Ical no calendar

i'm new to macs, purchased a secondhand macbook pro wich is upgraded from tiger to snow leopard.
ical wont run on 10.6 but wont update. i dont unfortunately have any disc other than original tiger discs. i downloaded ical 4.0 this opens but no calendars are visible and i cannot load any calendars.Tried removing the pref files and cashes but when i restart ical it hangs with the upgrading calendars box.

Yes. On a Mac there is 3rd party shareware that will let you sych with Entourage, if you use that scheduling program instead. Search iPod Entourage at Versiontracker.com. On a PC you can sych with Outlook.
iCal is part of the Tiger and Panther versions of OS X. So if you are using either of these versions it should be in your apps folder.

  • ICal/Google Calendar no longer sync since April 23 2011

    In the last week of April iCal/Google calendar sync has quit working.  When trying to sync the iCal and the Google.  The message I get is that  "iCal found the CalDAV server 'www.google.com', but couldn't log in with the user name "XXXXXX". Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then try again.  I originally noticed the bouncing iCal icon about April 23-24 and at the time it said that the account [email protected] could not update. I re-entered the information for the account and it still ddid not update.  I deleted the account on iCal hoping that a re-enter of all the information would get things up and running and it has not.
    I have looked over the available responses to similar problems and none of them have made any difference.
    Please always include:
    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    Program and version you use to access Google Calendar (e.g. Internet Explorer 7 or Outlook 2003):  Safari 5.0.5 (6533.21.1) and Google Chrome 11.0.696.57 and iCal Version 4.0.4 (1395.7)
    I also cannot set up the account on the iPad (I was hoping to do so as a work around).  Interestingly enough, my wife who subscribes to my Google Calendar as a delegate still gets the updates and things are working for her on her iMac using iCal.

    There is a big discussion on this topic on the google calendar forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=7f08411ae09ca8da&hl=en
    As I wrote there:
    I'm suffering the same, but I have some more information about it.  I have multiple delegates, so I have had the "good fortune" to be able to have some of them go bad and still have others to experiment with. 
    The ones that have gone bad are those where I made a change in iCal and then tried to refresh. 
    When I made changes on my google calendars I was still able to refresh in iCal and have the change show up.  But as soon as I made a change in iCal, the refresh gave that error message.
    Also, I just downloaded the newest OS (OS 5) for my iPod touch (gen. 3).  That was yesterday afternoon.. and yesterday evening is when I first noticed this problem.  I can't imagine it's simply coincidence.
    I just discovered one more thing.  Even the calendars that don't work both ways continue to work one way; changes made on Google Calendar continue to show up in iCal, even though the error message shows up that it can't contact the server or has the wrong address.  It's almost like the relationship has turned into "subscriptions" rather than "delegates".
    I have restarted my iMac and repaired permissions with no success.

  • Can I set all existing events in a ICal Server calendar to 'private'?

    I am consolidating my calendar histories. I have been able to get everything in my iCal Server calendar. But what I'd like to do is set all events before a certain date to 'private' as public/private has been lost for all items. I do want them in the iCal Server and not in a local client side calendar.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Hi, Trevor!
    Did you consult the online DOM documentation for something like that?
    I found the following:
    http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/ww help.htm?href=JS_API_AcroJS.88…
    http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/ww help.htm?href=JS_API_AcroJS.88…
    Using AnnotRichMedia instead of media could be the key. Since media seems to be outdated, deprecated or something…
    I'm out in the dark like you are with Acrobat and JS. Just consulted some of my bookmarks pointing at the SDK of Acrobat.
    Some dummy-code:
    var myRichMediaObjects = myDoc.getAnnotsRichMedia(nPage);
    Properties of AnnotRichMedia object:
    http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/ww help.htm?href=JS_API_AcroJS.88…
    for(var n=0;n<myRichMediaObjects.length;n++){
    myRichMediaObjects[n].activated = false;
    Don't know much about the DOM here. Maybe there is no length property for the object that is returned by getAnnotsRichMedia() ??
    Did not try anything.

  • ICal birthday calendar from Tiger missing after upgrade

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded from Tiger to 10.6.7 Leopard.  I noticed that iCal did not import my Birthday's calendar that I had manually created in Tiger.  None of my birthdays show up except for one when I select "show birthday calendar" in iCal preferences.  I have done the following:
    Removed from Leopard and replaced with my Tiger data the following:
    com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
    com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    com.apple.iCal.plist
    I have also removed the iCal folder in the Application Support folder in my Library.  After I did this I reopened iCal.
    That didn't work so I tried removing the Calendars folder from my Library and reopened iCal to no avail.
    I also rebooted into Tiger on my external to verify that the missing "birthday' calendar is still there, and it is.
    I tried backing it up when I was in Tiger, than rebooting in Leopard and tried importing the backup to no avail also.
    Any other suggestions?
    Edit:  The calendar that I had created "Birthdays" does show up under "On my Mac", but the actual birthdays are nowhere to be found.

