Viewing calendars on MobileMe, Mac OS X and iOS

Hi,
One of the attractions of MobileMe is the ability to have your data synced across different devices. However, the mechanism for calendars doesn't seem to be completely transparent. That is to say, I have different views of my calendar data depending from where I am viewing them.
On my MacBook Pro, I see everything: my own calendars, subscribed calendars and reminders. On MobileMe, I see just my own calendars, minus any reminders they contain. On the iPhone, I see my own calendars and subscribed ones, but again no reminders. This is kind of annoying, as you need to think how you're viewing the calendar, which should really be irrelevant. Is there any way to view all the information (as per from the MacBook Pro) from anywhere?

Ok, I talked to Cisco support today and here is what occured.
1. They changed my MTU settings from Auto to Manual and changed the MTU setting to 1450. (No Change)
2. They noticed that I wasn't running the latest firmware, so I uploaded the newest firmware into the router and reset it to the default settings. (No Change)
After I hung up with Cisco, and one minute before I just packed up the router and took it back, I started to think that maybe it was the ISP that was blocking certain ports or applications. (I just switched ISPwhich is why I bought this router). So here is what I did and somehow this worked. Don't ask how. Even Cisco couldn't explain it afterwards.
1. I put the Mac's IP address into the DMZ on the router. (I was able to browse all the sites with no problems and with great internet speeds) However I did not want to leave the Mac unprotected.
2. I called Cisco back to tell them that maybe the issue is with the port forwarding on the router.
3. They said if that was true that it would affect all computers on the network, not just the Mac.
4. They said it most likely was a Firewall issue, so we disabled the DMZ and then disabled the Firewall.
5. Once again, no problems. I was able to view all the websites and the Internet speed on the Mac was great.
6. However, I also did not want to leave the Firewall disabled.
7. So we enabled the Firewall and then changed the MTU to Manual and 1500.
IT WORKS. I don't know why and neither does Cisco, but here it is. Just follow what I did and post if you had any success.
EDITED THE NEXT DAY!
NEVER MIND. IT STOPPED WORKING THE NEXT DAY! I am taking this one back.

Can non-purchased sync across mac ibook app and ios ibook app

I looked up many discussions, blog posts etc, but seem get conflicting answers. I really want to know whether I can sync non-purchase (from ibook store) pdf from my mac (maverick) to ipad ibook apps. I tried many times, but failed to do so. I never try books. Does pdf must be sync through iTunes or by email?
The icloud sync is really frustrating. Previously, it took me quite a lot efforts to sort out the sync between pages and numbers. Not because I didn't do the right settings, but problems just arrived after upgrade mavericks. And I had to uninstall and reinstall the apps several times to make them work. So I wonder it is the same problem with the ibook.
Someone pls help!

Yes, eBooks (either PDF or EPUB) not purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to iOS devices but not via the cloud. You must do it via USB.
1. Make sure the eBook is in the iBooks library.
2. Connect the iOS device to your computer via USB.
3. Open iTunes and select the device, then select Books.
4. Make sure "sync books" is selected and choose either the "all books" or "selected books" radio buttons. If you select "selected books" you'll need to then also select the eBooks to sync.
5. Click the Sync button.

Help with Spry, acting weird in Mac Os 10.5 10.6, 10.7 and Ios Devices

I use Dreamweaver CS4 for designing our school website. The url is http://www.stpiusxschool.org
The menu bar on the left is built with a Spry Asset, it is to expand to different choices on some of the lines. The issue started about a month ago, if I click on the first item that should expand out (Parent Resources) it will not expand out, then I choose the second one (Student Resources) it expands out, I go back to Parent Resources and it will expand....this happen on Mac 10.5 and Ios Devices (Ipad, and Iphone)
On Mac 10.6 menu bars will never expand out.
I have tried many things, I have ran the Spry Updater and uploaded those files. I have built a page outside of my site, it appears to work ok, then copied that Spry Asset folder into the site, no luck.
I have built a second spry on a test page within the site, and tried it out, it doesn't seem to work correct either. It can be accessed off the main page mentioned above, scroll to the bottom and click on test, that is just what it is a test page.
School is starting soon and this site is used a lot for resources during the day.
I have called Adobe and got no where with them but that even took hours.
If someone could help me out that would be awesome.
By the way, I know nothing about coding itself.
Thanks

You have got two problems
The menu is acting weird in Mac as well as on PC
The menu does not behave in IOS devices
The solutions
Add the DOCTYPE Declaration to your document(s)
Replace the current SpryMenuBar for an IOS friendly MenuBar
1. You can add the HTML5 document type as follows, making sure that there are no blank lines before <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>St Pius X School des moines iowa</title>
The title already existsin your document. I put it there so that it is easier to see where the rest goes.
2. There is a Spry Menu Bar 2.0 available here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2141544

Selective use of iCloud with multiple laptops, multiple iPods and iOS devices?

