1-way Sync: send iCal events to Entourage

I want to use Sync Services to send my iCal (v. 2.0.5) events to Entourage (2004 v. 11.3.6) and keep Entourage synched with iCal. The reason I'm doing this is because I much prefer how Entourage prints out a calendar; so I use iCal on-screen, but print out with Entourage. Therefor, I don't want Entourage to ever overwrite anything in iCal.
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance,
rb

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:

Is there a way to view ical events as a list?

Is there a way to view ical events as a list?

If you just want to export events then Bento will let you access and export your calendars. I think they still have a free trial version available. If you want to manipulate the actual ical data Bento will let you do that too.
Not sure if there's any other solution. Maybe someone else will have a good suggestion too.
Good luck!

HT2513 I have a mac and an ipad. when i create and ical event on my mac and then sync to my ipad, the event replicates; however, when i create an ical event on my ipad and then sync, the ical event does not sync.

Greetings,
Go to Apple > Software Update and install all available updates until no more are offered.
On iPad go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates.

Hope that helps.

Is there any way to send an event invitation to multiple people, but hide invitees' email addresses from recipients? I need to keep their details private...

Hi,
I'm creating a series of events in Lightning, and sending invitations to all my adult class students. Legally, and ethically, I have to keep their personal details private. This includes their email addresses. I can't find a way to send invitations to a dozen people, without them seeing everyone's email addresses. I need something like a bcc option really. Is there a way please? Google calendar seems to be able to do it, but I don't want to use that, I far prefer TB/Lightning - largely because I can then send invitations from my business address instead of Gmail.
Thanks very much,
Melanie

The following is intended as general guidance about changing the to: designation in Thunderbird. I must admit I'm not sure how it works with calendar event invitations. I need to check. Of course, amongst colleagues and in the workplace generally, it's not required to hide addresses, and as that's pretty much the only context I have used automatically generated invitation emails, I hadn't found any need to use bcc:.
Thunderbird has bcc. Click on to: to change it.
Tip: change it when you add the first address, then each address you subsequently add will be set to bcc: automatically.
If you're using a Mailing List, bcc: will apply to each address in the list too.
And try F9 to see a Contacts Sidebar in the Compose window. This has explicit "Add to..." buttons.

Sending ical event to coworker

Every time I send an event no information goes with it? What am I missing?

After getting no answers to this, I decided to open a real problem, so I went to Support.Apple.com and within a few short clicks, Apple called me.
I accidentally hung up on them, and they called back in 2 minutes.
I then waited in the queue for a few short minutes. The person who answered, understood my problem and transferred me to the iCal department where I waited another 15 minutes.
The iCal department then did some research for 10 minutes, and came back to tell me that, unfortunately, iCal is working / not broken. I disagreed, saying that this is my business computer and not being able to send meeting invites to anyone not using a MAC is insane.
The support guy suggested I tell the developers directly, via http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html.
I did.
He suggested that you all do to. The more people who feedback, the faster we'll get a fix!

IPhone 4s Won't Sync All iCal Events

After I sync my new iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) using iTunes (10.5.3) on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8), all the iCal events on the MacBook Pro do not show up in the calendar app on the iPhone. I have already searched the Apple support data base, with no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Well, I figured it out. The events that weren't syncing from my laptop to my iPhone were events for which I had changed the "calendar". In other words, I set up some events in iCal, all of which were part off the same calendar, but then I didn't like the color of those events. So I created a new calendar and changed these events by right clicking on them to assign them to the new calendar. Somehow, moving these events from the calendar they were created on to a different one caused them not to be recognized by the sync process. This sounds like a bug to me.

Syncing deletes iCal events added on iPod Touch

Has anyone noticed that events added on the iPod Touch are deleted upon syncing on iTunes? I'm restoring the touch right now to see if that solves the problem...

Thanks for the suggestion. I do not have that option checked so that shouldn't be causing problems. I did the restore but it did not help. However, I now noticed that under the "info" tab, where I check sync with the various calendars on my computer there is a line that says "put new events created on this ipod into the calendar" and then a list of calendars. Interestingly, each calendar appears twice on that list. Any ideas on how I could reset that list?

