Adding delegate calendars to Sunbird

Heres the setup
One server with multiple users, each user has their own calendar, accessible via ical and sunbird. I also have one group with multiple calendars.
I have my username setup as a delegate on the group calendar and have created a multiple calendars under this group.
How can I access the additional calendars under this group in Sunbird?
main group calendar is at http://servername:8008/calendars/groups/calname/calendar

Jay,
As you have already noted, "Subscribed" calendars are no longer included in the published calendar.
One work around is to use iCal>File>Export... for the subscribed Calendar. Then use iCal>File>Import... on the file that you just exported. The imported calendar can then be added to your published group.
After accomplishing the import, you can delete the previously subscribed calendar, and the .ics file that you created with the export and used for the import.
One obvious problem with this method is that in order to prevent duplicates, you will have to turn off the Birthday Calendars in Address Book, and be mindful of any updates that you make in that application.
The Holidays calendar should remain current for the foreseeable future, but DVD and Movie releases will be correct only for a short period of time.

Some Google delegate calendars won't appear within iCal

Strange. My main Google calendar syncs just fine with iCal. So does the Google Holiday calendar (which is a delegate.) I added the St. Louis Rams and St. Louis Blues calendars as delegates. They appear in the delegate window in iCal preferences and, when I checkmark them there, also appear in the calendar list within iCal. Trouble is, the actual events contained in the sports calendars are not displayed in iCal, for example, a Rams game scheduled for Sunday at 4:05pm doesn't appear at all. I did check and those events are displayed correctly on the web-based Google calendar. Any ideas as to a fix are appreciated.

Similar problem here. I can select the delegate calendars within iCal, but it simply doesn't sync any events for the delegate calendars. I'm also returned an error if I try to manually subscribe to the calendars, e.g. using a direct link from the Google calendar settings.
Either way, I think it's all related to a known block Google have implemented to deal with an iCloud conflict. Keep an eye here for a solution...although it's been several months already obviously:
http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=99360#
The iPhone select utility should get things rolling on any iOS devices. See:
https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
NB. You must do it individually from each individual iOS device.

Delegate calendars from exchange in Calendar

Dear All,
I'm having this strange issue since upgrading to Mountain Lion. I see all calendars from my delegates (via an exchange server) in my calendar screen. I can unselect my own calendar in the menu and my appointements would disapear, but I can't unselect all my delegates calendars - all of their appointements are permanently visible. With 8 calendars permanently visible - I can't see my own appointements.
The interesting thing is, these get only updated when I open a delegate's calendar via "Window - name of delegate". A second window pops-up with that calendar only, and the data is added to my main screen. Drives me crazy - this used to work perfectly under Lion.
The Apple support desks claims it's normal...
Anybody here has the same issue?
Thanks!

Hi All,
This solved my issue (and maybe yours).
Went to calendar preferences, Accounts, selected the exchange account, hit the tab "delegation" and selected show for all of them.
Even though they were all showing already, I now could unselect them in the "calendar list" and they would disapear.
Hope this makes sense.
Yeay...
T.

In ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?

Hi,
Lion has changed the way reminders (todos as was) work. They now seem to need to be in a seperate calendar.
In iCal open the File menu and select New Reminder List... and select where to put it.

I added a calendar event to repeat every two weeks, but it repeats every day.

I've added a calendar event to repeat every two weeks, but it repeats every day. The original event was set up for all Day on Wednesday, Nov 5. Setting up for a single day worked fine. Add the repeat option and select every two weeks...and it shows up every day until the end date. I've re-booted the phone and tried other start dates. Same result. This is in the base iPhone calendar. No other calendars have been installed. iPhone 6 iOS 8.0.2. Any suggestions?

Found a workaround:
Just change each attribute 1 item at a time.
Create the calendar entry for one day only with no other settings.
Go back in and edit it so that its every two weeks, then leave and confirm this worked.
Open calendar back up and add in the end date.
That's the only way I could get it to accept those settings, one attribute at a time.
Misc. bug I suppose. I miss the "It just works" days. Living in silicon valley, the QA engineering buds I have at apple go on rants about the undisclosed/undiscovered but known bugs in ios every time we're having drinks. From what I hear, internally IOS8/8.1 weren't ready for prime time push just yet.

Getting alarms for events in delegate calendar, but alarm not set in event

I use iCal as a front-end to Google Apps calendar (gCal). I am using the CalDAV interface to gCal. I set up iCal to sync 1) with my gCal and 2) with 2 other gCals, of business associate, via iCal delegates. This is mostly working. In iCal I see the events for all 3 calendars and syncing seems OK.
The problem is that for one of the delegate calendars, I get Alarm pop-ups for every event scheduled by that colleague. In most cases I am not an attendee in the event. When I look at the event settings, in this delegate calendar, the "Alarm" is set to none.
I'd really like to stop getting this extraneous Alarm pop-ups. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Actually, not quite ditto. I am not using gCal. I have a CalDAV server, with two calendars served, my wife's and mine. Each of us is a delegate of the other. On iCal on her computer, she has "ignore alerts" set for all my calendars, and this works. However, she gets the alerts on her iphone. I cannot find an option to "ignore alerts" for the iPhone calendar app. What am I missing here?

