ICal MobileMe upgrade : disappeared local calendars.

Hi all,
I "upgraded" my MobileMe iCal as I was asked to. Now all "on my mac" calendars are gone.
Some were not synced with MobileMe, so they just gone forever...
Like the ones I subscribed to.
Looks like the new MobileMe iCal just wiped out everything that's not MobileMe. Not cool.
I don't have the "over 30 days events gone" issue like others, though.
Does it mean that if one day I quit MobileMe (I'm not planning to, but hypothetically speaking), all my calendars will be gone ?
Thx

When Apple made the announcement to upgrade to OS 10.6 otherwise calendars would not sync, I did it. I've upgraded all of my computers to Snow Leopard and I am experiencing a total disconnect in service since that day. None of my calendars will sync properly. I've tried resending invitations, creating a new calendar to share and all to no avail. And on top of that, every time I've sent invitations, the app crashes!!
Please don't tell me that I have to upgrade to Lion 2 months after I was told to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I rather go back to microsoft entourage.
I'm really mad about this. I just said microsoft.

ICal - iPhone sync. Local calendar not showing up in iTunes list of available calendars, only Exchange calendars.

iTunes only shows Exchange-calendars in the list where you can choose which calendars (we're talking about "calendars", not "accounts") you want to synchronize. If I add a local calendar in iCal, I can not choose it to synchronize with my iPhone. It simply doesn't show up in the list of available calendars. How does iTunes compile this list of available Calendars to synchronize?

Hi Zachary,
Here is an article I'd suggest to troubleshoot this situation:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

You may only need to go through the steps with one device and have it resolve for the others.

Stuck in iCal/MobileMe Upgrade Loop

When I launch iCal a dialogue box pops up and I am asked if I want to
"upgrade to the new MobileMe Calendar." I am assured that if I click
the "Upgrade..." button I will "learn more about the new MobileMe
Calendar" and be able to upgrade.
"Sure, why not?"
Clicking "Upgrade..." simply takes me to my calendar at me.com. There
is no information on an upgrade, and nothing seems different.
Each time I launch iCal on any of five Macs currently in use the same cycle
repeats.
TIA!

I upgraded to iCal Beta and have regretted it ever since.
First of all I couldn't upgrade despite getting the invite because the upgrade cycle didn't work. Then when I finally upgraded cutting and pasting info into iCal put everything in the wrong order with no simple way of putting it right, so addresses and phone numbers all got mixed up. Then the leave feedback button was nowhere to be seen to report this problem so I decided to leave the Beta. Now I cannot get iCal on iPhone to sync any other way but manually despite no end of resetting sync data, backing up and or erasing calendars.

Local Calendars to iCloud

Community,
I am using SyncMate to sync my calendar from my corporate Android phone to my Mac. That works fine. The content of the Android calendar is synced to a local calendar in iCal.
Unfortunately the local calendars are not snced into the iCloud.
Is there any way how to sync these local calendars to iCloud or is there a way to sync my Android to the iCloud calendar of my iCal?
Tanks for all your comments
Oliver

Thanks Sjazbec,
you are right. But with help of SyncMate I can sync my lical iCal with my Android. The next step is the problem.
In my iCal I have the iCloud calendar and the local ones. SyncMate dous sync to a local calendar but not to the icloud calendar.
Regarding SyncMates FAQs the icloud calendar doesa not allow changes from outside of iCal itself. The local caleendars are not synced with the cloud. My question is if there is a way to sync the local iCal caldars with the cloud.
Kind Regards
Oliver

ICloud iCal duplicates - iTunes sync and local calendars OFF

Hi there,
all my calendar entries in iCloud (and, subsequently on my iPhone/iPad and Mac) show up at least 3 times, some of them 4 times. This applies to all of my 4 iCloud calendars. I used to have 3 or so local calendars before iCloud, but I somehow converted/merged them to iCloud calendars and now these are the only ones i have. iTunes calendar sync is off, and I have never used MobileMe.
For whatever reason they got duplicated, everything else seems to work fine. If I create a new entry in iCal it only shows up once in iCloud and on my devices. If there is an easy way for me to delete the duplicates in the cloud I think I could get everything in order again.
Thank you for any help
Christoph

