Facebook events in iCal

I've noticed some strange behavior in iCal when importing events from Facebook. Sometimes you get an error when importing the .ics file and other times it works just fine.
Facebook > (event page) > Export Event > Save To Calendar > Export > eventidname.ics
More recently, i'll notice the Facebook event imports into iCal fine... but it only shows in iCal on the Mac and on the iCloud website. My iPhone sometimes will randomly not show Facebook imported events.
Not sure how many people ever use this feature... but has anyone else noticed this?

I noticed this too.  Not sure what's going on

  • Facebook event in iCal

    Hi all,
    A question,
    If I combine my Facebook events in iCal, I noticed some strange behaviour. One of my friends created an all day event on thursday januari 31 in Facebook, but on my iPhone 5, in iCal the event is on wednesday januari 30. Also on my iPad. I checked some other Facebook event's, but they are properly synced with iCal. What could be wrong?
    regards,
    Mark

    Hi, I've just had the same problem, as I'd forgotten how I always do it. I have my Facebook calendar in iCal, and need to copy events to my personal calendar so they will sync with my iPod touch...
    I just realised what the solution was after reading this post - what you have to do is copy the event from the Facebook calendar, then click on an event in the calendar you want to copy to, then paste. Sometimes the pasted event will come in the wrong place, then you have to drag it to the right place, but otherwise all the information will be there (even the invites, so don't send them if it asks)
    Hope this helps - it's awkward but works

    Hello there,
    I found your question by looking for something similar regarding iCal and Facebook. I have figured out part of the answer:
    You can export your Facebook events into many other scheduling programs, such as Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook, and Google Calendar. To do this, click the "Export" button that appears below the photo on any particular event‘s page, or go to the Events page and click the "Export Events" link to export all of your upcoming events. Save the events to your computer as an ".ical" file, and import the events using your preferred scheduling program. When exporting individual events, clicking the "Export" button may automatically import the event to your computer’s default scheduling program.

    HOWEVER, this did not work with Safari (which brought me here). I was able to do it with Firefox though.
    Let's see if it works for you.
    Sincerely,
    Luana

  • Facebook events to import directly into my iCal on my Mac mini?

    How do I get events that I have on Facebook to automaticcly import into iCal on my Mac Mini?

  • Facebook events not showing up in calendar app

    Hi
    I can see the events I've joined on facebook showing up on the calender app on my iphone (ios6) but can't see them on the ML (10.8.2) calendar app. my facebook account is linked with both machine. what do I miss?
    thanks in advance:)

    Hello, I have had the same issue, the Facebook intergration with ioOS displays all the facebook events in the calendar - which can be a real pain if you have lots of events.
    I have not found any option in iOS6 to filter by accepted events or to hide declined events. This is something Apple should really work on - sounds to me like they just bundled this into iOS6 without consideration for accepted or declined events.
    So the workaround which I have found is to stop the facebook calendar in iOS6 (Settings/Facebook) and instead to subscribe to Facebook events and/or birthdays via the site straight into iCal. What is in your iCal will appear on all your devices so there you go. Make sure in FB to state that you don't want al events to be displayed. Then you'll be fine.
    Use this link if you want http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-Facebook-Events-to-iCal
    Make sure to go to the settings option on FB page to select which events you want displayed.
    It lacks the neat little FB icon that would appear via the iOS intergration but lets hope Apple sorts this out quickly and that we'll be able to chose which events to display, accepted or rejected etc....
    Hope this helps,

  • Can you make Facebook events appear on Mac Calendar?

    The title more or less says it all. Facebook events now appear on the iOS 6 calendars, but do they also appear on Mac version? Am I missing something?

  • Setup Facebook Calendar in iCal??

