ICal and webDAV?

Good morning group. Maybe this is not possible on OS-X Server but I presume it is?
Can I Publish web representations from iCal using my server to display a web page that is not modifiable? Are there any easy to follow instructions some where?
I would like to have a real time calendar page show up for employees to see schedules and events but not be modifiable?

Hi,
From what I have read and observed iCal as a client app does not seemlessly work with the web group calendar service which is part of the twisted python app for the groupware.
The web group calendar can be set up and access controlled via WGM or Directory.app. All viewers of the web calendar page will be able to see events on the calendar but unless granted permission, will not be able to add or modify events on the calendar.
I have several web groups that restrict editing to only members of each group on their respective pages, but allow members of any of these groups to view the pages on all the groups. A group member can add/change an event on their group calendar but members from other groups can view the events on any group calendar.
AFAIK, there is no way to consolidate the calendars to a summary calendar display.
HTH,
Harry

ICal on Webdav

I just set up a published calendar using iCal and webdav.
I want other users to be able to make changes to the calendar besides the owner/author. Is this possible? How do I give permissions to other users to make changes on my calendar?
Thanks,
Andy

Other users can't make changes in this version of iCal. Still looking for a loop-hole around this problem. I can't afford to upgrade!

WebDAV for iCal and Authorization header errors?

I have OS X 10.5.8 Server running Web services/WebDAV for hosting internal .ics files for iCal calendar publishing. Everything seems to be working fine but whenever a user opens iCal and their subscribed calendars refresh, I see the following errors in the WebServer error_log:

Does anyone know why these errors are being generated/how I can resolve this?

why don't you look at these two links:
http://www.busymac.com
http://www.spanningsync.com
i use spanning sync to sync ical on two macs with google calendar. works quite well and i can access/manage my calendars on either my mcas or on the web. busysync from busymac will achieve the same thing.
hope this helps

ICal and Addressbook connecting to eGroupware - various bugs?

Hi all,
given CalDAV and CardDAV as standardized protocols, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to connect to private calendar and addressbook servers, you'd think... For some year's I'm running a eGroupware server, and while this product is far from being bug free, I believe it's basically massive bugs in Apple's Ca*DAV protocols that keep the synchronization from working. Let's start with iCal:
Originally, eGroupware's CalDAV implementation returned fully qualified URIs (like https://www.example.com/egroupware/calendar/) for all kinds of properties, e.g. calendar-home-set. As a result, iCal sent requests with the path //www.example.com/egroupware/calendar - i.e. instead of properly parsing the URI, it just stripped off the protocoll indicator and tried to treat the remaining string as a path.
As the CalDAV standard doesn't make any hint if URIs should be supplied as fully qualified or relative URIs, returning full URIs seems to be the safer bet, and iCal's reaction on this is IMHO as clearly a bug as it can be. Nevertheless, I patched eGroupware to supply relative URIs, and hey ho, iCal integrates fine with eGroupware now. By the way, eGroupware has some hard coded behaviour to supply only the events of one month back by default, but you can patch that behaviour as well, of course.
Now to Addressbook, and that's where I'm beyond my wits First of all, it is not possible to configure a CardDAV server in Addressbook itself, as the GUI is massively broken (just try to setup a CardDAV server https://www.example.com/egroupware/addressbook/ and you'll end up with a configured URL https://www.exmaple.com:443/egroupware/addressbook/:443<null> or something even more broken. You need to edit the file "Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/78E03291-22C9-4E27-9852-8480AD6A0F03/Configuration. plist" manually.
Now, still Addressbook sends a PROPFIND requst for current-user-privilege-set to /directory/ to the server. Don't know what kind of result the programmers expected from this, but on my CalDAV server nothing at all resides under that path, also it's not mentioned in the CalDAV as a general concept. After it got a 405 Method Not Allowed to this request, Addressbook continues sending more sensible requests, so it might not be an actual problem - I'm not sure.
Next is a PROPFIND query for addressbook-home-set to /egroupware/groupdav.php/addressbook/ wich is a perfectly expected behaviour from the standard. But first, the server replies with 401 Unauthorized. Addressbook then repeats the request, this time including the correct HTTP BASIC authentication information. Now, the server tries its best to handle this request according to standards. I quote the full response here, perhaps some pro spots a mistake in the response I'm to dumb to see:

</D:prop>
<D:status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</D:status>
</D:propstat>
</D:response>
</D:multistatus>
I read the CardDAV RFC over and over again, but this seems to be as correct a response as you could wish. Note: out of the box eGroupware doesn't generate the D:href sub-element to ns1:addressbook-home-set but directly puts the URI as content of that element. This is not correct according to the CardDAV standard, but iCal is ignoring exactly the same mistake of the CalDAV implementation of eGroupware. It doesn't make a difference for Addressbook either - both variants lead to the error message 'Von CardDAV-Server Fehler (207) für den Benutzer "xxx" erhalten.' This is a strange message to show, as 207 is not an error code. Of course I patched eGroupware to return 200 OK as HTTP status (contradicting the standard), and hey ho, in Konsole you'll see an error message stating "Expected multi-status response but got status code: 200".
So - Addressbook actually expects and checks for 207 Multi-Status, i.e. the message on the GUI is giving us no indication on the actual problem. Some easy checks proved that Addressbook wouldn't react any different if the server replies with plain nonsense (e.g. syntax errors in the XML file). So, obviously, Addressbook can't cope with an aspect of the response it gets, fails to generate any log or message box about the problem, and sets a misleading error indication on the GUI.
And now? Does anybody have a good hint what could Addressbook make work here? When can fixes to iCal and Addressbook realistically be expected, if at all?

ICal and PHP iCalendar Issue/Conflict

I'm currently using iCal 2.0.4 and I'm trying to publish some calendars to my private server using PHP iCalendar. I have it all set up and I can get it working, but I am running into one specific problem:
The minimum permissions needed for this whole scheme to work is 644 (rw-r--r--). However, whenever iCal updates the calendar to my WebDAV directory, it changes the permissions of the calendar to 640 (rw-r-----), completely breaking PHP iCalendar. Because the directory that iCal is uploading the published calendar to is WebDAV, I can't edit the permissions unless I turn WebDAV off, edit the permissions, then turn WebDAV back on. Quite annoying everytime I update a calendar.
Has anyone figured out a way around this? It seems like a problem with iCal and not PHP iCalendar (even though apparently Sunbird is having the same issue now).
On a side note: Does anyone know of any web calendars that iCal can upload to that don't look like complete garbage other than PHP iCalendar?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm sorry I don't have an answer, you may also want to take a look at the phpicalendar forum http://phpicalendar.net/forums .

Linking multiple emails to a single event in ical and/or to do's

Hi:
Often I receive emails and I want to link them to an event in ical. OS X does this just fine as long as there is date in the email that OS X can recognize. The problem is sometimes I get multiple emails relating to the same event and I would like to be able to link all of those emails to one single event in ical. My same questions applies to 'to do' items.
And a follow up question--say I receive an email that has no date explicit in the text-I've tried to find some function that would allow me to schedule a new event in ical and would link that email to it. (I hope that all makes sense) I'm open to whatever solution I'll even pay money for 3rd party software if anyone knows of a good program. But I"m looking to stick to the basic ical interface. Any suggestions?

Hi rtwigg,
seems this is one of visio graphics limitation regarding the external data.
visio graphics, may only support for one row.
you may consider this idea :
"It is a good idea to separate your rows into visual units so that you have everything you need and nothing else in a single row. To link a shape to a data row, simply drag the row from the external data window and drop it on the shape. A default data
graphic should immediately appear next to the shape displaying some data from the row. From here you are able to customize the graphic to fit your needs"
by means, you may need to use the visio client.

Need help trying to have more than one delegate calendar display in iCal and on mobile devices

I have several calendars that are under my user name in Google. They all work as delegates and life is good.
I'm trying to set up the local school with a calendar for the sports schedule as well as a separate one for district events like school board meetings and would like to be able to add one for the holidays, exams and things of that nature. The sports calendar works but I can't figure out how to add the second caledar to iCal or my iPhone. It shows shared but doesn't appear as a possible delegate in iCal and will not load on the iPhone.
Google has the output to allow more than one calendar to display on a website but syncing at the level I want with the "i" apps isn't obvious.
Am I missing something? I really don't want one very cluttered master calendar for the school. Being able to turn on and off the various types of calendar will make it much easier to manage.

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes?

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes? In the past, I have used Outlook calendar and tasks and I was able to expand the windows which allowed me to put a great amount of details into either the notes section in events and tasks. It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

Outlook 2011 no longer syncing with iCal and contacts

I have installed Yosemite recently on my Macbook Pro. I run MS Outlook 2011 for professional reasons. Until now, syncing with my Android phone worked (almost) fine, using a nice app called SyncMate. For a few days now (not sure it is linked to installing Yosemite though) new data on my outlook calendar and address book no longer appear on my phone after syncing. After checking I realized that Outlook is actually not syncing any more with iCal and Contacts, so of course the syncing with the phone cannot work. How can I resolve this ?

facing the same problem, it was syncing prior to my upgrade to Lion. have you managed to find a solution?

How to restore iCal and Address Book from my iPod mini.

I used to back-up my iCal and Address Book to both my Nokia phone and my iPod mini twice a day. then over Christmas my laptop hard drive and my phone both broke within 2 days of each other. Ouch! My only copy of my addresses and diary are now on the iPod. I could spend days reading the data and type it into to computer manually, but there has to be a way to do it automatically. *Mustn't there?*

Similar problem here,
I have a month-old archived version of my AddressBook, but today my entire rolodex vanished when the program froze and I force quit. I have a much more recent update on my ipod and have made significant additions/editions in the past month. Can I retrieve all that data from my iPod??
Help!

I added a reminder in iCal and it froze up. The error message is:The server responded with an error.

I added a reminder in iCal and it froze up. The error message I am receiving is:The server responded with an error. The application then locks up and I can't find out how to resolve the issue.

Check the parameters in your email account against what is recommended by your email provider.

Have you contacted the support contact at your email provider?

How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi acs4055,
As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this, actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query. But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.

How to get rid of automatically created server accounts in iCal and Mail?

I have recently setup an OS X 10.6.2 Server for our small office. I got the domain name wrong in the initial install and fixed this by doing a complete clean reinstall of OS X 10.6 server (then upgrade to 10.6.2).
The problem is that one of the OS X 10.6.2 clients had been setup to talk to the server prior to the rebuild. Now on this client, I cannot work out how to get rid of or change the automatically created server accounts in iCal and Mail - everytime you login, these are recreated using the old domain name (and of course don't work).
In Mail if you remove the server account (from Accounts in Preferences), it just pops back again. I even removed every trace of the old domain name from the apple.com.mail.plist file but when I re-open Mail that darned server account (with the old domain name) just pops up again.
In iCal its slightly different in that you can remove the account and it stays away while you have iCal open. But as soon as you close and re-open it, that server account just pops up again!
I thought it might be something to do with Kerberos and found a Kerberos file on the client which had the old domain name throughout it - I changed all these references to the new domain name, but still the same behaviour in Mail and iCal.
This is doing my head in. Any ideas?

ICal and multiple iMac users w/ iPhones

We have three user accounts on one iMac. Each user has an iPhone. One iCal account has new appointments made on the iMac, but these entries *do not sync to the iPhone.*
I have been through the documentation and cannot figure out why it does not synch.
Any advice?! Thanks

The good and bad news is that I have the answer to my one question.
If you stumble upon this item the answer is that the INFO tab on iTunes when you are syncing has the options for syncing iCal and Address book. Check the right boxes and all should be well.

Recommendations for interface problems in ical and mail?

Generally my impressions of 10.7 are positive... the full screen views are great and navigating among screens is super easy. It makes the screen on my 11" MacBook Air feel much larger.
But there are two major steps backwards in the two apps I use most: mail.app and iCal.
mail.app 5.0 - In mail.app 4.0 when a thread was selected, the /closed/ thread items would appear in the message browser. In mail.app 5.0, it is only possible to "preview" the a thread if you click on the small number adjacent to the thread in the preview pane. This previews the content of the thread, but does not mark the messages as "unread".
However, if you miss that little number icon (and accidentally click on the thread itself) the messages open in the message pane and they are marked as "read" automatically. So, this means that if I delete a message above a thread that contains unread messages, that thread becomes selected immediately and the messages are marked as "read" (even though I did not read them).
This makes it almost impossible for me to prioritize my email, I miss important emails because they're marked as "read", and I'm constantly hitting command+shift+U as I gingerly navigate my inbox.
iCal 5.0 - in iCal 4.0 there was a left pane that allowed users to select calendars /and/ see a simple "month preview". These were two very useful features, which allowed me to turn on and off calendars with a single click and see how upcoming weeks/months looked. In ical 5.0 there is no simple month view option (nor can one see two or more months simultaneously except in the cluttered "year" view).
Am I missing some buried setting that will return the 4.0 features I'm missing? Are there any suggestions (other than switching to other software) that folks can recommend?

I completely agree. The conversations view in Lion Mail is pretty confusing and the whole read vs unread thing doesn't really work well. And the Unread smart mailbox doesnt update in real time anymore. But the bigger issue is iCal, which in my opinion is a total disaster. I am really shocked and angry at how bad iCal and the Address Book are. These are crucial apps and Apple has just thrown us a steaming pile. After all these years these apps should be beautiful shining examples of great software.
