Syncing "new mobileme" calendar via iTunes

Hi, I'm using the "old" MobileMe calendar on a Mac (10.6.6) & syncing this via iTunes with an iPhone (4.2.1). The Mac syncs with the web-based MobileMe, so that I can view my calendar from computers at work. I sync my iPhone via iTunes because I do extensive travelling where neither the Mac nor the iPhone have internet access. The iTunes sync allows them to keep the calendars in sync with each other.
Now, I'm wondering how this would work if I moved to the "new" MobileMe calendar. I understand that the "master" copy of the calendar no longer resides on the Mac, but in the MobileMe cloud. Can the iPhone still sync via iTunes & a local cable, or is it forced to sync wirelessly via MobileMe?
I can find no information on this anywhere & I'm not game to experiment because once I switch to the "new" MobileMe calendar, there's no way to return to the "old" MobileMe calendar.
Thanks in advance.

Ok I am looking at old ipad 2 in mavericks and latest itunes on my pro and then this air on my new macbook pro. First the old ipad (all iOS7) as with all music, video, tv, books, podcasts option to toggle sync, and do all kinds of syncing.
Ipad air, I notice this:
Everything but music allows same sycning in my air (and works) But music says Itunes Match on (which I do use on all devices even old ipad 2) but just to make sure I turned off matching on ipad and the macbook pro itunes but it still says what you see above and does not allow me to toggl syn lists within itunes like I can for tV, video, podcasts ect. What gives??

How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
Any help is welcome.
Iris
P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

Mac OS X 10.6.5 fixes sync issue after upgrading to new MobileMe calendar

The issue that prevented iSync from 'seeing' calendars after upgrading to the new MobileMe Calendar has been fixed in iSync 3.1.2, part of the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update.

Appointments made on my phone are now synced to the local calendar. How do I get these in the cloud and synced with my other devices (macbook and ipod touch)?
Unfortunately, this is the way it works now. I asked Apple about this and got the following response:
+"Events from CalDAV calendars can be synced via iSync to a phone, but events can only be created on local calendars. This is as designed."+
I haven't tried it yet, but I presume you drag events from the local calendar to the MobileMe calendar, but I don't know how this would handle duplicates.

Restoring lost calendar using TM with new MobileMe calendar sync enabled

I have several Macs set to sync my calendars using the new MobileMe calendar.
I accidentally deleted an entire calendar, and it has now been deleted from all computers as well as MobileMe.
I have a Time Machine backup of one of the computers.
Can I simply restore ~/Library/Calendars from the TM backup and have everything sync through MobileMe properly again?
I know the procedure for backing up calendars has changed for people using the new MM calendar, and am afraid that change may also break the old TM restore procedure for iCal...

BusyMac has all the info you need about this and it isn't great news.

Upgraded to new MobileMe Calendar and now very slow updates

System:
iPhone 3G, iOS 4.1
Mac: 10.6.4
"Upgraded" to the new MobileMe Calendar.
Now BusyCal, iCal, MobileMe and iPhone do not sync quickly (sometimes takes 30 minutes for iPhone or more). Sometimes I need to launch iCal to get MobileMe to update. On the iPhone need to leave on for a long time or turn on and off.
I think I've gone through all the conversion steps and FAQs: Apple's, MobileMe, Mac, iPhone and BusyCal.
Maybe I was just spoiled with iPhone via Airport.
Any comments/suggestions?
Thank you.

I'm seeing that problem as well and I can't figure out what why it's slower. I figured it's a bug so I reported the problem at Apple's iTunes Feedback page.
On the other hand, iTunes 9 converts MP3s to AAC format at least twice as fast as iTunes 8 did, which is a very welcome improvement.

Error messages after new MobileMe Calendar upgrade. Solved?

