Group Calendar and different problems

Hey everybody,
tried to work with wiki calendars for a shared group calednar. The basic setup went well, but now i figured out some problems:
The DNS is setup well, and "changeip -checkhostname" works without an error. The client could ping the server with <FQDN> and getting the correct IP address. Server is 10.6.8 as well as on the client 10.6.8.
1.) When creating an event in the shared wiki calendar: the user couldn't invite any person. The inivited person didn't get an invitation. In the shared calendar the user is marked with an "". When creating the event in the personal calendar the inviation is working (see Nr. 2 below) and the user is shown with an "?" and when accepted with an check.
2.) Inviting an other person (within the personal calendar) will showing up the event in iCal with a grey dotted border, but he didn't get a notification in in the list. He could accept or decline by finding the event in the calendar, double click it and hit "accept" in the event window. That's working fine, but he didn't show an message when a person is invited, the event has updated or anything else.
3.) Permissions in the wiki calendar: The user has the permissions to read the wiki, but not to write to it (assigned to it with the Webinterface).
When the user tries to edit or deleting an existing event the following message is shown
When clicking on "Revert to Server" the event is set back to the old data - reverted - that works fine.
But when the user tries to create a new event, he's getting the following message:
when click on "Revert to Server" another message is shown:
Ignoring the message would keep the event in the calendar as well as "Go Offline" but not synced to the server. Even after manual syncing to the server or restarting iCal, he is syncing with the server but keeping that event showing up. After a few days there are so many wrong event the user didn't know what's a correct event on the server, and what's a false event.
That's very wired, because the user might think it's on the server, but it isn't! It's just shown in the local iCal
Could these problems be solved be reconfiguring the server (maybe command line?) or are they "bugs" in the Server?

#1 is not possible from what I gathered through monthhs of digging through forums. Group calendars do not send/receive invites. I even think I saw it in the Wiki Server documentation. Our method here is to send out the invitation from the user.. and then copy to the group calendar. The sending of events can be a tricky one.. Here I use an email gateway because our mailserver is separate from the ical server.
#3 I am uncertain what you say is a problem.. if the user has read-only permissions to that group calendar any modification on his part of the read-only calendar will flag with the above error message.

"Group" calendars and SSL trouble...

Server: SL 10.6.3
Clients: SL 10.6.3, L 10.5.x
Because we're trying to run Mobile Access Server (MAS), we cannot use Kerberos for calendars on a mobile device like a laptop or iPhone. So SSL it is.
However I find that I have to create the calendar as Kerberos, relaunch iCal, then change it to SSL.
I can't ask my users to do that, especially since sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.
Do any of ya'll have any ideas that may help?
Thanks!

Hi,
The web group calendar works with its group. User iCals can interface to a web group calendar and make entries that get uploaded if they are group members, but the user of the web group is the group. In other words they are two different calendars and a specific users calendar is not viewed on the web. The web calendar is not an iCal like application.
Use Directory.app under Utilities to setup Locations and Resources.
For setting up a user to interact with group calendar through iCal take a look at

Google calendar and iCal problem

Hello
I use the google calendar with iCal. And I use the google calendar week numbers and holidays.
Before I installed lion, I had snow leopard and everything worked great.
But now, with Lion, it doesnt.
It's totally random, sometimes when I start iCal the week numbers and holidays are shown, but
shortly, after it have synced the calendars the week numbers and holidays dissappear.
And then I can try to restart it a couple a times, but nothing happens. But after a reboot it syncs, and then the
week numbers and holidays appear again.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Hi c014,
had the same problem. Think I'll switch back to Snow Leopard in a few days, as it has not such a high amount of bugs and it is more stable. Addtitionally it doesn't exhaust your hardware in an extend, lion does.
Let's get it to your problem:
As a Lion, iCal and Google user I had the same problem. Just got it fixed by deleting the Google CalDAV Profile in the iCal settings. When done, just add your Google account to your iCal again and voilà, that gave me back all my entries including week numbers and holidays.
Hadn't had the possibility to test if this solves the problem permanently. But I think so, as there are some other programs for example, that you can get back to work by reinstalling them, after they stopped working since Lion update.
Hope this will help you

