Ical group

How can I set up and configure a calendar for one group? I would like people share and view the events of the calendar.
Doing it on the wiki is nor optimal, because some users doesn't get all the calendars of their group. And the wiki's subscribe link is not working at all.

Thank you very much. I get the idea to create calendars for groups with Lion Server.
- Create a "Calendar Administrator" User account at the Lion Server
- Connect from "iCal" Lion application as a "Calendar Administrator"
- Create as many calendars as you want to share at this server is user. (File > New Calendar > $SERVER$)
- Share this calendar with people from the server's accounts.
Now it works like charm, but a tutorial from Apple would be great because I wasted several hours on this simple configuration.
Thank you very much Atrato

  • Publishing iCal group to web WITH colors

    Here is my problem. I can publish my iCal group to the web and view the group calendars just fine, but the colors do not show up in web view like they do in the application.
    What am I doing wrong, or is there a solution?
    Thanks!

    Johnny,
    There is nothing that you are doing wrong.
    What you are observing is simply a limitation of the publish feature.
    You may want to provide Apple - iCal - Feedback.

  • Subscribing to Ical group

    Can a person using a PC Windows XP or Vista subscribe to an iCal group?

    This problem may not have anything to do with your hostname.
    I've had a similar problem subscribing to calendars from the web interface. In my experience, iCal still doesn't allow ssl encrypted webcal subscriptions. Notice the address you referenced from your log... "http://wiki.mydomain.net:8443" should be "https://wiki.mydomain.net:8443" with SSL.
    This is how I have worked around it...
    Set the SSL option in the authentication pane of the iCal service in Server Admin to "Redirect" instead of "Use". This will redirect traffic from port 8008 to port 8443 (or whatever you have set your iCal service ports to.
    In the subscription dialog in iCal (after clicking the "Subscribe in iCal" link from the web interface), change the port number in the address to 8008 (or whatever your non-SSL port is).
    It's not pretty, but it's working.

  • Published ical-group

    I published an ical-group with .mac. In the beginning there were three calendars. Then I opened a new caladar in this group. But now it is not published. What's to do?

    Robert,
    If you added a new calendar to the group, then you will have to click on the Group Calendar name in the iCal sources (Calendars) window and then select iCal>Calendar>Refresh.
    Updating Internet calendars provides additional information.

  • ICal group publishing?

    I have an iCal group of 10 calendars. I want my salesmen to see this group. Is there any way to do this besides them subscribing to ten individual published calendars?

    Greetings,
    If you wish to share an entire group of calendars with others (not just send them individual events or calendars) then you will need a host.  A host is a server which sits on the internet and holds the calendar for you.
    If you are a MobileMe subscriber (a host) you could provide your login name and password to everyone that needs access to these calendars and they can add the MobileMe account to their computer to see all the calendars.  I only recommend doing this if you are using a MobileMe account dedicated to this business purposes as you should never give your personal account information to anyone else.
    You could also sign up for a free calendar service like Gmail calendars / Google calendars (a host) and then provide the login information to all those that need access.  They can add the GoogleCalendar to their computer to see all the calendars at once.
    Beyond that you could also setup your own calendar server using Mac OS X Server.  That may be more features than you are looking for although it can be highly useful.  If you think you might be interested in getting a server installed in your office you might want to locate a Mac OS X Server consultant in your area to discuss your needs: http://consultants.apple.com/
    Hope that helps.

  • ICal Groups and Palm Categories

    I've been struggling to get these two programs to work together well and may have finally figured it out. But before I go and screw up my iCal and/or Palm device...
    If I name all my categories in my Palm the same as the Events in my iCal Group, will they sync correctly? Or will it end up being a big mish-mosh?
    Anyone had any luck doing this?

