Selecting certain ical calendars

Wondering if you can select only certain calendars in ical from a list of calendars on the touch like you can on a Mac? Seems that the only choices are ALL of the calendars or one specific calendar.

I just tried, and found no way
Maybe a thing to ask for: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

  • How do you select the ical calendar which an event is added to?

    Since switching from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4, I cannot choose which ical calendar to add an event to. It used to be an option when you created a new event, but now it creates all events in a new calendar, called 'calendar', which I neither want, nor seem to be able to delete. There appears to be no way to select the calendar or edit which calendar the event appears in. This is important to me as my 'work' calendar is shared with multiple colleagues.
    Can anybody help?
    Al.

    Perfect, thank you!

  • How do I set my wife's iPhone to only see certain iCal calendars on her iPhone?

    My wife and I just purchased 2 iPhone 4S's.  We are sharing one Addple ID and one iCloud account with our iMac.  I keep several iCal calendars, which were all created on our iMac.  I am able to access them and get alerts from my iPhone with no problem.  However, she also receives the tasks from all of the calendars on her iPhone as well.  Even after I click the calendar icon on her iPhone > go to the iCloud calendars and uncheck all of my calendars, my tasks still keep showing up on her phone.  How can I set it so she only sees calendars she'd created or those that are intended to be shared?  Do we have to have 2 Apple IDs and/or iCloud IDs for this?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I'm not sure why when you uncheck the calendars on her phone that the calendars are still visible within the app, that isn't supposed to be the way it works.
    Why are you averse to having individual iCloud accounts.

  • Selecting ical calendars to synch with iphone

    I synch my iphone with my imac using a USB cable. I want to be able to synch with selected calendars only. Even if I deselect calendars in itunes under info when setting up iphone synch, it still tries to synch all calendars. Is there a solution for this?

    If you are syncing calendars direct with iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, the options under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes after selecting sync iCal calendars are all calendars or selected calendars. If you choose selected calendars followed by selecting only the calendars in the window below that you want available on your iPhone, only those calendars selected should be available on your iPhone and kept synchronized with your iPhone.
    If not, try selecting Calendars for replace info on this iPhone below the Advanced section under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Select Apply followed by a sync.

