ICal publishes event before done editing

I have several calendars that publish to icalx.com. When I add a new event and start typing, ical publishes before I am done editing the event. Then I have to double-click or command-E to edit the event and finish it.
I have those calendars set to publish automatically, though if I can't solve this, I would change it back to manual to avoid the hassles...

Perhaps you've just updated your OS and now have the newer version of iCal which is ***** compared to the faster, more elegant older version. The older iCal presented every event's details in a ready to edit format just by clicking on the item in the calendar.
Now you have to double click that item you're interested in (one two) to get a window that shows you the item's details. Then, to edit, you must click the 'edit' button (three) upon which another editable window will allow your event details to be edited. Finally, after finishing your edits, you must click 'done' (four). Yes, that's right, 4 clicks to do what used to require only the initial click to specify which event you wanted to edit.
Four times as many clicks for a utility application that has no further improvements, only this annoying change from what was once a very efficient tool.
I do hope a future "update" will bring back the elegance of the older version with some true improvements.

ICal updates syncs event before I can finish editing it

When I create a new iCal event, it automatically syncs- even before I can typically add a correct time, location, etc.
This would be fine, except for the fact that people I share a calendar with then get multiple notifications for the same event (when created, and when edited with the final event info)
Is there a way to stop it from pushing this to the cloud before I'm done editing a new event?

This is incredibly frustrating for me too!
I have a repeated monthly event for a discount at a store that is offered on the first Tuesday of every month. So I have a repeated event taking place on the 1st of every month. In the previous month I reset next month's date from the 1st to whatever date falls on the first Tuesday.
But ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I am experiencing the same problem as the original person who posted. The date saves on my calendar but does not sync to my iCloud. When I reboot the computer, the date reverts back to the 1st.
I'm thankful I don't have any events that needed to be tracked because ALL of my previous changes in the past have reverted back to the 1st of the month. I would have been in the same terrible situation as yaz999 in having to manually change every event in previous months.
Why hasn't this bug been fixed yet???!!!

Syncing iCal reccuring events created before DST

I have a problem with my iCal reccuring events created before the transition to Daylight Saving Time. On my iPod nano they appears to stay as if they were still before DST shift (in non-DST time zone). For instance, if I have a weekly meeting at friday 5:00 PM, I expect it to be 5:00 PM independently of whether I'm in a DST-shifted time or not. On my iCal everything seems to be fine: the meeting is still 5:00 PM, but my iPod nano thinks that the reccuring meeting should be DST-independent (6:00 PM).
Temp workaround: Settings > Date & Time > Set Time Zone > Set a time zone without DST. However, after syncing, the timezone will be resetted to DST anyway.
Hope this issue will be fixed in future iPod software releases.
iBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.5) iPod nano 4GB white, s/w 1.1.1

I am having the same or a similar problem.
I use iCal on Snow Leopord and can't seem to get calendar events to sync when created in iCal with my BB or those created on the BB to show in iCal.
I use gmail, and have gmail added as the only account in iCal.
When I connect my BB via USB, Desktop Manager indicates that one of the selected calendars is read-only and can only be synchronized from my computer to my device. How do I correct this?

ICal shuts down when I edit an entry, without taking the edit

Since installing Leopard on my Macbook, I have had a whole list of problems. Here's one: iCal shuts down when I edit an entry. In particular, I'm trying to remove an alarm from a recurring event. I click "none" and then before I can click "done" the whole program shuts down.
Help!

I am still using OS X 10.4.10. Since this weekend I ma unable to do anything with ICAL. As soon as I try to make a change, it crashes. I have tried reinstalling, etc. Any suggestions?

Ical - deleted events prevent from syncing with missing sync

When I try to sync ical with my windows mobile 5.0 running Motorola Q via Missing Sync, I always encounter an error message that one of my ical-events prevents Missing Sync from an error-free sync.
This message comes up when I start Missing Sync: "iCal is reporting synchronization errors. One or more calendar events may not have synchronized properly from iCal. Errors may prevent this application from completing a successful synchronization."
The Missing Sync Protocoll rerfers to an event which I did already delete. So here's the question: how do I really get rid of a ical event which I have already deleted?

Same here. After the update to 10.5 I have succesfully done one sync between my Treo and iCal using MissingSync. Now iCal gives an error, see below. What is the workaround? Downgrading to 10.4.x? Or get an iCal 2 somewhere and run that?
I really want to get my ToDo and Calendar data from my Treo before I go from my Treo 650 to an iPhone. Any workaround is welcome.

ICal Duplicate Events After Upgrading to Snow Leopard

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I noticed almost all my Events were duplicated. The Duplicates were collected from all calendars and are in one of the Calendars (Paul Events). Strangely a new Calendar (Paul Events 2) was created, but deleting this Calendar did not help. Additionally a previously deleted Calendar from months ago was re installed.
I have a MobileMe account that syncs automatically.
Did this happen to anyone else. I am still developing a solution to get rid of the duplicate events, but don't have one yet.

