Help! New event text is invisible in subscribed calendar...

A little over a year ago, I set up a private webDAV server here in my office to act as a host for department calendars we could all publish/subscribe to. That has worked with great success, until now. Several people are publishing cals, and the main department calendar is being published by one of our art directors. She has recently switched to a Macbook Pro running 10.4.5 and iCal 2.0.3.
For some reason, when we republish this calendar from the new mac, it shows up with the right name and there are events showing to all the subscribers, but all the text is invisible. The events simply show up as colored bullets with no text, or a solid colored bar for 'all day' events.
Has anyone experienced this and found remedy? Any ideas for me?
The enviornment is about 20 macs (G5's and intels) running either 10.3.9 or 10.4.5, and the iCal 'server' computer is a G4 Quicksilver on 10.3.9 and iCal 1.5.5
Thanks in advance for any ideas-
Sean

John, that was it. I think i was looking for something way more complicated than that. Very simple. Thanks so much for taking the time to chime in. I hope to stick around the forums here and maybe have something to contribute. Thanks again-

Put new events created on iPhone into subscribed calendar?

Is it possible to put new events created on my iPhone calendar into a subscribed calender on my MacBook's iCal? It doesn't seem so. The "Calendars" section of the info tab in iTunes sync lets me use any local calendar that I have created in iCal ("work" "home:", etc.) to put new events into from my iPhone. And they do indeed show up after synching. But what I would really like to do is put them directly into a calDAv calender I subscribe to on the MacBook and that doesn't appear to be an option.
To be sure, events from the calDav calender show up nicely on the phone when I synch. But phone to calDAv on the MacBook would be handy because MacBook syncs directly with the calDAv server.
Thanks for any help with this.

I just realized that I have terminologically muddied the waters with how I posed my question. Permit me to put it better: can I put new events created on my iPhone onto a calDAV calender on my MacBook?
The way I orignally posed it in terms of a subscribed calendar was wrong, inasmuch as you don't subscribe to a calDav calendar; you sync it.
My apologies for the inexactitude. I hope someone can help me.

Please help! Code 4: Unexpected Error on Subscribed Calendars

Hi there,
I am trying to subscribe to an iCal feed that I created in Yahoo Pipes. When I do so in iCal, I get this error: Code 4: Unexpected Error on Subscribed Calendars
http://tinyurl.com/3zpgrg (screenshot)
This is the ical feel that I am trying to subscribe to:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?id=BIpsYf9q3RGvUZDNBR50VA&render=ical
I've tested that the feed is functional because I have no problem subscribing to it in Google Calendar.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what I may be doing wrong? I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work for some time now -- and the alternative (using Google Calendar) is not pleasant!
This is with all updates installed including OS X 10.5.5
Thanks so much,
Tyler

Does anyone have any ideas? This is driving me nuts!
Thanks=)

How do I get the event / text to show on my calendar?

In my calendar, when on the day, the text / event is not showing and it used to. If I click on it, it's still there but I want the event to show at a quick glance.

Joint Calendar new Event notification

My wife and I share the same Apple ID.
Is it possible to set up Calendar/iCal so that when either of us adds a new Event the other receives a notification on their iPhone that the new Event has been added to the Calendar?
Unti now we have used Google calendar (we have one each and share them) and notifications of new Events (or modified events) are received by text messages on our iPhones. I am trying to move away from Google and use Apple but this is proving a pain.
Any help would be gratefully accepted.

I'm absolutely new to iCloud and have a different problem, but whilst I was stumbling around trying to fix it I found this in the Calendar Preferences.
Does unchecking the second bottom and/or the bottom check boxes help?
Just upgraded to 10.8.2, just upgraded to iOS6.1, just migrating to iCloud.
Clueless ;-( Now ro post my own problem.

Can't add a new event to iCal on my iMac - but the event sync's to my iPad - is this a Lion problem? iCloud is on.

Can't add a NEW EVENT to my iCal on my iMac- however the event is sync'd to my iPad with no problem. iCloud is turned on for iCal. Is this a Lion problem or something turned pff. I cannot find an answer. Help?

William,
It is a possibility that you are adding new events to your "On My Mac" calendars.
"On My Mac" calendars will not sync with iCloud. After backing up the "On My Mac" calendars, and ensuring that all events are duplicated on your iCloud calendars you can delete any "On My Mac" calendars.

TS3999 New events disappear

If I put a new event into my iPhone or iPad calendar, it disappears in a few seconds.
Please help- I can't figure out what to do.

Ok! It seems to only happen for newly entered events that are backdated to more than 30 days ago.
For example- inputting a new event in the future or within the last 30 days ... Everything's fine.
Inputting an event more than 30 days ago ... Disappears.
Still don't know how to fix it, though...

Can't add a new event to an imaged iMac.

I have an older iMac at work. It is on a network so all the macs are imaged. When trying to add a new event to iCal it just doesn't work. I try to drag in day but the it just diasappears. This iCal is synced with my computer at home. It works fine on the eMac which is not imaged at work but is also synced with my home computer. Any thoughts?

New Events Are Created Automatically in Outlook

New events are appearing on my Outlook calendar that I didn't create. They
are blank execpt for the name "New Event" and the Start and End time are
filled in. I did not create these events and don't know why they appear
randomly on my calendar. I am using Outlook 2007, and the company uses
Exchange Server 2007 SP2. This is an Outlook account that has delegates assigned to it.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Changing calendar to enter new event on iPad 2

Hello, does anyone know how to change calendar in order that a new event is entered directly to that calendar? Do you have to change this from the default calendar to the right one on the Mac and then sync via iTunes?

You want to set the default calendar for all new appointments?

Transfer new events from iPod?

I have iCal at home and work. I don't want a .mac account and it seems like I should be able to sync my calenders with my iPod, i just can't figure out how to do it.
When I open the Calendars folder on my iPod in Finder and open one of the iSync calendar files there, it switches to iCal and the message "This calendar contains new events. Please select a destination calendar." But there aren't any new events and when I select a destination calendar, it duplicates the events already listed (because they are already on iCal and on my iPod).
It seems like there should be a way to import only new events so they are not duplicated over and over. Any one know of one?

The calendars that you see in the folder marked "Calendar" on your iPod all have names that start with ISync. They are files of your individual calendars, and you will only see them on your iPod. You won't see these files in your computer. You'll see them in your Finder window because it shows you what is in your iPod's hard drive, if you've checked "enable disk use" in your iPod's preferences in iTunes. Think of them as copies of what you have done so far in each of your individual calendars. I still think of calendar as meaning everything on my calendar, but iCal sees calendar as meaning each subject or category of the whole database. The database is everything, all of the categories you have in iCal. The ISync file for a specific calendar/category is everything you have in each individual category up to the point that you sync your iPod with your computer.
If someone wanted to copy just their "Work" calendar/category to a computer at work, they could import the ISync-Work.ics file from their iPod's "Calendars" folder to their computer at the office. That sounds like what you have described. It wouldn't add or update just one event, though, as you've discovered. It will import everything that's in that category. This is good if you don't want your personal calendars from your home computer or your iPod copied to your work computer. However, if someone did need all of their calendars, everything in their other computer's iCal from home copied to the work computer, then using iCal to make a back up is the better choice. I make a back up of my iCal to my computer regularly just in case I need it for any reason. If I want to have everything the same on my work computer, I can use my iPod's hard drive like a flash drive or portable drive. I can then go to iCal on the other computer, and choose "Revert to Database Backup". Technically, that means to go back to a previously saved version of everything you had in iCal. You could revert to iCal as you had it last year, last month, or yesterday. But you can also "revert" to the backup you made this morning or five minutes ago. It's puts in everything that was backed up to that point. Even if I am only updating one event, this takes very little time to do it this way. At this time, I don't know that there are any other options, other than the way you've been doing it and the way I've described. It's important to note, also, that If you've deleted events from one computer, the other computer is going to be exactly the same as the first, if you go this route.
It also sounds like it is time for iCal to get some kind of update to better meet people's current needs. We'll just have to wait for Apple or someone else to create an update or write a program that gives iCal more flexibility!

