Stuck in iCal/MobileMe Upgrade Loop

When I launch iCal a dialogue box pops up and I am asked if I want to
"upgrade to the new MobileMe Calendar." I am assured that if I click
the "Upgrade..." button I will "learn more about the new MobileMe
Calendar" and be able to upgrade.
"Sure, why not?"
Clicking "Upgrade..." simply takes me to my calendar at me.com. There
is no information on an upgrade, and nothing seems different.
Each time I launch iCal on any of five Macs currently in use the same cycle
repeats.
TIA!

I upgraded to iCal Beta and have regretted it ever since.
First of all I couldn't upgrade despite getting the invite because the upgrade cycle didn't work. Then when I finally upgraded cutting and pasting info into iCal put everything in the wrong order with no simple way of putting it right, so addresses and phone numbers all got mixed up. Then the leave feedback button was nowhere to be seen to report this problem so I decided to leave the Beta. Now I cannot get iCal on iPhone to sync any other way but manually despite no end of resetting sync data, backing up and or erasing calendars.

ICal MobileMe upgrade : disappeared local calendars.

Hi all,
I "upgraded" my MobileMe iCal as I was asked to. Now all "on my mac" calendars are gone.
Some were not synced with MobileMe, so they just gone forever...
Like the ones I subscribed to.
Looks like the new MobileMe iCal just wiped out everything that's not MobileMe. Not cool.
I don't have the "over 30 days events gone" issue like others, though.
Does it mean that if one day I quit MobileMe (I'm not planning to, but hypothetically speaking), all my calendars will be gone ?
Thx

When Apple made the announcement to upgrade to OS 10.6 otherwise calendars would not sync, I did it. I've upgraded all of my computers to Snow Leopard and I am experiencing a total disconnect in service since that day. None of my calendars will sync properly. I've tried resending invitations, creating a new calendar to share and all to no avail. And on top of that, every time I've sent invitations, the app crashes!!
Please don't tell me that I have to upgrade to Lion 2 months after I was told to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I rather go back to microsoft entourage.
I'm really mad about this. I just said microsoft.

ICAL + MobileMe = Confusion

Having upgraded to the new version of MobileMe, I have eventually managed to sync my iCAL, MobileMe and iPhone diaries (thanks to those who have already posted communications on how to do this). However, I have a couple of questions in relation to this:
1. If all three diaries are now syncing wirelessly, what happens if I lose my iPhone and have to remotely wipe the data on it - does this mean that all my diary entries on MobileMe will also be wiped?
2. I now don't seem to be able to export my iCAL diary to archive to back it up - is this because i am no longer using 'on my mac' and now using 'me.com'? Is there a way to save the me.com calendar to the hard drive for safety and back-up?
Thanks

Dr Law,
...does this mean that all my diary entries on MobileMe will also be wiped?
No, all your data will remain in the cloud.
...Is there a way to save the me.com calendar to the hard drive for safety and back-up?

My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade. What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical. Thank you

My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade. What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical. Thank you

I totally agree. I just wasted .5 hrs trying to figure out how to manipulate and sync the reminders with the iCAl. Thanks for posting this thread online, I can stop wasting my time now. Apple, please change it back or make these apps sync.
Side note. I was creating my to do list and found the ability to asign a date by draging the task to the calendar in the bottom right. Then I discovered that I can drag that same reminder/to-do task into iCal and it will be created as an event. Would be great if I could simply sync the reminders to iCal instead of draging them over though. Then when I make the change in one the other can update with the next sync. This also prevents human error if I drag and drop the reminder onto the wrong date in iCal.

ICal / MobileMe To Dos & iPhone syncing over mobile networks: Solution!!!

I have been after a solution to use the to do list in iCal on my Mac @ home and the MobileMe Calendar web page while at work & away from home AND have it sync OTA with my iPhone. There hasn't been a solution that I have found for this until now! I have tried Things and OmniFocus, but in my opionion they are both too bloated for my needs. I want a simple todo list with due dates, notes, priorities and URLs, that I can use on desktops as well as mobile. The iCal / MobileMe to do list is perfect for this, but until now there hasn't been a way to keep the same todo list on my iPhone and keep it in sync everywhere.
I now have a solution. Appigo recently launched a beta of their iCal Sync app for OSX. I downloaded & installed this to my Mac at home, and downloaded their iPhone Todo app. Great syncing between iCal and iPhone over my home Wifi network. Then, I thought, what is to stop me using this over the internet when I'm not at home? So I setup a domain with no-ip.org, which allows you to point a domain name at your home DSL router IP address and have it forward traffic to your home computer. Using a DNS solution in this way means you can dynamically update the domain name to change when your router public IP address changes (unless you have a static IP assigned with your ISP). So, anyway, I set this up to point at my router's public IP address, then configured my home router to forward a specific TCP port to my Mac. So when traffic arrives at the router from the internet destined for this specific port, the router forwards it to the Mac. I configured the Appigo iCal sync app to listen on a static port (the same one I configured on the router) and ensured both my Mac and router firewalls were set to permit this traffic.
So now, with MobileMe set to sync automatically, I can add/edit/delete a todo on my iPhone when I'm away from my home wifi network and it instantly syncs with iCal on my Mac at home, then that gets propogated almost instantly to MobileMe. Also it means a change to the todo list on my Mac or on the MobileMe Calendar web page will also almost instantly get propgated to my iPhone (next timne the Todo app syncs).
Brilliant! The perfect solution for me, and only costing the price of the Appigo todo iPhone app!
If anyone would like more detail on how this was all done, let me know and I can go into more detail.
Just need to find something similar for note syncing now, and I'll be sorted.

