Got a new MBPro and am experiencing difficulty syncing my existing MobileMe calendar with the iCal on the MBPro. Tried some of the suggestions in previous posts and forums, but nothing seems to be working.

Anybody got any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. I've got a mini, my 12" powerbook and my iPhone all work flawlessly together. Just got my new Macbook pro and I keep getting "Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent data" There is no data on my new computer.

Simply select to overwrite mobileme data with PC.

If you have vital stuff on mobileme. Then back it up first and then sync and then re-add from to ical or contacts.

No issues from then on.

Thank you
So first I had just done a fresh sync from my mini to Mobile Me and I thought that would be enough. I then chose to overwrite Mobile Me calendar from mini and then overwrite new 13.3 calender from Mobile Me and that worked like a charm. That is the first time I've ever had any problem with syncing not working.
Thanks again for your help.

Where is the selection for overwriting mobileme? I cannot seem to find it. I have my iphone and mbp in sync, but would like to push up the contacts to MM, and then have everything sync over the air with mobileme. But, I cannot find the PUSH to mobileme function.
