Sync iCal within office

I'm trying to sync iCal between different computers on the same network, specificaly mine and my assistant. It seems that the only way to do this is through a .Mac account.
Is this true? Is there no way of syncing them easily? After spending $4000 on a desktop and $2000 on a laptop the only way to get them to talk to each other is to spend ANOTHER $100 (per year) for a .Mac account. And I you have to use the internet, great. I live in Thailand where the internet drops out all the time, not so convieniant.
Don't get me wrong, I love mac's, but what a rip off.
If apple can develop the technology for their computers to communicate with other 3rd party devices through iSync, then they can dam well figure out how to get two of their own devices to communicate with each other.
The many loyal customers of the Apple. corp don't mind paying more for their products because we realize that we get a better product for our money. However this amounts to spousal abuse.
Apple... Sort it out!!

After updating to iCloud and setting up iCal sync the program deleted all my Outlook events and cleared them from my office's server. How do I now sync my still existing iCal events back to Outlook for syncing with my office.

How can I get my Outlook information that was moved to iCal back onto my Outlook calendar for syncing with my office's exchange service?

Problem solved I think. I exported my iCloud Calendar file in Outlook to Google Calendar which in turned re-populated my Outlook default calendar. This was picked up by the exchange and sent to all computers in the office.
I had hoped that iCloud, and its calendaring abilities, would remove my need for Google calendar to serve as an exchange between my iPad, iPhone and Outlook on PC (and with it connection to my staff). However, it seems that iCloud is simply not to that point yet. Hopefully Apple will begin to implement some of the processes Google Sync utilizies, specifically the ability for Sync to keep a PC running Outlook and an Android based phone in near-real-time sync. It seems that as of yet Apple has not considered the cross-platform issues of the iPhone being in wide-use in business/commercial settings with PCs running Outlook (and said PC being networked to staff, coworkers, etc...).

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Sync iCal with multiple Mac systems - How to ?

I have created a system over the years that finally worked for me using my Palm. I use missing sync and will sync my iCal at my office Mac and also at my home Mac. This way if over the weekend or anywhere else in-between my schedule changes, everything gets updated.
It also helps that I use .Mac to sync everthing in-between the computers as well.
So... I am now taking the plung into the iPhone... but I want to set this up correctly.
I cannot only sync my schedule at work OR home. Too much changes throughout the week for me. I also rely on syncing things on Sunday evening and then using .Mac to publish it around to various people (I am using the Mac technology as it was intented to be used!)
Since it appears that syncing is only acheived via iTunes and not using iSync, how can I acheive this?
Or could I use iSync via Bluetooth???
The ONLY thing I really need to sync on the work computer is the iCal ...everything else can sync at the home computer (well I would like to sync other items from time to time, but I can live with this solution if I have to!)
I am also concerned reading here what appears to tell me that I can only have one calendar... again I am a busy person who receives .Mac feeds with other people's iCals and sometimes has them sync and I currently have them sync to my Palm lifedrive (all color coded to clarify).
I really hope that going "all Mac" will be easier and simler than the cobbled together mess that I finally created over the years with the Palm with my macs. My wife and I finally know what each other's schedule is!
any thoughts?
thanks
Rich

I see what you are saying and understand how allowing .mac to update the other computers will work.
But what will update the iPhone until I reach the office computer (say I sync at the offic, I just updated things on the home computer, synced via .mac so things are OK for the computers, and it is the Friday evening... )
I will have a couple of days of outdated schedule in my pocket until Monday.
I want to keep a current iCal on my iPhone.
Is this possible?

Syncing iCal to Outlook Mac 2011

Folks,
I am running the latest version of Lion with Outlook 2011 for Mac. My principal calendar is maintained on Google as it sync quite well with Pocket Informant. Despite many attempts I am unable to sync iCal with Outlook 2011. Google sync quite well with iCal via a utility, but despite setting sync services to on, Outlook 2011 does not sync with iCal. Can anyone offer suggestions here?
Many Thanx
LRB55

The bottom line is that Office for Mac does not support CalDAV, which is the type of calendar hosted by Google and iCloud. Outlook will only sync calendars with iCal that were:
1. Created in Outlook.
2. Created in iCal "On My Mac".
If a calendar is created "On My Mac", then it is hosted locally (on your Mac) and Outlook can sync to it.
If it's created in Google or iCloud, then it's hosted on a server in the cloud. iCal syncs to that server using CalDAV. Outlook doesn't support CalDAV, so it can't sync with those calendars.

Need help syncing with Agent Office

I am trying to sync a Blackberry Curve 8530 using Blackberry Desktop Manager 5.0.1 with a real estate software program called Agent Office v.10
The problem I have, is that when I am trying to setup the sync options, and the desktop manager is requesting that I select a desktop application to sync with, Agent Office is not listed.
I have contacted the Agent Office people for help, and they seem to be just as miffed as I am.
Is there somewhere within the Desktop Manager that I can tell it programs to look for?
Does the desktop manager look for certain file types to associate with?
Any help is appreciated.

This instructional video walks you through the Blackberry synch for AgentOffice v.10.

