TS3991 iCal won't synce with Mountain Lion & iPhone 4s

I can't get iCal to sync with Mountain Lion & iPhone 4s via iCloud. Is there a simple way to make this work?

Okay, did some comparing and it appears only ALL DAY events are displaying on the wrong day. Anything I have set with a specific time shows up on the correct day. Found a reference on the Internet that explains this.
Apparently, according to that source, the computer considers a day to START at 12:00 am, so an all day event displays on the computer on the correct day which begins at midnight. But the iPhone considers a day to END at 12:00 am so all day events are posted BEFORE midnight of the correct day, which is the wrong day.
What I don't understand is WHY Apple has the iPhone using different criteria than their computers? This "bug" apparently goes back to the original iPhone iOS. Why haven't they reprogrammed it by now?
I have an appointment with Apple for next week to have someone call me and I will discuss it with them. Hopefully, they'll have an answer for me on how to fix my events to display correctly. If not, I guess I'll have to change all day events to begin and end at specific times. Which means deleting birthdays from the Address Book and creating calendar entries for each one. What a nuisance that will be!
ETA: AND I won't be able to rely on the US Holidays calendar. *sigh*

    Can I use ICal 5.0.3 with Mountain Lion? The new ICal dropped Reminders!

    Reminders App won't print and won't sort, etc with Calendar like it iused to. The old ICal is a better App.

  • My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

    My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

    I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

  • My Word, Excel, and powerpoint won't work with mountain lion

    My Word, Excel, and powerpoint won't work with mountain lion.
    Just upgraded, and my icons are question marks.

    Is the upgrade free? That depends, if you have a more recent version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint, then probably yes, but if not, nope, it'll cost you. Try M$ (micro$oft for that). However, might I suggest, humbly, that you try OpenOffice or NeoOffice. I used it to open up a powerpoint presentation and it did fine, plus the price is right

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

    I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5.  How can I refresh them so they will all sync together.  I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro.  I turned iCloud off then on again.  I also turned calendars on and off again.  Then the event disappeared from my iPad also.  So now it is only on my iPhone 5.  How do I sync ical with all my devices?

    Anna,
    I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage.
    It would be helpful to know if you used this support article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone. I can't reset sync history in Lion anymore?

    i'm pulling my hair out! my ical just won't sync with my iphone anymore. i wanted to reset sync history as suggested in some forums but lion doesn't have isync anymore.
    it is so frustrating as it is supposed to be easy to sync apple products!
    any ideas?
    thanks again
    ian

    Thanks John, you're a star! it's back to normal, it was hours last night resetting my iphone but no luck. I reset my sync services this morning and it works!
    Why have Apple made it so difficult to do this, why hide things away? I spent ages looking for my library the other day as that was hidden! Mad!
    Much appreciated John,
    Ian

  • Keynote 5.2 won't open with Mountain Lion

    I've been using all of iWork with Mountain Lion since July 9 when the Developer GM Seed was released, and it worked fine. Now that the public has Mountain Lion, iWork was updated and I get the message "Check with the Developer to make sure Keynote works with this version of OS X."
    I know for a fact this must be an error, but since I've had iWork '09 since its release on CD I haven't bought it on the Mac App Store and therefore cannot use that for this problem. (Although the App Store updated Keynote and the rest of iWork)

    It's not quite the same thing but in case other people's searches lead them here too, I was having trouble getting Keynote (updated) and TextEdit to open. They would just hang without even getting to the initial screen. I fixed the problem by turning off iCloud for documents
    Go to System Preferences > iCloud > uncheck "Documents & Data" from the sync list.
    (Actuall I uninstalled Keynote, did the above, restarted and then reinstalled but I think I only needed ot do the above).
    Anyway, both Keynote and TextEdit open fine now. Shame I can't use iCloud with them but I'll cope...
    Hope that helps someone.

  • I just figured out that my CanoScan won't work with Mountain Lion.  Now what?

    I have already upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Then, I noticed that my scanner won't work.  The person at Cannon said that the scanner drivers are not ready so that they will interface with Mountain Lion.  He couldn't tell me how long it would be before Cannon caught up.  Do I have to delete Mountain Lion to scan?

    You're looking for solutions, so I'll let you know what you need to do:
    1. If you have sufficient storage, you can make separate partitions for Mountain Lion and Lion.
    2. Invest in a new hard drive, install Lion, and use it to do your scanning. I don't know how to do this, but it is possible.
    3. You can wait for Canon to update their scanner software, but it's hard to tell when (or if) you will get it.
    4. Often, third-party developers come up with scanning and printing software for unsupported devices, but given the recency of ML, there's no certainty when the software will come out - or what it will cost.
    5. Scrap your current scanner, and replace it with a new machine.
    I don't know how often you use your scanner, so it's hard to tell which you should do.

  • Tv hooked up through mini dp won't work with Mountain Lion

    Using Lion we could hook up a tv through the HDMI connected through a Mini DP connection With Mountain Lion the system won't recognize the external display. Why? Can we fix this?

    Try resetting the PRAM - Finder -> Help, then type "PRAM" and it will give you instructions
    and if that does not work, try resetting the SMC

  • ICal won't sync with iPad

    iTunes says that calendars are syncing, but events from my iPad don't show up on my iMac.  This is frustrating as this is the only way I have of syncing my iPad and iPhone.  Please help
    I have searched and see that many others are having this issue with no real resolution.  I am hoping it has been fixed in the 6 weeks since the last post I found.

  • DVD-R won't mount with Mountain Lion

    Just upgraded to Mountain Lion on 2009 MacBook Pro and now cant mount a blank DVD-R to archive. Any ideas?

    Hi, Im having exactly the same problem with my 2009 iMac and I cant find an actual solution- it's NOT a hardware problem, as it reads both music CDs and movie DVDs, the problem is with blank discs.
    My theory is that Apple have disabled the facility, as all the new Macs that ship with mountain Lion don't have an optical drive installed (only the Mac Pro's and they ship with Lion and Mountain Lion is offered as a download) and they are trying to drive consumers onto their Cloud Storage facility.
    Maybe this is why it's so difficult to find a solution and why Apple have kept so very quiet with their responses on these forums...
    Come on Apple, if you read this please act upon it- do I now have to downgrade back to Lion just to use my Superdrive as it's meant for?!

  • Indesign won't start with Mountain Lion 10.8

    Neither CS4 Indesign nor the trial of CS6 Indesign will start on brand new MacBook air 11" with Mountain Lion 10.8.  Begins starting and then says "unexpectedly quit"  Same problem on both versions.  Apparently none of the CS products work with Mountain Lion.  Kind of hard to buy a product when even the trial version doesn't even work.  Is there a fix?

    Moving this discussion to the InDesign forum.  InDesign CS6 does work in 10.8.  I have it working on two different Mac's here.  The users in this forum should be able to give some good suggestions for troubleshooting InDesign.  You may want to begin by looking at disabling any third party fonts you have installed.
    Also if you transferred the applications over via the Migration assistant please remove the software and install from the installation files.
