Question. Calendar.ics.

Calendar.ics.
I am using IOS 6.0.1 (IPhone 3s and IPhone 4).
I am connectet to my job e-mail (Outlook Ezchange 2010).
When I receive an e-mail on my IPhone with an attached file, Calendar.ics I am unable to open it. What kind of settings do I have to do?

Thank you for your feedback I will pass it on, but as I understand the default calendar can only show different colors for different calendars, not sub-calendars.

Mountain Lion calendar .ics invitations don't go to date of event

Hi there,
I installed Mountain Lion recently as a stepping stone to Mavericks.
When I receive Calendar invitations in the form of .ics attachments and open them Calendar does not take me to the event.
This means that I have to trawl through Calendar trying to find the event before I can see if it clashed with anything else and accept it.
I was using Snow Leopard before and .ics files would always take me to the correct date on the Calendar.
Ant ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
I've searched the forums for hours but not come up with anything. Possibly because I'm not entering the correct search terms? I don't know and I'm frustrated by this new foible.
Many thanks,
Richard.

ICal - multiple calendars ics attachment issue

I have multiple calendars configured within iCal (iCloud, gmail, work). Work is configured as default/primary when receiving new invitations. When I accept an ics invite, it automatically appears under iCloud. If i change it to work, the invite disappears from my calendar view. If i disable iCloud and gmail, accepting invites into my work calendar functions properly.
This was not an issue prior to upgrading to Mavericks. Appreciate any assistance
Thanks,
Gautam

Hello
I can offer no help, but sympathize with your dilemma. I love that you can set up several calendars on iCal and view only what you want. I have set up calendars for b-days, bills, school, work, my wife's school..... and I love how uncluttered the separate views are.
It sounds like the only option would be (and Apple must love this!) to purchase an iPhone or iTouch so that you can just keep your calendar with you, and forget about accessing your iCal on any PC.

Access Question- calendar

Okay, so it's been a while since Access released their version of the Palm software. I ended up switching back to ver. 4.2 because it (knock on wood) has been running fine on my Vista computer & still has my color-coding, which I really need to keep track of everything. But, looking on Palm's website, I can see they are advertising the Centro & other phones with color-coded calendars shown... does that mean they have worked that into Access' version or are they just showing older examples. I would gladly install the Access version- if it had all that I expected from my beloved Palm Desktop software. But I thought I'd jump in & ask. Plus, it may be the make or break point before I recommend a Centro to someone else who is currently shopping for a smart phone but also wants the ability to color code. In the old days I would have recommended Palm in a heartbeat, but with the new software... I'm not so sure.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

PD 4.1.4e should synchronize data, but the Quick Install tool is said not to work. There are other options to install Palm application and data files, if color-coding categories is important. Read more on the subject here.

Iphone Calendar - .ics - Wrong Time - IOS5 - 4S

I also made a previous post a new message see below
I think I have the same issue, on my iphone and also agree appears this is a multi year issue
Details:
- Phone - Iphone4s
- IOS 5
- Exchange is not used on the target - me or calendar is kept only on the phone. - Small company example.
Appointments from Exchange outside users, from another timezone then mine, get imported (opening the .ics file) incorrectly with the wong time (or time offset). My issue appears that the time used in the body of the email is always used, rather then the the time relative to my location. I have called Verizon, and Apple and they were not able to help. This appears a bug, and the unforunately the reason I will be returning my iphone. Very sad, as I like my iphone, but getting the correct times on my meetings in critical, and based on what I read an issue that has stumped apple for a few years. Sad as it does not appear that complicated.
To reproduce:
- Open Outlook (web or thick click) - testdd in on the Outlook web client and change timezone (say to mountain time)
- Create a meeting invite and send to your iphone email address (my timezone is in eastern time)
- Open the .ics and the time will be incorrect, the appiontment will also be locked (another annoyance).
On a side note, I also noticed .ics will not update exiting appiontments, take the example of an appointment time changing, another problem.

This fixed it for me ( I have iphone 5s, but had the same problem with 4s) =
settings-mail-contacts-calendars-time zone support- "off"
settings-general-date&time-set auotmatically-on ( and time zone set as appropriate).
After turning the time zone support "off" , my calendar was correct. It reflected the change on the event instantly but took a minute or two to update the scheduled taskes ( the little section under the calendar itself)
When it was "on" it showed the time for events as pst., then when I turned it "off", it showed the event at my local time(mountain).
hope this works for you guys. best of luck

Question: Calendar posted apointments and bold dates

The normal behavior for group wise when one adds an appointment for the calendar is to show the date of the appointment in bold on the 'Calendar View'. I.E. the panel of small month calendars on the left of the main calendar panel, between the folder panel and the main calendar panel.
It would be nice for me, if there was a way to designate some posted appointments to not cause the days in the Calendar View months to be bold. I use posted appointments to block off daily time I do not want to be available for meetings. But since I have these times blocked off for every work day, ALL the days in the Calendar View are bold. Thus I get no benefit of being able to glance at the Calendar view and see what days coming up have meetings. Thus, it would be nice if I could designate some appointments in some manner so that they don't display in this way.
Any chance that this exists as a feature. Or am I too unique again and want some software feature that nobody else cares about?

How can I publish an ics file to a remote server from my calendar server?

I am running Lion Server and have Calendar Service up and running. I have an account with a couple of calendars, one of which I'd like to publish to a remote server, as an .ics file.
From an iCal client it is possible to publish local calendars, but not remote calendars (for which the only option seems to be to 'Share').
How can I can I publish an ics file to a remote server? Programatically, if necessary.

I have this working now.
curl -s --digest -u username:password -o calendar.ics http://hostname:8008/calendars/users/username/calendar/
generates the .ics file, and a combination of cadaver (from webdav.org) and an expect script upload hourly (via cron) to the remote server:
set timeout 60
spawn /usr/local/bin/cadaver
expect "dav"
send "open https://remotehost/path/\r"
expect "Do you wish to accept the certificate? (y/n)"
send "y\r"
expect "dav"
send "put calendar.ics\r"
expect "dav"
send "close\r"
expect "dav"
send "quit\r"

Can't subscribe to .ics calendar

Hello,
First of all, sorry for my bad English.
I have published a calendar from Ical to my private server (Imac running 10.6.2). When I want to subscribe to that .ics file from an other computer (other Imac running 10.6.2), it fails. When I subscribe from a computer running OSX 10.4 or 10.5 there's no problem.
This is the error:
*There was an error subscribing to the calendar.*
*The data downloaded from http://server.name.lan/calendars/name.ics isn’t valid.*
I think the problem has to do with the server settings. But I don't know for sure and I don't know how to solve. The server is a Xserve running 10.5 server. For some reason Ical have permission top place the .ics file, but he can't acces is anymore. The permission settings are oke, everybody on the network can read and write the files.
I could send the errors if someone need them to help.
Thanx

The authentication requested is a javascript form of the apple web interface to ical (Web server -> Sites -> Web Services -> Calendar). It is an apple application, i didn't set up any access control, if i go into the file system of http://www.my_site.com/ical (/Library/WebServer/Documents/my_site) there is nothing. It seems all saved under:
bash-3.2# pwd
/Library/CalendarServer/Documents/calendars/_uids_/08/46/084627AA-F6CF-481C-A0EF-421E878ADBCF/calendar
bash-3.2# ls
.db.sqlite a32259e5d9222e11c83f9b8487e0e041.ics
bash-3.2#
and there must be an apple web application in order to interact with it, that is why i thought that the username and password defined in the publish calendar form were related to the apple authentication mechanism.
I'm using MacOSX server 10.6.2 on my own machine with my own domain. So what i'm doing is setting up the calendar web service on a test site, try to publish a calendar (from ical) to the location of the test site and then try to subscribe to the webcal:// ... link that he provides me.
If i try to access http://www.my_site.com/ical/calendar.ics or http://www.my_site.com/ical the apple web interface comes up asking me the credentials. If I enter the correct ones (defined in the publish form) i get the following message from the apple web interface:
Mac OS X Server
404: User does not exist
The path seems correct 'coze if subscribe from ical to webcall://www.my_site.com/ical/calendar.icsit tells me that:
There was an error subscribing to the calendar.
The data downloaded from http://www.my_server.com/ical/name.ics isn’t valid.
if i enter another path i will get this error:
A calendar wasn’t found on webcal://www.myserver/my_user/ical/mycalendar.ics. Check the URL.
If i would use an FTP application i would not find anything on that path because all is managed by the apple web service interface.
Thanks !!

