Shared iCal publisher moving timezones!

hi, i have a shared ical that is currently published from a iBook running osx 10.3 and ical 1.5.5, in a london time-zone with all the events set to Europe/London, the problem is these events happen in New York at the time they are entered on this iBook (i.e. publisher enters event1 at 3.00pm 02/02/08 - event1 is happening at 3.00pm EST not GMT).
The problem is the publisher responsibilities are being passed on to someone living in New York (OSX 10.4), if i export the .ics from the iBook and import to the new machine i am expecting to see all my events move 8 hours out!
So.... does anyone know how it is possible to get around this, so i can export and import once o transfer the publisher responsibilities??
any help would be really appreciated!

Ashish,
If you move the bip reports it takes care of the data model part as well like moving a report from one catalog folder to other (BI Answers)
Post your BIP questions in other forum BI Publisher
thanks,

How can I allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar?

Is it possible to allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar? I also want to provide different permissions to those users. Is this possible through .MAC? Is it possible on Mac OSX Server?

I would like 2 agenda synced through .Mac but it does not work.
I have 2 computers and 2 laptops. A very simple agenda with 3 calenders. Myself my partner and the office calender. I want to publish my calender and that of my partner. The office calender I would like to sync so that we can change the office calender at any location.
I set up sync only for iCall and have a .Mac account. When I change anything on any of the calenders in iCall nothing happens on any of my other locations. Even though the locations are registered as synced. I can see the sync wheel turning but at the end of it the calenders are not synced.
At this moment I fully understand the publish and unpublished calenders but have no clue what so ever what syncing does for iCall. There seems to be no functionality to it. It does not transport any calender info over .Mac. There is no visable check to see what is happening and the process of syncing is not transperent. Lots of my friends go to me for advise on Apple issues but as far as sync wether iCall or Addressbook I always tell them sync does not work and I have no clue why others have it working. I haven't met any people here in Holland either that got in working. I suppose with iCall you have to get third party software to share calenders editable calenders. Really hopeless situation, wish Apple would just have a manual stating what sync can do and what it can not. Hours wasted on this issue trying to get it to work.
Hope anyone here can help out.

ICal Publishing

I published an iCal from my Powerbook, backed up the file to my G4 moving the plist file and the iCal folder in application support. The G4 iCal no longer appears as a published iCal. What file in the library contains the iCal publishing info that I need to copy from my Powerbook to my G4 or do I need to unpublish the iCal on the Powerbook and then publish on the G4, assuming you can't publish the same iCal from two different sources?

Don't know about iCalX but you can do this without problem on .Mac..
Month view is limited by size but clicking on the day will show you that day and all events.

Is there a plain English guide to sharing iCal Calendars via OSX Server Mountain Lion?

Is there a plain English guide to sharing iCal Calendars via OSX Server Mountain Lion? The present documentation is very limited and of no assistance to a beginner like me.

I don't have a domain set up on OSXServer I just have server.myserver.private. I have no mail services at server.myserver.private. I uses [email protected] (a different server) as the email address in the setup process.
When I go to share the calendar it requires a valid email address, rather than [email protected], so I enter my email address as a test, I try many other email addresses too but the server responds with an error stating " (email adress) was not recognized by the server. A new invitation has not been sent.

How do I decline an invite on a shared ical calendar?

My team uses a shared iCal calendar for our team events. How can you decline an event in a shared calendar without deleting it completely off the calendar for everyone else?

I don't personally use shared calendars, but this article appears to address your question: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2683.

Ical events moving.

Events I am entering into iCal are moving a day before or after where they are originally placed. They are also moving to very random times. Sometimes they even disapear. Can anyone help please.

To transfer all Mail.app data, Address Book data and iCal data without using the Migration Assistant, do the following.
Quit Mail on the G4 and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Copy the com.apple.mail.plist file.
Quit Mail on the G5 and using the Finder, place the copy of the Mail folder from the G4 at Home > Library on the G5. If there is an existing Mail folder, this will replace it.
Place the copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file from the G4 at Home > Library > Preferences on the G5. If there is an existing com.apple.mail.plist file, this will replace it.
Launch Mail on the G5 and it will be identical to Mail on the G4.
To transfer all Address Book data from the G4, at the Address Book menu bar go to File and select Back up Address Book.
Launch Address Book on the G5 and at the menu bar, go to File and select Revert to Address Book Backup selecting the backup file created on the G4.
Open iCal on the G4, then choose Back up Database from the File menu. In the resulting dialog, choose where you want to save the backup file (the current date also gets added to the name) and click Save.
To restore: Open iCal on the G5. From the File menu, choose Revert to Database Backup. In the resulting dialog, locate your backup file (it ends with a .icbu extension), select it, and click Open.

