CalDAV calendars sync as read-only

Hi!
I have a CalDAV calendar in iCal (Leopard 10.5.4) and can read-write-delete in iCal just fine. It syncs over to my iPod Touch, but as a read-only calendar--as if it were something I subscribed to. Is there a way around this? I imagine the same thing would happen on an iPhone.
Thanks!
Corey

Not to get off topic--but let's keep this to syncing CalDAV calendars to the iPod Touch and not a wish list of other features.
I'm still trying to find out if this is possible--having a CalDAV calendar sync to the iPod Touch as a read-write calendar.
Anyone else with some relevant feedback?
Thanks!

Only 2 out of 7 CalDAV calendars sync to iPhone

Hello all,
I am trying to host CalDAV calendars on my own LAN. I downloaded and installed Apple Server, got a certificate, and enabled push notifications in the Server application Calendar pane. Then I exported all of the calendars on my machine to .ics files, and imported them onto the server. There are 9 different calendars. They all show up in the Calendar apps on the 4 computers at home, and events added on one computer show up on the others as expected. We have 3 iPhones in the family. After adding the CalDAV accounts on the iPhones, only 2 of the 9 CalDAV calendars show up on the iPhones. The same 2 calendars show up on all the phones, and the same 7 calendars are missing on all the phones. When I touch "Calendar" at the bottom of the screen in the Calendar app on the phone, the names of all 9 calendars are visible, with check marks next to them indicating that they should be visible in the calendar, but no events on those 7 missing calendars show up. I've tried altering the push/fetch settings in the iPhone preferences to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Spalding

Close iPhoto and open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot,
Locate and move the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Desktop. (Do no make any other changes to the contents of the package!)
Launch iPhoto and try syncing again.

CALDAV, Calendar sync

Hello,
I would like to sync my N5800 with an shared/online iCal calendar using CALDAV.
I used to sync my iCal using CalGoo to GCal to sync to my phone. But since we switched for a network iCal at work, that solution is no longer available since there are no more local .ics files. Anyways, if I can leave GCal aside, I wouldn't mind.
I also tried OVI, but that seems to be a pure backup solution.
Is it really possible that Nokia can't sync using CALDAV yet?
Is there no application that can provide a simple sync feature with an online iCal/CALDAV calendar?
I really don't want to get an iPhone. But it seems to be the only solution. Is that really possible?
Thanks for your ideas....

I'm still looking for CALDAV support on Nokia (Symbian OS), but to no avail.
However, there is a blog saying about this possibility: http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/CalDav, I'm checking on it.

Exchange: contacts sync from read-only folder

In the past, I have been able to set up a device to get its contact info from a read-only Exchange public folder (set with one-way sync). Setting up a replacement device, that option is greyed out and the folder in question cannot be selected. Desktop software version is 7.0.0.43; device is a Tour 9630 running OS 5.0. Help? We are not running BES.

I am going to give followup.
The problem was corruption of my brand new Imac 27. I went around and around with applecare and they finally figured out that my preferences were corrupted. Usuallly that can be fixed but they were unable. Basically, everytime I set the right connection to gmail up, it changed it...
Finally, I set up a new user account on my mac. I logged into that user and started all over again. Now everything works.
I spent hours and hours on this... I bought a mac because "It just works" No more fooling with the registry and spending forever in dread with tech support. OK, so Mac doesn't have a registry. It has libraries. I spent forever fixing it.. Felt just like my Windows experience. Hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come.

Tried to backup iCal now it's a READ-ONLY calendar! Help!!!

I tried to backup my calendar before I attempt to install the Missing Sync to link my iCal to my Blackberry..I ended up getting a calendar with Most of my entries duplicated and now my calendar says its "read-only" so I can't modify it..I TOTALLY depend on my calendar for my livelihood and can't afford to lose my calendar data for the last 3 years....Can I undo what I've done?????? Thank you! Trishann