I haven't brought my MBP13 to Lion yet. I do have an MBA that runs Lion.   I have hesitated to take the MBP to Lion and set up iCloud because I just don't understand what the options are for selective "sync" of various sorts of data among one or more Macs, their iPods and iOS devices.   The material I can find so far does not in any way make it clear to me in advance what sort of selectivity will be offered if I turn on iCloud.
Aside from that my DSL connection does not offer a stellar download rate, and I live in a dead zone for cellular signals, so I do not operate in an "always on" state.   I turn on my laptop's WiFi or plug in an ethernet cable a few times a day and similarly might turn on a mobile device a few times.   Past that, I'm offline. I've lived like that with my Apple gear for 30 years and that's just how it is for people in rural areas of the USA.
All or most of my so-called "syncs" are the manual sort. I pick out what info I want on any device and drag it there after connecting the devices. If something I want on a mobile device can't be dragged there, or the alternative dread "sync" doesn't offer enough selectivity, I just settle for not having whatever that item is on whatever that device is, assuming I can't figure out a way to hammer the system into letting me get it on there (like temporarily adding movies to my main library from a separate library and external drive, then drag to the iPad, then eject the iPad and delete the movie listings from the main library to reduce the clutter again).
So.    I don't keep ALL of my various types of data (mail, music, movies, notes, PDF files, app data) on ANY of my devices. I couldn't make them fit, and I wouldn't want them all on everything anyway.    I don't always even keep any mail setups on a particular mobile device. I might have one there for a particular time frame, say over a weekend, and then disable or delete it.   That works fine for me. I shudder to think what would happen if I had an iCloud setup and did that. I have visions of my entire mail setup on one of my laptops being deleted if I delete it from an iOS device...
Beyond unwanted deletion?   Unwanted addition!   The last thing on earth I would ever want to do is set up iCloud and then find out that it wants to stash hundreds of GB of movies, hundreds of PDFs, thousands of music tracks, etc., on, say, my original iPhone that I still use as a WiFi device and occasionally add a few tracks of music to, or change up its playlists. Not to mention what would happen if it tried to stash all my stuff on some unsuspecting little iPod touch used just for audiobooks.
I am afraid that iCloud will work like the dread "transfer purchases" thing works now. The "transfer purchases" doesn't let me say WHAT purchases to transfer.   There's no way I want a movie I have managed to take from a secondary iTunes library onto an iPad transferred "back" to my iPhone or my MBA or to ANYTHING just because I turn some device I own in order to check the weather.   Maybe I never purchased that movie on the iPad. Just because it's not on the main library any more doesn't mean I want it to be there, either.
So how can find out ahead of time how iCloud is going to work for someone with lots of different types of data on several laptops where all the so-called "syncs" at present are as manual as I have been able to make them?
Or can someone just tell me hey you know what, iCloud is not designed for you, just don't go there.
Either way I'll be grateful for some help here. Sure I can clone my laptops and then back up all the iOS devices and copy those backups to externals, and then turn on iCloud and hammer on my stuff for two days to see what happens. But why should i do that if someone can say up front that iCloud is or is not set up for highly selective sync options?

iCloud does not sync movies or general files, so that problem doesn't arise.
iCloud will:
Sync Calendars
SyncSafari Bookmarks (though not display them on the iCloud website)
Sync Contacts
Sync photos added to or taken on one device onto other devices
Access @me.com email
Sync iWork documents only between your Mac and iOS5 devices - automatically from iOS devices by by dragging individual documents from a Mac to the iCloud website (and the cannot be re-downloaded until they have been edited on an iOS device)
Each of these can be turned on or off on each device; you cannot selectively sync within one data type - i.e. it's all or no Contacts, not a selection, and so on.

