Bug in import iCal calendar

The bug can be seen when a calendar is introduced from CalDav. The calendar is then linked to a group. If a .ics calendar is imported, the group is proposed as a possibility for importation and if chosen then iCal enters in an infinite loop

How to fix a bug(?) in iCal/Calendar/Reminders?

The iCal/Calendar (fox OS X 8)/Reminders (OS X 8) app has this very annoying bug It's quite minor but it's quite confusing sometimes. Whenever I try to add a new event, the window that appears that will let me set the date, time, etc. always has 2011 (xx/xx/11) for the year. For example, if I want to set the event for July 29, 2012 ("07/29/12"), it still shows "07/29/11". I've been having this problem ever since I was on the iCal app on OS X Lion but now that I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion, the problem's still there with the Calendar as well as the Reminders app.
Please refer to the screenshot I included. You can see that I chose July 29, 2012 as the date for the Sample Event. But the date that shows on the "from" field is still 07/29/11. I don't know I they intended it to be like this but it is very confusing.
PS: The same goes if I add an event before 2011. If I, for example, add an event on July 29, 2010, it still shows "07/29/11".

Importing iCal Calendar into Google

I don't know if this is a problem with iCal or with Google, but here goes:
I'm trying to sync my iCal with my Google calendars... I want to import what I currently have in iCal into Google calendars so that everything with be in sync. I export my calendars from iCal, and then import them into Google. Some calendars work fine, but for others, I get this error message:
Processed zero events.
Failed to import events: Unable to process your iCal/CSV file..
Any ideas on what I can do? I tried it both before and after upgrading to Snow Leopard, and no change.

Thanks for the suggestion with BusySync. The problem I see with that is that it isn't an iCal plugin, but it launches an entirely separate application instead of iCal.
As for the problem at hand I'm wondering if it's related to repeating future/past events and/or the file size because of that?

Can't delete an imported iCal Calendar

long time ago I imported a some calendar about the moon it somehow became a part of a personal calendar of mine so I can't delete it without deleting all other items. Is there a way to select only this calendar and delete it?

Use the search box with terms like quarter, full etc to display the events in a list at the bottom of the window, from where you can delete them.

Can't import ical dates into iphoto calendar

Hi all,
I'm trying to make an iphoto calendar for a friend and I'm running into a frustrating problelm. My friend emailed me an ical birthday calendar which he would like to have included in the iphoto calendar. I imported the ical calendar into my own ical as a new calendar. I have created my calendar in iphoto but I cannot import these dates into it. When I go to settings and click the calendar tab I am given the option of which ical calendars I would like to import to my calendar. I see two, one is my own normal calendar and the other is the birthday calendar sent to me by my friend. I check the birthday calendar and then click ok and ical appears to be importing the dates but when I look at my calendar the dates have not imported. If I try importing my normal calendar I have no problem. What's going on here??? Please help I am getting really frustrated.

There are many video formats. iPhoto can't read all of them; in fact, it can't read most of them. Here's something that can:
VideoLAN - Download official VLC media player for Mac OS X
On the other hand, the videos are just files. You can copy them anywhere you want in the Finder.

Re-importing iCal into a calendar in iPhoto '11

so i figure out how to import my iCal into my project. then finished all the photo arranging. THEN got some new special dates that i inserted into iCal.
now i can't seem to re-import iCal to my finished project so everything is up to date.
i can find threads that say how to do it in older versions, there's a "re-import" option. but i can't find that in iPhoto '11.
please, please help, calendar must go to print before Jan ends!!

It appears that once you've selected a calendar and imported it you can make changes in iCal and have them updated in the iPhoto calendar. At least no way I've found. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
So you'll have to add those new dates manually.

How can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

how can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab.
Click on the + button to add an account.
In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
Under Server Options, add the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication option unchecked.
Click Add.
Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.
Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Apple and R keys at the same time.
Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.

Import Entourage Calendar Notes into iCal

Hello...
Is there a way to import Entourage Calendar Notes into iCal's notes section? When I imported my data into iCal, none of the notes went with it. Thanks!
Daniel

Daniel, You missed the point. Read the whole post and you'll see that boxhead was acknowledging the notes to which you refer in iCal, all boxhead was saying was that notes in Entourage does not equal notes in iCal.

Import Palm calendar to iCal

I would like to import Palm calendar 4.2.1 into iCal. Both are on an iMac 10.6.8 Any ideas?

Thanks, Niel. One follow-up, if you don't mind....does your response mean that once the calendar file on the Mac was created, adding items to the iPhone were considered a separate calendar file? If so, is it possible to have just one calendar file that is shared between the Mac and the iPhone?
Thanks.

