Syncing material from my iCal and Address Book to Exchange

My situation: I keep 90% of my life in iCal and Address book, because I love their overall integration. My assistant is a Windoze user and we have an exchange server at work.
I have both Exchange sync and MobileMe sync set up on my phone and both work well. That is, I have material from both my Mac (via MobileMe) and the Exchange server (via the iPhone) on the iPhone. Very cool.
However, entries from my iCal/Address Book do not appear to make its way through the "Cloud" to my account on the Exchange server, where my assistant could see them. This is a bummer, as I want her to be able to see when I'm free to meet, get my contacts' addresses, etc. But, I'm not willing to go over the Entourage full time because it dislike it strongly.
Any hints as to how to make this work?
Thanks.

Not much you can do then. There are rumors that Address Book and iCal will support ActiveSync in Snow Leopard but for now the only desktop based Exchange client for the Mac is Entourage.
If you set up Entourage to sync with AB/iCal you can just leave Entourage open in the background. It will sync with both the programs you like and the server.

Syncing issues with 3GS ical and address book

I have been using Entrourage 2008 with success for a good few months - had a few issues to start with but thought I'd cracked it! However, I have now found that when I syn my 3gs I have to ensure that I tick replace information in the itunes sync before I sync. If I don't then I get hundreds upon hundreds of duplicate entries in calendar and .. any new contact details entered onto the iphone are wiped out this way - so how can I sync with combining the information without bringing back duplicates to the calender. Please help! Driving me batty!

The other thing I have a problem with is iCal. Even though I have successfully synced the iphone with iCal - there is 'nothing' in the iCal calendar at all!! But it all shows exactly right on the iphone!! It appears to be drawing the sync via iCal taking it from Entrouage - must be! .. there are no entries at all in iCal and only one Calendar called Entrougage. Completely confused!! Thought Google Calendar may be of better help so I have just tried that and can't import directly from Entrouage only from iCal and of course it tells me that there is nothing in iCal... Uuummm ????

How to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book, how to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book

I have a Galaxy S2, gmail account, hotmail account and want to know the best way to be able to sync calendar and contacts from the Galaxy S2 with iCal and Address Book. I want to be able to make changes on any device and be able to sync the changes. Hotmail is my main email account and would prefer to use tha account but I know that the Galaxy prefers Google. Any ideas?

You have several ways to sync your phone to a mac.
You can use Samsung Kies for mac. You can download it here.
You can also use Google for it. Open Adress Book, click Adress Book on the left top of the screen, click Prefferences and open the Accounts tab. You'll see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox, click it, enter you mail and password and you are good to go.
On iCal go to Preferences (top left, click iCal to see it), open the Accounts Tab, you'll see a blank list on the left, at the bottom of it there is a "+" sign, click on it and select Google on the Account Type dropdown list, enter your account details and you are done.
Third way to do it is by using third party software such as SyncMate.
Hope any of these alternatives solve your problem!
(The iCal and Address Book instructions are for Snow Leopard, but it should be almost the same on Lion)

Transferring iCal and Address Book from iPod

I had a lot of trouble installing Leopard to the point where I had to backup my user folder, erase the hard drive and then install Leopard, and re-copy my files back onto the computer. Either there was a special way to backup iCal and Address Book files or it just didn't, but now I am without either. However, thankfully, I had backed up my iPod before I did the erase. Is there a way I can get the Address Book and iCal files off of my iPod? Also, to sync my files beforehand, I put on the automatic sync via iTunes. Will this be problematic when I first plug in my iPod in Leopard? Thanks so much.

I have a month-old archived version of my AddressBook, but today my entire rolodex vanished when the program froze and I force quit. I have a much more recent update on my ipod and have made significant additions/editions in the past month. Can I retrieve all that data from my iPod??

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm V

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

Deleted sync framework, now ical and address book don't work

In an attempt to get rid of all the isync and .mac things on my mac I deleted some sync files that I need. I deleted the sync framework and sync services out of my system/library folder. Now ical and address book won't open. The crash log says it needs the syncservices framework and privateframework. Could somebody help me out as I obviously need those programs. I tried copying those file from my g4 imac to my intel but that didn't work. I refuse to reinstall the system again. (I make lots of mistakes, but I gotta learn, right?) Help is appreciated. Thanks

ProwessLegacy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Based on your description, if you refuse to reinstall the system again, may I suggest an Archive and Install as an alternative. It can preserve user and network settings with minimal disruption to your current installation.
You will have to reapply subsequent updates but it will be less of hassle than digging around for replacements for unknown missing components.
;~)

Why has apple taken ical and address book sync away on mavericks

why has Apple taken the ical and address book sync option away from itunes iphone info tab on the new OS Mavericks ???? Absolutley insane !!!!

Independent of iCloud, here are a couple more options:
1) You could sync with Google
2) You could set up OS X Server ($19.99 download on the Mac App Store) and set up a CalDAV server and a CardDAV server on your local network, and use that to sync. A few articles have been written on that, Google for some of those terms and you should find a walkthrough.
What you CANNOT do is a tethered sync via iTunes. Given it was removed, I highly doubt it's coming back.

