Groups and iCal

Help!!!! I created a Group on .mac and I am trying to change the stock calendar. I am unable to find a way to import my iCal calendar into this page. Can anyone help?

I don't know - I haven't had any problems at all. Here is how iCal calendar to Palm category is intended to work:
Calendars and Categories
• iCal events are assigned to a Palm category with the same name as the calendar they are part of.
If the category does not exist on the Palm device, the Events conduit creates a category with the calendar name and assigns the event to that category. If that category cannot be added - due to space limitations - the event is added to Unfiled.
• Palm events/tasks that are in a specific category are sent to that calendar in iCal only if a calendar with the same name as the category exists.
If the calendar does not exist, the record will be sent to the calendar that is chosen in the conduit configuration sheet. If the calendar is read only, the event/task will be ignored.
• On the first synchronization of read-only calendars, the items are properly assigned to the correct category on the device.
If any edit is made to an item in a read-only calendar the change is ignored but will persist on the device until something forces it to be overwritten by data from the desktop, like if the R/O item was updated. If an item is assigned to a read-only calendar - a new event, etc - it will be switched to the calendar you have selected in your preferences.
• Calendars listed in the conduit settings are pulled from Sync Services, meaning that if iCal has not finished synchronizing with Sync Services the full list of calendars may not be read.
I'm curious about something…
When you first installed the Missing Sync for Palm OS, did you faithfully follow the instructions to synchronize one final time with iSync - so that your handheld and desktop applications contain essentially identical record sets - and, then set the Mark/Space conduits to Overwrite handheld with desktop data prior to the initial synchronization?

  • 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.

  • Can I sync my iPhone calendar with exchange server AND ical on my mac ?

    I have been happily using my iPhone synced with my Macbook over usb via iTunes.
    I have contacts and iCal syncing. I have a number of 'calendars' set up in iCal which allow me to view separate aspects of home and work but they all exist within iCal. iPhone just treats these as colour coded appointments (different colour for each ical calendar)
    I really like this set up.
    However, I just changed jobs to a firm where they have a hosted outlook exchange set up and I need to use the exchange calendar for work appointments and showing my availability.
    I have managed to setup my iPhone to work with the Exchange server for email as well as in apple Mail on my mac. This has all worked fine. However, I hesitated when iPhone asked if i wanted to sync my contacts and calendar. I said no as I was unsure if my private calendar/contacts would be uploaded to the public work area.
    In fact it seems that this is the least of my worries:
    As I have read on apple support for iPhone:
    "Note that after configuring an Exchange ActiveSync account, all existing contact and calendar information on the iPhone or iPod touch is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer syncs contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your iPhone or iPod touch wirelessly with MobileMe services."
    So I am really pleased that I didn't let it sync those and wipe out my personal data if that is really true.
    But now I am unsure how best to enable myself to view and update the work calendar on exchange.
    Also it would be nice to see work contacts on my iPhone.
    Contacts
    - although i have said no to sync contacts with Exchange in fact it looks like I can get contacts ok - when i send email from the Exchange account on the phone , it searches Exchange contacts on the server as i type in the TO box.
    - also in Contacts on the iPhone I have a new group that has been created with the name of my Exchange account. The group appears to be blank when you go into it on the phone, but you can type in the search box and get contact details from the server just fine.
    This seems workable for now for my purposes, although updating contacts is not going to be possible that way.
    I'd like more info on that if poss but more importantly..
    Calendar
    - Unlike Contacts, no Calendar has been auto created for Exchange
    - Unlike contacts, I can't see how I can view or search or create an appointment in my Exchange calendar on the iPhone
    What is the best solution to this problem - I presume lots of people face the same dilemma. My initial research suggests that there are multiple ways round this but all of them look like workarounds with various disavantages.
    Questions are
    - Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
    - Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
    - What is the best work around for this?
    At the moment I am seriously considering getting a separate iPhone for work and have that sync with Exchange fully although that seems a bit drastic and does not solve the problem of seeing work and home appointments on the same calendar.

    Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
    Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
    Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
    No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
    What is the best work around for this?
    None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
    I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

  • Address Book and iCal Server backups

    I'm working to implement a company-wide Address Book, iCal, and iChat server via Lion Server where I work, and I've gotten most of the setup figured out (I think), and am approaching the point where I can roll it out to a few users for further testing.  However, before I'm allowed to move forward any further w/ it I have to have two means of backing up in place and ready to be rolled out at the same time as the server—so I'm planning on using Time Machine as one so it does the entirety of the server and its data/settings, but they also want me to do one of the Address Book Server and iCal Server databases individually, like back up the folder the data is, so we can, if ever necessary, import the backup databases to another computer, so we at least have the content, if not the full server functionality.  And, for obvious reasons, it can't be backed up locally. 
    So I'm looking for a means of doing this and would love any input anyone has.  Ease of use/setup is pretty important as this is my first time setting Server up and I've no programming knowledge.  I'm fairly sure I'll be able to find (or write my own, though that's unlikely) or modify and AppleScript that simply copies/duplicates a Finder item, and I know I can have iCal automatically run a script (so I'd just have it run every night at midnight or something), but I have yet to figure out how to get the script to copy the folder to a specified location on a different server (or, for that matter, if it's even possible, though I'm sure it is...right?).  But that's not what I'm trying to ask here...though I certainly wouldn't mind if someone had thoughts on it and wanted to share them !  I just really would like to know which folders to back up, since it's not simply making an archive of the local Address Book.app database.
    And, since I'm already here writing a post, I'll ask one other question that's been nagging at me: in Server Admin.app, with the server (not the services) selected in the sidebar on the left, the Access pane selected in the primary Server Admin window, and Services selected, and trying to dictate which users/groups can access which services, the user can click the "+" in the lower-left corner of the window where added users would appear, and another window pops up next to the Server Admin window that shows a list of the users (and groups if you click the appropriate button).  My question is, why does it show me _krb_anonymous, _krb_changepw, and a total of 81 other items?  I understand more or less what they are (in a very general sense), but why are they shown as users?  More importantly, do they have to be listed there?  Technically I'm probably the only one that's going to be the administrator, and I'll know not to add them or modify them, but I don't want anything related to those items appearing in a directory search in Address Book when I get it set up (as they are showing up now; for instance, one user I created is Sandy, and I have it set to include directory contacts in searches, so on a client machine that is correctly communicating w/ the server (add a user, it appears in a minute on another client machine, and vice versa) if I go to search for that name as soon as I type "s" Sandy, the actual user shows up, but so do five or six other things, all of which are items from the aforementioned list in Server Admin (pretty much anything that has an "s" in it, which of course makes sense)—and that's what I don't want, I don't want the users to search for someone, see something like _krb_anonymous pop up, then think something is screwed up and call me and demand I come fix their computer!).
    Any thoughts, suggestions, and such are more than welcome and much appreciated!
    Thank you to all...

  • Duplicate Groups and how to get rid of them

    Somehow (maybe by having sync from iTunes and from MobileMe I have duplicate groups of calendars and contacs. With the same information in each group, I can't get rid of one set or the other. How can I do that and which one should I get rid of (if there's a choice)?

    If you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, if you also sync contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, this does nothing but duplicate your contacts and calendar events on your iPhone.
    Prior to firmware update 3.0, it wasn't possible to sync contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account and/or with an Exchange account and sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. Apple included the ability to do both primarily for those syncing business contacts and calendar events over the air with an Exchange account who also wanted to sync personal contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on a personal computer at home via the iTunes sync process. When doing so, you can view business and personal contacts and calendar events combined or separately. When doing this with a MobileMe account, this does nothing but duplicate the contacts and calendar events on your iPhone.
    To get rid of the duplicates, deselect sync contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by selecting Apply.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Select your MobileMe account.
    Turn Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing.
    A warning message will be provided indicating this will erase all contacts and calendar events downloaded from and kept synchronized with your MobileMe online address book and calendar along with an option to store this data locally on your iPhone. Decline the prompt to store this data locally on your iPhone.
    This will not erase the contacts and calendar events on your iPhone that were synced direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.
    Follow this by turning Contacts and Calendars back on for over the air syncing. You will be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select.
    This will get rid of the duplicates on your iPhone.

