TS3999 iCloud + iCal + ML sync issues

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a late-2011 13" MBP and upgraded it to ML. I did not have any prior issues with my iPhone/Mac/iPad/Black MacBook syncing together with iCloud, which is why I'm perplexed after countless Google searches and resets with no answers. My iOS devices are still syncing properly. I can access my updated calendar at iCloud.com. Everything works except for iCal on Mac with iCloud. I now have an exclamation point next to iCloud in the calendar along with a phantom Google calendar that is no longer shared. The error message I get is:
The server responded with an error.
The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've attempted signing in and out with different accounts to test, allocate and/or delete files from the Library > Calendar folder, Preferences folder and SyncServices, and also verified disk permissions. I'm re-downloading ML now to try re-installing it. I'm out of ideas.

Hey there!
I apologize for my terminology because it probably wasn't accurate or that clear.
While using your existing Apple ID or iCloud account, open Calendar, then go to File > New Calendar > iCloud. Give it a different name and color than your existing calendar for troubleshooting purposes(you can always delete the old one and rename it and change the colors later). Once the new calendar is created, try creating a new event under it to make sure that it syncs across all of your devices. In my scenario, doing this revealed that the new calendar synced correctly while the old one continued to show an error icon.
As far as migrating the calendars, I think there are two options. Luckily for me I didn't have too many events so I went into each event and edited them at the bottom where it indicates which calendar you want to associate the event with. The other method that I was going to try, but wasn't sure if a corrupted event/setting would carry over to the new calendar if I did, was to export my old calendar to my desktop, then import it back into my new calendar. Theoretically, this should move all of those previously entered events under your new calendar without having to click into each event like I did. Because I've never tried it, I can't speak to whether or not the original error would return. *However, if your Mac Calendar is empty due to syncing issues, the export method won't be of much help as it only exports what is currently visible in that calendar. But if your calendar currently contains all the events you'd like to keep, but it just can't sync anymore, then exporting and importing might work.
If you decide to try the export/import method, it's pretty straightforward. After you create the new calendar, click on the old one and go to File > Export. Save the file to your desktop, then go to File > Import. Choose the file you just saved and select the destination as the NEW calendar you just created. Again, theoretically, it should work.
Good luck!

ICal/Google sync issues since iOS 8.2 update

Since the update to iOS 8.2 a few days ago, iCal on my iPhone 5s is not syncing with my Google Calendar. I have already reset the 2 step verification on my Google calendar permissions, checked to make sure events are in the Google calendar and not in the iPhone calendar, and checked settings to make sure the Google calendar is selected. The only thing I have not tried (because I'm worried that changes I made prior to realizing thisi was an issue would be lost) is deleting my Google account from the iPhone and reconnecting. Is that really my only remaining option? I'm stumped.

I'm facing the same issue on iOS 8.2 iPhone6. iCal is not syncing on the iPhone. It does, however, sync from Yosemite to iCloud.com.

ICal iPhone Sync Issue... Bug?

I have many repeating events in my calendar. I often have to change the time of one of the events in the string. I seem to have major problems when I do this either in iCal on my Mac or in the iPhone. When I sync I end up with deleted events, duplicated events, or other seemingly random errors. Often my iCal and iPhone are showing different info after a sync. I have double checked the settings for sync and reset my sync history with no positive results.
This problem is so perversive that I have reverted to putting in repeating events as entirely separate events. A huge pain as an event that repeats for five days needs to be put in as 5 completely separate entries.
Well, now a new and interesting bug has shown up. Yesterday I put a repeating event in on two days in my iPhone as two sepereate events... no repeat from within the software.
Today I synced with iTunes and the iPhone wanted to create a new calendar in iCal with the new events in it. I canceled the sync and double checked all my settings with no issues found. In the end I had to allow the new calender to be created to get the new events over to my iCal and now I have another calender that I never created!!!
I have calendar sync problems nearly every time I sync!! My calendar is my income!!! I need help. This is approaching unusable. Any help would be appreciated. Any thoughts, ideas? Any one else seeing these kind of issues?

I am having issues with birthdays as well. Someone else posted that it was with birthdays over 75 years ago, and that is definitely what is happening with mine. The even stranger thing is, if I change the address card with the birthday of 1926 to 2000, it still doesn't show up on the iPhone, however if I create a new card with a year of 2000, it works fine.

ICloud multiple account syncing issues

My dad and I have 2 separate iCloud accounts. We both have iPads and iPhones. Both devices are synced to both of our separate accounts; individual accounts to each of our corrasponding devices. However, when he opens his contacts, his contacts list shows my contacts for some odd reason. Nothing else is synced by our iClouds but simply our contacts. I have spent hours on this issues, troubleshooting multiple times. I'm extremely current with technology (being 20), especially Apple products, but for some reason I cannot seem to resolve this issue. Why is this happening?

Strange... That shouldn't be possible unless there were another device, such as his computer, that is syncing with your account with contact syncing enabled; or if one of you has set up the other's iCloud account as a secondary account in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and enabled contacts syncing.

