ICal opens with Delegate Calendar

I made a few changes to my iCal installation, trying to retrieve some Exchange calendars that I have shared access to and get my calendar colors to match on my iPad and iPhone.  Now when I open iCal, it defaults to a shared Google calendar, rather than my main calendar view.  What did I change, and how can I change it back?  I've already tried closing the program with the main calendar view open, no change on the next open.

Found my own solution right after posting my question...I selected my delegate calendar from the window menu, and simply "closed" it.  Now iCal opens with the main calendar view.

    How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar?

    And the additional problem is that once you give in and go iCloud, no rep will tell you there are iCloud limits on iCal's size, so that if you're calendar is say 10 years old, with 10 events per day, and there's a 25K event limit, it won't work, even if you buy all the storage in the world. Which means that's syncing is OVER.
    So far I've tried three calendar alts: Fantastical (rated one of the top iCal alts); Pocket Informant (allegedly capable of superpowers); and Calendars. Not a single one is able to do the one simple task of
    1) integrating an ical ics file,
    2) placing a calendar program on the desktop and the iPhone
    3) keeping them both in sync.
    And Google's cloud has even more restrictions than iCloud, and for frack's sake why can't I keep a calendar off the net?
    This is really getting to annoy me. Chelsea, a tech support supervisor, offered that if I pay $99/year I can become a developer and get the next beta iTunes which will allegedly offer local syncing. Great.

  • Calendar Invitations Using iCal Synced with Google Calendar via Exchange

    I have a very complicated system set up for syncing multiple calendars. I use CompanionLink to sync my work Lotus Notes calendar to iCal. I then sync my Google Calendar and my husband's Google Calendar to iCal via Exchange. I've recently added the iCal step as a way to get push notifications. That's the only reason I've gone to iCal as I have CalenGoo on my iPhone and it's been working great up to now. However, the only notifications it can do are through email. I have 2 questions.
    First - using the iCal program on the iPhone, I tried to invite attendees for a meeting. No invitations were sent. Is there something that has to be set up to make this happen? Also, is it supposed to be sending them through Google or through my own email (mobileme is the primary email account on this phone)?
    Second - Is it possible to mark events as Private or Public? I don't want personal events to show up in my work calendar so that others can view them.
    Thanks!

    I am having the exact same problem with my ipad 2. Hope someone can help....

  • Ical office 365 delegate calendar view

    Hi
    People in my company have combination Mavericks 10.9.5 and Office 365 small business.
    We are using Exchange sync account.
    People share calendars (read only) and some users have own calendar and about 15 calendars other colleagues (from delegation).Plus some Google, iCal etc calendars.
    Mostly happens that when user have selected own calendar, 2-3 other people in iCal  then after restart/sleep Mac show iCal ALL calendars after.
    People are very angry becouse thay have to change selected calendar
    Is it some way to fix selected calendars ?
    Thanks

    I've been battling this ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion. One moment I can fiddle with it and it works. The next day, it may quit syncing. Or, it may go a month or two before melting down again. It's driving me nearly insane. Apple truly needs to address this. Outlook is a dog with fleas that can't hunt for crap. I loaded it in desperation. It *****. Please Apple, fix iCal syncing to Exchange!

  • How to over-write iCal data with iPhone calendar data?

    As of tonight, my iPhone 4's calendar will not merge to my iMac.  The Mac with push to the phone, but not the other way around.  I know for a fact that the "correct" calendar is the one on the iPhone (lucky this week I know that!), so I'd like a way to over-write the computer version with the iPhone.
    So, problems to solve:
    (1) Tell me how to reset the sync history in the newest version of iTunes
    OR
    (2) Tell me how to over-write data as described above (and pray it works the next time bi-directionally)
    OR
    (3) Point me to a fix for the original non-sync problem that I haven't discovered yet.
    Your help is GREATLY appreciated as I've spent WAY more time on this than intended already.  1 minute sync --> 4 hour issue.
    Thanks!
    [iPhone 4 with 5.1 and Calendar; iMac with 10.6.8 and iCal 4.0.4]

    Greetings,
    Basics:
    Turn iPhone and computer off and on and try again.
    Ensure date and time on iPhone and computer are the same and try again.

