Apple have created a new version of the calendar section of MobileMe. Currently, it's an optional update for MobileMe users, but we're sure that it won't be long until everyone's account gets upgraded automatically.
If you are syncing your copy of Light Blue to an iCal calendar that is part of your MobileMe account, you will end up with duplicate events in your calendar if you upgrade your MobileMe calendar without preparing properly. If you want to start using the new MobileMe calendar with Light Blue, here's what to do:
1) Go to the 'Calendars' panel of the Settings screen in Light Blue and switch off the 'Auto-publish' option in the iCal section.
2) Update your MobileMe calendar via the MobileMe website.
3) Wait for MobileMe to finish populating your new calendars. Future and recent events are being transferred quickly at the moment, but older events can take several hours before they appear again. Do not carry on with these steps until your old events have reappeared.
4) Delete the calendar you've dedicated to Light Blue from iCal.
5) Create a new calendar for Light Blue in iCal.
6) Back in the 'Calendars' panel of the Settings screen in Light Blue, click the 'Reset sync data' button. If you've changed the name of the calendar your syncing to in iCal, update it now. Then click the 'Sync with iCal' button again to populate the new calendar in iCal.
7) Finally, if you want to use the 'Auto-publish' option, switch it back on again.
