Can I get iCal to respond to Google Calendar invitations?

Ever since MobileMe forced everyone to switch to the new CalDAV calendars, iCal.app stopped responding to iCalendar (ICS) invitations that I receive via email from Google Calendar users. Here's what's happening:
I receive a Google Calendar email, open it in Mail.app, and double-click on the ICS email file attachment.
Mail passes the ICS to iCal.app, which automatically creates a new calendar entry. However, the only choice I have for the new even under the "NOTIFICATIONS" side pane in iCal is an "OK" button. (Prior to the MobileMe Calendar update, I could accept or decline a meeting from the Notifications pane.)
I can open the meeting in iCal to reveal "Maybe", "Decline", and "Accept" buttons, but—for example—choosing the Accept button doesn't send an iCalendar email response back to the meeting organizer. The fact that I just accepted the event is also not reflected in iCal. Furthermore, iCal doesn't let me edit or add a new alarm to the event.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions for how to restore the old behavior!
P.S. Here are links to two other calendaring issues that cropped up since the MobileMe change:
How do I set the meeting organizer email address for the new CalDAV calendar?
Can I get Google to recognize my iCal invitations?

I have the same problem and it is not limited to Google Calendar invitations. Very frustrating! I can't find a solution anywhere other than replying to the invite message manually ... very poor workaround.

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

I have ical on two computers. Can't get ical (vers. 4) with OS 10.6 to copy to older desk top with OS 10.4 with ical vers 2. Is there a way to do this?

No. iCal isn't just the program you open to see the calendars, there are other things going on beneath the surface, and it's hooked into the System. 10.4 doesn't have the facilities to run iCal intended for 10.6.

I can not get LabVIEW to respond to a VB6 ActiveX event

I am working with a VB6 ActiveX dll (VBtablet.dll is a wrapper for Wintab32 for a tablet interface) using LV8.2.1 and can not get it to respond to an event. I have opend the object and registered it for callback, but have had no luck in having an event generated. Is there anyway to see these events generated or at least that it has been registered? The dll has no problem working in a VB app or in Excel using a VB macro. Is there anything special that has to be in the ActiveX object to get LabVIEW to respond to it?
When I register the callback I use a control reference of the data being returned as my "user data" and in the callback VI I wire the event data into the "Value" of the control reference. I believe this is all I have to do. Any ideas would be helpfull.
Thanks,
Paul

I am able to see that events are generated from the dll, but somewhere between the ActiveX object and LabVIEW it is disconnected. Is it possible that LabVIEW is excepting these events and not allowing then into the code. The path as I see it is
dll -> WinAPI -> ActiveX -> LabVIEW
One thing this dll requires is a windows handle and I am wondering if LabVIEW itself is reads the events directly instead of ignoring them. The reason I bring it up is that the tablet works like a mouse and I am wondering if it is absorbing these commands directly and not allowing them to be passed through the ActiveX object. Like this
dll-> WinAPI -> LabVIEW
therefore the event is never generated. That is why I wish I could speak with someone at NI that could explain that process better, but it seems like there is no one at NI who knows any high level issues.
First this are not high level issues but lowest low level issues. Some of it certainly is more Windows related than LabVIEW so support from MS, as unlikely it is to get that, would be at its place. NI people are not there nor can't really help you debug your VB issues.
Second you say it is a tablet and works like a mouse, then I'm wondering if Windows is not simply claiming it as a Human Interface Device itself and not really letting you control it yourself in your VB control.

I can't get iCal to stop importing

I can't get iCal to shut down

rjorden,
Force quit iCal. >Force Quit>iCal.
Then remove the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the .plist file to your desktop.. Also go to your HD/Users/yourusernam/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal/Calendar for functionality.
To find the correct Library Folder for Preferences/Calendar, select Finder>Go and depress the Option key.

MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way. Now that you can't remove the battery, I don't know how to get it to quit, although it doesn't appear to be making any noise, so might have quit on it's own. Any ideas? Thanks!

I honestly don't remember what it came with though I do remember having two drives so long ago. Since then I've had to replace them with newer, faster ones, and just didn't really need a second drive. I don't copy cds, I just need something to read DVDS (which the current one doesn't seem to want to do) and occasionally burn something.
I bought the MacPro becuase I am a tireless multitasker, having super memory eating programs on at all times. Right now I am working in Photoshop while watching a movie, with two P2P programs open, two chat programs and surfing the internet, with two monitors active so I can see everything.. I can't imagine the average pc doing this wthout blowing up Mac Pros are the ultimate computer for those that like to do a lot at once.
The speed and memory capacity of the Mac Pro make it the best computer hands down to handle a mind that can't be satisfied with doing just one thing at a time!
And six years after buying it, it can still eat the average pc for breakfast How's that for great?

I can't get ical events to overlap

I can't get ical events to overlap. I prefer overlap as opposed to side-by-side. Help as to how to get overlap?

Make sure you are filing in the "Repeat" and "End date" fields for the event (on the Edit pane).

How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.

Can I get iCal 2 (particularly Calendar groups feature) on OS X 10.3.9 ?

