Adding YouTube upcoming events to iCal

When I go to add an "Upcoming event" to "iCal" from YouTube, it will add the event to iCal, but the link to the YouTube video will be part of the event title.
Is this a bug, and/or is there a workaround so that the link to the YouTube video gets added to the url property of the iCal event so that I can simply click on the url to bring up the video.
Thanks

I'm struggling with the same dilema too. Any know how to get Outlook calendars into iCal?

How to remove upcoming events from iCal's day view

Is there any way to remove the Upcoming Events list (on the left) from the Day view in iCal?
They are distracting!

Are these the components you need?
I may have misunderstood.

ICal day view upcoming events list--can it be turned off?

Just upgraded to 10.7 and the changes to iCal (v. 5.0.3) are horrifying. I plan most of my daily work on iCal and really need the Day view of the calendar to fill most of the window and show more details on my calendar items as it did before in 10.6. As it is now, the left half of the screen is now taken over by a list of upcoming events which gives the daily view too little space, so all my calendar items and notes are truncated. Makes it very difficult to work with. Is there a way to turn that upcoming view off? I don't understand why it's there. If I've selected "day" as my view option, it stands to reason that I don't need upcoming events for this week. The rationale behind that being there taking up all that unnecessary space is beyond me.
Barring that, anyone have any suggestions for an iCal replacement? I have a long list of other complaints but this one is a big one. If I can't fix this, I need to move on to something else.

Same question here... over a year later! Mine's about iCal 6, but it's the very same issue.
Cannot stand the scrolling list of events. When I select a day view, I want to concentrate on that day's events-- and not see a long list of other events for other days!
Rick, did you ever find a solutiion? Maybe there's a hidden Terminal command to turn it off. I kept looking for dot within the pane divider to collapse it, but it's not there. Nor is there an option under Preferences!
Long live Snow Leopard and the old iCal!

When I launch my iCal it keeps "adding a new event" over and over

When I launch my iCal it keeps "adding a new event" over and over and over. It never lets me actually get into the iCal aplication? is there a way I can clear and reset mt iCal calender?

Greetings William,
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard. You will see "Library" in the menu.
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Adding address from Adress Book to event in iCal?

Hi,
First of all i'm sorry if i'm not using the proper terms since I use iCal in French.
OK, when adding event in iCal I would like to specify the address by simply selecting a person or compagy in my Address Book but it doesn't seems to be possible?
It would be nice to have it implemented just like the guess! It would then sync to my iPhone and it would be really easy for me to check the road map after in Google maps' iPhone.
If not possible, where can I request that feature?

Greetings,
You could Invite the person who's address it is. That should add the information, I think.

Adding event in iCal on ipad2

I just got an iPad 2 and I am unable to add events in iCal. There is no + symbol and I am unable to add a new event by tapping, double tapping, or holding the screen. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My problem is that there is no plus sign. I have no add button and I can't click on times to enter a new event. Is there a software update to fix this?

Recognizing dates in mail and adding events to iCal

How do I make OSX recognize dates in mail and add events to iCal?
This works on my laptop, but not my iMac. They have the same new version of OSX and iCal.
I cant figure out what setting makes this work on one machine and not the other.
Thanks
CM

First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
If the issue persists:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV, exchange, etc.) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Hope that helps.

"upcoming events" snippet/widget for iweb

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to create an upcoming events snippet for an iweb page. Here's what I would like to do: I am an athletic director and would I have entered all of my school's athletic contests into iCal. I would like to set up something in which iWeb can pull the events out of iCal (I have mobileme) into a "week at a glance" type of display on our athletics page (made with iweb). Ideally it would automatically update so that as events are completed, the next events would show up.
I know how to embed an iCal calendar into iWeb, but that is not the solution that I am looking for.

I don't know how to make an iCal calendar default to the week view automatically for all viewers. Each viewer has the option to select which view it would like. There is a possible way to do what you want. embed the calendar on a blank page in your site and remove it from the navbar. Set that calendar to the week view as seen in this demo page: iCal calendar
Then add an HTML snippet with iFrame code to the page you want it to show on and set the frame dimensions so that it just includes the calendar. The calendar is sort of tall and would take up an entire page. It can't be scaled.
One the other hand, you can embed a Google calendar, have the week view as the default view and scale in withd to to whatever size you'd like. An example is on this demo page: Google calendar.
The Google map is supposed to be able to display an iCal calendar (see the triangle to the right of Agenda at the top) but I've not been able to get it to work. IMO the Google map is the way to go and more than just you could update it if need be.

IPhone 4S - MacBook Pro sync causes multiplying events in iCal although no iCloud in use

Hey,
I read quite a few threads here as well as googled for my problem, but none of the solutions helped. Mainly the issue was that iCloud account was interfering with the sync between Mac and iPhone. However, I don't use iCloud. I just sync between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4S. So this is happening (it started probably after updating to iOS 6.1 - before that everything was fine):
Usually syncing between my Macbook Pro and my iPhone 4S was flawless. If I made changes in my iCal on my iPhone I could see the new events on my Macbook Pro iCal as well (after the sync obviously) and the same vice versa.
However, after the update (I suppose) to iOS 6.1 all the changes that I made to my iCal on my iPhone didn't sync anymore to my iCal on my Macbook Pro. If I added a new event on my Macbook Pro iCal it was synced to my iPhone 4S - so far so good. However, if I make a change to an already existing event in my iCal on my MBP and then sync with my iPhone again it doesn't apply the change on my iPhone, but creates a new event.
So, in most cases I change the time of the event, but instead of syncing the new time a new event is created. The same goes if I change the location or name. The time stays the same, but a new event is created with the changed name and suddenly I have to events at the same time.
Meanwhile my iPhone iCal is devastated with events all over the place so that there's no use possible.
I checked all my settings in iTunes as well as on my iPhone, but can't find any setting wrong.
I'm using:
OSX 10.6.8
iOS 6.1.3
iCal 4.0.4
NO iCloud - only iTunes to sync directly via USB with my iPhone 4S
Need your help, please!
Thank you!
PS: I read those threads, but they weren't helpful since always iCloud issue:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check which accounts your calendars are in, only iCloud accounts will sync. (you can use the calendars button in the top left corner of iCal to see which calendars are in which accounts.

