Leopard ICAL (10.5) not publishing to webdav

I have 6 computers each which publishes a calendar and we all subscribe to each other using a WEBDAV server on my website. I upgraded all computers to leopard this weekend and our main calendar will NOT update. I unpublished the calendar and tried to publish again, it sends the entire calendar to the website, but then puts up an error message that I need to check my login and password info. Which work on all other computers and for my other subscriptions.
Is this a bug?
All the other computers ical works fine.

I upgraded my MBP and Dual G5 to Leopard and, of course, my WebDav server stopped working on the G5. I edited the httpd.conf file in /private/etc/apache2/ and it all started working again. The /Library/WebServer/DAVLock and /Documents folders had been correctly imported during the Leopard upgrade so all I did was:
cd /Library/Webserver/Documents
chown www:www DAVdocs
chown www:www ../DAVLock
then added the following code to httpd.conf just before the code
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
# Settings for WebDAV Server
DAVLockDB /Library/WebServer/DAVLock/DAVLock
DAVMinTimeout 600
DAVDepthInfinity On
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/DAVdocs">
DAV On
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthName "DAV Restricted"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /Library/WebServer/users
<Limit PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
Require valid-user
</Limit>
</Directory>

Ical lion will not publish to iCloud

Using Lion (10.7.2) on Mac Book. iCal has "Home" calendar and a work schedules calendar I call "Work 2012", which I built by exporting an iCal file from MS Outlook from work.
for some reason iCal is not updating to iCloud and, for the life of me, I can't understand why. Surely I'm doing something wrong in terms of settings, but I simply can't figure it out.
Any help or direction would be most appreciated. I tried searching forums for an answer, but was also having difficulty doing that.

Ack. Noob move. Correct, this is an ical / iCloud question... Or is it a Mac book question since that is the "device" I'm using.

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?

Can not publish Ical in 10.5

I can not publish my large work calender to the web. Every time I try to do so I get a message that it is unavailable. I have opened/closed; published/unpublished; exported and imported the calender and still nothing. I really need to be able to publish it
It worked till I went to 10.3

Same problem here. Publishing to http://mydisk.provider.net says
"The server responded with
"HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable"Service not available"
However simply mounting http://mydisk.provider.net as a WebDAV Disk in the Finder is no problem so I blame iCal rather than my provider for the occasional(!) error.

Outlook 2013 is not publishing calendar to webdav using settings successful with Outlook 2010

I am successfully publishing availability data (an ics file) to a webdav server, using Outlook 2010. The format of the URL is https://[domain]/public_html/calendar/
When I use the same URL in Outlook 2013, it returns the message "Contacting web server" and then "The upload to 'Calendar' failed. Failed to sign in."
Of course, there's no sign in dialog box provided. So, I change the URL to the format https://[login name]:[password]@URL/public_html/calendar/
There is no "Contacting web server". Instead, Outlook goes directly to the error message "The upload of 'Calendar' failed. The calendar was not published because the connection to the server failed. Make sure your computer has a network connection
and that you typed the correct Web address."
There's nothing wrong with the connection; I've tried this and its failed many times. So, I conclude that Outlook 2013 doesn't like a web address that includes the login credentials.
What changed with Outlook 2013 that prevents it from publishing to the same location successfully published to, by Outlook 2010?