  • ICal Calendar Colors Changing On Their Own; iCloud Connection

    AGGRAVATING PROBLEM:
    Many in this forum have written recently about a problem ongoing for people with multiple iCal calendars where iCal calendar colors change "automatically" when you haven't selected those colors, or even "change back" before your eyes to some color your DIDN'T select after you select a new one.  If you log into iCloud on the Web and try to change the color of certain calendars, they refuse to change.  Try as you might, the color you want for your calendar won't "stick" and it is forced to be the wrong color on all your devices.  In some cases, even the names of some of the calendars cannot be changed.  On other calendars in your list, the colors and names will change fine. 
    Related symptoms:  Calendars you have deleted "come back."   Or, calendars you did not create yourself show up in your calendars list, such as "Calendar" or "Home" or even "Untitled."  Note that the problem seems to be most prevalent with calendars with names "Home," "Work," OR either of these words in the NAME of the calendar.  For instance, "Bob's Work" might get snagged (it can't be deleted without coming back or its color is stuck and "comes back"). 
    I spent a long time on the phone with a helpful Apple senior advanced specialist on this problem today.  We conducted a very large number of "experiments". Our family has two iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iMacs, so it was easy to rule things in or out.  I will present some information that may help.
    SOME OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOING ON:
    First, Apple has not resolved this.  But the problem appears to be related to iCloud, and NOT to individual devices.  After de-linking all of my individual devices from iCloud, I could change any of the colors or names at will on any given device, create new calendars and then change their colors to whatever I wish, delete calendars, change names...no problem.  However, after re-linking calendars to iCloud, all the problems mentioned above returned.  The chances that my iMacs, iPhones, and iPads are all causing the problem independently is very low. They also have slightly different OS versions on them, so it is not likely an a particular device OS, though that could be indirectly related.  Also, the colors "change back" within about the same time (usually a few seconds to up to 30 seconds) that it takes to do a "refresh" (i.e. an update) to the iCloud servers.  This when iCloud is turned on, and the absence of it when iCloud is turned off (for calendars), strongly suggests that it is the iCloud server and its interaction with your devices that the fundamental cause of the problem.
    Apple has said that they are aware of this problem and their engineers are working on a fix.  Historically, this can mean just a few days, or it could be a few months, years, or "whenever."  They don't give estimates of when it will be fixed.  Exactly WHY this is happening is unclear, but my guess is that it is a modification to the iCloud server code that Apple implemented without testing it thoroughly enough to discover this problem.  Apple does not admit to that, of course and I don't know if I am correct.
    A WORKAROUND SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME:
    Please note this is a workaround and not a full fix.  Apple needs to run a patch on their iCloud server code.  Until then, I did the following which seems to have worked for me for now.  Read the whole list before deciding whether to proceed.  I don't guarantee it will work in all situations.
    Note...I found I was stuck for now with the color of ONE of my calendars.  If you are like me, you want to keep that one and work around it....
    Backup first... Make sure that your iCloud copy of your calendar data has the calendar event information you want to save - even if the color is wrong.  Log in at www.icloud.com and do a refresh to sync to the Cloud.  Check over your calendars online to make sure the event data appears to be there for all of your calendars (even if their color or name is not what you want).
    Steps:
    1.     Go to every device that you have linked to iCloud separately. Go into Settings, iCloud, and then uncheck the "Calendars" option.  This delinks your calendars for that device to iCloud.  As you do this on each device, when prompted, select "Keep On My" ..iPAD...iPhone...iMac... etc.  This will preserve the calendar information on the device so it won't be deleted.  I think this is safer, but you can click on "Delete" if you want, too.  Note - if one of your devices is an iMac, with OSX Lion and before, you may be forced (I was) to delete the iCloud calendars from the iMac.  So again, make sure they are backed up to the Cloud first (or somewhere else).
    3.     With the iCloud Calendars Option on all your devices still turned off, go to the WEB and log into iCloud.com.  You need to figure our which calendar iCloud won't let you change the color for.  You probably already know.  On iCloud.com, click on "Calendars," then click open your calendar list and select "EDIT" at the bottom of the dialog box.  One at a time, click on the color dots next to each calendar name and try to change the color (you can put any back after the test if you want). You will probably see a certain one that just goes right back to what you don't want.  This is the one for which the color is stuck, but you may be able to change the name of it now that your devices are unlinked from iCloud.
    4.     Still in iCloud.com, change the names and colors of any of the other calendars you wish to change.  Delete any empty calendars that mysteriously appeared without your wanting them.  Take note of all the calendars, names, and colors that are on the final list of calendars.
    5.     On EVERY device, BEFORE turning iCloud back on on ANY of them: Change the colors and/or names of calendars, delete calendars, etc. so that the calendar names and colors on the device are exactly the same as what you left in iCloud.com in the last step.
    6.   One at a time on each device, go back to Settings and then "iCloud" and check again the box for "Calendars."  You will be asked whether you want to "MERGE" your data with iCloud.  I selected MERGE to ensure I didn't lose anything.  Link each device again into iCloud one at a time.
    7.  When each device is back, go back to iCloud on the Web, or go into iCAL on one of your devices.  Set to view ALL calendars.  Look for duplicates of some of your events.  I found quite several as an artifact of "merging", but in my case it only took me about 5 minutes to go through quickly and delete the duplicates.  It deleted the duplicates on all of the devices at once, so I only needed to delete dups on one device.  I did not find that I lost any events as long as I kept one valid copy.
    Again, no guarantees...hope this works for others.  Good luck.

