[SOLVED] Adding a remote iCal/ics to KOrganizer

Hi,
I just want do add an iCal/ics ressource to KOrganizer that is stored on a remote server like http://mylittelserver.org/calendar.ics but this drives me crazy. I cannot find any ressource in KOrganizer with the option to do the job. I know I can "import" such a file manually, but this is not what I want. I want KOrganizer to fetch the file readonly and update it from time to time.
I´m searching this option like stupid because many websites let you download remote calendars and I wand to have them all together on my local computer but I don´t want to "import" everything manually every day.
In the documentation of KOrganizer I can find a chapter about the option I´m searching for (Calendar in Remote File) but I can´t find this ressource in my Korganizer installation in KOrganizer 4.10.4.
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdepim/ko … -resources
What am I doing wrong?

ICal .ics e-mail attachments - NOT recognized by iPhone !!

Really?! Apple couldn't add iCal file type recognition to the iphone's e-mail application? Sad.. people send iCal .ics calendar scheduling files as attachments in e-mails all the time and the iphone can't figure out what kind of attachment it is ! Am I missing something here? Why is such a simple smartphone feature missing from the iphone?

I'm trying to open the attachment and have the scheduled information get added to my calendar.. I.E. like every other smartphone out there is capable of. I can see the attached file on the iphone e-mail, but it won't let me download or open it.

"iCal can't read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar."

How do I deal with this error message-"iCal can’t read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar." ? .ics vs .vcs?
Thanks

Greetings,
What version of the Mac OS and what version of iCal are you running?
Are you using MobileMe calendars (or any other server based calendars like Google) in your iCal?
While you answer those questions you can try the following troubleshooting:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Adding new Remote System unavailable in Web Service Request

Hi,
I created a CRUD Web service from a table using web service generator.I added a new remote system to the repository.When I invoke the create operation (which has key mapping "Yes"),it says "Remote System not found in the repository"
I am able to view the Remote System via Data Manage though.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Premjit

Hi Premjit,
When did you added new remote system?
Before generating web services.
Or After generating web services.
If you have added remote system after generating web services.
Then try re-generating web services using web service generator.

I haven't added events but am getting "This calendar is unreadable. No events have been added to your iCal calendar"

I recently started getting the message "This calendar is unreadable. No events have been added to your iCal calendar". However, I typically add my events by typing them myself either on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone. I don't import from outside sources. I don't know if it's related or just coincidental that around the same time, events that I add to my MacBook Pro are not syncing to my iPhone, but the events added by iPhone seem to appear on my MacBook Pro and my MiniMac. Is there a way to find the event that is being referenced in this error message??

iPhone:
Plug in your iPhone
Go to iTunes > Your iPhone > Info and ensure that calendars is not checked off to sync -- if you are using MobileMe to sync, this option should not be checked
On both Macs:
1.) Go to Apple > System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync and remove the check Mark for calendars. With the new MobileMe calendar system there is no need to have this checked. Close the MobileMe window once this is complete.
2.) Open iCal and then go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and remove the MobileMe account from here with the minus sign.
3.) Go to iCal > Quit iCal
4.) Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
5.) Open iCal and go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts
-- If the MobileMe Account is already here remove it again and then re-add it being very careful to use the correct name and password (for your 10.5 system follow these steps for re-adding: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330)
-- If the MobileMe account is not already here, add it in.
iCal will download your calendars from the MobileMe server. Watch and see if you get the error message. If it completes the download (little spinning gear stops spinning next to the MobileMe calendar) go ahead and add a new uniquely named event to one of your MobileMe calendars on both computers and see if it syncs between.
Let us know what happens.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this glitch in iCal synchronizing?

I have switched to iCoud from Mobile Me before the June, 2012 cut off date. Now I have a problem with synchronizing all my calendars in my iPhone with MacBook pro. When I go to iTunes info, and select calendars, there is no recognition of all my calendars to indicate which ones I want to synchronize . The choice of all calendars does not work. There is only one calendar showing on my Mac,and reflecting data for only a few months. On the other hand, in iCloud all my calendar show, as I had it originally with Mobile Me. On my Mac iCal only has one calendar. I travel between time zones very often, and I am between the USA and Canada for months at a time. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I need to do to synchronize calendars and make sure travel is not an issue, and without a glitch?

Thanks Roger Wilmut1 for your reply. I have Mac OSX 10.7 Lion and iOS5 . And since my question I have solved my own problem by going to System Preferences and Mail, Contacts, Calendars. I added my email addresses, including iCloud, merged the data for contacts etc. And found the missing link I needed to connect iCloud to my iPhone, and Mac calendars and more. Its now perfect.

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.

Adding invitees to iCal event takes forever...

