How can I combine multiple icloud calendars into a single published calendar?

I have several calendars in Ical where I map my activities and schedules. Like many I need several calendars to categorise events.
Now, I'd like others to see when I'm free and when I'm unavailable. For this, I'd need to find a way to copy multiple Icloud calendars into a single one for publishing - and the published calendar would also have to sync to any update I make in the original calendar.
Any way to make this happen? Any third party app? Tried a couple - they were outdated and / or cumbersome.
If only there was a "smart calendar" tool in Ical …

It worked - up to the crucial point: after combining icloud calendars into one "on the machine" calendar, the latter is ready for going public. But of course - this public calendar will only contain the .ics files and will not sync for updates from the icloud calendars.
And that's what I want.
If this problem is not possible to solve with the software available in the Mac - is there any known third party solution for this?
(Apple: "smart calendars" please!)

Can I import contacts and calendar into iCloud?

Here's my situation: I have a ton of contacts and calendar items on an old Powerbook G4. It's old enough that I can't upgrade to OSX Lion, so therefore I can't use it to sync with iCloud. But I am getting an iPhone 4s, and want to figure out how I can get those contacts and calendars on the phone, hopefully using iCloud as the intermediary.
Is there a way in iCloud to do a one-time manual import of a contacts or calendar file? I could then synch the new 4s with iCloud. I'm eventually going to get a new desktop, but in the meantime need to use the 4s as a standalone device.

Is there a way to import a pdf calendar into iCal?

My employer issues my calendar in pdf format. Is there a way to import this into iCal? Either directly or is there a way to automate a conversion to some format and then import?
many thanks in advance.

Hi b737guru,
pdfs might contain visually structured graphics, but they don't necessarily contain internally structured data. Which is what you'd need for a conversion to the iCalendar format, the format that iCal's .ics files use. So I don't think you're likely to find an easy solution.
Your best bet is to try and get the data from your employer, before it is printed/formatted to a pdf file. If there are enough of you campaigning, they might consider .ics as an alternative to .pdf. Google Calendar, FaceBook and Microsoft Outlook can read .ics, which makes it fairly universal.

How can I get my iCloud calendars to show up in Outlook for Mac

I just bought a new Mac and downloaded MS Office 365 for Mac. How can I import my icloud calendar into Outlook? I can't find any concrete info anywhere online.
Thanks!

Apple's documentation doesn't mention this as far as I can see: however it's correct that subscribed calendars could not be viewed on MobileMe (though they did sync to other devices: however it would seem that what was synced was the details of the subscription, not the calendar itself, so that effectively the other device just subscribed to the calendar afresh).
I think that, subject to correction from someone who's managed to do this it's a safe assumption to say that you cannot view subscribed calendars on the iCloud website, and that this is very likely a limitation of the CalDAV process.

How to import calendar into iCal?

I am trying to import a calendar into iCal. Here is my AppleScript:
set theFile to "Sample.ics"
tell application "iCal"
open theFile
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iCal"
tell window "Add events"
click pop up button 1
click menu item "New Calendar" of menu 1 of pop up button 1
click button "OK"
end tell
end tell
end tell
I have specified a full path for theFile in the actual script. Here is what happens when I run it:
The iCal icon starts jumping and the script just stays running. If I hunt around I can find the "Add events" window and it is just sitting there waiting for interaction. If I click the pop up button and select New Calendar then click OK the file imports like I wanted and my script errors out saying it can't find the "Add Events" window. Clearly my script loads the file into iCal fine. Then it has problems. Here are my guesses as to what goes wrong:
1. maybe the "Add event" window is modal and iCal won't respond to the script until the window is dealt with.
2. maybe the pop up button is not a pop up button and is some other UI element .
3. maybe there is an issue with focus
4. maybe I have no clue, should stop speculating, and someone will help me.

I'm stuck too. Although the Accessibility Inspector describes the “Add events” window as belonging to iCal, the script seems not to see that window as a UI element of iCal:
tell application "iCal"
activate -- essential statement!
open theFile
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "iCal"
return UI elements
end tell
--> {window "iCal" of application process "iCal" of application "System Events", menu bar 1 of application process "iCal" of application "System Events"}
It doesn't even seem possible to bypass the process by using the keystroke command.

How can I import my Google calendar to iCloud calendar via web or ios?

I've decided I want to move from contacts/calendar in gmail to icloud. I was going to do the same with mail, but it seems iCloud doesn't have the level of functionality that gmail does.
My problem is that all instructions for importing my gmail calendar into icloud require some sort of desktop (I use PC) mail/calendar program. I don't use one. I manage my mail & calendars purely on my iphone or on the website(s). How can I import my .ics file into iCloud calendar via either the iCloud web interface or via my iPhone?

The only possible way I could imagine it might work ( can't guarantee it ) is as followed.
#1 Your Google Calendar is synced with your iphoen and you go into settings to turn it off.
#2 It will ask you: "What would you like to do with excisting local calendars on your iphone", you click keep them on iphone.
#3 Now you sync your empty icloud calendar with your iphone and hopefully the local calendar would sync on your icloud calendar?
Might work...not sure, play around with the settings in the iphone calendar app etc...

