ICal on .Mac?

Is iCal ever likely to be properly implemented on the web through .Mac? I have always found it incredibly strange that with all this fantastic synchronisation, I cannot simply add new calendar information from within my .Mac account that automatically syncs with iCal on my computer.
There are hundreds of online calendars out there that allow you to add events via the web, is this ever going to happen to iCal?
Please tell me it will be so!!
Does anyone else think this is a bizarre omission from .Mac or is it just me??

Hi,
Try going to the Calendar menu and select "Send Publish Email" Then copy and paste the url frm the email into your web browser's address box. My guess is that you needed to use an upper case 'H' in home. e.g.:
http://ical.mac.com/yourusername/Home
Home is the name of one of your calendars.
It seems to me that iCal is a good app but it is close to useless for people who work in different locations and on PC's as well as Macs. You would think that with a .Mac account at least it would be easy to find your calendar. Also ToDo lists etc. are not published on the Web page, only if you have a Mac and can Subscribe to it. Sort of negates one of the supposed benefits of .Mac.
I am hoping there are 3rd party "real" web apps that allow editing, updating, etc. The calendar file format is a standard so it may be possible to integrate a solution on the web with .Mac and at least iCal. Too bad Apple hasn't done it.
Wait a few months and Google will have "GCal" and then you will be able to forget about using iCal.

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
related problem?
thank
Hein

I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
Below that is:
"From My Mac.
"All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
Hope this helps you.

Error when trying to sync iCal and .mac

Hi all
I'm running iCal 2.0.3 on an iBook with 10.4.3. Every time I try to sync iCal via .Mac, I get the following error:
The protocol „/tmp/gs/isync/3rFduE“ could not be copied or moved to „/Users/gs/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/Compat/DotMacPAPIClient/com.apple.DotMacLegacy/Input /37CFD216-92B7-11D8-9634-003065B36BBE.D000.CLOG“.
(Note: The error message was translated from german).
I trashed the iCal prefs, caches, the folder ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/SyncService and ~/Library/iCal to no avail. Sync works perfect on any other of my Macs, it's just this iBook.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Tina

Never mind - had to do a reinstall anyway, now it works.

ICal and .Mac

How come iCal doesn't work with .Mac the way Address Book, Mail, and Bookmarks do? It seems like I should be able to sync my iCal with .Mac and see it on the .Mac website. Instead I have to publish a Calendar and go to a separate link. Not that big of a deal, but it doesn't support colors and it's not as nice as the Address Book or Mail features of .Mac. It doesn't make sense that on the .Mac welcome page I hit the Mail icon to get my webmail, the Address Book icon to get my contacts online, the Bookmark icon to get my Safari Bookmarks online--but when I hit the iCal icon, it goes to an advertisement about iCal.
I understand the need for a link so others can share your Calendar. That's cool. But you should also be able to access your iCal via the .Mac welcome page. And today's appointments should be listed in the welcome page.

shadowbox,
I agree with all of your astute observations, but since this is a user-to-user forum the best we can do is commiserate with you and recommend that you use iCal Feedback.

Link ical on mac with iCloud

My iCloud duplicated events on my mac. I thought I'd solve it by deducing my ical, exporting, deleting calendar in iCloud, and then uploading export again. Oops - now i have right events on ical on mac, but not linked to icloud cal anymore. How can I link a specific ical on mac to iCloud cal without manually changing all calendar types of events?

I was having the same problem of not being able to sync my ical with my iphone, I tried everything everyone said on the net, but the solution turned out to be different. You have to set up your icloud on both your mac and iphone. And if you are like me your mac wasnt probably setted up.
on Iphone:
settings - icloud - turn calendar on
on Mac:
system preferences - internet accounts - click on icloud and follow the instructions (asks for itunes ID etc)
as soon as both were on icloud, it synced perfectly
Good luck

Since upgrading ical on mac can't sync calanders with older generation touch using 3.1.3os now calander on touch generates blank screen...any ideas

since upgrading ical on mac for .me account can't sync calanders with older generation itouch using 3.1.3os now calander on itouch generates blank screen...any ideas