IPod not syncing, very strange and different problem compared to others

I have an 80 GB iPod Classic, when i plug it in to sync with my computer. The computer makes the noise showing that the computer recognizes a USB port being used, however iTunes immediately freezes up while the iPod sits in limbo on its screen saying Connected while showing the Sync sign. While the iTunes is frozen, nothing happens and it does not change until I unplug the iPod. It doesn't matter how long I leave it for. When i unplug the iPod the device menu finally shows in iTunes however it doesn't do any good because the iPod is no longer plugged in. Instead it shows the DEVICE menu in the background with an error message saying either "The iPod "Customer's iPod" cannot be found. The required file cannot be found" or that with a (-53) error message at the end. I have tried many different things including system restore and still does not work. I have tried different ports, different cords. I really don't know what I can do from this point. I have installed and uninstalled iTunes 8.1.

Use the SHIFT-Launch iTunes method to get iTunes waiting for a library. Stick the iPod in disk mode and connect to the computer. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive which may be causing the problem. When the process is complete disconnect the iPod and then reset it (hold Menu+Select ). Cancel the waiting iTunes dialog and then try to connect in the normal way.
If that still doesn't work you could try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from working with it.
Have you tried connecting the iPod to another computer to see if the issues is focused on the iPod or iTunes?

Page and group Import and export problems

we are migrating from portal 3.0.6

when i imported security data for users and groups(secimp.csh) it swapped the users for two groups

Anybody has this problem?
Thanks

Hmm.. export/import only works between portal installations at the same version level. What you need to do is to use the upgrade scripts that will take you from Portal 3.0.7 to Portal 3.0.8, which are not available yet. We hope to make these scripts available in a couple of weeks on OTN. (Yes.. I too am waiting for these scripts).

Mail: 10.9.1 hasn't fixed group email and attachments problems

Hi all.
I was under the impression these were fixed by 10.9.1. but not for me.
Group email: trying to add a group to the BCC line email freezes Mail. I have to do this several times a day. I have several Contacts groups and Mail hangs whichever one I try to mail.
Attachments: every attempt to send mail with an attachment is rejected. I get the 'try again/choose another server' window after several minutes. Trying again is always successful, immediately. This has only happened since Mavericks and no settings have changed at the server end.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Aidan

10.9.1 is still in beta. Should you have any problems with it, you should post in the Mac Dev section.
Sorry,
Clinton

Group Web Calendar and iCal

I believe there is another posting regarding this, but here is what I'd like to do.
I have a need to keep a calendar through a group site on the web. My need is that I work as a classroom educator and I'd like to post a calendar for my students and parents. But I also use iCal by default - thus keeping it up-to-date on my laptop, desktop and iPhone.
Is there a web to sync the two calendars (group calendar and iCal) so that when I make a change on one that it would update the other?
If there is, I must surely have a setting on the server site incorrect - so some advice on the setting change would be great.
Thanks

Yes, there are a number of posted answers to this on the forum.

I would start narrowing down the problem by removing group members one by one and seeing if there is a particular member which is causing the problem. Then look at that account and see if there is anything different/unusual etc.

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

Cant see group calendars

So i have setup iCal server in an open directory environment. Its running ok, and i can manage and use individual user calendars, but the group calendars are not showing up in iCal on the client machine im using for testing. In this scenario i have a group called "Staff Members". and i have "wiki and blog" as well as "web calendar" checked in workgroup manager. with "group members only" set as read and write permissions.
If i access the web based calendar i do see the group calendar, and have all abilities i would expect.
The client machine is a bound member of the open directory. in iCal i added the account, and i am given a personal calendar which i can edit and use. but i do not see the group calendar. and if i go into "Delegation" it says i cannot access any accounts.