ICal publishes event before done editing

I have several calendars that publish to icalx.com. When I add a new event and start typing, ical publishes before I am done editing the event. Then I have to double-click or command-E to edit the event and finish it.
I have those calendars set to publish automatically, though if I can't solve this, I would change it back to manual to avoid the hassles...

Perhaps you've just updated your OS and now have the newer version of iCal which is ***** compared to the faster, more elegant older version. The older iCal presented every event's details in a ready to edit format just by clicking on the item in the calendar.
Now you have to double click that item you're interested in (one two) to get a window that shows you the item's details. Then, to edit, you must click the 'edit' button (three) upon which another editable window will allow your event details to be edited. Finally, after finishing your edits, you must click 'done' (four). Yes, that's right, 4 clicks to do what used to require only the initial click to specify which event you wanted to edit.
Four times as many clicks for a utility application that has no further improvements, only this annoying change from what was once a very efficient tool.
I do hope a future "update" will bring back the elegance of the older version with some true improvements.

ICal Randomly moving events - BAD

I have a good friend who just missed a flight by a day because iCal keeps automatically & randomly moving events on her iCal.
iCal is current and up to date. She doesn't use MobileMe to Sync. She does have an iPhone but Syncs manually only once in awhile. She's on Leopard.
She does fly around a lot and is constantly changing time-zones & thus she changes the time on her computer a lot.
"For instance - if I type something for Monday while in Chicago - and then when I go to Delhi - it is listed as Tuesday because of the time diff?
But I cannot imagine why it would not flop back when I returned to Chicago - and most of my travel during the i-cal changes has been domestic - which has no more than a 3 hour time change"

I have exactly the same problem!!
It drives me nuts. I create an event, maybe move it around once or twice, then iCal keeps moving for me.
I try quitting and restarting, refreshing all calendars etc... but no luck. I also think iCal is not very good with it's integration with Exchange servers. I accept invitations to events but the status is not updated, etc.

Server not responding to ical publish request

This is probably a very simple problem but I can't work it out! We haven't had our server for very long and being a small agency we don't have a Sys Admin. We have had no problems with setting up the server, working from the server, sharing etc but can't get the ical service to work so that we can share appointments.
The server is set to share calendars with all users and with groups. On the individual computers when you go to publish the calendars on private server and put in the server name and login details the server refuses the connection request.
Under sys prefs in Sharing the server is visible and if you click 'edit' the info next to our server listing says "this server provides iCal services"
What are we doing wrong?
cheers, mary

Have a look in the server log files, escpecially iCal and OpenDirectory...

Sharing iCal

I seem to be unable to share a calendar with users of either iCal iCloud or Outlook. We just get an invalid response. Has anyone had a positive experience with sharing a calendar with other users?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Certainly, but only as a read-only object when you choose to publish one or more calendars via .Mac or a private WebDAV server, and when each user subscribes to one or more of the same calendars. Others cannot modify your calendars, nor you their calendars.
Shareable calendars will ship with the release of Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X Server 10.5 in a few weeks. You can get an idea of what the new iCal and iCal Server feature sets are here:

Ical published but cannot edit

Hi. I have just upgraded to Tiger and want to publish all my calendars together so my husband can access them at work, adding information/appointments as he needs, to one document.Ihave two Probs. (1)- When I publish the calendars together in a group each one is legible in the calendar but they do not appear in their designated colors; all info on cal. comes in blue blocks.How can I get it to publish with corresponding colors? (2) Most importantly : I want my husband to be able to edit the calendar at his work place- I want to see his new updates and he mine- yet we are unable to edit the cal., either at our 'View' url or our'Subscribe' url. I am missing something here big time. I would love some help, as I am fit to be tied. Thanks alot, D

ICal publishing to webDAV server sporadic

I had had trouble in April with publishing iCal calendars to my server at home. [1] Unfortunately, the problem has started up again, and I cannot figure out why. Does anyone have any idea why a site where calendars have been published in the past would suddenly give errors?
In the meantime, I'll go back and fix everything up again. Still, I'm baffled.
Bill

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Here is the solution, in case others run into this problem:
I have my calendar location symlinked to another spot.
I had moved the locations, and had recreated the symlink as an admin.
I should have recreated the symlink using sudo.
So... if you have ical -> /foo/ical in /Library/WebServer/Documents, then be sure that the owner of the symlink is root:admin. The owner of /foo/ical should still be www:www.
Sorry for the static. Perhaps this might help someone in the future.

