Importing into Ical

Hello,
Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to import a csv file of Daily lectionary Readings into ICal,(and, therefore, how to do it), so that it appears as an entry each day?
Thanks

Can't be done on the iPad. You can do it on a Mac - this might help to show how

  • How do I publish calendars imported into iCal from a .ics file to iCloud rather than MobileMe?

    Having upgraded my iPhone4 & iPad to iOS5 and my iMac to OSX 10.7.2, I have been having trouble with duplicate calendar entries. Unfortunately, having deleted all but one calendar from the iCloud web interface, I heeded the mistaken advice to disable Calendars in the iCloud preference pane on the iMac and it deleted the calendars that had been removed from iCould from the iMac as well.
    A few false starts later, I was able, after disconnecting all my devices from the net, to restore my iCal calendars with TimeMachine from before the chaos started then exported them as .ics files. After rebooting and re-enabling the network to the iMac, iCloud sync purged the restored calendars from iCal again, so I imported the .ics files into iCal and published them again, but the publish options only include MobileMe or a private server, so I chose MobileMe. iCal now happily shows all my calendars on the iMac again, but the iCloud web Calendar app can't see them.
    How can I get iCloud to see the published iCal calendars again?

    Solved, I think! What you need to do is log on to your icloud account at www.icloud.com, go to the calendar screen, click the gearwheel and choose New Calendar. Create a calendar here (ie up on the iCloud) with the name you want for your imported calendar data. Then switch to iCal - you may have to quit and relaunch for the new iCloud calendar to appear (or it will probably do so automatically if you wait long enough) then import the data using File->Import->Import... When you get to the step where it asks which calendar you want to import the data into, choose the new iCloud calendar you've just created. Job done!
    To be complete in my answer, I don't think you can exactly do what you want to do, at least not at present. There doesn't seem to be any way to publish a calendar to iCloud after the first time you set up iCloud on your Mac when it exports any calendar data that is on the Mac at that time. I suppose that Apple feel that the way I have described works by exporting from one calendar and importing into another, so no need to provide a way of doing it directly.

  • How to import into ical 2

    i want a txt-file or tab dilimited file imported in ical.
    I used to use iCalTextImport, but I get an error message on opening the program, saying something like 'an error has occurred - please check your settings! the eror was: can't make "5,11108644555E+5" into type real'.
    does anyone know another way?
    maybe into a format that ical understands?

    Have you tried to download icalTextimport again and use the new version?: http://homepage.mac.com/penicuik/FileSharing15.html
    Also, have have you tried icalmaker - it does cost money but has many features: http://www.mmisoftware.co.uk/pages/icm.html
    hope this helps

  • Website ical feed not importing into ical (but works in other programs)

    We have a website that contains timetables, and publish ical (.ics) feeds for users so that they can import their timetables into their own calendar software. We have a few users who are saying that ical will not import our site's ics feed. Either just one event (of many) gets imported or none of them do. We've imported these feeds into google calendar, sunbird & outlook without any problems, and have ran this same user's feed through an ical validation tool and it passes without any errors or warnings.
    Where can I find out what iCal is having trouble with? Is there an error log somewhere I can get the users to access? Are there any parts of the ics format that ical is particularly flaky with? How can I find out what's wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    thanks

    I'm having this problem too... can't figure out what is wrong.
    Outlook & Google Calendar can import it
    It validates according to:
    http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/
    If there is only one event iCal accepts it, but if there are more than one, it gives an error message (a very unhelpful one at that).
    There is a link to the iCal file here:

  • How to import Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar into iCal ???

    Is there a way to import calendar data from either Lotus Notes or Outlook calendar into iCal ? Is there a generic data type file that I must first get the calendar file into before importing into iCal ?

    The file must be .ics. I used to simply use Missing Sync to get my calendars synced up, however it's not yet supported in Leopard.
    So, in order to get my office Outlook data over to Ical, I simply used the following "macro"
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=136194
    Simply follow the instructions...it worked well for me. all my work data got transferred over.