I'm sure it's a simple question but I can't find anything to say either way...
Can I get iCal 2 (particularly Calendar groups feature) on my OS X 10.3.9 iBook or do I have to upgrade?
Since I was first persuaded to get a mac a couple of years ago I've been going on about having groups for my calenders and how simple it must be, since you can group things heirachically in most other apps. So I'm pleased to see it's in iCal 2 however I get the impression that means I have to find the money and the disk space for an upgrade before I can get groups.
Am I right or is there some wonderful way I can just upgrade iCal?
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You cannot upgrade to iCal 2 without installing Mac OS X 10.4 at minimum, as critical Mac OS X 10.4 frameworks which it requires, and Address Book 4, which it is designed to exchange data with, are not present in earlier releases of the operating system.

Can't get iCal and Address Book to sync properly

I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Since then, I can't get iCal and Address book to sync properly with Entourage 2008 (I did set all three sync criteria in Entourage preferences). None of Entourage's events go into iCal (iCal is blank) and the Address Book has 10 times as many names as Entourage. Everything in Entourage 2008 is correct and everything in iCal and Address Book is essentially wrong.
Is there some way for me to erase everything in Address Book and iCal and start the sync between them and Entourage from scratch? Ultimately, I am trying to get Entourage to sync with my new Blackberry, which it does through iCal and Address Book using Missing Sync. I can't make this happen until information is flowing properly from Entourage to iCal and Address Book.
Thank you!

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA IN ENTOURAGE.
You can delete everything in iCal by deleting the calendar (Entourage or Personal or temp or whatever Calendar is there). You can delete everything in Address book either by highlighting all the contacts and hitting delete or by deleting the Address Book folder in Address Book.
The key in getting them to sync properly with Entourage is deleting all the preferences in your Library folder under <your user>. Delete anything with Microsoft Entourage in it. I also deleted iCal preferences and Address Book Preferences.
I also found it necessary to go to the Office folder and delete the sync services folder.
Also go to Entourage sync services and turn OFF syncing with iCal and Address Book. Exit Entourage.
Go to your application folder, isync - reset sync history (button at bottom of screen).
Then bring up Entourage, sync services, and reactivate syncing with iCal and Address Book.
Everything should work. I have been struggling with this the last week or two. I've had innumerable exchanges with MS who have said anything with syncing is not their problem it's an apple application. Through these discussion boards I pieced together all of the elements above. But be sure to back up anything you want to keep before you do any of this.
It should work. It did for me (at least last night and all day today). Good luck.

Preventing all iCal email notifications of Google Calendar

I have a Google Calendar, and share it with others. On a remote machine, I set up that calendar in iCal using CalDAV, and later just as a subscription. In both cases, new meetings and reminders were send out using my remote machine's primary Mail email. I don't want that to happen. Is there a way to turn that off in iCal (http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icalreplychecker doesn't work with CalDAV), or must I control that in Google Calendar? thanks

I've been looking for a solution to this since I upgraded to Lion, and I'm saddened that there isn't a proper resolution.
I already get email notifications sent via Google Calendar, so the idea that for me to get my calendar events on my desktop, I basically have to put up with getting two notifications for each event, is pretty ridiculous. Add to that the fact that iCal continually launches the Mail app throughout the day, and that whole implementation is a mess.
I appreciate the answer, though.

My iphone has calendar history for 10 years. my icloud only shows about 6-8 weeks back. how can i get icloud to show all the calendar events in the past that are on iphone?

I encountered a similar problem when finally (and with much regret) I was obliged to migrate my MobileMe to iCloud last month.
Many years of iCal history vanished without trace during this automated transition by Apple and iCloud then kindly synched the resulting vacuum back to iCal on my Mac.
Fortunately, iCloud wasn’t able to decimate iCal on my other Macs because (1) they are still running Snow and (2) I had switched them off as a precaution. Good job I did.
My solution was to export my iCal data on one of those other Macs to a backup file – then I imported that backup file into my Lion-updated Mac’s iCal. That restored all the iCloud-deleted iCal data back on to my Mac and this was promptly synched automatically to my Calendar on iCloud. So now it’s all there and showing.
Perhaps you could do something similar? In the meantime, be very careful not to let iCloud’s amnesia get synched to your iPhone (and other devices).
Experience has taught me never to trust an “upgrade” until it is proven to be working correctly and always to keep in reserve another Mac with a properly-functioning system and all synching to it switched off...

Publish iCal to a new Google calendar account

I recently was assigned a Google email and calendar account for a work group. The email system is administered by the work group and it is not a personal Google account; however, I have a password and login for my email and calendar. How can I publish my iCal account to this Google calendar account and then keep it in sync, so that when I change my iCal appointments, they are updated in the Google calendar?
Thanks for any help you can lend this rookie.

Hello Stephen
In order to change the command timeouts used in Visual Studio 2013 you will need to change the following registry setting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\SQLDB\Database\QueryTimeoutSeconds
You can increase it to 300 (5 min) to see if that helps. You can also set it to 0 (infinite) so it won't time out on the client.
For SSMS and the command line tools, the registry setting is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\SQLDB\Database\QueryTimeoutSeconds