ICal published calendar : wrong times !

Hello all
I succesfully published my "work" iCal schedule on the internet via .Mac, but although the times of events are correct on my "home" iCal (ie the one on my computer), those on the web are wrong ! (9 hour difference)
I have checked everything, and can't find the problem...
anyone ?
thank you

This is a stab in the dark - but have you checked the timezone where your web-based server is physically located? Could iCal be adjusting your calendar to the actual timezone recorded on the server you're using? f there's a 9-hour difference then that's a start point.

Sharing iCal online

Prior to the latest system upgrade and switch from me.com to mac.com we were able to subscribe to iCal across our network. Now, we are not able to subscribe unless we all upgrade to the latest system. This is not going to happen. Does anyone have a solution such as sharing the online Calendar for older Macs and non-Mac users to acess iCal information?
Thanks

Which version do you use in windows? See the following note:
+Microsoft Outlook+
+Microsoft Outlook also supports iCalendar, though there are some known problems with its support (many of which can be fixed by installing patches) [1]; in particular, Outlook 2000 users cannot process iCalendar files created by Outlook 2002 without patching because Outlook 2000 has an error in its iCalendar implementation [2]. Users of Outlook must configure their mail program to use open Internet standards instead of Microsoft's proprietary specifications. [3] [4] [5] Users of Microsoft Outlook 2003 can install RemoteCalendars in order to subscribe, delete and reload a generic iCalendar through the web.+
+On import of some iCalendar files, Outlook 2003 will complain "You have attempted to save a recurring Lunar appointment in iCalendar format. To avoid this error, set the appointment option to Gregorian instead of Lunar.". Outlook requires the iCalendar file have lines UID, DTSTAMP, and METHOD:PUBLISH in order to avoid this nonsense error. This error will also be presented if there are other errors in the iCalendar file, such as a DESCRIPTION-tag that spans multiple lines without proper folding.+
+Outlook 2007 is compatible with the calendaring component of the iCalendar protocol only. Users can add calendars under Account Options and set how often they should be updated. Individual calendars are shown as a list of checkboxes so that they can be viewed or hidden without unsubscribing, and they can be viewed as separate tabs or overlaid into a single calendar. Because Outlook only synchronises calendars, the other components of this protocol such as VTODO, VJOURNAL, etc. are not supported by Outlook 2007, even though equivalent functionality is offered in all cases.+
+Windows Calendar, found in the newly released Windows Vista, also supports iCalendar. The Microsoft Works Calendar also supports iCalendar.+
also have you copied the url in the right format in the url box in ical?

Sharing iCal between two users

Problem: Need to know how to share calendar (and address book) between two users. We both have iphones that we'd like to sync to so we'll have 'home' calendar. It seems like it should be an easy process but so far, no luck.

Right, seems the answer is 'Not really'. You can publish an ical calendar - but that is read only.
Which is really quite terrible. Not what we expect from an apple solution.
2 adults with 2 iphones can share one life and one mac - why can't we build a shared calendar?
BUT.........
There is an alternative that isn't TOOOO hard to set up.
Google calendars will sync with ical, so if you both have gmail addresses you can create a calendar you can share in iCal.
It's a bit faffy but not too taxing
1 open your gmail and set up a calendar
2. look under My calendars/settings
/share this calendar
and add the gmail address of your sharee
select "make changes"
this means they can add to it when they accept the invitation.
3. go to the first tab and select
/calendar details
look for
/Calendar Address: ICAL
copy this address and mail it to the new user.
when they log in they can then use that ical url to add to their calendar list.
Phew...
This may not be the exact way to do it, and some steps may be superflous - but i now have a shared calendar between 2 people's ical diaries on one mac and visible on two separate iphones as a google calendar (the iphone ical however will only update when you sync)
Boo:
1. having to use googlecal to set up or edit events - iCal will treat the shared calendar as 'read only'
2. iphone ical not updating automatically - you need to use the calendar in google to see if any new dates have been added since your last sync
Yay:
1. as its google - it will ACTIVELY share any new events on your iphone - at least in the google calendar (see 2)
So - all in all, a flawed 'pc-style' workaround sticking out conspicuously in an otherwise 'apple standard' experience.
At the moment it seems google calendars are a better bet than ical - this will not do.
Apple! Deal with it please - shared calendars between users first - then you can worry about 'push' updating later.
