3party calendar apps and invitations with iCal Server - Mac/PC enviro

We are a mixed OS company with macs and PCs. The macs are currently using iCal client software which is working great. However, our PC users are using Thunderbird-Lightning extension. In iCal or the web GUI, users get an invitation notification to accept or deny. Currently, with our thunderbird-lightning clients when they receive the meetings, it is automatically populated in their calendars without the option to accept or deny. Is there a way to fix this? Also when thunderbird-lightning clients try to email members to a meeting it will try to send to the UID and not the users email address, even it is defined in osx workgroup mng. Lastly we would like to add email notifications for all meetings, if possible.
What other windows calendar clients seem to work best with iCal Server? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
10.6.1 SL server, ical server.
10.5 and 10.6 mac users
Win XP with Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 + Lightning 0.9 users

Hi!
Have you had a look at eMClient? works with IMAP and CalDAV on Widows, even Windows 7, and is free.

  • IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

    Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
    Restarting iPhone
    Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
    Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
    This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
    I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
    I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

  • Which mail client do I use with iCal server?

    I will soon have os x server, and I want to use iCal server with mail. I want to schedule meetings, etc., like Exchange. However, many people have Outlook. Some have Entourage. Will these clients with with iCal for scheduling meetings and if not which client can I use? Thank you.

    Which Platform are the clients?
    Apple Mail does not work directly with iCal server. The Leopard version of iCal is what is used for scheduling. Mail is not like Outlook on PC or Entourage on the Mac where email, calendering and contacts are in one application. Leopard uses Mail, iCal, Address Book to provide similar functions.

  • What's a good calendar service to use with iCal on iPhone and mac?

    Sometime around iOS 7 and Mavericks updates, my Google calendar stopped playing nice with iCal on my phone. I'm wondering what other people are doing.
    I don't know whether it was Google or Apple that caused the issue, and I'm not too fussed either way, I just want to have something that works again.
    What does 'not playing nice' mean?
    I used to be able to create an appointment, add my wife as an invitee, and it would appear in her iCal.
    Now, it appears in her email, but not calendar. Clicking "yes" on the email loads safari instead of iCal. Then there's this whole log in thing. It's annoying.
    What I'd like
    Three things:
    1. I'd like my wife and I to each have a personal calendar. She should have read/write access to her calendar, and read-only to mine (and vice versa).
    2. I'd like a share calendar that we can both see and write to. We used this for family events.
    3. I'd like to be able to invite my wife to an event, and have that invite appear in iCal both on her phone and her mac.
    Everything should of course work well with iCal.
    I don't care if it works with Google services, although if there's a way to fix my google calendar so that it works right, I'm open to that.

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

  • Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

    Hi,
    I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
    Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
    Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
    This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
    Thanks!

    Hello whereizben,
    I see you have posted same post in another thread.  I have already replied to that posting with a solution.  Please see the following link for my reply:

  • Icloud with ical server

    I have been able to successfully set up icloud syncing with my mac and iphone with the "work" and other home based calendars.  However, I run a business and I have ical server running with my business calendards.  How do I get the ical server calendars on the icloud?

    It is impossible to sync your iCal Server contacts through iCloud.
    However, you can add your iCal account directly to your iPhone. Just go to Settings -> Mail, Contact & others -> Add account -> Other -> Add CalDAV account, and fill out the form with your iCal server detail.
    You need to be of course in the same LAN as your server to make the sync work, or make it "public" by forwarding CalDAV ports on your router/firewall. In the second case, make sure you connect only over SSL (port 443) and not the unsecured 80.

  • Syncing calendars using Outlook 2007 from iCal Server

    Hi,
    I would like to know the procedure to sync calendars using Outlook 2007 from iCal Server.
    I'm setting up Internet Calendar on Outlook 2007 from == Tools> Account Settings> Internet Calendars>New> Enter the URL and click on add button
    Post that, I'm getting an error:
    "Error: Cannot verify or add the Internet Calendar in Outlook. Verify the link is a valid calendar link:
    webcal://fully qualified domain name:8443/calendars/_uids_/Generated UID/Calendar"
    Looking forward some response soon.
    Thanks!!

    Hi!
    That is never going to work if you are looking for 2-way sync with iCal server. You need a 3rd party application to do that, like ical4ol or the open source Outlook sync plugin available here: http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html.
    Or alternatively, use another mail client like eMClient for mail and calendaring.

  • HT201272 My calendar app that came with the iphone4s disappeared?  How can I restore it?

    The calendar app that comes with the iPhone 4S disappeared.  How can I restore it?