TS3999 iCloud/iCal question?

I started using iCloud on my Mac, iPhone, & iPad. iCal on Mac and iPad use iCloud only & info is outdated & incorrect. iPhone uses "from my mac" & has most updated/correct info. How can I sync all 3 devices to use this correct cal? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible that the "Delete events 30 days after they have passed" advanced preference got turned on in iCal somehow?

Ical - iphone syncing issues

I haven't had this problem until recently (the last month or so) but I have my iphone calendar set for military time to avoid any confusion. Military time isn't even available as an option on ical on my main computer! Now every time I try to sync my phone with my laptop, there is confusion in the system as to whether to process a (for example) 3 o'clock appointment as 3 am or 3 pm. several of my calendars have gotten screwed up this way. Is anyone else having this issue or a solution to it? I prefer to keep military time. Thanks

Having Military time across the board really helps me out, as well. This is how you configure it for iCal on your Main Computer:
System Preferences-->Language & Text
Select "Formats" at the top of the window.
Near the center of the window is a section called 'Times'; a small sample is shown. Click the Customize button to its right.
(This next part can be a bit confusing.)
Four different time formats are displayed, each with a different 'length'. Click-and-hold the Hour section of the time displayed and select "00-23" from the popup. Do this for each 'length': Short, Medium, Long, and Full.
The longer 'Length' formats have AM/PM. Click on the PM and hit your Delete Key.
Click 'Okay' in the lower-right of the window.
Restart iCal; it will now be on military time on your Main mac.

ICal - iPhone Sync (Issue or bug?)

If I enter a birthday for a person in my address book of 1/2/1930, it shows up in my iCal but does not get synced to my iPhone. However, if I just set the date to 1/2 and have the computer flll in 2007 it shows up in iCal and on my iPhone when synced.
Is this a bug? Seems like it to me...

I am having issues with birthdays as well. Someone else posted that it was with birthdays over 75 years ago, and that is definitely what is happening with mine. The even stranger thing is, if I change the address card with the birthday of 1926 to 2000, it still doesn't show up on the iPhone, however if I create a new card with a year of 2000, it works fine.

ICal - Blackberry sync issues

I have had a problem with pocketmac creating duplicate entries in both the blackberry and in iCal when I sync them together. I need to do a two way sync because sometimes I add entries on the BB and sometimes in iCal.
I bought The Missing Sync thinking this would solve my problem, and now it's even worse.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

1. I am having the same problem.
2. I had the MacBook Air which I upgraded from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4.
The sync process with my Blackberry Pearl 2 would take forever, but it would successfully sync.
3. On another MacBook Air with a Blackberry Bold, when the upgrade was made from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4, the sync wouldn't work.
I called both Rim and Apple, and it turns out it's a problem with Apple.
When I downgraded to 10.7.3, the sync worked again.
4. Now my problem is that I just bought a new MacBook Air that comes with 10.7.4 and I'm using it with my Blackberry Pearl 2.
The sync doesn't work.
On my MacBook Air, I only have "home" that contains all my appointments in my calendar which I exported to my desktop, then I deleted the "home" calendar (then I recreated a new calendar also calling it "home") hence making the calendar completely clear.
I also cleared all calendar items off my Blackberry Pearl 2.
I opened up Blackberry Desktop Manager and it shows "Home" "Work" and "Reminder".
Firstly I don't have "Reminder" anywhere within calendar.
Secondly, when I made the sync supposedly from a clear calendar on my MacBook to a clear calendar on my Blackberry Pearl, I should be syncing nothing to nothing from nothing.
BUT appointments were transferred to my blackberry AND my MacBook calendar is still clear.
5. Apple, please fix this.

ICloud + Outlook 2007 sync issues..........

iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients
While synchronizing folders for *name*@me.com (or @icloud.com), outlook 2007 could not connect to the server…. I have checked all icloud mailserver settings several times and have also reinstalled the icloud control panel twice…
Reason why this is frustrating me is is because I use the calendar sync function with my iOS devices…. At this moment my iCloud calendars are not being synced anymore.
The settings I have tried are from this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864. But i have tried a couple of other settings of that as well…
Also the icloud refresh button is gone. I checked whether the addin is disabled. It was, so I enabled it but still no synchronization……
I'm about to throw the **** thing out of the window and switch to android….nah just kidding
I really Hope you guys have the solution for me. I need to have this fixed!
Thanks!
Niels

How strange is this!!!
I tried this today several times (at work). It did not work, time after time. now im at home, the setup runs fine and settings are making the whole thing work after all.
Maybe it has something to do with VPN and Firewalls at work....
Thanks for your suggestion, however i already knew I did work!
Thanks!