Setting default times for events in ical.

When setting an event in ICal on my Mac (Im using Lion 10.7.5) if I double click to start an event, it places an event on the day I clicked on. Im in the month view. When I go into the event to set the time, the default is 10 am to 6 pm and I have to reset it to an hour long event. I do know that if I type in the time at the end of the event name, eg. Meet Mary 7 pm, the event will have an hour long duration in the calendar. Is there a way to change the default for my first method of clicking to create a new event by double clicking in the day square for the event? Thanks.

Hi BumbleBBB,
The article below will explain the parameters for adding events to the Calendar:
iCal 5.x: Add events to a calendar
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return. For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.
I hope this information helps ...

Events in iCal disappearing after a month

When I look back in iCal to previous month and beyond, all the events that I added (non-repeating events) are gone. I see the Calender events we subscribe to (jewish holidays), birthdays and repeating events but not the ones I added.
I rely on my calendar to serve as my memory of past events so this is causing some issues. Any ideas how to stop this? My husband, who is much better at this stuff than me, has "tried everything" and has given up. Any ideas?

In the preferences menu for iCal - not System Preferences - there is an "Advanced" tab. Click on that and you'll find a number of options having to do with hiding and deleting both events and ToDos and what you want iCal to do with a couple of other features. Make sure that the "Delete events _ days after they have passed" check box is empty. If it is checked, that's probably the source of your problem.

Imported events in iCal not syncing to iPhone

Hello,
I am having trouble getting events on from iCal to appear in my iPhone. I am using iCloud to sync events.
Here is the setup: I have a "work" calendar. I added events to this calendar by exporting them from Outlook and importing them to iCal. All the imported events appear in iCal and in the iCloud web interface. However, when I sync with my iPhone, none of the imported events appear. If I manually create an event in iCal, it appears on the phone and vice versa.
If I turn off iCloud calendars on the phone and sync using iTunes and the USB cable, all the imported events appear normally too. So it's just wireless syncing where somehow the phone doesn't download the events that were imported.
Any suggestions? I've tried turning iCloud off and on, deleting the calendars, and so on.
I'm using iOs 5.1.1 and 10.8.2.

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

So syncing new events on iCal is not automatic?

I have 2 computers and an iPhone and it is very important that I keep my calendars and event alarms in sync but this has been a problem since "upgrading" to the new Calendar beta. Now, when I add an event on, say, my home iMac (running Snow Leopard) and either immediately close iCal or if I add it through Mail, the event does not show up on my MacBook, iPhone, or Mobileme unless I go back to the iMac and actually open iCal. Also, let's say I make a change to an event on my iPhone, the change is not reflected in iCal on either computer until I open iCal (imagine the consequences if I happen to not have my phone with me).
I have searched the forum to see if there's a solution to this problem besides keeping iCal at home open all the time, but I haven't found an answer.
Adding a work an event on my home computer's calendar only to have it stay there isn't much use. This is one of the main reasons I'm paying for MobileMe!
I'd really appreciate any suggestions because this problem is just about to drive me nuts. Thanks.

I have been having the same problem; when adding events from mail, they will show up in my iCal Events widget, but will not sync to the phone until I launch iCal. This has only started happening fairly recently, but I can't pinpoint exactly when. I have tried having the calendar set to sync via push and every minute, neither of which has any effect.
This is very aggravating, especially when I have added a new event with specific details that, like Dr. Jones Sr., I have written down so I wouldn't have to remember, and then am out with only my phone which does not have the info.
Please help!
Thanks.

Calendar Widget Not Showing Upcoming Events

I've upgraded to the latest N900 firmware (pr1.2) and ever since I have had a problem with the calendar widget. All the events are contained in the calendar when I open it however they are not displayed on the desktop widget.
I've got events loaded for the month of June but for some reason these are not showing. Instead I have events showing for July, September and even December. I've tried removing all the entries and the re-adding them but this hasn't solved the problem. I also created another calendar and placed the entries in the new one, again this didn't work.
Does anybody have any idea how I can resolve this problem.

I have exactly the same problem with the Calendar Widget not showing all upcoming events. It will show events way in the future but skip events inbetween. I've tried all day with PC Suite 7.1 and Outlook 2007 and some freshly entered events come across for unknown reasons whilst others do not. No amount of changing local entries to synchronized ones, deleting all calendar info from the phone and re-syncing by USB cable or Bluetooth solves the problem.
It worked fine before and, as you say, corresponds with the recent n900 software update.
I SINCERELY HOPE NOKIA READ THESE BULLETIN BOARDS.
Also, why isn't there a fully compatible PC Suite or Ovi Suite for the n900? I have a PC running Windows 7 and Nokia have told me in the past that they do not have a fully functional, compatible PC/Ovi Suite for Windows 7 and the n900.
IF ANYONE CAN HELP I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT
