ICal on Intel won't subscribe

We are running multiple calendars within our corporate environment. We each have our own calendar, which is successfully published to our intranet server.
The problem that we are having is with subscribing to other calendars.
I am using a PowerBook, running 10.4.8, and I can subscribe to anybody elses calendar without any problem.
When my colleagues, running MacBook Pros, try to subscribe to the same calendars, it gets as far as 'Creating Calendar' and then quits.
I wonder if there is a permissions issue, causing failure to write the file?
I have tried creating a new user and subscribing there, but I get the same error.
Why does this work on my PPC PB, but not our new Intel MBP?

It's possible that you need new drivers from HP, in order to be compatible with OS X 10.8.3. Looking at HP website, they haven't released new drivers since last November. You might need to wait for new drivers or contact HP to push for an update.

ICal keeps quitting & won't restart

After syncing iCal and being told there were 5%+ items out of sync, iCal closed and won't reopen at all. Help!

Hi babowa,
I tried sending my project the way you said. I got the message that it would take about 15 minutes to do this. Then the program quit again. No 30 seconds after I tried to send it.
I just spoke with a tech from Apple and he say there is a glitch in my project. He had me try to send a different project using Quick Time and it went right through. He say I will have to build a whole me project and I'll just have to hope it doesn't have a glitch in it. Not what I wanted to here, I have a lot of hours in this project.
Thank you for trying.
I am still open to suggestions for a different app. Preferably one that works

Syncing subscribed private Google Cal to iCal in iOS7- won't show up

I have iOS7 on my iPhone 5. I tried syncing my Google calendars to iCal via accounts in settings and my personal email address calendars all showed up ([email protected]). My school email address (accessed through Gmail, ______@____.edu) is subscribed to a private calendar (that shows up under "Other Calendars" in this Gmail's Calendar tab) that shows our classes etc via Google Calendar. This calendar displays on an app I used to use (Pocket Informant Pro.) I can't seem to figure out how to get this on iCal on iOS7. Any help? Anyone else have this problem?

ICal calendar color won't change

I've tried changing the color for my Work calendar in iCal multiple times. I've done it on my iPad, iMac and finally at the iCloud website. Each time I try to change it, it defaults to purple. Any ideas about this? Thanks in advance.

I just ran into this and it's maddening. I've had the same color Work calendar for years (green), and now it's purple and won't stay green.

Ical reminders list won't sort on iphone

ICal Reminders won't sort on the actual device it was intended for - the Iphone
I just talked to Apple Express service over this problem. I went to the trouble of transferring my to-do list onto icloud Reminders - where each item asked for a priority ranking and where you are then given options for how to sort all the Reminders you entered - so that it can actually be useable as any Calendar/time management system would be. I chose "by priority" of course, but you can also choose alphabetically, etc. It must be said, at least to Apple, apparently, that the point of doing all this is so that the Reminders are available on your actual device - my iphone. The Reminders all synced immediately to the Iphone. However, the Reminders list is an unsorted jumble on my iphone. Even when I tap out a Reminder on my iphone itself and choose a priority, the item remains at the bottom of the list as the last thing I typed in. Apple Express Support "explains" that the priority ranking and the sorting choices are "not supported" on the device you want to use them on - the iphone. They offered me "an article" that explains this in detail. In other words, engaging with the Reminder function and choosing priorities and choosing sort orders is all just a cruel joke wasting your time. I would have been better off just printing off my Reminders list on paper and circling the high priority items in red ink. Oh - but you can't print it out either.
Unbelieveable. Apple's ICal Reminder function actually and actively leads you to engage with completing details and choices that don't even function, or in other words - aren't "supported" on the Apple device they are stated to be designed for. Is there a device on which this function is actually supported? "Not at this time"
The only way to have your to-do list sorted on the iphone is to assign a calendar date for each one of them and then they only appear on that specific date. You would not be able to view your whole list in anything other than the order you happened to enter the items. No calendar/time management system I know of makes you put a date on every item in a task list - some tasks have a due date, but most don't. And every calendar/time management system allows you to sort your list, or view your list in a sorted order. And print it out also.
Apple advertises this Icloud Ical/Reminders system as a time managment tool and fails to tell us that vital functions don't even work on your iphone.

Hello Christiansted,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
In addition to shuffle, you probably have repeat enabled. When you tap the screen or cover art while playing a song, the scrubber bar has the Shuffle button at the right end and the Repeat button at the left end.
If the circular arrows are blue, it will repeat the album or playlist.
If the circular arrows have a small number 1 on them, it will only repeat one song
If they are white, Repeat is off.
The User's Guide explains this on page 63:

Hope that helps,

ICal on Tiger won't start. No crash message.

Hi all,
I installed Leopard on an unsupported 800Mhz G4 iMac. It worked fine but the airport card wasn't supported, so I decided to revert back to Tiger.
So, I did an erase and install, to give me a brand "new" clean system. After the install I downloaded the software updates.
Then I did a sync, replacing all the data on the computer with the data in .Mac. Everything works fine: mail, address book, bookmarks ... BUT ... iCal now won't start. The icon bounces 3 or 4 times, then it stops without another word. Looking in the console log shows that iCal hits a "white space" or "white page" error (I'm not at my machine ATM)
Anybody got any ideas how to cure this? Can I do a reinstall to repaie iCal?
Stuart

Stuart,
.Mac has been suffering maintenance pains since Oct 19, 2007 5:51 AM.
If your problem is related to .Mac sync, and you do not have any other backups, it may be difficult to resolve until .Mac is fully functional.
In the meantime experiment with removing the iCal Plist. This can be accomplished by quitting iCal and dragging the com.apple.iCal.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior. You can delete the iCal plist file on your Desktop.

