Sync Exchange & MobileMe Calendars

A user named Bob utilizes iCal with a MobileMe calendar. That calendar needs to sync to his Exchange calendar that is also setup in iCal, so other users can view Bob's calendar from within Outlook 2011.
How can this be accomplished? Thanks.

ok, i decided to just go ahead and sign up for a mobileme account to verify it all.
the answer is yes, this all works, and quite well.
you can have both exchange, and mobileme, and have FULL syncing of contacts/calendars/mail with both. both running push a the same time.
its quite nice, but makes me wonder why apple can't enable the support for exchange calendars/contacts at teh same time as local contacts/calendars from addressbook/ical
pretty cool overall, basically there's not much of a need to ever dock your iphone (besides music/video syncs)

Possible to sync Exchange 2007 calendar (accessible in iCal) to MobileMe?

I can access my company Exchange 2007 calendar from iCal on my Mac.
But when I log into MobileMe, I can't see this calendar.
Is there anyway my Mac can publish/copy/make-available my Exchange 2007 calendar to my MobileMe account?

Could you please link to that solution you found?

How can I sync Exchange/GroupWise calendar with Mountain Lion and iOS 6.1?

On my iPhone I have defined the GroupWise server and I'm receiving every calendar events but it doesn't sync to my computer.
Any idea why and how to fix it?

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

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.

What gives??

IPad iCal doesn't sync since Mobileme Calendar Beta

Hello there,
Everything is in the title. Can't sync iCal on my iPad with Mobileme anymore. Any idea or link?
Thanks!

Hi, Vincent.
I banged my head against this one for a while myself. Finally, I did a search on apple.com/support and found this knowledge base article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Help/en/mmcc733205.html
Hope it helps.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. I can get it to sync if my iMac is set to MobileMe calendar, but I cannot get rid of iCal which keeps coming up with an error message.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message.

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

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...

Can I sync my iPhone calendar with exchange server AND ical on my mac ?

I have been happily using my iPhone synced with my Macbook over usb via iTunes.
I have contacts and iCal syncing. I have a number of 'calendars' set up in iCal which allow me to view separate aspects of home and work but they all exist within iCal. iPhone just treats these as colour coded appointments (different colour for each ical calendar)
I really like this set up.
However, I just changed jobs to a firm where they have a hosted outlook exchange set up and I need to use the exchange calendar for work appointments and showing my availability.
I have managed to setup my iPhone to work with the Exchange server for email as well as in apple Mail on my mac. This has all worked fine. However, I hesitated when iPhone asked if i wanted to sync my contacts and calendar. I said no as I was unsure if my private calendar/contacts would be uploaded to the public work area.
In fact it seems that this is the least of my worries:
As I have read on apple support for iPhone:
"Note that after configuring an Exchange ActiveSync account, all existing contact and calendar information on the iPhone or iPod touch is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer syncs contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your iPhone or iPod touch wirelessly with MobileMe services."
So I am really pleased that I didn't let it sync those and wipe out my personal data if that is really true.
But now I am unsure how best to enable myself to view and update the work calendar on exchange.
Also it would be nice to see work contacts on my iPhone.
Contacts
- although i have said no to sync contacts with Exchange in fact it looks like I can get contacts ok - when i send email from the Exchange account on the phone , it searches Exchange contacts on the server as i type in the TO box.
- also in Contacts on the iPhone I have a new group that has been created with the name of my Exchange account. The group appears to be blank when you go into it on the phone, but you can type in the search box and get contact details from the server just fine.
This seems workable for now for my purposes, although updating contacts is not going to be possible that way.
I'd like more info on that if poss but more importantly..
Calendar
- Unlike Contacts, no Calendar has been auto created for Exchange
- Unlike contacts, I can't see how I can view or search or create an appointment in my Exchange calendar on the iPhone
What is the best solution to this problem - I presume lots of people face the same dilemma. My initial research suggests that there are multiple ways round this but all of them look like workarounds with various disavantages.
Questions are
- Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
- Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
- What is the best work around for this?
At the moment I am seriously considering getting a separate iPhone for work and have that sync with Exchange fully although that seems a bit drastic and does not solve the problem of seeing work and home appointments on the same calendar.

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.

