Order of calendars in iCal

I have a list of 11 calendars in the left hand column in iCal. They are all under my [email protected] heading. Of the 11, 2 are calendars I am subscribed to and they belong to another MobileMe user.
Problem is that the other users' calendars keeps rising to the top of the list, and so when I open iCal and double-click in a day to create an event, I get a warning that I can't enter the event (read-only).
I want one of MY calendars to be at the top of the list- I keep moving the shared calendars down the list, but they keep popping back up. Anyone know how to rearrange the order?

If you use iCloud with your iCal, be VERY CAREFUL! If you stop using iCloud, you will lose ALL of your calendars, even if they were orginally on your Mac. It's as if once you use iCloud, your data is sent to Apple, then that data is erased from your Mac. Other than a warning that the data will be deleted from iCloud, there is nothing warning you that ALL of your data will be gone. No options! No settings! No warnings!
I stopped using iCloud within a few days of starting it. It ruthlessly abducted 99% of my internet bandwidth for its updates; everything slowed to a crawl; browsing simple websites took 15 minutes to download... EACH! I thought I had a virus until I noticed my router going crazy (as well as my network seen in Activity Monitor). It was as if I had a virus. Finally, I realized this all started when I activated iCloud. To test my theory, I shut down iCloud, thinking it was no big deal. It fixed my network problem, but totally erased ALL of my calendars, schedules and appointments.
I have no idea if my thousands of Aperture photos, Pages documents (legal contracts), Keynote presentations, etc., years of data, would be gone if I were to have uploaded them, too.
After the constant 3.7-year (avg) cycle of losing my data, emails addresses, etc. to a new Apple "improvement"...
iTools   2000 - 2002  (2yrs)
.Mac   2002-2008  (6yrs)   
MobileMe   2008-2011  (3yrs)
iCloud   2011-Present (???yrs,  2011+3.7 avg = 2014 end of life?!)
...I have finished trusting Apple with my data! Apple isn't building "data farms" and servers, they are building immense data incinerators.

  • Ordering Calendar from iCal?

    So I wan to order my calendar from iCal so i click buy and it tells me the price and thats it. How do I print it and pay for it?

    Are you trying to buy an iPhoto calendar?
    After you press the "Buy" button and see the price of your order, you need to press the blue button "pay" in the lower right corner to place your order.

  • Google calendar and iCal

    I have a  google calendar and all day events appear out of order in ical they are fine in iOS apps on the iPhone and the iPad, but on the desktop they are all messed up and it appears to random because every day they are ordered differently? Any advice would we welcome

    Thanks John,
    I was afraid of this, It is strange because on the google calendar everything is in order numerically. When I access the calendar in iCal they are different each day and it appears random with no rhyme or reason. also strange that on the iOS devices everything is in order.
    thanks for the help.
    regards

  • How do I change the order of calendars, including some subscribed, in Calendar App?

    I have a few calendars synced to iCloud, as well as some subscribed calendars, that are also pushed to iCloud. How can I change the order of these calendars in the list in the Calendar application?
    I am aware that changing the order of calendars within the Calendar app will not work; you have to change the order of the calendars on iCloud.com, and the new order will propagate to your devices. But, subscribed calendars do no appear on iCloud.com. I can change the order of my own calendars on iCloud.com, and that relative order does appear in my desktop application; But, how can I position subscribed calendars within that list, given that they aren't displayed on iCloud.com? They seem to appear randomly within the list, and there is no way to control where they appear.
    Is there a way to control the order of the calendars within the Calendar application? (seems ridiculous that you can't)
    What determines the order of subscribed calendars within the list?
    I am using the Calendar application (formerly iCal) on Mac OS X 10.8.5, with iCloud.

    Have you tried clicking and dragging them into the order you want in the Calendar application?

  • Problems viewing calendars in iCal after OS upgrade

    I just upgraded my OS from 10.4 to 10.6, and now several of my calendars within iCal don't show up (2 show up, but 4 are "missing"). I've synced with my iPhone, and all the events are still listed on my phone, but I can't see them on my computer.
    Any suggestions on how to make it so that I can see these calendars again?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    It sounds like something went wrong in the upgrade process of iCal under 10.4 to 10.6.
    Try the following in order:
    1. First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    2. Go to Your User > Library > Application Support > iCal
    __Move this folder to your desktop (this is the old 10.4 calendar location. don't misplace it)
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Check iCal at this point. Did the calendars come back?
    3. If not then quit iCal and follow this help article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html
    Check iCal at this point. Did they come back?
    4. If not then go into the iCal folder you put on your desktop and look for several folders with extremely long names. Inside each one is a calendar called "corestorage.ics". Each one of these is one of your calendars.
    Open each one, one at a time by double-clicking. When prompted, add each one to a uniquely named new calendar in iCal until you have restored the missing calendars. You can then delete any duplicate calendars that might have been imported.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • I can not sync my palmTungsten E2 calendar with Ical

    I have problems trying to get the calendar data of my palm in order to sync with Ical. I don't have problems getting the address book or other data.

    You are likely to to find this problematic. However this Apple Tech Note does suggest it should be possible and gives you some information:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25515
    You will require iSync and, if you have not done so, you may need to download the iSync Palm Conduit (if you have iSync 2 or later you won't need it).
    How well this is likely to work on Leopard (which your signature says you have) I can't say - the document was written with 10.3 in mind. You will probably realise that it won't work with anything higher than Snow Leopard (the Palm Desktop does run on that and will sync with a Palm device, but I don't know whether iSync is any use on it) - Lion and above cannot run the Palm Desktop and iSync will not talk to the Palm without the conduit (which won't run either).

  • HOw do I reverse sync iphone's calendar with ical on my mac?

    I think I must have selected Mac to iPhone when syncing the first time and now it's set in perpetuity - I can't even merge my calendars, can only enter it all on my Mac's iCal for transfer to my iPhone calendar. If I enter data on my iPhone, then sync, it gets dumped.
    So - how can I reset iTunes to make my device primary and Mac secondary? Or how can I reverse sync?

    I found two solutions to this problem on a similar discussion topic.

    I also experienced the same problem, i.e. iCal not syncing with iPhone. Contrary to most other users who experienced this problem, for me it appeared after updating the MacOS to 10.6.4, long before I updated the iPhone to OS4.
    Now, thanks to janice0927 suggestion, it perfectly works, but I had to do one more thing in order to solve the problem:
    Reset the sync history on your Mac. This is done in the iSync (located in the Application folder) preferences. After selecting "reset sync history", restart your Mac.
    Afterward, follow the same procedure janice0927 suggested. For your convenience, I copied the steps here below:
    1. You are going to be pushing your calendar from ical onto your iphone so you will lose any events that are currently on your iphone but not on ical -- you will need to update ical manually to ensure you don't lose anything important.
    2. Scroll down in the info tab in itunes to the Advanced options at the bottom -- where it says replace the information on my iphone and select calendar.
    3. Sync, check that your iphone calendar matches your ical calendar
    4. Add a new test event to the iphone (the selection you made in advanced should have automatically deselected after you sync'd but check just to make sure)
    5. Sync again -- check if your test event was transferred.
    Good Luck!
    iMac (intel - 2007) Mac OS X (10.6.4) iPhone 3G (OS4)
    Hope these work for any of you having the sync problem.

  • Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

    Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

    iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s).  So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have.  Then enable those in iCal.
    If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
    I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account.  Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.

  • Added calendar in iCal not synced to MobileMe

    I moved a calendar from "On My Mac" to my MobileMe account group, using the export-import method. The new calendar, however, does not sync to MobileMe. I even tried an overwrite (bookmarks, calendars, contacts and keychains) from my Mac to MobileMe but the added calendar still did not appear in MobileMe.
    I quit and relaunched iCal, which started an immediate sync. The new calendar promptly disappeared from iCal and I got a string of error messages (one for each entry in the new calendar, it seems) all ending with
    The server responded with
    “HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict”
    and asking me to either "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server". It didn't seem to matter which one I selected – the error just kept cropping up. Eventually, I gave up and force quit iCal.
    How can I add a new calendar to iCal that will sync with MobileMe?