Yes, your statement is correct and that is exactly what happens. However, if you have a PC running windows, then there is a problem in that icloud will not sync or should I say icloud to your pc.
I set icloud up at the beginning yesterday, it copied 4.4g to the cloud in the sky. Then I went into Outlook and entered a meeting a few days from now. Went back to icloud and told it to do its thing. It ran and when I checked the phone, the meeting was not on the phone. I then entered a different meeting on the iphone and told icloud to do its thing. When it was done, I went to the pc and checked outlook, nothing there from the phone. Then I hooked the cable up and pressed sync on itunes. It went through the sync, backed up etc. I then opened Outlook and still no meeting from the iphone, looked on the iphone and no meeting from the computer.
I turned off icloud and turned sync back on and everything sync'd perfectly with both meetings showing up on the phone and on the comupter.
Thus, icloud is great if you are going to have 3-4 iphones and you use them on different days, it will keep all your apps, etc the same. But for sync, the only way to do it with the PC is with the sync. Unless I am missing something. As I mentioned, if you do turn sync on while icloud is on, then yes, duplicates and a real pain.

New iCal / MobileMe system: how to synchronize ? How to group calendars ? H

Hi there,
Apple decides to change iCal/MobileMe system. Thanks for changing something that worked fine. Now it doens't.
I used to have my local calendar that synchronized with MobileMe, with groups of calendar (e.g. professional & personal). I used to publish professional calendars. Worked fine.
Now the 'MobileMe calendars' appear on iCal. I have problems
1/ I cannot create groups of calendars on MobileMe. How to do that ? And how next to publish one group ?
2/ I have local calendar still here. But it does not synchronize no more with MobileMe (in both ways). How to ?
3/ I want to go back with the ancien system. How to get back ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hi Roger,
Thank you for your answers and your contribution.
The new MobileMe calendar does not support Groups.
You mean that, now that I decided to pay to synchronize, I have less services ? Quite original !!
To transfer a local calendar to MobileMe: select it; from the File menu choose Export...>Export... - an .ics file will be saved in the specified location.
I have several calendars (around 15) I regularely save. Before, I used to save the whole database simply in one click.
If I undersatand well, I will have to save manually all calendars one by one ?
I really do not undersatand these "improvements"...

How can i sync a CalDav google calendar with my local calendar in iCal?

Hi,
I have a google calendar as CalDav-account in my iCal. It works perfect. Now i'd like to sync the google calendar with my local calendar, without copy/paste for every date. Ist there any possibility?

I just discovered that when you set up CalDAV delegate accounts in iCal, you are really moving google calendars into iCal, not the other way around. So for everything to sync up you must enter events in the delegate calendars in iCal, not in your original iCal calendars.

Local calendars group disappeared - problem with saving in the local calendars group

Hello, I have been working with calendars. I wanted to add a new calendar to the iCloud calendars group or to local calendars ("On my iPhone").
I found that when I am switching off the iCloud for calendars, the iCloud calendar group disappears and don't create the local storage ("On my iPhone"). I did exactly the same on the iPhone 4S, and it created the local group. I don't know why it is different on iPhone 5, especially as I was using iOS 7.1 on both.
Has anyone else had this problem before? Do you know how to restore my calendar to the local storage?
Thanks for help.

Solved this:
Turns out that we now require at least "List" permissions for "Everyone" for the root of the partition where the User profiles reside.
This was not the case on our previous images.
Hopes this helps someone else.

How can I sync my local calendars in iCal with Leopard?

I have a number of local calendars that I've been exporting to FileMaker into my /user/Library/Calendars folder, and syncing in iCal. I was using, as an example, "http://localhost/~johnnolan/bookings.ics" as a URL in iCal.
Now, with Leopard, my calendars don't refresh, and if I re-enter the url that had worked, I get this message:
"Connection to the server localhost was refused"
How can I fix this?

I find that I can sync fine with Entourage and I cal under Leopard. I can also subscribe to the Leopard I-calendar on another computer (running Tiger). However, the calendar will not go onto a web page as it used to; this is very frustrating for my colleagues! We need a fix here I think.

