Publish Calendar Group and events location lost

After publish the Calendar Group, which may contain more than one individual calendar and coded in different colors correspondingly, the published online view of the calendar group shows only one color. Is there a design fault in this? Shouldn't the published Calendar group retain the original individual calendar colors?
Also, the published calendar, individual events lost their locations. When I publish the calendar I checked the box for title and notes. There is nowhere for checking the location. Is this the reason for not publishing the location? Please correct the design. Thanks.

I'm also wondering why iCal event locations and URLs don't appear in a published (via .Mac) calendar. When I click on an event, I get Subject, Date, and Summary info (which is equivalent to the Notes field). It does not show the Location or URL field, however.
Any ideas on how to get this information on a published calendar?

Publishing Calendar Group to .Mac Causes Duplications

I am running iCal 2.0 in Tiger. I have three calendars under the Calendar group "Published". I then publish the "Published" calendar group to my .Mac account. Every time I refresh the publication (which happens automatically with "auto-refresh") it duplicates every entry. This is repeatable so I can have four, five, etc. instances of the same event published. If I unsubscribe and republish, it starts over again.
This only affects the published calendars on the .Mac server (ical.mac.com), not any local or .Mac Sync calendars.
I'd appreciate any help.

I seem to have this working now, G5 and Powerbook both running the same iCal calendar which is syncronised. Both machines have publish switched on along with auto update.
One thing I noticed while testing this evening, the names I was originally publishing under were things like "Study Calendar" or "Myweb.net Calendar", when published using these types of names (spaces and punctuation) the .mac website calendar always had a last updated time of 1970.
When I republished the calendar using a single word name like "Calendar", the published date was correct on the website.
Once I saw the publish day as being correct, I turned on auto update and proceeded to make changes in iCal on both the PB and the G5. All the changes thus far have been syncronised correctly between the machine AND with the website without duplication.
I am not sure if this is a long term solution as I've only been testing for 10 minutes or so. Perhaps the duplications will come back after a while but its certainly something to look into if your publishing your calendar with names longer than one word or with punctuation.

I updated to ios 7 2 days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appts and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 7 two days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appointments and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7. Rebooting the phone and the computer failed to remedy the calendar sync problem.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

Calendars and event data lost in mountain lion upgrade from snow leopard on mac book pro

I just upgraded to mountain lion today. It appears my contacts and emails were transferred without loss to the new system but all of my calendar data and the calendars themselves have disappeared. Does anyone know how I can get my old calendars and event data back? I backed up my laptop on time machine before doing the upgrade, so my old calendars should be on my external hard drive. I'd like to simple recover the data from the laptop if it is just hidden somewhere. Alternatively, if someone could tell me how to import the backed up calendars back in that might be a good plan B. I also still have the old calendars on my iphone which I am afraid to sync for fear of data loss.
I looked through previous responses in the community to this same question and I tried deleting the account and adding it back in but that did not work. Any assistance would be appreciated. Apple support is giving me an cold shoulder that is rather unexpected given my past good experience with Apple support. Bummin out over here

Which way do you reinstall OSX?
I would go through the recovery partition, check Disk there and then run the installer. make sure you have a reliable connection the the Internet.
This could be a third party app you have running in the background that is crashing. what exactly is crashing ?
are you getting kernel Panics?
You are not able to simply roll back to Snow Leopard, you will have to have a SL disk, and then erase and install SL onto you hdd/ssd. This will erase ALL of your data so I hope you have a Time Machine backup or bootable clone.
I believe your issue is with a third party application installed.
More information is needed.
Call 1-800-My-Apple or file a dispute here https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
On a personal note, I think you are missing out on ML and need to figure out if there is an application running that is causing ML to crash.
Usually a reinstall fixes my issues.

Published Calendar has same event multiple times

Hi, I have created a calendar group with four sub groups on iCal. On iCal, each event shows up only one time. However, when I published the calendar and went to check on it...each event is on each date a min of 3x, up to 15x...
what's up? how do I fix this????
thanks

I am Tiger 10.4.2 iCal 2.0.2 and having the same problems. I haven't found a way to prove this, but I think iCal publishing is only smart enough to deal with 1 Mac. My problem started when I turned on .Mac syncing for iCal. My .Mac account is syncing my three macs (1 home, 1 powerbook, 1 powermac at work) and guess what? My appointments show up THREE times.
Does anyone know if Apple is looking into this unexpected side effect from .Mac syncing published calendars? If not, I will give them a call on the phone to escallate this. I am guessing that there are multiple scenerios that make .Mac get confused and essentially treat a duplicate as if it was unique.