This problem continues, and it's a showstopper. Honestly, this is so easy to reproduce and so fundamental that I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't done anything with it. Tony Chen, your answer isn't really an answer
at all. Why mark it as an answer?
Here are the specifics. I have Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4667.1000) MSO (15.0.4667.1001) 32 bit (part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013).
In my calendar, I select "Publish Online > Publish to WebDAV Server". I then have a dialog box that requires that I enter the publishing location URL.
I enter a URL (which is my company's internal WebDAV server URL), in the same form as the example given:
https://mycompany.com/calendars/
and then I click "Advanced". I select "Automatic Uploads: Upload updates periodically", with the Update Frequency checkbox checked (to select the server's recommended settings). I click "OK", and my calendar is published
periodically to the WebDAV server, as expected.
If I monitor traffic with fiddler, I can see that outlook periodically does a PROPFIND and then PUT of my ical data to https://mycompany.com/calendars/myfile.ics.
Next, suppose I want to change the publish settings in some way. So in my calendar, I select "Publish Online > Change Publishing Options".
Now, the "Location" text box has the previous URL I entered,
plus the name of my .ics file. So it looks like this in the text box:
https://mycompany.com/calendars/myfile.ics
I click "OK", and I get an error popup that says "The address you typed is not valid. Check the address, and try again." Note that I didn't type the address at all - it is what outlook put there for me.
As a side note: in Outlook 2010 the URL shown is the same (i.e., the URL includes the .ics file) but the text box is inactive (greyed out) and the "OK" button does not produce this error message).
So, already something has gone very wrong. In order to try to work around this, I then edit the text box to remove the .ics file (i.e., to put the URL back to what I originally typed,
https://mycompany.com/calendars/). But now, one of two things will happen, neither of which is ok.
In some cases, Outlook will continue to publish periodically, but when it does, it will do a PUT to
https://mycompany.com/calendars/ - without the myfile.ics suffix. Naturally, this fails, because the server doesn't know what .ics file it's supposed to put the PUT payload into.
In other cases, Outlook ceases publishing altogether. It will do a PROPFIND to the URL, but then no PUT. I have not yet figured out the circumstances of these two failure modes, so I'm not yet sure why one happens and not the other. But
they are both wrong.
So, the long and short of this is, you cannot change publishing options in Outlook 2013, because the functionality (which worked fine in Outlook 2010) is just plain broken. I have given the steps required to reproduce this problem, and it seems like
it would be easy to address. Yet it has been sitting for 1.5 years with no fix. What will it take to get this fixed? Microsoft people, please advise - if I can get it fixed by opening a support case then please say so; paying is not an obstacle.

Ical not publishing to dotmac--new information

Hello, I have been having a hard time with icalendar not publishing on dotmac. It started happening suddenly on my upgrade to 10.5.2.
The dotmac support people have been responding to my inquiries with the following suggestions (eached bumped to a higher level):
1) unpublish and republish--nope doesn't work
2) corrupted file, remake the calendar (which means re enter every entry)
3) the most recent is that my file size (1.9 mbytes) can't be published on ical.
Has anyone heard this before? It is news to me, and google and forum searches have not indication of a limit to ical file sizes for dotmac publication.
Now it seems my choices are:
1) Try to find a way to bulk delete old events (there have been some messed up syncs with missing sync that have created a lot of repeated events). There are literally thousands of individual events that have to be deleted over the 5 years I have been using ical.
2) Re enter my dates in a new calendar going forward and publish that new calendar. Frankly, that seems easiest, but I have to admit being peeved at the undocumented file limit.
It is not a matter of my idisk size or anything like that. According to the tech " and can see that it has a file size of 2 MB. I'm sorry, but your calendar is too large to be rendered on a web browser. iCal publishing is intended primarily for personal use, and not as a means of publishing such a large and complex schedule.
I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. To decrease the size and complexity of your calendars, you might consider decreasing the event repetition, or splitting the events from one calendar into several smaller calendars."
So, anyone have any pointers?

I'm also having this problem. Lots of things seem to be broken in 10.5.5. I see that iCal last published my calendar in August 2008. Spotlight no longer seems to be indexing iPhoto. I wonder what else doesn't work. Most aggravating is that Apple never seems to acknowledge these problems. As mysteriously as they came, they might go away. It just works => That's just the way it works!

ICal not publishing to MobileMe

Simple problem:
Trying to publish my home calendars to MoblieMe.
When I select a calendar from ON MY MAC, then select CHANGE LOCATION and choose PUBLISH ON MOBILEME, then hit PUBLISH ... it says the calendar has been published.
But when I choose VISIT PAGE, I get a dialogue box with the message "We're sorry but we cannot find the iCal you've requested. It's possible that it has been deleted or renamed."
Sure enough, no matter how many times I hit SYNC or PUBLISH (in any number of ways) ... the calendar never shows up.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks muchly,

Unfortunately, I am also seeing this annoying Apple bug.... Published an iCal calendar to the web, to "MobileMe" as iCal offers, whereupon it proudly announces the URLs to subscribe or view the calendar... each link leads to:
We're sorry but we cannot find the iCal you've requested.
It's possible that it has been deleted or renamed.
A similar false announcement is made when you publish a movie from iMovie to YouTube, where Apple announces the movie is published and you wait an hour assuming YouTube it taking its time, only to find out the movie never uploaded. That one can blame on YouTube (third party) making some change Apple (still?) does not know about... but iCal on a Mac publishing to an Apple service giving the same false positives is beyond lame.

After install snow leopard, ical does not show the events of some calendars

After I install snow leopard, ical does not show all the events, or simple does not show the events of some calendars that I created.
Can somebody solve this problem? Is there some update for ical?