Calendars "From My Mac" and "MobileMe"

Now in the calendars categories have both if you use MobileMe, "From My Mac" and "MobileMe" calendars.
If show all calendars then look like all sync and duplicated twice.
What can I do?

Hi Yu,
Yes, I did this too. For me, it was due to the fact that on the info tab in iTunes, I had ticked the 'Sync Address Book' and 'Sync iCal Calendars' options. You don't need these ticked, if you already sync over the air with MobileMe, unless you want duplicates on your iPhone.
To correct this I:
1) Un-ticked these options in iTunes (this didn't remove the duplicates though, even after a sync), so...
2) Deleted my MobileMe account from my iPhone in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars (don't worry, your data is stored in the cloud)
3) Re-added my MobileMe account on my iPhone. As soon as my MobileMe credentials had been verified, the phone identified that the contacts and calendars that I was downloading from MobileMe already existed on my phone (synced from my Mac), and it gave me the option to Merge these with my MobileMe data. I chose the option to merge, and as soon as that was done (took a few seconds), I was back to one set of MobileMe data, and no duplicates.
Sorted...
Hope that helps.
Chris.

Viewing calendar in .Mac

I’m new to both iCal and .Mac so I apologize if this has been covered many times before.
Is there some way to look at and modify my calendar on my .Mac account that doesn't involve publishing it to the web?
I’d like to keep certain events private but still be able to view them and add others over the web with some sort of password protection. Using my .Mac account seems the ideal way to go, but I don’t see any way to do it.
I know that I can sync the calendars between two Macs, but I’d like to be able to have access from non-Macs and to do it with computers that are public.

No you cannot do that, ical calendars can only be published through syncing with .mac, or can be synced with another mac for viewing/editing, again via .mac.
If you are interested in sharing an ical calendar with others via the web and have these people either view/edit or view only, then you may want to look at spanning sync - www.spanningsync.com - which will let you sync ical with google calendar. for that you will have to create an account with google and set up google calendars, that's free by the way. spanning sync is not free - am not an owner nor a employee of spanning sync, but am a user, and it works quite well for me.
hope this helps

IPhone calendar + List View All Calendars option (MobileMe)

Hi all,
I'm trying to fix a problem, which maybe there for some time already, in the iPhone Calendar. I'm using MobileMe to sync contacts and appointments. All my devices are up-to-date to the latest levels of firmware and software.
I have a normal calendar in iCal and some subscribed calendars. Ther's no difference in both type of calendars.
This is what's happening.....
- Individual calendars are all looking perfect in List, Week and Month view.
- All Calendar option is looking good in Week and Month view.
- All Calendar option is bad in List view mode.
When selecting the last option the Today date is changed a couple of days (Today = Wednesday 10-3), but also appointments are on different days. For example the soccer games on Saturday (6-3) and Sunday (7-3) are now changed to Tuesday (9-3) and Wednesday (10-3).
I have the same calendar on my other iPhone and nothing weird going on over there?!?
Does somebody have a clue?
PS. The calendars for this (MobileMe) user are all correct on the other Apple devices.
Thanks!
Regards,
Arjon G. Stelinga

Hi All,
Got a message from cini007, but I get an error message when I want to reply to that message. I have copied the "solution" below.
I have tried this, but it's not working. The only thing happening is it has changed the dates randomly.
Although I have been looking for the auto shut-off option. I can't find that option only in the alarm clock options?
cini007 posted "Re: iPhone calendar + List View All Calendars option (MobileMe)" in "iPhone calendar + List View All Calendars option (MobileMe)" on Mar 9, 2010 8:20:57 AM.
I had Genius Bar visit with same issue—no go (was advised to reset to factory settings).
BUT here is the SOLUTION as it happened again:
1. set auto shut-off to never
2. turn OFF MobileMe syncing for calendars on the iPhone (from Settings menu)
3. wait for calendar entries to be removed—takes minutes if you have several calendars
4. hard reset iPhone (press Home and On/Off at the same time for >5 seconds), and wait 2 minutes (about the time to reboot)
5. restart iPhone
6. turn ON MobileMe syncing for calendars on the iPhone (again, from Settings menu)

Pocketmac deleted calendar entries on mac and won't sync events with BB Storm.

I just removed the google sync from my Storm and now Pocketmac is not syncing properly. Basically all my calendar events are still on my Storm (luckily) however pocketmac has now wiped all calendar entries from Entourage! I have tried re-syncing with BB overwrites Mac however this only places one long calendar event (months long) with strange characters in the name (i.e. garbage).
Does anybody have a suggestion for me to try to get my calendar entries back into Entourage and for Pocketmac to properly sync?

