Sync with Leopard ical

Reading the requirements for the new iCal/MobileMe app, it says that Snow Leopard is required.  Does that mean that other computer on my network need to be running SL to access/sync with the new format?  I've been reading the support articles resolving initial problems I had, most were just that I didn't read the directions close enough - but all is well on my MobileMe Calendar and my SL MacBook Pro Calendar.  But I have an older G5 on my home network, Leopard 10.5.8, which can't have iCal upgraded on it, but was wondering if any problems syncing it with MobileMe would happen.  I hope this will resolve the duplicates in iCal that have plagued my iPhone 3GS for a long time (once I sync it).
Now I wish there was an easy way of cleaning out my Address Book Contacts so what is synced is usable.  Between AOL, Entourage (now Outlook) and I presume Mail, every mail address added to my contacts (especially the ones added when you accept incoming images and it's added to the contact list) has been syncing to my iPhone - making it almost useless.  Many mail lists, etc., have been put into it and I don't want them on my iPhone.
Oh, and kudos to Apple Support for articles on the iCal changes that helped me resolve my problems.  My main iCal, like I said, is on my MBPro and was having problems but it's all fixed now.  Hope the other devices do as well.

iCal on Macs running Leopard cannot read the new MobileMe calendars until an additional process has been carried out, described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
As to Address Book: the entire contacts list will sync everywhere. You can't partially sync. The only way to remove the unwanted contacts is individual deletion, whereupon they will disappear from every device which is successfully syncing.

  • Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop if I put in an event on the ipod calendar?

    Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
    It will if I put it in on my desktop though.

    Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

  • My calendar "all from my Mac" on my iphone wont sync with my ical

    I have my iphone calender under "all from my mac" however it wont sync with my ical. I have noticed the only calender on my ical is from my icloud. Unfortunately all my calender enteires on my iphone are not under that. Wondering what the easiest way to sync this is.
    when I click hide calender and hide the "all from my mac" all my calender entries disappear.

    Try this:
    1. Make a backup ( a) Time Machine, b) Export > Archive iCal. Close iCal)
    2. In Finder hold down alt-Key while choosing "Go to..." menu
    3. Select Library
    4. In the folder Calendar delete the files
    Calendar Sync Changes
    Calendar Cache
    5. In the folder Preferences delete the files
    com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
    com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    com.apple.iCal.plist
    com.apple.iCalExternalSync.plist
    com.apple.syncserver.plist
    (not sure which one is the bad guy, but it did not hurt to erase all of them)
    6. Start iCal, it will update itself.

  • My iPhone calendar entries won't sync with my iCal using iTunes

    Hi,
    For some odd reason my iPhone calendar entries will not sync with my iCal using the sync feature in iTunes.
    The syncing of everything else seems to be working just fine but in the last couple of days ~ now the calendars won't sync.
    Entries that I've made in iCal sync alright to my iPhone but not the other way around.....
    Anyone out there got any suggestions???

    First make sure you are entering the events on your phone to your Mac calendar and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone.  If you are, and they still won't sync, try resetting the SyncServices folder on your mac, as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, then try syncing your calendar again.  (If you are prompted when syncing your calendar, choose Merge.)

  • Can I sync a Leopard iCal to a Tiger one?

    Have 10.5.2 at home; 10.4.11 at work.
    If I populate Leopard (home)'s iCal with To-Do's from Mail.app 3, then synch via .Mac, will iCal at work still on Tiger be able to read those To-Dos?
    And would I be able to synch in the opposite direction - from Tiger iCal via .Mac into Leopard iCal and hence Mail.app 3 ?
    TIA!

    Good question... I'm not sure. I guess it depends on how the todos are stored and synced. Unfortunately, I don't have a Tiger machine around anymore to try it out. Your best bet might be to back everything up and try it yourself

  • SE P1i can't sync with Leopard

    Hi all,
    I have downloaded the plugin for the Sony Ericsson P1i 1.07, and installed it. But my phone does not sync with my MacBook or iMac all the same. My OS is leopard 10.5.2 & my phone version is R9K009.
    What can I do? Please help me!
    Thank you!