IPhone events don't sync to iCal

Problem Summary:
Events created on my iPhone do not sync over to my iCal on my computer.
Tech Specs:
* iPhone 4S, running iOS 6.1.3
* MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.6.8
* Sync via cable directly onto mac (not wifi, not iCloud)
Potentially Useful Observations:
* Events created on iCal do sync back to iPhone; only iPhone --> iCal fails.
* Partially edited histories of events sometimes also sync as duplicates back to iPhone (ex: on iCal on my computer I create an event "event 4" to occur at 2 pm, then I edit it to be "event 5" at 4 pm instead, then I sync my phone. My phone will get both an "event 4" @ 2, and an "event 5" @ 4 appear in its mobile iCal app, while the iCal on my computer only retains the most recent version -- "event 5" @ 4).
* Roughly 1/3 to 1/2 the time I try to sync, I get the following error:
However, the phone is still connected, and I can continue to interact with it through iTunes after the failed sync. iCal event syncing fails regardless of whether or not this error occurs.
(Failed) Strategies I Have Tried to Fix / Diagnose the Problem:
* Restarting iTunes
* Restarting computer
* Creating a new "test calendar" in iCal (it experienced the same syncing problems)
* Trying both the "All Calendars" or "Selected Calendars" syncing options in the "Info" tab in the iTunes phone syncing menu
* Resetting sync history through iSync preferences
* Deleting the calendar cache file in ~/Library/Calendars.
* Various combinations of the above (although if there is a specific combo you think would work, please let me know in case I did not try it)
Any suggestions or pointers to other posts offering different suggestions beyond what I have already tried (I did some browsing before posting) would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sean

I just encountered a similar problem after updating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion with my old iPod touch (iOS4). Phononic's suggestion to delete the cach file in ~/Library/Calendars is close. Try this:
- in iCal, make a backup (File>Export>Calendar Archive)
- close iCal.
- delete the ~/Library/Calendars directory (or rename it ~/Library/Calendars.bak)
- open up iCal. There should be no events.
- sync your device through iTunes. This should remove all entries on your device.
- in iCal, restore the backup (File>Import)
- sync your device through iTunes again. This should restore all entries.
Seems to work so far, but haven't tested it on all my devices yet.
In Mountian Lion, there is a trick to locate the \Library directory. In Finder, ,selct "GO", then press the <option> key. "Library" will appear in the dropdown. Calendars is in there.

HOW DO YOU SEND AN EVENT "OUT" TO A COMPONENT?

I am writing an AIR app that has many components. The main application has a "start" button to begin a new project, and when you exit a project, the application returns to the start page. Even though you exit back to the start page, the major MXML components used in the application do not get destroyed because there is no way to destroy them so they just sit there idle in the background and not visible in the "start" state. The problem is that when a user clicks the "start" button again to start a new project, the MXML components appear in the new project in the old state that they were in because there is no obvious way to reinitialize them. If there was a way to destroy the components, then when they were recreated in a new project I could initialize them with a creationComplete handler. But since you can't literally destroy an MXML component, I need a way for the components to be able to listen to the main program for a click event on the "start" button, and then each component initializes itself when it hears the event. So instead of components passing an event up to the main application, I need the main application to send an event down to the components. Is there a way to send an event from the main application out to the various components? (or is there a way to destroy an MXML component so that you can recreate it later that I am unaware of?)

Yes, that will do the job, though it's better to use a custom event and you don't need a property.
I quickly made a tiny example in Flash using a static variable as a central dispatch hub..
Create a class:
package {
    import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
    public class EventHub extends EventDispatcher {
        public static var dispatcher:EventHub = new EventHub();
        public function EventHub() {
            // constructor code
// in the component add this
EventHub.dispatcher.addEventListener("INIT_COMPONENT", _onInitComponent);
// the handler for the event inside your component
private function _onInitComponent(e:Event):void{
    trace("INIT_COMPONENT received");
// wherever you need to trigger init, add this
EventHub.dispatcher.dispatchEvent(new Event("INIT_COMPONENT"));

Since upgrading to Lion, iCal event invitations are not working well.

Since upgrading to Lion last week, I am having problems with sending iCal event invitations to large groups of people (say 10 people or more). Although my iMac, iPhone, and iPad iCals show that invitations have been sent, only a few of those invited have actually received event invite emails.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any insight into the problem or solution?
Thanks in advance.

