ICal 4 with Leopard

I have a Mac at work and they haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard. I have Snow Leopard at home and want to use the new feature to sync with Google Calendar (not just subscribe). Is there any way to be able to use version 4 with Leopard?

Hey, how and what did you do? I am also interested

How can I sync my local calendars in iCal with Leopard?

I have a number of local calendars that I've been exporting to FileMaker into my /user/Library/Calendars folder, and syncing in iCal. I was using, as an example, "http://localhost/~johnnolan/bookings.ics" as a URL in iCal.
Now, with Leopard, my calendars don't refresh, and if I re-enter the url that had worked, I get this message:
"Connection to the server localhost was refused"
How can I fix this?

I find that I can sync fine with Entourage and I cal under Leopard. I can also subscribe to the Leopard I-calendar on another computer (running Tiger). However, the calendar will not go onto a web page as it used to; this is very frustrating for my colleagues! We need a fix here I think.

Manual Setup of New iCal for Leopard

I'm using 10.5.8 and upgraded iCal to the latest one since they say in the email that it is possible to use iCal with Leopard, even though I need to setup manually.
But, that's the all I could find.
There is no guide or manual whatsoever as to how to set it up, at least it's not in the range I can see.
Does anyone know how to make Leopard work with the latest iCal somehow?
Thank you.

Thanks!
That's what I was looking for.
I'm not sure why Apple did not provide the link to this page in the first place, makes me wonder if they just force the current Leopard users to switch to the Snow Leopard...

How do i sync ical to google calendars with Leopard?

Hi I am trying to syn two macbooks ical to google calendars. I can do it on one by going ical>preferences>accounts>+account>
which pops up a box with Accounts information : server settings: Delegation along the top and description: username:password:fullname:refreshcalendars along the left
But after ical>preferences>accounts>+account> on the other older macbook with Leopard OS the pop up is more basic with no tabs across the tops just down the left description :username:password: account URL
But when I input exactly the same info it says the login failed - your password was rejected by the server but the password is absolutely correct and I have double checked it by logging in else where.
Any advice?

I found the answer.
The computer that I was having problems adding the Ical cal dav account to for google calendars has iCal 3 software;
This is how to set up the account after turning on 2 step verification in google and creating a application specific password
Set Up Google Calendar iCal Sync in iCal 3
To set up Google Calendar iCal synchronization manually:
Select iCal | Preferences... from the menu in iCal.
Go to the Accounts tab.
Click + beneath the Accounts list.
Enter "Google Calendar" under Description:.
Type your Google Calendar account user name (say, your Gmail address) under Username:.
Enter the Google Calendar account's password under Password:.
Expand Server Options.
Type "https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/" (not including the quotation marks) underAccount URL:.
Append your Google Calendar user name to that.
Append "/user" (excluding, again, the quotation marks) to the that.
Finally, you could have something like "https://www.google.com/ calendar/ dav/[email protected]/user" under Account URL:.
Click Add.
Highlight the newly added account in the Accounts list.
Go to the Delegation tab.
Make sure all calendars you want to access in addition to your default Google Calendar calendar are checked.
Close the Accounts preferences window.

Ical won't launch with Leopard

Just installed Leopard and now says I can't use this version of iCal with my new operating system. Is there another version to download?

magwill,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
What version of iCal are you attempting to use? It should be Version 3.0.5.
Is the iCal you are attempting to use in your Macintosh HD/Applications folder?
How did you install Leopard?
Have you attempted to "Try Disk Utility" to Repair Disk Permissions?
There is no download of iCal available, but it can be accomplished using your Leopard installation disk. This is the procedure: (but I recommend that you answer my questions before proceeding)
1. Insert your Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
2. The disk will appear on your desktop.
3. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
5. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
6. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
7. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
8. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
9. Select (✓) iCal.
10. Click (Continue).
11. After iCal has been reinstalled, download and reinstall the OS X 10.5.5 Combo Update to bring iCal up to the most recent version.

I just downloaded Snow Leopard to my Mac Book, now my ICalendar says I cant use this version of iCal with this version of Mac OS X, i currently have ICal 3.0.8.....what do i need to do?

Your profile shows you are running Snow Leopard. Put the Safari version you now have into the Trash. You need to reinstall Snow Leopard.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

ICal with Tiger and Leopard

Hi,
I have a PowerMac G5 running Tiger 10.4.11 and a powerbook pro laptop that runs Leopard. I cannot seem to have iCal work on Tiger: it keeps crashing after a few seconds, after sync starts asking to review conflicts. On the laptop with Leopard, there is no problem. Do you know if this problem can be resolved?
I tried to remove the Library/Application Support/SyncServices directory and redo the syncing but it does not work.
Thanks for any help,
marc

I have a problem that may give you the answer, though if it's correct it's not an answer you would like. I don't have iCal on my machine. I reinstalled the OS a few months back and I guess it didn't go with it. There was an installer in library/receipts in a package form, but the installation wouldn't go through. By the way, I'm running 10.4.11. Anyway, I went to Apple's download site and found that the only iCal they had on the site was for 10.3.9 at the latest. There was nothing past that to download. I'm thinking perhaps if you don't have the same iCal you did when you bought Tiger/your new computer, you're running a version that's not supposed to be on that version. Now I just have to find a copy of the program for Tiger. If not on Apple's site (and I tried versiontracker), then I don't really know where. That's really all I can think of.

APPLE = Fix iCal in Leopard!!!!!

Hi,
What did Apple do to iCal in Leopard? They broke it somehow. I had hard drive failure in powerbook. Replaced Hard drive, did new install of Leopard. Then installed Palm desktop 4.2 (newest from site). Setup Palm Treo 650 conduit in isync. It will only sync the addresses, nothing in iCal. Either way is bad. From Treo to iCal, and iCal to Treo won't work. Everything IS setup correctly. I used to do this in Tiger with no problems. What did Apple do to Leopard? This needs to be corrected immediately! I do all my scheduling in iCal. It is useless to me if I can't sync it to the Treo to take with me.

My sync in Leopard was working OK until today. My Nokia E61 syncs contacts but not calendar entries as of today. Strange. iSync doesn't recognize the calendars in iCal and says "No writable calendar was found" even though iCal is open right behind it.

I want to use Panthers iCal on Leopards OS?

I upgraded to Leopard OS and hate the new iCal with a vengeance. Does any one know if I can re-install my old iCal from the original disk or will I have to install the whole Panther OS as well? I'm a bit afraid to try in case Leopard gets taken off and I have to start all over again.

AppleMan...I have the same iMac you have...i-7 16GB with a SSD....just bought it second hand and it is about 1.5 years old....it was maxed out with upgrades when the original owner bought it. It was also restored back to factory settings prior to me taking possession.
I am making home movies in iMovie 11....max length 30 minutes or less. I am totally new to this editing. I am using HD footgage filmed from my Hero GoPro 3. I am finding that the movies that I am creating are skipping, staggering, hanging up etc...usually where I had transitions. I am certain I have enough power and memory in my iMac, so what's the issue? I read one of your other posts about optimizing each event or clip to 1080p? Is this what I need to do for every clip I import? Can I do this for all the clips at once on import? I also read that I may need to export the movie to quick time for smooth playback??
Any help you can provide would be appreciated!
Sincerely,
Matt
PS=How do I e mail you directly here in the posts? I went to your profile but didn't see any "e mail" or "contact" member button to click on.

Synching ical with ipod

when I synch my ical with my ipod I can't get my "notes" for an event to show up on more then one line. I tend to have quite a few notes that would be nice to access. Is there some way to put "enters" into it so it's readable on my ipod?
Thanks!

I don't have Leopard yet so it can't be that. I can't get my notes feature to work right either so I can't even use that instead. Guess for now I'm stuck with the old paper printer option....

Synching iCal with 10.5.8

Can't figure this one out. I've tried searching the forum but although there do seem to plenty of others with this problem none of the queries seem to have been resolved.
My Powermac and my intel macbook are both running Leopard and I've been using DotMac and then Mobile me for years.
Synching stopped working with iCal last autumn and I've had no success in fixing it. The Preferences accounts pane has gone blank and attempts to fill in my Mobile me account just give me "No Open Directory servers configured." Being a humble peasant I've got no idea what this means.
I presume this started when the upgrade became available but I can't use the iCal upgrade with Leopard and I cant upgrade to Snow leopard with my G5.
What's the Answer. Has Apple morphed into Microsoft?