  • I can't sync my new mac iCal events with Yahoo Calendar

    I just download an icalendar format file to my iCal account.  The events show up under my yahoo account calendar, but the events are not synched with the yahoo calendar on the web, or on my iphone or ipad for that matter.  Any ideas?

    Sounds like you haven't updated your Sync account for the new version of Sync that was released with Firefox 29.
    See this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

  • ICal opens with different window view

    My iCal recently started to open in the USHolidays view instead of the "normal" iCal view, which displays my events, etc., that we've entered.  We can easily switch the view to iCal view under the dropdown menu under Window.  But... would rather avoid this inconvenience every time I go to check my calendar...  Any ideas on how to correct this would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Close all apps, then navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder and look for a file called com.apple.ical.plist once you locate the com.apple.plist file drag it to your desktop. Then restart in SafeMode again and then re-boot normally and try opening iCal. The .plist file is a preferences file and it may have become corrupt and just needs to rebuild which will happen automatically when you restart iCal.

  • ICal sync with Yahoo Calendar Beta ( 2 way) REDUX

    I'm bringing back an issue that was archived recently even though it was not resolved.
    Here it is: I (as well as many other people) am trying to sync iCal and Yahoo calendar. I followed the Yahoo instructions given here:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calendar/yahoocalendar/sync/sync-03.html
    But it only goes one way; when I add something to the Yahoo calendar it shows up in iCal, but when I add something to iCal it never shows up in Yahoo.
    People keep saying to just follow the instructions and it will go both ways but for me AND MANY OTHERS it simply does not.
    I've spent over an hour researching this, and this is a real live problem for a lot of people, going all the way back to 2008. I've seen dozens of different people saying they have this problem and I have yet to see a single solution aside from repeating the same instructions that do not work (for everybody).
    Some of the discussions focus on iCal's "Calendar" calendar vs. "Work" and "Home" calendars, claiming only the "Calendar" one will sync. If that's true then it is beyond stupid and is totally useless to me and thousands of others. But I doubt it's true because I have tested it; I've created events in "Calendar," "Work," and "Home," and none of them sync back to Yahoo.
    How can this be such a common problem and yet nobody has a solution? (At least not one that makes sense...)
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated by me and many others!
    (Sorry if I sound a bit grumpy; this stuff can be really frustrating!)
    Thanks!

    ...one more thing; in Yahoo calendar, on the left-hand side where the calendars are listed, it only lists my Yahoo calendar, plus US holidays and Canadian holidays. It seems to me that my iCal calendars should be there too. How do I get them there? (That seems to be at the heart of it.)
    There's an item to "subscribe to calendars" where you can enter an "iCal address," and the example they give is this:
    http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/sfo/ical.ics
    That's a yahoo address, not an iCal address. And regardless, how do I find the iCal address for my three iCal calendars? ("Calendar," "Home," and "Work"). And besides, is this for syncing, or just viewing some external calendar?

  • Trouble with iCal syncing with iPhone calendar

    When I create events or meetings on iCal on my Mac, they don't appear on my iPhone 4 anymore. Anyone help please

    Hey Thanks for your suggestion, however, and this may be part of the problem, I
    accidentally deleted the software a little while back thinking I did not need it.
    So, any suggestions on how I can get a download of iSync. I do not have Time Machine
    running currently, so, that option is gone. So, do you have any other suggestions.
    Thanks...

  • Synchronize iCal with Exchange Calendar

    The answer may be somewhere else, but there are too many post to get through to find the answer.
    Previous to Tiger, I had it where my iCal synchronized with my calendar in Exchange. Once I installed Tiger, I cannot find this option, and my iCal is not synchronizing any longer with my Exchange account. Everything else synchronizes just fine.
    Where is the option to turn this back on? I've searched through the iCal prefs, Mail prefs, iSynch prefs, .Mac pref panel, etc., cannot find the option to turn this back on.

