Copy a complete calendar in iCAL

I would like to copy a 'master' calendar so that I can then alter the new calendars for a specific projects. Is that possible and if so how?
Thanks

Hello,
With the customizing tool, (first option in the menu CRMC_BLUEPRINT_C), you should be able to create a new view for a full application.
But try this:
- create a new view (CRMV_BL_VIEW),
- call your application with this view
--> should not change anything
- rename your tab using this view name
- call your application with this view
--> I hope your tab should be renamed (I'm not sure and I don't have a system now to test).
Regards,
Frederic

Time zone issue when copying Outlook/Mac invitation to iCal or adding it via iPhone/iPad calendar

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a situation when every time I receive an invitation comes from a different time zone neither iCal, iPhone’s Calendar nor iPad’s Calendar recognizes it correclty.
Below there are a couple of examples, but before, a few information about my environment: Mac OS X Lion with Outlook for Mac (non-exchange user), I’m using iCloud, and my iPhone and iPad are running iOS5. And BTW, I’m not intending to sync anything with Outlook… I know it does not support iCloud syncing, I just trying to live without that.
First example.
I got an invitation to a meeting on Monday 5pm-6pm CET, but I’m in GMT-2. It should appear to me as an event to occur on Monday2pm-3pm (GMT-2). In fact only Outlook shows the right time, however when I dragged and dropped that appointment from Outlook’s calendar to iCal it was copied but is did not consider the time zone, that means in the iCal, the appointment was set to occur from 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), instead of 2pm-3pm (GMT-2).
Second example.
I created an appointment in Outlook by myself, jsut to check if that would be something related to the senders’ computer (Outlook/Windows user), then I set that meeting to occur on Friday 5pm-6pm (UTC+1) and I sent an invitation to a friend of mine (Outlook/Mac User). In my Outlook the appointment was created correctly, that means, on Friday 2pm-3pm (GMT-2), however, when I copied that meeting to iCal it did not consider the time zone, appearing to be Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), and when my friend opened the invitation in his iPhone, which is also set as GMT-2, that also appeared to him as a meeting on Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2).
I also checked all possible time zones configurations, in the iPhone, iPad, iCloud and in my MacBook (iCal and Outlook)…all time zones are enabled and configured as GMT-2.
As an last shoot, I decided to download a third-party software, which is integrated with iCal and iCloud, in order to check if that could be an Apple’s issue. I downloaded and installed the BusyCal (from BusyMac). And guess what?! When I dragged & dropped the same meetings I described above from Outlook to BusyCal, it worked perfectly!! And BusyCal sent the proper information to iCal and my iPhone/iPad over iCloud. Which means: #1 there would be no issue with my configurations, and #2 BusyCal does really takes into consideration time zones, which is something that Apple’s calendars looks like do not.
It will not solve the issue I'm having with my mobile devices, but at least is a workaround… BTW, an expensive workaround, because BusyCal costs $49, by now I’m using the 30 days trial version.
So friends, is there anyone who could help to find a real solution J , or at least, a free workaround L
Thank you in advance and I apologize for this “article”.
PS: I've been using Mac for 4 years now, and this is the first time I was stucked ina situation like that... and I don't know who to blame... Microsoft or Apple? This I know... syncing Apple's calendars with Microsoft's calendars, should be effortless... and it is always a pain in... that place...

I am having a similar problem: invitations sent (presumably from outlook), when accepted from my iPad, appear in the calendar with the wrong time zone.
this actually happens even when the meeting is in the same time zone I'm in: I am in GMT -5, and even when the meeting is in GMT-5, it defaults to GMT (or, in some instances, PST). My settings have my time zone set correctly.
Any help much appreciated.

Using iCal to sync a local editable copy with a calendar server...?

Hi All,
I have a couple of calendar servers running versions of Citadel (www.citadel.org) and WebCalendar (http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php). We are currently considering Sunbird and Outlook as clients as they support groupdav publish/subscribe. However many wish to use iCal.
Does iCal (or will it ever) support the ability to communicate bidirectionally with a server calender? Can I sync a local editable copy with my calendar servers? If not, are there any quality plugins or workarounds of any sort to allow this?
Best.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
iCal does appear to be supported by Webcalendar, I did not google Citadel, but this is what I got from searching for iCal and webcalendar together: http://www.k5n.us/wiki/index.php?title=RemotePublishing_with_AppleiCal

Added calendar in iCal not synced to MobileMe

I moved a calendar from "On My Mac" to my MobileMe account group, using the export-import method. The new calendar, however, does not sync to MobileMe. I even tried an overwrite (bookmarks, calendars, contacts and keychains) from my Mac to MobileMe but the added calendar still did not appear in MobileMe.
I quit and relaunched iCal, which started an immediate sync. The new calendar promptly disappeared from iCal and I got a string of error messages (one for each entry in the new calendar, it seems) all ending with
The server responded with
“HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict”
and asking me to either "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server". It didn't seem to matter which one I selected – the error just kept cropping up. Eventually, I gave up and force quit iCal.
How can I add a new calendar to iCal that will sync with MobileMe?

