ICal published calendar : wrong times !

Hello all
I succesfully published my "work" iCal schedule on the internet via .Mac, but although the times of events are correct on my "home" iCal (ie the one on my computer), those on the web are wrong ! (9 hour difference)
I have checked everything, and can't find the problem...
anyone ?
thank you

This is a stab in the dark - but have you checked the timezone where your web-based server is physically located? Could iCal be adjusting your calendar to the actual timezone recorded on the server you're using? f there's a 9-hour difference then that's a start point.

Ical birthday calendar wrong dates

Hello,
I have an issue with iCal regarding the birthday calendar.
It works pretty fine syncing with address book, but it ads the birthday obviously twice. The birthday itself and the day before the birthday. When refering the URL in iCal it directs me to the Contact card of the person and there is only the correct date.
Why does iCal do that? And more important, how can I solve that problem and remove all the wrong dates? Because it is anoying to have birthday reminders for people twice. It also looks pretty dumm in the notification center of Mountain Lion. With two birthdays of the same person in a row. Mostly it has one year difference as well, so the same person turns lets say 29 the one day and 30 the other.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
I've just checked forward into 2014 and I see that it doesn't re-occur then.
Strange, it's just one person and it's only happening in 2013. Their birthday is on 31st March and there's and entry for 31st Mar and 1st April.
I'm not going to worry about it anymore.

ICal alerts at wrong time

I have an event set for 3:05 everyday. Yesterday it went off at 3:24 and today it alerted me at 3:14! I've never had problems with iCal with my old iBook G4. Now I have a new Macbook Pro and have had nothing but problems with iCal. Any ideas about it going off at arbitrary times?
Thanks.

I just ran a test with my colleagues. Some have the meeting show up at the right time in the calendar view and others do not. I cannot find a Date and Time setttings or Calendar settings or version of OS that is a common denominator.
The way the attached image is showing, it appears that Calendar thinks the meeting was set during PST (11:30 am), not PDT (12:30).
Looking at my WebEx settings, it also says that the timezone is "Pacific Daylight Time" (like my computer):

ICal: Publish calendar via AppleScript?

Does anyone know if it's possible to publish a certain calendar in iCal by using AppleScript? (Without, it's no problem...)
I have tried all the [to me] obvious things, but can't figure it out. There are no suitable functions listed in the Applescript menu.
Any suggestions welcome...

Hi Roger,
you are right, I didn't know there was this possibility.
Thank you very much for you help.

Sync iCal - iPhone Events - Wrong Times

Sync'ed my iphone. Calendar events displayed on iPhone have incorrect times. Don't see a pattern in the appt time shifts.

turn off timezone support under date and time and see if it helps

Does anyone know how to get the iCal Published calendars not to timeout?

Message is:
Error while updating.
Request to ical.mac.com failed after trying for 30 seconds.
I've read every other forum and am amazed this has not been solved. It should be a slam dunk. Do I need a better iCal?

Hi Greg,
i have exactly the same problem.
Have you find any solution for that?
Thx

Some events appear at wrong time when publishing to web

When I publish my calendar and then view it on the web, events I have created myself in iCal are shown at the correct time, but any events I have recieved from Evolution (the email/calendar application my colleagues use) as an .ics file are shown exactly 8 hours later than they should be. Perhaps it's a coincidence that this is the exact time difference between the UK (where I live and work) and West Coast USA?
Just to make it clear: all events appear correctly in iCal and, if I send a subscribe email to myself and then subscribe to the published calendar, they also appear correctly in iCal. The only place where they appear at the wrong times is in the http://ical.mac.com/<username>/<calendarname> address, and it's only events that I have recieved via email.
Is there a workaround for this that doesn't involve asking my colleagues to change settings on their Ubuntu workstations? Perhaps it's a problem with Apple's ical website that they need to fix? Either way, it makes the business of publishing my calendars largely useless.

Bernard Harte wrote:
It's likely that the problem is due to an incompatibility between the way that the two systems define time zones.
This is what I thought, but iCal itself seems to cope with this, whereas the .Mac iCal web server doesn't, which is a shame.
I suspect that you don't have time zone support switched on in the Advanced tab of Preferences. If you don't, try switching it on and then looking at one of your events and one of the rogue ones in the edit window. You'll probably see a difference in time zones - i.e. that the rogue ones are in US Pacific zone.
I switched on time zone support, but it didn't change any of the events in iCal at all; i.e., the "rogue" events still show at the correct time (and the incorrect time on the iCal web server).
If this guess is correct, you will need to get your colleagues to change their time zone since iCal and ical.mac.com are behaving as they should.
They are all on the same timezone as me - Europe/London (which is currently on DST).
If the guess isn't correct, report back and we'll work on a solution
Then I look forward to hearing from you!

Remove "time" from Month view on Published Calendar

I am trying to remove the time from published calendars when in the "Month" view. The time is not showing on ical on the computer... but shows up on the published calendar. This is taking up tooooo much room on the calendar.
Thank you for any assistance.

