New Event...not appearing in iCal

When I double-click in a date to create a new event, nothing happens in my iCal, however, the new event is showing up in iCloud and my iPhone. It just says New Event, but nothing in iCal on my desktop.

Where did the original VCS file come from? Some systems will create files, but in a format that doesn't match Apple's format (or the standard).
Specifically, if there is a space between the colon and the data value in the vcs file, then ical will complain:
Download the VCS file attachment to your desktop. Double-click on it, ical should see it, but then complain. Check "console.log" via the Console application, and you'll likely see an error like:
2006-11-02 11:21:27.256 iCal[725] Incorrect version for vCal file. Got ' 1.0'
2006-11-02 11:21:27.256 iCal[725] Fatal vCalendar parser error !
Note the space prior to the 1.0 in the error message. Technically, that's a bug in whatever software which produced the VCS message, as there is not supposed to be a space (IIRC), but why ical is so picky as to not allow/ignore the space, I don't know.
Using TextEdit (or similar) you can remove the spaces after the colons in the file, and it will import successfully (unless you're seeing a different problem).
I have no solution for doing this in any automatic way -- anyone have suggestions?

.vcs event not appearing in ICal

I downloaded an event that came in a .vcs format. When I open it and add it to my ICal it is not appearing in ICal. Can anyone help?

IPhone Events Not Appearing on iCal . . .

Well, here's something interesting.
After updating to the newest version of iTunes and 1.1.4. I lost syncronization of events created on the iPhone to iCal. I know there are several posts on this topic. I've tried all those suggestions with no luck. But here's the interesting part of my issue . . .
After syncing the iPhone to my iMac, iCal does not show the iPhone created events. I decided to sync my iMac calendars to .Mac. Then I synced the .Mac calendars to my MacBook Pro. Viola, the iPhone created events (which never appeared in iCal on my iMac) did appear on iCal on my MacBook Pro. Weird, huh?
I thought it might be a corrupted plist on my iMac. I deleted com.apple.ical.iplist, but still no change in the display. Any ideas anyone?

I have the same problem happening. And I sync to my iMac but also have a MBP, so I tried what you did. When the sync app on my MBP informed me of changes I clicked on the details button, and I saw it was going to try and add the iPhone calendar that I specified for events created on the phone. It was also going to add two events from my phone that I wasn't seeing on my iMac. So I proceeded with the sync. But after it was done, iCal on the MBP did not show me the iPhone calendar nor the events that were created on the iPhone.
I don't have any ideas other than finding out if you have submitted this information to Apple as a bug report?

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Best wishes

Event created on iPhone does not appear in iCal

When I create an event on my phone and sync, it does not appear in iCal. Events created on my laptop sync without issue. Contacts sync both ways, but calendar events do not go from the phone to the computer. I am not using MobileMe to sync, simply using the USB cable.
I have tried the following to resolve my issues:
* Make sure iTunes and iPhone are up to date
* Make sure all calendars are set to sync with iTunes
* Try different USB ports on the laptop
* Restart phone and computer
* Reset sync history in iSync and re-sync
* Follow directions in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 to do a full reset of sync history and re-sync
Yet after trying all of those solutions, I still cannot sync events created on my phone to my laptop. Does anyone out there know of anything else I can try that might work?
Thank you,
Cameron

After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
0) Plug in iPhone
1) Start iCal
2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
3) Quit iCal
4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
5) Start iCal
6) Import all exported calendars
7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
8) Sync iPhone

Events not showing in iCal, but do on my iTouch Calendar

I am syncing my iCal 3.0.7 with GoogleCalendar using Calgoo connect 2.1.3. It uploads new events to my gCal, but if I create new events in gCal, they won't show up on iCal. I thought this was a Calgoo problem, but when I sync my iTouch with my computer, the invisible events will become visible on the iTouch, but still invisible on iCal.
Any ideas? Is there a setting on iCal to make certain events within a calendar invisible that I'm missing? All the "hide to do" options in iCal preferences are unchecked.

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?

How do you date and time stamp iCal entries? We share an event calendar and need to know when a new event was entered into iCal.

BKBK,
Thank you for your response. That does adequately cover the
client-originated sessions, but still leaves the ability I am
looking for unavailable.
It did serve to definitively answer my most pressing
question, however, with this statement:
Note: ColdFusion cannot create a session if an initiator
application uses a SendGatewayMessage method to start an
interaction with a client, such as an SMS user. In this case, the
sending code must keep track (for example, in a database) of the
messages it sends and their destinations. When a response event
arrives, it can look up the origniatorID to determine whether it
was in response to an outgoing message.
I will play around with the Application scope to see if there
might be a workable solution there.

