Why is ical not syncing since installing Lion?

Since installing Lion on July 29th, nothing new from my iPhone4's iCal has synced to my computer's iCal as it usually does. I see by other discussions, no answers so far. But just in case, I wanted to post as well.

Tongue in cheek: Perhaps it was designed to work just as it was designed to look. Like some old desk calendar with a leather frame and torn off pages. Syncing? What's that?

ICal, contacts not syncing since Mountain Lion upgrade

Greetings,
I upgraded my iMac directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago. Since then, Apple pushed OSX 10.8.1 which is what I am currently running.
Since upgrading to 10.8, my iTouch (software: 4.2.1) is not syncing properly. I'm having problems with both Contacts and iCal.
Contacts does not sync at all.
The iCal issue is strange. iCal appears to sync, but everything that was previously on the calendar and everything I enter into the calendar on my iMac cannot be edited on my iTouch. If I create a new iCal entry on the iTouch, I can edit it on both the iTouch and iMac.
I've googled Mountain Lion-related sync issues and have seen a lot of discussions related to this. But I haven't come across a solution that fixes my problems.
Before I upgraded the iMac to Mountain Lion, the syncs were flawless.
I feel like I've been sucked back into PC ****.
I don't live near an Apple store, and the few independent Apple dealerships nearby haven't been able to help.
Can anyone help? Is Apple working on a fix to this?
Thanks and regards,
Jerry

I'm having a similar issue too since upgrading to 10.8.1 on my iMac and MacBook Pro.
My contacts are no longer syncing and my groups have gone missing.
Occasionally the Contacts indicates it can't complete the process because of a coreDAVerror.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Mark

Why does ical not sync to MobileMe?

Since Lion, iCal is syncing only the first 4-5 events after adding the MobileMe Account.
After that, the syncing whell is running endless.
Specs are:
MobileMe:
6 x Calendars, 5 are published and shared with other Mac Users
Shared with other Users:
3 x Calendars
Abonemment:
2 x Calendars (Birthday by system and Calendar week)
Replicate problem:
I erased the entire account from iCal and from MobileMe on the Mac as well. After that I added the Mobile Me Account and the MobileMe Account at iCal. iCal synced all events accuratley but after the creation of further 4-5 events, iCal hangs by a running wheel to sync to Mobile Me. I can create further Events but it doesn't make sense, because the events will not be synced through mobiel me for my other iOS devices like iPohne and iPad.
Events created in iOS via iPhone or iPad will be synced between those devices through MobileMe but iCal doesn't sync.
Who knows help. Remember: I did erase the entire account and set it up new: doesn't help.
Comments?

Hi All
The MobileMe senior advisor resolved my problem! Thanks so much Cxxxx!
Here the instructions:
1. Open Terminal and use this command to copy the Calendars folder from ~/Library to your Desktop:
cp -r ~/Library/Calendars ~/Desktop
2. Open Disk Utility and create a new Disk Image from the Calendars folder on your Desktop by selecting File > New > Disk Image from Folder and then choosing the Calendars folder on your Desktop.
3. Save the new Disk Image to your Desktop as well.
4. Double-click the Calendars.dmg to open it.
5. In the new window that appears choose View > Show Toolbar from the Finder View menu.
6. In the Search field on the Toolbar enter "%" (without quotation marks).
7. Select "Filename contains %" when prompted by the Search pop-up.
8. Make sure the Search location is set to Calendars.
9. Then open the ICS files returned in a text editor such as BBEdit or TextEdit.
10. Locate the SUMMARY field (that's the event name).
11. Note the affected event name(s) in a text editor.
12. Lookup the affected events one by one in iCal. Note the date of the events in the same document that has the name(s).
13. Quit iCal when all the event dates are collected.
14. Go to me.com/calendar
15. Delete all iterations of matched events from me.com/Calendar
Once the problematic events have been deleted, you will then be able to sync to your iCal application without issue. Once syncing has been restored, you can then add back any events that you need to.
Hope that helps!
Life is good again

IPod Classic will not sync since installed iTunes 11

iPod Classic will not sync properly since installed new iTunes. Always stops at or around song 2 and just hangs there, even if left all night. Tried restoring the iPod, made no difference. Tried syncing just some songs, sometimes it will do 20 or so but not more than that - and I have 10,000 songs.
Saw something about problem with Winsock and reset that but no effect.
Recently been re-recording CDs in Apple Lossless with 'Convert to AAC' selected for iPod. Maybe the conversion process is causing the block? But it did not before.
I also tried moving the itunes material from the Synology NAS to the PC as I thought the processing power might be the problem. It synced once after that, now it is blocked again. Tonight I tried selecting only the original AAC files and it seems to have worked for them, my problem therefore seems to be the Apple Lossless - unless the syncing of AAC files is another one-off.
Not for the first time I wish I had not updated iTunes because it so often leads to problems of some kind. Why do they not care?
Any

Update: following successful sync of AAC files, I changed the setting to 'manual' for music & videos, used the View menu to restore the old sidebar, and manually added the Lossless files to the IPod. That actually seems to be working (very slowly). But it would be better if Sync worked as it should.

IPod not syncing since installing Windows 8.1

I've just installed Windows 8.1 (jumping up from Windows 7) on my PC. Installed iTunes, then plugged in my iPod. Sync never even started up, though iTunes did open when I plugged in the iPod. I checked under Devices and Printers and I see that there seem to be two instances of an iPod there - one under Devices, and one under Unspecified. When I unplug my iPod from the PC, the first instance disappears but the instance under Unspecified remains (it's called Apple Mobile Device USB Driver). The first instance, under Devices, calls itself "Apple iPod USB Device" and it returns when I plug the iPod back in, so that's the instance that seems to be associated with the actual iPod.
Apple iPod USB Device has a yellow exclamation point next to it, and when I check under Properties for it and and then check for Properties under the Hardware tab I see a "Windows is uninstalling this device (code 21) message. This message never goes away, and Windows never actually uninstalls it. I can choose uninstall, and have done so, but when I plug in my iPod again, all this simply comes back.
At one point earlier today, iTunes began to "sync," but what it was syncing to I have no idea, because the iPod remained exactly as it has been - no new songs, no message in its little window saying it was syncing or anything. The "sync" lasted quite a while, and then when it finally finished, absolutely nothing had changed in the iPod.
So, even though plugging in the iPod starts up iTunes, they're just not seeing/talking to each other.
I've run the iTunes diagnostic, and it says it finds the iPod, but it also says (with a green light next to it) no usb ports found and (with a green light next to it) no firewire (IEEE 1394) ports found. It says All Tests Passed.

I had the same symptoms and similar recreation steps.
Updating the Apple Mobile USB device driver spelled out in step #2 http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/ fixed the problem for me.

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Why since installed Lion on my IMac it happened many times that my computer freeze and I have to restart everything before something work again?

Why since installed Lion on my IMac it happened many times that my computer freeze and I have to restart everything before something work again?

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

Time machine not backing up since installing Lion

Since installing Lion, time machine get stuck "preparing for backup" but never goes through with it.
Need guidance. Thanks.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "backupd" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. Post the messages from the last backup, beginning with "Starting standard backup." Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

Since installing Lion the desktop view occassionally jumps to 'grid' view when I turn the computer on. Why? It is set to manual in the view menu.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!
