Synching iCal with 10.5.8

Can't figure this one out. I've tried searching the forum but although there do seem to plenty of others with this problem none of the queries seem to have been resolved.
My Powermac and my intel macbook are both running Leopard and I've been using DotMac and then Mobile me for years.
Synching stopped working with iCal last autumn and I've had no success in fixing it. The Preferences accounts pane has gone blank and attempts to fill in my Mobile me account just give me "No Open Directory servers configured." Being a humble peasant I've got no idea what this means.
I presume this started when the upgrade became available but I can't use the iCal upgrade with Leopard and I cant upgrade to Snow leopard with my G5.
What's the Answer. Has Apple morphed into Microsoft?

Still no joy. It seems to be something to do with my G5 running 10.5.8
My Macbook seems to synch but nothing from or to my G5. Even doing a reset synch data on my G5 fails to make any impression on the Mobile me calendar. Is this a 10.5.8 thing?

All day events - synching ical with Symbian S60

I guess this must have come up before.....
I cannot find a way of synching all-day events on iCal with my E90. iSync will not sync iCal all-day events across to the E90, just seems to ignore them. I thought I'd be clever and enter all-days as memos on the E90. Fine when it syncs to iCal - they come across OK as all-days in iCal but, when I sync again, the memos get deleted from the E90. Most strange.

I have the same issue on all day events synced from Exchange. The items look fine in the day or month view.

Synching ical with coworker ical

Looking to synch my ical with my business partners. Help Please

Hey DorseyHolme,
Check out the following instructions, they'll go through how to use iCal with your business partners by publishing and subscribing:
Mac Basics: iCal (OS X Lion and earlier)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2513
Publish your calendar
To make your calendar available to others, choose Publish from the Calendar menu. In the resulting dialog, type a name for your calendar in the top field, choose to publish it on your own server from the "Publish on" pop-up menu, select any of the other options you want, and then click Publish.
When iCal finishes publishing, a dialog opens and displays the URL for your calendar—be sure to write this information down.
Subscribe to other calendars
You can use iCal to subscribe to someone's published calendar, such as a family member, your work team, or a publicly available iCal schedule.
If you have an iCloud account set up in iCal, you can choose to add the subscribed calendar to that account. You can then view the subscribed calendar in iCal as well as in the Calendar app on your iOS 5 or later devices that have been configured for iCloud. This works without having to resubscribe to the calendar.
In iCal, choose Calendar > Subscribe.
Enter the web address for the calendar you want to subscribe to, and then click Subscribe.
Type a name for the calendar in the Name field and choose a calendar color from the adjacent pop-up menu.
If you have an iCloud account, choose whether you want the calendar to be located only on your Mac or on your iCloud account. If you want to view a subscription calendar in iCal and in the Calendar app on devices with iOS 5 or later without resubscribing to the calendar, choose your iCloud account.
If you want to receive any reminders or attachments, or hear any alarms associated with the calendar, deselect the appropriate Remove checkboxes.
If you want iCal to update your copy of this calendar when changes to it are published on the Internet, choose the update frequency from the “Auto- refresh” pop-up menu.
Click OK.
The calendar you subscribed to appears in your Calendars pop-up list under the heading "Subscriptions." To make changes to the calendar, click Calendars, select the calendar, and then choose Edit > Get Info.Notes
Subscriptions that you manually add on iOS devices will not push to iCloud; you need to subscribe to calendars using iCal on OS X to push those subscriptions to your other devices and computers.
icloud.com and Microsoft Outlook will not display subscribed calendars pushed to iCloud.
Find more information about using iCloud with calendar subscriptions.
All the best,
David

Synching ical with ipod

when I synch my ical with my ipod I can't get my "notes" for an event to show up on more then one line. I tend to have quite a few notes that would be nice to access. Is there some way to put "enters" into it so it's readable on my ipod?
Thanks!

I don't have Leopard yet so it can't be that. I can't get my notes feature to work right either so I can't even use that instead. Guess for now I'm stuck with the old paper printer option....

Can, and if so, how do you synch iCal with your Google calendar?

Am trying to synch my iCal information with Google Calendar. I can find information to get Google info into iCal but not synching iCal information with into Google.

You can sync to one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
That would have nothing to do with it it not recognizing the device.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Synch ical with handheld

I am trying to synch my ical with my palm handheld for the first time. For some reason some of the events on my handheld are transferred to the wrong day, usually the day prior to the actual event. It is not happening to all my events, just some. What can I do to fix this problem?