Quick rundown of what I've been through and how I have solved my problem.
I have a MacBook running 10.5.6 and I also have Bento 3. Recently Bento (Filemaker) told me that I would have to complete a few steps before upgrading to the new MobileMe calendar. So I followed the steps exactly. (URL: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7846/~/setting-up-bento-for-th e-new-mobileme-calendar)
After completing the steps. I proceeded to upgrade to the new calendar. Upgraded in less than a minute and then after opening up iCal on my mac & importing my calendars, thats when things started to go wrong. I kept getting error messages on almost every even I have ever created. I could barely even quit iCal due to all the error messages. Also, many of my events werent there after importing and the progress wheel kept spinning. Complete DISASTER! (*Luckily, I made plenty of backups before doing any of this so I was safe*) But Still I had NO iCal!
I searched and searched and could not find a complete solution. So what I did was the following and so far I believe it could be the solution to all of you guys's problems.
I followed these instructions on this website (URL: http://answers.makeitwork.com/how-to-reset-ical-on-your-mac-or-how-to-clean-up-y our-ical/) **I followed these exactly**
They are below:
+Export any Calendars you wish to retain after you reset by clicking on the Calendar you wish to retain and go to File > Export… > Export…+
+Repeat the above process for every Calendar you wish to keep. (Make sure you remember where you saved them)+
+Quit out of iCal+
+Go to Finder and click on your Home icon to display the Library folder.+
+Open that folder+
+Open the Calendars folder in the subsequent window+
+Delete all the contents within that folder+
+NOTE: If you open iCal at this point, it will initially appear that you cleared everything. Within minutes, however, everything will come back.+
+Go to your Utilities folder and open the Terminal application+
+Enter the following command: rm -rf ~/Library/{Caches,Caches/Metadata,Preferences,Application\ Support}/iCal+
+Exit out of Terminal+
+Open iCal and…Voila! Brand new iCal!+
But that did not completely work. So before doing this again, I went to my iPhone and quit syncing calendars on my mobile me account. And chose to ERASE every calendar on my iPhone.
After doing that and repeating the process above, I opened up iCal and boom, it worked. Then after I had the calendars setup the way I wanted on my MacBook, I proceeded to go to Preferences>MobileMe>Sync> and then chose to sync
I then went to Me.com and checked to see if the calendar was operable and it was 100%. I could do everything like before. Then I went back to my iPhone and just turned Calendar syncing back on in my mobileme preferences.
This has solved all my problems 100%. Hope this helps someone. Just remember that as long as you created a backup of your Calendar you should be safe.

Well... seems I didn't have any answer on this. I fiddled a bit more but I have to say that I really came to wits' end at this stage. A couple of observations though:
* I don't really understand this notion of a keyboard issue. My keyboard and its layout work properly but I will not be able to login regardless of login through GDM, KDM or Slim. Yet it's worth noting that in the case of GDM and SLIM the X server starts; I see the graphical interface, I click, etc. but when I type the trouble starts.
* I tried to check my xsessions-errors file. The file is really big under a frame buffer, and it wasn't clear to me, but I found strange that the log was reporting all sorts of attempts to start KDE. I don't exactly know what's going on.
If anybody has any clue, let me know... It's becoming very frustrating.
Thanks!

All entries duplicated after update to new MobileMe Calendar

Since updating to the new MobileMe Calendar, all entries in my local calendars (those that appear on both my desktop and my laptop) have every entry duplicated. Each entry that was there before the upgrade is still there and it is overlaid by an identical entry at the exact same times and with the exact same text. The calendar that appears in MobileMe does not have these duplicates. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have a solution to remove all the duplicates?

John,
I think I'm in over my head. Yesterday I was prompted to download and install the newest software for my iPhone 4. During the course of the install, I was asked if I wanted to use iCloud as my backup destination, and I answered "yes". Later I was also asked if I wanted to set up a MobileMe account, to facilitate being able to use "Find My Phone". I answered "yes" to that also. (I'm so easy!)
I finished the install and then last night I plugged my phone into the computer to sync and charge, as I always do. It was this morning that I noticed that all the entried in my Calendar (on the phone) were duplicated. I didn't have time to deal with it right away, and while I was at work, I entered a few appointments into my phone. After work, I noticed that not only were the entries on my phone duplicated, but the appointments entered on to my phone this morning, weren't appearing on iCal (on my computer).
My Calendar appointments are crucial to my business, and I need to be able to trust that what I enter on my phone will also show up on my computer, and vice versa. That's where I'm trying to go, and frankly, I don't really understand iCloud or MobileMe, and probably shouldn't have tried to upgrade without more knowledge.
I certainly appreciate the time and patience you've offered me, but I don't want to use your whole day. Worse comes to worst, I can always make an appointment at my local Apple Store. You've been very generous, and I appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Nela

