Unable to sync iCal and mobilme

I performed a sync with mobileme last night and everything synced except iCal. I get the following dialog box.
Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent data.
Confirm that your computer data is valid, then reset calendars on mobileme in system preferences.
One problem is there is no data in iCal. This is a first time sync.
The second problem is i can't find where to reset calendars in system preferences.
this is a brand new 13 inch MacBook my old G4 PowerBook died.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I have made some progress in my particular situation. I now have stability with iCal desktop. What I did was rename the folder called iCal in Application Support, I renamed it with an x at the end so it would not be used unless I got rid of the x. That way I can easily go back to it. Then I used one of my earlier backups from the apple program Backup, restoring iCal folder in Application Support. I then renamed the folder called SyncServices in Application Support with an x at the end. Then when you just start up iCal it makes a new one. I think that is the culprit of all my problems. And so far all is well. I have not synced iCal to mobile me yet, I may not do it, that is where all my problems began. I don't really use Calendar on mobile me for anything anyway.

  • Unable to sync Ical from Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11.

    I am unable to sync Ical from my Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11. (and yes, the Iphone shows up as recognised in the sidebar and will sync Ical from Macbook to Iphone.) All ideas welcome.

    If Damon's suggestion of resetting sync history doesn't fix the problem you most likely have a bad contact record in iCal. When they sync encounters the bad record it doesn't know what to do with it so it stops. To fix it you must find the bad record, open it, make a small change, and save it. An easy way to find the bad record is to create a new group and set the iPhone to sync to this group. Put a few records into the group at a time, then sync. At some point the sync will fail or hang. You have then narrowed the problem to a few records.

  • Need help syncing iCal and Outlook 2011 (for Mac) THANKS!

    QUESTION: How do I sync iCal and Outlook up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    I just bought an iPhone. I am trying to get my phone and my MacBook Pro synced up through iCloud.
    I realize that I need to have Outlook 2011 and iCal set up for syncing for this to work.
    I did this at one point, and it resulted in all of my ALL DAY appointments being duplicated in Outlook, iCal, and on the calendar on my phone - and iCloud sending out duplicate invitations to events.
    Then, I turned syncing between iCal and Outlook and deleted all of the duplicates in my Outlook.
    Of course, because I haven't set up Outlook to sync with iCal, iCal and my phone's calendar have not changed. There are still duplicates there.
    How do I sync them up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can be!
    Cheers!

    My iPhone 4 was working fine, synched with Outlook 2011 on my iMac 11.02 through iTunes. Calendar changes also appeared in iCal, even though I don't use iCal - I only use Outlook. Last week I was prompted to update Outlook, which I did successfully. Today, I plugged the iPhone into the iMac to synch and suddenly all Calendar and Contact items are gone from the iPhone and in iCal on the iMac. In iTunes, the option to synch with Outlook in the Info tab ("other") is greyed out. What happened? Why can't I synch the iPhone anymore with Outlook? All the Calendar and Contact info is still on the iMac in Outlook. Help!

    Unable to sync contacts and calendar with HP Laptop using MS Outlook 2010 and I-phone 4gs since OS 6 upgrade

    The activation server is gone for AA7, but not AA8 as understand it. You will need to do the updates for AA8 to be effective on Win7. It is questionable that it will run on WIn8 (I have no clue for a MAC).
    Your conversation is an example of how many of us got here in the first place. It is fantastic that you were able to hold on and get the problem resolved. Not exactly sure of the solution, but there does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel for folks. Normally, with activation problems like yours, we recommend calling Adobe Support for them to reset the activations. I was just wanting to get a heads up about AA8 on the newer systems. Folks have been successrul on Win7 with the updates, but the results for Win8 are still not known in general. There have been some suggestions, but nothing more. As long as it works for you that is great. For our info, what OS are you running?

  • Why can I no longer sync iCal and contacts without iCloud?

