Importing ICS to calendar across devices

I have set up family sharing for a calendar. When I import an ICS into this shared calendar it a) doesn't share to the target devices (an iPhone 6 on 8.1.2) and b) it disappears from my iPad after around 10 mins or so (iPad Air 2 on 8.1.2).
What am I doing wrong?

Which version of Outlook is letting you export/save your events as .ics? We often export events out as a .pst, then install the Outlook Connector (as default calendar/profile), then import those appointments (from the .pst). This has worked for 1000s of appointments and rarely causes much grief.

Is it possible to import .ics to calendar in iphone

We are developing a web application for mobiles that would give user an option to save a meeting to his calendar. Is it possible to download a .ics file in iPhone from web browser (safari)?

Maybe you should ask in the developer forum:
Developer Forums
or iCal forum
iCal
iPhone Manual page 68
import events from a calendar file: If you receive an .ics calendar file in Mail, open the message and tap the calendar file to import all of the events it contains. You can also import an .ics file published on the web by tapping a link to the file. Some .ics files subscribe you to a calendar instead of adding events to your calendar. See Working with multiple calendars below.
Subscribe to a calendar: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then tap Add Account. Tap Other, then tap Add Subscribed Calendar. Enter the server and filename of the .ics file to subscribe to. You can also subscribe to an iCalendar (.ics) calendar published on the web, by tapping a link to the calendar.

Import ics into Calendar, getting error 403...

I have been getting this issues since upgrading two weeks ago to Yosemite. Every invitation I get from my work colleagues end with this continuous error. It means I am constantly cancelling the errors for each invitation continuously all day.
The server responded:
“403”
to operation CalDAVMoveEntityQueueableOperation.
(Someone else posted the same question but when I try to reply Apples says I am logged in so I posted it again)
I have tried deleting all calendar settings and connecting to iCloud and downloading the calendars again. This fixes it until I get new invitations and the problem starts again.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
In the Internet Accounts preference pane, delete any calendar accounts you don't use.
If there's no improvement, delete all calendar accounts and add them back. With an iCloud account, all you have to do is uncheck and recheck the box marked Calendars & Reminders in the iCloud preference pane.
Step 2
You may be trying to access an invited event that you declined, or one that was rescheduled after you accepted it. The error message should give you a clue as to what it is. If the calendar is on iCloud, you can bring up the Calendar on the website and select
Show Declined Events
from the popup menu with the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page. The declined events will appear in gray, and one of them should match what's shown the error message. [Credit for this solution to ASC member Psi.]
Step 3
If you get the error when trying to accept an invitation in an email attachment, it's because the organizer didn't properly create the event.
Step 4
Follow the instructions in this support article. Modify as necessary for a calendar that's not on iCloud.

Imported ics calendar does not appear in iCal on my iPhone

When I import an .ics calendar to my iCal as a new calendar - it ends up in my "on my mac"-list and not on my "apple-ID-list" which (I figure) is the reason why the imported calendars aren't showing up on my iPhone iCal. What I can I do to change this??

Hi,
I couldn't import ics invitation received by email (in Mail). When I clicked on the ics invitation iCal was opening buy the ics invitation didn't appear.
Reading a few post I realized I could drag the ics invitation from from to iCal and then the invitation appeared into the "Waiting to confirm box" - on the right of the calendar button. By default is tried to sync using the "on my mac" account.
ANSWER:
I wasn't using this account, so I DELETED all my "on my mac" calendars and iCloud calendar is now my default. From now on all my ics invitation are imported into iCal AND they sync flawlessly to my other device (iPhone 5 and iPad 4) and to people sharing this calendar.

Calendar won't sync across devices and other issues

Hello all,
I am running latest versions of IOS 8 on IPAD Air2, iPhone5S and latest Yosemite on IMAC intel last year model.
There are few issues here....
In Mavericks when I edited an event in calendars it would show up almost immediately on my phone. No more. In Yosemite I would edit an event and it seems like a 50/50 chance it would RETAIN in the Yosemite calendar. And if it does, it does no sync across devices. This is a pain in my ***.
Second issue is when I use the 'shutdown' feature top left corner of OS X, the unit would begin to shut down then the spinning logo would keep spinning and unit would never shut down. The energy saver would take effect. I come from work thinking it was shut down, press the power button on back and the unit 'wakes' and continues with spinning shutdown logo.
Third issue, my iPhone randomly asks for the iCloud password, even though it is enable across all of my three devices.
Other than these issues I love Yosemite and IOS 8, but these are really kicking me from behind.
I appreciate any and all help!
Thanks

OK, are you sure the events you are adding are added to an icloud calendar, only iCloud calendars will sync. Tap the calendar button to make sure all your calendars are iCloud calendars. Are changes making it to iCloud.com

