ICal Server - Delegates being deleted, have to always re-add

Hi all,
I have a new mini snow leopard server working well, except shared calendars are causing me issues. For one I can't get the group calendars working or added, so I decided to make shared calendars under one user account then give access to the staff. This solution works fine, however after an hour or so all the user access list completely deletes itself and I have to add them again. Very frustrating for something that should be so simple. I'm not even quitting iCal when this happens.
Thoughts?
ryan.

I am struggling with this: how is it supposed to work in the first place?
I fear I have done the necessary, but it did not work - and that leaves me wondering what I did.
Group calendars not working or added would explain why I can't find them.

Sync ical server delegates to iphone

I've seen many postings about syncing google delegate calendars in Ical to an Iphone, but my situation is with Snow Leopard Server Ical server. We have delegate calendars setup on our server and they display properly on the desktop clients in ICal, but I can't sync the delegates to my IPhone. I tried subscribing to the delegates by using the CalDav URL shown in the "get Info" pane, but always get an "incorrect URL" error. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for that advice. Curious though - is what I'm asking even possible? It seems like it should be. Can iTunes bring over the CalDav info the same way it did with my email accounts when I first got my phone. It's just strange that iTunes sees the CalDav calendars, but nothing comes over.
I have to set up several iOS devices so not having to do this manually would be ideal, but if I have to...

ICal, iCal Server, Delegates & iPhones

Hi there
Having issues with my works iCal server.
Running 10.6 Server w/ iCal server on.
One user is the scheduler, which does the work schedule.
One user is the reader, which everyone logs onto to view the schedule.
In iCal we use delegates to view them and it works great.
Problem is we can not see the delegates on our iPhones. I wish to know how to do this.
Thx

Check this thread. Still waiting on a fix.

Leopard iCal Server, iPhone & MobileMe - best way to set up?

Hi there, hoping someone can help with this scenario:
In our office (approx. 30 people running Leopard), we connect to an iCal Server in order to have a shared CalDAV diary.
Currently, everyone logs in as the same CalDAV account. Within this account there are several separate calendars, one for each job number.
"332 Blah Blah Road"
"333 Etc Etc Street"
Our boss (and three others) have just bought new iPhone 3Gs and want to be able to:
a) have any shared calendar changes pushed to their iPhones when they are away from the office.
b) be able to make changes to shared calendars on the move and push them back to the iCal Server.
Would we need to get MobileMe (or several accounts) to do this? Apology for the ignorance, I have tried to look for information on this and got nowhere.
Can anyone suggest a way of getting this scenario to work? What are we doing wrong, or would we need an Exchange Server to achieve what we want?
Please feel free to patronise and start from basics!
Many thanks!

Hi Nicholas,
In case it's not too late for you, I'd add the following "information bits":
- MobileMe is great for a single person. Getting multiple MobileMe's to talk to eachother may be possible, but MObileMe is clearly NOT advertised as for the small business.
That said, I still advocate all our team members to have MobileMe, just as a super-simple way to show/share images, for an added layer of backup redundancy, making transformation to newer laptops easier etc. etc.
Whilst some argue it is "too expensive", "can be had for free" etc., I am of the opinion 99 USD/y is a very small price to pay for the simplicity and comfort.
For GROUPWARE appslications (sharing calendars, contacts...), I would strongly recommend to look into KERIO Mail Server instead. It runs perfectly on our XServe, handles Outlook & Blackberry clients as well (there's always gonna be someone clinging on to a Berry-Device or using a PC until they understand how much better the Mac side is ). A 30-day demo is available, very easy to install and just make sure you don't get a conflict with your ports, as Kerio Webmail starts on port 80 (I disabled it, only allowing SSL connections) and your OS X Mailserver might run on it. Also perhaps an idea to deactivate your OS X Mail-Server in case you're using it on an XServe, if at all possible, otherwise make sure there are no port comflicts.
Hope this helps somewhat.

Icloud with ical server

I have been able to successfully set up icloud syncing with my mac and iphone with the "work" and other home based calendars. However, I run a business and I have ical server running with my business calendards. How do I get the ical server calendars on the icloud?

It is impossible to sync your iCal Server contacts through iCloud.
However, you can add your iCal account directly to your iPhone. Just go to Settings -> Mail, Contact & others -> Add account -> Other -> Add CalDAV account, and fill out the form with your iCal server detail.
You need to be of course in the same LAN as your server to make the sync work, or make it "public" by forwarding CalDAV ports on your router/firewall. In the second case, make sure you connect only over SSL (port 443) and not the unsecured 80.