Events received in Mail not appearing in iCal

My fiancee is having some problems with iCal. When she receives an event it used to (and still does on my machine) appear in iCal automatically, whether she had read the email or not. Now, to get an event from Mail into iCal she has to open the attachment.
Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Is she receiving them as iCal event invitations from an iCal user?
If so, for me anyway, these do show up directly in iCal without opening them in Mail. And as you're aware, they are counted up with the little red number on the iCal icon down in the Dock.
Now when I get invitations for my iCal from OUTLOOK (non-iCal, basically) users, this never happens. I have to explicitly open the invite in Mail, double-click the icon to get it over into iCal, etc.
If you're talking about pure iCal-to-iCal invites, I agree, her system is not working as mine does or I would expect it to. Maybe take a look into iCal -> Preferences? --DG

Events do not appear on ical

I recently upgraded to snow leopard to comply with Mobileme mail syncing. I'm receiving invites but they do not appear on my iCal. I have to manually save the ics and import into calendar. This used to be automatic . . . . What am I missing?

I have been having an issue with iCloud for several months. I add events to my iPhone5 which do not appear in the iCloud, or propogate to my MacBook and iPad.

ICal Event Invitations Not Appearing in iCal Notifications

When my wife sends me an iCal invitation from her iMac to my PowerPC Mac, the invitations arrive in my Mail inbox but not in my iCal Notifications.
My "Me" card lists my three email addresses.
My "General" Mail preference, 'Add invitations to iCal:', is "Automatically".
My "Advanced" iCal preference, 'Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail", is checked.
Any tips or suggestions? I seem to recall getting this to work by setting the Mail preference which automatically enables the iCal preference then manually disabling the iCal preference while ensuring the Mail preference is still set to Automatically but that's such a kludge.

figured it out. it was a time zone syncing problem.

ICal and CalDAV: Added items in sunbird do not appear in iCal

Hello,
I hope the question fits the forum and has not yet been answered. Sorry if it is the case. Anyway, here is my problem. I have this CalDAV account that I want to use both on my mac using iCal and at the office using sunbird (computer on linux).
This works perfectly well when I create or delete events in ical, i.e. the changes are reflected in sunbird. However, for some reason I don't understand, when I create, modify or delete an event in sunbird, this is not updated when I launch iCal. It seems that iCal does not update itself.
Has anyone ever experienced this ? Any help on this would be great. Thanks a lot.

Hi
I indeed checked and I've set it to update every 1 minutes. I even update it by hand and the new events added in sunbird do not show up. So I don't know, may be the events added under sunbird are not exactly in the same format as the ones added by iCal and that would be why iCal don't add them...
If anyone has any idea of why it's not appearing I am interested. Thanks for the help

Single MobileMe Event not syncing to iCal on my Mac

I'm pretty sure this is not the first time I've had this problem but it has arisen again.
I have a single event, which I created on either my iPad or my iPhone last Friday. This event has synced to the other device (iPhone or iPad) and to MobileMe (http://www.me.com/calendar). However, it is not showing up in iCal on my MacBook Pro.
On my MBP, I deleted the MobileMe (CalDAV) calendar from iCal and then recreated the account. The missing calendar event is still missing though all the other evens appear to be there!
If I edit the event on my iPad, it still does not show up on my MBP though the other devices get the update (e.g. adding a Location).
If I create a new calendar event on my iPad, the new event does show up but the missing event remains missing.
I'm running OS X 10.7.1 (Lion).
Any suggestions on
why this is happening,
how to fix it (other than just deleting and recreating), and
more importantly, how to prevent it from happening in the future?
Thanks!

Here's a fix:
1. Open iCal and Export all your calendars to .ICS files (example, home.ics, birthdays.ics, etc.), save it on your desktop. Quit iCal.
2. Delete the folder User/Library/Calendars and all contents inside
3. Open iCal, import all your exported .ICS from above.
4. Sync your iPhone.
Fixed it on 2 iPhones that have iCal sync issues with Leopard 10.5.1!

How do I get new events to appear in Photo on my iPad?

I have been uploading photos to my iPhoto on my Mac and these are gradually appearing in my photostream on both my Mac and on my iPad. In iPhoto they are all arranged into Events but no new events are being created on my iPad, I'm just getting the photos gradually appearing through Photostream. Having said that, I'm not so sure that the most recent photos from the past week or so are even being uploaded into Photostream unless this takes days to do.
Both are on Wifi, Everything is turned on for iCloud on both devices and both are using the same account. If I look at the Photostream page in iPhoto it says "Uploading 70 photos to Photostream" at the top but it's said this for ages and doesn't seem to change.
Can anyone help me please?

I have this same problem. On the photo tab I used to have it checked for everything to sync. But it gets stuck on syncing the photos and doesnt complete. The events on my Mac stopped syncing to other devices as soon as I got a new ipad air. The events that were on iphoto at that time are the last to show on all other devices. When I am in photo tab i cant even select the events that havent synced because they are showing as a choice. But they are an event in iphoto on the Mac. Frustrated.

All day event not appearing in month view

If I know there is an all day event on a day and I click into it from month view it is there. But for some reason I cannot see any of them from moth view. There is no colored or gray bar indicating an event.
There is one in week view. And if there is a timed event it appears in month view.
In a separate, and puzzling, event I lost all my events. Putting them back in, but not sure if this happened with 1.4 or new Facebook update.

There is an old thread on this issue. Its by design that all day events do not show up in month view and not a bug. Many users (myself included) would like this to change. I suggest using the feedback and feature request page to let them know.
