No To Do list from iCal?!!

Just bought an iPod Touch on Friday. Everything seemed to be syncing fine until I put some things in my To-Do list in iCal for this week. The Events showed up fine (i.e. a 9:30 am appointment)- on the Touch, but not the To-Do list. I just spent an hour on the phone with customer support, only to be told that the To-Do list shows up on the older iPods, but not the Touch or the iPhone. What?! My 5 year old Sony Clie synced more completely than my Touch!
I am hoping that I was just talking to someone who was incorrect. I cannot believe that Apple would strip out a huge chunk of functionality from the calendar and still market it as native and complete iCal. Hence the post here -- have any of you gotten your To-Do list to show up on the Touch?
Thanks in advance!

No, the tech was correct - the To-Do list does not transfer to the IPT. Many people feel that it should, but no one on these user-to-user forums can implement that. (As an aside, RE: +"market it as native and complete iCal"+, they don't, at least not that I've seen - and the IPT app is called "Calendar", not iCal.)
I'd encourage you to submit feedback to Apple requesting this feature (they won't "hear" your feedback in these forums):

Hope this helps...

  • Can I see my to do`s list from ical on the iphone?

    I use iwork 08 and I allready have a to do list on my ical, but in my iphone after sync I only see my calendar, contacts, etc. but not my to do list. How can i see it?

    I use a combination of Toodledo.com (a free online To Do manager, though I upgraded to their $15/yr "Pro" service) and an app for the iPhone called "Todo" (oddly enough) by Appigo. This iPhone app syncs perfectly back and forth to Toodledo.com and of course you can manage your to do list via Safari on your Mac or any browser from anywhere (like Internet Explorer at work, airport, etc). It costs $9.99 from the iTunes store, but its well worth it. Less structured than OmniFocus (which is overkill for me) and works via the web so I can access my data from anywhere on any device.
    Also, through Toodledo.com you can subscribe to a shared iCal calendar that contains your To Do list - so, while you can't edit through iCal (must edit on the web at toodledo.com or on your iPhone via Todo or the toodledo.com iPhone-specific webpage), you can SEE your to do list on the side pane of iCal.
    Works very well, actually. At the least I can see my to do list when iCal is open, and the web app is very easy to use. And Appigo's iPhone app Todo is very well written and has a great interface. There is also a Dashboard widget you can download that lets you manage your to do list.
    And Appigo also has an app called Notebook which also syncs notes back and forth to Toodledo.com ($4.99 I believe from iTunes).
    (I have no relationship with Appigo, but I did buy both of these app and I think they're well worth the price).

  • Print event list from iCal

    I manage different calendars, private, work, hobby etc.
    Now, I would like to print a list of upcoming events from one of those calendars.
    My iPhone has a "list" option that does exactly what I want, but I can't print that.
    I have tried File/Print selecting only the wanted calendar and a date span, but I don't get the expected result.
    iCal will print ALL the days within the time span, including dates with no entry. I would like to see only a list with events...
    Is this possible in iCal?

    The only way I have found takes a few steps, but it is not too complex.
    - It requires the desired events to have a common set of characters in each event so the Search function will pull them out together (e.g., xxx, day, class, etc.).
    - These common characters can be in the main event text box at the top of the event, or they can be anywhere in the event (in the location field, in the note section of the event at the bottom, etc.)
    - Next, be sure the Calendar is selected on which these events are listed (top left corner click on Calendars and put check in the appropriate box(es).
    - Next, click in the Search box in the top right of the main Calendar window and type the common characters set you entered in all the events (e.g., day).
    - This opens a window pane at the bottom of the Calendar window.  To make the window pane larger click on the top of the window pane and drag it towards the top of the screen.
    - In the window pane is a list of all the events that meet your search criteria.
    - Click on all the events you want to print (<shift>mouse click on a range and <command>mouse click work here)
    - Select print Calendar (File/Print, <cmd>P, ...)
    - In the print window, first select or unselect the Calendars to print (so only the desired Calendar keys print)
    - Next, in print window, at top in View, select "Selected Events"
    - Select the print options you want
    - Click on Continue, with takes you to the Printer window, and select the print and click Print (or PDF)
    Done!
    I believe this is much harder than it should be. I haven't yet found a 3rd party app that makes this any easier.

  • How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical

    How do I remove a lunar calendar from Ical -- it is not listed as a calendar in Ical when I open Ical

    Look at some of the lunar events, and see what keywords they are using - eg moon or phase. Use one of those keywords in the search box. Find the earliast occurence in the list and delete it. This may take out all subsequent occurences, or you may have to delete them individually.

  • Calendar missing from iCal's list.

    Noticed today that our Work calendar is missing from iCal's list. Checked partner's iMac, iPad, 2 iPhones, MobileMe. Missing from all of them. Turned off syncing with MobileMe on both iMacs & all other devices. Quit iCal/Calendar on everything.
    In Finder window selected ~/Library. Entered Time Machine. Selected ~/Library/Calendars. Selected a timeline a few days back. Clicked Restore. Said 'Keep both', & removed original from Library folder.
    Opened iCal. When it first loaded the calendars, Work was there, but it quickly disappeared and what's more, events added in other calendars since the timeline date chosen were there too. So there's something else (to do with Sync Services?) I need to turn off or delete....?
    I'll be very grateful for enlightenment here.
    OS is 10.6.8

    These are evidently MobileMe calendars, to which the Apple Tech Note linked to above does not apply; and turning off syncing in System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync has no effect on iCal syncing which no longer uses that method.
    This is why your calendar is disappearing: MobileMe sees it as deleted, so every time you add it back in from Time Machine (whereupon it has an earlier modification date than the deletion) MobileMe brings it up to date by deleting it, and also updates the other calendars.
    There is a method for dealing with this issue, though it's a trifle complicated and you need to work through the steps carefully and exactly. The process is detailed here:

  • How can I view to-do-list from my Mobileme ical in my Ipad?

    I can not view in the ical in my iPad the to-do-list from my Mobileme ical.
    Where is the to-do-list in the iCal in the iPad?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I don't believe you can get your iCal todos on the Calendar application on the iPad. This question is more relevant in the iPad forum. I suggest you also post it there.
    Best wishes

  • HT200196 iCal reminders are clogging up my computers, iPads and iPhone.  When I view the Calendar list in iCal, it seems it has added a new calendar every time an event is added.  I have a calendar list that has grown to over 100.  How do I remedy this?

    My laptop, iPad, and iPhone are being clogged by repeated iCal alerts.  Every time an event is added, it seems another Calendar is also added.  When I view the Calendar list in iCal, there are over 100...and the number is growing.  They can not be deleted with a simple "Select all" or "Delete All" and, when deleted individually, the list quickly grows to huge numbers again rapidly.  How do I keep this from happening and eliminate the excessive number of calendars?

  • IPod not showing all Calendars from iCal

    I just got a new iPod classic and when I hook it up to my MacBook and sync my calendars from iCal not all of them show up. I have tried syncing all and some selected, but if it didnt show in all, it wont show even checked off. Is this a bug in the system?
    Thanks

    Hello Kristen,
    Have you double checked the media type of these TV Shows in iTunes? To do so, locate the TV Show, right->click on it and choose "Get Info" from the Shortcut Menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab. There should be an option for *Media Type* with a drop down list next to it. Make sure that is set to "TV Show" and nothing else. Then hit OK when you are finished and sync the updated changes to your iPod.
    Another thing to check is the settings you have configured from under the *TV Show* tab for your iPod in iTunes, when you have it plugged in. It may be set to sync all "unplayed" episodes. You will want to change this to something that is more fitting.
    I would start with these two possibilities, and then we will go from there if need be.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to delete all events from iCal?

    Is it possible to select and delete all events from iCal? Or is it simpler to delete the calendar itself? Thanks!

    Sorted now!
    To clarify for people like me: type "." in the search bar
    Then click on the first item in the results pane
    Go to the other end of the list, hold down shift, and click the LAST item
    They should all be highlighted now
    Then use Edit/Delete
    NB it may take a couple of mins (or ten!) for the items to disappear from your view, particularly if syncing with MobileMe.

  • Not all calendars to import from iCal

    Hi! I hope someone can help me.
    I'm trying to import a calendar from iCal to iPhoto but there are only 2 calendars listed in the iPhoto list (and I have 6 in iCal). To make it easier to understand, I took two pics of my screen:
    This is the calendars available to import in iPhoto: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/565/screenshot20100110at133.png
    This is the calendars that I have in iCal: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/565/screenshot20100110at133.png
    I want to import the blue "Birthday" calendar under Delegates.
    How can I do this?
    Thank you.

    First move the iCal preference file, com.apple.iCal.plist, and the iPhoto preference file, iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that reside in your User/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop. Launch iCal and reset the preferences. Next launch iPhoto and do the same. Go to the calendar, enter the Settings pane and see if the Delegated/Subscribed calendars are visible.

