ICal sync with Yahoo Calendar Beta ( 2 way) REDUX

I'm bringing back an issue that was archived recently even though it was not resolved.
Here it is: I (as well as many other people) am trying to sync iCal and Yahoo calendar. I followed the Yahoo instructions given here:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calendar/yahoocalendar/sync/sync-03.html
But it only goes one way; when I add something to the Yahoo calendar it shows up in iCal, but when I add something to iCal it never shows up in Yahoo.
People keep saying to just follow the instructions and it will go both ways but for me AND MANY OTHERS it simply does not.
I've spent over an hour researching this, and this is a real live problem for a lot of people, going all the way back to 2008. I've seen dozens of different people saying they have this problem and I have yet to see a single solution aside from repeating the same instructions that do not work (for everybody).
Some of the discussions focus on iCal's "Calendar" calendar vs. "Work" and "Home" calendars, claiming only the "Calendar" one will sync. If that's true then it is beyond stupid and is totally useless to me and thousands of others. But I doubt it's true because I have tested it; I've created events in "Calendar," "Work," and "Home," and none of them sync back to Yahoo.
How can this be such a common problem and yet nobody has a solution? (At least not one that makes sense...)
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated by me and many others!
(Sorry if I sound a bit grumpy; this stuff can be really frustrating!)
Thanks!

...one more thing; in Yahoo calendar, on the left-hand side where the calendars are listed, it only lists my Yahoo calendar, plus US holidays and Canadian holidays. It seems to me that my iCal calendars should be there too. How do I get them there? (That seems to be at the heart of it.)
There's an item to "subscribe to calendars" where you can enter an "iCal address," and the example they give is this:
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/sfo/ical.ics
That's a yahoo address, not an iCal address. And regardless, how do I find the iCal address for my three iCal calendars? ("Calendar," "Home," and "Work"). And besides, is this for syncing, or just viewing some external calendar?

  • Events made on iPad calendar(through yahoo account) don't sync with yahoo calendar

    Events made on iPad calendar (through my yahoo account) don't sync with yahoo calendar on the Web. I'm on latest iOS both on iPad and iPhone4. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Raymondo1,
    Glad this helpped! 
    I am a PC user so cannot help with your Mac interfaces.  I can sync (crudely) my Windows 7 Address book with iTunes.  But, I cannot sync my Windows Mail or Calendar with iTunes (unless I have Microsoft Exchange).
    Microsoft Exchange is not available to me.  This is why I use the iPod to sync with to Yahoo for email and Calendar.
    The best I can tell, iTunes does NOT support an interface with Yahoo.
    Have a nice day.

    Someone suggested that I switch to syncing to/with Google calendar ... but I don't know how to do that since it's not in the list of options that come up when I say I want to configure sync settings.  Do you know how to do that?
    I received a cryptic email response from Yahoo saying they no longer support syncing with Yahoo calendar ... but implying that they may still be working on it and the option may start working again if they get a solution.  I responded that I'd like to know if they fix the problem instead of having to try every few days, but got no response to that request.
    The iPhone 5 is supposed to come out next month.  Maybe it's time to switch brands of smartphones.

  • I'm having trouble losing sync with yahoo calendar

    Is anyone else having trouble with yahoo calendar?  It used to work consistently, but now it stays in sync for a while and then goes out.  I've tried contacting Yahoo support, but they say that they've told me everything they know and I have to work with Apple.  Of course, my support has expired, so now what do I do?
    In order to get sync back, I have to delete my Yahoo account from my iPod and then re-add it.  It stays in sync for a while and then goes out again.
    This started happening after iOS 5 came along.

    It just just says, "A problem occurred.  The webpage couldn't be loaded.

  • I can't sync my new mac iCal events with Yahoo Calendar

    I just download an icalendar format file to my iCal account.  The events show up under my yahoo account calendar, but the events are not synched with the yahoo calendar on the web, or on my iphone or ipad for that matter.  Any ideas?

    Sounds like you haven't updated your Sync account for the new version of Sync that was released with Firefox 29.

  • Calendar Invitations Using iCal Synced with Google Calendar via Exchange

    I have a very complicated system set up for syncing multiple calendars. I use CompanionLink to sync my work Lotus Notes calendar to iCal. I then sync my Google Calendar and my husband's Google Calendar to iCal via Exchange. I've recently added the iCal step as a way to get push notifications. That's the only reason I've gone to iCal as I have CalenGoo on my iPhone and it's been working great up to now. However, the only notifications it can do are through email. I have 2 questions.
    First - using the iCal program on the iPhone, I tried to invite attendees for a meeting. No invitations were sent. Is there something that has to be set up to make this happen? Also, is it supposed to be sending them through Google or through my own email (mobileme is the primary email account on this phone)?
    Second - Is it possible to mark events as Private or Public? I don't want personal events to show up in my work calendar so that others can view them.
    Thanks!

    I am having the exact same problem with my ipad 2. Hope someone can help....