Still no joy. It seems to be something to do with my G5 running 10.5.8
My Macbook seems to synch but nothing from or to my G5. Even doing a reset synch data on my G5 fails to make any impression on the Mobile me calendar. Is this a 10.5.8 thing?

Use iCloud calenders in iCal on Leopard

Hey
Is it possible to use iCloud calenders in iCal on Leopard, OS X 10.5?
This is my server settings:
https://p02-caldav.icloud.com/825681252/principal/ (I have change the number for the unic icloud id)
When I type my username and password, iCal find the account but not the calenders...
/ Fredrik

if people can get it working with 10.6, there has to be SOME method to get it working for 10.5.8.
It IS just CALDAV technology, the tech has not changed between 10.5 and 10.6, just the ical interface
has anyone had any success?
Really appreciate any help.
Note: Before posting "you can't sync ical etc in less than 10.7.2", please read the post. Yes you can. it is done using Caldav with 10.6 by finding the server address in your plist. There is NO REASON why this shouldnt be workable in 10.5.8, but I haven't been able to get it going.
Thank you any repliers in advance

Sync iCal with MS Exchange

Has anyone ever successfully sync'ed iCal with an MS Exchange server without using an intermediary?

I'm in the same boat with you, but unfortunately iCal doesn't have support for MS Exchange without using something "in the middle". You could use MS Entourage (included in MS Office for Mac), or if you are running pre-Leopard OS X (<10.5), you can use Snerdware's GroupCal. GroupCal seems all that we've ever wanted, but according to Snerdware's home page Apple is to thank for it not running on Leopard. Hope they get it sorted soon...

ICal on Leopard possessed by evil spirit

Is iCal on Leopard inhabited by an evil spirit? Apparently.
Why else would iCal refuse to let me do what I want IN MY OWN CALENDAR and instead try to impose its own will?
If someone sends me an invite, I get an email and click through to iCal. Now an entry is in iCal. But, there is a catch. If I want to accept the meeting but change anything about the entry (for example, give it a heading I can recognise, or fix the time of the meeting which iCal is usually getting wrong these days), iCal has decided I am not authorised to changes things IN MY OWN CALENDAR. No, the only way I can change it is to Decline the meeting (which I don't want to do, as it sends a decline message to the meeting organiser - and I am not declining).
If I want to just delete the draft calendar entry (after looking at it), iCal has decided I am not authorised to do that either - IN MY OWN CALENDAR. So I can either leave the wrong info in my diary or send a decline notice to the organiser (which I may not want to if I am not declining).
If I am in an email with an appointment mentioned, Mail now has nifty little buttons to let me create an iCal appointment for that entry. But only for the date/time iCal thinks (which is invariably wrong, due to time zones). I can't amend the date/time of an entry I am going to create IN MY OWN CALENDAR.
So, I can only conclude iCal on Leopard has been possessed by an evil spirit who wants to take over control of what I do IN MY OWN CALENDAR.
Very frustrating. This isn't what Mac software is meant to be about, surely.

G'day Lisa,
I have experienced the same frustration - and had it resolved by installing GCALDaemon (see my other post on this at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6921704#6921704).
This uses a Google Calendar as the middleman - but it works well, and enables you to edit in both places (and across ical versions). In fact you can edit your Google Calendar and have it show up on both Macs... (which stomps all over .mac calendaring).
Cheers,
Rodney

Question on Mail and iCal in Leopard

To those of you using Mail and iCal in Leopard...
What do you think of the new features? How does it handle things such as meeting invites and tasks?
I'm trying to determine whether or not to upgrade, and this is the determining factor. I have yet to find "professional" mail/calendar/task manager program for my Mac that makes doing business with Outlook users, easy (Entourage is terrible...)

As a consultant who runs around all day, I rely heavily on iCal, plus I use it to do my billing at the end of the month.
I find the new Leopard iCal, which I just upgraded to a couple days ago, to require lots more mousing. I don't like that at all. I prefer the info drawer of Tiger's iCal. I have to click like three times to get to where I can edit the name or note of an appointment. I'm currently planning to read the instructions (gasp!) to see if there are any useful shortcuts for those of us who are carpal-tunnelly challenged.
I don't use invitations or tasks, so I can't address that. Just the standard events.
I do love the way iCal and Address Book integrate with my iPhone. I dumped my Treo and have never looked back.
