iSync: No writable calendar was found
I recently ran into the problem, that neither me nor my wife could sync the calendar between our Nokia N78 and our MACs using iSync. Searching for help, I found the following "archived" threads in the discussion forum:
--> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1579003&tstart=74
--> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1647744&tstart=1456
--> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1351592
None of those solution helped me, but I was lucky and could solve it my own. Since I cannot continue those old threads, I decided to bring this issue back to present with a new thread. May it is of help for anybody ...
Szenario:
I cannot check "iCal-Sync" in iSync. Error message is given in the subject of this and the old threads. I have a MobileMe account and it was about 2 Nokia N78 smartphones.
Solution:
I stopped iSync and iCal. Renamed/delete the following directories under <User_home>:
./Library/Application Support/SyncServices
./Library/Calendars
I started iCal again and after a moment all my entries got back from MobileMe to the local MAC. iSync allowed now to sync the calendar as well.