ICal server on a PC... HELP!!!!

Ok iam finally swallowing my pride... I have no idea what Iam doing... I am trying to put our iCal server onto a PC in a remote office - all the mac's in the remote office works fine, however the PC laptop just doesn't.
IAm willing to buy/use any program to run the iCal server... just have no idea which one/where to look.
Many thanks - Adam

Adam,
I've been fighting with this for a bit as well...
I'm well aware that you probably did some/most of the below steps already, but my
step by step would be:
1) Install Lightning
2) open the calendar view
3) right click on the "Home" calendar that gets displayed and select "New calendar"
4) Select "On the network"
5) Select CalDAV
Now for the tricky part, the location: I could only get it to work by using ical server's user id and calendar id, so my locations look like this:
for the first calendar I created it is
https://calendar.server.com:8443/calendars/_uuids_/fff6ff85-ff65-4cbb-ff6c-6ff2f5668c75/calendar
(all in one line, and of course you need to replace calendar.server.com by your server's name)
This one worked flawlessly on the PC.
The second calendar I created looks like this:
https://calendar.server.com:8443/calendars/_uuids_/fff6ff85-ff65-4cbb-ff6c-6ff2f5668c75/812D44BF-1904-4FC2-86B6-11D709B4A90A
but initially I couldn't get this to work at all.
The problem was that I thought I could get the full URL via ical on a Mac by simply right-clicking on the calendar and selecting "Get info". However the URL gets trimmed at the end, so I got only about 15 characters of the second calendar id. I got the real id by going to https://calendar.server.com:8443 in Safari and then going down to /calendars/users/<myuserid>/. If you then click on the different calendar ids listed on top and look for the "displayname" property you can also see the "real name" of the calendar you're looking at, to identify the needed id.
6) enter the location as shown above into the Location field
7) click "Next", you should be asked for a username and password to access the calendar server now. Use the same as for subscribing on the Mac.
8) click "Finish"
9) If you don't get any entries, and don't see any "Checking calendars" activity on the bottom right of the window restart Thunderbird.
This worked for me, hope it helps!

Ical server and google calendar

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to have a google calendar run the same way in ical as ical server so that all everyone can view the google calendar through ical server.
We currently have our calendar on google calendar and would love to migrate it across to our server.

Approx 700 Files being deleted from file server (server 2003) without permission

Hello,
We had a problem with files being deleted from our file server.
We lost approx. 700 files across approx. 40 directories from the file date codes between Nov. 30 2014 and Dec 3, 2014. All files before this date were not touch.
Our Dec. 1 backup had all of the files. Our Dec. 5 backup only have files before Sept. 1 2014 and after Dec. 3, 2014.
My question is how can this happen without going to each directory and sorted my date cade and delecting files from this date range.
Does anyone have any other ideals on how this could of happen?
Thank You
Bert

My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
Who is your email provider?
They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

E-mail being deleted from server

Hello,
I have aol e-mail and use my iPhone and Outlook Express configured. Everything's working great except one issue. My e-mails are being deleted from the server after a month or so. I can't determine if the deletion is because of the number of messages or the time on the server. Is there any way to prevent this? I am not sure if it's a setting w/ Outlook Express, the iPhone or Outlook Express.
Thanks,
Shauna

Well, I use the full blown version of Outlook, and right now I'm on my work computer and it is a laptop using Vista so I don't have Outlook Express on here. However, I would imagine that it is in the Accounts section. This is where you set the parameters for the mail account. You can look there, or I can check later on after I get home. Maybe someone else that uses OE can chime in here and get you the location.
Hope this helps you.

Can't edit or delete iCal Server Utility records

I created two records in iCal Server Utility when I first set it up (one location and one resource).
For some reason, now I cannot edit or delete either of those records. I get the message "An error has occurred. You don't have permission to modify this record."
My preferences are set to connect via password (as opposed to Kerberos).
What am I missing?