New mobileme calendar

I upgraded to the new mobileme calendar and now when I open ical I have 2 calendar groups. 1 group called "on my mac" and one for "mobileme". I don't understand why there are 2. Before I had just 1 calendar on iCal and it was automatically synced with mobileme. Now when I add an event am I supposed to add to mobileme or "on my mac" or both? Anyone know how this is supposed to work?

Greetings,
You may want to go to the New Calendar section on the MobileMe support page and review it's contents. It has good information on the function of the New Calendar: http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/
The "On My Mac" section are local calendars that exist only on the computer.
__Add calendars here if you want them to only be visible on this specific Mac
The "MobileMe Account" section are server based calendars that appear on MobileMe, your computer, and any other computer/device to which you add your MobileMe account (this takes the place of syncing the calendar as the calendar simply appears on all these devices).
__Add / make changes to Calendars listed here to see the changes appear wherever this MobileMe account is used.
If you are seeing the same calendars listed under both sections follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505
I deleted all my "On My Mac" calendars and only have the ones under the MobileMe category.
Hope that helps.

ICal lost events after upgrading to the New Mobileme Calendar

After updating to the New MobileMe Calendar on my home computer, the iCal at work stopped syncing, i.e. none of the events show up.
I tried quitting iCal, stopped syncing, and synced again to replace data on work computer, but didn't work.
MobileMe calendar has all the data intact. iCal at home seems to load all the events fine. (10.6.6 on iMac, both at home and work.)
Please provide advice. Thanks!

An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

My ipod touch is not syncing new music from my itunes.

my ipod touch is not syncing new musid from my itunes. when i click on my ipod it only shows one song.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

I have synced my iPhone 5s via iTunes however, my album artwork is not appearing on my phone. Please help

Hi
Typically these are added toy our iPhone by synching with iTunes and that is the only way to "unsych" them.
In your Itunes tab for photos you can uncheck the albums you do not wanted synced to your iPhone. Then resynch your computer and your iPhone and they will not be added to your iPhone.
Cheers

Sync a CALDAV Calender via iTunes with iPodTouch

Hi there,
i have a nice Issue, i have a Calender via CALDAV in iCal, id tried to sync em via iTunes to my iPodTouch but unfortunaly it wont apear.
I almost never use my iPod´s Wifi, so all Solutions with Apps are kinda useless for me.
So im thinking about, that there is maybe a way to create an other Calender (local) and read/write sync em with the caldav one.
The Target i aim is to have my iPod when i leave my home and can see my Schedules and edit them and new ones.
Does someone knows anything that i can do for a nice Workaround?
Best Regards and Thanks in Advance

Calendar Invitations Using iCal Synced with Google Calendar via Exchange

I have a very complicated system set up for syncing multiple calendars. I use CompanionLink to sync my work Lotus Notes calendar to iCal. I then sync my Google Calendar and my husband's Google Calendar to iCal via Exchange. I've recently added the iCal step as a way to get push notifications. That's the only reason I've gone to iCal as I have CalenGoo on my iPhone and it's been working great up to now. However, the only notifications it can do are through email. I have 2 questions.
First - using the iCal program on the iPhone, I tried to invite attendees for a meeting. No invitations were sent. Is there something that has to be set up to make this happen? Also, is it supposed to be sending them through Google or through my own email (mobileme is the primary email account on this phone)?
Second - Is it possible to mark events as Private or Public? I don't want personal events to show up in my work calendar so that others can view them.
Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem with my ipad 2. Hope someone can help....
