Won't sync calender with mobileme "inconsistent data error message"

I have tried about everything that I can think of but can't seem to solve this problem.
I have a new Macbook Pro and have been using mobileme and ical for some time now. I can't get my Macbook Pro to sync with mobileme ical. It does sync with the address book, but when it gets to the ical portion it tries and then reports "can't sync due to inconsistent data on this computer. Correct data and resync calender".
I have no idea what the "inconsistent data" is. My computer gets its time from apple.com and the time/date is correct. What is the inconsistent data. My calender and schedule is a critical issue. Please help.

Errors in syncing can happen for all sorts of reasons - loss of network connectivity, for instance - and it might be necessary to reset the synced data from a reliable source. It's not talking about deleting anything - unless you have data on your new computer that you need to retain.
The document says that if you have this problem on your new machine, you probably need to overwrite that local data with data from MobileMe.
Personally, I've never lost any data with dotmac or MobileMe, so my experience is it can be relied on. I do, however, keep backups of all my data as well.

  • Address Book won't sync with MobileMe - inconsistent data!

    I recently began getting 'Inconsistent Data' messages when I sync with MobileMe for my Address Book. I have always had an auto sync and never had this issue. I am told to reset the MobileMe data from another computer - which I have tried to do but with similar error results.
    My most recent data is on MobileMe...I have so far failed to sync this data set with what's on my Mac Platforms.
    I have tried to resort to merge data or erase data on this computer from the sync options dialogue box, but still end up with "inconsistent data. Try resetting your data on MobileMe".
    I'm afraid that if I did that, then I will lose all my current data on MobileMe - which is the most recent, since most of my input for my contacts is made directly from my iPhone or iPad (both of which are syncing correctly).
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I have the exact same problem but have not been able to get my computers to sync with contacts although my iphone and Ipad are working perfectly. I tried deleting all my contacts in both mobileme and locally and tried to sync but was unsuccessful and still get the inconsistent data message. I hope someone can help us.

  • Problems with syncing calender with MobileMe after upgrading to v2..01

    Hello everyone,
    I am using MobileMe with my iPhone and everything worked well. Mail, contacts, calender push-synced beautifully after the initial MobileMe hickups were sorted out.
    I upgraded to v2.01 today and everything worked fine, except that my calenders don't sync properly. All my calender events are pushed 7 hours back when synced to my iPhone. This is only on the iPhone. Calender in MobileMe and on my Macbook show the correct times.
    Suggestion or advice would be aprreciated!
    Carlo

    I went to an apple store and nobody could tell me a way to proceed. They said that Yosemite just came out and it is too early for them to know and they need time to figure it out One of them mentioned an update that would be ready for today but he didn't seem so convinced. I read somewhere that signing out of iCloud on the other device (Ipad in that particular case) and signing back in worked for him, but I still haven't made that move yet...afraid of loosing the organization pattern I created with my documents with pages in my Ipad and a afraid of the posible scnario of having to move my word documents manually to pages just the way I have it now. For now I think it is prudent to wait to see if apple solves this, but in the long term something needs to be done cause iCloud for me with pages is useless right now. I hope this inspires a solution for you and you get your music back ASAP. I have faith in the apple guys...I hope they will fix this soon. Good Luck!!

  • Syncing iphone with windows 7 contacts - error message outlook.pst not foun

    I have set set up ITunes to sync my Iphone GS with Windows Contacts. When I sync I get an error message :
    The file c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\Outlook.pst could not be found
    Sometimes the error message comes up 2 or 3 times.
    Secondly, my Iphone is syncing with something because an old version of my windows address book is now on my iphone. Of course if I add a new contact to Windows Contacts, it does not appear on my iphone.
    I dont have Outlook installed on my PC. It was removed, but I guess I do have an old outlook.pst file from my old times with Windows XP.
    So how does Itunes manage the sync and how can I stop it syncing with my old address book and use Windows Contacts? I have tried resetting my sync history but it did not work.
    I am running Windows7 (upgrade from Vista).

    I am also having issues with syncing my Iphone 3GS with the latest version on Itunes. I have for a long while now been doing just great. My contacts, phone numbers, emails have all synced very nicely, no problems. As soon as I downloaded the new Itunes 9.1 I can no longer sync contacts, and calendars, as usual.
    I tried several things that were suggested to me in the troubleshooting but nothing has helped. It usually tells me that my computer is not set up for syncing, and after arranging that it still doesn't work. As well, it says it cannot find the requested services.
    Please help.
    I am running windows 7, and have been for a while, it's not windows 7, it's the new Itunes upgrade.

