Daylite and iCal not communicating - An official word from Apple

I spoke to Tier 2 support at Apple today on behalf of one of my clients, The Keva Dine Agency. Here's what the Apple rep told me. "Engineering is aware of it and they are working on it. The answer may come as a software update or a Kbase article." I'll keep you informed as I know more.  

So I wanted to spell out here what is going on with it so you are aware of it and can deal with it. 

Daylite to/from Truth database is working fine. 

Mobile Me to/from Truth database is working fine. 

iPhone to/from Truth database is working fine.

AddressBook to/from Truth database is working fine

iCal to Truth Database is fine.

iCal from Truth Database is broken. Sometimes it might work, sometimes not. Mostly not!

THE SOLUTION:

If you have a 3g iPhone set up mobile me syncing, you will be golden. Just ignore iCal.

If you have an older iPhone or you rely on iCal you will have to wait for Apple to fix the problem. 

There is a work around, but it has to be done onsite in root. I am not about to make that publicly available because it is very dangerous even for me to do and even if we do the work around, there are no guarantees it will work. 

Sync Services shutting down in Daylite - An official word from MarketCircle. 

I chatted with Marketcircle today and was made aware of the following: The engineers discovered a problem with syncing turning itself off when users are syncing AND have Offline databases. It's been fixed for the next release of Daylite.

In the mean time there's a workaround for users that are currently experiencing this problem via a script. Let me know if you are having these sorts of issues and I will pass on the instructions and the script. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, you can schedule a time for me to help you with it. Or you can just wait for the next version for the issue to resolve itself.
