Sync stuck in a loop?

I am trying to sync one iCal calendar on two machines via dotMac. I was not getting this to work properly, so exported the contents of my (correct) calendar on my first machine (call it A) and imported it to my calendar on my second machine (call it B). This looked OK initially, but now I find that any new events posted in A's iCal won't appear in B's, and worse than that, I keep getting a dialog opening on machine B which says "This sync requires further attention. You might be syncing for the first time or your sync information might have been reset. Select an action". The actions are to merge all data, replace data on this machine from dotMac, replace data on dotMac from this machine. Clearly I would not want to do the third action, but I have tried the other two, but after a few minutes the dialog box just comes back. It looks like I need to delete all the iCal sync information on B and start again, but I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help?

dotMac support fixed this for me, with a combination of resets, explained in

  • Cannot sync anymore without Photoshop opening first; stuck in a loop

    I can no longer sync my iphone without Adobe Photoshop opening first and then some message from Adobe Downloader. I seem to be stuck in a loop that consistently keeps synching over and over and I cannot reach itunes anymore without getting an error message that it lost connections with the iphone. How do I stop this looping? How do I stop PHotoshop from opening first? I'm about to throw out this iphone. I just upgraded to 2.2.1 but I was lucky I was able to do that. Somehow Photoshop shut it's ugly self off.

    This happens to me everytime too. I have downloaded Photoshop again to fix the corrupt files, but it didn't help. So now when I connect my phone, and Photoshop opens, I just click on the iTunes icon on my desktop. To upload any pics I have, I choose another option to upload them. Then go to Photoshop, get pics, and look for files on my computer. Adobe will stay open and will not allow me to cancel or close. Then I have to do ctl, alt, del. Apparently this is an issue with Adobe. Hope this helps.....

  • After sync, iPad resyncs (sort of) 10 or more times, stuck in a loop

    So, this has been annoying me for ages. I've got several devices, had several iPhones and the procedure shold be:
    1) connect to laptop
    2) iTunes syncs device
    3) iTunes says it's done syncing
    4) device goes back to home (or lock) screen
    With my iPad, after iTunes says it's done syncing, it gets stuck in a loop, sometimes for minutes at end, where the apple icon plus wait spinner comes up again and again with the sound that normally occurs when you first connect. This *can't be right*. So how exactly can I fix it? FWIW, I am completely up-to-date with OS updates.
    Any thoughts?

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • IPod Touch 4g stuck in a loop

    Ipod Touch 4g stuck in infinite loop?
    I accidentally left my iPod touch 4g on all night on an alarm clock app. When I woke up it was stuck on a loop where it goes to the lock screen for 2 seconds and then back to a black screen with an apple on it for 6 seconds. I can not get it out of this loop this sequence flashes back and forth continually until the ipod runs out of battery. I can still sync the iPod and it is still recognized by the computer. I have tried restarting it and turning it off doesn't work. I have even restored the iPod's software and it still doesn't get out of this loop. Please help me!!

    Try the recovery mode as a last resort:

  • Stuck in digitizing loop

    Here we go again… sort of. I had a sync problem with my TX and eventually decided that the problem was with the handset and that I'd have to do a hard reset to fix it. Well, I've done the hard reset, but now when I try to power up, I get stuck in a loop with the digitizer program and its target. No matter how many times I touch the target in its three positions, the stupid little program just keeps going round and never finishes, it never lets me past that stage. A couple of years ago I had a digitizer drift problem and got stuck in the same situation with the digitizer targets going round and round, but I was able to get out of it by performing a soft reset. Not even that works now. How the heck do I get out of the stupid target loop??!! I can't even perform a sync. 
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    You can read this sticky thread located at the top of the hardware board for many different things to try. It's called "resolving digitizer issues."

  • How to recover ALOM Main Flash (ReFlash EPROM) ? -- ALOM stuck in a loop

    Hello,
    I had an issue while flashing the ALOM Main Flash of a Sun Fire v210.
    Now the ALOM boot is stuck in a loop trying to load the main ALOM image.
    As a result the ALOM Main Flash is broken but I can still access the
    ALOM Boot Menu. I can also boot Solaris with the Jumper on FP2 or FP3
    but it does not recognize the SC anymore.
    Is there a way to recover it from Solaris and/or using the
    "f - Wait for flash download from host" from ALOM boot menu ?

    I don't have any additional advice to offer other than asking that you to try the flash-update all over again,
    one more time, as if it were the beginning again.Yes but how because the SC is not discovered anymore by Solaris :
    "rmclomv: WARNING: DP_GET_SDP_VERSION failed, ret=4"
    "The SC hardware could not be initialized."
    Can you try to flash the mainalomfw ? Your log contained only the flash of the alombootfw !
    /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm download alommainfw
    I guess jumper JP2 allows to recover from a failed flash by selecting the un-touched half the PROM.It does not work as the SC is not responding anymore to Solaris

    It's a pitty that obtaining OBP/ALOM updates requires a service contract. I got a V210 recently.
    Unfortunately both OBP and ALOM are the intial release 4.8.2 / 1.0.I agree but it's probably also because you need support in case it fails ;-)
    Thanks for your answers!

  • IMac froze, rebooted but finder stuck in crash loop...

