TICKET ARCHIVE -> Ical Won't Sync With Both Computers

tomarge - Aug 15, 2005 - 3:03 pm

I have an iMac and an iBook and they used to sync the calendar between them. Now when iSync runs, nothing happens. I am running Tiger on both machines. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

First off a few questions for you ...
Did you recently upgrade to Tiger ?? Are you up to 10.4.2 ??
If so the sync functions are now controlled in your System
Preferences .Mac section. Go to your System Preferences and
select .Mac. You should then see a top menu bar of "Account, Sync,
iDisk, and Advanced". Click on Sync. There you should be able
to configure your items you want synced, i.e. Bookmarks, Calendars, etc.
Verify that your calendars are checked.
And I like to check the box at the bottom of the Sync control panel
"Show status in menu bar" so you can sync in the future straight from
there. Let me know how this goes and we'll proceed to other steps if
need be.

Thanks for using macosx.com !

Best,
Brian

Hi Brian,

Thanks for getting back to me. I finally got it to work by deleting one of the calendar files and replacing it with the other computer's calendar folder. It turns out that I had multiple "computers" registered with isync and that I think was throwing it off. I deleted all the extraneous computers and it worked. Thanks for the help. Good luck!

Tom
