Synchronization of calendars on different devices

Has anyone else had a problem with the calendar and reminders not synchronizing on different devices? I make changes on my Mac Mini but they do not reflect on my MacBook Pro, iPad, or iPhone. If I make changes on any of the other three, they are all synchonized, but do not show up on my Mac Mini. Email and chat are good, but the others are not consistant.
Any ideas?

Assuming you are using iCloud, on the Mini, open Calendars.
Click the Calendars button on the top left of the window.
Make sure all the boxes are checked for the calenadars
you want to sync.
Also, under Preferences in Calendars, make sure the account
is enabled and has the correct Apple ID and refresh is set to
Push.

How do iCloud calendars work with different devices?

Hi
iCloud is driving me mad! All I want it to do is what it promised - keep several devices in sync, but it seems to either do nothing or spawn duplicates. Part of my problem is that I can't find anything that tells me exactly what it does with each device.
Here's my set up:
One Mac - MBPro 17" running iCal, Address Book and Mail (I've completely given up on trying to get Entourage 2008 to play nicely) on Lion
One PC - W7 Pro using Outlook - this is normally my main machine (sorry)
One iPad
One iPhone
Appointments are normally made either on the PC or the iPhone and then disseminated to the other devices. iPhone and iPad are normally synced and recharged to the PC, so sync quite happily with Outlook.
The odd one out is the Mac, which i am trying to get synced without lots of duplication.
Originally I set up iCloud on everything. So on all devices I ended up with 2 calendars - 'On this Device' and 'iCloud'. Why do I need two calendars? if I make a change to my device's calendar I just want iCloud's calendar to change and for it then to change all other devices! I really don't understand the logic of what is going on and this is why I am having problems. Am I supposed to turn visibility of iCloud calendar off everywhere so that it just does its stuff in the background? I presume so, otherwise every appointment is duplicated on every device.
I've now turned it off everywhere because i ended up with three or four calendars showing on every device and massive duplication problems. Then when I turned it off iCloud deleted all my historical information and left me with a blank calendar. Thanks Apple.
What's really missing from Apple's documentation is an explanation what is actually going on under the hood and therefore of the best strategy to adopt.
Should I let the PC and iPad/iPhone do their stuff without iCloud and just sync one device to iCloud and also sync the Mac to it. This would reduce the chances of lots of duplication.
Any guidance gratefully received.

Will I still get two calendars on outlook on the pc, because that caused lots of confusion last time?
I don't know about Outlook on PCs I'm afraid, so can't answer that question.
if I end up cut down to just one calendar on the ios devices, will that work off line?
Yes. All devices/computers cache copies of the calendars locally for offline use, then any changes are automatically uploaded next time you have an internet connection.

Hi, I would like to synchronize the calendar's items of my iPad Mini with my MacBook Pro. At today I can only do the reverse operation (from MacBook Pro to iPad Mini). Can you help me maybe with a little tutorial or something? Many Thanks.

About virtual channel in different device and/or different type channel

Hi all,
I am looking for a way to write to several analog channels at the same time. In my code, I didnt' pay much attention to that, I just have them placed in the the same frame in the flat sequence such that they might be started to write simultaneously. However, sometimes they might not working perfectly. I am reading something on DAQmx and I found that there is something call virtual channel so I have put more than 1 channel into a unit (called virtual cahnnel), so I can write something to it at the same time. Here are my question
1) what's the different between virtual channel and channel group? If I write a array of 3 elements to a channel group (consists of dev1/ao1, dev1/ao2 and dev1/ao5), am I writing to channel group or virtual channel?
2) can I bind different channels from different devices to form a virtual channel, e.g. dev0/ao0 dev1/ao0 dev2/ao0?
3) can I bind different type of channel to form a virtual channel, e.g. dev0/ao0, dev0/port0/line0?
4) last question is about synchronization on writing to a virtual channel (or channel group?) Last say I have a pulse train each pulse is separated in time by 1.2ms and total time is 122.4ms. The pulse train will be sent to dev0/ao3, and at 12ms after start send very first pulse of the train, I need to write two analog signal to dev1/ao1 and dev1/ao5. In my current code, create a flat sequence, start the task for sending the train in the first frame, put delay in second frame and delay for 12ms, write dev1/ao1 and dev1/ao5 in the third frame. For some times, this gives me acceptable timing but not always. I wonder how does it help to use virtual channel?
In the similar situtation, what about if instead of writing to two analog channel, I write to one analog channel and one digital channel?
Thanks.

1) virtual channel is created per task and contains a collection of settings such as a name, a physical channel, input terminal connections, the type of measurement or generation, and can include scaling information.. A virtual group is specific to digital IO and has to deal with the way you read/write data off/to the port
2) yes you can create a task with physical channels from multiple devices assuming they are comparable writes (ie all analog or all analog read, or all digital) but they will have the same channel characteristics (see answer above)
3) no you cannot create a task that handle an AO and a DO from with in the same task
4) if you created a task you are using a virtual channel. The only way to ensure timing is to use hardware timing (ie onboard sample clock of you DAQ card) otherwise the reads/writes are basically interrupts and you are at the mercy of the OS to service the interrupt request
if you need more information please repost with more questions, include your DAQ hardware, and any code pictures to give us a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish and how you are going about it

.Mac synchronization of calendars is affected by coming changes

Changes coming on October 19, 2007 will affect the synchronization of calendars via .Mac and computers using Mac OS 10.3.x through 10.4.x according to this announcement from Apple:
"Due to improvements being made to .Mac Sync on October 19, 2007, please note the following changes.
Mac OS X version 10.4 Tiger users:
To ensure uninterrupted service, you must be using Mac OS X version 10.4.10. To check which version you’re running, select About This Mac in the Apple menu. If you are not running version 10.4.10, click the Software Update button and install the update to 10.4.10.
Mac OS X version 10.3 Panther users:
To accommodate new enhancements, .Mac Sync will no longer support syncing of calendars between a Panther-based Mac and a Mac running Tiger or Leopard. Syncing calendars between Mac computers running Panther is unaffected.
These changes will help enable .Mac Sync to do more than ever."