How do I stop Calendar overriding my Event location

Hi
When creating an event in Calendar, the software is quite 'helpful' in offering suggestions for the event location as I type.
However, if I don't like any of it's suggestions, or wish to override the suggested location, the software seems to stamp it's feet and insist on formatting the location data the way IT prefers.
How do I stop it doing that?
For instance, I am attending an event at the "Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5EA"
Calendar finds a very close match for this and replaces my location with
"116 Pall Mall
London
England
SW1Y 5EA
United Kingdom"
Apart from the excessive screen real estate taken up by those superfluous new lines, it doesn't include the name of the location - "Institute of Directors" - and it includes 2 countries - England and United Kingdom - that I don't need to know because I live here.
Can I not keep my own preferred format in the location field?

I just fixed this issue by turning off the location support on iCal on my iPhone. If all your devices are synced up that may be causing the issue.
After turning off location support I was able to enter the address I wanted. It gave me a choice to stick with my address or choose from the list of suggestions. After refreshing iCal on my computer it displayed the correct address.
Hopefully your fix will be that easy!

Publishing Calendar Group to Web

I'm trying to publish an overlayed calendar group to the internet via OWA but seem to running into a brick wall everyway I turn. I can successfully publish a single calendar without any issue but my brief is to publish all of our meeting room calendars
to the internet and for them to be visible via a single site/link. Has anyone had any experience of doing this before and is it even possible?

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, there is no option in Outlook to publish Group Calendar to Internet. When you open Group Calendar in Outlook, the Publish Online in Share option is grayed. Maybe we need to look for any third party tools for more help.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

Calendar Groups for Events

I had in the past created two "categories" in Calendar: one for "Home" and one for "Work" ... I thought I recently created a new one called "School" - there seems to be a drop-down arrow in front of the colored box for "School" that does nothing. I'm unable to use "School". I then tried to edit it or use it or create something new and now there's a new "category" called "Untitled 2" which I CAN use .... how do I get rid of "Calendars" I don't on "On My Mac" and use ones I do want? Also, can I select the color or are the colors pre-assigned? Also, I "subscribed" to "Birthday Calendar" but don't have any idea how to use it, activate it, add to it....

Hi,
Outlook.exe /cleanreminders switch will clear and regenerate reminders.
Does this problem occurred for just one user?
I suggest the following several methods to check this issue.
Open outlook with command: outlook.exe /cleanviews, this command will restore default views. All custom views you created are lost.
Switch outlook to online mode.
Check in OWA.
Best Regards.

Thanks for your replies. The reservation I have around the /cleanreminders switch is that effectively, the notifications are fine (they appear when they should) - but it's the underlying appointment which isn't showing (unless the reminder pops up
and you open the item). Will the reminders be regenerated if the actual appointment doesn't appear? Or will they disappear too?
Only one user gets these notifications, he created the appointments in the shared calendar. The notificiations and the appointments don't show in OWA - I'd expect the same with Outlook in online mode.
The worst thing to happen is lose all trace of these appointments.
Kind Regards,
Paul

Contacts app goes directly to "Groups" and I have lost all my contacts? How did that happen and now do I get them back?

I added a contact last night to my contacts list on my iPhone 4S. Today I have no contacts at all. When I select my Contacts app it brings me to a screen that says "Groups". Under that there is only the name of the contact I added last night. I have never synced my iPhone to a computer so they wouldn't be there and I looked in iCloud and the contacts are not there either. Anybody know what happened here and if I can get my contacts back?
Thanks.

I did too is everyone had this problem too?

Good afternoon all, I use my iPad 2 calendar like a diary and it is perfict as I travel globaly for work, how do I transfer the calendar notes and events out to use in reports etc?

Good afternoon all
I travel globaly for my work and use the iPad calendar as my diary and it is perfect as it has the times things are done how long was spent on each thing and notes regarding contents and outcomes of meetings.
The down side is I cant just send this information to myself to cut and paste into reports etc. I have to read off my iPad and retype it into my report document.
Is there a way arround this without changing to a diferent program as the calender is great apart form that.

Why can you not copy from calendar and paste into report? Is the
report being done on the iPad? If yes, what is the problem with cut
and paste? If no, can you sync the calendar to the same computer/device
as the report and then cut and paste there?
What am I missing?

How do you publish multiple groups to one calendar ?

I have half a dozen groups to sort my contacts by in Address Book, ie Customers, Prospects, Suppliers, Family etc. Now I want to publish my iCal calendar so my call answering service can see where I am in the week.
How do I publish to one calendar so they can see all my appointments as it would seem you have to select one group to publish to one calendar and then publish a second calendar for another group and so on. This will get tedious as they would then have to refer to 3 or 4 different calendars, one for Customers, one for Prospects etc to see where I am all week.
Any help much appreciated.

you can create calendar groups and then publish them on the web - go to file > publish new group and then drag the calendars you want into that group.