  • Importing Holidays into iCal 4.0.3?

    How do I import U.S. holidays into iCal 4.0.3? I can't seem to find this anywhere, not even in iCal support and this is very standard with calendaring software.

  • How to import calendar into iCal?

    I am trying to import a calendar into iCal. Here is my AppleScript:
    set theFile to "Sample.ics"
    tell application "iCal"
    open theFile
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "iCal"
    tell window "Add events"
    click pop up button 1
    click menu item "New Calendar" of menu 1 of pop up button 1
    click button "OK"
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    I have specified a full path for theFile in the actual script. Here is what happens when I run it:
    The iCal icon starts jumping and the script just stays running. If I hunt around I can find the "Add events" window and it is just sitting there waiting for interaction. If I click the pop up button and select New Calendar then click OK the file imports like I wanted and my script errors out saying it can't find the "Add Events" window. Clearly my script loads the file into iCal fine. Then it has problems. Here are my guesses as to what goes wrong:
    1. maybe the "Add event" window is modal and iCal won't respond to the script until the window is dealt with.
    2. maybe the pop up button is not a pop up button and is some other UI element .
    3. maybe there is an issue with focus
    4. maybe I have no clue, should stop speculating, and someone will help me.

    I'm stuck too. Although the Accessibility Inspector describes the “Add events” window as belonging to iCal, the script seems not to see that window as a UI element of iCal:
    tell application "iCal"
    activate -- essential statement!
    open theFile
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "iCal"
    return UI elements
    end tell
    --> {window "iCal" of application process "iCal" of application "System Events", menu bar 1 of application process "iCal" of application "System Events"}
    It doesn't even seem possible to bypass the process by using the keystroke command.

  • 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

  • Is there a way to import a pdf calendar into iCal?

    My employer issues my calendar in pdf format. Is there a way to import this into iCal? Either directly or is there a way to automate a conversion to some format and then import?
    many thanks in advance.
    b737guru.

    Hi b737guru,
    pdfs might contain visually structured graphics, but they don't necessarily contain internally structured data. Which is what you'd need for a conversion to the iCalendar format, the format that iCal's .ics files use. So I don't think you're likely to find an easy solution.
    Your best bet is to try and get the data from your employer, before it is printed/formatted to a pdf file. If there are enough of you campaigning, they might consider .ics as an alternative to .pdf. Google Calendar, FaceBook and Microsoft Outlook can read .ics, which makes it fairly universal.

  • Importing Outlook calendar into iCal

    I am relatively new to Apple and one of the few things that is taking the gloss off an otherwise happy experience of working in this new environment is my inability to import my Outlook (2003) Calendar from the work office into iCal on my home iMac. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me if this is possible, and how it might be done so that I do not overwrite the appointments I already have entered in iCal. Thanks.

    Don't blame Apple for this. Blame Microsoft. ALL of Microsoft's products (Outlook, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Office,etc.) were created in proprietary & closed formats, designed to keep you "locked in" to Microsoft and Windows as long as possible. Microsoft makes it nearly impossible to move any of your data out of their products and into a competitor's products.
    Apple, on the other hand, has designed all of their products with open standards and open formats, so your data is never "locked in" like it is with Microsoft.
    In the meantime, luckily you can use the product Outlook2Mac to get your data over from Outlook's calendar to iCal.

    There are no plans to add that functionality that I am aware of. I am usually not informed of updates until it comes out.

  • Import my iCal into Google Calendar

    The new Google software makes it easy to copy the Google Calendar into iCal but when I try to import my iCalendar into Google Calendar, I have to select a calendar. I have no idea which of the files in /Library/Calendars to select. How do I tell?

    You may want to import all of them. There is a different calendar folder for each group that you have in iCal (like work, home, etc). If you don't want to import all, go to /Library/Calendars and inside each .calendar folder is an events folder with .ics files inside. Open any of these files and it will start iCal and take you to the event so you can find out which group it's in.
