ICal in Leopard and To Do Lists

I have just upgraded and iCal will not hide to do items outside of the date window (tried prefs) . I have tried to delete them and they still show up. Any one else having this problem? And is there a solution?

Try requesting Appigo to support Mobile Me syncing?
This site is easier to browse/search for applications than the App Store in iTunes:
http://appshopper.com/
Search for a to-do app that supports MobileMe syncing. OmniFocus does MobileMe syncing (though the HOW of it looks a little strange to me), and I assume it will hook into iCal.
Other than that, you aren't really looking for an app. You are looking for a service that keeps to-dos online, AKA in the cloud. Probably any such reputable service will hook into an iPhone app somehow, and may also have a desktop app. Or possibly you'll need a second utility that pulls into from iCal and sends it to the service.
I think I may have read that Appigo will cooperate with Toodledo.com. This post also mentions Remember the Milk, may be helpful:
http://www.tuaw.com/2009/01/30/appigo-sync-brings-ical-todo-syncing-with-iphone- app/
Also ask Apple to sync iCal to-dos to the iPhone via MobileMe. People have been asking for years, but another complaint can't hurt:

  • I have osx 10.6.3 have just upgraded to snow leopard and it says my app ical is ical 3.0.2 and cant be used?  what the??? what do i do now?

    I have just upgraded to snow leopard and ical now wont open.  says it is not compatible and is ical 3.0.2 which seems strange as i have a osx10.6.3 .   have looked for update but cant find one,  what do i do?

    Greetings,
    It sounds like you have moved iCal from it's normal location and are opening a second copy which is the older version.
    The current version of OS X 10.6 is 10.6.8.  As you are running 10.6.3 you need the updates.  Go to the Apple Menu > Software update and keep doing this until it says all updates have been installed.
    Click anywhere on your desktop (the background).
    Go to the top of the computer screen and click on "Go" > "Applications"
    In this list look for "iCal".
    Double-click iCal in this location (which is the proper home for iCal) and see what version it says.
    If it reports the correct version you can drag the iCal from the Applications folder to the dock on your screen to add an button for it (if you already have one in the dock, remove it before you drag this one there).  Be sure to leave iCal in the Applications folder.
    Hope that helps.

  • No more "current and next month" list on left of iCal

    Since the upgrade to Lion, the current and next month list on the left is gone. When I want to reschedule an event, I used to look on the left to see the dates in the next month, or current month if in week view etc .... now it's not there. If I want to change a date, I have to look at another calendar on my wall to reschedule. Can this list be put back on the left?

    Mark,
    You may want to experiment using the "Year" view. There is a keyboard shortcut (⌘4) for accessing that view.
    Can this list be put back on the left?
    Let Apple know about your suggestion using Apple - iCal - Feedback.

  • ICal bug subscribing/publishing between Leopard and Tiger?

    It seems there is a strange incompatibility between iCal 2.0.5 (Tiger) and iCal 3.0 (Leopard).
    I work for a company where 10 employees share their calendars through a private server.
    Everyone publishes his/her calendar and is subscribed to all the other calendars within the company. So effectively, everyone sees his own calendar in iCal as read/write and all the other calendars as read- only.
    Last week 3 machines were upgraded to Leopard and since then trouble started.
    Now, when someone on a Leopard machine creates an event and invites someone who is on a Tiger machine, the Tiger machine can accept the invitation but as soon as it is accepted the event disappears from the Tiger calendar.
    As soon as the subscription to the Leopard calendar is removed, the event reappears on the Tiger calendar.
    The results are the same when a Tiger user invites a Leopard user on the Tiger machine.
    I tried this both with a private server and dotMac.
    Does anyone have the same experience and perhaps a solution to it?
    Right now the only solution I see is to upgrade all the machines to Leopard.

    Although I don't have a solution, I share your pain. I had less problems with iCal even before upgrading to Leopard.
    What I can find across forums discussing bugs in iCal for Leopard is that, for the moment, there are a lot of small annoyances regarding alarms, compatibilities and inability to edit items without causing it to crash, amongst other topics.
    The frustration level is growing as no sign of help seems to be come from Cupertino until now, the best help is on the forums, by power users themselves.

  • When will email alarms work in iCal 3.0 and Leopard?