Derek,
I presume that this procedure represents exactly what you have tried to accomplish?
Import an iCal calendar or event
If you use iCal and want to add your iCal calendars and events to a MobileMe calendar, you can import them.
Hide
To import an iCal calendar:
Open iCal, and then select the iCal calendar you want to import into your MobileMe calendar.
Choose File > Export > Export.
Type a calendar name, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu, and click OK.You can store the exported file anywhere, and you can delete it after you finish importing it.
Choose File > New Calendar, and then choose a MobileMe calendar (by default, your MobileMe email address).
Type a calendar name (you can use the same name as the calendar you just exported), and press Return.
Choose File > Import > Import, select your exported iCal calendar, and then click Import.
Select the destination MobileMe calendar to which you want to add the imported iCal calendar, and then click OK.
Quit iCal and go to the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and delete any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the name. Log out/in or restart and reattempt using the exact procedure which I copied from the MobileMe Help page.

How do I sync 'on my mac' calendar in ical with icloud or an alternative for my iphone?

I'm using Outlook 2011 with 2 IMAP email addresses, a business email and a gmail address. The only reason I'm using Outlook instead of Mail, Address Book and iCal is because there were issues with me receiving meeting invites from business colleagues. Anyway, now I'm using Outlook, my contacts & calendar are no longer synchronising with my iPhone (4). I'm using the Outlook synch services to copy the Contact info to Address Book and the calendar info to iCal. BUT, the calendar in iCal is 'On My Mac' and doesnt get picked up by iCloud.
Can anyone help with simple suggestions for a wireless solution for keeping Outlook calendar in synch with my phone? Would upgrading my email account to Exchange be a solution?

Thanks Winston. I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud. I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

How can i sync a CalDav google calendar with my local calendar in iCal?

Hi,
I have a google calendar as CalDav-account in my iCal. It works perfect. Now i'd like to sync the google calendar with my local calendar, without copy/paste for every date. Ist there any possibility?

I just discovered that when you set up CalDAV delegate accounts in iCal, you are really moving google calendars into iCal, not the other way around. So for everything to sync up you must enter events in the delegate calendars in iCal, not in your original iCal calendars.

Entourage calendar in iCal is blank

I've got my Entourage calendar synced to iCal, so that I can update in Entourage, but alse iSync to my phone. This has always worked well for me, until recently... iCal does show an "automatically created by Entourage" calendar, but it's empty, no data!
I've tried various tricks posted in these discussions (including toggling the views, resetting sync services, restarting the applications...) but none seems to work.
Can anyone help me get the data from my Entourage calendar to show up in my iCal, and keep itself up to date (I can import in all in one shot as a stand-alone calendar, but that's not the point, I want to edit in Entourage)?
Thanks very much,
Toby.

I have this same issue. Can anyone help us?
I've never gotten mine to work correctly though. It just shows the calendar in iCal that's blank. The Address Book Application is completely blank.
Thoughts? Anyone?

How do you link Google calendar to iCal in Maverick?

Just downloaded Maverick (great) to my late 2008 aluminium laptop but cannot link Google Calendar with iCal. In iCal tried deleting old account and re-entering but still iCal does not sync, although it still does on iPad and iPhone. Any ideas?

Hi there,
I have tested this out on my backup disk and there is a slight modification to the method. Will highlight this with quotation.
================================================================================ ==
It appears that once upgraded to Mavericks, the calendar folders are no longer compatible with the latest version of iCal. Hence why it crashes.
To remediate,
Close the iCal App
Duplicate the folder (For Backup reason) /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
Delete all content with in /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
Go to:-
System Prefences | Internet Account | iCloud
Uncheck Calendars, Recheck Calendars
Select the iCloud profile
Press "-" to delete the whole iCloud profile.
Recreate the iCloud profile by select "+" then iCloud
Enter your iCloud Username and Password
It will asked you if you wish to merge the database. (You may have to do this more then once)
For every other google calendar
Uncheck Calendars (if already checked), Recheck Calendars
Hopefully this will recreate all the calender folders within /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar and start re-syncing.
Once you are satified that all your calender are syncing, delete the /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar copy
Good Luck.

ISync not finding Calendars in iCal

To begin, I have "upgraded" to 10.5.3.
I just attempted to sync my cellphone with my Mac, and noticed that iSync was not recognizing any of my calendars in iCal. When I clicked on the Calendars box in iSync, I got the following message:
No writable calendar was found
Before you can synchronize your calendars, you need to open a calendar application that supports synchronization and create at least one writable calendar.
Well, iCal should qualify, and it has worked in the past. Any idea why iSync cannot find my calendars?

I had the same problem. I found a solution in iCal's Help section, in a support article entitled "Mac OS X 10.5: Resetting the SyncServices folder".
After following the instructions in the support article (see below), the problem was fixed on my computer.
Following is the relevant text from the support article.
Reset the SyncServices folder with these steps in Mac OS X 10.5:
Open iSync.
Choose Preferences from the iSync menu.
Click Reset Sync History.
If this does not resolve your issue, or if you are unable to open iSync, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window that opens, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
When the operation is complete, quit Terminal.

