Subject: OS X 10.7.4 Breaks iCal, Spanning Sync Sales Suspended

To our great disappointment, the Mac OS X 10.7.4 update introduced a severe
bug in iCal that prevents Spanning Sync from functioning correctly. This
bug also affects other sync apps including BusySync<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/busymac/bizHwZ0fMXs>
 and Blackberry Sync<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3958312?start=0&tstart=0>.
It's unclear whether Apple intends to fix this bug.

Larry, Byron, and I don't want anyone paying for something that doesn't
work, so we've decided to take the drastic step of temporarily suspending
Spanning Sync sales. Of course, we'll continue to offer service to current
subscribers. Once we fully understand how this issue affects the future of
Spanning Sync, we'll post an update here.

We sincerely appreciate your support. Please contact us as
supp...@spanningsync.com if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Charlie

For those currently running into this problem, we've heard that there's a
workaround, provided that you have an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch):

1. Connect the iOS device to your Mac
2. Open iTunes and select the device in the sidebar
3. Select the Info tab
4. Turn on calendar syncing and sync at least one calendar. (Create a
"dummy" calendar if you don't want to sync any of your real calendars.)
5. Sync the iOS device with iTunes

Now iCal should be able to sync with Spanning Sync again.

Obviously this isn't an option for everyone, but for those of you with an
iPhone looking for a solution NOW, it might get you back up and running.

Aaargh!  If nothing else, as always, thank you for the straight story!
 Apple, of course, has nothing and Google is no-one so I've been struggling
with this for days.

Sincere thanks!

Subject: Re: OS X 10.7.4 Breaks iCal, Spanning Sync Sales Suspended

So this is why the Spanning Sync preference pane states that my paid
subscription expires September 1, 2012 instead of (the actual expiration
date) June 26, 2012?  Good to know.

Also, I've not experienced any problems syncing contacts and calendar
events - or at least none that I've noticed.  Would someone be able to
provide a brief description of the insidious bug so that I can keep an eye
out for any problems?  I've done a search of the forums and not been able
to find a concrete answer as to what problems are being caused by the bug.

Thanks.

I bought Spanning Synch and paid with PayPay on June 14.  The license code
I received didn't work.  Now we know the product is not going to work, so
how do I get the charges reversed?

Hi Ali,

The short answer is that iCal is no longer reporting changes or
additions that are made so we can't sync them to Google.  As Larry
stated above, if you sync an iDevice with the computer through iTunes
(at least one calendar), it seems to resolve the problem somehow.  If
you're syncing an iPhone or iPod with iTunes that would explain why
you're not experiencing the problem.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Byron

Hi Al,

Spanning Sync has never used a license key or code.  Are you referring
to Spanning Tools for Mac, which does use a license key?  If so, can
you please send us an email to supp...@spanningsync.com and include
the email address the license should be associated with?

Thanks,

Byron

This is what happened to me.  I resolved it by resetting Apple Sync
Services.  Hold down the ALT key, click on the circular arrows in the top
bar, and then Reset Sync Services.

Larry,

Thank you. This worked for me. Do I need to sync with my Ipod on a regular
basis in order for this to continue working, or is this a one-time sync?

I am so sorry this has happened to you guys!! Thanks for your honesty and
great customer support.

Resetting Apple Sync worked for me, although if I delete something from my iClod calendar it doesn't delete from Google.

Any ideas anyone..?

I don't use iCloud or MobileMe, so I had to do some extra work to reset
Sync Services.  This page <https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627> gave me the
info I needed.  I executed the command line/Python script mentioned in step
10 under *Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X Lion.

*Spanning Sync is now spanning and synching my Mac and Google contacts and
calendars.

We also noticed that resetting Sync Services or replacing the sync database
appeared to resolve the issue, but the bug comes back after the initial
sync is successful.  The only way we know that actually appears to work
around the bug is by syncing an iDevice with at least one calendar through
iTunes.

OK, so we know about the iCal issue and temporary workaround.  Does any of
this affect syncing Contacts?

Thanks,

I can get calendars to sync correctly.  However, contacts does not sync at
all.

This worked great for me.  Didn't even have to mess with the iPad or iPhone
like some described.  Appears to be working 2 day.
I did have to reset the service twice (not sure why) before it all seemed
to kick in.

I added my daughter's iPhone to my Mac and followed the directions below.
 It seems to have worked.  I immediately got a message stating Spanning
Sync wanted to make changes.  I haven't seen that dialog box in awhile.

I just made a change in Outlook on my calendar and it changed in Google
calendar.  I then changed the Google calendar appointment but it hasn't
changed yet in Outlook.  Hopefully it will soon.

Thanks,

I use Spanning Sync for Address Book syncing only (not calendars), and it
is not working at all for me right now. I've already sent in a support

Unfortunately, something "snapped" the other day and I ended up
unintentionally deleting my whole calendar.  Thank goodness there wasn't a
lot to recreate, but I've switched to my Mac's iCal, mail and address book
until further notice.
