Subscribing to a Resource in iCal

I have been trying to figure out how to subscribe to the resources I have created on my OS-X server.
According to the documentation, this should be possible.
"A read-only delegate is another user who can see your calendar items, including free-busy times, but not change them. Sometimes this is called a “proxy user.”
This setting is useful for locations and resources. If you make a user or group a read- only delegate for the resource, the delegate can see the details of the resource’s use, rather than just whether the resource is busy."
You are supposed to be able to do this in iCal Server Utility, but I can't see anywhere to assign delegates.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
tnx

according to Apple documents:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3897
To delegate read and write access of a resource to a group use the following command, where groupname is the name of the group and resourcename is the name of the resource:
sudo calendarservermanageprincipals --add-write-proxy groups:groupname resources:resourcename
To delegate read access of a resource to a group use the following command, where groupname is the name of the group and resourcename is the name of the resource:
sudo calendarservermanageprincipals --add-read-proxy groups:groupname resources:resourcename
To delegate read and write access of a resource to a group use the following command, where groupname is the name of the group and locationname is the name of the location:
sudo calendarservermanageprincipals --add-write-proxy groups:groupname locations:locationname
To delegate read access of a location to a group use the following command, where groupname is the name of the group and locationname is the name of the location:
sudo calendarservermanageprincipals --add-read-proxy groups:groupname locations:locationname
Once you have delegated access to resource or location, a client can view it in iCal via iCal > Preferences > Accounts > Delegation and selecting "Show" beside each resource and location.

  • Subscribing to web calendar in iCal

    I'm trying to subscribe to the web/wiki calendar in iCal. I understand this will be only (that's fine). I've found the page in the manual showing how to subscribe using port 8008 (I'm actually using 8443 because of SSL). However I constantly get an access denied for this login and password message, even though I'm using the correct information. I've been able to subscribe to the Blog and Wiki feeds, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Any ideas?

    Did you forward port "8008" (or better 8443) on your firewall? If you did not do that then you do not get through the firewall and you will not be able to reach your remote calender. It did happen to me!
    Be sure to use the following format in the calendar URL:
    http://servernameor_ipnumber:8008/calendars/groups/groupname/calendar/

  • Syncing subscribed private Google Cal to iCal in iOS7- won't show up

    I have iOS7 on my iPhone 5. I tried syncing my Google calendars to iCal via accounts in settings and my personal email address calendars all showed up ([email protected]). My school email address (accessed through Gmail, ______@____.edu) is subscribed to a private calendar (that shows up under "Other Calendars" in this Gmail's Calendar tab) that shows our classes etc via Google Calendar. This calendar displays on an app I used to use (Pocket Informant Pro.) I can't seem to figure out how to get this on iCal on iOS7. Any help? Anyone else have this problem?

  • Exchange permissions for calendars and other resources for iCal viewing...

    I am trying to track down how one is to set their calendar resource permissions in Exchange to successfully allow another Exchange based iCal user to "VIEW" their calendar (as a delegate). I am also trying to determine if this permission should be the same or different for other resources (rooms, etc.)
    Right now
    - I am able to view person's calendars that have explicitly set permission to a group/person for "Reviewer"
    - I am unable to view a person's calendar who has set the "Default" user's permission to "Reviewer" (One would think that "Default" would be a greater catchall.
    -I am unable to view resource (room, etc) calendars with the default permissions. Am currently investigating with our Exchange Administrators what the permissions are at default.

    Yes, it is possible. Prior to v3.0, one needed to choose over-the-air vs. iTunes syncing of contacts/calendars. Then, it was still possible to have both personal and Exchange data, but the personal data had to come from MobileMe. Currently, it's possible to have an Exchange account on the iPhone and also to sync personal contacts/calendars via iTunes; multiple email accounts including an Exchange account have been possible since v2.0.
    FYI, I currently have an Exchange account, and I sync my personal contacts/calendars via iTunes from my Mac.

  • Trying to subscribe to us holiday in ical.

    When i try to subscribe to ical holiday calendar i get a message saying it is already there, but I can't see any holidays in my calendar. Is there a fix?

    L.S.,
    Have you ever successfully subscribed to the calendar? If so, you may want to unsubscribe.
    Is this the one you are trying to subscribe to.... webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ics ?
    How many calendars do you have?
    Have you attempted to subscribe to any other calendars?
    The first item that you should try to "dump" is the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You can locate that file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library Preferences Folder. Drag it to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check if you are able to subscribe to the U.S Holiday calendar.

