Subscribed Calendars & SSL?

Two 10.6 Servers, iCal/Wiki (collab server) and Mobile Access (MAS server).
Since Mobile Access can't use Kerberos, we've set everybody up with SSL. The calendars through the MAS server are working great, but when you subscribe using the webcal: formatted URL, it doesn't work through SSL.
If I try the other format (https://servername:8443/principals/wikis/groupname/) I get "The data downloaded from...isn't valid."
Is there another way to do this?

I was referring to public calendars, as in US Holidys.
Looking at iCal again, it seems that the new URL is ical.me.com instead of ical.mac.com
Perhaps it's still down and they didn't get to it yet. I can publish my private calendars but the URL for others to subsribe to isn't working yet on ical.me.com
This whole transition's been frustrating for me. Whatever it's already working, is barely usable.
This being a paid service, it's been a pretty poorly transition. Hope they get it right soon.

How do I get subscribed calendar events to show on my iPhone 4?

I have a subscribed calendar in iCal on my desktop that shows up in the list of iCloud calendars on my iPhone, but none of the events actually show up on my iPhone even though that calendar is selected to show its events. How can I fix this? It's really strange that my phone "sees" the calendar, but won't show the events that are in it! Very frustrating!
I've already tried unsyncing and resyncing all of the calendars on my iPhone (i.e. I turned off iCloud calendar syncing, deleted all calendar info on my iPhone, then turned iCloud calendar syncing back on). No luck.

I had a similar issue. Basically, I gave up trying to "sync" that particular calendar with my iPhone and instead subscribed to the subscribed calendar directly on the iPhone.
To do this, you have to essentially set up a new "account" in the Mail/Contacts/Calendars settings. Go to Add Account > Other, and selecte Add Subscribed Calendar at the bottom. Paste in the URL of the calendar you wish to subscribe to, and it should be added to your calendar. Best part is that it will automatically update as the calendar publisher updates it. Be sure to disable that calendar in iCloud, too btw.

How can I change the color of subscribed calendar?

Hello!
I have subscribed two calendars from the internet at my ipad. They automatically got the colors green and red. Now I wanted to change these colors. So I did it and changed them in the calendar-app of the iPad to blue and yellow. At first it worked. But after a few minutes, the colors automatically changed back to green and red. And that happens all the time. Whenever I change the colors of my subscribed calendars, they automatically change back a few moments later.
Why does it happen? And how can I make my iPad keep the new color settings?
I am using iOS 5.0.1

I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.

Please help! Code 4: Unexpected Error on Subscribed Calendars

Hi there,
I am trying to subscribe to an iCal feed that I created in Yahoo Pipes. When I do so in iCal, I get this error: Code 4: Unexpected Error on Subscribed Calendars
http://tinyurl.com/3zpgrg (screenshot)
This is the ical feel that I am trying to subscribe to:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?id=BIpsYf9q3RGvUZDNBR50VA&render=ical
I've tested that the feed is functional because I have no problem subscribing to it in Google Calendar.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what I may be doing wrong? I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work for some time now -- and the alternative (using Google Calendar) is not pleasant!
This is with all updates installed including OS X 10.5.5
Thanks so much,
Tyler

Does anyone have any ideas? This is driving me nuts!
Thanks=)

Can I choose which subscribed calendars are synced via MobileMe?

So the recent update synced all of my subscribed calendars to my phone. I don't necessarily want to do this because I subscribed to every employee's calendar in my office as well as my wife's calendar. Ideally, I'd like to ONLY subscribe to my wife's calendar.
Is there a way around this? Do I have to turn of Calendary syncing all together? If I do that, will my personal calendars no longer sync unless I plug the phone in? Doesn't that suck? Is there a new update coming? Have I asked too many questions?
Thanks!

