Ical and finding shared calendars

Ical is working fine on my emac with 10.4.7 OSX
except for the following:
When I try to download a shared calendar for on the "search shared calendar"such as the ACT testing calendar it pops up as an error stating iCal is not installed. Safari can’t open “webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/ACT.ics” because iCal is not installed. Well it is installed because we manage 3 calendars every day - I guess something is note installed poperly. Please help!

I'm not optimistic about the preferences file solving this problem, but the preferences folder lives in your Library folder (~/Library).  You can get to it by opening a Finder window, then in the Menu bar, choose "Go > Library" while holding the option key.  The Finder window should now show your user Library folder.  Go to the Preferences folder and find the file com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist and delete it.
Disclaimer: Although deleting preferences files is usually harmless, please make sure you have backed up your computer before you do this, as I'm not responsible if doing so causes problems. 
If none of this works, you could send feedback to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html (ironically, still labeled iCal)
or here:

or both!

  • ICal holidays missing - Find Shared Calendars menu item broken

    In iCal, Calendar menu, Find Shared Calendars...
    This menu item takes you to a broken (as of today) link:
    http://www.apple.com/ical/library/

    When clicking "Find Shared Calendars...," Leopard OS system sends IP packets to nwk-www.apple.com, 17.149.160.10.
    ・Source IP Address (private): 192.168.1.2
    ・Destination IP Address: 17.149.160.10 at the beginning of the session for "Find Shared Calendars..." procedure.
    Leopard 10.5.1 sends a DNS query to connect 128.241.220.87 that is NTT America. Communications between Leopard and NTT America go for a while. So is Omniture's server followed. Some unique user's information is transmitted on all the servers communication.
    Leopard queries DNS server (208.67.2222.222 which I set for Leopard) for metrics.apple.com (this seems to be a server for iTunes Store). What the deuce Leopard needs to call iTunes Store at the phase of finding iCal sharing calendar?
    Besides, I have not been purchased any products from iTunes Store for years.
    Actually, NTT America has been attempting odd access behaviors to my nodes for the recent few years before the business with Apple started whenever the hacker (I have been tracking him for three years.) is right behind me.
    Now NTT America 128.241.220.87 replies to Leopard with the ACK (TCP Acknowledgement flag) bit. Next, nwk-www.apple.com (17.149.160.10) also sends Leopard a ACK bit simultaneously. Leopard answers it with the ACK. Now the DNS server replies the ten host addresses to the query of metrics.apple.com: appleglobal.112.2o7.net, 66.151.152.125, 66.151.152.126, 66.151.152.143, 128.241.21.13, 128.241.21.14, 128.241.21.15, 128.241.21.146, 128.241.21.149 and 128.241.21.163.
    66.151.152.xxx = Omniture, Inc that provides web analytics solutions for internet channel monitoring. They operates the 2o7.net domains. For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omniture
    128.241.21.xxx = NTT America, Inc. (http://www.nttamerica.com/products/index.php)
    At the last session, Leopard queries "wsidecar.apple.com," but strangely the DNS server answer the canonical address which is "wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net" with its address 17.149.160.15 but not DNS registered address 17.112.152.39.
    17.149.160.15 (Apple's server but not 17.149.160.10) sends Leopard a FIN/ACK bit which means the TCP connection is closed by the server ONE-SIDEDLY despite Leopard answers to 17.149.160.15 with the acknowledgement to get ready for the US calendar sync data download start.
    Here is a nslookup wsidecar.apple.com:
    $ nslookup
    wsidecar.apple.com
    Server: 208.67.222.222
    Address: 208.67.222.222#53
    Non-authoritative answer:
    wsidecar.apple.com canonical name = wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net.
    Name: wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net
    Address: 17.112.152.39
    CONCLUSION: There are a few inconsistencies on TCP/IP communications.
    My computer: Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 GHz/5GB DDR SDRAM
    OS: Mac OS X 10.5.1 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 for dual boot.

  • Can iCal and Outlook share calendars with each other?

    Can you iCal and Outlook share calendars with each other?

    Because Apple has chosen to not make this a feature of iOS devices.

  • Exchange 2007 Powershell command to find shared calendars? Migration 2013 prep.

    I'm attempting to clean up my AD and Exchange mailboxes ( for a migration to 365) but I've run into a snag. It turns out that I have a number of departments that are using shared calendars that were created and shared by former employees.
    Environment:  Server 2008R2, Exchange 2007, Outlook 2010.
    Most of these calendars were not created as rooms, or in a public storage container like 2000 used to use.  They are all end user created, shared and stored.
    The problem is I can't delete a lot of these inactive user accounts because of these shared calendars.  I want/need to find ALL of them (meaning any user account with a shared calendar), export them and move them to a room so I don't
    have to worry about personnel changes anymore.
    Is there a way to find all of these shared resources (calendars) in PowerShell??  I can't really ask my end users.  Many of them still think "deleted items" is a storage compartment.

    Try this command to list-out the calendar permission of users :
    Get-MailboxFolderPermission <mailbox>:\Calendar
    You can use DSQuery command to remove inactive users in active directory : http://portal.sivarajan.com/2010/03/delete-stale-or-inactive-computer.html
    You can also have a look at this technet blog that describes in depth to remove inactive AD users: http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/11/30/use-powershell-to-find-and-remove-inactive-active-directory-users.aspx
    Further, to accomplish this task automatically, you can take a look to this proficient application also (http://www.lepide.com/active-directory-cleaner/) that would be a good approach in order
    to find out and cleanup inactive users in active directory in a quick attempt.

  • HT204150 I mistakenly deleted my calendar and my shared calendars from my I pad. Is there any way to bring the data back

    I mistakenly deleted all y calendar entries. And shared calendar eateries.  How can I get this data back onto my iPad

    If you've been making backups to icloud, then you should perform a restore to the ipad, unless you had the data on a computer, in which case you could try to restore the calendar file from a backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • ICal and Entourage Sharing

    I've noticed that in Entourage the Address Book in the program is the same as in the Apple Address Book. However, when I add an item to the calendar in Entourage, it is not displayed in iCal or vice-versa. Is this possible? If not, why would one be synched with one another and not another program? Thanks!

    Went to Entourage and setup Sync Services in effort to have iCal and Entourage talk to each other, vice versa. iCal will recognize changes in Entourage, but Entourage will not take /recognize changes in iCal. What am I doing wrong?

  • Can I the same alert sound be used in iCal and on iPhone calendar apps?

    Maybe I'm getting old and having a plethora of blips and bleeps going off all day is making me wonky, but it's begun to drive me mad that iCal on my MacBook Pro and Calendar on my iPhone use, by default, completely different sets of alert tones.  I'm trying to, which I realize may be a futile endeavor (of which, if you have certainty, please don't hesitate to pipe up.), get as many sounds as possible in like programs to be the same.  I think it would solve every problem in life (yes. every. single. one.) if I was able to hear my computer blip from the other room, my iPhone blip while pedaling thru traffic and know "a-hah, I need to check my Calendar to see what's up!" rather than "was that 'whistle' a Calendar reminder or a Reminder reminder?... oohhh I can't remember", because my simple brain has been Pavlovianly trained to associate that single sound with one meaning only.  This, to me, sounds far more pleasurable than some syntho-digital cacophany resulting from each app and application vying for it's own unique style and the resultant uncertainty over whether or not I need pay attention or note to myself to later just turn the sound off. Thanks & enjoy your waffles! 

    To wjosten: I never said I work for Apple I work part time as a privet contractor time to time for a military Apple reseller in Europe and feelance. An I know for a FACT! that if you bring ANY Apple product to ANY Apple certified service center in Europe they WILL honor the warranty as long as the warranty is valet and even recalls.
    But hey...it is cool if you don't believe me, my money still keeps rolling in .
    And if anyone would like information on Apple warranty out side of the USA. Just go online to https://locate.apple.com/country and look up your destination country "certified service center" that you will vist and just give them a call. They will answer any question that you have. It's that eazy....

  • ISync'ing events to ical and then changing calendar

    i put my work scedule into my phone (sony ericsson k750i), when entering the shift times i put them into the phones calendar with the title as "Starbucks" (ie, where i work). then when i go home i iSync them into iCal. however, then i have to click each one manually and move it from my "Home" calendar to my "Work" calendar - which is a bit of a *****.
    is there a rule function or some way i can do this automatically

    Hi
    Regarding the Sony Ericcson 750i....i see that you gotthe iCal synch working. I just upgraded from the 700 which was a breeze and no problem , HOWEVER the 750i has done everything EXCEPT iCal which I thought was strange. Is tehre something I am not doing? My events are in my iCal until April 2006 but they just dont import - numbers and addresses all easily ported over.
    Any help would be appreciated
    cheers

  • ICal and iPhone's calendar are off by 1 hour

    Anyone else have this problem? The calendar on my computer is fine, but the one on my iphone is 1 hour off...

    Just a thought - have you got both machines set for the same Time Zone?
    iPhone - Settings : Date and Time : Time Zone
    also, check the Calendar setting lower down.
    Then check your MacBook's time zone setting too

  • ICal and iCloud Calendar Appointments Problems Following Daylight Savings Time Change

    This morning following the daylight savings time change, I noticed that some but not all of my appointments had shifted forward an hour. Strangely enough, some are correct on the iCloud calendar but are still not correct in iCal. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Here's another anomaly: the info panel is showing the correct time while the calendar view is not! I have turned off time zone support in both iCal and the iCloud calendar. It's so frustrating when you rely on these tools--especially for appointments--and you find that you can't trust them to be accurate!

    samdale67,
    Have you had any luck fixing this problem yet?
    I just noticed today that my iCloud calendar is consistently one hour behind my iPhone4s calendar. It's as if my iCloud calendar never got the Daylight Savings Time Spring Forward message. The iPhone, on the other hand, updated to DST right on schedule. It's annoying because I'm starting to use my iCloud calendar and would like the time change to be applied.

  • Cancelled (detached) events showing on shared calendar - help!

    I can't figure out how to remove cancelled events from showing in iCal on a shared calendar. We use Zimbra for mail, etc. I subscribe to my boss' calendar and it is showing his cancelled (detached) events. They do not show in his iCal on his computer and they don't show in Zimbra. They only show in my iCal. I've looking in every preference I can find....I've tried un-subscribing to the calendar and then re-subscribing. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas??

    Consequently........it only seems to happen with recurring events we migrated from Microsoft Exchange. I cannot replicate it with a new appointment. I would still, however, like to be able to remove ones that are currently here. Since, they are recurring, they do show in the future, as well.

  • I'm new to iCal and I have question

    Hi,
    How do you subscribed to a sports schedule? I'm sure it's simple to add, but I can't figure it out
    Thanks!

    James,
    You are correct, it is simple to add a subscribed calendar.
    iCal Menu>Calendar>Find Shared Calendars (Choose more...) for an expanded selection. If the team/sport that you want is not there you can go to iCalShare for a plethora of choices.
    After you find the one that you want, just click on it and iCal will offer you a Subscribe to: window.

  • Does anyone here access a shared calendar with their Blackberry???

    I work for a very large company and I don't use my personal calendar. I use a calendar on a shared mailbox where several people enter appointments I need to attend. So far I have not been able to get a hold of anyone in our IT department who knows if it is possible to have my Blackberry synchronize with the shared calendar instead of my personal calendar. Surely other people must access a shared calendar with their BB. Doesn't seem like such an unusual thing to need to do. On my laptop I have access to both my personal and the shared calendar in Outlook. We run an Exchange Server and that is about the extent of info I have. 

    If she has been syncing her phone with iTunes she could restore her phone to her last backup.  This will revert the settings and data on her phone to those contained in the backup (losing more recent information).  You should probably unshare your iCloud calendar with her before beginning to avoid the possiblility of her restored calendar replacing yours.  Then, before connecting her phone, open iTunes on the computer she syncs with, go to Preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Next, connect her phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Restore from Backup, taking care to choose her backup to restore from and not yours.  If this restores her calendar she should give it a unique name before trying to share your iCloud calenadar again.
    If she syncs her calendar with a supported application on her computer (such as Outlook) another option would be to replace her iPhone calendar with the calendar on her computer by checking to do so on the Info tab of her iTunes sync settings (under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendars), apply and sync.

  • Need help syncing iCal and Outlook 2011 (for Mac) THANKS!

    QUESTION: How do I sync iCal and Outlook up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    I just bought an iPhone. I am trying to get my phone and my MacBook Pro synced up through iCloud.
    I realize that I need to have Outlook 2011 and iCal set up for syncing for this to work.
    I did this at one point, and it resulted in all of my ALL DAY appointments being duplicated in Outlook, iCal, and on the calendar on my phone - and iCloud sending out duplicate invitations to events.
    Then, I turned syncing between iCal and Outlook and deleted all of the duplicates in my Outlook.
    Of course, because I haven't set up Outlook to sync with iCal, iCal and my phone's calendar have not changed. There are still duplicates there.
    How do I sync them up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can be!
    Cheers!

    My iPhone 4 was working fine, synched with Outlook 2011 on my iMac 11.02 through iTunes. Calendar changes also appeared in iCal, even though I don't use iCal - I only use Outlook. Last week I was prompted to update Outlook, which I did successfully. Today, I plugged the iPhone into the iMac to synch and suddenly all Calendar and Contact items are gone from the iPhone and in iCal on the iMac. In iTunes, the option to synch with Outlook in the Info tab ("other") is greyed out. What happened? Why can't I synch the iPhone anymore with Outlook? All the Calendar and Contact info is still on the iMac in Outlook. Help!