    The birthdays for the iCal birthday calendar are taken from your address book
    You will need to have one contact page and one birthday in your address book for each person.
    Otherwise enter the names onto the correct dates in iCal and set them to repeat each year which is what I have done. I run couples and families in my address book.. Most of the Grandkids don't have their own pages

  • When I open ical, the calendar looks like an old desk pad vs what is in the manual.  How do I change the view (not month, day, week), but the background presentation?

    When I open ical, the calendar looks like an old desk pad vs what is shown in the manual or on-line tutorials.  How do I change the view (i.e. background) not the month/day/week view but the background template?  The default in the manual is good.  Software is current - Lion.

  • Sync of iCal to Calendar in iPhone off by 1 hour

    This problem has just come up in a 2 week old iPhone 3GS. When I enter new events in iCal and sync with iPhone, the times are one hour later in Calendar. Appears to match the advance in 1 hour of Daylight Savings Time from Nov. - March. So, entering event on Dec. 1 at 8 AM in iCal yields 9 AM event in Calendar. Help!

    I had the same problem of a 1 hour offset between events on iCal/MobileMe calendars and the iPhone Cal. iCal and MobileMe calendars were right with respect to each other but the iPhone would show that event as an hour later.
    I seem to have solved this issue by the following:
    Go to iPhone Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Time Zone Support
    Change Time Zone Support selector to "OFF" then back to "ON".
    Exit Settings
    NB: NOT Settings>General>Date & Time
    My Time Zone Support selector was "on", however Time Zone showed Etc/GMT -4
    When I selected Time Zone Support to "off" and then back to "on", Time Zone changed to show "New York" (my local area). Calendar events then displayed the same times as iCal/MobileMe.

  • Force Outlook 2011 to use iCal default calendar to synchronize with google

    Here is a problem.
    My default calendar program is Outlook 2011.
    I have an iCal synchronizing with my google calendar and outlook to sync with iCal via Sync Services - so in theory my outlook calendar should be synchronized with Google.
    I setup in iCal's preferences my google calendar as default (because iCal synchronizing only Google calendar not the other calendars on my mac) so at this stage, if I use iCal to add new remainder/appointment it is store by iCal in default calendar (which I setup to be my google calendar) and is synchronizing with goggle calendar right away.
    Synchronizing between iCal and google works fine, however there is a problem with outlook sync with iCal, because Outlook synchronizing all items in iCal with “no category” calendar (which seems to be default and although I have changed in preferences of iCal default calendar to be the google one). Even if I delete all “on my mac” calendars - outlook creates always new one called “no category”, when I try to add new appointment with Outlook.
    So there is question, how to force Outlook (or maybe syncservice) to use my google calendar in iCal as default. I think once it be possible, synchronizing between Outlook and my google calendar (via Sync Services and iCal) works great.
    Anyone knows how to manage it?
    My system:
    Outlook is 14.1.4 version
    MacOs X Lion 10.7.3
    iCal 5.0.2

    Hi Maxulus,
    Did you ever find a soloution to this, as we have the same problem?

  • ICal Shared Calendars

    Is there is a way to password protect iCal shared calendars?

    A quick update: with the December 31, 2007 release of BusySync version 1.5, users can now additionally synchronize iCal calendars outside of their existing subnet using procedures which are outlined here.
    In addition, Mark/Space has announced that a Mac OS X 10.5 and later update will he forthcoming for SyncTogether, and a public beta of the updated application will be available here on or before January 31, 2008.

  • Strange errors with iCal - Google calendar syncing.

    I use iCal and have it sync to my Google calendar. Recently, when creating a new event, the default alert has been coming up as a random number of minutes (eg. 1540, 1100) before the event. It used to just default to 15mins before the event and you could change the alert easily to something else. Now, when I try to change this strange large number it reverts back to how it started as soon as iCal syncs with google.
    This is strange and really annoying. Any ideas?

    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.

