Upgrading MobileMe calendar using Leopard

I'm confused about how to upgrade to the new Mobileme calendar on leopard. Upgrading to Snow Leopard is not an option for me at the moment, and the help pages on the Apple website are really confusing.
I use iCal and the online version of the calendar, but am totally bewildered by what I need to do to upgrade.
This link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330 supposedly talks Leopard users how to perform the upgrade.
Halfway down it says:
Important: Do not follow these steps until you have successfully joined the new MobileMe Calendar. For more information about joining the new MobileMe Calendar, see this article.
When I clicked on the embedded link, it takes me through to this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4037
Where on the page am I supposed to find out how to "join the new MobileMe Calendar"?
All I want is clear, step-by-step guidance as a Leopard user, but this doesn't seem available.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help - I think the problem is solved

New Time Zone Issue with MobileMe Calendar Upgrade

I'm having strange things happen with sending/receiving "invitations" to people in other time zones.
Prior to this MobileMe calendar upgrade, sending/receiving invitations worked fine. I would schedule an event (obviously in my time zone), and if I invite a friend in a different time zone, the event would show up on her Google Calendar at the proper time. Between iCal and Google Calendar, the time zone translation was working properly. Likewise, when she scheduled an event and sent me an invitation, the event showed up in iCal at the proper time for me.
But now, after simply upgrading MobileMe calendar, events from me to her show up at the wrong time! It's as if the time zone translation is no longer occurring. Oddly, events that she sends to me still work correctly.
I have "Turn on time zone support" enabled in iCal, MobileMe calendar, and on the iPhone.
So this very nice feature that was working previously seems to have broken with the MobileMe calendar upgrade.
Has anyone else seen this, or (hopefully) solved it?
Thanks!
Jim

...anyone?

If I upgrade to Lion from Snow Leopard on my Mac will MobileMe calendar and mail integrate with iCloud?

There is no Mobile Me anymore. It has been gone for several years, now. However, your existing calendar and mail will integrate with iCloud if you enable it on your system.

Sync iCal - iPhone - Exchange 2007 broken after MobileMe Calendar upgrade

I need to keep contacts and calendars in sync between my work pc (XP, Outlook 2003, Exchange Server 2010), my home Mac (10.6.6) and my iPhone (3GS, iOS 4.3). Until recently, that worked fine by the following (roundabout) way: PC syncs with Plaxo online via Outlook add-in; Plaxo syncs with Mac; Mac syncs with MobileMe; MobileMe syncs with iPhone. However, the recent upgrade to new MobileMe calendar breaks this workflow, at least for calendar syncing, because Plaxo cannot synchronise with the new CalDAV cloud-hosted calendars. Can anyone suggest another way of getting this to work?
I thought MobileMe for PC might be a solution, but while it can show MobileMe calendars in Outlook, it can't synchronize them (and it seems not to work with Windows XP). A while back, I tried using Google Calendar as the focal point, but found Google Calendar Sync for Windows created a lot of duplicate items, lost items and general mess.
PS The office network doesn't run Exchange ActiveSync and does not allow a vpn connection from Mac or iPhone.

Hi JWilson@ch,
So I thought I was the only person doing that crazy workflow to get everything synced. I do it exactly the same way.
I stupidly upgraded to the new MobileMe last year when first invited, and spent the next few days working out how to get it all back and working. I have been happily syncing everything the old way since then.
My major concern now is that I just received an email from MobileMe today saying I have to upgrade now as they have stopped syncing the old calendar! I haven't checked this yet (I will in a sec), but if I have to upgrade, that means I lose everything that has worked so well since MobileMe started.
My crappy work Blackberry is useless for mirroring my Outlook calendar, so syncing my work onto the much more user friendly iPhone had been a saviour. Now I have all of my work and personal appointments in the same place, and I never miss anything.
What to do now? Is there another way to get my PC calendar onto my iPhone, apart from the Exchange Activesync option which my office also doesn't support.
I'll hold out as long as I can...

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.

Help: I "upgraded" MobileMe's calendar and now all google calendars gone

I had previously had multiple google calendar subscriptions that synced with iCal.
Having inadvertently let my MobileMe trial turn into a full year's subscription, I was checking out its features (which I really haven't used other than the gallery). When I was prompted to upgrade the MobileMe calendar to the new version, I did so.
When I went to iCal, now all of my calendar events have been converted to "on my mac" calendars (instead of my Google subscribed calendars).
When I go directly to Google Calendars, THEY ARE ALL GONE.
Is there any way to restore things to the way they were? I'm guessing I can use time machine to restore the iCal database, but not sure if that will then "push" the missing calendars to Google Calendar.
Help, please. Needless to say, I have turned off MobileMe syncing...

I had similar issues. All of my past events under my "Personal" calendar were not there. I went to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/Sync and changed the setting to "All Events" (other options are 2 Weeks Back, 1 Month Back, 3 Months Back, 6 Months Back). Not sure if this did anything or not.
I needed to see all my doctor appointments I had had over the past year (they still showed up on my desktop calendar, but not my iPhone). So I went in to each doctor appointment on the desktop, editing the name slightly, and it then appeared on my iPhone. This was a pain, but I got all my doc visits back on my phone so I can search for them. Note that repeating events in my Personal calendar still showed up. It was only solo events that would not display.
Seems like Apple made a mistake on this one.

HT204053 Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 2.1 Computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I am no longer able to renew my MobileMe account, Why? Maybe I should look into PC Computers in the future!

Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks

MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You will not be able to sync calendars or contacts. If you want to have general online file storage you will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

Calendar on iPad - Problem After Upgrading my MobileMe Calendar

I upgraded my MobileMe calendar as required by Apple and synced my iPad. Now I've lost the ability to choose which calendar an event goes into when I create a new event on my iPad. If I create an event on my iPad, I have to sync it to my Mac, move it the correct calendar in iCal, then sync it back to my iPad.

Try restarting your iPad. I use the new MM cal and don't have your problem.

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!

I am using Leopard but need Mountain Lion for the Mac App Store. How do I get Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

I am currently using Leopard but need Snow Leopard to be able to get Mountain Lion. I can see this is no longer available from Apple. How would I get it so I could then get Mountain Lion. I want the Logic 9 Mac App Store App as I don't want to have to buy the whole Logc 9 from Studio 8.
Some help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

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.

Does your disc look like *
If not, you are using the wrong disc.
Does it say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM?
If it does, you are using the wrong disc.
Since your Mac is compatible with Snow Leopard, unless you have some pressing need to only be running Leopard, and not Snow Leopard, it is cheaper to upgrade to Snow Leopard with the regular retail box for Snow Leopard from the Apple Store. You do not need to buy the Box Set, nor do you need to buy Leopard to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
If you need Leopard for something not compatible in Snow Leopard, call Apple Support as they may still have the retail Leopard available. The online store does not, and only a few used and refurbished Mac shops still have the retail one available.

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.

Can I upgrade MB using Leopard from iMac?

I have a MB with Tiger on it. I recently purchased an iMac with Leopard on it. Can I use the gray discs that came with my iMac to upgrade my MB to Leopard or do I need to buy the retail version?

You need to purchase the retail version. The disks which came with the iMac are only compatible with and licensed to that computer for the purpose of Mac OS X installation.