It should, but apparently will not in your specific case.
To address this issue, you should reset the framework by launching iSync, opening the Preferences… dialog, pressing the Reset Sync History… button at the bottom of the dialog and follow the instructions which appear.
This will 'zero' your truth database and force an initial slow synchronization of all of the applications, devices and servers in your pool, eliminating this error message and pulling all records to—and pushing them from—all of your synchronization clients.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

I have a question about the calendar on the ipad2. I have multiple calendars in different colors. Some of the events are filled in with color. Others are just listed with a colored dot in front of the event. Any ideas why events ar showing up differently?

I have an ipad2 and my question is about the calendar. I set up multiple calendars with different colors. Some of the events show up in filled color. Others only show with a colored dot in front of the event. I can't figure out why some show up one way and others show up differently? Any thoughts?

On mine the ones that show on a coloured background are all-day events, the ones with dots and just timed events.

Installing the program in 2 different devices

Hi!
My name is Farbod Azima and Im a student of NYFA.
I love Photoshop and all of Adobe's creative programs! They are all amazing!
I plan to purchase the Creative Suite after I am done with the Creative Cloud program which I have to pay monthly for.
My question is simple:
Once I purchase the Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop that I like using, Will I be able to install it on my primary PC desktop And my Windows8 Surface PRO Tablet?
I would really like to have all my Adobe programes installed in both devices so I can work on stuff on-the-go when im not around my PC desktop by using my Windows8 Tablet.
Will I be able to do this?
I can understand if I cannot use both devices at the same time, which I dont plan to anyways since I'll only be using my Windows8 Tablet when im away from my Desktop.
But I would HATE to have to buy the Creative Suite TWICE just to be able to use it on 2 Different Devices!

Question ANSWERED!
I found out you CAN have all Adobe programs you OWN on both devices at once.
If you do want to install it on a 3rd computer, you have to uninstall on one of the other 2 computers.
Which I find Fair.
Also I found out that if your harddrive CRASHES and you HAVE to re-install EVERYTHING, you can
contact Adobe customer serivce and they will help you re-install it fresh so you are NOT entirely F###ed.
This is Great! I Trust Adobe 100% now as a Company that cares for their customers and their saftey.
I totally will recommend more of my fellow filmmaking class mates to purchase Adobe products.

1 app, 3 devices, 1 iCloud - how can I run the same game on different devices?

My wife and I share one iTunes account and one iCloud account for 2 iPhone 5's and an iPad. Our home laptop is a PC running windows 7. We are not able to both play the same game (specifically Carcassone) at the same time on different devices which is frustrating, how can I make this happen? Do I need two separate accounts? Can I have two accounts with a PC? We don't want to sacrifice the photostream to get it though.
Thank you,
Jacob

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

How to prevent an encrypted backup from being restored to a different device?

If I force an employee to do an encrypted backup (which I can do with a configuration profile), and that employee is fired. We take back the company iphone, but they go and buy a personal one. They connect the new, personal iphone to itunes and do a restore of the encrypted backup (they know the password) and now they have all the work related stuff on their personal phones. Is there a way to prevent an encrypted back from being restored to a different device id.

We require encryption of our employee backups as well...and the problem you mention is a real one.....
If you use Exchange, you could disable Exchange Active Sync to prevent them from subsequently connecting to Exchange Server and getting new data with the new personal device....but you would still have the old data as part of the backup...the other issue is that we've found that the profile is part of the backup and if an employee leaves, even on good terms, if he wants to restore say, his music from the backup without the profile, it becomes quite awkward...the profile would have to be removed, ( which removes everything added with the profile, possible email and wi-fi), then the user could backup music etc with iTunes, then return the corporate phone to be salvaged or re-deployed...and later put his personal data back on another device without the profile...if there is a way around the issue you bring up I'd like to know of it as well. . Perhaps there is an MDM with functionality that would help here....that is one great strength of the Blackberry platform..all corporate data can be controlled from the BES server.

Linking different devices with the same Apple ID

I was wondering if there is a way to link different device to connect and push to each other within the same Apple ID. For example I have and iPad 2, iPhone 4 and MacBook Air. While my mom has an iPad, iPhone and uses our Mac desktop. My sister has her own iPod and so does my brother. We all use the same Apple ID to save money and make things easier. Is there any way to connect our own devices. It become inconvenient when games start downloading on my device or inappropriate songs I download go onto my sisters as she is 9. If there is no way to do this, would it be hard to ask for the ability for me (under the same Apple ID as my mom, brother and sister) to set it up so my devices push to each other. Meanwhile my mom could connect her device together? Thank you to anyone who helps in advance.

Up to 5 devices can share the same Apple-ID for iCloud and share / sync happily. You can selectively disable or enable components to sync or not, using the icloud controlpanel on Windows, the system preference pane in Lion or the settings->icloud in iOS5.
You just must ensure that all devices and machines run the compatible versions of OS and apps.
Macs : Lion 10.7.2 + iphoto latest
PCs : Vista / Win7 with Outlook, itunes 10.5 and icloud controlpanel
iDevices: iOS5