Can I sync my 6300 calendar with Thunderbird/Light...

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've just bought a bluetooth dongle for my PC and only yesterday connected my 6300 to computer and updated software etc for the first time.
I'd love to be able to sync the calendar with Thunderbird/Lightning automatically as it connects. Is this possible?
And if so, is the sync two ways or just one way. I have heaps of entries in the calendars on my work computer. I'd love to be able to sync my phone while at work, then when I go home update my home computer's calendar from the phone's. If that makes sense.

A new problem is that Windows 7 does not use Windows Calendar so the simple solution from above that works for Vista doesn't work in Windows 7.
These are the steps I took. It’s likely that not all steps are required. Sorry about the messed up formatting.....
1.       Get Windows Calendar working on Windows 7.
This is very straightforward. Follow the link below. Run it once to generate the .ics file
(http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/install-windows-calendar-in-windows-7/)
2.       Tell Lightning to use Windows Calendar’s .ics file
In Thunderbird, go to calendar view, right click on calendar listed on the left hand side and select properties….change its default file to point to your Windows Calendar File (C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Calendar\Calendars\Your Calendar.ics)
3.       Uninstall software that may complicate things
If they are installed, uninstall Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Ovi Suite and Microsoft Outlook.
Make the following registry changes (messing with the registry can wreck your operating system. Don’t do it unless you know what you’re doing. I take no responsibility etc etc etc)
Thanks to “Classic” on this german forum (and Google Translate) for this bit
http://www.winfuture-forum.de/index.php?showtopic=174635
Open regedit.exe, navigate to Hkey Local Machine -> Software and add a new key called Windows Calendar. In that key add the following string values:
http://www.winfuture-forum.de/index.php?s=c1afe7229fa2613d26a1b82c604c879a&act=attach&type=post&id=3...
Reboot
Install PC Suite (compatibility mode may help, I tried it a few different ways but in the end I don’t think it matters)
6.       Tell PCSuite that its running on Vista
Go back into the registry
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Nokia.PCSync.Windows7PIM.ISynchAppU
Create an exact replica of this key (including its contents) but call it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Nokia.PCSync.VISTAPIM.ISynchAppU
(It’s likely that you could just rename Windows7PIM to VISTAPIM but I created the replica key)
You should be good to go

Is there a way to refresh a subscribed calendar in iOS?

I'm pretty confident at this point I'm out of luck, but I thought I'd ask the question with maybe different (or maybe not) phrasing than it has before.
Basically, via iCal on Lion, I subscribed to a google calendar .ics feed. I set the refresh to every 5 minutes, plus I can manually refresh. When they add a new event, I get it pretty quickly using one of those methods.
I have it set as an iCloud calendar, so I can see the subscription on my iPhone. However, when they add a new event, I do NOT see that show up on my iPhone at any particular interval.
I've tried looking at my list of calendars and hitting the refresh button, but that's no help. The one thing that definitely works is to restart the phone, but that, of course, is not convenient.
Is there a way to force iOS to refresh subscribed (not shared) calendars?
Thanks.

it looks like they took out the "Show" option under Mail settings completely and added a Flag choice instead. Don't know why.

Published Calendar

Hello,
there seems to be a problem with the Published Calendar funktion in Exchange 2010. Wenn I publish my calendar over the OWA Site and import the published calendar ics File (lets say in my iphone), I have some problems with the recurring Meetings-Appointments.
If a recurring meeting is changed (not the whole series), I see both meeting instances (original an changed) in the published calendar.We use only the OWA and not Oulook, so there is no other way to export our calendars.
Our Exchange Server is 2010 with SP3.
Is there a way to correct this problem?
Kind Regards
Ioannis

Hello,

Search for calendars with exact match

Hello,
I am work on customisation of uwc. I have problem with calendar search. I am getting the result of substring matches. I want to have exact matches. I suppose that it is some kind of configuration of Sun Calendar Server. Could you give me please some advices?
Thank you

Is this the calendar subscription search screen or the attendee search screen?
A number of the searches are controlled by the calendar ics.conf file. So try matching the directory access entry which relates to your search to the appropriate string in ics.conf and that should provide a guide as to what needs to be changed.

