OF -> iCal not working

[aaffleck]

Nothing in OF is showing up in iCal (I ran a sneaky peak a long time ago so maybe old data is gumming up the works? I removed everything in App Support and started over again but still no love). Also, in another thread someone suggested removing subscribed calendars fixed it for them. Tried that and a lot of old stuff that was long since marked complete in iCal showed up in my OF inbox suddenly but nothing in OF went to iCal still.

So... I'm at a loss. Anything else I can try?

Just a thought ... Since you haven't used OF in a while, there's a new sync preferences panel where contexts are mapped to calendars.

[aaffleck]

Yes, I already mapped them to appropriate calendars.

Same here, action items in OF do not show up in iCal. Yes, I mapped OF context to iCal calendar.

When I first opened OmniFocus and tabbed to the Sync pref pane I saw a slew of old, previously deleted calendars. After a little digging I found this article outlining how to reset the SyncServices folder (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306484) and that cleared up the old calendars problem. For others having this problem all you do is open terminal and paste in this command. /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync.pl full

Unfortunately after clearing out all the kruft, OmniFocus won't sync. Nothing shows up in iCal. I have no idea if this issue existed before I reset syncservices since I didn't try beforehand, but I thought I'd include it just in case.

I'm also running Spanning Sync (which syncs iCal calendars to Google Calendar) and it's had its share of issues in 10.5 as well, but seems to be functioning fine right now.

EDIT: I uninstalled Spanning Sync. No change. Then I ran across this forum post (http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=5588&highlight=iCal+sync) which recommended assigning all contexts to a calendar. Still no change. iCal refuses to sync and I get no error message at all. OmniFocus seems to think everything is fine.

Same Problem Here....

That fixed the problem for me. Now OF <-> iCal is working just fine.

Thanks!

Thanks I got it working after resetting sync preferences. This has been bugging me for a week now.

Tried all the above offerings and now get this:

I restarted twice and then things started working again, except all dates are a day behind, ie, 'today' events show up as 'yesterday' in iCal.

I also get the wrong date when syncing OF to iCal - dates in iCal are a day early. After syncing a second time I get a sync conflict between the two items with different dates.

(Could this be an international issue - I'm in Australia)

The problem doesn't come up when syncing iCal to OF.

[tastiger]

I'm in Australia too — that could be the clue!

followed the suggestion and it took care of my sync issues in leopard. now if only the iPhone had To-Dos....