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

ICal/iPhone sync keeps losing events

Several times recently I have entered a new event in iCal on my iPhone. Then at some point in the future, I go to look for the event, either on my phone or via iCal on my MacBook, and the event has disappeared. A couple of times I found that my calendar sync settings in iTunes had switched themselves off. Today, however, "Sync iCal Calendars" is still checked, with the "All Calendars" radio button enabled.
I have lost two doctor's appointments and a friend's birthday this way.

I have been having this problem since I got the iPhone two Years ago. It will work fine for a while, but occasionally get rid of events. I know of 3 in the last couple weeks that have been saved and are fine but then they mysteriously disappear.
The last time I talked to Apple Support, they told me that I am the only person that they have had report this issue and the only person that seemed to have multiple calendars (I have 23, and need them). It is funny how the forum talk about iCal/iPhone syncing issues but apple doesn't seem to know about it.
They had me back up all my events on the computer and restore them. Then re-sync the iPhone. That seemed to work most of the times, but it seems to be a problem again for some reason....I just lost a couple more appointments^%&*^%
I hope they find time to actually fix the problem. As we become more dependent on these calendars, losing appointment information becomes more and more frustrating. Enough to change phones...

ICal Syncing Issues: iCloud & iMac to iPhone Not Working

I use iCal. I updated my iCal on my iMac and it updated to iCloud, but not my iPhone. When I open iCal on my iPhone, it cycles and cycles to update, but doesn't update. What can I do to get my iPhone iCal to sync?

I have the same issue. I have 2 iPhones (4 and 5) and an MacBook. When I enter an event in the MacBook, the event doesn't appear on either iPhone and conversely when I enter and event in the iPhones, it doesn't appear in the MacBook (and all devices are connected to internet via WiFi). It all used to work fine until about June 20th. The events are all entered on iCloud-synchronized calendars. When I send invites to events to myself or others, these are not received. Mail synchronization works fine between devices. As a test, I'll set up a Google calendar and see if this problem is related to iCloud.

How to reverse iCloud/iCal sync fiasco?

I can't reverse iCal to not sync with iCloud. Installed new OS and tried (and hated) iCloud for calendar data. How do I restore old settings and keep the iCloud from messing w my iCal? I would prefer iCal data only on my MacBook, but can't seem to go back, or to delete the iCloud/ICal sync settings.

I've been having the same issue, but I think I've figured it out.
Select a calendar from the list, go File > Export > Export... (not "iCal Archive...", just "Export..."), and save the file. Do this for all your calendars, then disable iCloud, and open each of your calendars with iCal, always selecting "New Calendar" as the destination.
I know, it's time-consuming, and maybe there's a more elegant way, but it works.

ICal syncing issues with phone

Hello,
I am relooking at my setup of iPhone and Macbook and realised that my iCal doesnt sync via iCloud, so thought I would get this set up.
Currently I sync via iTunes without any issues, iCal on my Macbook shows calendars "On My Mac" with matches the phone.
What I have done is switched on the iCloud option on both iPhone and Macbook for Calenders and then gone into iCal preferences and clicked the iCloud account associated with my apple ID and enabled the account, this then created new calenders called "iCloud" but not of my events are associated with these calenders. So to test I attempted to add an event to one of the iCloud events but as I completed the event and saved it it vanished from the calendar.
So I think basically I am asking what is the best way to get iCal to work with my Mcbook and my iPhone?
Thank you for any assistance offered.
Slighlty confused as I am typing this all my events have been duplicated and appearing as iCloud events, now thinking I just need to delete the "On My Mac" events?

From what your write, it is a little hard to tell, what exactly your problem is, though you may want to try the following, which helped me at time:
step one:
export all of your calendars one by one, including the one with entries giving you problems
step two:
erase all of your calendars and create a dummy character, check if syncing works with that one.
reimport the previously exported calendars one by one, redoing the syncing routines.
In the instances I had problems, I found that exporting and reimporting a calendar file usually did away with the problem
Also, at least on my machines, turning on the birthday link to address book, created some problems, so you might want to try without that feature too.
If you got everything working on one machine, another strategy can be to reinitiate syncing from that one, i.e. erase and reinstall the syncing process on the others. Just make sure you have an up to date back up of your entries.

ICal refuses to finish 'restore' ; trying to resolve sync issues.

trying to fix sync issues.
using missing sync.
everything worked perfectly for a ling long time before i thought it'd be cute to go in and put birthdays into addressbook, and select the option in iCal preferences to add those events to my calendar.
EVERYTHING has gone to **** since then.
the missing sync guys recommend i backup and restore addressbook and iCal.
addressbook did fine.
when i select the saved ICal database file (icbu) from my desktop, it will not complete.
what gives?
i'm trying to do this to fix another problem.
its like every step is making a new issue.
i am getting close to the edge guys...
pleaes help.
thanks!
c
(overall problem is that i cannot even get missing sync to overwrite my blackberry 8830 now.
for months, iCal, Addressbook, and Tasks synced perfectly.
all was well until i screwed with this stupid Birthday feature.)

also, i've already gone into iSync and cleared sync history....that didnt seem to affect anything.
thanks in advance for any insights at all.
