Smart calendars in iCal?

Morning.
Is there any ability in iCal to create and use smart calendars, e.g. a smart calendar containing all events in the same location? This would be very helpful to manage multiple calendars for the users of one conference room. Or an smart calendar containing a project keyword to catch at a glance all events regarding this project. Or an smart calendar containing a determined person, to print an overview with all events and to-dos related to this person.
Any approach for these purposes?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

There are no smart calendars in iCal. You could do what you are talking about by creating a calendar group and dragging all of the calendars you want to track into a single group and then publishing it for others to see.

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!

IPod not showing all Calendars from iCal

I just got a new iPod classic and when I hook it up to my MacBook and sync my calendars from iCal not all of them show up. I have tried syncing all and some selected, but if it didnt show in all, it wont show even checked off. Is this a bug in the system?
Thanks

Hello Kristen,
Have you double checked the media type of these TV Shows in iTunes? To do so, locate the TV Show, right->click on it and choose "Get Info" from the Shortcut Menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab. There should be an option for *Media Type* with a drop down list next to it. Make sure that is set to "TV Show" and nothing else. Then hit OK when you are finished and sync the updated changes to your iPod.
Another thing to check is the settings you have configured from under the *TV Show* tab for your iPod in iTunes, when you have it plugged in. It may be set to sync all "unplayed" episodes. You will want to change this to something that is more fitting.
I would start with these two possibilities, and then we will go from there if need be.
Hope this helps.

How do I sync 'on my mac' calendar in ical with icloud or an alternative for my iphone?

I'm using Outlook 2011 with 2 IMAP email addresses, a business email and a gmail address. The only reason I'm using Outlook instead of Mail, Address Book and iCal is because there were issues with me receiving meeting invites from business colleagues. Anyway, now I'm using Outlook, my contacts & calendar are no longer synchronising with my iPhone (4). I'm using the Outlook synch services to copy the Contact info to Address Book and the calendar info to iCal. BUT, the calendar in iCal is 'On My Mac' and doesnt get picked up by iCloud.
Can anyone help with simple suggestions for a wireless solution for keeping Outlook calendar in synch with my phone? Would upgrading my email account to Exchange be a solution?

Thanks Winston. I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud. I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

How can I move an event in ical to another calendar without ical resending the event invite to everyone

I have 2 microsoft exchange calendars that I use for work. One is provided by my company, the other is provided by a customer that I do contract work for. The customer prefers to send invites to my email address provided to me by them. Which means that the invite appears on the exchange calendar provided to me by the customer.
That's fine, but I would like for the event to appear on my work calendar so that I can get reminders on my iphone (long story short, the customer does not allow me to connect to their exchange server via my iphone due to security reasons).
So, I go into iCal, open the event and change the calendar for the event. Unfortunately, that causes iCal to resend the invite to everyone involved in the event. This causes alot of confusion, obviously, as now everyone is wanting to know why I sent an invite for an event that is already scheduled.
How can I move events to another calendar without iCal sending another invite to everyone?

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

Can I print small calendars in iCal or from some other program?

I have a calendar in iCal that is used to keep track of my girlfriend's class and work schedule (which is wildly different from day to day). I would love to have this calendar on my iPhone but it must be in a different color like it is in iCal so that I can differentiate her schedule from my own easily. I thought a nice solution might be to simply print a small business card sized week view of her schedule and keep it in my wallet, however I can't seem to get ical to print a week view on anything smaller than an 8x10 sheet of paper.
It would be a great help to me if you could show me how to either sync to my iphone in a different color or print a small portable "cheat sheet" that I can carry with me...
By the way Apple, if you're reading this, how come we can't keep calendars that are separate in iCal separate in iPhone? Unless I am just being a dunce on this one, you should consider making this possible on the iPhone.

Ok it is a long one but it is possible to resize it without any external programs.
Only one calendar is synced to iPhone (ie one colour)
To print your calendar small:
Choose File/Print
Select everything you want on the calendar, don't worry about sizes yet and click Continue
In the print window, choose Paper Handling and select Scale to fit paper size
Choose the size you would like (business card?)
You can either print or Save to PDF