Can,t create new events in ical on Mac book Pro.

This morning when I try to add a new event a pop up appears "This calendar was created by Mail. You can’t add events to a Mail calendar. Mail calendars only contain to do items created in Mail." Ical worked fine yesterday. I have a mobile me acc and can edit the online calendar but not the one on my laptop.
Thanks

Called Apple fast track support and problem is resolved. User error, for some reason I had selected the wrong calendar - after selecting the proper calendar on the left sidebar I could create events. Apparently at some time I created a 'todo' mailbox. It had nothing in it and I ended up deleting it so it doesn't get selected again in error.
Took 15 minutes to connect with an ICAL specialist. Once connected received excellent support.

Ical 5.0.1: Subscribed calendar already exists (phantom calendar)

So it looks like a few people have this problem but no one has reponded with working answer. I thought I would try again. So my particular issue is that I am trying to re-subscribe to a calendar that I have previously deleted but iCal is telling me that the calendar already exists. I don't see the calendar listed in my subscribed calendars listing anywhere or anywhere else for that matter so I am trying to understand how I can completely remove this subscribed calendar so that I can re-subscribe to it.
I have 2 other subscribed calendars that I have deleted and re-subscribed to and didn't have any issues. Just this one calendar. I did noticed that I was using icloud to sync my subscribed calendars to my icloud.com account but I have removed that setting and tried to re-subscribe again but no luck.
Is there a way that I can delete the phantom calendar either or reset my iCal complete so that I can set it up as if it were a first time launch?
The reset might be the best approach if it can be done since my subscribed calendars are also not respecting the colors that I have assigned them (they are all grey).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
I'm still having this issue and would really like any suggestions if anyone knows of any. Basically, I need to view my calendar that doesn't have any events so I can change the password and get any new events for it.
Because the calendar app does not show the calendar in the calendar listing if it doesn't have any events (not smart btw), I don't have a way to change its information. And attempting to re-subscribe gives me the error that the calendar already exists.
Is there a way that I can view "all" calendars even if they are hidden or don't have any events scheduled for them so that I can change the login credentials? This issue is on the calendar app version 6.0 build 1645 on my mac os x laptop.
I know there has to be a way to do this but I just can't seem to find it and googling is not turning up any results. Even searching my my keychain for the login information and the systems preferences has not shown me anything.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

ICal subscribed calendars sync to iPhone ?

I have several calendars that are syncing well to iPhone from Leopard, but none of the subscribed calendars (holidays, sports team schedules, etc.) are syncing.
Is there some trick to get this to work?
Thank you for your help.

There are two answers to this subscribed calendars (holidays, sports team schedules, etc.) question.
1) When you sync the iPhone via your iTunes then the subscribed cals will sync. Be sure to check the correct boxes under iTunes. A visit to a genius bar may be needed.
2) If you sync your iPhone with MobileMe then you are out of luck.
The MobileMe issue:
This has been a thorn in everyones you know what for about one year. The answer to your question is..
You can't.
Apple does not support the idea of people actually getting all their info sync'd from MobileMe. If you have purchased a MobileMe Family Pack then the idea of sharing your info within a family is an oxymoron.
Just got back from MacWorld '09 and the utter disappointment in Apple not supplying an update to the iPhone in the Schiller keynote is overwhelming. No matter what the media is saying about MacWorld. The fact is, the two main issues at hand that people wanted to see for the iPhone was Copy/Paste and Shared iCals on their iPhones. It was not the stupid rumor of a iPhone nano. People really want functions fixed before new hardware.
No matter what Apple execs state about 'no one seems to care about these issues' is a lack of understanding about being mobile and productive. Apple created a great phone without allowing people to be to mobile.
So, until Apple finds the need to help its customer base with features they need or want (other then games and ifart programs from iTunes).. Well you are out of luck.
Sad to state, but true.