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

Sending an Event to Result Set iView

Hi,
in the standard MDM Result Set iView, there is a provision to generate an EPCF/URL Event. But is there a way to send an event into this standard result set iView?
I want to create a custom filter in web dynpro and filter the Result Set iView.
Please let me know if you know of a provision to do this.
Regards,
Nitin

Thanks, issue was solved.
Ivan,
I am using the following code:
For Item Details
                WDPortalEventing.fire(
     "urn:com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.masteriviews",
     "selectRecord",
     "MDMSystemAlias=SAP_MDM_Repository_Customers&MDMTableName=CUSTOMERS&mdmId="
     + rec.getId() //RecordId.
     + "&RefreshSearch=true");
For resultset

Calender two-way sync

Hi,
Do we not have two-way sync for ical? Appointments made on the iphone are not x-fered to the computer and then erased from iphone. Anybody have a different outcome??

They are transferred to iCal on your computer when you sync the iPhone - there is a setting as to which calendar unassigned appointments should be put into.
Why would you want the appointments to be deleted from your iPhone once they have been synced with your computer? I think the purpose it to have your calendar on your phone and on your computer. It doesn't take up a whole lot of space on the phone, so you shouldn't have a lot to worry about.
I really don't know how you would be able to sync the calendar without keeping the appointments on your phone. One possibility - don't categorize any appointments if you enter them onto your calendar via your iPhone. Then, when you set the sync settings, do not sync whatever calendar uncategorized appointments are placed into.

Publishing iCal Events to Twitter..?

Hello,
is there a way to publish iCal Events or a complete calendar from ical to Twitter?
I am a MobileMe User, also using Google for working with non AppleUsers.
Thanks for Helping

Hi,
If you were guaranteed that the format was going to be the same every time, it would be possible do this by selecting the text and using an Applescript.

Duplication of events in Entourage/iCal from syncing iPhone

Okay, I am sick to death of this..... I have all the latest software - Entourage 8, OS 10.5.5, iPhone 2.2.... When I sync, iCal is not smart enough to recognize that events in Entourage are the same events... and Entourage is the same way, so I have ended up with as few as three and as many as 35 of the same event on a given day. I have changed every setting I can find. Also, although I've told iCal to delete tasks & events over 30 days old, it's not doing it.... so the cycle is perpetuated and I end up with MORE of the same event on my calendar.
does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? And why in God's name won't iPhone just sync with Entourage without the middle man of iCal and Address Book?
Thank you!

Okay, here is what I've found.
First thought two disclaimers: 1. I am no tech support person - by any means. 2. I'm not even sure if I can recall how I corrected this since I had to go back and forth in so many settings so many times (spending 80 minutes on the phone with a tech support buddy of mine).
But, here goes:
iPhone has to use iCal to sync with Entourage. It's a work around, it *****, but that's the way it goes.
So open iCal and make sure that there is only one Entourage calendar that has been created (there should be a list of calendars with check boxes on the left side), if there are two or more, delete the extra ones (right click, choose delete). I think that if you look in Entourage preferences and under Sync Preferences ever clicked 'sync to iCal' off and then on again, you may have created a second Entourage calendar in the process. When I was doing this, I accidently deleted the original Entourage calendar that I had and the one left over was actually empty - which may have helped me in this process to start 'fresh' and perhaps stop the constant loop of repopulating events between iCal and Entourage.
Make sure that in Entourage preferences under Sync Preferences 'sync to address book' and 'sync to iCal' are both clicked on.
In iSync Preferences, I had to reset the sync history there and start all over again then hit sync on iTunes.
Leave iCal preferences alone. They should be fine.
If ever told there is a conflict in your syncing the calenders, choose Entourage over iCal for all (if this is an option - at first for me, it wasn't and only iCal and iSync were listed as options until eventually, somehow, one popped up with the options of both iCal and Entourage).
If/when given the option to use Entourage as the primary source, iCal as the primary source, or merge the two, choosing merge should allow you to either update your phone or Entourage and have it populate the other. Choosing 'entourage' will only allow you to update entourage and have your phone sync, but not the other way around.
The worst part of all this? I've found no work around to delete the extra events listed in Entourage. You still have to delete the new ones by hand, one by one, even if the above fix works.
I can unfortunately pretty much guarantee that I've missed several key points, verbatim language, or even a modicum of logical steps in the above, but again I was going back and forth so many times that I can't even begin to tell you how best to solve this in a linear manner. I'm hoping that this provides a little direction, maybe you post a follow-up question (or eight), and then I can provide a few more tidbits to hopefully get you back out of this miserable loop of re-populating events.
Good luck!