Trishann,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I tried to backup my calendar before I attempt to install the Missing Sync to link my iCal to my Blackberry..Can I undo what I've done??????
How did you backup your calendar, i.e. what do you have for an iCal backup.
How many calendars do you have?
Are any of them subscribed/birthdays?
iCal Help Topic "If you can't change an event or calendar" says:
If you can’t change an event or calendar, check the following:
If it’s a calendar to which you’ve subscribed, you can change the calendar name but you can’t change its events or to-do items.
If you were invited to an event, you can change only your status for the event, the calendar where the event appears, and the event alarm.
You can’t change or delete events on the Birthdays calendar. (To show the Birthdays calendar, select “Show Birthdays calendar” in iCal preferences.) To change the birthdays that appear, open Address Book (in your Applications folder) and make your changes there. For more information, in Address Book choose Help > Address Book Help.
Open Address Book
If you can’t change a single event’s time zone or the iCal time zone, time zone support may be turned off. Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and then make sure the “Turn on time zone support” checkbox is selected.
If you want to change events on a calendar that you published on the Internet, but you’ve deleted the calendar from your Calendars list, you need to re-create the calendar with all its events, give it the same name as the published calendar, and then publish the new calendar. The new calendar will replace the previously published one.
If you can’t change an event for which you are the organizer, or you can’t change the attendee settings for an event you’ve been invited to, make sure all your email addresses are listed on your Address Book card (the card marked “me”).
If you do not get any answers here, I would recommend that you contact Missing Sync Support Center for help.

Automator plug-in added to read-only calendar in iCal

I was trying the 'Tiger Tip of the Week' about creating an Automator workflow saved as an iCal Alarm plug-in. Unfortunately, it added it to the 'Holidays' calendar, which is read-only. I found where the plug-in was saved in my library and deleted it, but the 'Boston Globe' event was still on my calendar. Luckily, I was able to unsubscribe and re-subscribe to the US Holidays shared calendar and make it disappear, but what did I do wrong? I didn't have any options available when saving as a plug-in.

One way I've gotten around some weird problems like this in the past is to export my calendars to the Desktop, and then re-import them back into iCal. I'm not sure if this will work for you, however. You also might try backing up and restoring via File->Back up iCal... . Hope that helps.
Edit: if the problem is related to a calendar you've published, Apple offers these suggestions (from iCal Help):
■ If you want to change events on a calendar that you published on the Internet, but you’ve deleted the calendar from your Calendars list, you need to re-create the calendar with all its events, give it the same name as the published calendar, and then publish the new calendar. The new calendar will replace the previously published one.
■ If you can’t change an event for which you are the organizer, or you can’t change the attendee settings for an event you’ve been invited to, make sure all your email addresses are listed on your Address Book card (the card marked “me”).

Making Marketing Calendar Read only for Trade Promotion

Hi,
We are trying to use Marketing Calendar in CRM 7.0 to view the trade promotions. But the client wants the Marketting Calendar to be read only view. The end users should not be able to drag the TPs to extend the date. Also they should not be able to create, copy or delete the TPs. These end users will be able to create TPs when going through the TP link.
Please advise how can I achieve this.
Regards
Kavitha

Hi Kavitha,
This feature in introduced in the new Integrated Marketing Calendar. See if you can use it.

Calendar Sync/Outlook 2007 Issues

Help! I have a 8330 through Verizon and have major calendar sync issues that only seem to be getting worse. I'm using Outlook 2007 running Vista-Business. My Blackberry had been syncing fine for the first few months, but a week ago the calendar sync stopped working/crashing during the sync process (canceling the task). Address book, memo pad, and tasks still sync OK. Now the system does not even indicate the Calendar is trying to sync., it just bypasses that part of the sync process entirely even though I definitely have Calendar checked off in DTM. I have two email accounts associated with the Blackberry, hotmail, and my business email (through Gmail). I would like to be able to use two calendars but simply read them as one on Outlook and the Blackberry. I want to ensure all mtg requests sent to either email address post to one calendar. Prevous to my sync issue, I have had issues where I accept an appt on my blackberry, but the message gets deleted from my Outlook, then unfortunately I can not sync it to my Outlook. I've tried many of the suggestions posted on previous threads with no luck, and would appreciated help from anyone who can walk me through this.
One last issue I seem to have now is that when I send an email through Outlook it automatically posts the sent mesage on my Blackberry, even though I have Hide Sent messages selected in Email Options. Very Confused?????
thanks

Same problem here. The blackberry calendar has two sets of calendars. I can set the BB to show both, but only one syncs with Outlook.
Two questions:
1) How do I sync both calendars with Outlook for a combined view on Outlook?
2) Or, how do I convert calandar items on the BB from one email account to another?
Any help appreciated

IPad calendar sync

Why a calendar entry made into my Ipad 2 does not sync with my Mac, if i do it from the Mac no problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

ICloud calendar syncing

CalDAV Calendars are Read-Only?