ICal won't recognize calendars in a calendar group

First - I do not use the cloud, everything is stored on my local hardDisk
Second - the problem is only with iCal. Other programs can see calandars within calendar groups just fine.
Third and most importantly - I apologize in advance for misspelling calendar (or anything else) as I am sure to do so many times.
My problem: All of a sudden iCal stopped recognizing anything inside a calendar group.
I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
I have multiple calendar groups, all containing calendars inside them and a slew of events for each.
When I click on a calandar within a group and add a new event it popps up with the right color, indicating that it will be saved within that calandar group, yet inside the actual event (in the edit screen) the calandar associated with it is null. Specifically I can't choose anything because everthing is grayed out. The only thing showing are the names of the various calendar groups I have, but none of the calandars inside those groups show up for me to select them.
Notice that the new even is GREEN indicating that it will go into the World Holiday's calendar inside the group Holidays. Yet inside the details of the even it shows that the associated calandar is Lightfoot, the only calendar not inside a group. The only way to make World Holidays an option is to move it out of the group, but that defeats the purpose of groups.
As stated before, the calendar groups show up and work fine in other programs, the problem is unique to iCal alone. Here is a screenShot of mail as I try to add a new even from there.
See how it is giving me the option to put the event in ANY of the calandars whether they are inside a group or not. This is how iCal was working up until Tuesday the 19th. This is also what I just finished doing when it broke. I have tried the following with no success:
- deleting all the calendars/calendar groups and working from a clean/error free archive of iCal
- deleteing my cache files
- installing a dummy user with admin privelges to see if the problem ports over
- reinstalling OS X (not erasing my data but in essence reinstalling iCal)
- verifying the disk to find any errors (there were none)
- reparing disk permissions (they were all fine but I repaired them anyway)
- contacting apple support (nice guy, but so far can't figure it out either)
It appears to be a hierarcy issue inside of iCal alone. It is as if anything inside a calendar group (calandars and events) is unreadable by iCal, like the hierarchical structure is corrupt or there is a bad line of code in there somewhere. Any ideas on what I should try and do to fix it?
Thanks!

I too am having this difficulty. It just showed up today (3/27) and nearest as I can figure, is somehow tied to the latest Mountain Lion update since I just installed that from the App Store. That said, I'm no closer to figuring out what to do about it.
I am also running 10.8.3 and am steering clear of the Cloud because it doesn't support calendar groups.
Like you, I can get things in the right calendar/color if I click that calendar then add the event. But if I then go into the individual event it is being labeled as something else. I think it is actually putting it in the correct calendar, because if I click between events and watch the calendar bar on the left, it switches between the different calendars and groups appropriately. It is a bit frustrating though that if I want to switch an event's calendar assignment, I now have to re-enter it, rather than just switching it through the edit pane or by right-clicking.
Here's hoping someone out there will see this and have a solution.
Cheers!

Publishing calendars in Lion?

I just bought a MacBook Air. I thought I would create a new calendar with my horseshow dates and publish it. We have had published calendars before and they are so helpful. This year was complicated by multiple horses, multiple clubs, various types of events - we all know what it is like. When I finished the calendar and clicked on Publish, I got a message saying the request creates a conflict and that the calendar cannot be published. When I request to publish, I am asked if I wish to publish to Mobile.me, which I do have.
What have I done - or not done? I havent had problems with this before, so I am guessing I missed a step in Lion? Or is this part of the big get ready for iCloud?
Any ideas helpful!

I don't know whether Lion has added any additional complications, but in any event you can't publish a calendar which is listed under your MobileMe login name to a web page - you can only do this with calendars listed under 'on My Mac'. However you can share a MobileMe calendar, though the recipient needs to use a CalDAV client (such as iCal or Google Calendar) to view it. Please see this page for details:

Mail changes my name to some odd contact or calendar group

For some strange reason Mail is showing my name as "Holidays in the United States" over the last week or so - prior to that it was "Gateway Tenants Action." The "Holidays ..." name is one of my calendar groups and the "Gateway ..." name is one of my Contract groups. I don't have the slightest idea why this is happening and I cannot find any relation between these names and myself in any part of the Contacts program. I had thought this was a bug in Mavericks but it is happening in Yosemite too. Any suggestions????????
[iOS 10.10, Mail 9.0, Contacts 9.0 on a Mac Mini [late 2012].

This was driving me nuts too! Mine has been saying "Holiday In The United States" for several weeks.
Here's what I did and seems to be solved for now:
In Mail, click on the "Holiday In The United States" label (should have a little down arrow), so you get the dropdown menu.
Select "Remove from Previous Recipients List"
Close and re-open Mail
After doing this, I'm now just seeing my email address. Hope this helps!
