ICal won't automatically publish my changes

I have iCal (3.0.6) set to publish several of my calendars. When I first told it to publish, I DID click the "Publish changes automatically" check-box, however, iCal is simply not publishing any changes. When I right click on the calendar name, the "Publish" option is grayed out, whether there are changes or not. The only way I have found to publish the changes is to get info on the calendar, click "Change Location", then click Ok, and it will republish. This is quite annoying to have to do every time I make a change. Is there anything someone can think of that I can do to fix this?

Nick,
That is not the window (http://nickchich.com/stuff/getinfo.jpg) which I see when I use the iCal>Calendar>Change Location... menu choice.
This is what I see on my system simply using "Get Info":
This is what I see using iCal>Calendar>Change Location... menu choice.:
I am not sure what to say about the difference, or what influence it may or may not have with the problem.
How/When did you update to 10.5.6?

Automatic Publish Site Changes

Is there a way for iWeb '09 to automatically publish site changes everyday at a specified time?

You might be able to create an Automator workflow that would open iWeb and invoke the File ➙ Publish Site Changes menu at a give time each day. Or possibly an Applescript. As in those forums for help.

Why won't iWeb publish my changes?

I have a rather involved photographic website that we just updated to include more and recent photos. When I tried to publish the changes, I got an error message. Eventually removed one of the photo-laden pages and tried publishing again, and it gave me the message that the site was published successfully. However, when I visited the site (www.stevefossimages.com) none of the changes were there. Yes, I refreshed, I shut down, rebooted, everything I could think of but none of the changes are there. Even the page I removed (Flowers) is still appearing on the site, even though it's not there in iWeb!
Please help!

Try publishing the site to a folder on your hard drive and open the local copy with your browser to verify all changes are there.
Once you confirm that they are try uploading the site folder and files to your server with a 3rd party FTP client like the free Cyberduck.
Many users have reported success with 3rd party FTP clients when they've had problems with iWeb's built in FTP client.

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

Drag appointment from Mail into iCal - won't automatically go into iCloud

When I drag an appointment from Mail into iCal, it saves the event on the calendar "Home - On my Mac" even though I have told iCal to default as "Home (iCloud)" Is there any way I can get Mail to drop into iCal on my default iCloud account so iCloud (and thus iPhone etc) updates automatically?!
Thanks!

Won't publish my changes....

I use iWeb 09, published my site using MobileMe. It worked perfect. BUT now when I have made changes it won't publish my changes and the icons stays red. I tried Publish site, Publish site changes, Publish entire site. I successfully published my website to a folder on my HD. I updated Iweb, signed out of MobileMe, signed in tried again, over and over and over.... nothing works
Need help!
Thanks

Update: It's working now, for the time being. It's my experience that it's been working on and off for this past weekend up to now. I don't know if anyone else was experiencing problems in that time frame.
I spent that last weekend doing some significant changes to the site, adding a new logo, background and that coverflow animation you see on all the root pages. The site is comprised of 11 pages and 5 blogs, with many entires in each of those 5 blogs. I affected changes to each page, including all the blog entries, and then tried to publish yesterday morning. I think that's when the trouble really started, because I was publishing a high volume of pages at once – MobileMe doesn't seem to like that. This is when I started trying to move the pages to a new site within iWeb, which eventually crashed the program and caused all my early entries in all 5 blogs to get corrupted (that's what I'm calling it at least, because if I clicked on those entries I just got a blank white screen, and if I tried to publish before deleting them I got the "An Unknown Error Occurred" message each time).
What I'm interested in is your suggestion to use Cyber Duck. I've ran into this suggestion before on these forums and so, yesterday, I downloaded Cyber Duck, but am totally clueless on how to use it. I know nothing about FTP but would like to know if A.) will the site load faster going through an FTP service like Cyber Duck or (the other one I hear about a lot) Web Maestro; and B.) If it will make the site load faster, how complicated is the change over and could someone walk a FTP illiterate person like me through the process. I update the site daily and so I can't complicate the process of publishing too much. I hear Web Maestro has selective publishing, maybe that's the way to go?
Also, I've disabled comments on my site anyway, so no fear of that.
Sorry this ran a little long.

So iCal won't sync as I've had to change my gmail password. Anyone figured out how to fix this?

So iCal won't sync now as I've had to change my gmail password. Anyone figured out how to fix this?

Yes, I go to Settings>Mail>Gmail. I've deleted the old Gmail account and added it back with the new password. I've also deleted the account, shut down the iPad and iPhone and then re-add the Gmail account with the new password and it still doesn't work for either device. The error messages I get are:
For the iPad: Cannot Connect Using SSL
For the iPhone: The user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.

You could simplify the decode(... into to_char(sysdate + 1,'d')
select sysdate + level input_date,
       TRIM(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE + level,'DAY')) the_day,

ICal won't update

All of a sudden iCal won't update my previously-published calendars -- which are hosted in my .mac account. I changed nothing; the problem started yesterday, before I had installed the recent updates and patches to QuickTime and the OS. Also, my iDisk is suddenly inaccessible. Is this a server-side problem of some sort?
I have already repaired permissions, restarted, and done all of the usual stuff.

Well, now everything seems to be working, so I suppose it was some kind of server-side issue.

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

Whenever I turn my MacBook pro on, all the other stuff is loaded (MS word/excel/powerpoint), Spotify, iCal, etc are automatically loaded, so in order for me to go to my desired website, I have to close (x) out all applications loaded. Please advise.

If you are using Lion:
Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

Publish site changes edits every folder in "entries" directory

I utilize Lytebox slideshows in my blog entries and have an issue with MobileMe erasing the necessary Lytebox files from every blog Entries directory (Web/Sites/Site Name/Site Name/Entires/Year/Month).
I always update my website via Files>Publish Site Changes. I publish to MobileMe so that I can make my site private.
I expect MobileMe to overwrite the files in the Entries folder for the specific blog entry I have created/changed, but why are the Lytebox files erased from every single Entries folder? I just did a test by making a minor change to a blog entry, publishing site changes and then using Cyberduck to check the Entries directory. Sure enough, every folder in that directory was modified.
As a result, every time I make any changes to my website, I have to upload the Lytebox files to every Entries folder, currently I have 15 of them.
Any reason MobileMe is doing this? Can I avoid this from happening? If not, I'll post another question about how to quickly and automatically upload the lytebox files to every Entries folder.
Thank you.

Any 3rd party files/folders used for java based slideshows in an iWeb site should be placed in the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and linked to there and NOT in the site's folder itself for the very reason you're experiencing. That is, they get deleted when the site is republished. It's the nature of iWeb.
You should use the following URL to link to a particular file in the Lytebox folder (assuming that folder is named Lytebox): http://web.me.com/MobileMeAccount_Name/Lytebox/Filename.

MacBook won't automatically sleep

My MacBook won't automatically sleep anymore. If I close the lid or command it to sleep, it will. But it will no longer automatically sleep. I've tried tons of fixes and searched for hours on the internet, but still have not found a solution. I seem to have noticed that this starting happening after I installed Windows XP via Bootcamp, so I'm guessing that the problem is related to that. Any ideas?

This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
Here is KB article HT1776 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB card.
Also, here is Apple KB article TA2469 about PCI cards and sleep.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
Check the printer queue!"
Allan Jones says "sometimes there is Network activity: launch System Preferences > Energy Saver > "Options" tab and uncheck "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access."
Good Luck!  DALE
