Alerts in iCal with a CalDAV Account

The alerts in my iCal when setting an appointment in my CalDAV account, don't appear.
If I set an event in my iCloud calendar the reminder will set in automatically as configured in preferences. But if I create an event in iCal under my CalDAV account then that event automatically erases the alert and I need to set the alert manually from every event, even though I have configured that every event has an alert.
My CalDAV account is a gmail account.

The second script is working but if I need to change the link it will not allow me to edit or delete it in iCal on my desktop. The only way to edit it is to use the online iCal in me.com.
And the worst problem is that the url does not show up on my iPhone iCal. The iPhone version of iCal has limited features. So if I'm away from the office on my iPhone I still have the problem of having no link to my iCal appointment. I still end up having to use both iCal and Contacts as separate Apps.
I still dont understand why Apple wouldnt make these 2 Apps work together! It seems so obvious! thanks anyway.

Why does iCal keep replicating CALDAV accounts?

I have this crazy thing going on with my iCal. It keeps creating replications of my work calendar. I've tried a number of things, like deleting files from the Library and starting fresh, disabling copies of the account, etc. Now it replicates so fast that I can't keep up and I have 30+ copies of the account.
While I really enjoy using Lion, I have had no end in iCal, Outgoing Mac Mail / SMTP, App freezing issues. Considering a clean install next.
Ideas folks?

This started happening to me today. OSX 10.7.2.
In iCal it spontaneously started creating 40, 50 duplicate CalDAV accounts at the same time, while the alert chime was going crazy. Took ages to delete all the accounts. And then it happened again later on.
This is the most ridiculous behaviour I've experienced on OSX. It's like something from Windows 95. At the same time it keeps prompting me for the CalDAV password, I put the right one each time but it still reappears. The two issues I think are related, but it renders iCal unusable, basically.

ICal multiplies my CalDAV account

Hi,
Since the upgrade to Lion I'm facing a weird behavior in iCal. My single CalDAV account is multiplied over and over again. Even if I delete them they show again.
It seems that removing the calendar from my account under System Preferences solves the issue, but obviously this shouldn't be the normal configuration (as far as I can tell).
The calendar is served by a Zimbra installation and I'm also using the Zimbra syncing application that doesn't seem to be part of the issue (I removed it and nothing changed).
Any help is appreciated.

Your calendar can only synchronized though the .Mac Sync framework—or, alternatively, through the use of Sync Together—or, be published through .Mac or a private WebDAV server.
It is not accessible on—or viewable on—your .Mac account itself.
It is, in fact, published for all the world to see (or, at least those who know its URL) and is not password protected but, it is write-protected to everyone, including you. This means that it can only be edited by you on your machine, or using another synchronized machine with which that machine is synchronized through a .Mac account.

Can't sync my iCal with my MM account, iPhone, iPad, etc- Can you help?

For some reason a few weeks ago, my iCal just stopped communicating with my iPhone, iPad, and my MobileMe account. Anything that I do in iCal only lives in iCal. On the left side of iCal, it lists the MM account, but there is a little triangle with a Caution Exclamation point inside. When I click on it it says...
The server responded with an error
The connection to account “[email protected]” failed because the network is unreachable.
I tired to reset the sync and when I did- all events in iCal are now gone. How do I get iCal back up and running and to sync with my MobileMe?
Help! Thanks,

Why would you make a new account? This will likely cause many problems. Just get you old account enabled.
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

How can i share ical with other iCloud accounts

I have an iCloud account and use ical, my husband opened another iCloud account and i would like to share my ical with him on his iPhone

Hey beachwhale,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to share a calendar from iCloud with another user. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Problems Setting Alerts on iCal with Yosemite

I am having problems setting alerts on iCal. Generally, I set for reminders at 1 day ahead, and then 2 hours ahead. When I enter the first alert everything is fine, and then on the second, the alerts switch places so that the one day before alert occurs as the second alert, and the 2 hours before as the first alert. Is there something I am missing? It is purely frustrating. Using Mac Book Pro, running Yosemite 10.10.1. Thanks!

First, verify you're using Calendar and not iCal, which was deprecated a long time ago.
Then, update OS X. 10.10.2 is the current release.
Using Calendar, I can't duplicate the problem, but perhaps I am misunderstanding your description of it. If you would kindly provide really simple step-by-step instructions, I'll try again and let you know what I observe. It could very well be a bug.

Dear Support,
I am using google calendar as my cal server (caldav).
I used to be able to add invitees using address book into the event in Snow. But in Lion, iCal rejecting drag and drop from address book to the event. The mouse turned into a stop sign.
This is a show stopper, is there work around ? Is there plan to fix this ?
Why are named got rejected ? This is a simple basic feature. Is there plan to fix this ?
Also in iCal, I cant seem to delete google calender event. I've seen several complaint also, is this fixed with a patch ?
Apple support, please help.