When trying to add a CalDAV calendar (Google Calendar in this case), the end result is that it is a read-only calendar.
I can not add/edit/delete anything from the calendar and even the edit option for the events doesn't even show up.
Does anyone here have a Google Calendar CalDAV calendar account that is read/write? This includes both the primary calendar and shared calendars (manually added as separate accounts).
NOTE: Please do not suggest ActiveSync. That is not working for some people anymore and is no longer a viable alternative. We need to figure out this CalDAV business at some point.

Same issue for me. The Knowledge Base notes the issue, but has no resolution yet: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB33470
I thought I would use iCloud instead, but ran into this: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB33729

Creating read-only calendars for syncing

How can I create a read-only or protected calendar?
Is it possible to create a calendar which, after syncing with the family computer, would be read-only, protected or non-editable, by the family computer user?
Thank you,
cj

You're mixing metaphors here: 'publish and subscribe' and 'synchronize' are two independent processes. You can do both, but most users generally limit sharing calendar information to one or the other.
Publication creates a read-only, public object to which others can subscribe if they know your calendar URL. Calendars can be published on .Mac or on a private WebDAV server.
Synchronization allows the sharing of calendar data in read-write fashion across multiple machines or devices, generally for a single user. Groups can, to a limited extent, share such data with a .Mac family pack, or can use SyncTogether to share data among mixed workgroups, on a single machine among multiple users, across a subnet or over the internet.
How you enable these technologies depends upon what you want to achieve. If you want a calendar to be viewable by someone but not editable, then you publish it and let them know that they can subscribe to it. If you want someone to be able to edit one or more calendars on a selective basis, then you use SyncTogether to synchronize them by allowing another user read-write access to a collection (but not necessarily all) of your calendars.
You are starting at the head end of the process and attempting to configure these tools to offer services. What you need to do is just the opposite: determine what outcome you want to achieve, then configure one or more of the technologies to support that specific outcome. With SyncTogether, you can do that on a different basis for each synchronized user in your workgroup.
Publish only if you are willing to let non-editable data exist publicly. Subscribe if you want read-only access to one or more calendars. Synchronize if you want multiple users to be able to add, change or delete event and task data.

Calendar sync using caldav

I have a Z10 STL100-3 (Bell Mobility) running BB 10.2.1.3247 (release 10.2.1.2977).
Recently setup office email, contacts (using carddav) and calendar (using caldav), in addition to my personal email/contacts/calendar from my gmail account. Work Email and contacts sync absolutely perfectly on my Z10.
However I am experiencing the following issue with my work calendar syncing. It seemed to sync fine for the first week or so. However, for the past few days, when I open my calendar on Z10, no work appointments are in the calendar. Note that I have calendar set to sync every 5 minutes.
If I swipe down, and select "Refresh" after about 5-6 minutes my work appointments come back and appear. However, the next time I open calendar I have to repeat these steps to see my work appointments.
I have tried a hard reboot, battery pull, eery trick I can think of, to no avail.
Even with no work appointments showing (ie. no refresh), I can create a work appointment on my Z10, and it syncs back successfully to my office Ouitlook account (through Kerio Outlook Connector).
This is making me crazy. As I said, contacts using carddav has no issues, only calendar using caldav.
Any help would be appreciated.

Only one gCal sub-calendar syncs with iPhone

1. I have just added my gCal CalDav account to my iPhone list. I have followed the direct gCal --> iPhone syncing instructions very very carefully. It turns out, however, that only one of my various gmail sub-calendars syncs, and all the rest stay practically invisible. What do I do wrong?
2. Also, I was able to CalDav sync gCal <--> iCal, and these sub-calendars do appear on my iCal, but as delegations. Weirdly enough, the delegations stay invisible to iTunes, and thus preventing me to sync iCal --> iPhone.
3. When the dust settles down, I have on my iPhone only a partial representation of my gCal calendars. Help is highly appreciated!

Ah ha, I found a workaround! This is using iOS 4.
1. Set which calendars are shared by Google Calendar via CalDAV at:
https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
2. On the iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account... -> Other -> Add CalDAV Account
Server: www.google.com
User Name: (your gmail address)
Password: (your gmail password)
Description: gcal
This creates a gcal section in the iOS 4 Calendar app after the From My Mac section, which contains my (default) gcal calendar, and the other calendars I shared via the top url.
All of this is, I think, independent of which calendars iCal uses and which calendars you told iTunes to sync to the iPhone.