    I have been trying to follow the Apple discussions of some of the problems in iCal 3.0 under Leopard. Fortunately, I haven't experienced some of them. The one that is bothering me is the inability to send email alarms. This is a feature I used a lot in Tiger and want to use again. My iBook and iMac are syncing pretty well, and my calendars are, too. However, if I create a new iCal event on either computer and then try to set an email alarm, I get this response: "You must add your own card and email address in Address Book in order to be able to use mail alarms" with a link to open Address Book. When I open Address Book, there is no conceivable way to follow the above instruction. Either I am missing something very simple, or Apple has not fixed this bug in iCal 3.0 and Leopard, despite having stated in a knowledge base document on November 15, 2007, (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306907) that as a result of the 10.5.1 update "iCal alarms are now more reliably delivered via email." Has anyone figured a go-around for this problem?

    Well, here I am answering my own question. I went into Address Book preferences on my iBook, which was upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and found that my own card in Address Book was no longer indicated as being "me". I checked the box to indicate that, and then--voilà!--my email alarms worked in iCal. I guess I should have realized that the upgrade to Leopard didn't necessarily create all the preferences that had previously existed in Tiger. Once I check the iMac, which came with Leopard, to ascertain that this fix works on the iMac, too, I will mark this question as answered.

  • I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

    I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal.  Except I don't know where these are coming from or why.   I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically.  Any Clues?  Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

    Greetings,
    What do you mean by "events to update"?  Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
    Troubleshooting:
    1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
    2. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • Question on Mail and iCal in Leopard

    To those of you using Mail and iCal in Leopard...
    What do you think of the new features? How does it handle things such as meeting invites and tasks?
    I'm trying to determine whether or not to upgrade, and this is the determining factor. I have yet to find "professional" mail/calendar/task manager program for my Mac that makes doing business with Outlook users, easy (Entourage is terrible...)

    As a consultant who runs around all day, I rely heavily on iCal, plus I use it to do my billing at the end of the month.
    I find the new Leopard iCal, which I just upgraded to a couple days ago, to require lots more mousing. I don't like that at all. I prefer the info drawer of Tiger's iCal. I have to click like three times to get to where I can edit the name or note of an appointment. I'm currently planning to read the instructions (gasp!) to see if there are any useful shortcuts for those of us who are carpal-tunnelly challenged.
    I don't use invitations or tasks, so I can't address that. Just the standard events.
    I do love the way iCal and Address Book integrate with my iPhone. I dumped my Treo and have never looked back.