  • Getting reports from iCal

    I am using iCal to keep track of marketing projects, and it's working great. I need a way to be able to show completed projects each month, and I need to be able to show that data in a format that my Windows-using co-workers can access.
    I've created a couple new calendars called "Completed projects PH" and "Completed projects MJ" (the initials designate whose projects they were), and in my To Do list, I assign completed projects to those "calendars" to distinguish them from work in progress. I want to export those "Completed projects" calendars into a file I can open in Excel or Word or something. But I haven't found a way to do that. Has anyone else? Or am I asking too much from iCal?
    By the way, I tried using a program called iCalMaker, which looked promising. But the current version cannot read To Do items, only events.

    Use the search box to display in the search list just the relevant items, select and copy those in the appropriate time frame, and paste them into Word or Excel.

  • How do I delete meetings from iCal without notifying everyone?

    How do I delete meetings from iCal without notifying everyone?  I've searched the Web and the only answer that comes back is to use a product that doesn't help me with Microsoft Exchange.  This seems like a fairly simple thing to fix, but has been outstanding for 3+ years.  Really?  Am I the only person who wants to remove old meetings from an Exchange calendar without whacking the entire calendar and its appointments and without having the original participants getting spammed?
    I'm using the built-in "delete events xx days after they have passed", which you would think wouldn't do this.  Guess again.  I cannot control the fact my clients use Exchange, and it's a fairly common e-mail system for enterprises to have.  Are there any solutions?
    Thanks!

    I was just experiencing this problem on Mountain Lion. The calendar I wanted to delete was on iCloud. So, I logged into iCloud from a web browser, and selected Calendar. On the current incarnation of iCloud Calendar the calendars are listed on the left. I selected the "Edit" link at the top of that list and chose delete. It indicated that the items would be deleted, but there was nothing about notifications. Then, when I went back to iCal on my Mac, I selected the calendar to be deleted, right clicked, and slected refresh...
    ... gone.
    It probably would have disappeared on it's own eventually. I'd be curious to see if theis works for others, so please confirm.
    Good luck.

  • Contact list from old ibook

    How can i import my contact list from my old ibiook. I have everything backed up on an external HD via time machine.
    I can see everything plain as day on the HD.. pics... music... documents, but cannot find my contact list.
    where is it? how can i get it on my MBA
    Thanks

    Go to Address Book in your old computer and Export > Address Book Archive in Leopard or Backup Address Book in Tiger. Copy the archive or the backup to your new MBA. You can 'import' archive or 'revert to backup' to have the new address book show the old data.
    I do the address book backup aka archive once a week and save to documents, ditto with iCal. That way I have them saved regardless of other backups. With more than one computer, I save the archive or backup to the other file-sharing computers so that they are all synced but backup'd the old ones regardless. I do not replace the old backups with the new ones, I add them.

  • Cannot rename Reminders List in iCal for Exchange Task List

    I figured out that Exchange Tasks show up in OS X Lion as a Reminder List in iCal.  When I create a new Reminders List in iCal using File > New Reminder List > Exchange, it creates a new list with the name Untitled in the Reminders pane of iCal.  I can then rename the new (Untitled) list that I created by selecting the corresponding Reminders List from the Reminders drop-down and double-clicking over the Untitled name to rename it.  It seems that iCal successfully renames the Reminder List, but once it syncronizes with the Exchange Server, the Reminder List that I just renamed changes back to Untitled. Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or found a solution?  I don't always have the ability to log into Windows and would like to have the functionality to manage my Reminders Lists from my Mac.

    This worked for me:
    The Problem: I also had the problem where I couldn't create a Reminder List having the same title as a Calendar List.  At one point I think I had the title of "Work" as both a Reminder and Calendar List, then when I deleted it from the Reminder List, it wouldn't allow me to create it again, and would go to Untitled.
    The Solution (try at your own risk!):
    (1) Backup the Calendar that has the same name.  Select the Calendar by clicking the Calendar button in the top left and click on the calendar.  Go File menu -> Export -> Export... .   It should show your calendar name with ".ics" at the end, save this somewhere.
    (2) Delete the Calendar: Click the Calendar button in the top left and right-click on the calendar, choose delete.
    (3) Create the new Reminder list with the name that you want.  It should now allow you to.
    (4) Import the calendar you backed up in step 1.  Go File menu -> Import -> Import... and choose the .ics file you backed up. I've done this last step in the past but not this time around since I actually didn't care for the calendar to come back, so I don't remember the exact process after here.  I think it either gives you an opportunity to merge the events of the ics file into an existing calendar, or you can create a new calendar for the importing events.  If it doesn't give you this second choice, then first create a calendar with the name you want, select it, and start the import process over again.
    Hope this helps!

    I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email.  When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced.  How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

    With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
    In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
    That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
    Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.