    I'm getting the same thing and it's really bugging me! Keeps changing colour to one I do not want and I have tried everything to get it to stay the colour I have chosen!!

  • Relink an existing iCal calendar after re-installed the OS10.5

    Hi all,
    I have to re-install the OS10.5 because I couldn't be able to login to the machine.
    I have an iCal calendar which published and shared to my colleagues before I reinstalled the OS. Now I would like to link back the existing calendar with the same name without any interruption for other people.
    Anyone can help?
    Many thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You can certainly transfer older data files from one computer to another under most circumstances, but you should always do so using the Migration Assistant on your new machine to transfer your entire user account, and never try to selectively copy bits and pieces of one environment to the other. Doing so under limited circumstances may result in the desired outcome, but the process is severely complicated when OS X generations differ from one to the other - when, for example, you want to move OS X 10.3.9 data to a new, intel-based 10.4.8 machine.
    There are several reason why such moves are prone to fail, including the different file structures used across OS X applications between generations, the differing storage locations for such files, subtle and often unapparent but critical differences in PowerPC and intel versions of the OS, and their supporting applications like iCal and the Address Book.
    Here is more information on the Migration Assistant:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
    That article outlines the best practices for moving data from one machine to another, and from Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later to Mac OS X 10.4 of any generation.
    The version of iCal you downloaded is incompatible both with Mac OS X 10.4 and later, and with the intel platform you attempted to install it on. The way to reinstall, upgrade or update iCal 2 and later under Mac OS X 10.4 or later, is explained here:

  • I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year.  Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar.  Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

    I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar.  When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in.  Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year.  The photo calendar is almost complete.  Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

    Hi,
    If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
    Best wishes

  • How do i get Thunderbird/Lightning to see my 2009 iCal calendar

    friends:
    i'm using mozilla thunderbird and postbox as my email client. they both support the Lightning plugin which looks pretty cool.
    i would like to be able to read and write to my iCal calendar from Lightning. i know how to create a calendar in Lightning. it asks if the calendar is on the net or local. if i select local, i get an empty box for the location of the calendar. i don't know what to put in it!
    i've seen some notes on making Lightning talk to google calendar, and this might work, since i'm also using busysync to push my calendar up to google for my MS friends to read and write.
    i also use daylite, which interacts perfectly with iCal, and i use missing sync to sync my palmOS treo to iCal.
    thanks,

  • Can I sync a single iCal calendar only and not all my calendars?

    I use iCal at work and at home. I have two calendars: work and family. I use my .Mac account to sync my two calendars between my home computer and work computer. While at work today I subscribed to several of my employees' iCal calendars so that we could coordinate our schedules. However, now those employee calendars are being sync'd to my home iCal.
    Is there a way to continue using my .Mac account to sync my home and work calendars but not those of my employees??? Thanks in advance!
    Joe

    Thanks for the thought. I just tried that and when I select .Mac in iSync it tells me I no longer use iSync to sync and it opens the .Mac preferences window. The .Mac preferences do not seem to allow specific calendars - just check whether you want "calendars" to sync....
    Is there another way?

  • When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?

    When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?
    Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
    I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
    Please help !
    Nick

    Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
    Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
    Any ideas welcome !!

  • ICal calendars displaying in iCloud

    I subscribed to an iCal calendar on a high school sports schedule website.  I have iCloud for iCal tunred on. The events showed up in iCal on my Mac, iPhone,and Ipad as they should.  However, when I logged into iCloud they were not displayed.  Obviously iCloud is workng and knows about the events.  However, subscribed calendars are not listed with the rest of the calendars on the selection list in iCloud, so I can't check them and have them displayed in the iCloud calendar.  Do I have that right? Why not?