A lot of Duplicate Events, too.
After the Snow Leopard upgrade, performed 10/19/09, and the immediate update to OSX 10.6.1, I wanted to sync my iPod Touch 2G.
I was notified I had 67 iCal events to add, and 18 more modified events (85 total -- (a lot of birthdays). All were duplicates. I didn't sync. Is there any way to delete them?
Also, over the past 18 months of MBP ownership, my alarms for each event have increased to about 8 (they sound once, but I have to clear each of them on my computer screen), And my Contact notes, have doubled+ (as if Copy + Paste were used), with many spaces, and some of the information lost.
I was hoping for a Contacts & Calendar that would match the stability of my retired Windows Mobile Dell Axim X50v, before it took a virus, spread it to my Gateway desktop, completely destroying it (the desktop is NO MORE (couldn't be fixed) and I've retired the Axim).
What is the solution?

ICal new events are invisible

iCal Version 5.0.3 (1605.4) on MacOS 10.7.5
When I double click on iCal on iMac i don't see the new event but I can see it on other Apple devices.
WHY??????

I am seeing a similar issue.
iCal in Lion (10.7.1) definitely fails to show many events that I have added to my MobileMe calendars, from an iPhone and iPad, as well as from the Mac itself.
I have entered new events directly into iCal, and watched them disappear before my eyes.
These events do show up in the MobileMe web interface, as well as on an iPhone and iPad. But, very often, not in the Lion version of iCal.

Why won't "Split events before selected clip" work?

In IMovie'11, when I select a clip from an event and want to split it, I go to File, and the option "Split events before selected clip" is not highlighted, so I cannot do that task! Has anyone else had that problem? In fact if I select a clip in an event and go to Edit, and to the option "Split event" it also is not hightlighted so I cannot do that either! This is very frustrating as I am trying to organize my videos in order to burn them to a DVD.

Oops sorry - I'm new to iMovie, except for a short one I did a couple years back from stills. I only take the occasional one with my p&s camera - so it's mp4's - but now I've got a project I want to do for my son and his band. So, another learning curve
Yes I've been trying to split clips in the events browser. And sometimes the "split event" option come up black, but most times it's greyed out. Sometimes I even get the black and greyed-out in different places within the same event. I can't find any logic behind it, it appears to be random.
I haven't come across anything called "the timeline" - so don't know what that is. I searched it just now in iMovie but nothing came up.

First attempt at iCal Publish and ... confused

I published an iCal calendar and time settings do not appear to match.
A regular, weekly event in iCal defined as 08:00 - 09:00 appears in the published form as 3pm or 4pm.
Is the event replicable or the event parameters replicable to others?
With solution?
As an edit: Also, chosen calendar colour code (Red) appears as blue on the published variant.
Should the published variant conform to my chosen colour schema?
Message was edited by: the deebs = an additional observation
Message was edited by: the deebs

Published calendar times: these seem partially solved by declaring Time Zone in iCal on events but, for some reason, of the three adjustments made one insists on remaining 8 hours out of sync with iCal (a repeated weekly event).
Does anyone think it is helpful to have Notes appear as part of a published calendar?
The reason I ask is because we have a weekly event due on Monday of the week that occurs unless the day is a public holiday in the UK. Adding a note along lines of Cancelled on 4 May 2009 (Bank Holiday) seems helpful.
2 - can one do a partial sync? If a calendar event is revised does one need to do a full Mobile Me refresh?

ICal recurring events problem

Since updating to 10.8.2 I've run into a problem with my repeating events in iCal. I can duplicate the problem every time I create a repeating event on my MacBook Pro but not on any other Mac on 10.8.2 which leads me to believe it is a preference problem.
If I delete the preferences will all my events disappear from my calender? Are there other hidden preferences that I should try to delete? Or do I need to delete all my events and start from scratch creating them again? (I've got about 45 events every month.)
This is the problem I'm having:
I create an event repeating every week or month, etc. and I have it set to remind me a week before it's due. When the event is done I'll enter a note in the notes field which then brings up a window asking me if I want to change this event ONLY or change ALL the events. I choose ONLY this event. When I check the same event for next week or month, etc. the note that was entered in the last event shows up and shows up in all future events.

YOu can do this threw iCloud

How can I mark event as "done" so that I see this at one glance?

how can I mark an event on ical as "done" so that I see this at one glance? In outlook this was possible, there was a white line on the left once I had marked the event as "done".

Greetings,
If you are new iCal user read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2513
Events are more along the lines of a...well...event "Appointment with Dr. Smith"..."Travel to Mexico"..."Jon's Birthday".
What you are describing is what I would call a task. iCal offers "To Dos" for that purpose which include a check box for completion.
Cheers!

