Cannot merge calendars in ical

I am trying to merge several calendars into one in iCal and I understand that the first step to do this is to create a New Calendar Group and grag the calendars into it.
I can't seem to drag any calendars (from under "icloud") into the New Calendar Group (On My Mac) that I created. Any ideas?

How to merge calendars within iCal?

In my initial enthusiasm I set up several calendars in iCal for different classes of event. I now find I have events misfiled. So I have decided to cut down the number of iCal calendars by merging some. I cannot find out how to do this. Any ideas.
I am running iCal 3.0.8 (1287) on OSX 10.5.8 on an Intel core duo 2GHz MacBook.
Thanks

Silver6d,
Follow the steps listed in: Apple - Support - Discussions - How to move all events of a calendar to another.

I have made a calendar in iCal on my MacBook Pro, but I cannot seem to find out how I can 'download' that same calendar on my iPhone and iPad. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

ICal Help Needed! (cannot delete calendars/events on computer and iPhone)

Hi Everyone,
I need some help with my iCal. Background info:
-Currently have an iPhone 3GS
-Using Google Calendar
-Use separate calendar on iPhone (Pocket Informant)
-Wanted to sync all event from Outlook to Google Calendar to iCal to two calendars on phone (this became an issue with alarms so began attempting to delete all events from the original iPhone calendar that I do not want to use)
I started by syncing my Outlook (one way) with my Google Calendar, which syncs with the iCal on computer and Pocket Informant on iPhone, as well as iCal on iPhone. Duplicate alarms started occurring on the phone (PI and iCal). I then attempted to delete all events from the iCal on the computer. One calendar remains, one that I subscribed to from Yahoo Sports. I have tried everything to delete this calendar, but it seems impossible. After I sync the phone, the subscribed calendar shows up as well as birthdays and one calendar from my Google Calendar, on my phone.
So, the issues, and what I would eventually like to see:
1. I would like all events cleared from iCal on computer (currently just subscribed calendar that will not delete)
2. I would like to delete all events from calendar on phone (subscribed calendar, birthdays, and one calendar from Google) *I cannot even delete these events by hand on my phone.
3. In the end I would like to just continue to sync Outlook with Google which syncs with PI and then do nothing with iCal (on phone and computer) *Well really I would like events from Google synced with iCal on computer, but this doesn't seem feasible so I would settle with not using it at all.
The only thing I can think of to do at this point is to delete iCal, but I am not even sure this would correct the calendar issue on my phone as I am unable to delete that and the sync does not seem to be working correctly.
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!!

The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud.

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud. It works well from iCloud to Ical, and Ical to iCloud except for all the calendars in the "ON MY MAC" group.
Please help.

That's correct: both in MobileMe and iCloud you cannot 'sync' 'On My Mac' calendars. This is because there is no actual syncing in the literal sense: the calendars are held on the server, and read from there by iCal (think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense).
The only way to 'sync' an 'On My Mac' calendar is to move it to iCloud. This page is written for MobileMe but the principle is the same: please follow the first set of numbered instructions.

How do you link Google calendar to iCal in Maverick?

Just downloaded Maverick (great) to my late 2008 aluminium laptop but cannot link Google Calendar with iCal. In iCal tried deleting old account and re-entering but still iCal does not sync, although it still does on iPad and iPhone. Any ideas?

Hi there,
I have tested this out on my backup disk and there is a slight modification to the method. Will highlight this with quotation.
================================================================================ ==
It appears that once upgraded to Mavericks, the calendar folders are no longer compatible with the latest version of iCal. Hence why it crashes.
To remediate,
Close the iCal App
Duplicate the folder (For Backup reason) /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
Delete all content with in /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
Go to:-
System Prefences | Internet Account | iCloud
Uncheck Calendars, Recheck Calendars
Select the iCloud profile
Press "-" to delete the whole iCloud profile.
Recreate the iCloud profile by select "+" then iCloud
Enter your iCloud Username and Password
It will asked you if you wish to merge the database. (You may have to do this more then once)
For every other google calendar
Uncheck Calendars (if already checked), Recheck Calendars
Hopefully this will recreate all the calender folders within /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar and start re-syncing.
Once you are satified that all your calender are syncing, delete the /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar copy
Good Luck.

How to remove calendar in ical

I clicked on a link that added a calendar to my ical which has now synced with my Google calendar and added all the events to it as well. Unfortunately, I did not realize that this was going to add every single instance (multiple events per day) to all my calendars.
I'd like to reverse this action but there is not easy way to do this in ical it seems. I cannot "delete" the calendar because it does not appear in the list of subscribed calendars in ical.
I subscribed to two calendars this way and I'd like to remove them both. I also have to now deal with how to remove hundreds of entries in my Google calendar....and it seems there is no batch delete there either unless I pay for a third party program....arrrgh
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be most grateful.

Thanks for your reply. I "subscribed" to a couple of motorsports calendars in iCal by visiting a direct link on the Apple website like this one: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/2011motogpworldchampionshipcalen darprovisional_gpticketltd.html
This adds the events contained in this calendar directly to iCal and I can't for the life of me find a way to "unsubscribe" or eliminate these entries short of erasing them manually one by one. Unfortunately, there are many of them.
If you know how I may go about doing this in an efficient manner, please let me know!

