Success with 7 - now a Calendar
Ok friends, here's the rare success story...I beat my way thru all the issues installing Widows 7 RC on my MacBook, and it actually works rather well, so far as I can tell. I got a free email program, Thunderbird, from Mozilla which looks a lot like Mail on the OS X side, so now I need a program like iCal - I need it to be able to subscribe to the iCal Mobile Me calendars, and not much else as a minimum and not much else.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
I would also download and install Windows Live. Live Mail is what I use (along with T'Bird). Live Photo Gallery etc.
But Office 2007 gets half my time and attention.

I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro last week. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. I can't find where to delete that email login. iCloud is also showing my new email login, plus a bogus one I accidentally created trying to fix this problem. Now the calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync with my iPhone5.
It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.
It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

I have seen a lot of posts on this forum about problems with the iPhoto services (calendars, cards, books, etc.). I read a lot of these before ordering one for my mom for Christmas, and it made me skeptical about buying. But, I did anyway and I just wanted to say that it came out perfect. All of the photos came out crystal clear with awesome color. It looked exactly like the digital copy. Some even had the yellow "!" mark, but I ignored it because most of the pictures were taken with a Nikon DSLR or a Canon PowerShot; both nice cameras. I can't wait to see her reaction on Christmas when she opens the sleek packaging
In short, I just wanted to give some props to Apple for once again amazing me with their products. I wanted to give a little positive note to those who are thinking about ordering a calendar, to reassure them that they will most likely be satisfied even through all of the negative reviews on this site.
Hope this helps By the way, I have iPhoto 6 on a MacBook Pro.I too had great success with a calendar and book order. The calendar was a present for my mum but, the only downside of it was, when she saw the Apple logo on the box, she thought I had bought her a laptop!

I have shared my icalendars with family members via icloud and now my calendar on my computer has been stuck saying "Moving calendars to server account" for literally 5 days. What do I do?
Hi, Confused As Always CB.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Hopefully I can help resolve this issue for you. Try removing the preference to sync calendar events in iCloud preferences. Once this is down enable the preference again and see if this resolves the issue.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
If the issue persists, try all remaining steps in the article below.