    Chaps & chapettes.
    Sync´ing 10.5.2 with SE P1i finally works!!
    I´ve had the same problems for weeks like all of you out there ´it seems your phone stopped the connections´, both with the SE official plugin and the purchased plugin from www.novamedia.de
    The Germans at Novamedia did NOT give up, and the solution, today, is as simple as it is brilliant:
    Unpair your Mightymouse & turn it off.
    It is too Mighty for Leopard, and interfers with the sync.
    I disabled the mouse, turned it of physically & have sync´ed my updated firmware P1i the whole evening.
    Happy.
    Cheers from cool Dubai

  • ICal won't sync with iPad, iCal won't sync with iPad

    My iCal won't sync with my iPad. Anyone know why? The iPad takes on the iCal but the iCal won't take the iPad entries.

    Hello Squeegeefrog, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    You mention that iCal (or Calendar on OS X Yosemite) won't sync with your iPad. 
    Are you using iCloud Calendar? If so, the advice and  troubleshooting steps in these articles can help you sync the calendar on your Mac with your iPad using iCloud:

    thanks in advance

    Try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
    Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal on your Mac if the apps are launched.
    Launch the iSync application. Go to iSync preferences and select reset sync history. The reset sync history button may not become active to select for a few seconds.
    After you select reset sync history, restart your Mac and test if this resolves the problem.

  • TS4006 my iCal in my new MacBook Air doesn't sync with the iCal data in my iPad despite having it "checked" (ON) in the system preferences iCloud. what else do i have to do to activate the iCal and have sync with my iPad?

    Issue: iCal
    I can't sync the iCal in my new MacBook Air with the existing iCal in my iPad. I went to system preferences (settings) to iCloud and checked the iCal to enable it to sync to my existing iPad iCal. Still nothing happened. It's strange because i successfully synced my contacts doing the same thing. Is there anything I have to have my iCal activated in my new MacBook Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Ical on machine syncs with Lion ical server erratically

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem which is quite persistent and (even more annoying) even after dumping the respective ical - preferences: ical is supposed to get its content from an ical server (Lion Server)  but it shows very often the following message:
    The server responded with an error.The connection to account “xxx" failed because the network is unreachable.
    The network works properly, both wifi and ethernet connections are working. The funy thing is: On the macmini server itself there is no problem. Just the other machines in my LAN display this odd behaviour and stop syncing the calendar from time to time.
    has anyone an idea where to start to remidy this or is it a bug of the server itself.
    Thank you in advance
    Penta

    I don't have Panther available anymore so I'm shooting in the dark. You might try to stop syncing and then turn syncing back on (the idea is to break the connection and start new) Be sure to have a backup of anything you can't lose.
    You might also try trashing iSync preferences.

  • I can't get Reminders on my iPhone to sync with Mail & iCal

    I have a MacBookPro runing OSX 10.6.8.  I got an iPhone last summer, and am slowly ramping up all the features.  When I upgraded my iPhone to 5.0.1, I dicovered all the new toys.  My problem is I don't seem to be ablt to sync Reminders to my to do list on iCal and Mail, both of which sync to my iPhone.  What am I doing wrong?

    That's not a silly question at all!
    To upgrade your OS you will need to purchase the disks but first you need to know what your system supports. On your MacBook click the apple in the upper left corner and choose About This Mac from the drop down menu.

  • Why doesn't the iCal on my Mac Pro sync with the iCal on my iPhone?

    The iCal on my Mac Pro (Lion 10.7.3) and the iCal on my iPhone (iOS 5.1) don't sync - why?  Not very impressed with iCloud at the moment.

    You're looking on the wrong page, Anne.  Look at the top of that screen; you should see Summary, Info, Apps, Music, and a few other buttons up there. Click on the "Info" button. Then you'll find the options for synching calendars and contacts.

  • My iPhone 3GS version 4.3.5 will not sync with my ical.

    I've never had this problem before, but I recently switched to Lion and now my calendar will not sync anymore. please help. I've already tried syning my phone without the calendar box checked, and then syncing again with the calendar I want to sync checked. And replacing the calendar on the phone with the calendar on my computer, but nothing is working.

    Honestly I replaced the phone battery with a battery from the local market (I don't even know if its original or not) but it cost me around 50$, and it worked perfectly since then.
    so its either the battery is not compatible with IOS 4 or its simply dead!
    best of luck with yours...