I took advantage of the MobileMe chat support to ask this question a few weeks ago, and they said no go--via MM, it's all subscribed calendars or nothing. It used to be that MM did not support subscribed calendars at all (I think)--an update added this feature but gave us no control over it.
The chat agent might have suggested that selective syncing would be part of the next MM update, but I failed to pay much attention to that part, or to follow up, sorry.
I think this is part of why I'm an update or so behind. Also, I installed Mozilla's Sunbird as a calendar application, and subscribed to calendars in that. Which lets me check them when I want to, but keeps them out of the syncing loop. Moving employee calendars there might be an option.
It's possible this program might help, not sure, but it seems to be recommended for a number of calendar issues:

Why is a subscribed calendar not updating in Calendar on iPhone?

There is a subscribed calendar I control which I use regularly in Calendar (iCal). When I make changes to the source of the calendar on the web, the changes to the subscribed calendar are very quickly update in Calendar on my MacBook, which I appreciate. However, this does not successfully occur in Calendar on my iPhone. I have been trying to figure out off-and-on for a couple weeks why it doesn't update in Calendar for iPhone. I have spent no less than ½-hour working on it, via trying to edit the calendar, look at settings, double-check which calendars are showing to make sure it's the correct one, etc., etc., and I cannot figure it out. Why are changes to a subscribed calendar showing up successfully in Calendar on Mac but not in Calendar on iPhone?

Hey xcwomac.
I did some research and found this:

It worked out just fine for me, hope it helps you.

ICal subscribed calendar on the iPhone

Hi,

Using iCal with Google Calendars: can view subscribed calendars, but not add to them

Something recently happened to my google calendars causing them to all disappear from Google. Anyway, that mystery remains.
I am currently trying to re set up iCal to sync with Google Calendars and things aren't working quite right.
In iCal, I've done Calendar>Subscribe and entered the URL for that particular Google calendar. This has been completed for the 5 separate Google calendars I have and they show up in the list of subscribed calendars.
However, if I attempt to create a new event, the only calendar choice I have is for the main GMail calendar, not any of the subscribed "sub calendars".
In Preferences>Account, If I select Google and then go to the "delegation"tab, there is a message that states "You can't see delegation settings when this account is offline."
Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks.

That's the part I always forget how to do. See if this answers your question:
To select which calendars to sync to your Apple device, follow these steps:
Open the Safari browser on your device and go to http://m.google.com/sync
Sign in with your account and select your device from the list of devices you've set up for Google Sync.

How to get SUBSCRIBED calendars synched on iPhone/MobileMe

Create, and place this Apple script in your Appliations folder
Instructions follow the script...
-- iCal Duplicator 2.0
-- MobileMe Push Sync with iCal does not currently support susbcribed calendars. This has disappointed some like
-- myself, who rely extensively on subscribed calendars. This kludgy solution copies events from a subscribed calendar
-- to a local calendar. Set your calendar names in the script, then run the script on a weekly/daily basis or manually to
-- update your local copy/copies based on the subscribed calendar.
-- Support for copying from multiple calendars has been added. You'll need to enter the source and destination names as
-- pairs. If you want multiple subscribed calendars copied into one local calendar, you can enter the local calendar names
-- multiple times as I have for the "Combined - Local" calendar.
-- Christian Lindemer, July 15th, 2008 {macosxhints (a) dethbunny (.) net}
-- * * * Edit values to match actual calendar names * * *
-- The subscribed calendars
property sourceCalendarNames : {"Davidcopy", "Othercopy"}
-- The blank local calendar(s) to copy in to, in the same order as the source calendars
property destinationCalendarNames : {"Davidcopy", "Other"}
-- how many days to go back - the more you add, the slower the script runs.
property oldEntryDays : 1
on run
--make sure we have valid names.
try
tell application "iCal"
repeat with testName in sourceCalendarNames
--this throws an error if there is no calendar with the given name, thus checking the calendar's validity.
set testCal to (the first calendar whose title is the testName)
end repeat
repeat with testName in destinationCalendarNames
set testCal to (the first calendar whose title is the testName)
end repeat
end tell
on error
--if a name can't be found, alert user and halt.
calendarNotFound(testName)
return --this effectively quits the script
end try
repeat with destName in destinationCalendarNames
clearEvents(destName)
end repeat
set calendarCount to 1
--repeat through all calendar names
repeat with sourceName in sourceCalendarNames
--get the calendar names and pass them to the copyEvents function
set destinationName to item calendarCount of destinationCalendarNames
copyEvents(sourceName, destinationName)
set calendarCount to (calendarCount + 1)
end repeat --repeat through all calendar pairs
end run
on calendarNotFound(notFoundName)
display alert "Calendar named " & notFoundName & " was not found in iCal. Please edit the script to match your calendars."
end calendarNotFound
on clearEvents(destCalName)
tell application "iCal"
--Clear the destination calendar
set destCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the destCalName)
set calendarEvents to (events of destCalendar) -- get the destination calendar's event list
repeat with myEvent in calendarEvents -- delete each existing event
delete myEvent
end repeat
end tell
end clearEvents
on copyEvents(sourceCalName, destCalName)
tell application "iCal"
set sourceCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the sourceCalName)
set destCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the destCalName)

-- gather relevant details of event to create new event with
set eventStart to start date of myEvent
set eventEnd to end date of myEvent
set eventAllDay to allday event of myEvent
set eventSummary to summary of myEvent
-- create event in destination calendar with details of subscribed event
tell destCalendar
make new event at end with properties {summary:eventSummary, start date:eventStart, end date:eventEnd, allday event:eventAllDay}
end tell
end if --if not older than 'oldEntryDays' days ago
end repeat --iterate through entries in source calendar
end tell
end copyEvents
Let's say you have a subscribed calendar named "David"
Go into iCal and create a new calendar ("on my Mac") named "Davidcopy" with the same color as your subscribed calendar.
Repeat for any other subscribed cals you want to sync to iPhone.
Open the CopyCal script
Edit the first line of (uncommented) code which starts with property sourceCalendarNames:
Change the names of the cals in this list to match the subscribed cals you wish to copy
Edit the list on the next line to match the NEW cals you created ("Davidcopy" etc)
Next look at iCal and uncheck the subscribed cals.
Run the script and watch the copying take place.
Now to automate this, set up an event everyday (as often as you like). Preferably this can be in another calendar you don't publish - so everyone doesn't have it cluttering their view of your cal.
For example I have events named "sync" at 9:30am and 5pm every weekday. For the alarm, use "Run Script" and choose the CopyCal.scpt.

on copyEvents(sourceCalName, destCalName)
tell application "iCal"
set sourceCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the sourceCalName)
set destCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the destCalName)
set calendarEvents to (events of sourceCalendar) -- get the calendar's event list
repeat with myEvent in calendarEvents -- repeat for each item found in the source event list
--Don't bother with old events
if start date of myEvent > ((current date) - oldEntryDays * days) then --event is in future, or within prefs for old entries
-- gather relevant details of event to create new event with
set eventStart to start date of myEvent
set eventEnd to end date of myEvent
set eventAllDay to allday event of myEvent
set eventSummary to summary of myEvent
set eventRecurrence to recurrence of myEvent
-- create event in destination calendar with details of subscribed event
tell destCalendar
make new event at end with properties {summary:eventSummary, start date:eventStart, end date:eventEnd, allday event:eventAllDay, recurrence:eventRecurrence}
end tell
end if --if not older than 'oldEntryDays' days ago
end repeat --iterate through entries in source calendar
end tell
end copyEvents

How can I delete a subscribed calendar, Hong Kong holidays from calendar on Ipad 4. This was inserted through a hacked gmail account.

I Have an ipad 4 with ios 7. Through clicking on a link sent in a hacked gmail account, a 'subscribed' calendar, named Hong Kong holidays has been inserted into my calendar. How do I delete this calendar and how does it affect my personal details?
I have changed my password.
THank you

Hi Cigire34,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Are you syncing the iPad with a computer and do you see the account on your computer? It sounds like you may have Google Calendar account setup on your iPad, which will have to be deleted from settings or the Google site. The instructions in the following article should help.
iOS: Syncing multiple Google CalDAV calendars
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4372
After adding your Google Calendar account using Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account… > Other > Add CalDAV Account, the primary calendar will sync with your device.
To sync additional Google Calendars, you must configure them using this tool on the Google website. Note that you must log in to your Google account to access this page.
Cheers!

