ICal - On the web

Hi, maybe I'm missing something but why doesn't iCal have a web based version that syncs with the home version in the same way that MAIL does. I know that you can PUBLISH to the web, but wouldn't the obvious solution be to also have a web based version that you can access anywhere, where you can add or delete new meetings etc.
You can sync it from and iPhone or iPod Touch, but why on earth can't you change it from another Mac or a PC. Come on APPLE you need to catch up with GOOGLE and the others on this one.
I love OSX but iCal in its current version is definately showing signs of age.

My Wikis and Ical on the WEB give a Server starting up.. message

Wikis (and Ical on the WEB) give a Server starting up... message with the turning wheel. They were working perfect, and yesterday started the problem. I have not changed any of the server settings neither permissions. From Mozilla Firefox on windows throes an Mac OS X server message
500: An internal error occurred trying to process your request. Sorry. Safari gives a Server starting up..
I checked permissions and look ok, root and admin group have read & write access. to
/Volumes/DATA HD/ServiceData/Web/Documents/Collaboration folder and up in the path.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
I tried updating to OS X 10.6.5 but the problem continues.

I am having a similar issue as you marktech, with colaboration folder on a different drive.
My temporary solution is to stop and start web services on the server, and the message goes away and users can log in. Problem comes back on a server restart.
Swamped here so have not been able to apply troubleshooting techniques.
What I have checked is verifying permissions on collaboration folder. Seems like I had to re-apply permissions after any significant update.
My final resolution will be to migrate from the ssd hard drive (the extra speed is not any significant impact for us) to a 1TB hard drive and migrate data back over to a single drive in original directory locations. appologies have not had ample time to research the issues....

ICloud on the web is missing events on iCal, iPhone and iPad

I am using iCloud to sync 3 calendars between my Mac, iPhone and iPad. Bizarrely, all of the events are perfect in iCal on my Mac as well as on the iPad and iPhone. However, when using iCloud's Calendar app on the web it is a patchwork of random events missing. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
Also, with iCal running on the Mac, my Calendar app of choice, Fantastical, displays all of the events perfectly. Once I quit iCal, I get the same random missing events as the web app. Yet, Calendar, Fantastical and any other calendar apps on both my iPhone and iPad always display all the events properly.
This has been driving me crazy. I tried exporting all of my calendars locally, deleting everything on iCloud, creating new calendars and merging in the old data. I got the same end result. I also tried importing the old calendars as completely new ones (not merged) and got the same missing events.
If anyone has any suggestions of something I may have missed, I would be eternally grateful. I can't afford to lose any of my calendar data.

Sign into your account on icloud.com, click on your name, then click on Time Zone. Check that it is the correct time zone and the selected citiy is near your location.

ICal and .Mac - using the calendar on the Web

I had fondly imagine when I filled out my calendar on my home Mac and published it to .Mac that I could not only view it when I am at work (where I have to use a pc) but also add in calendar info that I have have access to only when I am at work, so that the calendar is complete.
If this is meant to be possible I haven't figured out how -can any one help?
If not possible it does seem to detract quite significantly from what might otherwise be a useful tool. In fact I can't imagine why this ability would not be built in as it seems starkly obvious that if you have access to your calendar over the web, you must want to be be able to edit it over the web?? Or have I missed something?

Why oh why doesn't some enterprising person or company (I'm looking at YOU Apple) please make this work. How many people share this problem? I have a PC at work, my finance has a PC at work, we both use our Mac at home.
If there's a way to share out Outlook calendars with our iCal calendars I swear I'd do a happy dance.

How to make iCal Server events viewable on the web calendar?

Hi,
I can create, edit and view events on the web calendar.
I can create, edit and view my own events via iCal.
How can I set it up so we can see all the calendars from our group on the web calendar? It's empty now other than what's entered via the web calendar.
Is there really no integration between the two?

I too thought web group calendar was subscribe only in iCal until I ran across the procedure at
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080410162942908
in the 4th comment down by protean. With a couple of additions I was able to post an event to the web group calendar and have an update on the web post back to the iCal calendar. My additions were needed to get the results as posted in the comment:
1) make sure Enable Calendaring is selected for all group members,
2) refresh iCal to ensure all group members are visible in the Personal Server Calendar Address Pane before adding the group calendar account,
3) add all members in step 3 of the procedure including yourself, however, if the owner of the group (e.g. diradmin) is not a member then don't add it,
4) prior to step 6 of the procedure you can verify the group is visible as in step 8 in the Personal Server Calendar delegation before deleting the group account; if not visible then you don't have to start from scratch, just work with the group account from step 1,
5) the group calendar shows up in the left column list of calendars under Delegates calendars.
So I got this to work.
Then I setup a location in Directory.app with Delegates as the group. It shows up in iCal under Delegates calendar with the error notice
'Error While Refreshing Access to account "location title" is not permitted.'
So there is no calendar available for the location in iCal. The personal iCal account shows the Delegation of location and the Show checkbox is selected. The group is allowed to select the location on the web calendar and in the server iCal calendar. But the location doesn't indicate conflicts in the availability pane. Can someone tell me what might be missing?