  • ICal - google calendar no SMS or Message with sound

    Hello,
    few weeks ago I found that I could not add "Message with sound" alert to my iCal's Google calendar which brings me to no SMS alerts.
    Is it anything wrong with my iCal, Google calendars (I can add Message with sound to iCloud calendars) or it is something Apple/Google recently changed?
    If I add Message with sound alert using iCal - it automatically disappears. However, if I add SMS alert on Google side I have SMS alerts even if it does not reflect anyhow on the corresponding iCal entry.

  • Ical lost calendars with a twist

    I've followed some of the threads about iCal missing calendars and have tried the common solution of deleting the iCal.plist in preferences and also moving the contents of the iCal applications folder in library. Not sure if there is a specific order to this though.
    My situation arose just after I interrupted a decrypt process for filevault (I was running out of time before getting on a plane). Anyway, after this, mail launched and then terminated many times and eventually started in safe mode so I could recover. The XP.hdd file for parallels looks like it was corrupted and won't start (so I'm going to have to reinstall all windows stuff when I get home), AND iCal lost all its calendars (could be due to a corrupt .ics file.
    None of the currently published solutions have led to me recovering my calendars. I have also my calendar on my cell phone which I sync using iSync. There looks like there is activity going on (e.g records being updated etc.) but no appointments appear back in the calendar. This is getting a tad frustrating and as yet no news from apple.
    Any suggestions before I go down the route of manually recreating my electronic diary?

    Fixed with a device reset. Can't remember which post suggested this, but thanks for whoever suggested it.

  • ICal Home calendar missing

    About a week or so ago, my iCloud iCal Home calendar went missing.  It doesn't show up under iCloud at all on any of my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad or iPhone.   I've gone through some of the solutions recommended for getting retrieving calendars, but no luck.
    This calendar had a lot of data in it.  How can I get it back?

    If you have a device backup on icloud, then the following link describes what to do to restore data.  This link talks of Contacts, but the same pertains to calendars.  The trick is to prevent the newly restored data from being wiped by an icloud sync, so pay attention to the stuff about disconnecting the router from the web.

  • ICal home calendar won't sync after iOS 5 -- Snow Leopard

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, my desktop computer's iCal home calendar is no longer syncing events from the iPhone. I'm running Snow Leopard, so I know the desktop computer can't sync through the cloud. But shouldn't it still be getting new events from the iPhone itself when the iPhone syncs with the desktop, same as it used to before iCloud?

    Try something very simple first. Quit iTunes, reboot the Mac and restart the iPad. Then try again.
    I had some issues when I first installed SL on my last MacBook, and I still have issues every now and then with the iPad not being recognized (now running Lion 10.7.3 on a new MacBook Pro) and this has always worked for me. You may have to reboot the Mac a couple of times - but try it and see if it works for you.

  • ICal+iPhone Calendar+Google Calendar and mobile me

    I have an iPhone 3g 2.1.... i am running the most recent version of Mac OSX and i have the newest iCal installed on my mac... My google calendar syncs with iCal through CalDAV. I also have Mobileme and it syncs with iCal. I want to be able to have a sync between iCal,Google Calendars and iPhone. I thought this would work with Mobileme.When i set up my calendar and google calendar it creates a different calendar.... I need the same calendar synced between all three..

    IE: you don't have to sync your iphone with your computer. Instead, when you edit or add an event in your google calendar it will automatically update your iphone's calendar over the cell network, without you doing anything. Also, if you add or edit an event on your iphone's calendar, it will automatically update your google calendar as well. That way, you don't have to mess with ical. Just use google calendar and your iphone's calendar.
    Since you've already got your iCal synching with your google calendar via CalDAV, your iCal will come along for the ride.
    Thus, you can do all this for free, without mobileme, and without even having to plug your iphone into your computer to synch it.
    Go to this website to check out Nuevasync. http://www.nuevasync.com/ You have to sign up for a free account, but it doesn't take long and they won't spam you or anything. Then go to "device setup instructions" and It will tell you how to set it up on your iphone. I've been using it for about 3 months now and it works great. (I don't work for them or anything, just love their service!)

    I've considered using NuevaSync, but it looks like it will use my gmail contacts instead of address book? Is this true? I'd prefer to keep the address book.
    Honestly, If I was able to edit calendars that I have synced with iCal from Google through CalDav(CalDev?) I'd be fine, (Right now iCal syncs with Google and my iPhone synce with iCal), but when I add an event on the iPhone, it doesn't allow me to edit any of the synced calendars. I can only edit a separate, unsynced calendar. Does anyone have any idea how to edit a synced calendar?

  • How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

    How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

    You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
    If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
    If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
    You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
    There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company).