Ical in leopard won't open

I just upgraded from tiger to leopard. ical won't open. says the app version is not compatible with this version of mac osx. doesn't make sense since ical was supposed to be upgraded with the install. any suggestions.

Elbo51,
I assume that you are using the Dock to open iCal. If so, delete the iCal icon from the Dock and replace it with the iCal application which should be located in your applications folder.
Did you search your HD for other copies of iCal?
;~)

ICal on iMac won't synch with iphone 4 with 4s software update

Help please.
Since I updated my iphone 4 with the software for iphone 4s my ical on my imac won't synch with my iphone calendar. Also events are duplicated. It is driving me crazy as I have to check both clandarsd to ensure I don't miss any events and have to physically re enter them separately into the different calendars.
If the fix involves backing up or anything technical can you please explain fully how I do it as I am not a very experienced mac user.
Thanks
Nicole

"Well, I figured it out. The events that weren't syncing from my laptop to my iPhone were events for which I had changed the "calendar". In other words, I set up some events in iCal, all of which were part off the same calendar, but then I didn't like the color of those events. So I created a new calendar and changed these events by right clicking on them to assign them to the new calendar. Somehow, moving these events from the calendar they were created on to a different one caused them not to be recognized by the sync process. This sounds like a bug to me."

I don't have an iPhone but I get similar entries in Console. I can not sync my calendars between 3 Mac via .Mac. I made entries to iCal on the iMac at work, but this entries never get synchronized to my Mac mini and MacBook Pro. But changes to Address Book for example are synchronized. I can see the entries if I view the calendar with Safari, so the changes go to .Mac, but the other 2 Computers can not get it. Even resetting does not help (replacing calendar data with data from .Mac).

Ical subscriptions error message "Cannot Subscribe"

I have followed all the directions on adding ical subscriptions to iPhone (Yes running 3.0) and I keep getting the following error messages even though I have cut and pasted the ical url into an email.
Cannot Subscribe
Could not subscribe to the calendar "lorenslocum" from "ical.mac.com"
Very perplexed....and any insight would be greatly appreciated!

In getting the answer to my removal question from a poster, I discovered another method to add subscribed calendars, one that includes authentication settings.
If you go to your Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Accounts, click on the Add Account... option. Then select Other at the bottom. You'll next see a screen that includes Add Subscribed Calendar. Once you enter your subscribed calendar's address, the next screen will ask if you have any authentication information required.
Hopefully, this will allow you to get onto your calendar.

My imac intel won't install the installation cds correctly.

I have the white imac intel computer and I tried to reinstall the installation cds that came with the mac because my computer for whatever reason started going slower and slower. The thing is when I tried to reinstall the cds, the first cd did not install correctly. For some reason the first cd counted down the time from 64 hours, it took two days and when it was finished I got a black screen and a lot of error messages. Something about the DNS server, the airport driver isn't installed, and something about the local?. Everytime I try to install the first cd it want start up and it tells me to install the second cd and when I try to install the second cd it won't install. The blue line only goes so far and then it just hangs there and I get more error messages. Is there a way to reinstall the first cd to correct the problems without the computer telling me to take the first cd out and insert the second cd? Or is there something I can do to fix my imac so it will work again?

Hi Evie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Power down the iMac with #1 Install disk in the drive.
Bott up while holding the d key down at boot-up and run the extended Apple HW Test first.
If we still can't boot from the Install disk, Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Where are we now?
We have some serious corruption on the HD, so we're going to try to get it to boot off the #1 disk to fox that.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
Then Safe Boot off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
Safe Boot... holding Shift key down at bootup.

2 iPhones / 2 iCal Calendars : how to only subscribe to 1 each?

My wife and I both keep our lives organized via iCal.
We both have iPhones.
So we BOTH get each other's alerts.
Is there a way to just "subscribe" to individual calendars? Is it something simple that I'm just overlooking?
tia,
e

Try using BusySync. It's not free, but I find it well worth the money. It syncs up Google calendars as well as your local home networked calendars. Allows you to subscribe, share and publish whatever makes sense and is very easy to set up.
I'm not connected in any way with the company, just a happy customer.

IMac (G1 Intel) won't start after having been shut down (for extended time)

I haven't been using 1st generation Intel iMac for about a year and after reconnecting it now it simply won't start. I have tried resetting SMC, no help. Also tried another outlet. The fans are not spinning up, nothing on the screen, no startup chime. It worked perfectly before I shut it down last tiime.
Any ideas what might be wrong, what to troubleshoot/fix?

Have you ever changed the PRAM battery - they run flat after a few years? Not sure if it would prevent booting if it were flat, but possibly.
Try leaving the Mac plugged in to a power socket for a few hours (if you haven't already) and then try again. If it does boot (bit of a long shot) get a new PRAM battery.