Linking calendars in iCal

Hey
How can I link calendars in iCal, if I have two or more calendars I want to turn into one calendar?
Sincerly
Niels Martin - Denmark

No, at the time I am writing this the topic is not answered. Simply applying the 10.5.6 combo update did not work for me when I had this problem.
This did NOT work either - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1906?viewlocale=en_US.
This is what worked:
0) make sure both iCal and Mail are closed, and it might not be a bad idea to temporarily shut off any syncing software you may have active
1) start with the calendar folders from Tiger that are located in Users/{yourusername}/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources, the ones with crazy names like "2E28E612-467E-4981-975E-D07A31AC39C4.calendar" which contain files" called "corestorage.ics," "Index," and "info.plist"; if "all" you have is an iCal backup library (.icbu file), then you can go to a Tiger machine, restore to that iCal, and then take the above calendar folders from it
2) copy the calendar folders to the desktop of your Leopard machine
3) read this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196389&tstart=0) down to the posts by Thierry Girard
4) do what he says with the text editor, but you can use TextEdit, and look for either the SEQUENCE:-1 or the PRIORITY:-1. Set either one to just 1 (remove the negative sign); I had some value related to a MICROSOFT this or that, and I did not change it at all.
5) take the edited calendar folders from your desktop and move them into /Users/{yourusername}/Library/Calendars
6) start up iCal; at this point, I was in business
I hope this is helpful.

Apple advice on importing Entourage calendar from iCal - taking forever!

Hi everyone,
got onto Apple support today asking about moving our entourage calendar to iCal. So, sounded simple enough. Opened iCal, chose import, selected entourage and away we go. 7 hours later (no, I'm not exaggerating) it has got about 3/4 of the way and now the progress bar hasn't moved more than about a millimeter in the past hour. What the heck do I do now? It's almost 2am here - just let it continue running until the morning? At this rate it might take the rest of the week to complete!
Why would it take so long? Is this normal? Any faster way to achieve this? What about if I sync entourage and iCal, then when everything is there, export the entourage calendar from within iCal, then delete it, and then import it into the Home or Work calendar - would that work. This is so frustrating

Same thing here. Drives me crazy. Been importing for days now, always have to force quit the app since it's stuck at around 75% of the import.
Is there any way to get this to work?

HOw do I reverse sync iphone's calendar with ical on my mac?

I think I must have selected Mac to iPhone when syncing the first time and now it's set in perpetuity - I can't even merge my calendars, can only enter it all on my Mac's iCal for transfer to my iPhone calendar. If I enter data on my iPhone, then sync, it gets dumped.
So - how can I reset iTunes to make my device primary and Mac secondary? Or how can I reverse sync?

I found two solutions to this problem on a similar discussion topic.

I also experienced the same problem, i.e. iCal not syncing with iPhone. Contrary to most other users who experienced this problem, for me it appeared after updating the MacOS to 10.6.4, long before I updated the iPhone to OS4.
Now, thanks to janice0927 suggestion, it perfectly works, but I had to do one more thing in order to solve the problem:
Reset the sync history on your Mac. This is done in the iSync (located in the Application folder) preferences. After selecting "reset sync history", restart your Mac.
Afterward, follow the same procedure janice0927 suggested. For your convenience, I copied the steps here below:
1. You are going to be pushing your calendar from ical onto your iphone so you will lose any events that are currently on your iphone but not on ical -- you will need to update ical manually to ensure you don't lose anything important.
2. Scroll down in the info tab in itunes to the Advanced options at the bottom -- where it says replace the information on my iphone and select calendar.
3. Sync, check that your iphone calendar matches your ical calendar
4. Add a new test event to the iphone (the selection you made in advanced should have automatically deselected after you sync'd but check just to make sure)
5. Sync again -- check if your test event was transferred.
Good Luck!
iMac (intel - 2007) Mac OS X (10.6.4) iPhone 3G (OS4)
Hope these work for any of you having the sync problem.

Deleting calendars on iCal

Hi All,
after updating my Mac, I now have a few hundreds calendars on iCal (all empty). I'm using and needing only one calendar. How do I get rid of those? I've asked Apple tech support and I was told to manually delete them, one by one, but it would take me hours. Is there a quick workaround for this?
Gianni

Hi,
Try this script, it removes calendars that do not have any events or todos. Copy the text into a new Applescript Editor window and press 'Run'. (You'll find Applescript Editor in Applications > Utilities)
I'd suggest you make a back-up before in case you don't like the results. From iCal's File menu select Export… then +iCal Archive...+ and save it.
-- John Maisey -- www.nhoj.co.uk -- 15 Apr 2010
-- This script attemps to delete every calendar that has no events or todos.
tell application "iCal"
repeat with myCalNum from (count of calendars) to 1 by -1
set myCalendar to calendar myCalNum
if (count of events of myCalendar) + (count of todos of myCalendar) = 0 then
try
set myName to name of myCalendar
tell myCalendar to delete
log "Calendar \"" & myName & "\" deleted."
on error theErr
log theErr
end try
end if
end repeat
end tell
Let me know how it goes.
Best wishes

Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s). So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have. Then enable those in iCal.
If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account. Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.