I purchased holiday add-ons for the UtiliTap Week Calendar. I wanted basic holidays. Once added my calendar was flooded with listings for holidays, the majority obscure, repeatedly listed. The "hide calendar" would work only till the next time I opened it. These holidays were listed on the built-in iPhone calendar as well as the UtiliTap Week Calendar. I actually want to delete the two purchases because I tried deleting the UtiliTap Calendar (where I purchased the add-on holidays) and the holidays still showed up on my built in iPhone calendar.

TS2198 iCal crashes after adding Gmail calendar

iCal crashes after adding Gmail calendar (4 subcalendars and 1 shared calendar). I tried deleting Gmail calendar and re-entered them. I tried re-syncing, starting in safe mode, and moving iCal Preferences to the desktop. The problem continues. Any suggestions?

ICal Crashes after adding Subscribed Calendar (google)

As soon as I add a subscribed Google calendar, iCal becomes problematic. Doesn't matter if I add it manually or by using a link. As soon as I turn off the subscribed calendar, iCal starts working flawlessly. Any ideas on how to fix?
Closed/Launched iCal
Removed/Added subscribed calendar (both manually and via link)
Rebooted several times
Happens whether on 4G or WiFi
Happens with all options in iCloud enabled/disabled
Grrrrrrrr!!!!!

I looked on Google support as suggested by Eric, but this pointed me back to the Apple support forums where I came across this thread which I hadn't seen before.
Like other thread on the subject it had a lot of suggestions that didn't look helpful. However after reading through the various posts I tried the following.
1. I went off-line from the intranet, and that meant that I could actually open iCal to update my password within iCal. However when you go back online you still get errors and therefore have to go through steps 2 & 3 for a complete solution.
2. I then made sure all my Google related passwords within Keychain were correct using Keychain Access
3. I then ran Keychain First Aid from within Keychain Access
Once I had done all those things I was able to get back into iCal without any errors.

How do you delegate calendars in the new iCal?

The ability to delegate calendars was significant in deciding to roll out Leopard in our studio. However, I find no documentation in iCal or the manual regarding how to do that. What gives?

Yes, Apple's support site says look at iCal help but there's nothing in there about delegation.

Can't see delegate calendars on iPad

Hi,
I have Mountian lion 10.8.5 server, iCal server.
I am not able to see the delegates calender on iPad.
Thanks,
Prem

Was experiencing the same problem. Was using Exchange calendars with delegates. I just updated my iPad and just received iPhone 4s. Delegate calendars do show on iPad but not on iPhone 4s. Exact same calendar account settings on both. Thought it must be some glitch in iOS5.0 for iPhone.
Decided to change iPhone back to GoogleSync for delegates. Just had to go to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect and choose which calendars to sync. Disabled my original Exchange account on iPhone. All sorted now.

ICal opens with Delegate Calendar

I made a few changes to my iCal installation, trying to retrieve some Exchange calendars that I have shared access to and get my calendar colors to match on my iPad and iPhone. Now when I open iCal, it defaults to a shared Google calendar, rather than my main calendar view. What did I change, and how can I change it back? I've already tried closing the program with the main calendar view open, no change on the next open.

Found my own solution right after posting my question...I selected my delegate calendar from the window menu, and simply "closed" it. Now iCal opens with the main calendar view.

Delegate Calendars wont show in wiki?

10.6 server will not show the delegate calendars via the wiki access but ical brings them up fine.... Solutions?
Ditto with ical on Iphone4s....

I've got this problem too. And I use the same tactics described here: delete the folder: user/Library/Appication Support/iCal; plus the preference file: user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist. I have also deleted all events that repeat indefinitely (including the American Holidays calender I subscribed to).
When I restart iCal, at first I see an empty weekly panel, with just two start-up calendars, Work and Home, showing in the pane at the left. Then after 6-8 seconds, my other calendars appear, and the weekly panel fills with events. Everything has been restored.
However, if I close and re-open iCal, I have to go through the same process to get my calendars and events back.
This is a pain in the neck. Does Apple know about it?

Adding more calendars through Palm Online

I know you can do this by adding more calendars from google. But I cant seem to add more calendars to my general Palm WebOS Calendar app. My wife does not have Google. And she doesn't want to sign up. She has a pre plus and wants to be able to add more calendars and categories.
Anyway that on the Palm User login we can have an option to add more calendars to our pre/pixi's? Thanks for listening.

There is currently no option available for palm profile calendars.
You should pass this feedback along to the Palm engineering team, by adding this suggestion here

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.