I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -

The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I have an iphone 4s that I have synced with my icloud calendar. I am able to sync from my icloud calendar to my iphone but not from my iphone to my icloud calendar. What settings do I have wrong?
@mprking
On the iPhone go to settings>general>about>name>type in new name -
Had to create a new AppleId because the old one that I had was linked to my daughters IPhone account now that was successful I'm having trouble setting up a new iCloud account under my new apple ID due to it not transferring.
If you have both already been syncing data to the same account and now have merged data, you would have to set up a new account with your new ID, migrate a copy of the data to the new account, then eliminate your daughter's data from your account and vice versa.
To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up the new iCloud account on this phone using the other Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing for for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting your daughter's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them. -
"The server responded with an error" - Calendar
I get the error message "The server responded with an error" every five minutes from the calendar app, along with the following:
"The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[my e-mail is here]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct.
I used to sync a google calendar but deleted it because I don't use it anymore. I just want the error message to go away.
Thanks for your help!My use case is slightly different; we still use our google calendar inside "iCal", and we got the same error text.
Not sure whether this will solve it longer-term, but I simply deleted the Google account from Calendar / Accounts... and then re-added it. After ~20 minutes, the pop-up has not popped up, so I'm calling this 'success' for now.
Here's how:
In Calendar on the Mac, choose Calendar / Accounts... ( this will open System Preferences / Internet Accounts )
Find the Google account which is syncing its calendar to iCal
Select it (click) and then remove it by clicking the minus icon [ - ] below the list of accounts. Read and confirm that you're removing the account. It's your choice.
Close (quit) Calendar if you have not already closed it. This may not be necessary, but I quit the application just the same.
Back in Internet Accounts, click the [+] to add a new account. Choose Google.
Enter your Google account name and password. Choose Calendar and un-check any that you do not want.
Re-open Calendar and the google calendars should re-sync and display as expected. If you chose any custom colors, you may need to reset them according to your preferences.
I hope this helps. Good luck! -
Syncing with Outlook 2007 Calendar
Hi All,
I guess that there have been loads of topics raised against this subject. If anyone can help ....
iPhone 3GS (4.1 loaded) with iTunes 10 - attempting to sync with Outlook 2007 calendar on Windows XP. Getting the following error :com.apple.Outlook.client.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
No problems (so far) with Contacts.
Help please !Just got my first iPhone a few days ago. I use it to sync to Outlook 2007. The first few syncs went fine, but now changes in either the Outlook Calendar or the Calendar App are not synced to the other. The sync completes without problem (or success).
I guess I'm not the only one having this problem, which is worrying. Even more worrying is the fact that no one seems to be able to resolve this. If it's broken, tell us, and let us know when it's going to be fixed. The fact that we're being ignored is extremely poor...
There's also no documentation I can find about where to look for logs for possible errors, what else might be happening. -
ICloud with personal email - Calendar Event Sharing
Calendar event sharing seems to be a pain for a lot of people especially because of the new iCloud and even more so if you are a legacy .Me or .Mac user.
First of all if you are a first time iCloud user and you entered your own personal e-mail address as your AppleID - you will not be able to send calendar events.
Calendar events (created from your computer (iCal or iPhone) to your spouse or whomever) have to be sent by Apple. If Apple does not have a .mac or .me account associated to your iCloud account it doesn't work. What happens is you can not invite anyone to events and when someone invites you, instead of the calendar event going into your calendar you get the invite as an e-mail message and you have to manually download the ical request.
BRAND NEW iCLOUD USER BUT CAN'T SEND CALENDAR EVENTS
So if you created an iCloud account from scratch with a personal e-mail address, you must go to your system prefs > iCloud, turn on "Mail & Notes" (even if you are not using iCloud e-mailand are using your own) THEN iCloud will ask you to create a new .me email address! You have to come up with a new email address and it will be associated with your AppleID. Then you can turn off the Mail & Notes option and now the calendar can send and accept calendar invites.
.ME OR .MAC USER MIGRATION BUT CAN'T SEND CALENDAR EVENTS
When I migrated from my .me account to iCould everything moved fine. But I soon came to realize that I no longer needed my .me account anymore. I had a different AppleID than my .me so I figured, now is a good time to stop using my [email protected] account and switch to my personal AppleID '[email protected]' address. When I deleted my old iCloud account from my computer and added a new one (with my old original appleID) i was then unable to send calendar events. I realized that Apple has no way to send on my behalf. I have no email accout with apple. That is just because your AppleID is an email address doen not mean that Apple can use it to send and recieve email. * Your AppleID being your persoanl email address does not mean you have created an email account with apple, it means that you have created a Login ID with apple * Much the same way that Amazon.com can ask you to login and you enter your personal email address to do so.. In both cases they are just using your email as your ID with their system. SO, if you create an iCloud account from an AppleID that is your primary email address this means that you will also need a email address with Apple's .me or .mac system to send on your behalf, calendar invites.Only icloud.com email accounts can be used on icloud now. No personal domains. You will have to buy a contract at some web/email provider to set up an account with them.
I very much doubt Apple is going to get into the provider business. -
How can I sync my outlook calendar with iPhone or calendar on Maverick?
I have just updated to Mavericks on my iMac. I use Microsoft Outlook for email, contacts and calendars. How do I now sync these on my iPhone ?
The only sync seems to be via iCloud, this is sharing calendar and contacts on the iMac but if I make any calendar additions to the outlook calendar it doesn't copy to the phone or the iMac calendar and similarly if I add an item to the phone calendar it syncs to the iMac calendar but doesn't copy to outlook.1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care. -
Sharing a 'shared calendar' with my work calendar?
I have a calendar I share with my wife and a work calendar on my iPhone. Here is the use case I am trying to solve for:
My wife puts a school event for one of our kids on our shared calendar. It's an event during the week that I would like to attend and need to mark it on my work calendar. Right now, I create a duplicate entry but for my work calendar. I have to remember all the specifics to recreate it. What I would like to do instead is either:
A) be able to associate that one entry with a second calendar so it continues to show up for my wife AND shows me as unavailable to work colleagues (I can't just edit and change it to my work calendar because it would be removed from the calendar I share with my wife, effectively removing it from her calendar)
B) easily duplicate the entry and then associate it to my work calendar - in this case I would have two entries. This is what I am doing manually now, but I would like an easier way of doing it than creating a new entry from scratch and having to reenter time, date and subject.
Are either of these possible or do I have to continue duplicating from scratch?You would need to share that calendar diretly to your work exchange account if your work exchange account supports that ability.

How can i sync a CalDav google calendar with my local calendar in iCal?
Hi,
I have a google calendar as CalDav-account in my iCal. It works perfect. Now i'd like to sync the google calendar with my local calendar, without copy/paste for every date. Ist there any possibility?I just discovered that when you set up CalDAV delegate accounts in iCal, you are really moving google calendars into iCal, not the other way around. So for everything to sync up you must enter events in the delegate calendars in iCal, not in your original iCal calendars.