Can't Import ICS Calendars with 10.2.1.2941

Hi all,
in the last couple of days, I tried import ICS calendars on my Z10 running 10.2.1.2941, and each time, the Calendar app only imports one of the events in the calendar.
The first time, I created a calendar for the 2014 World Cup using iCalendar on OS X 10.9.3, put it in an e-mail, downloaded it from the e-mail on my Z10 and tapped on the file in the list of downloads. At that point, I simply got the Calendar app's New Event screen for only one of the events and an option to save or cancel.
The 2nd time, I tried loading the calendar from http://bclions.com/schedule/importSchedule?year=2014&team=1&timezone=America/Vancouver , which worked perfectly on my Macbook Pro, but on my Z10, I got the Calendar app's New Event screen for only one of the events.
This looks like a bug in BB10's Calendar app. Is there a workaround, other than synching with my laptop or Google Calendar ?
One more thing, on my Z10, I have one local calendar, two Google calendars and a Facebook calendar. Syncing with the Google and FB calendars work perfectly.
Thanks.

How do i automatically import ics calendar invitations from email into apple calendar?

how do i automatically import ics calendar invitations (sent from Windows computer - Outlook) from email into apple calendar?

From Calendar Help. The only two ways listed are using the Import command or a drag and drop.
Import events into a calendar
If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
Choose File > Import > Import.
Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.
You might be able to set up and Automator action to do it for you.

Sync Calendar across multiple devices

My wife and I each have an iMac and iPhones. We would like to be able to have a common calendar across all of our devices. I suspect this can be done with iCloud. I think this can be done by both of us using the same iCloud account but then we would have to have common everything. We each have separate Contacts lists and really don't want to co-mingle them.
Is it possible to have multiple iCloud accounts on the same device?
Can someone point me to a place where I can read about how to set this up?
Thanks a lot for the help.
Adrian

I have the same setup here for me any my wife. We each have a separate apple ID used for iCloud (but share one ID for iTunes).
We each have personal calendars but we also have a shared one (named shared). On icloud.com we have that calendar shared where we can each add/edit the events. And it is shared accross our iPad and iPhones.

Calendars no longer sync across devices after iOS/Mac OS X updates

Ever since updating my MacBook Air to Yosemite and my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.0.2 (or maybe 8.1.1), my calendars no longer sync correctly across devices. Prior to the updates, any addition or change I made to the calendar on my iPhone would be added to the calendar on my Mac the next time I synced my phone. Now I have duplicate events on my phone, the calendar on my Mac no longer incorporates changes from the phone and I get a dialog box on the Mac 2-3 times an hour about calendar conflicts. No matter how many times I review the conflicts and choose which events/updates to save, the box keeps coming back. I've never had a persistent issue like this with any previous iOS or Mac OS updates and I can't figure out why it won't stop. Help, please!

OK, that was easy enough. Here's what I took from the log when I synced a few minutes ago. I kept the log entry for one of the multiple calendar sync conflicts.

Problem importing ics files into iCal

Importing ics files into iCal is the problem, but first here is the background on why I'm trying to import.
I have an iMac and iPad, and recently changed my iPhone 3G for an iPhone 4S. Having got the iPhone 4S I have now set up all my devices to use iCloud. In moving iCal to iCloud an extra calendar was created "automatically" in iCal, called "Me". This "Me" calendar contains a partial duplicate of my main calendar, which is called "My Calendar". In fact, some of the events from "My Calendar" seem to have been moved to "Me", and some have been duplicated.
It seems as it I now need to merge the "Me" and "My calendar" calendars to get back to where I was.
I have tried to export one of the calendars and then re-import it into the other. The export seems to work fine, but every single time I try to re-import the ics file iCal crashes at the end of the import process, and the import is not completed.
Can anyone help? This has been driving me absolutely crazy today!
I even tried manually moving events from one calendar to another, but they reappeared. I think this was because my iPhone/iPad were re-syncing via iCloud and overwriting the changes I had just made.
I don't mind if I end up with one calendar with duplicates as I can remove them with iCal Dupe Deleter.
Or if there are any other alternative solutions I'd love to hear them!
All help greatly appreciated!
(P.S. Is it just me, or is Apple software slowly getting as unreliable as Windows used to be? I get more problems with software updates now than when I first got a Mac about 8 years ago!)

Not a great answer but I dragged the attachment either to the finder - app - ical or the icon. It placed it on the calendar. I clicked in and accepted. So, no auto populate. Need to drag and drop. So glad I paid the 20 bucks to upgrade to 10.8

Pdf sync across devices does not work

is anyone experiencing problems with syncing PDF files across devices? My PDFs are not the same across the 3 devices I use.

