Upgrade to new MobilMe--calendar shifted times 3 hrs earlier

This morning I upgraded to the new MobileMe calendar. Both my computers now show all the events as occurring 3 hours earlier. The odd thing is that when I click on the event to open details, the times listed are correct. I haven't yet synched my iPhone calendar because I'm afraid that will get messed up.

Me again. I just called the Apple help line and got very good advice (less than a 5 min wait) that worked. After signing into me.com I went to my name at the upper right > Account > Personal Info. There it was apparent that I was set for California time (I'm on the east coast). It's funny that I got switched to CA and that it's in such an obscure place and separate from my computer Date & Time Preferences, but at least it worked.
I first went to the me.com settings to make sure I had Time Zone preferences clicked and turns out I did, so that wasn't the problem.

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.

ICal crashes whenever opened after upgrade to new MobileMe calendar

I upgraded to the MobileMe calendar beta, and have no problem using it on my iPhone, MacPro or the web. But iCal on my MacBook Pro now crashes every time it is opened. I can see it start up OK, then as soon as it starts showing the indeterminate spinner next to my MobileMe calendars (presumably showing it's doing a sync) it crashes. I've tried deleting all my calendar data from my Library folder but that hasn't helped.
Has anyone else seen this? Or could anyone offer any suggestion as to how I can remove the MobileMe calendars from iCal to at least get it running again? The error it crashes with (it's the same every time):

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

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.

Restore MobileMe calendars from Time Machine

The new MobileMe Calendar and Time Machine don't play nice together. This Apple Tech Note says:
'Important: Do not rely on traditional methods for backing up calendar data, such as exporting the iCal database, Time Machine, MobileMe Backup, or iTunes backups of iOS devices. Any changes to the data in the cloud will be more up-to-date than data in those backups and override a restore done from those backups.'
So if you accidentally delete your calendars, they are deleted on MobileMe: you restore the cached versions from TM, and MobileMe promptly brings them up to date by deleting them again.
However it is possible to restore from Time Machine by following the following steps:
Turn off your internet connection. Make sure that it really is completely off.
Restore from Time Machine. This should restore your calendars to list under your MobileMe username.
Now carry out this process with each calendar:
Select a calendar listed under your MobileMe login name.
From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved at your designated destination.
Create a new calendar with the same name as the one you've just exported from, choosing 'On My Mac'.
From the File menu choose Import... Select the .ics file and choose to import it into the calendar you just created (make sure you don't import it into the MobileMe version).
Now your calendars are listed under 'On My Mac' as well as under your MobileMe login name.
Reconnect to the internet. Your MobileMe calendars will disappear as before. Now carry out the following process with each of the 'On My Mac' calendars:
Select your 'On My Mac' calendar. From the File menu choose 'Export...' then 'Export...'; from the sub-menu. This will create an .ics file at the location chosen in the Export dialog.
From the File menu choose 'New Calendar' then your MobileMe login name in the sub menu.
A new calendar called 'Untitled' will appear in your sidebar under your MobileMe login name. Change its name to that of the calendar you exported.
From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
iCal will ask you where to import this to. Click the drop-down menu and select the MobileMe version of your calendar (make sure not to choose the 'On My Mac' version). Import.
Your calendar contents will appear in the MobileMe version of the calendar but this may take some time. You need to leave iCal running until the rotating icon at the top of the sidebar disappears.
You can now delete the 'On My Mac' version of the calendar (control-click it in the sidebar list and choose 'Delete').
You should back up your calendars periodically by exporting the .ics files as in step 1 above and keeping them safely.

Kevin,
Can I use Time Machine to go back and restore my old calendars so I can find that data that I lost!
You may be able to find the individual events in Time Machine, but depending upon the number of "Files" in the "Events" folder, they may be difficult to identify.
I don't want to replace the information in my Calendars, only look back at some old ones!
The data will be located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder, which (depending upon the number of calendars) will have corresponding folders with alpha/numeric names for each one of your calendars. Open the alpha/numeric folders and you will find an Info.plist file and an "Events" folder. You can use Text Edit to open the plist file, on your current calendars which will help you to identify/narrow down the correct calendar. The "Events" folder will contain separate event files for each event with icons that display the date of the event. It will help if you know the date of your lost event(s).
Use Time Machine to recover the individual event. If/when you find the event(s) restore to your Desktop, double click the event and import it into iCal.
Also, I did a Backup in iCal. Where are those files stored?
If you did a backup using iCal, and do not remember where you specified for the backup, use Spotlight to identify where the backup file was placed. Use .icbu for the search term.
Good Luck.
;~)

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!

2007 iMac freezes up, rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve?

My circa 2007 iMac freezes up, and rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Most of the time I ONLY have 1 thing open at a time, and keep my tabs down to a minimum. I bought this to do film editing on but with it acting like this I cannot do that. I know I need a ram upgrade (currently running 2 gb) and my OS is old, 10.5.8, but I think even with it being a bit outdated it should run better than this. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve this? Or any other suggestions to keep this clunker chugging along for a little while longer?

How full is the hard drive?
Do you run any virus software or hard drive "cleaner" software like MacKeeper?
If your model is from 2007 you can install up to 6 GBs of RAM.
2 GBs is the barest of minimum RAM for OS X to run on.
Especially if doing video work. You simply do not have sufficient RAM.
Also OS X 10.5.8 Leopard support ended around 2009.
You could update to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, at least.
It is available on disc from the Apple store for U.S. $19.99.
I Would seriously upgrade your iMac's RAM to the max. 6 GBs before doing this.
Reliable Mac RAM can be purchase from online Mac RAM source Crucial memory or OWC ( also known as macsales).

HT1692 I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; twpo problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my calendar will not syncd at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do no

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Does anyone have a solution?

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Neither direction seems to be working.

Hello Happy-in-the-Mountains,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where you're unable to sync between your iPhone and Outlook, I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article linked to below.

ICal 4.04 won't update upgraded MobilMe calendar

Driving me crazy and the help topics just send you into an infinite loop without answering questions.
I am on iCal 4.04 and have upgraded to the latest MobilMe calendar, pre-cursors I have been using for two years. Basically, MobilMe refuses to sync/update when I add items either on my iCal calendar on my Mac or on my iPhone. My main computer calendar is up to date and accurate, but MobilMe is not and neither is my iPhone (3G version running iOS4.2...still very slow too!)
Is there a way I can start from scratch, wipe the calendars off MobilMe and reinstall everything to get it working right out of the gate? Resetting the sync data in Preferences did not work either.
Help please, and thanks in advance.

I too am having the same trouble. I have been having largely trouble free synching between MacBook Pro, I mac, Iphone 3GS & iPad for past 8 weeks. Today when I upgraded to iOS 4.2 on my iPad & iPhone, my main calendar and associated notes have stopped syncing. In addition I have up to 12 copies of some previous calendar items, of which only one is correct & the others in complete (template) versions of the events. This is driving me mad.
Can anyone help get this back on track??

Upgrading to new iCal has deleted all my calendars on all my synced Macs

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!
