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.

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 I have even unpublished and published several times, all to no avail.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

My iCal won't update to latest version and can't get to go to mobile me!

Okay I have been banging my head over this one. I need my iCal to sync via mobile me to my iphone 4 and ipad.... but it won't go to mobile me at all and the only way i can copy it to my other places is by directly hooking it to my computer and synching. ANYWAY I think that maybe this is because my iCal is version 3.0.8 and needs to be 4.0.4 right? but i go to system updates and see no update for it.... how do I get it updated? Everything I read says it should be in the system update? Help I have way to much to manage to not be sharing my calander on all my devises. Regretting ditching an old school planner.

bump... and please help. I'm really lost on this. My calanders say they are publishing to mobile me but they are not!

Changes in ical won't update my Exchange 2007 server

If I make a change in ical, it doesn't update my server calendar. It works the other way round. Can anyone help? Is it possible to make this work? My server support line tell me Exchange 2007 doesn't support ical.

bump... and please help. I'm really lost on this. My calanders say they are publishing to mobile me but they are not!

ICal won't update new email address

Hi,
I am having trouble updating my email address for iCal. It's stuck using an old address... so anytime I try to set the alarm the email just bounces.
I've tried updating my card in my address book several different times and deleted any and all duplicates but it just wont take. It keeps reverting back to the old address.
Anybody have any ideas how I might be able to shake loose that old address and get iCal to shift over to the new one.
Thanks much
Bob

Make sure your old address is not in Mail's Previous Recipients.

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.

IPod touch won't update/sync iCal??

I usb it to my Mac, as usual. Shows connected in iTunes, as usual. Does it's typical syncing. But iCal doesn't update on my iPod. What gives?
Tried restoring iPod.
Tried updating iTunes.
Tried restarting Mac.
Still seeing old calendar entries on my iPod, but my Mac's iCal is fine. It'll even take entries FROM my iPod (manually entered into iPod, they'll sync to iCal ok), but changes to iCal going TO iPod isn't happening.
Help!

I had this problem, too and was able to fix it. I have an iPod Touch from 2008.
When I wanted to sync my calendars in iTunes, I had old calendars that no longer existed in that list of "iCal Calendars to Sync.
To fix this, I went to iSync in the Applications folder.
iSync menu > Preferences
At the bottom of this window, you can click a button to "Reset Sync History".
Know that I had nothing to lose on my iPod Touch, I clicked it.
Then I went back to iTunes and the iCal sync area. All of the old calendars no longer existed and the sync worked perfectly.
I hope this helps you, too!

ICal won't show any calendar in any account - reset?

Hi all,
After Google's update to their calendar systems, I've been experience some weired behaviour in my calendars (both OSX iCal and iOS Calendar).
So i thought of resetting both.
On the iPhone it all went well: I turned off both Google's and iCloud's calendar services, birthdays from Facebook and set up again successfully; now it works perfectly.
On the Mac, iCal failed, i.e. kept failing at syncing between Google's calendar server and iCal (iCloud seemed to work fine, though). So, after trying a couple of times to turn on and off the sync service of both iCloud and Google from Preferences and from iCal, I decided to remove all the files in ~/Library/Calendars and matching ~/Preferences/*iCal*. This resulted in both iCloud and Google's accounts not syncing anymore.
So I tried again to activate and deactivate both accounts using System Preferences. Fail.
Using iCal interface. Fail.
Fail: iCal keeps saying: updating calendars but many hours have passed now and nothing happens. The other times I reset iCal it took me like 30 seconds to have it work properly. Moreover, I don't think is a server side issue (like: too many trials, wait some time) because on the iPhone everything works pretty much ok.
How do I solve this issue? I'm thinking about a complete reset but I don't seem able to find the correct files to remove.
Thanks,
Riccardo

Mario,
You are welcome.
I am just curious, how can you tell the calendar is "incomplete"? And, if that is the reason it won't work, why is it listed on the apple website as being a valid calendar??
I subscribed to the calendar and looked for current entries in the iCal window. It had some erroneous data, and since it did not work for either of us, I concluded that your system was OK and the calendar was invalid.
The iCalShare calendar on the other hand had appropriate and up-to-date information.
If you desire you can provide iCal Feedback to inform Apple that the Red Wings calendar is not correct.
;~)

Calendar won't update

Help!
The calendar on my iPod won't update when I connect my iPod photo 40 gig to my powerbook G4.

Do you have your calendar Syncing enabled?
Navigate to: iTunes>Preferences>iPod>Calendars>place a check in front of "Synchronize iCal Calendars and select either Synchronize all calendars or synchronize selected calendars only.
Hope this helps!

Out of the blue flickering and iCal won't quit

We bought our iMac 20" last January 2008 and it has worked perfectly. I have installed all updates. After the last update (and I really don't know if it is just coincidence...) iCal won't quit unless it is forced. All data is gone. It might also have something to do with the last time I synced my iPod...?
More troubling, the screen has started flickering... almost shutting down at points. However, it is not on a regular basis and seemingly out of the blue...?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Wilrez,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Regarding the iCal issue, if you used Software Update for installing OS X 10.5.7, you may want to try reinstalling the update using the Mac OS X 10.5.7 Combo Update.
Let us know what happens with both problems after the reinstallation.
;~)

ICal won't launch after 10.5.2 upgrade

my iCal won't launch after 10.5.2 upgrade. it won't even give an "unexpectedly quit" message, it pops up then quits, then nothing. This happened immediately after the upgrade today. I got the leopard disc out and did an archive and install then it worked perfect, no issues, then I did a software update (since I was back to 10.5.0), and installed the 10.5.2 security upgrade, now iCal will not launch, am I the only one with this problem?

I had the exact same problem -- doubled events and could not edit anything. I flushed the cache as describe in some more detail here: http://www.tipstrs.com/tip/2506/iCal-problem-with-Leopard-Upgrade and everything started working just fine.

ICal won't start

iCal won't start on my G5. It gives an error message, "Cocoa Error 513", and closes when you click OK. Does anyone know what the problem is? I have already replaced the application from another computer, but get the same result.

What MacOS are you using?
I would reinstall iCal from the MacOS install disk (optional install and select iCal only)
First try to run Disk Utility to repair permissions and Run Software Update.

HI,
Try deleting this file. com.apple.ical.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
See if iCal behaves.
*"More troubling, the screen has started flickering... almost shutting down at points. However, it is not on a regular basis and seemingly out of the blue...?"*
Run the Apple Hardware Test and see if it reports anything.
Not sure about the iPod. One problem at a time.
Check the startup disk just in case.
Insert the installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart

ICal won't save information

iCal won't save new information. Deleting information does work. It worked fine until a couple days ago and I don't know what changed to cause this strange behavior. It will work on other accounts on my system.
I have noticed other posts regarding the same problem with minor differences but all stating iCal won't retain information. None of them have been answered.
iCal is very useful to me. Can anyone help?
Thank you.

This is not a mobile me issue. I am not a mobile me subscriber, and I have just recently gotten into a situation where iCal behaves as if there is nothing wrong (I can move things around, add events etc) then when I quit and start it up again, it looks like all my changes went missing. This is the same behaviour for caldav and local calendars. Oddly enough, if I go to google calendar and make changes there, I see them in iCal. I also see updates if I make changes on the iPhone and then sync.
I have gone to the finder and deleted all calendars and iCal preferences. When I fire up iCal again, it shows the standard starting state with home and work calendars. I can make changes and they get saved and everything. Now, when I restore the backup file I made, it goes back to not saving anything.