Try the following:
1 - Go to your user account home folder, and open the library folder within it.
Look for the folder named "Calendars" and inside you might find a bunch of different folders with weird names. If they are there that means your calendars might not be lost.
2 - Look for the file "Calendar Cache". That file might be corrupted. Trash it. You may want to save a copy of it elsewhere. Once trashed, re-open ical. This should force it to rebuild its library based on those folders with weird names you saw. Your calendars should be back. Good luck

ICal still does not sync with exchange 2007 in Lion

Dear,
In Snow Leopard, iCal was not syncing with Exchange 2007. I read a lot of things on this and it all led to recurring events. Indeed, after deleting them, things started to work. But I cannot delete recurring events! I need them!
Seeing that there was soo much talk on this all over on apple, I assumed that Apple would fix it. Instead, all we're seeing is some enhanced UI.
Can somebody at Apple please make sure that this thing finally gets fixed? Really, how hard can it be, knowing that the hardware based i devices can sync without any trouble?
Just for extra information, so you know what direction to look for:
I have Windows SBS 2008 in Dutch language. Timezone is Brussels. Exchange 2007 and all updates.
The system is running a self signed certificate
Outlook works fine on the Mac. I don't want to use Outlook on the Mac but am forced to at the moment.
Mail/Addressbook sync fine. Only Outlook doesn't!
I did try deleting recurrent events and this worked for a day. Basically stopped working I think when I added again those recurring events.
There are some errors in the console:
21/07/11 11:42:36,563 iCal: Couldn't find an NSTimeZone to match the SerializableTimeZone
21/07/11 11:42:36,563 iCal: WARNING: Failed to find TimeZone Identifier for Windows MeetingTimeZone: (GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlijn, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Wenen

Please fix this,
Guido

Hi all,
I do have exactly the same problem.
But I am adding a new flavor, but I can not understand it.
I've setup two Exchange calender connections. Both servers are inhouse. The setup of the Exchange servers are most likely the same.
But one works and one not! How could this be explained?
I like to express my deep disappointment about iCal and partly Apple Mail. It is unbelievable for me, that years after Apple's cooperation with Microsoft there are still such problems.
I like my Macbooks and I certainly have the absolutely full bandwidth of all Apple products in my household and companies. But I think I have to go back to Microsoft and Sony Laptops in the near future.
Although this kind of bugs are small one's, but the hurt constantly. Apple - please fix that.
Here just for the interested reader is my console error message:

TS2167 I am running OS X 10.8.2 and IWeb 3.0.4 (601) and everytime I try to publish my website I get an unexpected error and it does not publish my changes. My website is pretty simple, mostly made up of iPhoto albums in different categories.

Where are you publishing to? Can you publish successfully to a folder on your hard drive? Have you read this webpage: Publish iWeb site using FTP. It may have a clue to where the problem is.
A quick troubleshooting fix is
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
However, when you delete the preference file you probably will have to use the app described below to select and open your domain file with iWeb:
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Leopard iCal (v3.0) takes away functionality and ruins the user experience

Why oh why did Apple DESTROY the usability of iCal present in Tiger with the horrid changes they made to iCal in Leopard? Please, Apple, put it back the way it was.
In Tiger iCal, if I highlight an event, the sidebar pops up intelligently ready for me to enter times, repeats, alarms, notes, or invitees. It was even smart enough to put it to the side with the most screen space.
In Leopard iCal, Apple has taken all that intelligent functionality away and burdened users with way too many unnecessary mouse clicks before en event can be entered or edited.
Now, with "new and improved (NOT)" Leopard iCal 3.0, if I want to add an event in the monthly calendar, I double click on the day, but instead of the sidebar opening all by itself, I must now do another double click on the event itself and yet another click on the EDIT button, all before I can actually enter an event in the real world.
Oh, sure, I can type the name of my event after the first double click, but that's useless for any events with times, invitees, alarms, or notes.
Again, what were the people at Apple thinking? Do any of them actually use iCal?
I check the iCal help and there was something about clicking a button in the lower right hand corner of the iCal window to quicking edit an event, but there is no such button there, only the push pin for to-dos. CMD-I will bring up the event window, but it still requires a mouse click on enter edit mode.
If you agree with me and want iCal back the way it was, please submit iCal feedback to Apple and tell them they got it wrong in Leopard iCal 3.0.