None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

Calendar Invitations Using iCal Synced with Google Calendar via Exchange

I have a very complicated system set up for syncing multiple calendars. I use CompanionLink to sync my work Lotus Notes calendar to iCal. I then sync my Google Calendar and my husband's Google Calendar to iCal via Exchange. I've recently added the iCal step as a way to get push notifications. That's the only reason I've gone to iCal as I have CalenGoo on my iPhone and it's been working great up to now. However, the only notifications it can do are through email. I have 2 questions.
First - using the iCal program on the iPhone, I tried to invite attendees for a meeting. No invitations were sent. Is there something that has to be set up to make this happen? Also, is it supposed to be sending them through Google or through my own email (mobileme is the primary email account on this phone)?
Second - Is it possible to mark events as Private or Public? I don't want personal events to show up in my work calendar so that others can view them.
Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem with my ipad 2. Hope someone can help....

Sync Exchange calendar to iPhone via iCal on a Mac

My company uses Exchange 2007 for mail, contacts, calendar. Unfortunately, it does not support access to Exchange from the iPhone. For mail on the iPhone, I use the IMAP client which works well. For the contacts, Address Book can talk to our LDAP server. However, for calendar access, I'm stuck. I can see the Exchange events on my Mac iCal. Non-Exchange events sync across to the iPhone using MobileMe. The only way to get the Exchange events to the iPhone is via iTunes, which is not helpful since I don't want to have to do that continuously. Does anyone know how to sync Exchange events to an iPhone? Or any other solution?

I have the same problem - is there a solution?

Can I sync my personal pop and exchange server calendar/contacts ??

The "genius" at Apple Store says no, but others have said yes. I am using Outlook for my personal email/contacts/calendar and an exchange server outlook for my business email/contacts/calendar. I would like to be able to sync both outlook profiles. I can get email from both pop and iMap accounts, but it seems that I can only sync one calendar and contacts. When I activated active sync, it synced my exchange server info, but I have no way to sync my Outlook Pop account. Active sync was about to overwrite the other info. Any thoughts?

With your iPhone connected with iTunes, check under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
3.0 included the ability to sync contacts and calendars direct with the supported application(s) on your computer along with syncing contacts and calendars over the air - at least with a MobileMe account. I'm not sure if the same is available when syncing contacts and calendars OTA with an Exchange account, but it should be.

Added calendar in iCal not synced to MobileMe

I moved a calendar from "On My Mac" to my MobileMe account group, using the export-import method. The new calendar, however, does not sync to MobileMe. I even tried an overwrite (bookmarks, calendars, contacts and keychains) from my Mac to MobileMe but the added calendar still did not appear in MobileMe.
I quit and relaunched iCal, which started an immediate sync. The new calendar promptly disappeared from iCal and I got a string of error messages (one for each entry in the new calendar, it seems) all ending with
The server responded with
“HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict”
and asking me to either "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server". It didn't seem to matter which one I selected – the error just kept cropping up. Eventually, I gave up and force quit iCal.
How can I add a new calendar to iCal that will sync with MobileMe?

Derek,
I presume that this procedure represents exactly what you have tried to accomplish?
Import an iCal calendar or event
If you use iCal and want to add your iCal calendars and events to a MobileMe calendar, you can import them.
Hide
To import an iCal calendar:
Open iCal, and then select the iCal calendar you want to import into your MobileMe calendar.
Choose File > Export > Export.
Type a calendar name, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu, and click OK.You can store the exported file anywhere, and you can delete it after you finish importing it.
Choose File > New Calendar, and then choose a MobileMe calendar (by default, your MobileMe email address).
Type a calendar name (you can use the same name as the calendar you just exported), and press Return.
Choose File > Import > Import, select your exported iCal calendar, and then click Import.
Select the destination MobileMe calendar to which you want to add the imported iCal calendar, and then click OK.
Quit iCal and go to the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and delete any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the name. Log out/in or restart and reattempt using the exact procedure which I copied from the MobileMe Help page.

How to import or sync Exchange server data like Calendar, Contacts with a web application or web service

How to import or sync Exchange data like Calendar, Contacts with a web application or web service.
1. Is there any API to import contacts and calendar (tasks and events) from exchange server to my calendar in web application using web services or http request. the user would have provided the username and password for his exchange account.

Missing a calendar in iCal after syncing with MobileMe....

i am having some problems with iCal ...i am missing one my Calendars in iCal and wasn't sure how to get it back. I downloaded the calendars file and calendar.plist from my Time Machine backup...the missing calendar showed up at first, but it seemed to disappear right away (i assume after syncing with MobileMe.) Not sure what would be the easiest way to bring it back.......

It's possible to restore from Time Machine, though it's a slightly complicated process. Please follow very carefully the steps described here:
