Color coding of individual iCal events in ONE calendar

How do I request this in feedback on iCal?

Use the feedback page.
But logically, if you have colour codes for specific event types, those events should be in separate calendars.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Mix published and unpublished events in one calendar?

Just got an iPhone.
Is there a way to mix published and unpublished events in one calendar?
I've heard that other calendar software have this option.
With iCal on a Mac it's possible to choose which calendars to view, so then it's not a problem to have one published and one unpublished calendar.
But with iCal on iPhone you can only choose between viewing ONE and ALL calendars.
I subscribe to a bunch of other peoples calendars, so viewing ALL is never an option..
So now I would like to write all my events, published and private, into ONE calendar. Is that possible?
Anyone?

Yes. I tried changing the setting to Sync All Events (instead of the time limited sync) and let it refresh. No change. No display
I also tried rescheduling the event by one hour on the same day (no other changes), then save. No change. No display.
I ended up deleting the events and re-entering them, with identical information (including the recurring end date, remarks, etc., you name it), and then the events appeared like the rest of them in the same calendar.
I'd still like to know if there is a solution to the original problem. I'm still concerned that other events, maybe in the other calendar as well, are no appearing and it's impossible to rely on a sample or to verify every event.
Thanks for your assistance.

Moving events from one calendar to another

Is it possible to move events from one calendar to another?
Here is our scenario:
User abc123 has set up a calendar abc123:boardroom for other users to book slots in the board room (he didn't know about resource calendars at the time and so didn't request one be created).
Now abc123 is leaving the company, so his calendars are going to disappear, along with all the bookings for the board room.
So my question is, can these events (and tasks) be moved to another calendar?
I've tried creating a resource calendar and exporting/importing the calendar data, but this appears to leave the organizer of each event set as abc123:boardroom, with the result that the owner of the new resource calendar cannot modify the imported events.
Maybe I'm missing something blindingly obvious here, but there doesn't seem to be any way to actually move events from one calendar to another. Does anyone have any advice as to how I might achieve this?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mike.

here is one way:
Click on a meeting to get a Compose window. In the upper right Calendar box, click on the dropdown icon and select the calendar you want to move to from the list. Click on OK to save.
Of course, if you have a lot of meetings to move, this will be a pain, but it does work.
Note: before you do this, make sure you are an "owner" of the calendars(s) you want to move meetings to (or otherwise have access), and are subscribed to those calendars.

ICal Color Coding for Family Members on on Master Calendar?

I have a very detailed ical calendar for all the family members' activities & would like to view them with a different color per person on one single calendar. I am not clear whether creating a calendar per person in a group will allow me to then merge them to see one master calendar. Perhaps I'm mistaken in how it works but I do not want to toggle between 5 calendars each time I need to schedule something. Is it even possible to see them all on one master calendar with the color for each person in their individual calendar retained on the master? Can they all be merged? It would take hours if not days to re-create them - I'd also like to be able to make them viewable by my husband. Thanks for the feedback!

Greetings,
I have a very detailed ical calendar for all the family members' activities & would like to view them with a different color per person on one single calendar.
iCal allows you to add multiple calendars (check boxes). Each calendar can have it's own color. Any event added to that calendar will have that color.
I am not clear whether creating a calendar per person in a group will allow me to then merge them to see one master calendar.
If you want to see all the calendars at once to see where events overlap, etc. you check off all the check boxes and you see all the events at once.
In your scenario you would make 1 calendar for each person. Each calendar can be assigned it's own unique color. When you want to see what everyone is doing you just check off all the check boxes to turn on all the calendars at once so you can see the events all together (Holding down the command key which is the clover leaf or Apple key and then clicking on a check box will turn them all on / off in one shot.)
The "Master" calendar as you say is iCal with all the calendars checked.
Can they all be merged?
If you have individual calendars (check boxes) and you would like to combine them you can do so by clicking on the calendar you want to merge and going to File > Export > Export. Save the resulting file to desktop. Go to that saved file and double-click. iCal will ask you where you want to put the events from that calendar. Choose the calendar you want to merge with and it will add all the events in.
I'd also like to be able to make them viewable by my husband.
You can share your calendars in a variety of different ways. In iCal go to the help menu and type in "Giving others access to your calendars" for a listing of options.
Hope that helps.

ICal move events from one calendar to another with AppleScript

I made an AppleScript to clean up my calendars and thought I would share. My iMac had a calendar called "Home" and my iPhone had a default calendar "Calendar" so I ended up with all of my events spread across two calendars. Decide to clean up and move everything to one calendar.
This script is admittedly not very efficient. The nested repeat loops means it takes a while to run. Feel free to take this as a start point. I have it checking each property for missing value before adding it to avoid errors. I could have added a line to delete the old event after creating the copy, but I was just deleting the whole old calendar after the script ran.
I hope this is helpful to someone. Oh, this was created under Snow Leopard so if you are in Lion you might need to tweak things. I don't know how much the scripting library has changed.

display dialog ("Exists(not copied):" & cntrMatch & " New Copied:" & cntrCopied)

That should not be necessary because I get the value of ID out of another table, where I generate ID with a sequence..
So normally it should just tranfer that row from one table to another. But it doesn't !
Knowing that I cannot create a row in the table wouter_published_posts(I can just move rows from the add_post table to the wouter_published_posts table), It should be inpossible that twice the ID appears. But yet he keeps trowing errors...
help me, please

All events in one calendar are not displayed

I have two gcalendars. On my iphone I have caldev set to sync both calendars to ical on the iphone. On one of the calendars, *some but not all* of the events do not display. I tried doing a search and they don't display. I verified that I was looking at the correct year for the date that they should display.
The missing events display normally if I go to Gcal on my desktop computer, and with the iphone using the web version of gcal.
Why would events show up on Gcal web but not all of those events via Gcal caldav?
Message was edited by: rick wintomac

Yes. I tried changing the setting to Sync All Events (instead of the time limited sync) and let it refresh. No change. No display

Making a list of all events in one calendar?

Is there any way to ask iCal to generate a list of all events and ToDo's from a given calendar?
iSync doesn't really support multiple calendars when syncing to Palm OS devices: all events created on the Palm are put into one specified calendar (in my case, it's called "FromPalm"). This means I occasionally need to go into iCal and manually move all of the events and tasks in "FromPalm" to whichever calendar they belong in. The problem is: how do I find all of these events, other than by scrolling through my calendar week-by-week looking? If iCal would show me a list -- like it does for search results --, I could just click on them one-by-one and move each to its proper calendar...

Hi Mike,
In the calendar list de-select (un-tick) every calendar apart from your "FromPalm" calendar. Click on the Show Search Results buttom (the one with three dots and lines in the lower right of the window), you should have a list of every event in your "FromPalm" calendar.
To move several of these events to another calendar quickly, Command-Click the events in the list you want put into a particular calendar. Then Control-Click one of the list that you have selected and choose Calendar and then the calendar you have selected. All the events selected should then be moved.
Best wishes

ICal events To Dos calendars disappeared.

I dont know how to use time machine to get back to where i am. Time machine only shows finder to go back and the files finder shows are only those that can be used for importing one event at a time. I need all events back but cant find a way. Please help me. Any help is appreciated

I just examined the current "Calendars" folder in my /users/xxx/library folder. it has multiple xyz(i).calendar folders in it, each with a info.plist file. Each of the plist file corresponds to one Calendar, either you've created or you've subscribed to. Also in the xyz(i).calendar folder, there are Events folders. These seem to contain the events that we create. Now, i still dont understand why the iCal doesn't know what to do with all the Calendars sitting in the "Calendars" folder. Are they corrupted? Can i retrieve them?

What determines if an iCal event on CalDAV calendar is editable?

We are using iCal3 to link to a CalDAV calendar store. This allows us to also access the calendar store from other things - such as web based calendar interface and other CalDAV aware calendars.
We've found that events created or edited in other applications / via the web are not always editable when viewed in iCal3. Rather than seeing the 'edit' and 'done' buttons on the Get Info screen, they just show 'Done'. The event remains editable in the other applications / via the web.
Presumably the event is missing some XML tag to say that it can be edited. Any idea what it is? Any idea what can be done to tell iCal to edit these events? Right now all it is doing is encouraging us to use the other applications for our Calendar access in preference to iCal...
Thanks in advance for any insights etc.

