Can't subscribe to .ics calendar

Hello,
First of all, sorry for my bad English.
I have published a calendar from Ical to my private server (Imac running 10.6.2). When I want to subscribe to that .ics file from an other computer (other Imac running 10.6.2), it fails. When I subscribe from a computer running OSX 10.4 or 10.5 there's no problem.
This is the error:
*There was an error subscribing to the calendar.*
*The data downloaded from http://server.name.lan/calendars/name.ics isn’t valid.*
I think the problem has to do with the server settings. But I don't know for sure and I don't know how to solve. The server is a Xserve running 10.5 server. For some reason Ical have permission top place the .ics file, but he can't acces is anymore. The permission settings are oke, everybody on the network can read and write the files.
I could send the errors if someone need them to help.
Thanx

The authentication requested is a javascript form of the apple web interface to ical (Web server -> Sites -> Web Services -> Calendar). It is an apple application, i didn't set up any access control, if i go into the file system of http://www.my_site.com/ical (/Library/WebServer/Documents/my_site) there is nothing. It seems all saved under:
bash-3.2# pwd
/Library/CalendarServer/Documents/calendars/_uids_/08/46/084627AA-F6CF-481C-A0EF-421E878ADBCF/calendar
bash-3.2# ls
.db.sqlite a32259e5d9222e11c83f9b8487e0e041.ics
bash-3.2#
and there must be an apple web application in order to interact with it, that is why i thought that the username and password defined in the publish calendar form were related to the apple authentication mechanism.
I'm using MacOSX server 10.6.2 on my own machine with my own domain. So what i'm doing is setting up the calendar web service on a test site, try to publish a calendar (from ical) to the location of the test site and then try to subscribe to the webcal:// ... link that he provides me.
If i try to access http://www.my_site.com/ical/calendar.ics or http://www.my_site.com/ical the apple web interface comes up asking me the credentials. If I enter the correct ones (defined in the publish form) i get the following message from the apple web interface:
Mac OS X Server
404: User does not exist
The path seems correct 'coze if subscribe from ical to webcall://www.my_site.com/ical/calendar.icsit tells me that:
There was an error subscribing to the calendar.
The data downloaded from http://www.my_server.com/ical/name.ics isn’t valid.
if i enter another path i will get this error:
A calendar wasn’t found on webcal://www.myserver/my_user/ical/mycalendar.ics. Check the URL.
If i would use an FTP application i would not find anything on that path because all is managed by the apple web service interface.
Thanks !!

    GeminiStargazer,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You may want to try the Australian Holidays Calendar on iCalShare.com.
    According to the publisher of that calendar:
    "The Apple supplied Australian Holidays calendar is pretty dismal. This is an attempt at a much more accurate and useful version."

  • Alarms don't work and can't subscribe to shared calendars

    I have just discovered that my alarms do not work, and I am not able to subscribe to shared calendars.
    Re alarms - I have tried trashing iCal, downloading and re-installing it, trashing preferences, to no avail.
    Re shared calendars - once I download the calendar, a drop down appears in iCal where my options are to cancel or subscribe. When I click susbscribe, the window freezes and nothing happens.
    Any input would be most appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Can't subscribe to shared calendars via Outlook.

    We've been using the Sun Outlook connector for several years and just recently (three weeks ago) a lot of our users are reporting problems with subscribing to calendars and setting permissions within Outlook.
    Users can view and share calendars in Comm Express just fine. When I install the connector and create a new profile I get all the calendars that I am currently subscribed to but cannot add additional calendars.
    When I try to add a shared calendar that I have full permissions to I get one of the following errors:
    "Unable to display the folder. Your profile is not configured to support this operation for this user."
    or
    "The Search request to the Sun Global Address List server has timed out."
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Does this problem occur for all users?
    If not which users are not affected and what is different about their setup (version of connector/Outlook/different calendar server/physical location etc.)?
    When I try to add a shared calendar that I have full permissions to I get one of the following errors:
    "Unable to display the folder. Your profile is not configured to support this operation for this user."
    or
    "The Search request to the Sun Global Address List server has timed out."Let's go with the second option for the time being.
    When you perform the search, what do you see in the directory server access/error logs? Do you see any log-running searches (high etime value) or any errors (err=<some number not 0>).
    How long does it take for the error to come back.. instantly, seconds, minutes?

  • Publishing and subscribing to ICS calendars

    Is there a way to publish calendars that others can subscribe to? The only thing I know how to do with the iCal server even a little bit is CalDAV, but that doesn't seem to allow subscriptions.
    Also, I can't find a place where it just says the user (like a folder that stores the data). It's just these weird combinations of characters. Is there a way to make it simpler?
    Thanks,
    vidg

    You could perhaps setup the WebDAV stuff in the web server settings like before which doesn't require/use iCal server?
    With iCal server you instead delegate access to your calendar(s) with either only read or read and write priviledges to others. You do this in iCal (3.0/Leopard).
    You need OD and preferably bind your client machines to it.