    I dont use iCloud basically because by doing so all your data - specifically your contacts and calendar - gets uploaded to an Apple server where it sits for ever. If you decide you want to stop using iCloud (like you decide for some weird reason to use windows instead...or you move somewhere where there's no internet - its possible) it deletes your data from the device you have unsubscribed from. This basically means once you are on iCloud there is no going back. Apple basically acts as if it owns you and your data and inorder to access it (excude me but my calender and contacts list belongs to me) its obligitory to use Apple and iCloud...if you dont it gets deleted and is gone for ever.
    So I sync via USB/WiFi...but now after 'upgrading' to Mavericks this option is no longer permitted? You MUST use iCloud.....WHY?? - I dont want to!
    I run a business and use iCal to make all my business bookings - these used to sync easily between my iPad and my iMac. Now it doesnt unless I hand over the rights to all my data for all enternity to Apple inc.
    This is my stuff and it doesnt belong to Apple - I want to keep it that way
    How can I sync iCal and Contacts without signing away ownership of my diary and contacts to Apple?
    Am I going to have to ditch my Mac?? Why wasnt this more widely publicized??
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
    Here is one way
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6311
    Here is another
    http://www.apple.com/au/osx/server/
    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

    I suspect you are not actually syncing, but simply manually copying the data each time using the flashcard as the transport medium.
    No, I have two sync programs, one on the Mac, one on the PC, they sync their files to the flashcard.

  • I am unable to sync ical to icloud.

    I have been for the past 3 hours to sync my ical on my imac to my icloud account. When I log into my icloud account online it shows the calandar as blank.  I have tried to turn on and off the calandar in system preferences (on my imac) mail and in the icloud system preferences and it does not sync up. I have a 2011 imac and lion OSX. 
    Is this common? I can see my calendar in google docs, on my imac in ical and on my ipad 2. But for some reason my icloud calandar is showing up blank.
    I made sure that I have been logging in with the same user name on all accounts.
    If anyone has any suggestions or help please let me know.
    Thank you!

  • How To Sync iCal and Address Book in Windows 7

    Hi.
    I have using mobileme for years and now icloud. I have all my files in my idisk account and they work flawless in my macmini, iphone, etc
    Now I have to work with a PC with Windows 7 at the office and need to get, edit and add apointments and contacts to the ical and addressbook I use on my mac.
    Is there a way (or hopefully a program) I can use to sync my ical and addressbook information in WINDOWS 7?
    Thanks for the support!
    Regards,

    Similar problem here,
    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??

  • Unable to sync contacts and calendar from Q10 using BB Link

    I am using Blackberry Link version 1.2.2.13 and each time I try to synchronize my Blackberry Q10 to my Laptop (Windows XP OS),  I receive the message "Sync was unsuccessful- Unable to process organizer data." I have reset the settings, removed the device, reset the sync relationships as well as reinstalling the software, but nothing had resolved my issue. I have been a loyal Blackberry consumer for the last 6-7 years and would hate to have to switch to another brand because of something like this.
    I am also noticing that while I may be receiving that message, The information of contacts are being shuffled around among other contacts. I have reset the handset to factory default, but the problem continues.

    This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
    In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!

  • Error when trying to sync iCal and .mac

    Hi all
    I'm running iCal 2.0.3 on an iBook with 10.4.3. Every time I try to sync iCal via .Mac, I get the following error:
    The protocol „/tmp/gs/isync/3rFduE“ could not be copied or moved to „/Users/gs/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/Compat/DotMacPAPIClient/com.apple.DotMacLegacy/Input /37CFD216-92B7-11D8-9634-003065B36BBE.D000.CLOG“.
    (Note: The error message was translated from german).
    I trashed the iCal prefs, caches, the folder ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/SyncService and ~/Library/iCal to no avail. Sync works perfect on any other of my Macs, it's just this iBook.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Tina

    Never mind - had to do a reinstall anyway, now it works.

  • Unable to sync music and video on ipad 4 but able to sync on iphone

    used handbrake to convert video, used itune to convert personnel video made with iphone
    mp3 music unable to sync
    all other(book, contact , app) are syncable

    iTunes can help you convert video.
    let's clear your question: you have some personal video files that made with iPhone, and then used handbrake to convert the videos.  The video and Mp3 files can't sync to iPad 4, right?
    Well, while you convert the videos with handbrake, what output settings you choose? iPad or Apple TV is ok.
    Or else you maybe need another video converter.

  • Possible to sync iCal and Treo?

    I have been syncing my Treo 755p to my PC via ACT. After making the switch to Mac - I've got to either buy ACT for Mac or find a way to get my database off my phone.
    I was curious if it was possible to somehow sync my Treo to the iMac and get my calendar imported into iCal and my contacts into the address book?
    I'm guessing it isn't possible, but thought I'd throw it out there! Thanks for any ideas.