    Hi
    I'd setup Facebook calendar in iCal last year and then deleted it lol. I cant remember how I set it up lol.
    I have looked at this link:
    How to Sync Facebook Events to iCal: 7 Steps (with Pictures)
    It sets it up but not in the way I remember. When I follow the advice in the link , the calendar is listed under iCloud.
    When Id set it up last year, the Facebook calendar would be listed under Subscriptions with the Facebook Logo.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks
    Baz

    brosen,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You should be able to click on the calendar and choose Edit>Delete.
    ;~)

  • Why can't facebook events sync with OSX?

    For my iphone 4S and new iPAD, facebook events are reflected in my calendar due to new iOS6

  • Why are Facebook Events not showing in iCal?

    Hi,
    I subscribed to my Facebook Events calendar in iCal an it was working fine. All of a sudden the events stopped showing in the calendar. The same happened on my iPhone.
    I check and the link is still the same. Anyone else having this problem/ found a fix?

    I'm having the same problem. I unsubscribed, then subscribed again hoping it would fix the problem, but still not seeing any events.

  • ICal on Mac and Facebook events

    i've updated my Macbook OS to the latest 10.8.2 and the facebook events/birthdays doesn't seem to even appear in my iCal..
    even at the account settings, the Facebook account didn't even ask for permission to access my iCal..
    my iPhone and iPad are ok after updating to iOS 6...
    anyone knows how to go about this?

    Hi Martin,
    Are you using MobileMe? Are you syncing the events to the iPhone through iTunes or pushing them over the air with MobileMe?
    If you are using MobileMe you can set the Time Zone online at http://www.me.com/calendar/ click the Gear> Preferences> Advanced.
    Try turning off Time Zone Support on the iPhone, tap Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Time Zone Support, off.
    Did that change the time on the events?
    If you are not using MobileMe or that does not resolve the issue, try the tips below.
    If the Time Zone Support is on in iCal, try disabling it. Go to iCal>Preferences> Advanced> uncheck Turn on time zone support. You can change Time Zones of events in iCal as described in the iCal help article: "Changing the time zone for an event"
    If the issue persists try resetting the sync history as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030 and then syncing the calendar events to the iPhone again.

  • How do i delete a Facebook event from my iPhone 5? (there is no delete button or edit button)

    Hi
    I cannot delete an facebook event from my Iphone 5. This event has been accepted by email invite.
    There is no edit or delete button at the top or bottom of the screen when I tap the event to search out its details.
    How do I remove such an event from my Ical calendar on my Iphone 5?

    I am not sure how this works but it seems that it may be all or nothing.
    To turn off Facebook events on your device:
    Settings > Facebook > Calendars > Off
    If you do not want to disable everything, maybe this thread will help:

  • How do I keep Facebook events from littering my calendar?

    I don't want Facebook events on my iCal.  I've been poking around, to no avail, trying to figure how to weed them out.  Is there an easy way?

    Hi,
    You don't say what version of OSX you are on.
    On OSX 10.8 the Facebook events I have are in a subscribed calendar called "<your name> Facebook Events" under iCloud. To remove the calendar, right click the calendar and select Delete.
    Best wishes

  • Declined Facebook Events Showing in iOS Calendar

    Hi
    Ive noticed recently that Facebook Events that Ive declined show up in the iOS Calendar on my iPhone 5. Ive went into Calendars and Show Declined Events is switched off.
    The strange thing is they don't show in iCal on my iMac which is also linked to my Facebook account.
    Any ideas how I can resolve this irritating issue?
    Thanks
    Baz

    I second this solution
    This was a long standing problem for me (even pre-ios7 maybe), it's a shame i've never come across a method so banal like this a perfect, easy way.
    Thanks a lot Timothy, now i can switch fb calendars back on.

  • How can I hide a single event in iCal?

    I'd like to be able to mark the occasional event in iCal private, or hidden from view, but everything else visible. Is this possible?

    I agree, I can post a calendar from Outlook 2007 to my corporate iCal Server marking items as private and thus anyone subscribing to my calendar won't see what the appointment is - only that I have something in my schedule. It'd be something awesome if the Apple iCal could be able to do the same thing.