Hello ac9000 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you were to create a contact in your BlackBerry, does it sync to your Mac Address Boook?
In your BlackBerry Address Book if you go to Menu>Options, under Contact lists do you have an email account listed? If so, if you click into it, does this list sync wirelessley to this email account?
As for your Calendar, if you open your iCal do you have any calendars listed?
If you create a new Calendar and make a test entry, does this new Calendar sync to your device? If you create a Calendar appointment on your BlackBerry, does it sync to your iCal?

Setting up Wiki Calendars in iCal with Active Directory Accounts

I'm Having a little trouble wrapping my head around our Wiki Calendar Solution,
Id like to find a way to get the 10.6 Wiki Server Calendar's in iCal Client - using our active directory authentication.
I have a test 10.6 Server bound to our Active Directory with Wiki's up and running and am able to log in with AD account's and view and manage the Wiki Calendar - I can see how to subscribe to the calendar's - But I need full integration with iCal and maybe even Outlook - subscribing only provides read access.
anyone have any idea how his can be accomplished in and active directory setting - my searches have lead me to OD solutions and thats not going to work.

I don't know how much I'll be able to help, but I do have AD accounts using wiki services. Can you verify a few things:
1. The AD group is listed in the "Wiki Creators" box in Server Admin, yes?
2. If you open Terminal and run "sudo serveradmin settings teams:enableClearTextAuth", does it return "teams:enableClearTextAuth = yes"?
3. If you open System Preferences -> Accounts and then edit the directory servers, does the AD domain show as working normally?
Also, have you worked to isolate the problem? Have you tried creating an OD user to test against the wiki? Are the logs showing anything?

Can't sign into my ICal with my mobileMe account?

I have had an active mobileMe/ICloud account for years. When I try to log in it says the sign on or password is incorrect. I go to the ICloud page, sign in and I get
right in. I am trying to sync my calendars and other things between my IPhone and my Mac.

In order to be able to make full use of iCloud you are going to have to upgrade your operating system. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Problems with synchronizing iCal with iCloud accounts on my Mac Pro

I have problems with synchronizing iCal with iCloud calender accounts on my Mac Pro runnning OS 10.6.8
(error message "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" på handlingen CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.)
It works fine on iOS devices.

Due to lacking hardware driver compatibility i our graphic production environment we can't upgrade to Lion.
Does that mean that it after the closing of MobileMe is impossible to synchronize calenders to Mac's running OS 10.6.8 ??

All free/busy requests get error 403 in iCal with MobileMe

I'm playing for the first time with looking with my availability in iCal / Lion / MobileMe CalDAV accounts.
Everything else is working well with my calendars and Mobile Me.
I can add events, remove them, edit them, the sync is working well between the web interface and iCal on my Mac (10.7)
The only thing amiss is the availability window just logs an error to the console after a short time out.
It's error 403 which seems to be a permission denied error.
Do I need to grant permission for MobileMe to publish my free/busy status anywhere?
It it locked down until I allow sharing?
Is it tied to sharing a calendar some how?
Just sending a call out to others in case I'm missing something obvious. There are instances of this error on the boards with iCal and 10.6.6. so I presume it's more a server setup / service interruption than something I can change.
Thanks for any input - even if it's a "it works for me right now" or "I too can't get mobile me status in iCal"
(p.s. Mobile Me support says they can't help - talk with iCal people.)
(p.s. After two hours on the phone with iCal - it's back to the MobileMe people to try again. I figured I'd give a shout here before I try them again...)

I have a similar issue. My girlfriend is using a yahoo address and for the life of me I cannot send her an iCal invite from my me.com or mac.com address. It never shows up in her email, not in inbox, not in junk, not deleted. I get an exclamation point on her name in the iCal invite. I can send her invites from Gmail. I created a test account on yahoo and I can send invites to that test account.
Of course I can email her just fine. I can open the invite in iCal, select the down arrow on her name and select "send email" that works just fine. I try to "invite again" and nothing... this is maddening
I've deleted iCal cache, deleted her contact, tried just using her smtp yahoo address, i don't have this issue with anyone else that I know of...