Hi HWTheoB,
In my opinion, you could add a content editor web part to your listview page, then in the "source editor" property of your CEWP you can type <style>.ms-cal-monthitem
B {display:none}</style>.
In addition, for the similar issue, you can refer to the following threads, although it is for SharePoint 2007, but you can get some hints from these articles:

Published Calendar CHanging the Time of Events

I am using iCal 4.0.4 on my MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.5. I have both personal and work related calendars in iCal. The personal calendars sync to mobile me very successfully and from there to my mobile devices. The problem is with the calendars which are stored on "On My Mac" which I want to publish to a website via Mobile me. In the past this was simple, however after having an overhaul of our calendars, I noticed that the published calendars were all 8 or 9 hours ahead of the correct time. I have followed the advice on the support pages regarding setting time zones and nothing is working. I have tried using floating and that doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestions?
Thank you

Thanks for the reply and the suggestions. I changed the time of a Powershot file in Elements and used the file/write metadata to files as you suggested but with the same outcome - an hour's difference between what is in Elements and what is recorded on the hard drive. The messages stated metadata safely saved to file. I also checked the file properties - achive was ticked not read only....

Outlook iCal Challenged: notifications at wrong time on .mac

When my virtual assistant sends a notification from her pc using Outlook, they import cleanly into iCal. No prob.
When I sync to .mac those notifications appear at the wrong time. Or not at all.
Any clues around this?

Not sure if it will help you, but I figured out my problem. The person with whom I was exchanging calendar entries was also "sharing" a calendar with me through iCloud. She was receiving the calendar entries that I invited her to directly from iCloud -- as opposed to from my email address. Her computer, a PC, was incorrectly processing these calendar entries. To fix this, I just ended the "shared" calendar. Now, when I add her as an invitee to calendar entries, she receives the invite from my email address--as opposed to from iCloud. The problem is resolved. Good luck.

ICal won't update published calendar

I have a published calendar on .Mac and when I update in iCal, it won't update on my .Mac account. Also it shows that the published date is Dec 31, 1969. I have checked my date and time on system preferences. I have deleted and recreated this calendar, and it has not solved the problem. I have even unpublished and published several times, all to no avail. I have iCal 2.0.2 installed. Anyonw else come across this problem?
Thanks.

When you publish, is "Publish changes automatically" checked? This would explain why updates don't happen. Also in .Mac system preferences under the "Sync" tab, there is a choice of how often to sync. Even if this is set to "Automatically" the sync isn't instant. Check this setting. I don't know if it affects published calendars or not, but worth checking nonetheless.
I wonder if in the Date and Time system preference ("Date & Time" tab) you have "Set date & time automatically" Checked?
Mine publish fine, no problem: http://ical.mac.com/dancingbrook/Social
Still no solution for web To Dos though perhaps via a webDAV server? Try:
http://www.icalx.com/
Also, can I assume you've tried trashing your ical preferences? ~/Library/Preerences/com.apple.iCal.plist

Published Calendar has same event multiple times

Hi, I have created a calendar group with four sub groups on iCal. On iCal, each event shows up only one time. However, when I published the calendar and went to check on it...each event is on each date a min of 3x, up to 15x...
what's up? how do I fix this????
thanks

I am Tiger 10.4.2 iCal 2.0.2 and having the same problems. I haven't found a way to prove this, but I think iCal publishing is only smart enough to deal with 1 Mac. My problem started when I turned on .Mac syncing for iCal. My .Mac account is syncing my three macs (1 home, 1 powerbook, 1 powermac at work) and guess what? My appointments show up THREE times.
Does anyone know if Apple is looking into this unexpected side effect from .Mac syncing published calendars? If not, I will give them a call on the phone to escallate this. I am guessing that there are multiple scenerios that make .Mac get confused and essentially treat a duplicate as if it was unique.

ICal won't publish calendar to mobileMe... ideas?

I've used iCal for years but since the changeover to me.com I can't get my iCal calendars to publish. When I click on "Publish calendar" it says it's published successfully, but when I click on the visit page button I get "page not found" error message.
Anybody have any ideas?
MJM

bnance,
...are you saying your published calendar can currently be accessed from your ical.me.com link and that just ours is not working or was your answer a theoretical one?
Mine works as advertised. I did have to unpublish, but that was in July. The calendar has auto published without problems since that time.
The common clue that I notice between the OP and your system is that neither has been updated to the most current version of OS X available for the Tiger/Leopard. I would therefore advise updating these systems using the appropriate Combo Update (OS X 10.4.11/OS X 10.5.5).
Good Luck.

HT200196 iCal reminders are clogging up my computers, iPads and iPhone. When I view the Calendar list in iCal, it seems it has added a new calendar every time an event is added. I have a calendar list that has grown to over 100. How do I remedy this?

My laptop, iPad, and iPhone are being clogged by repeated iCal alerts. Every time an event is added, it seems another Calendar is also added. When I view the Calendar list in iCal, there are over 100...and the number is growing. They can not be deleted with a simple "Select all" or "Delete All" and, when deleted individually, the list quickly grows to huge numbers again rapidly. How do I keep this from happening and eliminate the excessive number of calendars?

Publish calendars in iCal 4.0.4?

In one of the recent upgrades, iCal changed from publishing calendars to "sharing" them. I want to embed an html snippet with my iCal in it, but if I can no longer publish my calendar it won't work. Is there a way in iCal 4.0.4 to publish a calendar, or at least embed a calendar in my iWeb? The way all of Apple's other programs interface so easily, I'd think this would be simple to do, so I hope I'm missing something here.

Also looking to "Share" the content of an iCal calendar to my regular website. Since upgrading my calendars my previous solution using InstaCal stopped working. Anyone have an answer ??????
