it is possible it does seem to answer our problem
Any suggestions?

Thanks for very prompt reply. I have set up a secondary account on my Lion mac and can see the calendar listed under iCal Calendats - how do I make an entry that is only visible on that calendar?
There are different ways depending on how you use iCal, the simplest way if you aren't going to set this calendar as your default is just to change the calendar setting when you create a new event.
Second, my colleagues are on 10.6.8 (because we have software which requires Rosetta) so can they see the 'Shared' calendar on their macs' iCal or will they have to use Safari?
They will need to use Safari (or whichever browser they use).

Icloud and ical

Hi, I'm having a problem syncing calendars that I am subscribed to via icloud. My university provides the option to subscribe to the online timetable corresponding to your course (better than importing since the timetable gets updated frequently). I have done that and set the location to "icloud". The timetable appears on my mac in ical but won't sync to my ipad and iphone. It does show up on my ipad and iphone as a checked calendar but the events don't show up. I had this problem before updating to ios 6 and still have it after updating. My other (manual) calendars that are set to the location "icloud" sync perfectly. I can't find a solution for this anywhere and help would me much appreciated.

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.

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:

More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

Hope this helps,

How can if figure out which contacts are in both iCloud and on my Mac?

I keep contacts on my Mac and on iCloud. I want to see which ones are in both databases. Some of them automatically "linked" and others did not. The search for showing contacts that are both a member of "my Mac" and a member of "iCloud" does not seem to work. I also want to figure out which contacts are not in a group and this has been difficult as well.

If you change your preferences so that the defaul is not iCloud then you get two sections like this:
When I don't have it set to On My Mac then I only get one section because all of my cards are in the cloud.

ICloud and Pin Code (Mac Mini)

Hi there,
I have some problem. I have Mac Mini 2010. Now my Mac Mini is blocked...(((
Was so -
I blocked my Mac Mini himself, when i used Icloud - (Find My Iphone-Select My Mac Mini and Remote Lock)
After it - my Mac Mini is rebooted and now is not work - "Please enter Pin code"
But i can't remember my pin code.
How i can recover my Pin Code?
Please help me!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Grigory

When you blocked your mini via Find My iPhone, the only way to get it up again is to enter the code. If you don't have the code, then reisntall OSX as a new machine and later restore from your Time Machine backup. Without the backup, you can only start from scratch with a fresh install of OSX. You'll lose all your personal files though.

Hey guys, so I recently had my macbook pro stolen. I had my find my mac turned on and i was wondering if i could still track my laptop if the thief wiped my hard drive and the recovery partition, but if they reinstalled the mountain lion osx from the internet recovery would that erase the find my mac feature? Thank you guys for all the help. Just doing what i can to try and retrieve my laptop. Thanks

Enabled Reminders for iCloud and lost most of my reminders

Hello all:
My primary Apple device is my iPhone 5. I use Reminders to keep To-Do checklists which I use almost daily. To be able to access these from my Desktop/Laptop, I decided to enable iCloud this morning and turn on Reminders thinking they would sync so I could interact with them on those machines. After enabling it, I went into my Reminders and noticed that most of them were gone. It looks like it had reverted to a much older state and subsequently removed a large portion of my Reminders. After noticing this, I disabled/re-enabled to see if that had any affect, but the result was the same.
How can I retrieve my old Reminders list or do I have to disable the service and restore from a backup and cut my losses?

Thank you for your support.
I apologize. I was a bit short with everyone today. I won't make excuses.

Has apple addressed the problems with iCloud and iCal?

I can see there have been lots of complaints about iCal errors in trying to sync on icloud. I'm not finding any solutions to the issues that are clearly affecting a lot of people. Any one know what's going on?

final cut pro 4.5 and final cut express 3 both seem to have the same dropped frames/capture issue once you upgrade to 10.4.9, something to do with spotlight.

Sync music on windows and iCal on mac?

I use my main PC which runs windows to store my itunes music. However, I use a macbook pro for all my iCal needs. Is it possible to sync the music on the ipod from windows and sync iCal from the macbook pro on the same ipod?

Thanks, that is what I figured but wasn't sure. I still have an old 3rd gen iPod but planning on getting a Touch in the near future.

One Mac has both iCloud and On My Mac.

But the other Mac has only iCloud available. How do I get On My Mac back on this Mac?

If you change your preferences so that the defaul is not iCloud then you get two sections like this:
