How to use iCal

How can I add categories or edit the category color on iCal in the Cloud section?

If you bill for your time on a project-by-project basis, or simply need to keep track of time intervals required to complete tasks or projects, TimeLog—a low cost application that communicates with iCal and interacts with the synchronization framework—will do that.

How To Use iCal To It's Full Potential?

I've had iCal on my Macbook since I bought it 9 months ago and have used iCal on a moderate basis.
It's only been moderate because it never really hooked me to organizing my life within it. Usually I just use a pen and paper to jot down my priorities and events but I figure that's pretty lame, especially since I carry my Macbook everywhere.
Any suggestions on how to use iCal to its full extent?
Any possible programs or downloads to enhance my iCal experience?
Any advice would be great as I want to begin to utilize iCal on a daily basis.
thanks!

How to using ical with two separate iphones

hello
trying to understand and learn how to use Ical with 2 different Iphones, using Icloud.

To sync iCal across computers, the calendar needs to be published to a server. This can be a local server that you can set up, or it can be something like google or microsoft exchange or apple's mobile me. The best bet may be to wait until fall and see what iCloud offers!
Sharing your screen can be accomplished a few different ways. You can have two iChat accounts set up, and have one logged in on each computer, and then use iChat's screen share feature. The other way is to go to System Preferences, Sharing, and then check the box next to Screen Sharing. You may have to adjust some of the settings in there, but give that a shot.

How to use iCal Server with clients?

Ok, so since I can't find this anywhere... How do I use iCal Server with other desktop clients? I've selected the user, enabled calendaring, the user can authenticate in web-based group calendars. But then I'm stuck.
How do I give them their own calendar?
In iCal, I go to Accounts and try and enter the info but it fails every time. I tried the dns name like so: "calendar.example.edu" but it generates an error. But the user can log in to the web calendar for groups. Where is the users individual calendar located?
The help menu ignores that field as if it's not needed, but then it fails because the calendar doesn't know where the server is. The clients can't all be OD bound, so this has to work outside of Open Directory. According to Apple other CalDAV clients can connect too. How? Computers just don't "connect" on their own.
Anyone know the answer?

I was getting the same error when I tried to subscribe to a calendar using:
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname
I found that if I added a trailing slash to the URL then it would work :
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname/
(the way I found this was to navigate via the web browser to http://myserver.example.com:8008 then authenticate as a user, then navigating through to http://myserver.example.com:8008/principals/users/ where you can see all the user names all with a trailing slash after them)
hope this helps

How do I use ical with ios 107 update?

I use ical for my dog grooming business & the ical was perfect for it but when I did the update to my ipad it is very difficult to use. On the old one I could look at the month ahead & if I seen a day that I wanted to look at I could just double click on that day & it would pull that day up for me but now I have it takes me for ever to figure out how to look up what I need to. This update for the ical does NOT work for me. Back to my ? is there any way to put the old one back on?

Thanks, I tried ALL of the above, BUT found no success.
I went through all the avenues to avoid paying $19 + tax for an Apple service call, and I will share my issue and solution here. I did all the removing of the calendar, resyncing and still had no calendar on my iPod.
The last time this happened, I believe it was an issue with the installer file. I think the Senior Tech just wanted to make sure it didn't happen ever again.
This time, I talked with a normal IT Tech (for free), after waiting some time, she came back and asked me to reset my iPod. For those of you that need the step-by-step here it is (mine is an iPod Classic 120 GB):
- Move the lock button back and forth, until you see the display change from lock to unlock
- Hold down Menu button and middle circular button (I guess you can call this the ENTER button) simultaneously until Apple logo appears in middle of screen (and nothing else)
- Wait a matter of moments until the screen comes back with your menu items, icons, etc.
- Check to verify calendar is there.
If the other options above don't work, this is the next step. Save yourself $20 and try this first.
Good advice (that I am going to try in the future): just reset your iPod every month or two, and avoid all the hassle I had!
Good luck!

Imac is 4 months old. Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone. How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me. I am new to the apple world. Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook. Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
The question is: how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac? Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine? I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

Using iCal on iPhone in Day view - How can I move divider to give more space to all-day events?

I am using iCal on an iPhone
I would like to move the divider that seperates all-day events from the timed events. I would like to view with more room for all-day events and less room for timed events. How can I do this?

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

How to use delagated google task OsX iCal (not iOs, OsX!)

Hi,
So I have this little problem here. In Os10.7 I managed to get my gmail calendar in iCal, but the delegated TASKS are not showing in the Reminder.
I somehow have the same problem no my other computer, with Mountain Lion.
Is it simply impossible, or am I just forgetting something? This is crucial, because I have little interest in using iCal & Reminders if I cannot sinc with google (reason is, I am also using a PC)
thanks

My problem is; How can I get the Software back again - off these old Installer disks?
Use Pacifist.
Also, be aware there is software that will run fine in Mt. Lion but fails to function properly in Mavericks. Logic 8 is apparently one example of this phenomena.
Snow Leopard, if it will boot and run on your iMac is probably your best option; even over Tiger or Leopard. Be sure to install the optional Rosetta (and IMHO, QuickTime 7).
You have a computer that is running 10.9.x Mavericks and put in your DVD drive your old install disk only to find a line crossed through it? The universal "no" symbol meaning it won't run?
This is usually a sign of PowerPC software which should run in Snow Leopard with Rosetta installed but not in Lion or thereafter without virtualization of SL.
I would not want to run this (CAD) software under any form of emulation mode - that would really kill its performance.
If virtualization becomes your only option: Do not forget that your older software will have better performance running on today's more powerful CPU's (i5, i7, etc.) in emulation/virtualization than they did on the older G4, G5 PowerPC CPU platform.
That being said CAD may have complex graphics that do not work well in virtualization.
You're just going to have to experiment and find the best operating environment for your software.