  • No longer able to sync with yahoo calendar after upgrade to OS5

    Last night I upgraded my IPhone 4 to OS5 and when I went to look at my calendar this afternoon found almost all of my calendar data was missing except for some VERY old entries such as birthdays. I have never before used iCal or iCloud, just syncing between yahoo and the iPhone directly. All the account information seems to be correct. I just tried opening iCal on my Macbook Pro and set up the yahoo account in there, and the account seemed to sign in okay but no data appeared on the calendar. I am a very new mac user in the scheme of things, so have no idea how to even try an fixes for this, but it's very frustrating. If anyone has any suggestions or ways to fix this I'd love to hear them. Thanks so much.

    This just happened to me. Lost all my info on my phone but when I logged onto my laptop it showed all info was still in my calendars. If this is the same for you need to go to your settings, then go to mail,contact,calendar, then go to add account, then other, add CalDAV account.. You will have 4 things to fill out put Yahoo (server name) put your  yahoo email and password and the description as yahoo... When you hit save will change the server name on it's own to CalDAV.calendar.yahoo.ca..... Once this goes threw all your info should come back to your calendar. This is what I did and it worked. Hope this helps.......

  • Syncing with Yahoo Calendars

    I just got the newest version of iCal and was so excited to sync it to my long time Yahoo calendars. However, when they synced, all of the Yahoo calendar events are 5 hours too early. I would like to figure out how to fix this.
    Thanks-

    Hi,
    Sorry, I should have been more detailed with my instructions.
    I actually meant "File > Export > Export". Then save the file to your Desktop. In the Finder Control-Click the file. Then select 'Open with…" from the contextual menu that should appear. From the sublist select "Other", then navigate to "TextEdit" from the next window. The file should then open in TextEdit. Tehn search for a line in the middle of the file starting DTSTART.
    Best wishes

  • Can iCloud sync with yahoo calendar/?

    trying to sync yahoo contacts and address book with IPhone thru the cloud.  Had MobileMe with no problem.  Any suggestions?

    After experiencing the same problem and doing a little research, I found out that this is a Yahoo problem, and not an iCloud problem.  Yahoo is aware of the synching issue and is working on it.  FYI....after 5 days of no luck, my events and notes JUST reappeared on my iPhone and iPad, so be patient.
    It may help to delete the yahoo acct on your phone/ipad and then reinstall.  If you go to Yahoo support and type in Calendar, you will get the message about them working on fixing this problem.

  • Trouble with iCal syncing with iPhone calendar

    When I create events or meetings on iCal on my Mac, they don't appear on my iPhone 4 anymore. Anyone help please

    Hey Thanks for your suggestion, however, and this may be part of the problem, I
    accidentally deleted the software a little while back thinking I did not need it.
    So, any suggestions on how I can get a download of iSync. I do not have Time Machine
    running currently, so, that option is gone. So, do you have any other suggestions.
    Thanks...

  • Sync iphone with yahoo calendars

    I use yahoo mail along with yahoo calendars. The new iphone allowes me to since with the mail, but only gives me an option to sync with outlook for calendars.
    Is there a way to do this?

    You can synch yahoo calendar to your iphone if you have an iMac and Yahoo Calendar Beta. First log into your yahoo calendar, then search for yahoo calendar beta, then switch to the beta calendar (be warned, if you switch any calendar entries made in beta will be lost if you go back to classic calendar). Then go to iMac open iCal and add a new calendar. Add yahoo calendar (instructions can be found by searching support for the yahoo calendar beta url). It's not real time, but it does get your events to your iphone.

  • ICal is no longer syncing with google calendar

    I keep getting the error that the url is incorrect when syncing ical with google calendar. It just stopped working today for some reason!
    When I look at the settings I see it adds an extra / at the end of the server path. When I delete that it syncs ok once only and then reverts back to the same problem! Help as I use this calendar to sync with google calendars on my imac so that i have the same calendar on my android phone!

    the same is happening to me.
    All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
    My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
    Any ideas anyone ?

  • Ask your question.How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar

    How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar?

    And the additional problem is that once you give in and go iCloud, no rep will tell you there are iCloud limits on iCal's size, so that if you're calendar is say 10 years old, with 10 events per day, and there's a 25K event limit, it won't work, even if you buy all the storage in the world. Which means that's syncing is OVER.
    So far I've tried three calendar alts: Fantastical (rated one of the top iCal alts); Pocket Informant (allegedly capable of superpowers); and Calendars. Not a single one is able to do the one simple task of
    1) integrating an ical ics file,
    2) placing a calendar program on the desktop and the iPhone
    3) keeping them both in sync.
    And Google's cloud has even more restrictions than iCloud, and for frack's sake why can't I keep a calendar off the net?
    This is really getting to annoy me. Chelsea, a tech support supervisor, offered that if I pay $99/year I can become a developer and get the next beta iTunes which will allegedly offer local syncing. Great.