Syncing to a new computer (and keeping iCal and Address Book info intact)

Well, after a few years my old iMac G5 finally died. Fortunately, I was able to grab all of the information off the hard drive and load it onto an external. I have a new iMac and I'm pretty happy.
However, I also have an 64GB iPod Touch that is currently synced to the computer that just died. Now, I want to sync this iPod to my new computer. Now, I have all of my music, photos, and apps and such on my new computer so I'm not trying to pull that off of my iPod. What I'm more concerned about is my iCal and Address Book. I use both often and have a lot of information in them. My new computer has none of this information.
So, what do I need to do sync my iPod with my new computer without losing my iCal and Address Book info? I still have access to the data on my old hard drive, but not the computer itself (if that helps). Hopefully I can get some help soon because I really want to try out OS4...
(Also, I want to make sure that I transferred my Apps correctly. I moved the files I found from my old iTunes folder onto my new iTunes. They seem to show up okay and have received updates but I wanted to make sure that when these apps synced to the iPod again that they would work okay. I'm most concerned about purchased apps and apps that have saved data like Plants Vs. Zombies).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod will be erased during the first sync.
Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Can't get iCal and Address Book to sync properly

I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Since then, I can't get iCal and Address book to sync properly with Entourage 2008 (I did set all three sync criteria in Entourage preferences). None of Entourage's events go into iCal (iCal is blank) and the Address Book has 10 times as many names as Entourage. Everything in Entourage 2008 is correct and everything in iCal and Address Book is essentially wrong.
Is there some way for me to erase everything in Address Book and iCal and start the sync between them and Entourage from scratch? Ultimately, I am trying to get Entourage to sync with my new Blackberry, which it does through iCal and Address Book using Missing Sync. I can't make this happen until information is flowing properly from Entourage to iCal and Address Book.
Thank you!

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA IN ENTOURAGE.
You can delete everything in iCal by deleting the calendar (Entourage or Personal or temp or whatever Calendar is there). You can delete everything in Address book either by highlighting all the contacts and hitting delete or by deleting the Address Book folder in Address Book.
The key in getting them to sync properly with Entourage is deleting all the preferences in your Library folder under <your user>. Delete anything with Microsoft Entourage in it. I also deleted iCal preferences and Address Book Preferences.
I also found it necessary to go to the Office folder and delete the sync services folder.
Also go to Entourage sync services and turn OFF syncing with iCal and Address Book. Exit Entourage.
Go to your application folder, isync - reset sync history (button at bottom of screen).
Then bring up Entourage, sync services, and reactivate syncing with iCal and Address Book.
Everything should work. I have been struggling with this the last week or two. I've had innumerable exchanges with MS who have said anything with syncing is not their problem it's an apple application. Through these discussion boards I pieced together all of the elements above. But be sure to back up anything you want to keep before you do any of this.
It should work. It did for me (at least last night and all day today). Good luck.

New phone does everything but sync iCal and Address Book

I have Leopard on my MacBook Pro; my new iPhone works fine - except for sync of iCal and Address Book. iTunes behaves as if it is syncing; but then there is nothing on the phone.
I've scanned the other sync-related messages, and nothing suggested there has helped (restarting both devices; clearing the iSync cache; etc.). I called Apple, and a nice young man walked me through many possibilities, ultimately suggesting I archive & reinstall Leopard. (He assured me it was like starting from scratch, and I'd have to reinstall my apps; of course that is not the case.) I did that; it didn't help.
Sync does work with a new user I created; but I can't figure out how to get my iCal and Address Book files over there.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Sorry, missed it in the previous post.
Couple of more items.
Export all contacts from address book. vcards would work.
Delete all contacts from address book.
Quit out of address book.
Open finder and go to your home directory/library/preferences.
Drag the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file to your desktop.
Open isync preferences and reset sync history.
Open address book back up and enter a test contact into address book.
Connect the iphone to the computer and try just syncing contacts replacing contacts on iphone.
If this works, import all your contacts back into address book and sync back to iphone.
Hope this helps.

ICal and Address Book have stopped syncing

For some reason, iCal and Address Book have stopped syncing between my MacBook and my iPhone. They had been syncing with iCloud but I noticed that some things aren't being updated. My photos are still being synced via Photo Stream just fine.
One other issue, when i go into System Preferences on my MacBook and click on iCloud, it wants my Apple ID password. But when I enter it, the spinning disks spins indefinetly. Doesn't connect. Then when I hit escape, it asks me if I want to delete my contacts or delete them from my Mac. (Yep I'm on the internet.)
I have also gone into Address Book prefs>Accounts and unclicked "Enable this account". When I do, some of my contacts dissappear and they reappear when I re-check it. So it seems like it is still seeing iCloud.
In iTunes I have checked Sync Contacts and Sync Calendars. I got a pop-up dialog box telling me that I didn't need to do that because iCloud wasn handling the Sync. But I checked them anyway. And I can't get them to sync on normal iTunes manual sync.
Any thoughts? I don't mess with iCloud often enough to know what should be happening. Thanks!

Not sure why, but now I have two of everything. GREATTTTTTT.

Syncing iPhone to iCal and Address Book and vice versa do not work

I am a 6 year Mac user and a 1 1/2 year iPhone user. What I am about to tell you should have been addressed long ago. When I sync my iPhone to my iMac only the applications and music sync. Neither data from the iCal or Address Book sync either way. I used to be able to sync appointments from my original iPhone to iCal, but my 3G phone does not sync at all. Could you tell me where to turn or what to do. I think I need to fix it.
And, how do I change the calendars on the iPhoen. All events are on the same calendar and I can't figure out how to specify a calendar for an event. You would think I would know this by now, but I don't......Thanks so much

If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry.

How to restore iCal and Address Book from my iPod mini.

I used to back-up my iCal and Address Book to both my Nokia phone and my iPod mini twice a day. then over Christmas my laptop hard drive and my phone both broke within 2 days of each other. Ouch! My only copy of my addresses and diary are now on the iPod. I could spend days reading the data and type it into to computer manually, but there has to be a way to do it automatically. *Mustn't there?*

Similar problem here,