Thanks for the excellent information on Appigo ToDo and Sync. This is great way to fulfill the unexplainable absence of this feature from Apple's own application suite (MobileMe, iCal, To Do items).
I downloaded Sync and the iPhone app. Configuration was a snap. I'm still working from a trial membership of MobileMe...with this feature working I'm just about ready to pony up and get a full membership.

Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!

Stuck with iCal under Mavericks

Since I installed Mavericks and since Apple obliges us to now sync through iCloud (as if all the planet had 100% secure and fast internet), I am stuck with iCal that keeps "Moving calendars to server" and ends up in "Server responded 400 to the operation calDAVMigrateToServerQueueableOperation". Any on how to get out of this trap ? I tried to back up my calendars, erase them from iCal, erase them from iCloud, disconnet the accounts then reconnect, I am still stuck.
Help guys thank you (and many thanks to Cupertino, this is probably my last post before shifting - an Apple fan since 1981)

Forget it... eventually the installer won and it finished up. I never had a chance to reply to that dialog and I guess I didn't need to.

IPhoto in permanent synch mode since iPhone 3G and MobileMe upgrade?

Hi, My MobileMe upgrade went well with my old iPhone on Friday, got my new iPhone 3G today and brought it home and everything seems to be cool except... iPhoto is giving me the message "Albums are currently being synchronized with your Web Gallery. Do you want to stop synchronizing before quitting?" Then the options Don't Quit or Stop and Quit are presented..... It has been that way for about 6 hours now... I don't have that many photos, a pretty fast internet connection, dual 2.6 MacPro and it all was fine before my iPhone 3G today... Thanks! (Checking my gallery on MobileMe everything appears as normal and up to date...iPhone 3G shows up in iPhoto with (0) photos...)

Well try press one of the buttons and see what happens. I mean, you have your back up, right?
Regards

Aperture 3.4 upgrade loop

Anyone any ideas? I am in an Aperture 3.4 upgrade loop. On Apps update, it shows Aperture is avaialble for upgrade to 3.4 - when I ask it to install, it says not available from this service, and you need to go directly to Software Update. But from Software update, after downloading 3.4, when you click on it to install it says "Unable to install from here - go to Apps Update" and this loop continues.
I am running Aperture 3.2.3 - I originally bought Aperture 2 online from Apple and paid upgrade fees to get to where I am now.
Thanks,
John

Try to use the installer on the Apple Support page:
Aperture 3.4
There has been a problem with the recent installer. If you have no urgent need to upgrade now, you might consider to wait for the next release fixing this problem. But if decide to upgrade now and just in case, you see crashes after upgrading, see this support article by Apple:
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating

New iCal / MobileMe system: how to synchronize ? How to group calendars ? H

Hi there,
Apple decides to change iCal/MobileMe system. Thanks for changing something that worked fine. Now it doens't.
I used to have my local calendar that synchronized with MobileMe, with groups of calendar (e.g. professional & personal). I used to publish professional calendars. Worked fine.
Now the 'MobileMe calendars' appear on iCal. I have problems
1/ I cannot create groups of calendars on MobileMe. How to do that ? And how next to publish one group ?
2/ I have local calendar still here. But it does not synchronize no more with MobileMe (in both ways). How to ?
3/ I want to go back with the ancien system. How to get back ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hi Roger,
Thank you for your answers and your contribution.
The new MobileMe calendar does not support Groups.
You mean that, now that I decided to pay to synchronize, I have less services ? Quite original !!
To transfer a local calendar to MobileMe: select it; from the File menu choose Export...>Export... - an .ics file will be saved in the specified location.
I have several calendars (around 15) I regularely save. Before, I used to save the whole database simply in one click.
If I undersatand well, I will have to save manually all calendars one by one ?
I really do not undersatand these "improvements"...
Regards,

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Stuck in an Endless Restart Loop

My Mac Pro 8-core running OS 10.5.4 is stuck in an endless restart loop. The problem started when I tried to allow read & write access on my Macintosh HD to another user. Even though I only applied the permission change to my internal hard drive, all my externals suddenly became locked and I could not access them. When going to set permissions on the externals, it was listed as "custom" and I could not alter them. I went to the terminal to try to allow access to the external drives, but the terminal failed to load. That's when I tried restarting my computer and it's now rebooting constantly without ever loading.
What I've tried so far:
-I can't load the OSX install CD because the computer is unresponsive to the open tray command by holding down the mouse click.
-The computer is unresponsive when I try to start in safe mode.
-The computer is unresponsive when I hold down command option O F to force the tray open with firmware.
-I reset the PRAM by pressing command option P R, this is the only keyboard command that has worked so far, but still nothing.
-I unplugged the computer for 10 minutes and plugged it back in. Still nothing.
Any help on what to do next would be appreciated.

I'm having a similar problem.. my early 2008 3Ghz macro when cold starts up the fans rev up and click its off. this repeats for up to five minutes, then i get a chime and then it shuts off. this is repeated for a will as if it is warming up. after about ten minutes it gets as far as finishing booting up and still shuts off. only after about 15 minutes this operating system is stable and does not shut off.
when the computer is fully warmed up it shuts off and restarts fine..
it has recently had a new logic board. can it be the power supply..
please any one got any ideas???

HT5622 I am stuck on the IOS7 upgrade at the rescue e-mail portion?

I am stuck on the IOS7 upgrade at the rescue e-mail portion?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
