ICal continually stops publishing a calendar

I run i-cal on two desktop macs, the iPhone and iPad. For some reason, just since the last update, the group calendar I publish just quits publishing. I have to go say "publish" about 3-4 times a day. Anyone have a clue or the same problem

I checked the iCal setup/preferences and there didn't seem to be much to doublecheck.
The help file was equally unhelpful (make sure you're connected to the Internet -- thanks!).
Checking the MobileMe preferences (one of the suggestions) was also unenlightening.
Dunno. It's not like I was teeming with ideas to being with but I'm out -- other than blame the man.

ICal - Options for publishing a calendar

Dear Apple Community,
I have recently took on a part time job next to my studies and would like to share my calendar with my boss. However, I do not want him to see any titles or notes of events.
I remember that this was possible in an earlier version (see screenshot below, which is actually from the apple website) of iCal but could not find the options in the current version (10.8.4). Google has not yielded any helpful results either.
Would be grateful for any hints
Best,
Max

It depends on what you want to accomplish.
If all clients are Leopard you could use iCal Server and iCal 3.x clients (delegate read access to others), but if you just want to use the same method as in Tiger: Publish and Subscribe, you only need the webserver running with WebDAV access to a shared directory (path) with correct permissions.

Publish Exchange calendar from iCal

I've gotten my Exchange calendar to work with iCal nicely using 10.6. This is great. But:
Is there a way to publish an Exchange calendar that is in iCal? The "Publish" option is grayed out for my Exchange calendars.
I can publish other calendars just fine (after forcing iCal to work in 32 bit mode).
Note that I am not talking about syncing to MobileMe. I know that this is not supported. However, I expected that I could "publish" to a web server, such as the one hosted by MobileMe.
For a while now, I've done this by using Entourage to sync Exchange to iCal. The Entourage calendar can be published to the web. I was really hoping that with 10.6 I could finally stop using Entourage.

I'm having a similar issue. My boss has set up a calendar in exchange that is synced with my iCal, and the appointments do appear, however my personal calendar from exchange is not showing any of my appointments... any ideas?

Can two iCal users edit the same published/shared calendar

Can two iCal users (obviously different mobileMe accounts) edit the same published/shared calendar? I want to have a calendar running which we can both edit remotely but for it to be synced so we both know what each other is doing. Maybe I can share it on my iDisk somehow? I have searched but could not find an answer so I am sorry if this has been covered already !

There is now way to do this using standard MobileMe and iCal. What you could is both share your calendars so that both of you can read each other's calendar.
If you want both to have read-write access to a calendar you will need to use third party software or set up a Google calendar where both of you have read-write access to the calendar.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

Turn Off iCal Publish Gmail Calendar Alert

I have iCal and it is constantly showing a badge icon of 1 and beside my gmail account it shows a "1" instead of the WiFi looking symbol next to the others. Basically gmail wants me to publish my calendar and won't let me turn off this notice and still be able to use the badge notificaiton for other stuff. Not sure how to fix this as I do not want my personal calender published for the world to see. Anyone have any fixes? I have searched on 4 occasions to find and answer and nothing. Finally trying out the forum to see what others may reccomend.

You confused me with your first three words:
"I have iCal ..."
I'm confused because we are in the Mountain Lion forum, and you say you are running Mountain Lion. iCal is not supported on Mountain Lion. It has been replaced by a new Calendar app.

Ical won't publish two different calendars

Hi
Is it possible to publish two separate calendars at once in ICAL to one .mac account? I am a adjunct professor and I teach at two different schools (MCC & ECSU) I have made a separate calendar for each school. I unchecked the ESCU calendar and checked the MCC calendar but when I publish only one only the ECSU calendar is showing up. The MCC calendars won't publish at all. Should I just merge the two and publish both? I'd like them separate because the students will get confused.
Any suggestions?
Jane

Jane,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Is it possible to publish two separate calendars at once in ICAL to one .mac account?
No, "at once" is not possible, but you should be able to publish (one-at-a-time) individual calendars which are displayed in your Calendars source pane.
Each published calendar should have a unique .mac URL address such as:
http://ical.mac.com/yourusername/MCC
http://ical.mac.com/yourusername/ESCU
Checking or unchecking a calendar in the source pane has no bearing on the publish capability, it only adds/removes the calendar from the display window.
You must publish each calendar individually as a separate calendar.

Publish iCal to a new Google calendar account

I recently was assigned a Google email and calendar account for a work group. The email system is administered by the work group and it is not a personal Google account; however, I have a password and login for my email and calendar. How can I publish my iCal account to this Google calendar account and then keep it in sync, so that when I change my iCal appointments, they are updated in the Google calendar?
Thanks for any help you can lend this rookie.

Hello Stephen
In order to change the command timeouts used in Visual Studio 2013 you will need to change the following registry setting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\SQLDB\Database\QueryTimeoutSeconds
You can increase it to 300 (5 min) to see if that helps. You can also set it to 0 (infinite) so it won't time out on the client.
For SSMS and the command line tools, the registry setting is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\SQLDB\Database\QueryTimeoutSeconds

Publishing multiple calendars in iCal

Is there a way to publish multiple calendars in one view. It seems that I can
only view one calendar at a time. I want to be able to overlay all of my calendars
so we all know who's doing what when.
I''m a Mom with two girls with lots of sports activities, I want the girls to be able to view all events in all calendars like I can see on my Mac.
Thanks for any input.
Roberta

Hi Roberta,
You can publish multiple calenders by creating a Calendar Group. Here are some styp-by-step instructions:
- Open the menu 'File' and click the option 'New Calendar Group'.
- Once this new Calendar Group has been created, rename it (for instance to 'Family', 'Sports' or whatever you like).
- After renaming the Calendar Group, add the calendars which you wish to publish.
- FInally... publishing Calendar Group works the same as for single calendars (select the Calender Group and choose from the menu 'Calendar' the option 'Publish').
I hope this works.

ICal will not publish appointments

I am running TIGER 10.4.2 and iCal 2.0.2 and when I publish my calendar not one of the appointment comes up at the weblink it gives me. Any help?
Also should your calendar show up on your .mac page?
Thanks

I just spent a bunch of time with Apple and have solved my similar problem. A week ago, iCal and my iPhone calendar stopped syncing. My assortment of iCal calendars were gone from iCloud, so that was the problem (not phone to iCloud). After much de-selecting and re-selecting, I realized that all my important calendars were @me.com type. I tested the iCloud calendars, and they functioned perfectly. Apple explained a simple way to migrate the @me.com calendars to iCloud:
Create a new iCloud calendar File > New Calendar > iCloud
Name the calender
Right click the old @me.com calendar and choose Export. Desktop is a good destination.
Drag the exported calendar from your desktop to the new iCloud calendar
iCal should show duplicates of all events in the @me.com calendar.
De-select the @me.com calendar. The duplicates will disappear.
Repeat with all the @me.com calendars and abandon this antiquated list.
Rejoice in your shiny new list of iCloud calendars that shows up everywhere it is supposed to.
There must be a lot of people out there who still have @me.com calendars, so I hope this info reaches them before they all spend time and money with Apple trying to sort it out.

How do i publish my calendar?

How do i publish my calendar so I can share with a friend?
I'm using my iPhone 4. He's using a new MBP

Only 'On My Mac' calendars can be published to an ordinary web page: MobileMe calendars can be shared but the viewers will need a CalDav client to view them - iCal is of course one such, or Google Calendar for people with Windows. More details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html
There is an unofficial and probably very dodgy method to publish a MobileMe calendar to a web page, but it depends on a bug in iCal so there's no guarantee it won't stop working at any time (and I don't know whether it works in Lion). Use at your own risk: the method is described here -

ICal has stopped showing events for Sundays only in the month view.

iCal has stopped allowing events to be entered or viewed on Sundays from the Month view. If I double click on a date on the month view, for a Sunday, nothing happens on the screen but if I go to the day view there is a default New Event on the day.
If I enter an event from the day view it does not appear on the Sunday in the month view.
On previous Sundays where events already exist I can add a new event from the month view. If I add an event using google calendar from Chrome it appears on the Sunday and then I can add event from the month view.
This just recently started happening.
I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 with iCal Version 7.0 (1835.1).

dutchlab,
Quit Calendar, then try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library, and open the Preferences Folder. Drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check Calendar for functionality.

Can another calendars events be integrated into a published web calendar?

Apologies in advance for my general ignorance about iCal. I am just starting to venture into the program.
I am the web coordinator for a nonprofit group, and am intending to use iCal to publish a web calendar for our site. I have subscribed to the US Holidays calendar, and am wondering if there is any way to get the holidays to show up in my group's published calendar (i.e. I want holidays on the web calendar, but don't want to have to plug them in myself). It is obvious how to integrate the calendars within the application -- just not sure if there's a way to make events from other calendars integrate into the published web calendar.
Sorry about the redundancy -- just want to be clear.
Also, is there anyway to embed these calendars into a web page.
TIA,
mel

mel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Just create a new Calendar Group, name it "Publish" for example, and drag the U.S. Holidays into that group.
The following information is taken from iCal Help.
1. Choose File > New Calendar Group, or hold down the Shift key while clicking the Add + button in the lower-left corner of the iCal window, and then type a name for the group.
2. Add existing calendars to the group by dragging them under the group name, or select the group name and choose File > New Calendar to create a new calendar within the group.
3. Remove calendars from the group by dragging them out of the list.
You should be able to embed a link to the calendar in a web page, but I do not know how to provide a direct display of that calendar.
;~)

Publish ics calendar to icloud NOT MobileMe

I downloaded an ics file and imported it to iCal. I want to publish it to iCloud so I can see it on all my devices but the only option I have on iCal is to publish it to MobileMe (or a private server) but there is no option for iCloud. I used to have MobileMe but iCloud now syncs my calendars and has done it ever since it was released months ago. This is the same issue on both of my Macs.

According to your signature you are running Leopard: is this correct? You need Lion to work with iCloud - you won't be able to do anything with Leopard.

How do I get ical to stop popping up every time someone accepts an invitation

How do I get ical to stop popping up every time someone accepts an invitation?
Every time I get an someone accepts and ical invitation, the iCal app pops up over everything on my screen. I cannot find a way to turn off this behavior and it's amazingly disruptive.
I do still want to be notified about up-coming meetings, and I still want invitations emailed to me to populate in my calendar, and I still want ical to capture if people have responded to my events…I just don’t want my calendar to take over my screen every time they do.
There does not seem to be anything in preferences that addresses this.
HELP!

This infuriates me too - I am really keen to find an answer to this! The notifications that appear 'Growl-like' in the top right corner are fine, it's the fact that iCal takes over the entire desktop and prevents me from working that really annoys me! Please, how do I turn that off?
