Syncing specific iCal calendars through "push"

After upgrading to 3G, I no longer see an option to sync specific iCal calendars through MobileMe push. I have 6 calendars set up in iCal, but only wish to sync 2 of these to my iPhone. However, when push is enabled, it looks like all or nothing. iTunes says to modify push settings in the iPhone, but I see no option to enable/disable a specific calendar. In MobileMe, syncing is enabled for calendars.

Me to.
Is it possible to auto-publish and then subscribe with the other computer — using your own regular webspace account — and still be able to change stuff while keeping your info secure/private?
I did find this:
*Sync calendars in iCal via DropBox*
*from Wired 2009.09:*
*Sync Your Life With Dropbox*
*Sure, Mac users can buy MobileMe ($99 per year) to stay organized across multiple machines. But Web-based service Dropbox can deliver the mobile you for free. Here’s how to use it to sync your iCal data on two computers.*
*1. Download and install the Dropbox app, then open your Mac’s Terminal utility. Enter +mv ~/Library/Calendars/ ~/Dropbox/+ to move your iCal files to Dropbox.*
*2. On a new line, type +ln -s ~/Dropbox/ Calendars/ ~/Library /Calendars+ to redirect your Mac to Dropbox whenever it tries to access iCal data.*
*3. Delete the Calendars file from the User Library on your second Mac. Open Terminal and reenter the code from step 2. You’ve essentially built an Ethernet cable in the cloud, linking the two Macs. —Maren Jinnett*

First part works, but second part errors with: +ln -s ~/Dropbox/ Calendars/ ~/Library /Calendars ln: /Calendars: No such file or directory+

  • Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

    Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?  I don't need the calendar grid.  I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates.  Is that possible? 

    Not easily. Two possibilities:
    1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
    2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
    The first one will probably give you what you want.

  • Syncing my iCal calendars in iTunes - Not working after installing Leopard

    * I have tried researching this as much as possible before posting this, so I apologize if a solution has already been posted for this issue!
    After recently installing Leopard, I have noticed that when I try to sync my iCal calendars to my (5th generation) iPod (using iTunes) that the only calendars showing up as available to sync with are "Home" and "Work". I do not have a "home" or "work" calendar in my iCal. In fact all of my calendars in iCal appear to be working fine, however, I am unable to see any of them when I go to my iTunes to sync them to my iPod. I tried syncing my iPod with the "Home" and "work" calendars, but they are empty. I used to be able to sync with no problem whatsoever. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot for any helpful advise!

    JHeinz,
    Glad to hear that contacts are working again.
    Other troubleshooting steps involve refreshing the iTunes and iCal plist files.
    1. Quit iTunes and find the com.apple.iTunes.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iTunes for expected behavior.
    2. Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Additionally find the Calendar Cache file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder. Drag both of these files to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check for desired behavior.
    I listed these as separate steps to keep from changing too many things at one time. If you are dissatisfied with the results you can always return the original plist files to their original locations.

  • My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.  Until recently, we would receive email notifications if either of us made changes to or added an event to the iCal calendar.  Does anyone know why those email notifications stopped?

    My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.  Until recently, we received email notificiations anytime either of us made changes to exisiting calendar events or added new items to the calendar.  Does anyone know why these email notificiations stopped?

    iCloud was experiencing problems with this a couple of days ago, where many users with shared calendars were getting email notifications even though their iCloud settings did not select to receive them.  Perhaps when they fixed this problem it reverted your settings to not receive email notifications.  Got to iCloud and check your setting for this.  If it still look correct, try turning off email notifications, save the change, then turn them back on again and save the change again.

  • Unable to sync certain iCal events through 10.7 to iCloud

    I am unable to sync "certain" iCal events from my MacBook Air (10.7.5) and iCloud ... which, unfortunately, doesn't allow my iCal event to get to either my other MacBook Pro, iPhones or those to whom I'm attempting to inform of events. Specifically these events have an attachment (Add file) and a "Show in Mail" URL. Now ... iCal automatically loads these two additional attachments when capturing an event off an email.
    Bottom Line: Do I need to ensure iCal and Mac Mail NEVER do this, or is there a way to allow these events to be passed through iCloud? Inquiring minds ...

    Hello Dominick Issi,
    It is definitely hard to stay on schedule if the calendars on your devices stop syncing.  I recommend reviewing the articles below to troubleshoot iCloud calendar syncing issues:

  • How can I sync an ICAL calendar on my blackberry storm

    I was using the google sync application to do this and since it just went end of life then I need something new.  I easily added my gmail account and got the contacts and its calendar.   However, there is another calendar that is not associated with an email account that is an ICAL calendar that I would to sync.  I can not figure out how to configure that sync.   I was syncing both calendars iwth the Google Sync before.  I gussing it is not hard I just can not find the right information anywhere.  Thanks.

  • Can I sync my iCal calendar to my husband's Google Calendar?