    I don't know - I haven't had any problems at all. Here is how iCal calendar to Palm category is intended to work:
    Calendars and Categories
    • iCal events are assigned to a Palm category with the same name as the calendar they are part of.
    If the category does not exist on the Palm device, the Events conduit creates a category with the calendar name and assigns the event to that category. If that category cannot be added - due to space limitations - the event is added to Unfiled.
    • Palm events/tasks that are in a specific category are sent to that calendar in iCal only if a calendar with the same name as the category exists.
    If the calendar does not exist, the record will be sent to the calendar that is chosen in the conduit configuration sheet. If the calendar is read only, the event/task will be ignored.
    • On the first synchronization of read-only calendars, the items are properly assigned to the correct category on the device.
    If any edit is made to an item in a read-only calendar the change is ignored but will persist on the device until something forces it to be overwritten by data from the desktop, like if the R/O item was updated. If an item is assigned to a read-only calendar - a new event, etc - it will be switched to the calendar you have selected in your preferences.
    • Calendars listed in the conduit settings are pulled from Sync Services, meaning that if iCal has not finished synchronizing with Sync Services the full list of calendars may not be read.
    I'm curious about something…
    When you first installed the Missing Sync for Palm OS, did you faithfully follow the instructions to synchronize one final time with iSync - so that your handheld and desktop applications contain essentially identical record sets - and, then set the Mark/Space conduits to Overwrite handheld with desktop data prior to the initial synchronization?

  • ICal Group Calendar - Line command

    Does anyone know how to create a group calendar other than through the wiki interface? I would think there is a line command as well.
    I have created group calendars on several osx servers in the past. I have two 10.6.4 servers that seem to have an authorization or communication issue when creating the calendar through the wiki.
    Apache: *PROPFIND /principals/wikis/company/ HTTP/1.1" 500 201*
    Ical err Failure: *twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError: Connection was refused by other side: 61: Connection refused*.
    Accessing the group calendar through the wiki give in in browser error:
    quest URL:
    *https://www.mycompany.com/principals/wikis/company/*
    *Request Method:PROPFIND*
    *Status Code:500 Internal Server Error*
    I thought I'll debug it further by creating a group calendar by command line. Does anyone know how to do that? Or any other suggestions where to continue?

    Thanks for that, Jonathan, but it appears to have a problem: you apparently can't use the Address Panel if you fill in the Account URL field, and all the attendees I fill in to events aren't "real" they have little exclams before their name, instead of check marks.
    It seems that the Address Panel only works with accounts that have "Automatically discover server address" checked, and each account for which you have that checked must have a different Username -- you can't use a group name.
    I suppose you could set up dummy user names so you could access the groups somehow, AND have the Address Panel working properly...
    It's too bad this stuff doesn't work better. I'll bet it doesn't get better before the next "kitty" release, 18-24 months from now...

  • Does Snow Leopard Server iCal Service support iCal Groups?

    I have successfully configured iCal Service on Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8v1.1 and have several client Mac system (runing SL 10.6.8v1.1) connected to this service via CalDAV. I can create new calendars and those calendars and any test events propigate to all machines that have this CalDAV account configured. But whenever I try to create a calendar group it always appears as a local calendar group. Is this a feature missing when using iCal Server and CalDAV? Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I doubt if you'll find a step-by-step as most people's requirements are different. One of the places most people start is here:

    Have you tried searching the Forum itself?

  • Creating iCal groups for iCloud

    Is there any way to create a new calendar group for the iCloud? When I create a new group in iCal, it only creates it on my Mac, and I can't see any options of creating a new group in the iCloud calendars. Are "Home" and "Work" the only options for iCloud iCal?
    We're trying to set up our iCal on our Mac to sync using iCloud with our iPad and iPod.

    Hi All,
    I don't think SPRO---Logistics general -Material master- Tools --- Maintain authorization and authorization profiles is the right path to create new authorization groups.
    Can anyone explain how to create new authorization groups for different material types. The purpose is to create a role and assign this auth. group to this role and provide that security role to specific users.
    Regards

  • ICal Group Calendars Repeating Events

    Is it really true that group calendars can't have repeating events? If you add an group account in iCal and then take events from the Group calendar and make them repeating they do not show up in the web calendar.
    Is Apple telling up that standing weekly or monthly meetings for a workgroup are "a bad thing"?

    I have finally got Leopard Server Advanced up and running with Open Directory, iCal Server, Wiki Server and DNS. I haven't tried my luck on anything else because my experience is that once you break something there is no way to fix it other than a clean install!
    Now I find that repeating events don't show up in the web calendar? Obviously this product was not ready to be released. I am hoping that after a couple of more point releases, maybe by 10.5.5, this will finally be stable and feature complete.
    It has a long way to go before it lives up to its hype. It does have potential though so I am willing to hang in there.

