Event Categories in iCal

Does iCal support the concept of event categories? For example, I would like to be able to "color-code" events in the calendar (i.e., calls would be Red, meetings Blue, travel Green, etc.). The only option I see for doing something like this is to create a separate calendar for calls, one for meetings, one for travel, etc. It would be great to be able to do this within the same calendar.

cvallent,
I answered a similar question in this post.

AFAIK, your solution, and the one that I mentioned in that thread would be the ways to handle that in iCal.

  • How do I get rid of event details in iCal in iOS?

    I'm trying to learn how to get rid of event details in iCal on my iPhone. With the event itself "edit" comes up when I touch the item. For event details, however, the "edit" option does not appear.

    Not quite sure what you mean by "details", but after touching Edit for the event, touch the lines with the name and location and a cursor shows with the keyboard to edit those.
    Note that you won't be able to edit Exchange synced calendars.
    Also note that "iCal" is the OS X app.  The iOS app on your iPhone is "Calendar."

  • Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

    Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

    Greetings,
    See page 113 of the iPhone 4 user manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    When you add an event to the Calendar.app of the iPhone 4 there is an "Alert" option which should give you the desired result.
    Cheers.

  • How do I delete duplicate events in my iCal?

    Using SyncMate to sync my calendar and contacts from my Droid X to my iMac (MAC Office doesn't work since I upgraded to Lion).  Seemed successful.  However, I now have duplicate events in my iCal.  How can I delete the duplicate events?

    Hello Linda,
    Duplicate calendar entries can definitely clutter up iCal.  I found an article that has specifically addresses duplicate birthday entries in iCal.  You can find the steps under section titled "7. Clean up birthdays and use the Birthday Calendar" in the following article:

  • Not able to edit event names in iCal

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I am not able to edit event names in iCal once they are created. I am able to edit all other items in the event, but not name. I have tried double clicking, using the inspector, etc. to no avail. Any ideas?

    I tried getting rid of duplicates in FontBook. I tried deleteing the iCal.plist file and restarting my mac. Nothing works. I can not edit any entry in any way except to drag it to a new place. I also can't open iCal Preferences. I have iCal 4.0.1 - is that the current version?

  • I'm trying to find when I actually created an entry/event in my iCal.

    I'm trying to find when I actually created an entry/event in my iCal.

    So you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud? That message sounds like you did not. Are you using the same Apple ID used in Settings>iCloud on the iPod?
    - To find wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • I am unable to load New Events onto the iCal on my iMac

    When I first loaded Lion and converted to iCloud I was able to add Events to the iCal from the iMac. iCloud updated the iCal on my iPhone 4, iBook and my wife's iMac. I've done something to mess things up. Any suggestions?

  • Overlapping events display in Ical 4

    Hi - I'm getting erratic displays of events since upgrading ical. Old behaviour was separate events with the same time into a new box - now it overlaps and hides the other event. Any way to fix this?
    Also - is there a way to display time in 15 min increments in day view?
    Thanks

    I totally agree. This drives me insane. Or rather, it is the sole reason why I am trialling a range of other alternatives instead of iCal.
    The current behaviour appears to assume that if there is an overlap, you would always want to correct it so it does not matter if it is unusable in the meantime. Frequently, I need to keep track of other activities that are running parallel to my own appointments, which are recorded in other calendars and should be displayed side-by-side with my appointments while both being readable. iCal makes this completely unworkable.
    Please please please Apple, fix this, at least as an optional preference. It's grossly broken.

  • 10.5.8 iCal cannot see CalDAV events from SL iCal server

    I posed this on the iCal discussions but receive no response. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that is successfully using iCal 3 with SL Server.
    I'm running SL iCal Server.
    I can add and interact with CalDav User and Group Calendars on all SL client machines, Web Calendars and PC's (Sunbird) .
    I can do the same with my User Calendars my iPhone.
    I can add User and Group Calendars to 10.5.8 iCal clients but I cannot see any Events posted from any other source. If I add an Event in Leopard/iCal 3.0.8, that Event shows up in all other devices that share the Calendar, except other 10.5.8 machines.
    Are any of you having success?

    Wow, you've gotten a lot further than I have.
    I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get Sunbird to work with the iCal Server on my Snow Leopard Server install.
    I've tried two ways.
    First, the way described in the Getting Started manual, following a URL pattern like this for each user:
    http://myserver.example.com:8008/calendars/users/usershortname/calendar/
    I set it up a CalDAV calendar.
    It asks me for a user name and password, which I enter, but then in the Sunbird interface I get a yellow alert triangle that says, "The calendar calendarName is momentarily not available."
    I've also set it up by borrowing the Server path string from iCal (which works fine). I simply add that to the root of my server's DNS name, like so:
    http://myserver.example.com/principals/_uids_/0C2A72EF-186E-470F-BB98-A1EE49C7D597/
    I get asked for authentication again, but again end up with a yellow triangle and no loaded calendar.
    I've checked my Airport Extreme, and it has the iCal ports open (8008 and 8443). The iCal Server is set up fine.
    I can see activity in the iCal Server logs from the Sunbird client on Windows, but I have no idea what any of that information means, so it's not particularly helpful.
    How did you (or anyone else) get Sunbird working?