ICal Alerts Disappear (synching with Google Calendar)

I'm synching three Google Calendars to iCal: two work accounts and a personal account, all running on Google apps. These calendars are all synched to my iPhone as well. I have the default alert setting in iCal set at 10 minutes. The problem is that the alerts don't seem to be synching up to Google calendar.
I noticed that none of my alerts were happening. After being late for a couple meetings as a result of this, I investigated. Here's what I've gathered.
The default alert don't seem to stick.
Additional alerts created in iCal don't stick either.
Alerts created on my iPhone stick and synch up to Google Apps just fine - they show up in the Google Apps web interface as expected. However, these alerts dont' synch down to iCal.
The problem is universal across all three accounts.
Unlike the ongoing "can't delete events via iCal" issue that's well documented (and incredibly still not fixed) there's no mention of an alerts synch issue on the CalDAV known issues page.
I had originally set up the Google accounts to have no default reminders added, so I wouldn't have to deal with the extra email/SMS reminders. I have now added a ten minute reminder to all these accounts as a workaround. Now, when I create events in iCal, the ten minute reminder sticks. I have no real idea how this works, but it's as if when synching, iCal sees that Google Apps has a ten minute reminder as well, and there's no conflict. However, if I change the reminder interval, it just disappears. Also if I add a second reminder, say 40 minutes to remind me to leave to drive somewhere, those simply disappear as well. It seems like the correct behavior would be to pass up whatever reminder is set in iCal to Google Apps - that's not happening.
This is happening in iCal 5.01, running on OS X 10.7.2. Really frustrating - anyone have any ideas on how to fix or further troubleshoot? Thanks!

So I got to researching again today, because the utility of calendars is greatly reduced without functioning reminders.
There's a thread over on Google Groups that started in December about this very issue. There wasn't much helpful info until two days ago when someone posted about types of alerts and support between Google and iCal:
If you set the default reminder in your google calendar preferences, when you add an event in ical, the default reminder shows up.
In google I selected "pop-up" for my default reminder type.
When you look at the type of reminder that is set in ical, if you had selected "pop-up" in google, you'll see ical calls it "message".
I've always preferred to use the "message with sound" option in ical. So I tried changing my default alarm within ical.
The reminder/notification/alarm disappeared when I changed it to "message with sound".
When I added a new reminder that was just a message, it showed up, and didn't instantly dissapear. It also synced with my google calendar as expected.
I can live without the "boink" sound when my alerts pop up on screen, so long as they're popping up and not disappearing. Hope this helps some, at least until it starts working like it used to.
I had looked at the type of messages supported, but assumed that "message with sound" would simpy become "message" which is a "popup" to Google. Seems like that would be a more elegant handling of message incompatibility - "translate" the alert to a similar alert type, instead of just dumping it. Lame.
Anyway - this is good enough. I don't care as much about the sound as simply having reminders again.

How to edit CalDAV Account Information on iCal?

I have just moved to Lion and have set up several CalDAV accounts to connect to Google Calendar (Delegates won't work with iSync). Everything went well, iSync is able to pick up the CalDAV calendars and do a sync... I'm happy except for one thing.
Under the iCal Calendar List, each CalDAV calendar is listed under a separate heading (or title / description). Is there a way to change these headings/titles/descriptions to something more meaningful? Currently, it is showing GOOGLE, WWW.GOOGLE.COM, [email protected], etc..
Any help is greatly appreacited. Thank you!

iSync is able to pick up the CalDAV calendars and do a sync...
iSync doesn't exist in Lion and never had anything to do with syncing CalDAV calendars. iSync was only ever for setting up and syncing third-party mobile phones via a USB or Bluetooth connection using the underlying SyncServices framework. SyncServices is deprecated in Lion.
Keeping CalDAV calendars "in sync" is handled by iCal itself by reading the calendars on the server when it is open.
Is there a way to change these headings/titles/descriptions to something more meaningful?
System Preferences > Mail, Contact & Calendars > Click the account > Click Details... > Change the description.

The calender on my iPhone 4 with iOS 6 no longer syncs with iCal 4.0.4 on my mac OS 10.6.8. However it is syncing with my iCloud account. Can someone help me with this?

The calender on my iPhone 4 with iOS 6 no longer syncs with iCal 4.0.4 on my mac OS 10.6.8. However it is syncing with my iCloud account. Can someone help me with this?

FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

ICal default alert always Message with Sound? (10.7.3)

Please, can I have an option to change this setting? If I set the preferences to generate an alert with new events, it always has 2 alerts, one message and one sound (I think it is a recording of one of the mechanical parts of a MBP breaking ). Is that normal behaviour. I see it independent of the backend (local calendar, Exchange, Google, you name it.) Message is fine, but I don't want (any) sound.

I have the same problem, but I'm not using MobileMe. When I create an event in my iPhone4 (IOS4.1) with an alert, I want this event to show up in iCal with an alert of "Message with sound" after syncing with iTunes. Otherwise I have to check every new event that I created on my iPhone again on my Mac to change the alert type. Probably some people want it otherwise and would rather have the "Message" (without sound) type of alert, so the best thing would be to have the choice between sound or no sound on the iPhone when entering a new event with an alert.