  • ICal & Group calendar access

    Does anybody know how to setup iCal to access the group calendars that are available through the wiki.
    I have successfully setup the client app to access the users calendar, but need to access the group calendar via iCal as well (if possible)

    Thanks for that, Jonathan, but it appears to have a problem: you apparently can't use the Address Panel if you fill in the Account URL field, and all the attendees I fill in to events aren't "real" they have little exclams before their name, instead of check marks.

  • IPhone sync does not show updated contact groups or iCal groups

    I have now spent the entire evening chasing issues with the Sync using iTunes 7.31. (I'm betting you'll see 7.32 very soon!) It began when I could not sync my iPhone via iTunes as it would hang when trying to sync contacts. After exporting all contacts, deleting all groups and reimporting the contact, I was finally able to get it working again ... well almost. When I went to sync, it now gets stuck on the calendar portion. So, thinking I had it figured out, I attempted to backup my iCal and restore from backup. I also deleted a bunch of no longer used groups. Well, when I went to sync again, it started hanging once again on the calendar. I also noticed that all of the cleaning up of groups in both the address book and iCal was for not as the changes did not get ported over to iTunes. So ... anyone know where iTunes is caching the info?

    Was finally able to solve the issue by deleting all iCal preferences, all iTunes preference, and all iSync preferences in the /user/library/.

  • Ical group calendars?

    anyone a clue yet how to get the group calendar into my ical?
    or the wiki calendar that i have in my wikicalendar?
    sayonara
    zeke

    So where do I enter this?? I have a Snow Leopard Client and Snow Leopard Server, and in iCal, I can add a new account, but I can only enter user/pass/server, and using this format for server yields an error. So I enter this:
    Account type: CalDAV
    User name: sandman
    Password: ***
    Server address: http://my.ical.server:8008/principals/wikis/work
    So, "my.ical.server" is a real server name of course, and "work" is the wiki name, based on this url: http://my.ical.server/groups/work/calendar/ <- Which is the wiki calendar page, just to show you the short name of the group/wiki
    This logs me in to the server (notifying me that it's not running SSL, so it's connecting), but when I hit continue, it says this:
    "The account information was not found. The resource specified by "/principals/_UIDS_/<encrypted-string>/" could not be found on this server.
    ***? How do I do it?

  • Strange problems with iCal group calendar

    Hi,
    I got some strange problems with group calendar. They are evil so that we may decide to throw it away because under this cirumstances it's not usable for our company.
    1) If we add events running more than one week in webcalendar, we can see it in the actual week, but not in the following weeks.
    2) The webcalendar seems to be 2 hours in the future, we cannot find how to change time zone or whatever. We can see, that we added a new event at 4pm, in the list of recent changes we see that this event was added at 6pm.
    3) In the Wiki we can see the usernames in the list of recent changes, but in calendar there is only unknown. But there are no anonymous users, only named users within these group.
    Any idea?
    Thanks
    Rene

    If I hadn't been using iCal/Google Calendar for over 18 months, with reminders from both systems playing nicely over that period, I'd happily agree with you. The issue with Reminders only began (for me, at least) in February this year. I agree that there's potential for conflict, and maybe both sets of developers finally threw in the towel. This is a pity, because I like both systems, but I feel slightly irritated at being effectively told by Google or Apple that I have to choose sides.

  • How do you add multiple emails to iCal group?

    By using Edit Distribution List, I can specify which of several email addresses for one contact should be mailed as part of a Group.  But what if I want to include more than one of the email addresses that is included in a contact (for example, both the husband and wife)?  How do I do that?
    Thanks.

    I did figure this out, sort of, by adding a tab character to the beginning of each email address in my text file. Contact then let me import it, and I could select the field for the email address. So I've imported my list as a group of 700+ emails.
    BUT now when I try and add that Group in the To: or Cc: or Bcc: fields in mail, it just disappears when I type it.
    Any idea what's up with that?
    thanks