My subscribed calendar does not display in today view in iOS7. Does anyone know how to make it show up?

I have a subscribed calendar on my iPhone. The today view in notification center shows that I have an event at xxxx and tomorrow view says I have x events but the calendar day view does not display any of the events. I need this so I can easily see which rooms my events are in. Dows anyone know how to make the subscribed calendar show up in calendar day view?

Interesting. May have uncovered a bug. It seems that limited duration events will display, but all day events wont on mine. (iPhone 5). Does that compare to what you are seeing (unfortunately, I have nothing in a subscribed calendar until the week end, so difficult to check. I do seem to recall seeing an event from one this past week end on the iPad, however).

Why are subscribed calendars so hard to deal with???

I use-
iCal on my imac.
calendar app on my iphone
MobileMe Calendar (beta).
I don't have any complicated google calendar subscriptions, or Exchange calendars or anything like that.
I have 2 simple iCal calendars that I subscribe to.
And for some reason that has to be a big production??
In iCal they work fine.
In Mobile me they just don't work at all- the beta doesn't support subscribed calendars yet. fine.
And on my iPhone, they're a mess.
They appear in the calendar list (albeit with the wrong colors, and I can't edit the colors)
but the actual events on the calendar don't show up in my calendar.
Then the birthday calendar- what the heck is going on with that?
Again, works fine in ical.
Even works in mobileme.
But on my phone its listed twice, and I have to turn one off?
I don't understand why it can't be consistent... why is this so complicated???
I just want the calendar on my phone to match the calendar on my desktop.
Same colors, and with the events actually showing up and syncing. I don't care if I can't edit the subscribed calendar, I just want to be able to SEE it.

Sorry, but your post is to me contradictory. First you say you want to remove movies, then you say you want to add them. Then you complain that you have to convert movies before you add them to iTunes. So I'm at a loss to understand what it is you are really trying to accomplish. Please post back and explain clearly what it is you are trying to do and where you are running into difficulty.. Leave out the invective and it will be easier for us to understand.
As to iTunes being "fussy", the formats iTunes and the iPad can support are pretty clearly stated in Apple's information. No application, on any platform, supports all content formats, so if you want to use a format iTunes doesn't support, then of course you have to use some other software to convert it first. That's just simple logic.
Regards.

Syncing subscribed calendars in iCal to MobileMe / iPhone

Is there a way to do this? I have a few subscribed calendars that I would like to be able to see on my iPhone but I can't figure it out to save my life.

Yes, I am very curious about this also. I absolutely need my work calender synced so I use MM to do this so my macbook and iphone are always in sync. But, I would love to see my subscriptions on my iphone - I mean, that's where I spend a lot of time looking at my calender.
Does anyone know a work around yet? Or has apple released any more info on this yet?
Thanks, and if there are others who would also like this feature let's chime in here...maybe someone will know a fix or someone will be able to suggest a 3rd party app...

Error while refreshing Subscribed calendar

Hi everyone,
Since few days my subscribed calendar doesn't refresh in iCal, I got an error code 4 but can't seem to figure what it is.
It worked before, I didn't change anything.
If i download the ics file and import it in iCal it works.
Have you ever encounter this issue?
Thanks

quentin.decosne,
I checked the site that you specified. Since this is a "Password Protected" calendar subscription, I have no way of investigating, but I suspect authentication rather than DNS as the culprit. I do not know of an iCal DNS cache that would be implicated.
If the site worked previously, I suspect that the Webmaster does not understand the problem. If others are experiencing the problem, perhaps you can as a group convince them to recognize their problem.
Good Luck.
;~)

Why do my Outlook subscribed calendars not show up on my PC iCloud calendar?

Why don't my Outlook subscribed calendars (holidays, LHMUG meetings) show up on my PC iCloud calendar? They are on Outlook, but don't carry over?

iCloud is a CalDav subscription server, you subscribe to its calendars, it does not subscribe to yours unfortunately.
So move your calendars from Outlooks local folders to the iCloud account.