  • Can 10.5.8 OD master be used with 10.6.2 wiki and iCal services?

    Hi folks,
    I am having a hard time getting OD users on 10.5.8 to login to 10.6.2 iCal and wiki. Is this setting up supposed to work? I can't find any info from the Apple's OD Administrator's guide.
    Set up :
    * one 10.5.8 server running OD master
    * one 10.6.2 server running wiki and Apache
    * one 10.6.2 server running iCal and Apache
    * one 10.6.1 server running Mail service
    The server for Mail does not bind to OD for authentication, and after assigning each OD user in group "com.apple.access_mail" all users can connect to mail service and get/send emails. Authentication is working perfectly.
    However, based on the same OD master and user accounts, using the same connection methods (enabled iCal and Blog services in 10.5.8 server, without turning them on, and assigning users to both services in SACL) in the Wiki server and iCal server won't let any OD users to log in. In wikid's error log, I can see the following error msg :
    http://HTTPChannel,19,127.0.0.1 Unhandled Error
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    Failure: twisted.cred.error.UnauthorizedLogin: Bad username or password: <username>
    Here are the questions :
    * can 10.5.8 OD be used for 10.6 wiki and iCal service? Or must I configure 10.6.2 OD (either in another server or in the same host?)
    * must the servers for wiki and iCal bind to OD in order for the services to work?
    * must Kerberos be running for the services to work?
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    Charles

    A 10.5.8 OD master should be fine for wiki and calendar services on machines running 10.6.2. However, you do need to have your servers hosting wiki and calendars to be bound to your OD master. You can enable Kerberos for iCal if you'd like, but it is not necessary.

  • My Wikis and Ical on the WEB  give a Server starting up.. message

    Wikis (and Ical on the WEB) give a Server starting up... message with the turning wheel. They were working perfect, and yesterday started the problem. I have not changed any of the server settings neither permissions. From Mozilla Firefox on windows throes an Mac OS X server message
    500: An internal error occurred trying to process your request. Sorry. Safari gives a Server starting up..
    I checked permissions and look ok, root and admin group have read & write access. to
    /Volumes/DATA HD/ServiceData/Web/Documents/Collaboration folder and up in the path.
    Does anybody know how to solve this?
    I tried updating to OS X 10.6.5 but the problem continues.

    I am having a similar issue as you marktech, with colaboration folder on a different drive.
    My temporary solution is to stop and start web services on the server, and the message goes away and users can log in.  Problem comes back on a server restart.
    Swamped here so have not been able to apply troubleshooting techniques.
    What I have checked is verifying permissions on collaboration folder.  Seems like I had to re-apply permissions after any significant update.
    My final resolution will be to migrate from the ssd hard drive (the extra speed is not any significant impact for us) to a 1TB hard drive and migrate data back over to a single drive in original directory locations.  appologies have not had ample time to research the issues....

  • Address book and Ical new version are impractical

    Hi,
    In the next Lion update, will you give a menu option in order to have the old skins of Address book and Ical?
    I believe this would be necessary for many of us for the following reasons.
    Reason 1. Having the old 3 columns in Address Book was a lot more practical than the new version.
    Reason 2. Having the Calendar groups always showing is again more practical than the new scroll down version.
    Reason 3. We can debate on this one, but I'm still gonna mention it. It's not because my father has a 'leather' agenda and address book, that I want one too. Apple is know for their futuristic's cool esthetics, not for traditional's ones.  A couple of skin choice would be nice and would give us a choice instead of being forced upon this.
    So anyway, I really hope that this feedback will get to the development team.  There's a lot of us that miss the old version of these two programs since it lost some of it's practicality. My main complaint is about reason 1 and 2.
    Thanks
    P.S. Is there a way to keep Lion and have the 3 columns in Address Book like in Leopard and have the Calendar groups always showing instead of the scrool down version ?