Lot's of folks agree with you.
The following post was very active for a while - 4300 views, 66 post until it was locked without explanation.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1201297&tstart=675
I keep thinking, maybe I'll just get used to the changes and still, every single day the use of this core application is a source of constant frustration. I keep blindly hoping that the iCal team will listen to user feedback and examine the usability of this app.
And for the record, it's never been about the info drawer - it's about overall usability and restoring such basic items as one click editing of content on the calendar, being able to have a usable / expandable long event descriptions and being able to edit with one click vs. three.
For just one instance of how they broke this, just try creating a text entry of 200 characters or more in the "notes" field and then see what happens if you add more text. Unlike this web form which automatically keeps scrolling so you can keep typing....it stops and you have to manually scroll from short line to short line. It's just unbelievable - as if they didn't QA the basic functionality with a single user that does anything beyond the most limited use of the app.

Can I sync a Leopard iCal to a Tiger one?

Have 10.5.2 at home; 10.4.11 at work.
If I populate Leopard (home)'s iCal with To-Do's from Mail.app 3, then synch via .Mac, will iCal at work still on Tiger be able to read those To-Dos?
And would I be able to synch in the opposite direction - from Tiger iCal via .Mac into Leopard iCal and hence Mail.app 3 ?
TIA!

Good question... I'm not sure. I guess it depends on how the todos are stored and synced. Unfortunately, I don't have a Tiger machine around anymore to try it out. Your best bet might be to back everything up and try it yourself

MY iCal alarms do NOT work...

MY iCal alarms do NOT work since January 2009! Not during Leopard and not now in Snow Leopard. I have tried desperately to get my sounds back and checked ALL preferences for iCal. Anyone else have this problem and WHAT can I do about it? What is the "fix" for this stupid glitch???? 911...

+*MY iCal "Update" to those who might experience the same i-s-s-u-e of no alarms popping up and no sound either.+*
I did go to my Apple Sore and traipsed up to the Genius Bar with my 24" iMac... AFTER I made a reservation online of course. I do have that great little AppleCare Protection card.
The good news is that Brad, my genius, at the Apple Store Genius Bar fixed my problem! My iCal now pops up my alarms which I "hear" clearly and on time! *Problem fixed in 5 minutes. WOWZER!* He also told me the iCal problem wasn't my fault, there were some files he needed to delete in my library and cache folders and that the problem seemed to be just a glitch that shouldn't happen again. He didn't know why the files where there... they just were. Thank you, Geniuses at my Apple Store in the Millenia Mall, Orlando, Florida.
Problem in iCal solved. *So this is my story and I'm sticking to it. ;-)*

IWeb 3.0.4 will not publish changes.

I have not updated or made any changes to my system. I am using Leopard. Suddenly, iWeb is not working. I edit my homepage, but when I publish, the changes do not appear online. I have tried several times; I have even delted the home page and created a new one from scratch. But every time I publish, it just shows the previous version. I'm trying to change a link for one of the words on the page, but it won't work. Help!

I am having the same problem. I created a new website with iWeb and when I test the connection everything is ok. The site page listing on the upper left side of the window is red and next to the site name there is a small icon that looks similar to an RSS feed icon. When I click on PUBLISH ENTIRE SITE that option grays out but nothing happens. In the past when I have published websites next to the site name there is a circle that shows the progress of the upload and when completed the list turns blue. I have cleared cache, quit iWeb and restarted the computer. I do have multiple usernames on this computer each with a different iWeb website, but none of them are logged in.
Godaddy is the host and I called their support line and all my settings are correct. Although they tried, they could not help me beyond that. My iWeb version is 3.0.3 and I am running on OSX v 10.5.8.
I have had similar problems in the past with iWeb not publishing changes, but usually after I do the things above it will work.
Please help! Thanks.

Leopard iCal - Sync is working again!!!

As so many of you I've been struggling to sync iCal after updating from Tiger to Leopard. I've read thousands of posts and spent whole nights trying to find a solution...
Apple is my thing since 1995 and this was the single most frustrating bug from Steve Jobs' farm of geniuses!
You will not believe it, but the solution is crazy simple and you will find it on the blog of Thijs Vrolix (all credits to him):
http://tijsvrolix.be/2008/01/21/leopard-ical-sync-is-working-again
It has resolved all my problems and the sync now works perfectly on my iPod, iPhone, Nokia E60 (Symbian) and from my MacPro (Leopard) to my Powerbook G4 (Tiger) via .Mac.

Which seems to have the string:
<key>home_xmlSpec</key>
<string>afp://192.168.102.3/Users</string>
Which is the incorrect home. Why is this here and how do I fix it? Do I just put the right one in there? Somehow that feels wrong in that it's only a band-aid. Why isn't this file getting updated? What is it?