    Derek,
    I presume that this procedure represents exactly what you have tried to accomplish?
    Import an iCal calendar or event
    If you use iCal and want to add your iCal calendars and events to a MobileMe calendar, you can import them.
    Hide
    To import an iCal calendar:
    Open iCal, and then select the iCal calendar you want to import into your MobileMe calendar.
    Choose File > Export > Export.
    Type a calendar name, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu, and click OK.You can store the exported file anywhere, and you can delete it after you finish importing it.
    Choose File > New Calendar, and then choose a MobileMe calendar (by default, your MobileMe email address).
    Type a calendar name (you can use the same name as the calendar you just exported), and press Return.
    Choose File > Import > Import, select your exported iCal calendar, and then click Import.
    Select the destination MobileMe calendar to which you want to add the imported iCal calendar, and then click OK.
    Quit iCal and go to the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and delete any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the name. Log out/in or restart and reattempt using the exact procedure which I copied from the MobileMe Help page.

  • How to remove calendar in ical

    I clicked on a link that added a calendar to my ical which has now synced with my Google calendar and added all the events to it as well.  Unfortunately, I did not realize that this was going to add every single instance (multiple events per day) to all my calendars.
    I'd like to reverse this action but there is not easy way to do this in ical it seems.  I cannot "delete" the calendar because it does not appear in the list of subscribed calendars in ical.
    I subscribed to two calendars this way and I'd like to remove them both.  I also have to now deal with how to remove hundreds of entries in my Google calendar....and it seems there is no batch delete there either unless I pay for a third party program....arrrgh
    If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be most grateful.

    Thanks for your reply.  I "subscribed" to a couple of motorsports calendars in iCal by visiting a direct link on the Apple website like this one: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/2011motogpworldchampionshipcalen darprovisional_gpticketltd.html    
    This adds the events contained in this calendar directly to iCal and I can't for the life of me find a way to "unsubscribe" or eliminate these entries short of erasing them manually one by one.  Unfortunately, there are many of them.
    If you know how I may go about doing this in an efficient manner, please let me know!

  • View colleagues' exchange calendar in iCal?

    Hi!
    I can see my own Exchange calendar just fine with iCal 4 from the corporate Exchange server.  However, colleagues have also shared their Exchange calendars with me - which I can see just fine on Webmail / Exchange 2007, but I would also like to view these shared calendars in iCal.
    Any help would be well appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Greg.

    Hi guys,
    "googling" I found this applescript:
    tell application "iCal"
              set color of calendar "Calendar" to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
    end tell
    Waiting for an Apple fix, you can use this. It's wok like a charm!

  • How to Sync two calendars in iCal

    OK, here is my problem. I can access two calendars with iCal (one is on Google Calendar and the other one is on a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server) how can I synchronize them the best? I want to keep both in their original place, but I also want things to show up in both.

    Stephen,
    It seems to me that you have correctly determined that it makes sense to only publish an identical calendar from one of the computers.
    After appropriately backing up your calendars, you might want to consider Resetting .Mac Sync. It appears as if both of your computers are using 10.4.6, but just in case..."If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible."
    Make sure that "Synchronize my calendars with other computers using .Mac is checked in the General Preference of the iMac.
    ;~)

  • Can I create a shared calendar on iCal from the New iPad?

    My company just gave out iPads for use to all field employees. My coworkers and I currently have an Outlook shared calendar that we utilize for scheduling our work. We can not access the shared calendars on our iPads, therefore I would like to create a shared calendar in iCal that we can all access for sharing our schedule as we were doing on Outlook. Is this possible?
    NOTE: The idea is that I would like to use the iPad as the sole resource, instead of carrying our laptops around just to access the shared outlook calendar/schedule. The laptops are outdated junk that requires roughly 20 mins of time just to power up, connect and sign in to our servers...very inefficient.
    Thank you!

    I have a bluetooth 2 keyboard from Brookstone, will it work with the iPad?

  • Printing 'checked calendars' in iCal

    I have 25+ calendars in iCal and always found the following functionality useful (which is described in iCal 2.0 Help online):
    +By default, the calendars that are currently selected in the main iCal window will be printed. Selecting or deselecting calendars here does not affect what's checked in the main calendar view, it only affects what is printed.+
    I didn't realize just how useful this feature was until I upgraded to 3.0 and it stopped working this way. Now whenever I go to print a calendar, ALL calendars are checked to be printed as the default and I have to uncheck the ones I don't want one by one (or by group).. even more annoying because the window they give you to do this in the Print dialogue box is tiny not resizable.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Any help on how I can get iCal to work properly? I checked iCal help within the application and it says the default is the same as I listed above from 2.0. Your feedback and help is much appreciated!

    I'm adding a "me too" too. This is making me crazy. I have about 10 calendars that I have to uncheck to print one calendar every day!