  • ICal Timezone Selection and Naming

    A few OS revisions past timezones were named with some at times distant association to UTC standards and could be attached to an event. Type in Eastern Standard or just Eastern and up came timezones with that in their name. Simple right, if you knew the name of the timezone you were planning the event for? Seems reasonable, if you are scheduling events for different time zones you might, nay probably, knew the name of the timezone. Or could easily find it online.
    As I recall you could also type the name of a city like Cleveland or Stockton, or even some more obscure places like Vienna or Paris, and get the same results.
    Apple changed it, to remove any confusing references to actual standard timezone names when selecting, ahem, a timezone. Nor can you select by offset from UTC (0) known to most as GMT, which was also an available choice.
    One currently has to name a city or large town that Apple has deemed worthy of inclusion, and while shock of shocks the US database of cities, towns and hamlets is fairly well populated, those outside the US  appear to have been selected by a bored intern who snuck a bottle of beer in armed with a dart and a word map.
    Requiring one examine, from an example I prepared earlier, the map of Western Australia searching for a town that appears significant enough to perhaps have been included in said timezone popup menu by Apple that is also located near Grass Patch (look it up), and hopefully happens to be in the same timezone is an exercise in almost random guesswork. Take a look at a timezone map of Australia if you think they are all stacked neatly side-by-side with borders as straight and dull as a Texas town main street.
    I own a computer to avoid error inducing, repetitive, dull activities that could better be done by a well trained pidgeon. It is, obviously I suppose, very irritating and ironic that it was a desire to avoid such errors that was the reason one turned on timezone support in the first place.
    You also have to know in advance, or try possibilities at random, the name town or city hoping that it appears in the Apple town-or-city-name-apparently-chosen-at-f*****g-random-and-associated-with-a-tim ezone popup menu in your effort to select the same timezone as your event attendee. Proximity does not guarantee a town is the same timezone after all. Often a distant town or city in the Apple popup will be in the same timezone, while one nearby is not. But you cannot know for certain without trawling through the internet and wikpedia to work this out because most maps do not include delineations of the various timezones.
    In this case Apple has made a mistake in deciding what not to do. Removing a perfectly usable, well not perfectly but better than this, existing system in place as an option was an error.
    By removing standard UTC codes, or something approximating them (you know the international standard naming convention for timezones that has been abandoned in an application trumpeting its adoption of standards), instead of just leaving them available alongside the calendrical equivalent of Soma, may, may, have made the system easier for people unfamiliar with timezones. But I doubt it, it is more likely to guarantee continued ignorance based on increased confusion engendered by use of a system providing no pattern or framework for understanding the concept of timezones, and it is a pain in the rear for anyone else.
    It also is part of a trend previously only inflicted on Windows users routinely of attempting to make things simpler for more people while making it impossible or more difficult to someone who knows what they are doing. I have no objection to providing simpler alternatives, just stop taking away more elegant if intellectually "demanding" ones already in existence.
    Looking up what city is nearby in the hope it is on the magic list for every one horse town a client might live in instead of just being able to type one of the Australian UTC standard timezones as provided by the client, or pick an offset of +8 hours in the above example is patronising, absurd, time consuming, and prone to errors.
    Is there anyway I can use the terminal to edit the pop up list of time zones or substitute a different one referenced by iCal? Or to restore something resembling a standard pop up list ordered by offset from UTC 0, otherwise known as GMT? If I could simply pick an offset of -8, or +5 hours, as examples, life would be a lot happier in iCal. Because even if I have to determine some offsets, as in the WA example above, doing so is as simple as typing "What is the time in <insert name of obscure s******e here> <name of country here> in my browser bar and hitting Enter.
    Yes I know that means I may have to do addition or subtraction, but I have the Apple Calculator for anything over 2, and somehow it has been spared any attempts to simplify its use.

    I've had this same issue 2 times now (I'm also on the same setup as you).
    What has worked for me is the workaround listed here:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070313180838582
    To simplify, copy the script shown in the last post into a text file called:
    correctBirthdays (no file extension such as .txt is necessary)
    and save it into your home directory. Once you've done that:
    1. Back up your Address Book with the 'File > Back up Address Book...' menu item
    2. Open the Terminal application
    3. In Terminal, type *chmod 755 correctBirthdays* to make the script executable.
    4. Type *./correctBirthdays -1* and hit enter. If you're coming back from Japan, you'll want to use 1 instead of -1 to move the birthdays forward instead of back a day.
    5. That's it. Terminal will report how many birthdays were corrected.
    I'm guessing that this problem has been fixed in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and that's why musicale can't reproduce the issue.
    Hope this helps!
    (and I take no responsibility if you mess something up! It should work though.)

  • Yet another claw-mark left on iCal from Leopard- BEWARE OF COMMAS

    How does this look - it's the way one of our published church calendars looks now in Leopard when you use Safari to look at it:
    AA\, Alanon\, ACOA\, CoDA\, Girl Scouts\, (should be: AA, Alanon, ACOA, CoDA, Girl Scouts,)
    In our church web site, we have several iCal calendars. Outside organizations that use our facilities are on one calendar. Suddenly, with the introduction of Leopard, a backslash appears before every comma.
    IS THERE A WORKAROUND? How could something this seemingly idiotic happen?
    I wonder where the problem is in the enormous list of fixes needed in Leopard and iCal. This Leopard operating system has too many claws, not enough purrs.