Surprise Surprise!
I realized after heavy testing, that a DTSTAMP: is not needed.
But there is apparently a problem with the DATE-TIME format: Perhaps for other readers, which are in such a desparate situation, as I am since two days now!!! here some explanations:
The reference about iCal format you find in RFC 5546
DTSTART; and DTEND; have a time string like follows:
yyyymmddThhmmss
In the middle the big letter "T". But you have to add the time zone: for me it is the following:
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T062500
Now the big surprise: this time format with an hour over 12 ooops! I tested now once again like follows
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T212500
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T202500
changing the hh (hours) with one hour difference up until here. 10 Minutes again, iCal was freezing with hours over 19. I swear!
Ok to answer my original question: What is the minimal format of an iCal event, which you may attach to an email:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T212500
SUMMARY:Name
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T202500
LOCATION:MUC
SEQUENCE:0
BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER:-PT1H
DESCRIPTION:Event reminder
ACTION:DISPLAY
END:VALARM
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
But be aware, that this is buggy. Be carefull and have a nice evening

How to Make All Events in One Calendar Have Alerts Automatically

I am a college student majoring in engineering, which means I always have lots of homework due at various times. So to help me keep better track of when my assignments are due, I have started putting the due dates into my calendar. The only problem with that is every time I enter in a new event I have to set up an alert for that particular event. This is extremely annoying having to do this for each assignment. What I am wondering is there a way to make it so that every event in my "Homework" Calendar sends me an alert two hours before the event starts? I know you can make it so that all events send you an alert, but I just want this one calendar to automatically send alerts for it's events. Any help is greatly appreciated!

ICal + Google Calendar: I can't see iCal events on Google Calendar...

Hi all
Two partners and myself have started a small business, and we need to be aware of each other's schedules in order to run it successfully, so we have decided to give Google Calendars a bash.
I've added my Google account to iCal so now when I add an event to Google Calendars it shows up in iCal, but not vice versa: in other words, if all my iCal events don't show up in Google Calendars.
I've researched the issues, follow all the steps, etc. but I still can't seem to fix this... Am I doing something wrong?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My understanding is that iCal will not send data to gCal. The forums suggest that the only way to do this at present is to hook up an iPhone to gCal, which does allow a two-way exchange. gCal then sends to iCal. To me, that means that you cannot make entries on your Mac iCal and have them replicated in gCal. So your Mac calendar is effectively 'read-only', and all entries have to be made on an iPhone or on gCal. I'm not sure, but I suspealso that the only way to get your Mac updated is via gCal; possibly synching phone to Mac via iTunes will result in duplicate entries.
As I understand gCal, you have to be online to access it, which is no good if you are on the road (or visiting your mother!). I'm not sure how MobileMe comes into this either; I'm still experimenting and either I get no calendars or multiple duplicate entries!

How Can I Batch Separate iCal Events Into Separate Calendars?

iMac G4
10.4.11
Six months ago I transferred 21,000 calendar items from Chronos Personal Organizer 4.5.0 to iCal. Except for the snail crawl speed, I am very pleased with iCal. CPO operated very quickly with the same 21,000 calendar items. I hope to solve the poor-speed issue by purchasing a new Intel iMac later this year. Fingers crossed.
The transfer process deposited all 21,000 calendar items into a single calendar named "Kurt". Last week I renamed this calendar to "Kurt - Home". I created a new calendar that is named "Kurt - Work". I transferred all of my work specific calendar events from "Kurt - Home" to "Kurt - Work" for the past six months. I accomplished this by clicking on each calendar event, and then clicking on the calendar pulldown menu and selecting "Kurt - Work". Is there a way that I can select multiple calendar events simultaneously, and then transfer them to "Kurt - Work" in one click?
Thank you.

You need to sign into your iCloud account on your Mac, and check the Calendar option. System Preferences>iCloud, sign on your iCloud account, check the apps you want to sync with your device.
Cheers,

How do I put a scattered group of events into one calendar?

I have perhaps 60 events scattered over the past 10 months that I would like to put into a single colored calendar.
They are presently in the Home calendar.
Is there a way to do this en bloc without having to assign each event seperately?

No, Pages doens't have "shrink to fit". What I do is first cut down the margins to enlarge the text area a bit. If that doesn't do it, I Command-A to select all the text and start decreasing the text size a point at a time. When the last line pops onto the first page, you're done.

I can't sync my new mac iCal events with Yahoo Calendar

I just download an icalendar format file to my iCal account. The events show up under my yahoo account calendar, but the events are not synched with the yahoo calendar on the web, or on my iphone or ipad for that matter. Any ideas?

Sounds like you haven't updated your Sync account for the new version of Sync that was released with Firefox 29.
See this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