ICal Group Calendars Repeating Events

Is it really true that group calendars can't have repeating events? If you add an group account in iCal and then take events from the Group calendar and make them repeating they do not show up in the web calendar.
Is Apple telling up that standing weekly or monthly meetings for a workgroup are "a bad thing"?

I have finally got Leopard Server Advanced up and running with Open Directory, iCal Server, Wiki Server and DNS. I haven't tried my luck on anything else because my experience is that once you break something there is no way to fix it other than a clean install!
Now I find that repeating events don't show up in the web calendar? Obviously this product was not ready to be released. I am hoping that after a couple of more point releases, maybe by 10.5.5, this will finally be stable and feature complete.
It has a long way to go before it lives up to its hype. It does have potential though so I am willing to hang in there.

2 iphones 1 comuter - how to get 2 different calendars and contacts on each

I have been using my iphone 3G for a few months and syncing to outlook for contacts, calendar and notes. My wife has just got her own phone (3G). She logs in to the computer with her own account and has her own itunes library so there is no problem with us syncing different music libraries. Problem is we want to set-up an outlook file for her with her calendar, contacts and notes.
When she is logged in though and opens outlook instead of being able to create her own outlook calendar, contacts list and notes she seems to be opening mine (even though she is logged in as her). How can she set up her own outlook without altering mine or having to see all my information?
Anyone managed to get two iphones syncing on the same computer but different user accounts to different Microsoft Outlook 2003's. This may be more an outlook question than an iphone one!

This is an Outlook problem, and a bit tricky to fix via long distance through a forum. So if you have a local Windows expert ask them to look at it. If you want to try yourself I'll see if I can help.
Does your Outlook sync to an Exchange server, or do you just use it as an email client for POP3 or IMAP?
Has your wife ever used Outlook with here own email account? It sounds like the answer is no, so how does she now access her email?
What you need to do is log on as your wife, then create a new Outlook account using Outlook under her Windows ID. In Outlook go to Menu/Options/Email Accounts and choose to set up a new account.

HT4968 How to Create Birthday Calendars using different contact groups.

I am trying to create photo calendars as a gift including birthdays using either iCloud or iPhoto 11. However each calendar is different - do not want all birthdays on all calendars. I've tried creating separate contact groups but it seems they all appear no matter what. Isn't there a way to create a master birthday list and assign each person to the calendars that I want the birthday to appear on?
I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and have Adobe Creative Cloud, iPhoto, etc.

Hi Chirag,
I've read the following link, but the question is....
- Where is the link to create transport groups? That is my only question It's as easy as that
Found it...sorry I knew it was easy

Using N79 sync calendar and contact group

Dear all,
I am using N79 to sync contact and calendar to ovi website. But I find that calendar and contact group data cannot sync to ovi website. Is it possible to do it or ovi website still does not support to do it? Thank you

It is possible to use N79 and sync to OVI. I do it all the time and I can sync my contacts, notes and calender. I have had the following observations/problems :
- When syncing you have to log-out - or maybe switch away from the calender before you can see any changes that were made on the phone.
- I had some reoccurring events in my calender (birthdays). For some reason all these were shifted -1 day so a b-day occuring on march 7th would be on the 6th in OVI. I have now removed birthdays from the calender and added them to the contacts instead. Then the b-days should appear on the standby-calender-screen, but I miss an overview of upcoming birthdays.
- It would be nice if you could share your OVI calender with friends or your wife, so you can plan your life together.

Upper and lower case Username creates Contact, Calendar, Note acces problems

Dear All
Maybe someone has a solution for this or discovered the same case. Our server infrastructer is using Username with upper and lower case letters e.g "Galler".
Pushing these access data (Username, server adress etc.) for E-Mail, Contact, Calendar and Notes via the profile manager creates problems for the Contact, Calendar and Notes access, because profiles is rechanging the username in all lower case letters "galler". For the E-Mail it is not the case.
Every help would be very appreciated. Maybe some solution in using username alias with only lower case letters, but I don't no how to establish.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.