Thank you for suggesting the link. it seems the problem was even simpler than I had thought had I read the FAQ link of the iCal/me upgrade notification ... Apple's latest version of iCal simply does not support versions of the iOS earlier than 4.2. The device I had been using was a first generation touch... Still working ... with out error in good condition despite having been to hades and back... But no longer supported by the newer versions of the iOS and the .ME ical application...
Another beautiful but orphaned device:-(. Like the absence of support for "ancient" apple operating systems, including their more interesting applications, it is simply no longer supported...one must move on to purchase new hardware and it's associated software to keep up with the evolving cloud os. The blank screen ical problem, on the touch, was corrected by performing the standard start up reboot procedure...with no loss of data and a return of the screen interface in the end. Again another example of the really outstanding past efforts to make robust system products. I will try to put my old touch to good use in its new " retirement" status ...use it some where else, like my original 128k Mac ( that still works as well!). Guess it is time to purchase a newer tool ;-)
Thanks again for taking the time to make the effort to assist

Access iCal on .mac

How can I access my iCal on .mac while on the road?

You cannot, ical calendars do not sync as address book contacts or bookmarks and as a result be viewed on the web interface of your .mac account.
You can however publish your ical calendar(s) via .mac and view them on the web by browsing the url with which they are published from any browser. these published calendars will be read only though. to publish an ical calendar, go to ical>calendar>publish...
The only real syncing of ical calendars via .mac happens when you have two macs that both sync with your .mac account, and as a result of the sync both have the same ical data.
hope this helps

Iphone and Ical on mac do not sync anymore. All my events are in the iphone calendar! How do I backup iphone calendar, and how do I fix the syncronizing problem?

After getting iCloud the iCal on my mac does not sync with my iPhone calendar. All of my calendar notes are in my iPhone (while the mac's Ical remains empty) so I need to backup the iphone version. How?
Itunes says that "your calendars are being syncronized with iphone using icloud" - but the mac's ical does not show any of the new events I have added on my iphone.
I would like to install the new update on my iphone, but I am afraid to do it without knowing that I will be able to restore my iphone calendar. I have made calendar events for many years to come, I and will not risk losing them!
I have been looking for tips online, but the solutions usually suggest that I backup the ical on the mac and start fresh using this version. In other words overwrite iphone calendar with the ical from the mac. Which is not an option. What can I do?

Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

Calendar events on iphone won't sync to ical on Mac since iphone 7.0.2 upgrade

Help! Some events - but not every one - entered into new Iphone SW 7.0.2 do not sync back to the Calendar (v 4.0.4 from ILife 2009). I have tried rebooting my systems (computer and phone), as well as re-creating the problem by adding new test events, and I get the same result: calendar additions nor deletions entered from the Iphone do not sync to the computer. I do not have this problem with Iphoto or other apps in 7.0.2.

update to my original post: after searching since for the past 10 days - I did want to pass along to others with an iphone calendar sync problem the following resource:
Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
This is the preferred solution for problems with sync with calendar and other apps between iphone and MaciOS. This did solve the problem which developed that no items from iCal were copying to Iphone, such as new calendars I would add, but the original problem has not been fixed by this reset.

Older Events in iCal on Mac but not in Mobile Devices

iCal on my Mac has appointments dating back to 2006, while iCal in the cloud and on my iPad and iPhone has appointments only as far back as last year 2011. iCloud is working fine, i.e., everything synchs up quickly and easily as it's supposed to. I'd just like to get the additional five years worth of data on to my mobile devices. How do I do that without screwing everything up?? Thanks in advance!

Called Apple fast track support and problem is resolved. User error, for some reason I had selected the wrong calendar - after selecting the proper calendar on the left sidebar I could create events. Apparently at some time I created a 'todo' mailbox. It had nothing in it and I ended up deleting it so it doesn't get selected again in error.
Took 15 minutes to connect with an ICAL specialist. Once connected received excellent support.