I think you probably need to check your time zone settings: make sure that both the mac and palm have the same zone set and pay particular attention to daylight savings.

Synching iCal with iPhone

Aargh! I am having a difficult time of this. I have changed calendars in iCal and want to update iPhones. When I go into the iPhone I see "All on My iPhone" and "MobileMe" calendars. The MobileMe calendars do not include subscriptions. I am hoping to see the holidays (trust me, I need to see the holidays I just tried to convince a contractor to show up to work on Saturday not realizing it was July 4th). Anyway, at first look I see the old calendars on the iPhone under the All on my... section. How do I get rid of them and why are they there. Isn't MobileMe synching everything? They are set up to synch with MobileMe.
I'll post in the other forum but thought I would mention that I am having a similar issue with Address Book. Right now every contact is doubled on the iPhone. I started deleting duplicates but found I was deleting them from MobileMe and my workstation. Aargh!

Donald,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off the Calendar, when prompted delete data, wait two minutes turn Calendar back on, and when asked merge the data. Wait patiently, and hopefully you will be able to regain sync functions. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change.
Use the same procedure for Address Book Contacts.
I got this information from goodtwin315 in this thread.

To make entries in iCal that will synch with Google Calendar:
Deselect your calendar on the left bar, then click on your Google email link also in the left bar.
Now make your calendar entries in iCal and they will automatically synch with iGoogle Calendar.

What "left bar" are you referring to?

Synching iCal with iPhone calendar through iTunes on Snow Leopard

Hi,
I've seen some threads on in similar matters but none of them related to this problem:
I can't seem to sync my iPhone's calender and iCal throught iTunes. I CAN'T sync the two using iCloud, because I'm using Mac with Snow Leopard, which doesn't support iCloud.
I'm using iTunes 11.1.4, and when I go to the info tab on iTunes in order to sync the calenders, there are no options to choose. It simply says: "Your calenders are being synced with your iPhone over the air using iCloud, Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
I would rather not upgrade my OS unless I must. I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1.4 and iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4.
Thank you for your help!
Daniel

Hi danielshachar!
It sounds like the settings in your phone may be prompting iTunes to report that your contacts and calendars are being synced through iCloud. Use the information in the following article to adjust this setting so that you can sync your contacts and calendars through iTunes instead:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings

How can I synch iCal with iPhone when running Snow Leopard?

I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and I cannot upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion because I have an Intel Core Duo iMac.
I absolutely MUST be able to synch my desktop calendar with my iPhone. This is an essential function for my life - I cannot believe that Apple would make me buy an entirely new computer, just so that my desktop calendar sychs with my iPhone.
Can some please help me figure this out?
Thank you!!
-Paul

Maybe you might get more response in the MobileMe forum as it sounds like an issue with that to me and I don't use it so am unable to help in that area.
Hope you get it sorted out soon.

Synching iCal with Google Calendar

I hear that it is now (as of today) possible to do this, but I have no idea how to go about it. My own fiddling-around got me nowhere. Has anyone got it to work? If so, please post a step-by-step description of what you did. Thanks.

I just lost all recent updates to my iCal from the last days. Can this possibly happen ??? What can I do to restore iCal with the most recent updates?

Hello All, yesterday afternoon I just lost all recent updates to my iCal from the last days. How can this possibly happen ??? It may have occured after I chose the Refresh function after I had problems searching my iCal for a particular event. I think my iPhone was also not properly synched in the morning but I didn't pay it much attention and opened iCal on my MacBookAir instead.
How can I prevent this from happening again?
What can I do to restore iCal with the most recent updates?

Random glitch. It doesn't matter; if you didn't backup the data, then you can't recover the data.
In the future, for any 'important' data, back up that data regularly. Forward the 'important' text messages to your email. Trasnfer your photos & videos to your computer, etcetera.

I have just purchased a Macbook pro, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone, Ta

Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

How do you synch iCalendar with iCloud?

How do you synch iCalendar with iCloud?
I cannot get my father's Calendar data to transfer via iCloud to his iPad. His Mac is running 10.7.2, and the iPad is running OS 5.0.1 (I think, at least it is OS 5 for sure.) Everything else (Mail, Contacts, etc) is transferring, but not Calendar.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that both have calendar syncing enabled, also check that the calendars in iCal you are trying to sync are iCloud calendars and not on my mac calendars (click on the calendar button in the top left corner of iCal).

How to synch ical on ipad to mac

I am failing to synch ical on my mac with all the entries on ical on my ipad2. Anyone know what I can be doing wrong? I have ticked the box in itune to synch both calenders....

If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook. Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.