Leopard iCal "Calendar Cache" subscription refresh bug persists in 10.5.3

The 10.5.3 Leopard update does NOT fix the infamous Leopard iCal "Calendar Cache" bug, as discussed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6660830 .
This bug, introduced with Leopard, prevents iCal from picking up modifications to events on subscribed calendars. The workaround is to delete "~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache" and then refresh calendars. The file deletion can be done automatically by a login Automator script as suggested by a contributor to the thread linked above.
This to me is one of the most embarrassing bugs introduced with Leopard. It has high impact (prevents use of iCal in an enterprise setting) while appearing to be a very simple bug and thus most likely very easy to fix.

Hmm, I did not get the "Calendar Cache could not be moved" message when I updated to 10.5.3.
The bug I'm referring to is different. It is a persistent bug in all Leopard versions to date. It prevents iCal from detecting modifications to subscribed calendars.
For example, say you subscribe to a baseball-game schedule. The organizers decide to change the date of a game in the calendar server. But you arrive at the field on the original date, surprised that you are the only one there. Why? Leopard iCal relies on stale cached information EVEN WHEN EXPLICITLY TOLD TO REFRESH SUBSCRIPTIONS.
The only way around it is to delete the "Calendar Cache" file and then ask for an iCal refresh ON A REGULAR BASIS since otherwise you don't know if subscribed events have been modified or not.
Or, use SunBird.
I don't think this has anything to do with the "file cannot be moved" error some folks are apparently seeing as part of the update to 10.5.3. That probably deserves its own thread?

ICal Calendar Colors Changing On Their Own; iCloud Connection

AGGRAVATING PROBLEM:
Many in this forum have written recently about a problem ongoing for people with multiple iCal calendars where iCal calendar colors change "automatically" when you haven't selected those colors, or even "change back" before your eyes to some color your DIDN'T select after you select a new one. If you log into iCloud on the Web and try to change the color of certain calendars, they refuse to change. Try as you might, the color you want for your calendar won't "stick" and it is forced to be the wrong color on all your devices. In some cases, even the names of some of the calendars cannot be changed. On other calendars in your list, the colors and names will change fine.
Related symptoms: Calendars you have deleted "come back."   Or, calendars you did not create yourself show up in your calendars list, such as "Calendar" or "Home" or even "Untitled." Note that the problem seems to be most prevalent with calendars with names "Home," "Work," OR either of these words in the NAME of the calendar. For instance, "Bob's Work" might get snagged (it can't be deleted without coming back or its color is stuck and "comes back").
I spent a long time on the phone with a helpful Apple senior advanced specialist on this problem today. We conducted a very large number of "experiments". Our family has two iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iMacs, so it was easy to rule things in or out. I will present some information that may help.
SOME OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOING ON:
First, Apple has not resolved this. But the problem appears to be related to iCloud, and NOT to individual devices. After de-linking all of my individual devices from iCloud, I could change any of the colors or names at will on any given device, create new calendars and then change their colors to whatever I wish, delete calendars, change names...no problem. However, after re-linking calendars to iCloud, all the problems mentioned above returned. The chances that my iMacs, iPhones, and iPads are all causing the problem independently is very low. They also have slightly different OS versions on them, so it is not likely an a particular device OS, though that could be indirectly related. Also, the colors "change back" within about the same time (usually a few seconds to up to 30 seconds) that it takes to do a "refresh" (i.e. an update) to the iCloud servers. This when iCloud is turned on, and the absence of it when iCloud is turned off (for calendars), strongly suggests that it is the iCloud server and its interaction with your devices that the fundamental cause of the problem.
Apple has said that they are aware of this problem and their engineers are working on a fix. Historically, this can mean just a few days, or it could be a few months, years, or "whenever." They don't give estimates of when it will be fixed. Exactly WHY this is happening is unclear, but my guess is that it is a modification to the iCloud server code that Apple implemented without testing it thoroughly enough to discover this problem. Apple does not admit to that, of course and I don't know if I am correct.
A WORKAROUND SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME:
Please note this is a workaround and not a full fix. Apple needs to run a patch on their iCloud server code. Until then, I did the following which seems to have worked for me for now. Read the whole list before deciding whether to proceed. I don't guarantee it will work in all situations.
Note...I found I was stuck for now with the color of ONE of my calendars. If you are like me, you want to keep that one and work around it....
Backup first... Make sure that your iCloud copy of your calendar data has the calendar event information you want to save - even if the color is wrong. Log in at www.icloud.com and do a refresh to sync to the Cloud. Check over your calendars online to make sure the event data appears to be there for all of your calendars (even if their color or name is not what you want).
Steps:
1.     Go to every device that you have linked to iCloud separately. Go into Settings, iCloud, and then uncheck the "Calendars" option. This delinks your calendars for that device to iCloud. As you do this on each device, when prompted, select "Keep On My" ..iPAD...iPhone...iMac... etc. This will preserve the calendar information on the device so it won't be deleted. I think this is safer, but you can click on "Delete" if you want, too. Note - if one of your devices is an iMac, with OSX Lion and before, you may be forced (I was) to delete the iCloud calendars from the iMac. So again, make sure they are backed up to the Cloud first (or somewhere else).
3.     With the iCloud Calendars Option on all your devices still turned off, go to the WEB and log into iCloud.com. You need to figure our which calendar iCloud won't let you change the color for. You probably already know. On iCloud.com, click on "Calendars," then click open your calendar list and select "EDIT" at the bottom of the dialog box. One at a time, click on the color dots next to each calendar name and try to change the color (you can put any back after the test if you want). You will probably see a certain one that just goes right back to what you don't want. This is the one for which the color is stuck, but you may be able to change the name of it now that your devices are unlinked from iCloud.
4.     Still in iCloud.com, change the names and colors of any of the other calendars you wish to change. Delete any empty calendars that mysteriously appeared without your wanting them. Take note of all the calendars, names, and colors that are on the final list of calendars.
5.     On EVERY device, BEFORE turning iCloud back on on ANY of them: Change the colors and/or names of calendars, delete calendars, etc. so that the calendar names and colors on the device are exactly the same as what you left in iCloud.com in the last step.
6.   One at a time on each device, go back to Settings and then "iCloud" and check again the box for "Calendars." You will be asked whether you want to "MERGE" your data with iCloud. I selected MERGE to ensure I didn't lose anything. Link each device again into iCloud one at a time.
7. When each device is back, go back to iCloud on the Web, or go into iCAL on one of your devices. Set to view ALL calendars. Look for duplicates of some of your events. I found quite several as an artifact of "merging", but in my case it only took me about 5 minutes to go through quickly and delete the duplicates. It deleted the duplicates on all of the devices at once, so I only needed to delete dups on one device. I did not find that I lost any events as long as I kept one valid copy.
Again, no guarantees...hope this works for others. Good luck.