Can't Subscribe Can't Create New Calendar

All,
After using iCal with much success (and subscribing to calendars shared in www.icalx.com) suddenly I can't subscribe to any calendar (even those not from icalx) and I can't make a new calendar (even though I only have twelve). Even if I drag an ics file into iCal, it won't make a new calendar!
There's nothing wrong with the calendars from other places, as I tried subscribing to them from another machine.
Whenever I try subscribing or creating a new calendar, nothing happens. Even the progress bar for subscribing doesn't move! When I quit iCal and then restart it, there's a ghost calendar there either called "untitled" if I had previously tried creating a new calendar, or the name of the calendar I tried to drag in (although there is no data), or "Subscribed" but no data if I had previously tried to subscribe to a calendar.
Somebody please help me. I'm working with other people from other time zones and we rely on these things to work.
Thanks!!

Hi Benito,
What does it mean when a subscribed calendar is corrupted?
The files iCal uses to store the calendars (.ics files) are text files. (You can look at one by exporting a calendar from iCal and opening the .ics file with a text editor.) When you subscribe to a calendar you are copying the calendar file to your hard drive. If some information is missing in the file, or the data is ordered in the wrong way, this can lead to iCal not functioning properly.
The error could be on the server or your local copy, from what you write it's hard to tell. You could try subscribing to the problem calendar from another machine to see if it has the same problem.
The usual recommendation for a local calendar (one you created) with this problem is to export and then import the calendar. This means the calendar is re-created from scratch. You can't use this solution with a calendar you are subscribed.
I hope this helps.

Enter username and password before subscribing to an online (OneDrive) calendar

Hi guys,
I use microsoft outlook at work but I at home I have a macbook pro and an iphone. Therefore, I would like to see all appointments and events from my outlook calendar on my apple calendars as well.
I published the outlook calendar (.ics) on onedrive, which is microsoft's cloud service. Then I tried to subscribe to the calendar on my macbook. After entering the calendar url I get the following error message:
"There was an error subscribing to the calendar. You do not have permission to access the calendar at https://...."
Supposedly, I have to enter my onedrive username and password. But the programm does not ask me for it. I just get the error message.
How can I enter the credentials before the the mac calendar tries to subscribe to the online calendar?
Appreciate your help
cheers

How to Read Outlook Exchange Shared Calendars on iPhone?

My company uses microsoft outlook exchange and I have been using iphone syncing with this outlook exchange calendar. Besides my own calendar, on the outlook exchange, I have access to another shared calendar. I want to be able to read this shared calendar on my iPhone but cannot figure out how to do it. Previously I learned from other postings that iPhone doesn't support it.
The new OS 3.0 support CalDav and I am wondering if this will enable me to read the shared calendars of my outlook exchange on my iPhone. Does anybody know how to do it? If the current firmware solely doesn't support it, might there are other ways to do it with supports of other apps? How about through Google Calendar? Or there are any apps can automatically copy the contents in the outlook exchange shared calendars to my outlook exchange calendar?
Does anybody have solutions? Many thanks!

The shared MS Exchange calendar is ICS format which SHOULD be able to be added as "Add Subscribed Calendar" in the Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account/Other screens on the iPhone.
I'm tring to add a 2nd Exchange Outlook calendar only and need it to sync over the air.
Just can't find the correct way to get it entered to work? The link sent by Outlook (I'm running 2007) when you send the invite doesn't work and copy/paste to the server name is also a bust. Have tried direct copy paste, cutting off the webcal:// prefix, etc. Just won't authenticate.
No documentation that I can find on either Apple or MS site to validate the exact syntax required.
I can hit the https link provided by MS on my Safari iPhone browser after entering my MS Online ID and access the calendar online. And yes tried several of MS Online IDs that I have as UID/PW in the iPhone config screens without success.
A little more info on my config.
3gs 32mb
Have exchange acct as primary email with email contacts and calendar working
Have CalDAV link to my wife's Google calendar working
Have several other subscribed calendars (ics) working: US Holidays, AmericanHistory.com, and my TripIt profile.
I DO NOT want to use MobileMe to make this work. Life would be so easy if iPhone would just support multiple Exchange accts!
Funny thing I just noticed...spell check on forum IDs "iPhone" and "MobileMe" lol

Question. Calendar.ics.