    Sounds like I have the same or a similar problem.  Since I migrated to iCloud, all is well with my contacts, calendars, etc. on my Mac, my iPod Touch, my MacBook, etc. --- but when I went to the iCloud site today, and chose "calendar", everything there is blank.  And yes, in iCal preferences, all my calendars show as "iCloud" calendars --- but in iCloud (the site) itself, there is nothing there that can be seen.  To add to the mystery, I do not have this problem with contacts: all of them are visible when I go to the iCal site.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

  • No longer able to save iCal calendars "on my mac"

    I have some of my iCal calendars saved "on my mac", and some of my iCal calendars saved "on iCloud".
    After updating to 10.8.2, syncing of calendars in the iCloud settings preference pane were not enabled. I enabled it, and was asked if I wanted to merge calendars on my Mac with calendars in iCloud. I answered "yes", and after that I have no longer the option to save a new calendar "on my mac".
    If I create a new calendar, the only option is to save it in iCloud (I have an option saving it in .Mac, but that is obviously no longer working since MobileMe is no more).
    Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to be able to save new calendars "on my Mac"?

    Hi,
    I'd recommend trying two things to see if it solves your problem:
    1. Restart the Windows audio service. Press your Windows key + R to bring up the Run dialogue box. Type in services.msc and select the Windows audio service. Restart it. Now try to select your TV as the audio device.
    2. If the above step is unsuccessful, restart your computer while the TV is on and connected to your laptop through HDMI. Audio should play automatically.

  • Selecting and synching calendars

    How now do you use iTunes (for Mac) with Mac OS X 10.9 to synch your Entourage 2008 calendar with your mobile devices, iPad2 and iPhone?  In previous editions of iTunes, you could select a particular calendar, such as Entourage, to ensure you were not getting outdated calendar events from previously-imported Exchange server info from Offic Outlook calendars or from iCal on your home iMac.  It now appears you have no opportunity to select only the calendar used on your iMac, in my case the Entourage 2008 calendar.  How does one use only the Entourage 2008 to maintain calendar entries on the iMac as well as the mobile devices?

    Here is the weird problem I am having. I have done the sync and followed the steps with the /syncselect link. However, I can get ONLY my sub calendars to appear in iCal and not my default (main) Google calendar.
    I've removed the account from my mac, added it again, that didn't work. Then I removed the sub calendars, added those again (through sync select), neither of those worked. I even tried to add it in as a manual calendar using the long URL specific to the calendar with the /user at the end (CalDAV old settings) but that also didn't work.
    Anyone else had this issue?

  • Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

    Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?  I don't need the calendar grid.  I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates.  Is that possible? 

    Not easily. Two possibilities:
    1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
    2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
    The first one will probably give you what you want.

  • TS3999 Sync Problem: Home iCal Calendar from iMac - iPhone 3GS via iCloud

    I'm unable to sync Home iCal Calendar from iMac (Snow Lion) to iPhone 3GS via iCloud - events appear correctly on iCloud.com but not pushed to iPhone. However Home events created on the phone sync fine in other direction (appearing correctly on iCloud & iCal) - but they can only be amended on the phone.
    My other Work iCal Calendar works perfectly in both directions.
    Have tried various suggestions to fix but to no avail. Any help appreciated - thanks.

    Really appreciating your help/time; it's so frustrating to try & sort this on your own!
    So when I switch off iCloud on the phone, it asks me if I wish to retain the events from the iCloud - and I select it to delete them.
    Then I go back into Calendar app, and I press on Calendar button(top left) I can see the On My iPhone" Calendar. If I select this to display I can see the events previously described. I then shut the phone off.
    Having restarted the phone, I go back into iCloud settings to switch Calendars on and to at last answer your question (!!) there is no question to ask me to merge data (this good as it would duplicate entries)
    Going back into Calendar app, it claims to be displaying both Home & Work calendars, but it only shows events in the Work calendar.
    I've tried this a number of times and it is totally consistent in its failure to take Home events from the iCloud; I can't see anything different in the setup of the 2 calendars - do you think its a bug?
    Thanks again