Can't access the web but can screen share and secure shell on my network???

Hi,
I don't know if this is relevant, but I installed a security patch along with a safari patch the other day and the next morning, I could not access the internet, however I can do things like screen share and ssh. I cannot however view internal websites on my network, whether I'm connected via airport or ethernet cable (attached to either time capsule or the modem directly). Whenever I try to go to a website in either firefox or Safari, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the internet and a "Network Diagnostics" button (which says it cannot fix my problem). Here is what I've tried:
-Repair Disk (everything OK)
-Repair Permissions
-Restart computer
-Turn Airport card off then on
-Restart modem and routers, one by one in daisy chain order (and then restarted computer)
-Tried different browsers
-Tried connecting directly to modem via Ethernet cable in addition to wireless
-Restored the System from a time-capsule backup from Sept. 6th (noticed the problem on the 10th)
-Turned off my firewall
-Created a new user account and tried it
-Let my computer remain off for a half hour
-Zapped the p-ram
Here's what I've confirmed I CAN'T do:
-Access the web via either Safari or firefox (haven't tried any other browsers)
-Access the Software Update Server
-My iCal calendars cannot access the webdav server
Surprisingly, here's what I've confirmed I CAN do:
-Ping other computers on my network
-Use the Screen Sharing App. with computers on my network
-Access the internet from every other computer on my network (4 of them)
-ssh to other computers on my network
I've been using my computer infrequently lately, and I'm not sure when the last time was I accessed the internet or for that matter when I performed the security patching, but I'm pretty sure it was within the last week and a half. I really don't want to try restoring from an earlier backup, but I'm reaching the end of my rope. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm fresh out.
Rob

The problem was either the Security Patch 2010-005 or the Safari update (though I don't have the version number in front of me). Note, I had ignored the iTunes 10 update. I assume that I must have miscalculated the date I performed the updates because the problem persisted after restore from a Sept. 6th backup off my time capsule.
I went to the Apple Store and they were able to restore full internet access by performing a 10.5.8 combo-update. When we ran Software Update at the Apple Store, the 3 updates were again there available for download, but I am going to ignore them all because of this issue. The people at the apple store agreed that it was the update which caused the problem.

How can I access a shared calendar from the web ?

Hi !
I use OSX SL, iCal 4.0.4, MobileMe.
When I share an ical calendar, I can not access it from the web. I can share it with other ical users, but can not find the correct url to access it from Safari. I have been searching the net and find suggestions, but all of them is about using the url stated in the share-dialog. When I share a calendar, there is no url for web access.
Hope someone can help.
Sveino

There is a method for publishing a MobileMe calendar to a web page (as can still be done with an 'On My Mac' calendar, though of course that won't sync to other devices).
The method is almost a hack, and depends on what appears to be a bug in iCal, so there is no guarantee that it will work, or continue to work, or won't cause problems. Also it appears that once published the calendar cannot be removed from the web page, even if the original is deleted.
With those caveats in mind, please see this web page:
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/icalpublish.html
Note that there is a simpler method, involving exporting your MobileMe calendar as an .ics file, re-importing it as an 'On My Mac' calendar, and publishing it in the usual way. However of course it won't update if you update the MobileMe version, and if you make it the only version then of course it won't sync to MobileMe. It's one or the other, or use the hack described above.

Publishing iCal group to web WITH colors

Here is my problem. I can publish my iCal group to the web and view the group calendars just fine, but the colors do not show up in web view like they do in the application.
What am I doing wrong, or is there a solution?
Thanks!

Johnny,
There is nothing that you are doing wrong.
What you are observing is simply a limitation of the publish feature.

Can I see my to do`s list from ical on the iphone?

I use iwork 08 and I allready have a to do list on my ical, but in my iphone after sync I only see my calendar, contacts, etc. but not my to do list. How can i see it?