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, adding an invitee to a calendar event takes 30-40 seconds. I start typing a name, get the spinning beachball, and thirty seconds later get a list of matching contacts from Address Book.
Thirty or forty seconds is the actual time, not a guesstimate. And while this doesn't seem very long, I can't do anything else while I'm waiting. (If I switch applications, it stops looking where it left off.)
All of my software is up to date. I recently wiped the hard drive and did a clean install (I've tried everything I can think of to decrease this time) and I have about 5,000 contacts in Address Book.
The next option is to delete all of my contacts, but that seems unworkable (for obvious reasons.)
Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
/Jim

I'm having the same problem. From the number of unresolved problems with iCal under Snow Leopard I suspect that the application is in need of some serious refactoring. Clearly, the problem with inserting invitees is a problem with an index on the contacts application or the type of query that is being issued. I suspect the later since the mail application does not have the same problem.
Has anyone at Apple with access to source code looked into this? Is there a more formal way of submitting a problem report?

Creating websites that display iCal (ics) files?

Hello,
Does anyone have any information about creating webpages that can imbed ics files?
When you publish a calendar from iCal to .Mac, it automatically makes a dynamic website that has an up-to-date version of the calendar that I've created in iCal.
I would like to be able mimic this, but host it on my own site as well as control the asthetic.
Thanks,
Dominic

Hi Dominic, welcome to Discussions
You could try PHP iCalendar if you have PHP running on your server.

Problem adding WebLogic remote server

I'm running Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse version oepe-indigo-11.1.1.7.3.201107052114. Using Eclipse Indigo with JrockIt jrockit-jdk1.6.0_26-R28.1.4-4.0.1 as Java Virtual Machine on Windows 7 32 bits.
The problem is I can not find a way to register a remote Weblogic server. If I try to add a server, let's say Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.5), there are two fields Server's host name and Server name. In the next page, it only can be specified a local directory, and there is no way to add a remote one.
In the following page: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15315_07/help/oracle.eclipse.tools.weblogic.doc/html/conFeatureOverview.html#remoteDepm comes a guide, but definitely the screenshots there are not the same that the ones appearing in Eclipse when running the Wizard for adding a new server.
It happended the same, uninstalling the plugins zip file or adding software from Eclipse, on fresh installations with no other plugins added.
Is there a way to add a remote Weblogic server in Eclipse Indigo with the Oracle Enterprise Pack installed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You first need to create a RT selecting local instance before configuring remote server. Please retry the following steps:
Make sure you have a local instance of the WebLogic server (10.3.5)
In Server view, select New > Server | Oracle | Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.5) - click Next
For WebLogic Home, pick your local instance (ex: C:\wls-home\10.3.5\wlserver_10.3) - click Next
Now, you should see the option to configure between a Local / Remote WLS instance Let me know if you are having trouble resolving this.

Why the event not added automatic into ical when receive a meeting from outlook?

Hi,
I'm using ical 4.0.4 and when I receive a meeting from outlook, there is no event added into ical. However, in my ios device, it works pretty well.
Could anyone help me? Whether this is the issue of the ical(version 4.0.4)?
Thank you.
p.s.It works well in ical versions which are higher than 4.0.4.

[SOLVED] Adding users with command prompt

I'm doing as the beginers guide says for adding non-sudo users to my installation. I'm using
adduser
to do this. For the bash bit is pressing enter to just have /bin/bash, which I assume is default ok? I also pressed enter to have default for user ID. The longer way around it had this as an example:
useradd -m -G users,audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,power -s /bin/bash archie
I'm looking in particular at the /bin/bash archie bit at the end. Do I leave it or make sure it's got the name of the user at the end e.g. in my case
/bin/bash ben
? It's just when I tried to do that the first time It gave me some message about it not being there.

[SOLVED] Adding layouts and changing them per application

Hi
I have just installed openbox not a long ago, and I was wondering,
how can I add another keyboard layout? (Hebrew for example)
I heard that I can do it through xorg.conf, but then, changing layouts
will be globaly and not per application.
How can I add another layout to my openbox and change layout with
alt+shift per application?
Thanks

Problem solved thanks to DHeart!
I created /etc/hal/fdi/10-keymap.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>

<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
string="Linux">
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,il</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">pc105</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.Options" type="string">grp:ctrl_shift_toggle</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
I installed xxkb, and added "exec xxkb &" to my openbox's autostart script.
And it works almost perfect!

ICal, ics cards, and not recognizing my email address

i have an ics invitation in my MacMail and even though my email address is indeed right there on me ME card in address book, the iCal program keeps telling me it can't process the invitation b/c: I have to choose my email from the (nonexistant) list below and put it into my address book ME card.
The addy's are there.
The program doesn't see them.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I had this same problem and found the answer over on www.osxhints.com.
Anyway, here is part of the post from someone over there.
"I just had this exact same problem, so I edited the raw .ics file before importing it, and I found that if I changed any part of the "RECURRENCE-ID" field (or just removed it altogether), the I was able to import it successfully. I don't know if that will screw up the event id for subsequent updates to the event, but it at least got it into the calendar."