HT2513 I am using iCal 5.0.1. I want the time displayed in 24hr format. I would also like to schedule events in 24hr format. Any suggestions on how to do this?

I am using iCal 5.0.1. I would like to have my time displayed in a 24hr format instead of 12hr format. I have already set my computer to display time in a 24hr format. How do I do that?

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

HT1338 I use iCal for the first time. How do you update it without needing to update all programs of your computer?

From the iCal Help Menu in the Tool Bar...
Changing or deleting an event
You can change the time, day, alarm, or any other settings for any events you’ve created, or you can delete an event.
You can’t change the events on a calendar you’ve subscribed to (subscribed calendars appear in your Calendar list under the heading “Subscriptions”), and you can only change the calendar, status, and alarms for events you’ve been invited to.
To change or delete an event:
To change the time or day of an event you’ve created, drag the event to the new time or day in the main calendar view.
To change an event’s duration, drag the event’s top or bottom edge. (You can resize events only in Day or Week view.) If the event is an all-day event, in Week view, drag the left or right side of it.
To change the name of an event, double-click it. If necessary, click Edit to open the event editor. Select the event name, type a new name, and then click Done. (You can also change the name of an event without opening the event editor by holding down the Option key while you double-click the event name.)
To edit other characteristics of an event (for example, how often it repeats or whether it has an alarm), double-click the event. If necessary, click Edit to open the event editor. Make your changes.
To delete an event, select the event and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
If you’re changing an event to which you’ve invited other people, you need to send an updated event to the invitees by clicking Send in the event editor

I am using iCal 8.0 and I don't know how to include event times along side the event in the monthly view. help. :)

I am using iCal Version 8.0 (2026)
I have read through responses to a similar question as I am posing, but the recommendations that I've found don't seem to be in the iCal preferences/ general tab.
Two great solutions that don't seem to be in my preferences winder are:
1. A respondent recommended checking the box 'show event times' on the general/ preferences tab, but that box does not appear in my window
2. A second response i found recommended that 'I check box for 'Show time in Month view.' in Under General/ preferences, but that option is not appear either.
Any other thoughts please

The grouped yellow pages are a Section (Chapter).
If you have logical divisions within your documents that fall on page boundaries, do the sensible thing and actually divide them with:
Menu > Insert > Section Break
…where you want the separation. Both before and after.
Moving or removing individual pages is like ripping pages out of a book and/or reshuffling them. It makes sense to relocate or remove entire sections, which are pages connected by their content, but not the individual pages within those that have continuing text both before and after them.

HERE'S HOW TO SHARE iCAL w/ MULTIPLE USERS on 1 Mac

Here's how to share iCal calendars among multiple users on a single Mac.
What you need to do is to move the iCal folder to a shared folder that is accessible to all users and then replace the iCal folder in each user's library folder with a "symbolic link' to the shared iCal folder. The symbolic link looks like an "alias", but if you try this using "aliases" to the shared iCal folder it will not work (trust me). You can create symbolic links using the Terminal, but I have no idea how, and the idea of using the Terminal scares me. The easiest way that I know of to create a symbolic link is with a shareware application called Cocktail. It allows you to do a number of different things including System Maintenance, Network Optimization, etc. It took me a while to remember how to do this; I originally found the information in the Discussions when iCal was first released, but apparently none of those original postings are listed in the forums anymore.
Here's how to do it (you must have Administrator privileges):
First locate your iCal folder (your user name > Library > Application Support > iCal) and make a copy of it (Finder > File > Duplicate). Drag the copy to your Desktop until you're sure iCal is being shared between users.
Next move the original iCal folder into a Shared folder in the Users folder (Hard Disk > Users > Shared > iCal). To make sure all users can access the information, select the Shared folder, choose File > Get Info, click the little Lock icon, then under "Ownership & Permissions -> Details" make sure that the "Owner" is "System", "Group" is "Wheel" and "Access" for Owner, Group and Others is "Read & Write". Do the same with the iCal folder within the Shared folder, but this time, under "Ownership & Permissions -> Details" make sure that the "Owner" is "your user name", "Group" is "Staff" and "Access" for Owner, Group and Others is "Read & Write" and click the "Apply to Enclosed Items" button. I basing this information on what the Ownership & Permissions are for each of the folders in my system.
Open Cocktail (I'm using version 3.6.5). Once the app is open (you must enter an administrator's user name and password) click on the "Files" button, then click on the "Links" button. Where it says "Create Symbolic Link" click on the "Choose" button. Navigate to the iCal folder (Hard Disk > Users > Shared > iCal) and click "Choose" again. In the "Save As" box that appears enter "iCal", then navigate to the Application Support folder in your Home folder (your user name > Library > Application Support) and click "Save". Quit Cocktail and open iCal. You should see all of your calendars as you did before.
Log in under each additional User, move that User's iCal folder (user name > Library > Application Support > iCal) onto the Desktop, then create another Symbolic Link to replace it, using Cocktail as described above. In each case you should see the same calendar information as when you were logged in under your user name. As a test, add a New Event or To Do in iCal under one user, log out and back in under another user and you should see the changes when you open iCal.
Once everything appears to be working, you can delete the iCal folders from each User's Desktop.
As an additional maintenance measure, use Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
Unfortunately, if each User has his/her own calendars in iCal they will not be in the shared calendars. Only the calendars in the first iCal folder used to set up the shared folder will be available and I don't know of any way to merge or combine the other user's calendars into one.
Hope this helps and good luck!

If every user first exports their calendars (with unique names) and then the "First" user imports them, before all the other set up, everyone's calendar will be there.
Also, iCalShare lets you publish and subscribe on a computer or across a local network, without having to let everyone see and edit all your calendars.