    Yeah, it's a real pain.
    I had been using GroupCal but feel hesitant to use the 2.5beta - it would be be nice to know how far off 3.0 is.
    What I have discovered with Apple Mail/iCal though is that the fault seems to be in how Apple Mail deals with the initial meeting request on the Exchange server. When you look in your Exchange Calendar folder in Apple Mail you get a URL that doesn't work. (I have just seen the note about Apple-[ so will try that soon)
    What I do currently is get my outlook mail onto my PocketPC and either accept or give tentative acceptane to meeting requests. I then see the appropriate .ics files in the Calendar folder when viewing via Apple Mail and can click on the file to create the appropriate iCal event. This event then shows up correctly, as you would expect of an Outlook event including attendees and meeting status - which you can change in iCal.
    There is something simple that Apple seems to be missing here.

  • Difference between syncing iCal with .me Calendar and publishing my iCal

    Hi everyone,
    This is probably kind of simple for most, but I'm actually just learning about iCal and how I can centralize my calendars in iCal on Calendar at .mac (or .me I guess). The Help section doesn't really address the confusion I have. So thanks for any insight you can share.
    1. What is the difference between syncing my iCal with Calendar and publishing my iCal to .me?
    2. I just added a new event to iCal. Then I clicked on a sync button (via the sidebar of my local iDisk). But when I checked Calendar, that new event wasn't there. Does anyone know why and then what to do to make it appear?
    3. When/If I add a new event while I'm at Calendar, how do I make sure it appears on my iCal? Do I follow the same local iDisk sync routine?
    4. Can my 2 friends and I log on to my account at the same time to view my Calendar while we're all on our laptops.
    Thanks a lot you guys.

    Ok, I wonder if you could help me with a similar but different problem. I have been using iCal now for awhile but only recently started using Google Calendars (once I found out they could both be synced together). Anyway, I understand how to set up the sync, it's very simple especially following the link that you already provided. But, I have three calendars for personal, school, and work already in iCal that are in the default group that iCal starts with of "calendars".
    Anyway, when you create a new account in iCal to set up the syncing, it creates a whole new calendar group. I had never had an "account" before, so all my three main calendars are separate from this new account. Is there anyway to move or duplicate those calendars into my new calendar group so that I can have one flowing set of synced information between google and iCal without manually retyping all of the information myself? I have tried dragging the calendars down into the other group and all you can do is reorder them within the group they're already in. Even a duplication would work, if that is possible (to duplicate a whole calendar).
    Any insight from anyone would be incredibly helpful.
    Thanks a ton,
    Zac

  • When I open iCal all my delegate's calendars are checked every time.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks when i open iCal or even just maximize it from the dock all my delegate's calendars are checked. My whole work team (8 people with multiple calendars) are listed as delegates so each time I have to uncheck them all to see mine only. I do need to see their calendars at time but never all at once which seems to be the default in this new version. I've scoured the preferences looking for something that I may need to change but have been unable to remedy the issue. I've attached a screenshot. Thank you in advance!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • Need help trying to have more than one delegate calendar display in iCal and on mobile devices

    I have several calendars that are under my user name in Google. They all work as delegates and life is good.
    I'm trying to set up the local school with a calendar for the sports schedule as well as a separate one for district events like school board meetings and would like to be able to add one for the holidays, exams and things of that nature. The sports calendar works but I can't figure out how to add the second caledar to iCal or my iPhone. It shows shared but doesn't appear as a possible delegate in iCal and will not load on the iPhone.
    Google has the output to allow more than one calendar to display on a website but syncing at the level I want with the "i" apps isn't obvious.
    Am I missing something? I really don't want one very cluttered master calendar for the school. Being able to turn on and off the various types of calendar will make it much easier to manage.

  • In ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Lion has changed the way reminders (todos as was) work. They now seem to need to be in a seperate calendar.
    In iCal open the File menu and select New Reminder List... and select where to put it.

  • ICal is no longer syncing with google calendar

    I keep getting the error that the url is incorrect when syncing ical with google calendar. It just stopped working today for some reason!
    When I look at the settings I see it adds an extra / at the end of the server path. When I delete that it syncs ok once only and then reverts back to the same problem! Help as I use this calendar to sync with google calendars on my imac so that i have the same calendar on my android phone!

    the same is happening to me.
    All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
    My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
    Any ideas anyone ?