Lost all Ical-data upgrading to iCloud

Hello,
My wife and I chared a mobileme-account.
2 months ago I switched to Icloud, she continued using her Ical on het mac without synchronising it.
Today I installed lion on her mac. The computer automatically synchronised her Ical with the cloud and overwrote the local calendar. We lost al the new made appointments.
Can anybody help?
Tx,
Philippe

I have just had the same arroying experience. I had mobileme and iCal on laptop working fine. Could see calendars in both. Then got iPhone 3G and it synch'ed the calendars to it fine. Went and stupidly upgraded to 2.0.1 and low and behold come to use iCal on G4 laptop (leoprd 10.5.4) and have no calendars. Look on mobile me - no calandars....eeek. Look at iPhone - still there - sighs with relief - assumes can restore to iCal on mac - wrong. Doesn't work. Odd. So read a few posts on here and someone recommended going into settings and turning off calendar syching in mobileme account. BAD move. Gave me the option of turning off calendars when I did that - turning off mind...not removing...so I said OK (surely they would say if this was going to delete them)....then turned back on....silly me. Boom! the iPhone synched with mobileme and replaced the good calendars with no calendars. So I've managed to remove all cals from all places - quite an achievement. Thanks Apple.
Any ideas how I go about restoring the calendars?

ICal - MobileMe - Exchange

Good morning all,
until a few weeks ago, all was perfect in this world. Received invites in Mail (ics attachements), dropped them in iCal, which would sync to my iPhone through MobileMe.
Then "progress" came our way in the form of Exchange 2007. Had to tweak a few things (adding an exchange account into iCal for one). Now, invites show automatically in iCal, but under a separate set of calendars (I have my own drop down calendars, and then this new Exchange list of drop down calendar).
The thing is, those invites, not being in "my" local calendars, don't sync to my iPhone through MobileMe. How do I get this to work? Do I make sense ?
Thanks!

Hi JWilson@ch,
So I thought I was the only person doing that crazy workflow to get everything synced. I do it exactly the same way.
I stupidly upgraded to the new MobileMe last year when first invited, and spent the next few days working out how to get it all back and working. I have been happily syncing everything the old way since then.
My major concern now is that I just received an email from MobileMe today saying I have to upgrade now as they have stopped syncing the old calendar! I haven't checked this yet (I will in a sec), but if I have to upgrade, that means I lose everything that has worked so well since MobileMe started.
My crappy work Blackberry is useless for mirroring my Outlook calendar, so syncing my work onto the much more user friendly iPhone had been a saviour. Now I have all of my work and personal appointments in the same place, and I never miss anything.
What to do now? Is there another way to get my PC calendar onto my iPhone, apart from the Exchange Activesync option which my office also doesn't support.
I'll hold out as long as I can...

How to share an icloud calendar without sharing local calendars

I have created an icloud calendar for family use. I want us to be able to view/edit it in the Calendar app on our macs and on our ios devices. But we don't want our local (business and school) calendars uploaded to icloud. Only one of us have upgraded to Yosemite, and none of us to ios8, as we don't like the new interface. We are therefore mostly using ios7 and Mavericks, though one is using 10.6 still and another is a google phone user. Notwithstanding the last two oddities, it seems to be impossible to find a solution, even without the Calendar integration.
Does anybody have a solution for this no doubt common situation?

Hi Bill,
Referencing iCloud: Calendar sharing overview
If the other shares their iCloud calendar as public, you can add it to your Calendar without using iCloud, but you can only view it, no edits.
So here the answer is Yes.
Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format.
A public calendar can’t be edited by anyone but the calendar owner (the creator).
If you need to be able to edit the Calendar, then you need to have iCloud Calendar enabled.
Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users.
As the owner (creator) of a shared calendar, you assign edit privileges to the invitees to control who can modify the calendar.
You stated earlier, "When you configure the connection to iCloud you only have the option to merge all your calendars into one on iCloud."
That is not what happened for me. Each local calendar got "merged" with the same calendar on iCloud but each stayed separate. If some of the local calendars didn't exist on iCloud, then they were duplicated on iCloud. So for example, Home and Work local calendars became Home and Work iCloud calendars.
iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal - Apple Support
If you have local calendars, they are merged with iCloud when you set up iCloud Calendar.
That doesn't say they are merged into one big calendar.
The calendars created in iCloud are not shared by default. You need to manually share the ones you want to share. So to view someone else's shared calendar, you do not need to share your own.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
If when setting up iCloud calendars you get calendars on iCloud you do not want there, you can delete them from iCloud.
iCloud: Delete a calendar
Hope that helps. If not, please contact support for help clearing this up.
Take care,
Nubz