Print ICAL from MAC?

The good news ICAL now shows up on my MAC ---year, after years!!
BAD news won't print (Safari) BOOO

Safari is bad at printing - it is a complex webpage after all and Apple have not setup the print styling correctly for the page, you can continue to fight the issue or look at alternatives to achieve your aim.
Post a bug report to http://apple.com/feedback/ but then you have to wait & hope Apple fix it, who knows when or if that will ever happen.
Do you have these calendars setup in the Mac Calendars application? You must be 'subscribed' to these calendars in iCloud if they are from other users - simply subscribe to them in the Mac calendars application too.
Calendar: Subscribe to calendars
Here is an example from the print preview in Calendars on 10.9 (I don't have many events next xmas)…
The PDF output is great and that would also print well. It has, list, week & day views too.
Mister Jeff wrote:
So I printed it, BOOO HOOO. The other option is to download some other file format, not sure if I want to do that since I don't want to risk messing up the other 4 calendars, excluding mine.
The answer to your 'tears' is out there already - Calendars app prints really well. Sorry if you don't want to hear it, but I don't like watching others 'cry' over issues that are easily solved via a little thinking around the problem.

ICal on Mac 10.7.4 not reliably syncing with iCloud

The past couple of days I noticed a problem with syncing iCal on my Mac running 10.7.4 with iCloud.
My iPad and iPhone sync with iCloud, and the Reminders sync across all devices without any issues.
I also noticed that if I just try to double click on a date (in the month view), it never creates an event, goes into a sync and then blank events show up on iCloud, but never on my Mac where I was actually trying to create the event?
I have checked for updates and have completely restarted my Mac. I have also tried removing and re-establishing all iCloud connections on my Mac. Reminders and older existing events show up fine, just unable to create new events.
Ideas?
UPDATE: I was just doing some testing. It only fails on ALL DAY appointments. Appointments created with time ranges sync fine.

Just figured this out. There is a setting under the iCal toolbar View -> Show All Day Events
I have no idea why that would now be turned off, but it was. Ughh - user error.

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

Hope this helps,

Duplicated events on iCal after .mac sync

Thre facts:
I have a TREO600, a desktop mac, and a powerbook, both running Tiger 10.4.4.
Due to some other problems with syncing the TREO, I have purchased the Missing Sync from MarkSpace, and that works very well to sync the palm with the desktop.
I started syncing my two computers with .mac lately, and I have nothing but trouble. Nearly every sync throws up some conflicts, often about events that have long passed. I went through the long list of conflicts EVERY time this happens, but iSync seems to complain about new conflict nearly everytime I sync.
Moreover, it seems to duplicate certain (but not all) events on my iCal after it has synced with .mac.
This is super annoying. I have seen that there are many different posts on duplication already, but none of them seem to match my problem, though there definetly seems to be a general problem with iSync not being very good at checking for duplicates.
Any ideas how to solve this?
thanks,
marc

Because you are running the Missing Sync for Palm OS in a Mac OS X 10.4 or later environment, the synchronization of your data is a separate process controlled by .Mac Sync. In order to correct the issue, you should perform a reset, replacing all of the records on .Mac with the records from iCal and the Address Book, which should, incidently, be contemporaneous with your Treo 600 smartphone.
To do that, launch System Preferences and select the .Mac pane. Press the Advanced tab, then the Reset Sync Data… button in the lower left corner of the dialog box. Reserve the default directional data transfer from .Mac to your machine by pressing the right-facing arrow beneath the .Mac icon. This will shift directional flow so that data moves from your computer to the .Mac servers. You can keep the Replace: All Sync Data value in the drop-down menu above, or choose to synchronize only one data type [Calendars or Contacts] by selecting the appropriate value. If you synchronize them separately, you must repeat this process for the other data type.
This event will transfer a complete set of records from iCal and the Address Book to the appropriate storage locations on the .Mac servers, replacing the non-matching data currently stored there. It will not affect your continued use of the Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks menu, and will not change the data stored on your handheld the next time you synchronize.
