Planbook 2.6.4 (iCal Syncing Updates)
Apple recently made changes to the MobileMe calendaring system. While there are many positive changes (the interface is great), breaking Planbook’s (and many other applications) syncing to iCal (and eventually MobileMe) was not one of them. There’s no good way to enable syncing to MobileMe using the new interface, but here’s a way that will work.
- Go into iCal.
- Delete the calendars in iCal that were previously created by Planbook. Make note of the exact names of your calendars.
- Use the File–>New menu item to create a new calendar (in your mobile me account) with the exact name of your courses as well as the default Planbook calendars. You should have saved these prior to deleting the old calendars
- Open Planbook and do a full sync to iCal
Remember, you do not need to do any of this if you just want Planbook to show up in your local iCal. These changes must be made if you want to have your lesson plans show up in your MobileMe account.
Bug reports have been filed with Apple regarding this and I hope the issue will be resolved in a future OS X update.