    I agree with all your points and have filed an ER on the issue long ago.
    You can't get 3 columns in Lion, the best I've found is a double-click on the ribbon to give me groups on the right and all contacts on the left.
    EDIT: I also used Lion Tweaks to change the skins.

  • Mail and iCal doesn't work after restart

    Hello, after rebooting my Macbook Air I can't use Mail and iCal, which is starting automatically in the background. Please help me. Thanks

    Try these things:
    First, restart the computer, test.  If the problem persists:
    Test in a new user; if the problem persists, reinstall your OS (boot up the computer holding "option".  Click Recovery HD, then click "reinstall Mac OS X".  This will not delete your data, but I'd recommend a backup beforehand anyway, just in case).  You can also click "Disk Utility" in the Recovery HD, and attempt to repair your boot disk (Macintosh HD), and restart and test before reinstalling. 
    If the problem does not happen in a new user, try pulling the preference lists for the two programs.  You can find these by clicking Finder, going to the Go menu, hold option and click Library.  Click Preferences, then scroll down to "com.apple.mail.plist" and "com.apple.ical.plist".  There should be a few of each, pull these to the trash.  Restart and test.  If the problem still happens:
    Safe boot the computer by starting up holding Shift.  Test.  If the problem still happens, there is some interference from a third-party program, and you might need to disable or uninstall it.  You can disable third-party items on startup by going to Apple menu>System Preferences>Users and Groups, then clicking "login items", and removing (not un-checking) the third-party programs from the list.  I'd remove anything that isn't absolutely necessary to start up when the computer launches.  Note: This does not delete or uninstall a program, but only prevents it from opening when the computer first boots up. 
    Restart and test. 
    If the problem still happens, reply and list the steps you have done.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone sync does not show updated contact groups or iCal groups

    I have now spent the entire evening chasing issues with the Sync using iTunes 7.31. (I'm betting you'll see 7.32 very soon!) It began when I could not sync my iPhone via iTunes as it would hang when trying to sync contacts. After exporting all contacts, deleting all groups and reimporting the contact, I was finally able to get it working again ... well almost. When I went to sync, it now gets stuck on the calendar portion. So, thinking I had it figured out, I attempted to backup my iCal and restore from backup. I also deleted a bunch of no longer used groups. Well, when I went to sync again, it started hanging once again on the calendar. I also noticed that all of the cleaning up of groups in both the address book and iCal was for not as the changes did not get ported over to iTunes. So ... anyone know where iTunes is caching the info?

    Was finally able to solve the issue by deleting all iCal preferences, all iTunes preference, and all iSync preferences in the /user/library/.

  • What is the use of creating a new calendar group in iCal?

    Hi All!
    Still new to this. What is the use of creating a new calendar group in iCal? Enlighten me please.

    You may create own calendars for special purposes as e.g. Sport's, secret events, hobby's and so on.
    As iCal allows to share calendars, you want eventually not share family events to others or if you manage a circle you may only share the "Homebrew" calendar with them.

  • Grouping and Decimal characters in rtf templates.

    Hi guys and girls,
    I’m really struggling with a problem here regarding the decimal characters for the prices in my output.
    I'm using XML Publisher 5.6.3.
    My goal is to control the grouping and decimal character from my template.
    The numbers in the XML data file can either be 10.000,00 or 10,000.00. The format is handled by the users nls_numeric_characters profile option.
    The output of the template shall be based on the locale and not the data generated by Oracle Reports. For example: Reports to US customers shall show the numbers in the following format 10,000.00. Reports to our European customers shall show the numbers in this format 10.000,00.
    How can I achieve this in my templates? Can it be achieved at all?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
    The problem is that the report is generating the output based on the users profile option nls_numeric_characters.
    I have tried to override the users profile option in the before report trigger without any luck. I can alter selects so the query gets the numbers in the right format but then I would have to go through all queryes and reports which seem a bit wrong? Especially for the standard Oracle reports.