  • Recently downloaded latest version of iTunes software, afterwards, while trying to sync iphone with PC received this error message: Unable to Load Resource not found; SyncUICoreLocalized.dll; please advise, thank you

    Recently upgraded PC with latest edition of iTunes (1/30/2014), afterwards, received this error message while attempting to sync iphone with PC: Unable to load, resource not found, SyncUICoreLocalized.dll

    THIS HAS EVERY APPEARANCE OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH BY APPLE ... So first suggestion is NOT to begin reinstalling various software but to await some answer & fix from Apple.  Too many have same problem on various systems, in my view (I am not an Apple rep but have certainly faced many glitches over the years).
    PS - LOTS of Apple software problems these days, including many people having their Contacts shredded.  What's going on with Apple?

  • My Older IPod won't sync all of sudden.. gives error message

    My Ipod used to sync just fine, but I hadn't used it for a few weeks and when I went to sync, it wouldn't.  I've made sure that all the software was updated and even reset my Ipod so it was just like when I bought it.  It started to sync but would only sync 1700 of my 7000 soungs... each time I plug it in, it says its syncing, it will only sync about 50 songs before I get an error message that says..  The IPod "Solymar IPod" cannot be synced.  A duplicate file name specified.  and then another error message that says... Attempting to copy to the disk "Solymars I" failed.  An unknown error occurred (-69).     It also says that there are 2 Devices plugged, my IPod and IPad, but my IPad isn't plugged in.   HELP!!!  And thank you!!

    Hey solymarmarengo,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource lists your error message as a symptom of issues with third-party plug-ins, it may provide a resolution:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
    There are several ways an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
    - You see this alert while syncing: "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."

  • ITouch won't sync/play thru iTunes after update, error message displayed

    I recently updated to the newest iTunes software program on my Windows XP, and ever since I haven't been able to play my iTouch music through iTunes. I have tried reinstalling iTunes, but to no success.
    Every time after I download, I open up iTunes to play music from my iTouch thru iTunes, but am presented with this error message (it has no number, just a small box with iTunes logo at the top and a yellow error triangle): "This iPod could not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again." This is now the 3rd time to have completely removed iTunes, restarted the computer, redownloaded iTunes and again restarted my computer without any success.
    Any ideas or help?

    Small update.....I took my Touch to the Genius Bar yesterday, told them about the issue and they just gave me a new Touch. That's awesome and all, but I still have the problem. I guess it's on my computers end but what I don't understand is why does it work once, then never again?? Help?!?!?

  • My iPhone 5 ios7, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32

    My iPhone 5 ios7.0.3, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32.
    The Sync starts and finsihes but no changes are made to the content on the iphone. No files transfer. Tried both wifi and cable sync.

    Sorry, but this doesn't work either.  Thank you for the response though.
    I originally tried the Manually Manage Music and Videos and even though I selected what I wanted to copy and then clicked the Sync button.....nothing gets copied over.   I then tried copying over my entire library (and I expected the phone to explode since my library is HUGE) and clicked the Sync button....nothing got copied over.
    I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (and lost half my library thank you Apple).
    I have deleted my iPhone backup.
    I have updated my iTunes (not that there were any new updates).
    I have updated my iPhone (not that there were any new updates).
    I have changed and tested every single setting, every which way possible and NOTHING works.
    I can sync movies, pictures, apps - no problem whatsoever.  But music?  Forget it.
    I hate the iPhone and I won't recommend it to ANYONE.  All I wanted was an all-in-one device to make my life easier and this is NOT IT!  This should not be this hard and as far as I'm concerned, Apple failed BIG TIME.

  • Problems with iPhone 3G Activation , Error Message (-50), Need HELP!!!!!!!!

    Hi,

    No need to SHOUT. The cable is the one used to connect your iPhone to your PC. Suggest getting another one.
    The problem may be that you're using USB to connect to the internet. It's too slow and will cause problems when you have other high speed USB connections. Use an Ethernet connection to your modem/router. For additional troubleshooting, see these Apple support articles:

    When I attempt to sync my nano I get an error message: "The ipod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."

    This is getting frustrating.  Every example of my problem has the same reply:

    I have NO photos on my Ipod Nano.  I select "Photos" and the Ipod goes to a blank screen with the msg "No Photos" at the bottom.  There must be some other file missing.  Itunes won't connect to the Ipod, I keep getting the same error over and over.  It would be nice if it told me what file is missing.

    Hello,
    Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

  • My iPhoto won't open keeps on giving me an error message and my microsoft office two

    my iPhoto won't open keeps on giving me an error message and my microsoft office two

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )
