ICal event export problem

I choose to take my Mac to work, as I am constantly threatened with the idea that my employers would prefer it if I used windows, so I have created a new account on my MBP for work, it works well, apart from the fact that I cannot get iCal in my work account to export events back to my home file (via a shared file). Anyone have a clue how to do this?
Cheers.
Tom

FWIW, after playing about a bit, I found that I could export to the desktop but not a shared file/disk. Permissions I guess?
Looks like I've answered my own question!

ICal events sync problem

Hi,
I am using Leopard 10.5.1 on my Mac Mini and am adding events and alarms in iCal but they dont get uploaded on my iPhone when I sync it in iTunes.
If it makes any difference, all my calenders were originally created created in Tiger.
Can anyone help?

I'm having the same problem. Whenever I create a new event in iCal it will not sync to my iPhone. No solution yet except to use the calendar in Entourage instead; those events will sync without any problem. This started with I upgraded to Leopard.

I can´t sync iCal events written in the iphone4 to the macbook ical, but conversely from macbook to iphone there´s no problem, can somebody help me?

Thanks for your answer! I tried as you say, erase the Sync History, but now does not sync any calendar, only displays the birthday ...do not know whatelse to try.

Problem Adding iCal Events Received via Email (used to work fine)

My wife and I share iCal calendar events between our Mac's via email. A month or so ago I started getting this error when clicking on the link that comes with the iCal event email:
"This calendar file is empty. No new events have been added to your iCal calendars."
We are both on Intel Powermacs running OS 10.4.11 and have the same version of iCal (2.0.5). I can still email her iCal events and she can add them to her calendar just fine. But anything she sends me gives me this error.
Help?

Travis,
I had the exact same problem (with my wife's iCal account to boot ). The solution lies in the "(null) informs you..." It turns out that iCal looks at your personal address card to figure out who you are when populating the email. So, if don't have the email address you are sending FROM listed under your address book entry, then the notice is from NULL.
I added my wife's email accounts to her address book entry on her machine (sorry for the bolds, but the details count.) Then I tried sending a calendar event from her iCal to me. This time it populated with her name and it added to my calendar just fine when I received the email.
I hope this solution works for you (it drove me crazy for about two weeks.)

Problem with iCal events after waking from sleep mode

I have a daily iCal reminder that starts playing a playlist in iTunes at 6:00 am. However, if I leave the computer in sleep mode at night, and then manually wake the computer (BEFORE 6:00 am), the iCal event won't play on time...it's delayed 20-30 minutes. Any ideas why?

Have you tried it with a different mouse? I'm no expert, but you might want to find out, if the problem is mouse-specific.

Exported/emailed iCal event failed to install

I recently experimented with exporting an iCal event and then attaching its file to an email. I mailed a copy to myself to see how it would look on and work with a recipient's machine.
When I received the email, I double-clicked on the attached iCal file icon. Instead of simply importing into my calendar, the application went "wild", spewing out a lengthy series of error messages that made no sense to me, except to consistently refer to my various calendars that I maintain as iCloud accounts. The material result of dismissing these error messages was to add duplicate events ad nausem to my iCal calendar, wreaking havoc.
This serial process continued until I closed iCal, went to iCloud on my System Preferences and removed all of my iCloud calendar accounts.Then, I turned iCloud back on and all of the current calendars reinstalled themselves without the errant duplicates and without further mischief.
Can anyone tell me what is going on.
I am running Lion OSX 10.7.5 on my iMac.

Hi Russell,
What’s the situation now?
There would be a cause that the upgrade is running background, so a retry would fail in this situation.
You can check the action log in C:\$Windows.~BT\source\panther\setupact.log
Check the time line to see if it is running for upgrade.

Problem creating iCal Events from Mail in Leopard

The new function that allows the user to create iCal events from Mail messages is quite impressive and very useful. Unfortunately the data detectors seem to have trouble with certain commonplace date formats. While the detector recognises the date, it cannot activate an event in iCal. For instance the data detector will pick up the dates in these formats and create iCal events:
30 October 2007
30 Oct 07
30/10/07
but not in this format:
30-Oct-07
In the latter case, the data detector recognises it is a date, produces the drop menu, but will not carry through and create an event to iCal. It's annoying in that many companies use the latter format in their communications. Any workaround?

There is another problem I have found.
I have my computer set in international settings formats to show the date in the "English format"
January 4th 2007 is 4/1, however an entry in mail 4/1 is put into iCal on the first of April!
I found this out after looking for a meeting I knew I had put in for next week.
beware, can this bug be fixed?

IOS 5 iPhone duplicating some calendar events when iCal events on iMac have no duplicates

I've searched in vain on these forums but can't find a problem quite like mine. I am running
- iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1
- iMac with Lion OS X 10.7.2
I was using iCloud for all my calendars but found that my phone battery was draining very quickly, so decided to go back to using the iMac to sync to all devices. I exported all my calendars (seven of them) from iCloud through iCal/File/Export/Export, and then imported them as new calendars. I deleted my iCloud account on my phone and iCal. I then synced from iMac to iPhone and all went perfectly, except for my primary calendar (typical...).
All events for all calendars appear perfectly in iCal on the iMac. But my primary calendar, on my iPhone only, has duplicated nearly all the events in it. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to those events that AREN'T duplicated - some are annual, all-day recurrences, some are one-offs.
I've tried deleting the cache and the plist from the iMac library (even though, yes, the iMac iCal appears to be working perfectly), then resetting the iPhone, and resyncing - using the 'replace information on this iPhone' option for Calendars. No luck. I've tried re-exporting the calendar from iCloud, then re-importing, then resyncing to the iPhone. Each time it duplicates on the iPhone, but not on the iMac.
Weird - and this is driving me mental.
I'm guessing the calendar might be corrupted or something - is there an equivalent plist or something that I can try deleting from the iPhone? This has gotten beyond my skills!
Pleeeeaaaassssee heeeelp!

Update:
I ended up going through the duplicate entries on the iPhone and manually deleting the second entry in each instance. I re-synced to iMac, and the duplicate entries stayed deleted, and nothing appears changed on the iMac calendars.
I then synced iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 to iMac, doing the same process with the calendars. I noticed that I had missed one duplicated entry on my iPhone originally, and that this had transferred to each of the other machines too (ie they all had two identical entries for the same thing) (but not on the iMac, still). Deleted the second of the duplicates again on the iPhone, synced everything, and it was gone from all.
So all in all, not a brilliant fix, but a successful one nonetheless - although it remains to be seen whether the duplicates will reappear at some point, as I've noticed other users have had that problem in some circumstances. I'd love to hear if anyone has any brilliant thoughts regarding this, though.

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone.

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone. It does not have the edit button at the top of the screen.
The event does not show up in iCal on my Mac or on my iCloud.
One of these is a reoccuring event.

The only other thing I can think of is to try deleting the entire calendar from your iPhone and then sync your iCal calendar to your phone again. This needs to be done carefully. I would begin by backing up your iCal calendar on your mac for safekeeping by opening iCal, then going to File>Export>Export, save this on your desktop. Then do the following:
On your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn Calendars to Off. You should get a prompt asking you whether to keep or remove the calendar data from your phone. Choose to remove it.
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to iTunes>Preferences, go to the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing".
Now connect your phone and, as before, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings. Confirm that you have checked to Sync Calendars with iCal, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone check Calendars, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
This should transfer your iCal calendar to your iPhone, hopefully this time without the problem event. Check your phone to confirm that this was successful, then you can then go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.

ICal events window

The background on the events window is black, making editing quite difficult. Where do you select preferences for this?

This issue has been addressed in at least nine topics without a solution: Blacked out dock icon & more (4 Aug 08), iCal Misfunctions (19 Jul 08), Get Info Background Color Problem (19 Jul 08), ICAL colors (19 Jun 08); iCal looking messed up (17 May 08), iCal Events window (22 Mar 08), Event Info Box Reversed (17 Feb 08 - archived), ical inspector screen is black... (29 Jan 08 - archived), iCal info windows are black (8 Nov 07 - archived).
This thread has the most posts.
My symptoms:
- The event info window (double click on an event and the details pop up) has a black background making the entries unreadable until I click on the fields.
- iCal opens with Home calendar checked (my only calendar), but the calendar is empty until I uncheck it and recheck it and then the events show up.
- New calendars do not show until the application is relaunched. (Same with calendar deletions.)
- Icons are missing...for example, the Thumb Tack icon on the button to open and close the To Do drawer.
- Transparent, nearly in visible, iCal icon in the Dock.
I trashed all the iCal related .plists, caches, and even the program; replaced the calendar - exported and reimported it; reinstalled the iCal program using the original Leopard disk; reinstalled update 10.5.4 - both combo and single versions several times; did all the above in various sequences.
One of the 10.5.4 re-installations fixed the transparent Dock icon.
The Console log captures between 150 and 300 entries when I launch iCal - indicating that a lot of images aren't loading right - which would seem to correlate with the symptoms. (Excerpt below).
I would appreciate any ideas for a fix.
cheers,
emil

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.

Is there a way to view ical events as a list?

Is there a way to view ical events as a list?

If you just want to export events then Bento will let you access and export your calendars. I think they still have a free trial version available. If you want to manipulate the actual ical data Bento will let you do that too.
Not sure if there's any other solution. Maybe someone else will have a good suggestion too.
Good luck!

ICal events duplicated, missing in iPhoto calendar

It's that time of year again, when I make my annual calendar. Only this year it isn't going smoothly.
When I go to the calendar settings and choose which iCal events I want, I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior.
Items from two calendars for the same day won't both appear on the calendar. I want to add a July 4 birthday, but I can get either Independence Day or the birthday, not both.
As I added calendars, sometimes events already listed became duplicated or triplicated (not with US Holidays, but other calendars).
Is anyone else having this problem and more importantly, does any one have a solution.
Calendar ordering time is fast upon us. One of the things that makes an iPhoto calendar worth the extra bucks is that it has all the dates I want on it. Help!

Help....duplications of ical events on iPhone and only syncing from mac to iPhone?

Hi,
Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing this problem.....
My iPhone syncs with my Mac perfectly via iTunes apart from iCal, which is giving me real grief! iCal on my mac is in perfect order and syncs events to my phone but my phone has duplicate and triplicate events and even events in different states of being edited. The iphone doesnt sync events made in it back to the mac either.
It syncs contacts etc. fine, just not iCal events.
Is there an easy way of fixing this or even totally reseting iCal on the Mac and iPhone so it clears this up? (obviously, I need to keep my calendar events though)
I've tried replacing the info on the phone, reseting the phone, changing to iCloud syncing and back again and I even upgraded to the iPhone 5 (which I was going to do anyway )
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8, iCal 4.0.4, iTunes 11.0.2 and I was on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5. It's been happening for two months now and it's getting really frustrating!
Thanks for any help in advance

This fixed my problem - finally!!

Some iCal events disappear when in week view

Hello all,
I recently had a double agenda booking. Today I found out why:
In week view some iCal events disappear... When i switch to month view, they reappear.
So, depending on the view i have open time slots. Not very reliable.
Anyone know what i can do to return to solid bookings again?
Best regards
Fred

Same problem here. I just imported everything from my old MacBook to my new one using Time Machine. My events appear in the Month view but not in the Week or Day views. So I went back to my old MacBook, created an iCal backup file, and emailed it to myself. Opened it on the new machine, restored from the backup file, and . . . same thing!
Very strange!! I need my daily events to be visible. Any help out there?