Is it possible to set a default Calendar in iCal?

I use a calender that is served by Kerio. I want to set that as the default, so that when I create a new entry (as in Apple-N) it uses the set calendar, and not the first one in the list in iCal, which is a local file. I cannot delete the local ical files, as they contain loads of data from before we started using Kerio, and the Kerio calendar cannot be shifted to the top of the cal list, so as to be selected as default it seems!
If it is a question of moving all the local data to the server cal file and then deleting the local file(s) so that the desired calendar is at the top of the list, is there a bulk way of doing this? I have years of old data, so doing it item by item is not viable!

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
Best wishes

How to subcribe to a published Outlook calendar in iCal

I use MS Outlook for work and iCal for my personal calendar.... I use my iPhone for business and personal use. I can't use MS Exchange on my iPhone to sync my Outlook calendar without it overwriting my iCal appointments.
I have published my MS Outlook calendar [privately] and want to subscribe to it in my iCal, but have been unsuccessful.
Do I need to work-around it somehow by subscribing to it from Entourage, Google, Yahoo! etc first then subscribe to that calendar? I'm game with any work-around; whatever will work, I have tons of appointments I need to track that are business and personal. Using MS Outlook directly for any personal use is out of the question.
Bottom line - I want my MS Outlook calendar (work calendar) merged with my iCal (personal calendar) so I can have both on my iPhone.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Erica

Have you ever gotten an answer to this question? I'm researching new phones. I'm trying to merge and globalize the whole shabang. And I'm like you -- Outlook at work, iCal at home.

Birthday Calendar in iCal Alarm

Hi, I created a birthday calendar in iCal. Now I don't know how to get recognition of these data by a ringing tone.

The birthday calendar is read-only, so you cannot set alarms. If you want them, turn off the birthday calendar and use John Maisey's script Dates to iCal instead.

ISync not finding Calendars in iCal

To begin, I have "upgraded" to 10.5.3.
I just attempted to sync my cellphone with my Mac, and noticed that iSync was not recognizing any of my calendars in iCal. When I clicked on the Calendars box in iSync, I got the following message:
No writable calendar was found
Before you can synchronize your calendars, you need to open a calendar application that supports synchronization and create at least one writable calendar.
Well, iCal should qualify, and it has worked in the past. Any idea why iSync cannot find my calendars?

I had the same problem. I found a solution in iCal's Help section, in a support article entitled "Mac OS X 10.5: Resetting the SyncServices folder".
After following the instructions in the support article (see below), the problem was fixed on my computer.
Following is the relevant text from the support article.
Reset the SyncServices folder with these steps in Mac OS X 10.5:
Open iSync.
Choose Preferences from the iSync menu.
Click Reset Sync History.
If this does not resolve your issue, or if you are unable to open iSync, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window that opens, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
When the operation is complete, quit Terminal.

Unable to add delegate calendars in iCal

I'm using OS 10.6.7 and am on an Exchange 2010 server and have it hooked into iCal. It shows my calendar just fine, but when I go into preferences->account->delegation and hit the plus button to add a delegate, I can enter a username of a delegate into the appropriate field, but when I click away (hitting the "enter" key just goes down a line, which is odd for when I'm entering what should be a single-line item) , the text I've just entered disappears and I'm left with an empty list. So, effectively, I cannot add a delegate exchange calendar to iCal.
I know that permissions for the exchange calendar are correct serverside, because I can view the delegate's calendar just fine from Exchange webmail. It's just in iCal that it won't add. Any ideas? I have tried deleting and re-adding the exchange account in iCal, and that doesn't help.

iCAL (Calendar) may be unable to access a shared calendar if the person's access to it is defined using a group that contains another group to provide access.. The access must be an account within the membership of the group not a group entered as a member of the group.
For example: SharedCalendarA has a group named All-Teams with Reviewer access. All-Teams has a Red-Team, Green-Team, etc groups listed in it. PersonA's account is listed in Red-Team. PersonA may not be able to access ShardCalendarA since All-Teams is being used to control access. However, if Red-Team is used instead access will work. It seems iCAL is unable to resolve access for security groups within groups. The group being used MUST have the person's account listed in it.
I thought this is worth passing along since Outlook 2011 for Mac and OWA work with groups within group access but iCAL may be having an issue with extra level security access.

How do you set the default calendar in iCal

I have 6 different calendar. I want a certain one to be the default calendar in iCal but cannot figure out how to make it happen.

Andrew,
The most you can do to the calendar you want to be 'default or so say' is to drag it to the top of the list in iCal. What that will do is if you get an invitation in Mail it will add it to that top calendar.
If you mean you want to be able to choose were your Notes and To Do's goto? Go to while in mail (Mail)/(Preferences)/(Composing)/ and in the (Create Notes & To Do's in:) select (On My Mac). Now you will have an option of what calendar you want to use when you make the Note/To Do.
Other then that you have to select the Calendar you want as default.
Hope that helps,
Weston
