How can I add an alram?

Welcome to the discussions, blue.
Are you clicking on the label "alarm" or the field "none"?

Is there a way to import "Jewish Holidays" into iCal? On Gmail calendar or Outlook you can add the Jewish Calendar so all Holidays are added each year, is this available for iCal too?

Ical disable alarms for group calendars

hi there,
i have ical clients setup to access group calendars on a 10.6.2 server. is there a way to disable the alarms for wiki/group calendars?
thanx

Hi,
Open the calendar list in iCal and select the calendar so the background is blue. Press Cmd-I (or choose Get Info from the Edit menu). A sheet should open with the calendar info, there is an ignore alerts option there.
Best wishes

Calendar added in Google Calendar not updating in iCal

Hi,
I added a new calendar (my hockey schedule from the leagues website) and it appeared in the 'other calendars' section in Google Calendar. I'm using Google Sync with iCal to keep them in sync. The problem is that this calendar didn't sync to my iCal calendar. When I add individual events in Google Calendar it updates automatically in my iCal application and vice versa.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Brandon
I'm using:
Google Calendar and Sync

Here is something to try to see if it is an account issue or a system wide issue.
If you create a new user account and try syncing just the calendar events, does it sync from the iphone to the computer.
To test this open system preferences and go to accounts.
Create a new account, call it test or something.
Log into the new account.
Open ical ant put in at least one event. If you do not put at least one event into ical, itunes does not know to merge the data and could erase the events on the iphone.
Once the test event is in ical, open itunes and go through the initial setup.
Then connect the iphone and sync just the calendar events.
Hope this helps.

Business iCal sending out multiple calendar invites - one calendar and one account, 2 people using it for work

First question:
My boss has a Macbook Pro (iPad & iPhone), I have a Dell and iPad. We use his iCal for our work calendar and my Outlook is logged into his iCal so that I can load appointments & send them out to clients. He obviously has access to the same calendar so that he can also load appointments.
We have realised that sometimes the meeting invite, although I only send ONE invite out, will send 6 invites to a person. Here below you will see the icons that appear next to the 6 invites that the person that receives it sees next to the invites. It is therefor 3 types of emails/invites that are each sent out twice to the client. This is obviously not ideal. Could it be that I must not include my boss in the invites (as it is already his calendar sending out the invites), or what could it be that I am doing wrong?
Second question:
How can I ensure that replies (Yes/No/Maybe/Comments) appear in the iCal meeting, as people reply, but those replies I have to copy and paste into the meeting as they do not currently automatically update in the meeting.
Third question:
Any suggestions on a better system/method?
Please help!

I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

ICal not displaying Exchange calendar form delegate

I have a very strange problem. I use iCal with Exchange 2007 and do have several delegates as read-only in their calendar. It works extremely well, except for one of them which can't be displayed. I got the following message : iCal can’t refresh the account “Manuel Moutoy”.
When I log on to a PC with outlook, I can perfectly access this calendar which makes me think the problems lies in iCal. I tried removing the user and re-adding him several times, but that did not change anything.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Jean-Francois.

Anyone else seeing repeated crashing with iCal connected up with delegate accounts?
I have successfully gotten 6 delegate accounts showing up properly in the main iCal window. Here is what worked for me when an account did not appear.
Note: This will delete all local calendar data and require you reconfigure your accounts and delegates. In other words, this assumes ONLY server-based / Exchange calendars used in iCal.
1. Got to preferences
2. Deleted the account from the Delegate tab
3. Close iCal
4. Navigate to ~/Library/Calendars and delete all files/folders there
5. Relaunch iCal and reconfigure primary Exchange account
6 Re-add delegates into iCal, waiting for each calendar to full sync down to local cache before adding additional calendars
Hope this helps!

Deactivate all alarms from Calendar?

Hi,
I synchronize my new iPhone with my MacBook Pro without problem.
And I work with my iPhone near my laptop. So now there is something that's not convenient:
I get all alarms twice: from iCal + Calendars
Is there a way to deactivate all alarms from Calendar (in the same way we can do it in iCal Preferences)?
Thanks
PAul

@frogdbs
Yes I already did... But that doesn't stops the alert messages...
@DaVBMan
I tried to sync after selecting to disable all alerts in iCal, hoping that it would be disabled also in Calendars... but unfortunately it doesn't seems to work...
It's a missing feature in Calendars.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Help! I synced my iCal from my old iPhone to iCloud. It worked great. I've done this because I'm switching to a Samsung phone and need to sync my iCal to my Google calendar. In attempting to do so today, my iCal is empty. How can I retrieve my iCal info??

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

Can't import ical dates into iphoto calendar

Hi all,
I'm trying to make an iphoto calendar for a friend and I'm running into a frustrating problelm. My friend emailed me an ical birthday calendar which he would like to have included in the iphoto calendar. I imported the ical calendar into my own ical as a new calendar. I have created my calendar in iphoto but I cannot import these dates into it. When I go to settings and click the calendar tab I am given the option of which ical calendars I would like to import to my calendar. I see two, one is my own normal calendar and the other is the birthday calendar sent to me by my friend. I check the birthday calendar and then click ok and ical appears to be importing the dates but when I look at my calendar the dates have not imported. If I try importing my normal calendar I have no problem. What's going on here??? Please help I am getting really frustrated.

There are many video formats. iPhoto can't read all of them; in fact, it can't read most of them. Here's something that can:
VideoLAN - Download official VLC media player for Mac OS X
On the other hand, the videos are just files. You can copy them anywhere you want in the Finder.

Does iCal have an 'annual calendar' feature, i.e. a yearly planner view

Does iCal have an 'annual calendar' feature, i.e. a yearly planner view?

Hi Ralph. I was testing one for another user, and while I was at it decided to try to restore poor blue elie's missing tail ... Thanks for the concern. I might change into a frog briefly

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. I can get it to sync if my iMac is set to MobileMe calendar, but I cannot get rid of iCal which keeps coming up with an error message.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message.

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found?

Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found? I have my ical calendar synced with my android 2.3.6. They appear to be communicating and then the next time I check they aren't. I just randomly keep getting the error. I would like to sync my Google calendar, iCal and Android 2.3.6 calendar. Thanks for any suggestions!

It is kind of hard to reconstruct what you did exactly and it may be that things have gotten pretty messed up -- it's easy to do that with OSX. For starters, try running Disk Utility. First, verify your hard drive with the repair feature (there are probably four buttons that do 4 different things). If verify checks out okay, repair permissions. Depending upon which ones are messed it it may cure some of them but not all.

How to set iCal as the default calendar app again?

So, reluctantly I bought and installed MS Office 2008 for Mac because OpenOffice was not a solution...
However, now Entourage seems to be set as the standard application to handle ics files, although I clicked yes when iCal asked me if I wanted iCal as my standard calendar app.
Nevertheless, whenever I receive an ics file in Mail (generated by Thunderbird Lightning extension) and I click on the ics file Entourage opens instead of iCal, as it used to be.
Any hints on how to tell Mail or OS X or whoever's responsible, to handle ics files with iCal?
BTW, I already tried downloading the ics file, Open With and selected iCal and "always open with" or however it is called in the English version.

Actually, I don't want to use any third-party app here. This should be possible with built-in OS functionality...
Maybe I have to reboot? But I hoped I'd let that behind together with windows