I'm getting the same thing and it's really bugging me! Keeps changing colour to one I do not want and I have tried everything to get it to stay the colour I have chosen!!

HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas?

my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas on how to correct this? This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

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.

Can't Import ICS Calendars with 10.2.1.2941

Hi all,
in the last couple of days, I tried import ICS calendars on my Z10 running 10.2.1.2941, and each time, the Calendar app only imports one of the events in the calendar.
The first time, I created a calendar for the 2014 World Cup using iCalendar on OS X 10.9.3, put it in an e-mail, downloaded it from the e-mail on my Z10 and tapped on the file in the list of downloads. At that point, I simply got the Calendar app's New Event screen for only one of the events and an option to save or cancel.
The 2nd time, I tried loading the calendar from http://bclions.com/schedule/importSchedule?year=2014&team=1&timezone=America/Vancouver , which worked perfectly on my Macbook Pro, but on my Z10, I got the Calendar app's New Event screen for only one of the events.
This looks like a bug in BB10's Calendar app. Is there a workaround, other than synching with my laptop or Google Calendar ?
One more thing, on my Z10, I have one local calendar, two Google calendars and a Facebook calendar. Syncing with the Google and FB calendars work perfectly.
Thanks.

My O/S is windows 7 home edition, the error is :
Please make sure that write privileges are enabled or that disk is not full.
How to give grant write privilege ? coz I have granted connect, resource, all privileges to REP_OWNER, REP_USER, OWBSYS .. but still can't.
Thanks for advance.

ICal calendars no longer syncing to ipod using itunes after Snow Leopard

Help! I upgraded yesterday to the new Snow Leopard and I can no longer sync my calendars to my ipod 5G. I do not have an iphone and this is the only way I can see my calendars. Did Snow Leopard "update" the calendars so that iTunes can no longer see them? I get the error message that there is no calendars available to sync, when indeed, I have 10. Please help!

Hi, some more information...
I worked with Apple on the phone for three hours, to no avail.
the troubleshooting steps are as follows:
1. deleted from HD/username/Library/Caches the "com.apple.ical folder"
2. deleted from HD/username/Library/Preferences the file "com.apple.iCal.plist"
3. deleted from HD/username/Library/Calendars the "Calendar Cache" file
4. removed and reinstalled itunes
5. "restored" ipod to factory default settings
6. exported, deleted, and re-imported all calendars (individually)
7. plugged in ipod and tried to sync calendars - still not working...
This issue has been escalated up...
After seeing many posts with ical issues with Snow Leopard, I think I am not alone...
None of this has helped