ICal events "just disappear" on my mac, but are visible on MobleMe & iPhone

I have multiple iCal calendars, that are working fine, then just disappear from calendar view. The account is still set up, no errors, just missing. Everything is on MobileMe, my iPhone & iPad, just not my iMac. 2 hrs on the help chat with Apple & they had no idea what was happening & no solution. Anyone else having this problem???

Same problem here for the first time today. One calendar disappeared from my Mac and iPad. It was still there on MobileMe and on the iPhone. I just fiddled around with the visibility of the calendars and they reappeared on the Mac after a while. On the iPad I did the same and it came back too a little later. Actually, I don't know if what I did was of any use and if it would have fixed itself with just a little patience.
But what I do know (since I realized how the new system worked) is that I can't trust it... I'm doing twice weekly backups of all my calendars. I read (in the knowledge base if I remember correctly) that backups must now be done as exports of each calendar and not as an iCal archive. The master data is now all on MobileMe so Time Machine is useless unless you have these export files saved on your Mac. FWIW.

ICAL + MobileMe = Confusion

Having upgraded to the new version of MobileMe, I have eventually managed to sync my iCAL, MobileMe and iPhone diaries (thanks to those who have already posted communications on how to do this). However, I have a couple of questions in relation to this:
1. If all three diaries are now syncing wirelessly, what happens if I lose my iPhone and have to remotely wipe the data on it - does this mean that all my diary entries on MobileMe will also be wiped?
2. I now don't seem to be able to export my iCAL diary to archive to back it up - is this because i am no longer using 'on my mac' and now using 'me.com'? Is there a way to save the me.com calendar to the hard drive for safety and back-up?
Thanks

Dr Law,
...does this mean that all my diary entries on MobileMe will also be wiped?
No, all your data will remain in the cloud.

Edit iCal event from calendar1 to calendar 2 on iPhone dupliates the event

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem with my iCal server.
A user has 5 calendars in his account. When he accesses his account every 5 calendars work perfect from the LAN and from the Internet (outside)... He enters an event in calender1, changes the event to calender2, it gets moved perfectly. This happens on OS X clients.
Now the culprit, which drives me nuts...
When he changes an event on his iPhone or iPad, the event gets duplicated. So the event which was in calendar 1 is now in calendar 2 as well, but stays in calender1 too...
Hmm, I have searched here, googled my head off, and cannot find a solution.
Does anyone have this problem or just me?
thanks
Rob
Everthing is on 10.6.6 (Server Clients, iPhones are on 4.2.1. All calendars reside on the server, there are no local calendars.

Hello there,
I have the same problem. I use a 3rd party calendar app (miCal) to synchronize with my Google calendars. Their support told me to try it with iCal on iPhone, and its the same problem, so the problem resides there, as miCal is synchronizing with iCal on the iPhone.
When I move an event from calendar1 to calendar2, it is displayed as supposed in iCal and miCal. When I access Google calendar directly via their web interface, you can see the "old" event in calendar1, though. So it's still there.
I'm pretty sure the problem does not reside with Google, as I found some forum post with the same problem somewhere else on the Internet, but with MobileMe for calendar sync instead of Google.
Currently I'm running 4.3.2 (according to the post above, it should be fixed with 4.3.1) but I still run into the same problem again and again as I move events from one calendar to another on a regular basis.
With iCal on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) it works as it's supposed to. No complaints there. This duplicating of events happens only when I move events on the iPhone. Any solutions there?
Thank you!
Thomas