ICal on macbook pro won't sync iCal events from iPhone 5

I've synced/backed up my iPhone 5 with iTunes within the past hour.
After it finished, I went onto iCal on my macbook pro and saw that it didn't have events my iPhone 5 had.
So then I went to settings and changed the iCloud settings so that it would back up iCal.
But even after that, it took too long to back up and it failed at backing it up.
So I googled how long iCloud takes to back up and realized that the more I had for it to back up, the longer it takes.
Now I'm down to 500-something mb for iCloud to back up. It's still taking a long time.
THEN I googled to see if anyone else has had any problems with syncing iCal.
There was one person who deleted iTunes 11.0.1 and downgraded to the 10 version.
Is there any way for me to sync/backup my iCal on my macbook pro with iCal events from my iPhone 5, vice versa?
(Other than downgrading, if there is one)

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

Hello keleko17,
KB12268 lists the current supported Desktop programs supported by the BlackBerry Desktop Manager for application synchronization.
You can contact the vendor about a possible 3rd party add in application for compatibility with the software.
Hope this helps!
Thanks

Two Macs syncing iCal problems

I have an Intel iMac at the office and a G4 Powerbook at home. I want to sync iCal on both computers and also sync to my iphone. On both computers, iCal takes forever to sync (if it does) and seems to stall or hang up the computer while syncing. How can I erase all events in iCal or make it faster to speed up syncing?
I also have way too many contacts in address book transferred from Filemaker Pro. Searching is painful on the iPhone.

The fundamental issue here with synchronizing your calendaring data is that the iPhone, and its iTunes interface to the synchronization framework, are not intended by Apple to be synchronized to more than one Macintosh desktop or portable machine. This is true of all Mac OS X synchronization processes: a device like an iPhone is not meant to serve as a 'data carrier' between computers, and places your data at substantial risk.
Instead, you should synchronize your computers using .Mac Sync or use a third-party solution like SyncTogether™ from Mark/Space.

Sync iCal further than One year?

Is it possible to make iSync sync iCal events further than one year into the future? At the moment my work roster repeats indefinitely in iCal, but in iSync I can only sync the calendar to my Nokia for 1 year into the future.
Is the time limitation set in iSync itself or within the phone specific plugin?
Any help or ideas appreciated. Cheers.

It's not possible to sync events further than 1 year into the future and 1 month into the past with iSync. These limits are set by iSync/SyncServices and cannot be extended, even if you develop your own plugin.
I believe one reason for this is that most phones have a limited amount of memory reserved for events (separate to the amount of memory card or internal storage space), which could easily be filled if events were synced to infinity.
Note, that if a phone supports syncing "proper" recurring events, each recurring event is only sent to the phone once and the phone's calendar internally repeats it infinitely. On phones that don't sync proper recurring events, iSync sends the event repeatedly up to the timeframe limits set in iSync.

I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account "iCloud" failed." Been to Apple - no luck. Ideas?

I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue.
I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
Many Thanks.

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

How to sync ical with multiple apple devices and android?

Does anybody have use an android phone in addition to apple devices, and have you figured out how to sync ical with all? (I know there are other calendars that can be used by all, but it means a lot to my husband to stay with ical.)

I tried Yahoo in the past but had trouble with duplicate entries. However, this was a while ago before Yahoo updated their site and this was with syncing to a Windows computer with Outlook in addition to a Mac so my results might not be typical. Yahoo's worth a shot, but my experience with Yahoo is why I use Google Calendar.
Beyond that, I don't know of any other "free" services. There are many other hosted calendar sites that could work, but you'd pay something like $5-$20 per month, which is comparable to MobileMe.

Saving/Opening documents to SharePoint 2013 from within Office 2010 applications

I was hoping that Office 2010 would work nicely together in terms of saving to and opening documents from SharePoint 2013. Alas, I was disappointed and somewhat surprised to see that opening/saving documents in SharePoint from within Office still
involves copying, pasting and hacking the URL of the document library in the Save or Open dialogue box. I was fully expecting that Office 2010 would have display some sort of SharePoint navigation so you could view your sites and document libraries in a similar
way to folders. A mature document management system this ain't!
Anyone have any advice on how to improve the Open/Save to/from SharePoint experience in Office 2010? I'm open to the idea of Office add-ins whether third party or official Microsoft.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply, but that's from within SharePoint, not Office?
An example scenario: I create a new document or receive a document, I'm in the document, and I want to publish the document to a document library in SharePoint. At the moment I would have to save the document, load up SharePoint, navigate to the document
library and then go through the upload process.
I should really be able to, from within Word, select File - Save to SharePoint (say) and then be able to navigate to the document library I want to publish to. Really basic DMS stuff that I'm surprised isn't there!
Similar thing to opening a document. I should be able to Open from SharePoint, navigate to the document library via some sort of navigation box, and open it.
Thoughts appreciated.

How do i sync ical with my other computer

I need to sync iCal on my two mac computers and am not sure how to do it.

iCloud will probably solve this issue once it gets released. Meanwhile, you can sync one of them with Google Calender first, then sync Google Calender with the others. I'm quite sure this will work.