    Lockard,
    Where\, or in what field are these entries?
    Is this also the case with other browsers?
    Have you tried to Unpublish...\, and then Publish... again?
    Also\, open Font Book and check for duplicates/validate fonts.
    ;~)

  • I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on.  The Tech told me to

    I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine.  Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer.  I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs.  Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
    When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it.  Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

    Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • Snow Leopard finder doesn't list all files on Windows 7 volumes

    From my Macbook Pro (10.6.8), I can connect to my Mac Pro, while it is running Windows 7 in Boot Camp, in order to access the Mac Pro's 6 volumes (1 Boot Camp, 5 Mac volumes). This is using SMB via Finder's 'Connect to server…' on an Airport network.
    However, Finder never displays all the files and folders on any of the Mac volumes it connects to through Windows 7. It seems to show approximately the first 18-9 files and folders, and then nothing. The same applies when I open a nested folder — it doesn't list all of its contents.
    Any ideas as to what's causing this and how I can fix it? I have searched all over but can't find any answers yet, so I'm hoping someone here has seen this before.

    Thanks for the reply, but I do have the Restore Windows box checked (see below). And the Resume features info (cnet link) only addresses how to turn the feature off, either selectively or globally. I'm simply looking for the functionality that I had with Snow Leopard and now seems to be absent. Maybe it's a bug in my Finder.

  • APPLE = Fix iCal in Leopard!!!!!

    Hi,
    What did Apple do to iCal in Leopard? They broke it somehow. I had hard drive failure in powerbook. Replaced Hard drive, did new install of Leopard. Then installed Palm desktop 4.2 (newest from site). Setup Palm Treo 650 conduit in isync. It will only sync the addresses, nothing in iCal. Either way is bad. From Treo to iCal, and iCal to Treo won't work. Everything IS setup correctly. I used to do this in Tiger with no problems. What did Apple do to Leopard? This needs to be corrected immediately! I do all my scheduling in iCal. It is useless to me if I can't sync it to the Treo to take with me.

    My sync in Leopard was working OK until today. My Nokia E61 syncs contacts but not calendar entries as of today. Strange. iSync doesn't recognize the calendars in iCal and says "No writable calendar was found" even though iCal is open right behind it.

    I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
    My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

  • Is there a workaround so for Leopard and iCloud yet?

    I have an iMac PowerPC on Leopard at work and a MobileMe account which syncs my iPhone4 (iOS4), iPad1 (iOS4), my work iMac (Leopard) and my home Mac Pro (Snow Leopard). Syncing works perfectly. I love it.
    I've been holding off on updating my MacPro to Lion and my devices to iOS5 and iCloud because I REALLY don't want to lose the ability to use Leopard Addressbook and iCal at work.
    I just hate the thought of my iMac Addressbook and iCal databases not being sync'able anymore rending them useless, certainly more and more as I add to my calendars and contacts on my other 3 devices with my iMac out f the loop since you can't go farther than Leopard on a PowerPC.
    If there is no way to keep my iMac in the synch "loop" after upgrading to iCloud, I guess I'll be forced to use my iPad or iPhone Contacts and Calendar at work and have them sync to iCloud so at least my iPhone, iPad and MacPro will be in sync.
    What a shame. I know I'm not alone. I can't get work to buy me a new Mac (especially since everyone else is on PCs) just so I can use my computer's Addressbook and iCal applications. Otherwise it's still a viable computer.
    I'm hoping there's some 3rd party programmer out there working on solving this issue. There are just too many Leopard computers out there with lots of life in them to become obsolete because of iCloud. What a strange way to kill a computer product and OS line.

    The problem with the post above is that events created in ical don't sync to icloud,ical can only retrieve it from the cloud,so I tried something to solve that.
    Just figured out how to get an icloud-account in ical for Leopard 10.5.8
    you'll find the info in:
    ~/library/calendars/[the calendar that ends with] .caldav/info.plist
    Open the info.plist with textedit
    somewhere down the page you'll find <key>PrincipalURL</key>
    underneath this:
    <string>https://p02-caldav.icloud.com:/XXXXXXXXX/calendars/YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-Y/</string>
    X.....being your unique ID
    Y.....being the calender ID
    In ical:
    -Click create account
    -description = whatever name you like
    -user name= apple id
    -password=apple id
    -server options= https://p02-caldav.icloud.com/[your unique ID]/principal/
    This creates the icloud account.
    Than:
    -export a calendar to the desktop
    -drag the calendar on the icloud account
    there's your icloud calendar!
    click 'get info' from that calendar and you will see the url that should connect to icloud but......it doesn't!
    Can anyone help me with that please?
    I tried a thousand different url's but I can't get ical to connect with icloud.