What happened is that when you deleted google sync it also most likely deleted the google calendar on your storm and put all of your calendar entries into the Storm's "DEFAULT CALENDAR"
Unfortunately, the default calendar will NOT sync with anything (one of my frustrations with my BB 8320).
Fixing it is somewhat complicated, but this is what I had to do.
Back up your storm with Desktop Manager
Go to Options>Advanced Options>Default Services and set your default calendar to your e-mail address and and your messaging to the same e-mail address
Sync your storm with your calendar (hopefully you have a backup on your computer)
Look at your calendar -- you should have duplicate entries of almost everything, this is OK.
In the calendar hit the applications key (blackberry key) and go to SELECT CALENDAR and select "default Calendar". This will only show you what's in the default calendar and not the new one you just synced.
Go to Date 12/31/2035 -- yes 2035. This should take you to the bottom of the calendar -- I usually do this in Agenda View
Highlight the last date that you have in the calendar and hit the menu key and select DELETE PRIOR ITEMS. This should delete everything in the default calendar.
Now you should have single entries for most of your calendar items. However, there many still be some duplicates, usually recurring items, and these have to be deleted manually.
This is what worked for me
That's what I needed to do, and now it seems to be working fine.

No more "View Calendar on .Mac" ???

I am unable to find the feature called "View Calendar on .Mac" that existed in Tiger? Where is this now? I can't locate my cal on the web.
David

David,
where exactly are you control clicking?
It is apparent that we are not looking in the same location, or the contextual menu has changed between iCal 2.0 and iCal 3.0.
I am looking/clicking on the iCal application "Calendars" source pane.
Perhaps you can point me in the right direction. If you talking about the .Mac web page, I have never seen that choice in that location.
Try sending yourself a "Publish" email. Select the calendar and choose Calendar>Send Publish Email... That should present you with the proper format to use for viewing in any web browser. The email will list:
1. You can view my calendar at:
2. You can subscribe to my calendar at:
;~)

Calendar Syncing (MobileMe *AND* Sync iCal)

I normally sync my calendar through MobileMe. I 'accidentally' turned on 'sync iCal calendars' in the iPhone info tab on iTunes (v9). This duplicated all my appointments. I have turned it off in iTunes but the duplicate calendar remains on my iPhone. Is there a way to delete the 'On My iPhone' calendar?

I copy pasted from this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10418025&#10418025
"I figured it out. Basically you want to turn off your calendars on your iphone, inside settings, inside mail, calendars, email, and from there it's found by clicking on your me or mac.com mail account. Sync. Then turn it back on. It will ask you if you want to merge. You do. Then your extra calendars should disappear."
I had the same problem as you have (had) the method above did work for me.
Cheers,
Ivan

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

HT1386 I am unable to get a two way calendar sync with my iPhone 4s and my mac's ical. iTunes syncs my mac's calendar to the phone, but not the other way. I do not use iCloud and I cannot find any menu for removing sync history as described by others.

I have spent 3 hours trying to get my ical updated on my mac with events added to my iphone calendar. Itunes will sync the calendars from the mac to the phone, but not vice versa. I have read every post which relates to this problem, but I do not use iCloud, there is no iSync app on my mac, and there is no menu to delete sync history under system preferences. My mac is fairly new and is running Mac OS X 10.7.4. I tried to delete the iphone from itunes and start over, but can't even do that. Now what? Any advice short of throwing both devices out the window?

For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3:
If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:
if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
Choose Reset Sync Services.
Click Reset Sync History.
Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

Publishing a calendar to dot mac in month view

Is there a way to publish a calendar to dot mac so that it shows up in month view instead of week view? Perhaps a modification of the URL ....
Thanks in advance

Yes, I know you can change the view once the page loads. I was just hoping you could display the month view as a default. Maybe something will change when Leopard come out next week.

I want to upgrade my phone to the 4 or 4s. My macs are still running Tiger. If I bought an iPad 2, could I sync everything to it from the 4 without using a Mac at all, and then be able to iCloud my calendar and contacts, etc?

You don't need a computer to activate a new iOS device anymore. Anything with iOS 5 can be activated over a WiFi network (or cellular if that applies).