  • Can't Subscribe to Google Calendars after Migration to Mountain Lion

    I had my work Google canendars synciing fine with iCal on my old desktop running Lion.  After migrating to a new Mac Book with Mountain Lion, I cannot subscribe to my gCal's.  The error I get is "Server With Secure Communication Unavalable", which makes no sence.
    I've tried:
    Chosing to use the calendar when adding the gMail account to Mail.app
    Enabling the Calendar under the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" Preference pane
    Adding the account using Calendar.app's Preferences.
    The suggestions I've been able to find don't apply, because we are not using Google's two-step validation.
    Did Mountain Lion break something with the Google-Apps flavor of gCal?  Is there a way to add via URL?  I tried that using Safari, but it did not work well (created a iCloud Calendar, wouldn't allow me to change the assigned color and repeatedly threw an error for the same over a year-old event despite clicking the "Ignore" button).
    Ray

    Found a work-around.  I don't know if this applies to all Google calendars, or just the Google-Apps ones:
    Add the calendar as a generic CalDAV calendar.  Use your full (hosted) gMail address as the username and www.google.com as the server address.
    Interrestingly, ML matched this up to the main Google account in the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" Preference Pane

  • Can't subscribe to internet calendar

    I have an outlook 2007 calendar at work that I was able to put online for sharing purposes. When I go to iCal and try to subscribe, I always get an error saying that an Unexpected secure name resolution error (code -9813). The server name calendars.office.microsoft.com may be incorrect.
    I am clicking directly on the link. What is wrong?
    Thanks!

    It is probably due to the Public vs. Private setting on your online sharing - see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5934737&#6171814

  • Can't subscribe to iCloud calendar

    I am trying to subscribe to my iCloud personal calendar on my work PC using Lotus Notes 8.5. I have shared the calendar but when I try to subscribe Lotus Notes says the URL does not 'conform to the iCalendar parsing specification." - any ideas on how to subscribe are welcome....
    Cheers

    It only works for public calendars not for private ones. I have added the details in

    But how would you do it for a privately shared caledar?

  • Can't Subscribe Can't Create New Calendar

    All,
    After using iCal with much success (and subscribing to calendars shared in www.icalx.com) suddenly I can't subscribe to any calendar (even those not from icalx) and I can't make a new calendar (even though I only have twelve). Even if I drag an ics file into iCal, it won't make a new calendar!
    There's nothing wrong with the calendars from other places, as I tried subscribing to them from another machine.
    Whenever I try subscribing or creating a new calendar, nothing happens. Even the progress bar for subscribing doesn't move! When I quit iCal and then restart it, there's a ghost calendar there either called "untitled" if I had previously tried creating a new calendar, or the name of the calendar I tried to drag in (although there is no data), or "Subscribed" but no data if I had previously tried to subscribe to a calendar.
    Somebody please help me. I'm working with other people from other time zones and we rely on these things to work.
    Thanks!!

    Hi Benito,
    What does it mean when a subscribed calendar is corrupted?
    The files iCal uses to store the calendars (.ics files) are text files. (You can look at one by exporting a calendar from iCal and opening the .ics file with a text editor.) When you subscribe to a calendar you are copying the calendar file to your hard drive. If some information is missing in the file, or the data is ordered in the wrong way, this can lead to iCal not functioning properly.
    The error could be on the server or your local copy, from what you write it's hard to tell. You could try subscribing to the problem calendar from another machine to see if it has the same problem.
    The usual recommendation for a local calendar (one you created) with this problem is to export and then import the calendar. This means the calendar is re-created from scratch. You can't use this solution with a calendar you are subscribed.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I publish an ics file to a remote server from my calendar server?

    I am running Lion Server and have Calendar Service up and running. I have an account with a couple of calendars, one of which I'd like to publish to a remote server, as an .ics file.
    From an iCal client it is possible to publish local calendars, but not remote calendars (for which the only option seems to be to 'Share').
    How can I can I publish an ics file to a remote server? Programatically, if necessary.

    I have this working now.
    curl -s --digest -u username:password -o calendar.ics http://hostname:8008/calendars/users/username/calendar/
    generates the .ics file, and a combination of cadaver (from webdav.org) and an expect script upload hourly (via cron) to the remote server:
    set timeout 60
    spawn /usr/local/bin/cadaver
    expect "dav"
    send "open https://remotehost/path/\r"
    expect "Do you wish to accept the certificate? (y/n)"
    send "y\r"
    expect "dav"
    send "put calendar.ics\r"
    expect "dav"
    send "close\r"
    expect "dav"
    send "quit\r"

  • In iCal can't assign .ICS calendar event to non-"on my mac" calendars

    In apple mail, I click on the the .ICS file [sent by windows outlook user] and can see that it is added into iCal. Great, as expected.
    However, if I right click on this event, under "calendars" I can only assign it to either "home" or "work" i.e. those same calendars that show up under the "on my mac" section, top left of iCal - no other calendars show up
    When I select different events already in the calendar (and not added using .ICS files), I can see more calendars, namely those added from gmail
    e.g. [email protected]
            = vacation
            = work
            = training
          [email protected]
           = bookings
           = vacation
    these are the same ones which appear under the 'on my mac' section
    How can I assign this .ICS event to one of my gmail calendars?
    anyone know how to fix this?

    Sounds like a failed HD. Get another HD, install it, reinstall the OS, upgrade to Lion, and then restore the TM backup.

  • 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.