ICal Server, iPhone, Delegates (or lack there of) & Alerts

I have set up iCal Server, with a company-wide calendar, with all employees added as delegates. When I add an employee's CalDAV account on their 3.0 iPhone, they don't see the company-wide calendar, because iPhone 3.0 doesn't support delegates. But then when I set the company-wide iCal CalDAV on the iPhone, and set an alert, obviously every iPhone in the company receives the alert. Even when I turn off "New Alert Notices" in the iPhone settings, the iPhones still receive the alerts. I would like to avoid every iPhone in the company from receiving every alert, yet be able to view and add events to the company-wide calendar.
Any ideas?

This doesn't answer your question but there is a way to make delegates work on the iPhone. If you are setup as a delegate of someone's calendars you can trick the iPhone into giving you full access to that calendar. For each delegate you need a separate CalDAV account setup in the iPhone which is a pain but doable for small companies.
Setup the CalDAV account with your server and your login information. Put anything you want for the description but I suggest the name of the calendar user you are gaining access to.
When done, go back into the account details and click Advanced Settings. Click the Account URL and change the end of the URL from: "\yourname" to "\Jane" (in my example, use the short name of the person you're accessing)
When you go back into your list of calendars you will see this new category with the calendars listed.

Why are random calendar events being deleted from my iphone when I sync it with ical?

My settings are such that events entered on both devices should push to both devices when I sync. The events being deleted from my iphone are not consistent (ie. older than a certain date), they are random.

This happens to me INCESSANTLY. I'm looking at my calendar events one second, and POOF!, the next second all of the events I've entered into the calendar- with the exception of birthdays that are on the actual contact information for a person- are GONE. My calendar settings are set to sync all events- no timeframe- and always have been. This happened to me nonstop on my old iPhone 3GS, and I was sure it was the phone causing this issue. Now, I have my new iPhone 5 in my hands and same ol' , different equipment. I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to prevent this from happening or to restore the data- including rebooting, holding home button and on/off at same time, etc.- and NOTHING works to restore the data. And then, just as magically as the data disappeared, POOF!- the data is back randomly sometime later. That "later" may be 5 mins, a day, several days. This is an absurd and EXASPERATING glitch that APPLE NEEDS TO FIX IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm starting to hate the iPhone and Apple in general when I continuously experience HUGE glitches like this that have a profound impact on what you're trying to accomplish within a feature that you DEPEND on... yet Apple has "never heard of that problem before". You suck, Apple. Don't send your problems out into the real world, to users who just gave you $800 for another glitchy piece of equipment that never solves your software issues.

How to have iCal Server share one or more calendars?

Hello everybody.
I'm really new to iCal Server, and I'd like to be able to create and share one or more calendars for a couple of users. I'm running Mac Mini with OSX SL Server 10.6.5 and have iMacs with the same OS.
Any how-to or such, to read and step-by-step configure the stuff?
I'm already looking at the Apple PDF (from Resources) but I'm stuck where it tells me to create the SRV record: I don't know which fields to fill in with the infos provided.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
F.

Yes, it is Flavio.
There are other threads that claim you can disregard the manual in this respect. I tried disregarding it. It'll seem to work. Then within days users will complain of intermittent (1) "calendar not found", (2) "lack of permissions", and (3) "conflicts with client-side versus server-side" errors.
Creating the SRV is essential in this, because it's registering the iCal service with DNS, and DNS is telling the client how to involve the server in the service. To be technically accurate, the server does have a default response when the SRV doesn't exist, so, yes, it will work at times..., but it's hard to explain this to your users when they're asking you about clicking through error dialogs every five minutes. "What do I do here? Should I be worried about this?" You'll be pulling your hair out. I was. Once I had the SRV up, though, the errors have entirely disappeared.
In addition to the things in my last post, having Push Notifications working is also wonderful. Follow the steps in the manual, but basically it involves turning Push on before starting up iCal.
Lastly, there's the question of moving users' old calendars (which are client-based) over to the iCal server (which is server-based): You can't just import-then-export, or you'll find other, nagging errors (basically of type "3", above). As far as I've been able to tell, if the user's calendar contains events where they're not the organizer (and it will), you'll get errors because the user has now assumed an event they don't own. The errors you'll get are basically the server asking, "Who owns this thing? I don't get it."
Sadly, the only way around this is I've found is for the end-user to context-click on each old event and move it to the new calendar. When the calendar options there are ghosted, they'll know they have an event they don't own.
But once you get past this point, it works beautifully. Users get really excited, because they now see the wonderful opportunities they now have. And that makes you feel it was worth it (especially when you think of how much they'd be spending on Exchange).
