MobileMe iCal push?

andyroberts · 13 Jul 2008 at 17:13

Okay so I've added an entry to iCal using mobileme, and its updated my iCal on the iMac but when is it going to push out this new entry to my iPhone and how is it going to do it? It updated the iMac about 6 hours ago.

Thanks

Andy

Have you set mobile me to sync calenders on you mac and your iphone?

Its all working on my account.

This is quite interesting, working out how it works.

I edited an entry in my iCal at 18:10, when I look at the MobileMe notification in the menu bar, it shows my last sync was at 18:00 so it's not updated my edit yet.

When I look at the Sync tab in MobileMe, all the boxes are checked except Notes and Entourage Notes and it's set to sync automatically.

I expected changes to sync pretty much instantly.

It synched out at 18:30 from the computer and turned up on my iPod Touch a couple of minutes later.

Far from instant.

Yes checked again, its turned on on the iMac and iPhone, does it have to be connected to a wireless network or does it connect via EDGE?

I've googled this and it seems to be a common problem at the moment, iCal stuff not synchronising as quickly as it should.

Email seems pretty instant, if my Touch is on then it gets emails through quicker than my instance of Mail on the computer, I have Mail set to check every 10 minutes.