    I have an iMac 2007 running Mavericks. Recently it has started occasionally freezing where my mouse still moves around the screen but everything on the desktop is completely frozen. After holding the on/off switch to reboot it usually comes back on and opens the folders/programs that were already in use and all is well.
    However, today was different....it froze while I was using Safari....so I held the on/off switch as usual to reboot and the usual pop-ups appeared, asking me to re-open programs etc. However, since then I can't get finder to open...I have a constant flashing message saying "Last time you opened finder, it unexpectedly quit while re-opening windows. do you want to try to re-open windows again. - It gives 2 options 'don't reopen and re-open'....but the box is continually flashing very second as though it is stuck in a loop....doesn't matter what I try to press, it does the same thing over and over. It means I can access anything on my dock but cannot see my desktop files or any other files on the hard drive. I haven't done a time machine backup for a long time so wary of my next move. Ironically, I just bought a new drive for time machine and this happened before I got the chance to do the backup!!! Typical.
    Other useful info may be that I think I only have around 3gb of free memory space on my hard drive right now.
    I am on version 10.9.4 of Mavericks and there is a software update available.....should I try to do the software update to see if it irons this problem out or is there anyway I can backup my hard drive first or any other way of accessing my hard drive/desktop files before I do anything?
    I have seen this problem related to Google Drive before but I don't use that...unless it is installed somewhere on my system without me knowing and still causing the problem?
    Any help greatly appreciated....
    Thanks

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste topost the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Yo, Apple SysAdmins!!!! iTunes stuck in forever loop.

    Answer your pagers. Answer your phones. Pay attention to the ASAP emails from the systems. iTunes Terms & Conditions page is stuck in a loop. Here I am, trying to spend money, and the system is hosed.
    This is the one part of Apple support I find very underwhelming - that it's not possible to get in touch with Apple when it's very obvious there's a serious system problem. FAQs are irrelevant at this point.

    Should have made this more clear....
    Apple, the problem is on YOUR SIDE! It's a problem with Apple servers, not with anything on our side, not with OSX, unless, of course, the Apple servers are running OSX, not with our computers.
    It's your problem. The longer it is broken, the less money comes into iTunes. So now you have iTunes customers annoyed. Soon you'll have iTunes developers annoyed.
    Guess I'll go over to hulu.

  • ICloud accidentally set-up with erroneous email acct. How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop...

    Hi Apple friends! Here's my frustrating situation. When I got the new computer (2012 Macbook Pro), I tried to set up iCloud but accidentally input an erroneous email acct. I cannot access iClod because the email was accidentally input as "[email protected]", not "[email protected]". How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop, and not only cannot use iCloud, but I keep getting messages popping up to register my iCloud with a non-existent email...
    Help?
    Sincerely,
    Cole
    [email protected]

    Have you tried to go into System Preferences > iCloud and entering the correct information there? You will first have to "sign out" of the wrong account and then log in with the correct information.
    If that does not work you should direct follow up to the iCloud for Mac forum.

  • All-In-One C4780 screen is stuck on a loop. How can I hard reset the printer?

    I have a C4780 and am running Windows 7. I have had the printer for 2 years and never had a problem until recently. I have been unable to print for months because the touch screen on the printer is stuck in a loop. I first noticed the problem because I could hear random beeping and printer movement from the other room. It was doing it all on it's own. There were no changes to the computers, wireless or anything. I had just used it 2 weeks prior to print a passport photo and it worked fine.
    It thinks I am trying to print from a memory card and asks me to insert the card. Then it thinks I am trying to print a passport photo. Then it thinks I am scanning and asks me to place the photo face down. (etc, etc) If I try to hit cancel on any of the screens, it moves on to a different task it thinks I want done. If I try to follow through with the task it wants to do, it cancels it on it's own and moves on to another task. It will also move through the screens and tasks without me around. It moves so quickly through the screens that when I do try to get to a certain screen, I sometimes can't, because the printer has taken off in a different direction of screens all on its own.
    All software is up to date.
    I have tried turning it off, unplugging it, waiting, plugging it back in, turning it on.
    I have tried unplugging it while it is on, waiting, plugging it in and turning it on.
    I tried a semi-full reset by pressing bottom left 4 times. It was actually really difficult because the printer kept changing screens randomly while I was doing it. I finally got it to do the reset. It got to the "now printing alignment page..." screen and then just moved on to the main screen. Never printed the page. Shortly after that it started doing the screen loop with wireless settings. And now it is back to doing a loop through all the screens again. 
    It seems to be pushing buttons on its own.
    Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix this? Is there a way to do a hard-reset on this printer? Restore it to factory settings? Or doing you think there is something physically wrong with the touch screen where it is actually pressing buttons on it's own?

    I'm having the same problem, including paper running through the printer randomly. I believe I completed a semi-full reset that (so far) has stopped the paper going through the printer. And, the random changes on the touch screen seem to have stopped too. But, the touch screen still lights up and goes dark randomly, whcih leads me to believe that all is still not well.
    I too would like to try and hard reset if one is possible on this machine.

  • Firefox update is constantly failing and is stuck in a loop. I don't know how to bypass this. Help

    When I start firefox, it automatically tries to install an update. This fails and it repeats, getting stuck in a loop which I can not get out of. Consequently, I am unable to open firefox and use the internet on this program. I have clicked ok, closed the dialogue box and ended the program using the task manager. None of these have worked. I prefer using firefox to other browsers but have had to return to internet explorer for the time being.
    Do I need to uninstall and reinstall firefox or is there another option?