ICal very slow on each edit

I'm having this problem with iCal 5.0.1 and Lion on two different iMacs: a 2010 i7 and a 2008 Core 2 Duo. Both are up to date with system updates, etc.
The problem is this: each and every time I edit iCal -- new event, change an old event, edit a current event, etc -- iCal takes 10 to 30 seconds to update. I get the spinning beachball each time. Sometimes the menu bar title says 'iCal ... updating', sometimes not. Then the very NEXT mouse click in iCal, anywhere, gets me another spinning beachball for another 10 to 30 seconds.
This does NOT happen with iCal 5.0.1 on my brand-new MacBook Air running Lion (came installed). Both the iMacs were updated to Lion from SL, etc.
I can sync the calendars without problems between the three computers and with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, all via iCloud. An event entered on one device shows up properly on the other devices.
The slow-down problem was happening when I was using MobileMe to sync but was not as bad; it's much worse now that I'm syncing with iCloud. Likewise, it occurred when the iMacs were running SL but not as bad; now much worse with Lion. On each iMac, I changed the 'refresh calendars' in the Accounts tab in preferences from 'push' to 'every five minutes' but that hasn't helped. I am syncing three calendars ('home', 'work', 'consulting') via iCloud, and one calendar on the Mac.
Each calendar has a number of events. I edited all the repeating events so that they all end at the end of 2012, wondering if perhaps repeating to infinity was a problem, but that hasn't helped.
On both iMacs, I have trashed the iCal.plist in my library preferences and then logged-out/logged-in, but that also hasn't helped.
Any suggestions? iCal is pretty much unusable on the iMacs.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I had the same issue, almost exactly. This worked for me:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15676949#15676949
Application UI issues are in most cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

Michal,
iCal Help is a good place to start. Here are a couple of examples:

Catching JE Event (before posting the JE)

Hi there,
can anyone tell me how can i cacth the Journal Entry event, and change it before its posted to the system?
Example, when I click the "add button" on the A/R Invoice, catching the posting event before it gets posted and change it (add 2 more lines,1 debit and one credit)
Thank you.
LB

Hello Luis,
YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO MODIFY THE JE RELATED TO INVOICE
What you can do is add a new JE with your adjusments !
Use the following in SBO_SP_TransactionNotification
ALTER   proc [dbo].[SBO_SP_TransactionNotification]
@object_type nvarchar(20),                     -- SBO Object Type
@transaction_type nchar(1),               -- [A]dd, <u>pdate, [D]elete, [C]ancel, C[L]ose
@num_of_cols_in_key int,
@list_of_key_cols_tab_del nvarchar(255),
@list_of_cols_val_tab_del nvarchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
-- Return VALUES
declare @error int                    -- Result (0 for no error)
declare @error_message nvarchar (200)           -- Error string to be displayed
SELECT @error = 0
SELECT @error_message = N'Ok'
DECLARE @docnum nvarchar(50)
if not exists (select * from sysobjects where name = 'T_TransactionNotification')
begin
     create table T_TransactionNotification(
     TransactionDate datetime,
     ObjectType nvarchar(20),
     TransactionType nchar(1),
     NumOfColsInKey int,
     ListOfKeyColsTabDel nvarchar(255),
     ListOfColsValTabDel nvarchar(255) );
end;
insert into T_TransactionNotification
(     TransactionDate,
     ObjectType,
     TransactionType,
     NumOfColsInKey,
     ListOfKeyColsTabDel,
     ListOfColsValTabDel)
values( getdate(),
          @object_type,
          @transaction_type,
          @num_of_cols_in_key,
          @list_of_key_cols_tab_del,
          @list_of_cols_val_tab_del);
-- SELECTthe return VALUES
SELECT @error, @error_message
END
then issue and invoice, and see the results:
-- all records
select * from T_TransactionNotification order by
-- Invoices with JE numbers only
select T1.Transid, * from T_TransactionNotification T0, OINV T1 where T0.ListofColsValTabDel = T1.DocEntry and T0.ObjectType = '13'
As a next step, write your DI API Code, and do the adjusment based on the result of the Query (transid)
This solution is can be extended for every documents

Split event before selected clip grayed out

When editing movies, the option "split event before selected clip" is always grayed out...can anyone help???

The reason to split an event is to make the footage easier to find when you start making projects. For example, if you shot a birthday party on the afternoon and a football game at night, they might import into the same Event (based on date). You could select the first clip of football and right-click/Split Event Before Selected Clip. Now you have two Events...a birthday party event and a football event.
This has nothing to do with sharing and projects.
A single project can use clips from many events.
And you can make many projects from the clips in a single event.
The project does not duplicate the footage that is stored in the Event, it just references it.
A project is really a text file that is a recipe for building a movie. The recipe is executed when you "Share" or render your movie.
For example the Project file might say
"Look in Event XYZ and grab frames 1 through 200 from the third clip.
Add an audio track from iTunes, and mute the audio track from the Event.
Add a title that says this or that.
Apply some color correction in these parameters.
Now look at Event QPR and grab the second and third clips, but trim off the last 10 frames."
Etc.
Hope this helps.
If you want to share multiple movies from an Event, you just create multiple projects that reference the event. Choose the frames you need by dragging and dropping. And then share the projects.
No need to get QuickTime Pro involved.