So I managed to solve this Problem.
First: Be patient in itunes, as it takes some amount of time for changes to show up there. (after 10s it should be there - I also closed the applications quite often.)
Second make a backup of your calendars in the calendar app - you should have a file with a icbu-ending that contains your data. It's most likely you won't lose data.)
do a filesystemrepair on the basic level - reboot and hold cmd + s to boot into single user mode and type in fsck -fy and wait for your mac to finish the filesystem repairs (if there were any errors to be corrected.)
Reboot and do a parameter reset hold down cmd + option + p + r and wait for the second startup sound.
Turn on iCloud-sync for my calendar within OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8)
Turn on iCloud-sync on my iPad (iOS 5.1.1)
Turn iCloud-sync off on both devices and swipe both calendars. (On my iPad it went through right away - only birthdays from Contacts left. - On the Calendar-App in OS X I had leftovers.)
Checked my Calendar-app and deleted all leftovers and closed Calendar. - I repeted this step a few times until iTunes would only show me one last calendar named "Calendar")
I confirmed that i was close by creating a new test-calendar in the calendar-App named test which showed up in iTunes (Hurra!)
I restored my calendars with the import-function in the calendar-app.
I cleaned up duplicate Google-Webcals.
I synced the calendar with iTunes AND replaced the entries on my iPad.
I synced with my iPhone AND replaced the entries there as well.
I did a last sync with my idevices.
Poooh. Thanks half a day later I'm back to normal. Calendars showing up again on my mac and my iDevices.

How can I import my Google calendar to iCloud calendar via web or ios?

I've decided I want to move from contacts/calendar in gmail to icloud. I was going to do the same with mail, but it seems iCloud doesn't have the level of functionality that gmail does.
My problem is that all instructions for importing my gmail calendar into icloud require some sort of desktop (I use PC) mail/calendar program. I don't use one. I manage my mail & calendars purely on my iphone or on the website(s). How can I import my .ics file into iCloud calendar via either the iCloud web interface or via my iPhone?

The only possible way I could imagine it might work ( can't guarantee it ) is as followed.
#1 Your Google Calendar is synced with your iphoen and you go into settings to turn it off.
#2 It will ask you: "What would you like to do with excisting local calendars on your iphone", you click keep them on iphone.
#3 Now you sync your empty icloud calendar with your iphone and hopefully the local calendar would sync on your icloud calendar?
Might work...not sure, play around with the settings in the iphone calendar app etc...

Subscribing to multiple ICS web calendars results in duplicate calendar msg

I'm trying to subscribe to multiple ICS/iCal calendars that are published by a local hockey league on their web site. The link is actually to a PHP script that uses a query string parameter to determine which team's calendar you want. But when I attempt to subscribe to more than one of these in iCal, it says it thinks it's the same calendar! But when I do them each separately, they work fine. I can't figure out why and would appreciate tips, advice, etc from others who may have encountered similar situations.
The specific URLs I am using are:
http://stats.siahl.org/team-cal.php?team=664&format=iCal
http://stats.siahl.org/team-cal.php?team=316&format=iCal
http://stats.siahl.org/team-cal.php?team=31&format=iCal
For now, I'm having to save these to .ics files and import them manually into iCal. This ***** because they won't auto-refresh... but I need to find a solution to this bogus "duplicate calendar" message...
Any help is appreciated.

cj,
If a subscribed holiday calendar is current and events are displayed far enough into the future you can use iCal>File>Export for one of the subscriptions. Then use iCal>File>Import on the previously exported file. When you import, be sure to create an unique name for the calendar. Now you can delete the subscription, and you can edit/delete the calendar, and rename the freshly imported calendar.

After factory reset information shared across devices won't load

Hello. I recently did a factory reset on my MacBook Air. I backed up my iphoto library and itunes library to external hard drive and was able to load those fine. But I am still having a problem with syncing media and data across devices. Maybe I'm missing something? I set up my icloud; the contacts, address book, etc. seemed to have loaded all the data. BUT: the information that is supposed to load through sharing across my ipad, iphone 5 is not loading. I thought the itunes would load my music just based on the sharing, but it is a good thing I backed it up. Things like ibooks, and the most recent photos I have taken on my iphone are not loaded.
Please help: I need to know how get all my devices sharing again, and/or pushing media through itunes
Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.

Information that is 'shared' via icloud includes calendar events, contacts, todo items, notes, and safari bookmarks. Music that is on an iOS device isn't shared. If it is music you purchased from the Apple iTunes store you can redownload it or it can be moved from the device by using the Transfer Purchases option of the iTunes File menu when your phone is connected to the computer via the cable. iOS apps can also be transferred to the computer this way. New pictures will sync when the phone/iPad is physically connected but I'm not certain how old pictures that exist on the iOS device but not on the computer are handled. You may need to use a third party program to transfer these old pictures - as well as music not purchased from the iTunes store.