I use a combination of Toodledo.com (a free online To Do manager, though I upgraded to their $15/yr "Pro" service) and an app for the iPhone called "Todo" (oddly enough) by Appigo. This iPhone app syncs perfectly back and forth to Toodledo.com and of course you can manage your to do list via Safari on your Mac or any browser from anywhere (like Internet Explorer at work, airport, etc). It costs $9.99 from the iTunes store, but its well worth it. Less structured than OmniFocus (which is overkill for me) and works via the web so I can access my data from anywhere on any device.
Also, through Toodledo.com you can subscribe to a shared iCal calendar that contains your To Do list - so, while you can't edit through iCal (must edit on the web at toodledo.com or on your iPhone via Todo or the toodledo.com iPhone-specific webpage), you can SEE your to do list on the side pane of iCal.
Works very well, actually. At the least I can see my to do list when iCal is open, and the web app is very easy to use. And Appigo's iPhone app Todo is very well written and has a great interface. There is also a Dashboard widget you can download that lets you manage your to do list.
And Appigo also has an app called Notebook which also syncs notes back and forth to Toodledo.com ($4.99 I believe from iTunes).
(I have no relationship with Appigo, but I did buy both of these app and I think they're well worth the price).

Embedding iCal calendars in web pages?

Is it possible to embedded your iCal calendars in web pages (either a .mac page or a privately owned page)?

You can publish calendars live to both .mac and webdav enabled private servers.
It becomes difficult to place other content on the same page.

Publishing iCal on the .Mac

I want to publish my iCal to the .Mac and know how to do this, but I have different categories like school, work, sports, appointments, and other things and when I publish them to the iCal I have a different web sites for each category. I want to publish all of my events onto one iCal page on the .Mac server, is this possible?

George,
Choose File>New Calendar Group and then drag your individual calendars to the group. Publish the Group (Make sure the name is a single word).

Unable to access calendar, because the web service is configured incorrectly

When attempting to access my web based calender I recieve the following error, "Unable to access calendar, because the web service is configured incorrectly." I have both the web service and iCal server configured to use SSL.
Thanks for any help

I have the same problem, with a temporary solution :
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=111059
In the Server Admin - iCal Server Settings page there's a place where you specify the ports to be used, 8008 without SSL and 8443 (? out of my memory, not sure) for SSL.
The issue was caused because left of the SSL port I selected "redirect" instead of "use".
After I changed that it worked right away.

Ical, caldav and Web proxy.

Hi,
I have configured ical with an external caldav server. The caldav URL server is reachable using http or https. The synchronization works fine at Home where I don't use web proxy to access to Internet. But at work, even if the network is properly configured with the proxy (Safari is working fine with the proxy configuration), ical seems to not be able to use the web proxy. Then, the synchronization is not working at work.
Is there any limitation for ical/caldav to work through web proxy?
Thanks.
LauDai.

I have exactly the same problem. A network expert suggested that the problem could be in the proxy. The CalDAV protocol used by iCal is an extension to the standard HTTP protocol, and apparently not all proxies can deal with the extensions. I don't know if there is a way to check if this is the cause of the problem.

ICal calendar on web page.

Hello, all.
I am working on a web site and would like to have an iCal calendar I have created for this website displayed on one of its web pages. I have seen something similar done with Google Calendar. The pages displayed Google's calendar one month at a time with arrows on both the left and right sides so that users could browse through the different months.
Is there a way to do this with iCal ? Can I embed a calendar or perhaps a link to an iCal so that my web page will display it in a similar fashion ? In case it is possible how would I control its size and position on the page ?
In case the information is relevant I am using iWeb to design the site but can also edit the html page created by iWeb with Dreamweaver if necessary to include any code required for this to work.
Thanks in advance.

I did managed to publish mine in the 'old days' using the snippet and some html text - now with then new ical, I can't seem to be able to repeat this.
The old way, I could obtain a web address for the selected published ical and then I would use the following html snippet (on iWeb):
<iframe src="http://ical.me.com/YOURDOTMENAME/CALENDARNAME" width="750" frameborder="1" height="1100"></iframe>
"750" and "1100" being the width of the frames...
Now it does not work anymore as I can't obtain the 'web address if the shared calendar - only an ics file is available...
If anyone has resolved this, please let us know!
Thank you.

Cannot send email from Verizon to a specific domain using the web UI

I'm trying to send an email to a specific address on a domain I own from a Verizon account using the web UI. Whenever I click send, a popup appears saying "Your e-mail contains the following invalid e-mail addresses:" followed by the email address. I can send email to this address from a GMail account as well as my work email.
In Chrome, I can see that a "code":1002 error is being produced.
Does anyone know why this would happen? Does Verizon check destination domains for reputation? Is there any way to debug this further?

What is the domain that is giving you the error?