I can't import .ics meeting requests to iCal (currently using iCloud)

I can't import .ics meeting requests to iCal (currently using iCloud). Every time I drop it in or double click or import it it just doesn't show up. Is there a way round this or a setting I've not set up correctly?

Greetings Gillian,
Try dragging one of these invites out of Mail to the desktop. It should show up with a ".ics" extension as you indicate in your post. Double-click this file and see if iCal launches and offers you the invite in the lower left corner (or anywhere else for that matter).
If nothing happens when you double-click the file from the desktop try the following:
__Create a new user account on the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
__Put the .ics file you dragged to the desktop into Macintosh HD > Users > Shared
__Log out of the current user and login as the new user you created
__Go to Macintosh HD > Users > Shared in the new user and drag the .ics file to the desktop
__Double-click the file on the desktop and see if iCal opens and offers to add the invite
Let us know the results.

Importing Now Up To Date Calendar into iCal

I have been using NUTD for ten years. It is now starting to crash often with the latest OS software. So I would like to import my entire NUTD calendar into iCal. However, I cannot figure out how to do this. I have looked at discussions on the subject, but they all seem to be several years old. Any new ideas on doing this? I have a Bed and Breakfast and need the past ten years calendar info, plus the reservation info that goes out three year from now. So I need to import 13 years worth of calendar data.

I just did a full migration from Now Up-to-Date to iCal and was successful using a tip obtained elsewhere. The key is to pass the data through Excel and Palm Desktop. Now can't export vCal yet and iCal won't import tab delimited text. However, Palm Desktop can import tab-delimted text and export vCal.
I don't think you can successfuly create multiple iCal calendars from the Now categories going through Palm Desktop; I didn't try that. To make sure it worked out, I did it using multiple export/imports doing one Now category at a time by passing it through Excel. Here's a summary of the steps:
1. Export your date rage from Now in tab-delimited format.
2. Open the export file in Excel, sort by category.
3. Extract all entries for each category into separate workbooks, save each as tab-delimited text file format.
4. Open Palm Desktop and create a new calendar for the category (e.g business, personal, special events, etc.) Save it in a temp place like your desktop.
5. Import the text file to the new Palm Desktop calendar
6. Export from Palm Desktop to a vCal file
7. Create a new calendar in iCal for the category to be imported
8. Import the vCal file into that calendar.
Repeat steps 4-8 for each Now category.
There were some anomolies I couldn't explain (like some single-day all-day events becoming two-day events in iCal), but I just cleaned those up manually.
Repeating events in the Now Calendar will become multiple single events in iCal. Also, if you have any commas in titles or notes, the process of passing through Excell wil put " " around those entries in iCal. If this bothers you, you could pass the saved Excel text files (from step 3) through a text editor (Text Wrangler works best, TextEdit should do it also) to delete the quotes if you want.

How to import Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar into iCal ???

Is there a way to import calendar data from either Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar into iCal ? Is there a generic data type file that I must first get the calendar file into before importing into iCal ?

The file must be .ics. I used to simply use Missing Sync to get my calendars synced up, however it's not yet supported in Leopard.
So, in order to get my office Outlook data over to Ical, I simply used the following "macro"
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=136194
Simply follow the instructions...it worked well for me. all my work data got transferred over.

How can I import an ics calendar file to my iPAd2

I want to import my Windows calendar into my iPad2. I've tried using the ics file which is mentioned in the manual but no joy. What can I do?

I have done extensive research and it appears that this can't be done. A couple of people said you can email your .ics file to the iOS device, click on the file and you will be prompted to add the events to the calendar. But this process failed for me, and when I tried it a second time, I didn't get the "add all" option any more. I'm guessing the 4000 or so events were too much for the phone's processing and syncing capabilities. Anyway, Apple's failure to support a basic function like .ics import on Windows means that I won't be using iCloud anytime soon. It's too bad, because I would appreciate the ability to set a reminder on the desktop and have it work on the phone, which I can't do with my Gmail calendar.

I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications. What am I doing wrong???

I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications. Remove alerts or cancel
What am I doing wrong or missing??

I have this same problem in October of 2013. I am unable to import .ics files into Lion that I exported from my Snow Leopard MacBookPro without losing all of my future events (which all have alerts attached). All of the events from BEFORE today's date are successfully importing, presumably because they are no longer expected to trigger alerts via Apple Mail. After my first unsuccessful attempt, I learned that iCal was communicating with iCloud by default. I have since turned off iCloud, but I have not found a solution to the problem. Harvey

Can i share my iCloud calendar with others? If so, how?

Can i share my iCloud calendar with others? If so, how?

do you mean, the 'Publish' option? That only gives me two options 1 mobile me, which is now defunct. and 2 a private server, which I don't understand. thanks!
sorry, after a further read, the comment was about icloud not ical. I don't have icloud because I don't have Lion because it doesn't work well with FCP7. So I don't know how to share my ical. Can you help?