    Plug your phone into your computer and pull a back up if you have on from itunes.
    Also verify you phone is using the correct software 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 Iphones are known for "losing" things when software becomes out of date.
    If that doesn't work then I'd advised doing a a factory reset. Make sure you back up your phone to itunes first.
    Does anything else not work or acting strange?

  • Sync data between third-party contacts and calendar apps, and the native apps, in 10.9.3+?

    I've had to refrain from updating my Mac Pro from 10.8.5 to 10.9 owing to the removal of SyncServices.  I then read that SyncServices was re-introduced on a limited basis in 10.9.3. 
    It seems unlikely, but I'd like to know whether or not SyncServices in 10.9.3 re-enables the syncing of data between third-party contacts & calendar apps and the native apps, and thereby enables syncing of contacts and calendar info between third-party apps and iOS devices over USB via iTunes.  This is the method I use exclusively by choice in 10.8.5, and I will not change it to a cloud-based solution under any circumstances.
    If it is not possible, is there a third-party workaround?  My calendar app on the Mac Pro at the moment is BusyCal, syncing with Week Cal on the iPhone, but I'll happily buy a new combo of apps if it means I can upgrade to Mavericks and retain USB syncing.
    EDIT: a solution which permits syncing of a third-party calendar app on the Mac Pro with a third-party calendar app on the iPhone over an ad-hoc wireless network would also be acceptable, I suppose.

    Well, that's pretty disappointing.  I guess Apple believes Internet is free and everywhere.

  • I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now' I cannot write on my Contacts or Calendar apps, and my Pages app (purchased) has lost the ability to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to fix these

    I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
    If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
    the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
    That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was.

  • IPhone Calendar Changes not Syncing with ICal

    Additions and changes to my iPhone calendar are not synced with ICal on my Mac. Syncing the other direction (adding or changing appointments on my Mac) works, but nothing I change or add on my iPhone appears on my Mac (the same seems to be true of contacts and notes). I have the same problem with an iPod touch.
    Has anyone else experienced (and fixed) a similar problem? As it ism the iPhone-Mac sync only works in one direction!

    I had the same problem, and then all my calendars stopped syncing either way. They picked a beautiful time to do it, too... right as I was leaving on a business/pleasure vacation where I was making on the fly appointments. grumble
    However, I fixed it tonight. Here is what I did.
    1. Back up (export) all your iCal calendars. (not just good practice, you'll need them later) Make sure iCal is closed.
    2. under ~/Library/Application Support/iCal delete everything.
    3. under ~/Library/Calendars delete everything
    4. Sync your phone.
    At this point you should have your phone overwriting everything in iCal. If your problem is ONLY syncing from phone to iCal you should be good to go, if you can't sync either way, you'll need to:
    5. Drag all your backed up calendars back to iCal. In theory they will sort themselves out, but you might have some duplicates between stuff you've created on your phone and in iCal.
    I don't know if this will keep the problem from occurring again, but at the very least, I was able to test out my ability to create events on either side, and it works.
    I kept hoping that the last iPhone update would solve this for me, alas!

  • I purchased a calendar app and downloaded to my computer but cannot get it onto my iphone 4

    New to Iphone. Just purchased a calendar app and downloaded to my computer but cannot find how to get it onto my iphone. It is not showing up on the APP store in my phone under purchases.

    Dana -
    You can connect the iPhone to any computer to charge it. Just be careful when doing so if the computer has iTunes installed. iTunes may pop up and ask if you want to sync the phone with the computer, which you won't want to do if the computer isn't yours! 
    Good to hear you got things sorted
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  • ToDo App that syncs with iCal?

    Has anybody found a good ToDo app that syncs with iCal? That would be awesome!

    I tried several to do applications. A couple would synch with Ical, but you had as much as a 30 minute delay before the synch would be updated.
    So far the best thing I have found is Toodledo. You can import your Ical data into it and very effectively sort all your to dos.
    They have their own iphone web application for the iphone for accessing it, but there is an iphone application called Todo, that will synch with Toodledo and store all the data in your iphone so you do not have to be connected to the internet all the time. Go toodledo.com
    It synching is instant.

  • TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

    ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

    I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

    I have two apple ID's, one with all my apps and one with only Mavericks. Will Mavericks update automatically if i'm not logged in to the apple ID I used to download it?

    Some things are mixed up here, seemingly...
    I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.
    An Apple ID is a valid email address, apparently. How can those be "attached to your email"... what email?
    Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.
    This doesn't make sense. You can register multiple, even non-Apple-ID, email addresses and their aliases with FaceTime.
    So, maybe you can explain your problem better - what you want and the steps you've taken and what you have so far. If something doesn't work, please tell the exact error message, too.