    I have read many discussions about this here and on other forums, but can't find an answer that works for what I'm trying to do.
    I use iMac, iPhone and iPad and keep track of our family's many activities on 3 iCal calendars (so I can use the different colors to track what each kid is doing.) I would like my husband to be able to view and modify these calendars.  He is on an Android device, uses Google Mail and a PC.
    I can easily sync his Google calendar to my iCal using advice from this Google forum (http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674).  I cannot figure out how he can sync my calendar to his Google calendar. 
    I have exported my iCal calendar and he has imported it into Google calendar just fine, but it is a static picture of the calendar when I export it so doesn't really help keep him up to date.
    I have shared the calendar per the link by Roger Wilmut1 (link: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479) on this  discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4599543?start=0&tstart=0.  However iCloud is requesting an iCloud account from him to "Join" the calendar in Google calendars.
    If he set up an iCloud account (how??  I don't know) could he then access my iCal and sync it into his Google calendar?
    I'm trying to figure out if I should just give up on iCal and switch to a Google calendar.  It is working so nicely right now with my iPhone and iPad I would love to just keep using iCal if possible.  Most of the advice I have seen describes how I can link to his Google calendar (done, but not what I want to do) or says I should move to Google Calendar and stop using iCal. 
    Would appreciate any solutions you might offer.

    I've been using iCloud since it's inception as "mac.com" or whatever it was called. I've been able to Sync Outlook Exchange Calenars to my iMac, iPhone and iPad. However, I cannot get iCal (when viewed in iCloud) to display Exchange or Google Calender items.
    It's odd, all other Mac versions of iCal are happy e.g. iMac, MacBook Air, iPad Air, iPhone etc. But nothing when I login to icloud.com and look at the iCal there.

  • I'd like to sync an iCal calendar with a Google calendar. Is this possible?

    Is it possible to sync from iCal to Google Cal? I know you can do it from Google Cal to iCal, but does it work the other way?

  • Can I sync my iCal calendars

  • TS3999 Sync Problem: Home iCal Calendar from iMac - iPhone 3GS via iCloud

    I'm unable to sync Home iCal Calendar from iMac (Snow Lion) to iPhone 3GS via iCloud - events appear correctly on iCloud.com but not pushed to iPhone. However Home events created on the phone sync fine in other direction (appearing correctly on iCloud & iCal) - but they can only be amended on the phone.
    My other Work iCal Calendar works perfectly in both directions.
    Have tried various suggestions to fix but to no avail. Any help appreciated - thanks.

    Really appreciating your help/time; it's so frustrating to try & sort this on your own!
    So when I switch off iCloud on the phone, it asks me if I wish to retain the events from the iCloud - and I select it to delete them.
    Then I go back into Calendar app, and I press on Calendar button(top left) I can see the On My iPhone" Calendar. If I select this to display I can see the events previously described. I then shut the phone off.
    Having restarted the phone, I go back into iCloud settings to switch Calendars on and to at last answer your question (!!) there is no question to ask me to merge data (this good as it would duplicate entries)
    Going back into Calendar app, it claims to be displaying both Home & Work calendars, but it only shows events in the Work calendar.
    I've tried this a number of times and it is totally consistent in its failure to take Home events from the iCloud; I can't see anything different in the setup of the 2 calendars - do you think its a bug?
    Thanks again

  • Syncing iCal calendar todos with Mobile Me todos

    Hi
    I am using 10.5.8.
    Omnifocus will only sync my todos with the iCal calendar on my Mac.
    I use and sync events with Mobile Me.
    Is there anyway I can sync the iCal Calendar todos on my local mac with one of my MobleMe calendars?
    Thanks
    Gus

    This will be no consolation. But I'm having the same problem. For me the issue began when I signed up for the MobileMe iCal beta (at least I think that's the culprit).
    I was no longer able to sync iCal to the MobileMe server after the update (and I kept getting an error message in iCal). I downgraded back to the "regular" MobileMe iCal and got the iCal on my iMac up and running again.
    However, now I don't seem to be able to sync my iPhone with Mobile me. I've turned it off from settings and turned it back on, but it's not working.

  • How do I sync MacBook Pro's old iCal calendar with iPhone 4?

    I had MobileMe, which as you all know, was not a perfect program. MobileMe left me with duplicates of every Calendar but I am not sure which one to delete of each pair for fear of losing date. But it did sync my iPhone and my iCal on my MacBookPro. So when it was suggested that I move to iCloud, I thought: Great idea. Maybe this program will work better!
    Well now I have no syncing between iCal calendar and iPhone iCal calendar.
    Does anyone know how to use this thing?
    AGH!
    Thanks for any help you can shoot my way. Assume idiocy: step 1, step 2, step 3 appreciated and for each device if you know how to fix this!

    Contacts and calender you can put on icloud then sync to your new phone when its setup to the icloud account. Not sure so with emails.

  • Syncing iCal calendars without .Mac

    My wife has two computers, desktop and laptop. She would like to be able to sync her calendars, one from each machine. Is this possible without .Mac membership. If so, could someone please tell me how it's done?
    I do have a .Mac membership. Is it legal for her to publish her calendars to my .Mac and then subscribe to them so they'd show up on her two machines.
    Any help at all with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Martin,
    Try iSynCal: iSynCal is built to synchronize events and todo from iCal calendars between two or more Mac computers using the standard Apple File Sharing shipped with Mac OSX. Using iSynCal, you no longer need a .Mac account neither to publish your calendars on an external FTP or WebDav server.
    You can even use iSynCal to sync your iCal calendars with your iPod or between multiple users on the same Mac.Regarding your second question, legality is not the issue, since the .Mac account belongs to your username, only you can publish calendars to that account.
    ;~)