  • Is it possible to sync iCal with iCloud on Lion machines but still subscribe on pre-Lion machines?

    I absolutely love iCal, and have a very complicated system set up such that various individuals/computers can access my calendars.  I was thrilled about iCloud, as that mean that I would not have to worry about remembering events until I found myself in front of the "main" machine, but could update iCal from all Lion/iOS5 devices, which are my general working machines.
    But, it appears that iCloud has removed my former webcal publishing, and now my pre-Lion machines cannot keep up to date with the calendars.  So, I've done a bunch of investigating, and think I have found a work-around, but I still have a concern about it, and am also wondering if there is a better solution.
    So, what I want to do is this:
    I have two Macs running Lion (laptop, desktop) and an iPhone running iOS5 that I would like to be able to update calendars from and have it show up on all.  iCloud neatly accomplishes this (whereas before, I had to wait to find myself in front of the desktop, or remember to sync the iPhone).
    I also have a plethora of older Macs, owned by myself, people in my group, and my family, that currently subscribe to various webcal addresses to keep up with "Work" and "Home" calendars, on a read-only basis.  The Macs are running anywhere from OS 10.2 to 10.6.  Upgrading to Lion is *not* an option -- first of all, they're not all my machines, and second of all, some are truly old (10.2 is running on a G3 -- yes, a G3, still in working order and completely fit for its purpose, with no plans to update until the machine physically stops working, but 10.2 is the most recent OS it can run).
    The work-around I found is this:
    I set the iCloud calendars to share with "everyone" which provides me with a webcal address that I can send to people and tell them to subscribe to it in their iCals.
    My concern is:
    I am concerned about the "everyone" sharing:  I previously used a prviate, password-protected third party webcal pubishing service.  The URLs the everyone-sharing produces look complicated enough that it is unlikely that anyone would "guess" it, but is possible to browse public iCalendars somewhere?  The information in the calendars isn't hugely sensitive, but some of it is private enough it would cause a stink if some people blundered across the "Work" calendar, and perhaps some embarrassment if others found the "Home" calendar (especially as work people will know I am using this method).  Does anyone know how easy it is to access these calendars if you have not been provided the URL by the publisher?
    And finally, is there  a better solution?  Ideally, I'd have password-protected webcal sharing.  It looked to me that the "only with people you invite" choice requires people to both have an iCloud account, and then use an iCloud enabled OS in order to get it into their iCal, which won't work with the pre-lion machines.  But perhaps I am wrong about this?

    Sharing (not publishing) can be done privately - which requires the recipients to have an iCloud account - or publicly. As you say, this means than anyone who knows the URL can subscribe: but there's no published list of calendars, people who don't know the URL would have to guess it so the chances of them finding it are fairly low.

  • How can I disable emails, alerts, and notifications sent from iCals which I subscribe to?

    My wife subscribes to one of my iCal and uses it to know when I have class or am indisposed. I use my school calendar very heavily especially the To dos. The problem occurs when she recieves hundreds of emails generated from my constant updating of my calendar and To dos. We want her to recieve updates but not of the To Dos. How can she opt out of the To do list, the emails, and the constant updating; once daily would be enough.
    -Josh

    What phone?
    You would need to disable data on the phone itself.  You wouldn't do it online on your account.
    Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

  • Publishing and subscribing to iCal's on same computer

    Hi,
    Is it possible for two different users (profiles in fast user switching) to publish/subscribe to each other's ical's? If so, what do I put in the "SERVER" line on the subscribe to window?
    Thanks!

    No, it's not the only way, but it is the easiest.
    You could start webdav on your machine's Apache server and both subscribe to it locally (instructions - http://www.shawnwall.com/teach/webdav-ical.php ), or some people have got making symbolic links work. Both involve playing around in the Terminal.

  • How do you subscribe to national holidays when using Ical?

    I'm new to Apple products so forgive me for sounding dumb. I need to know how to "subscribe" to a national holidays Ical.

    There are a number of ways to do this. The easiest way is to use a program like RSS Bandit, FeedDemon, or Sharpreader. I've used RSS Bandit for a while and it works fine. Find it at www.rssbandit.org. Its free and easy to set up.
    1) Download and install RSS Bandit
    2) Start RSS Bandit
    3) Click File, then click New Subscription. The Add Subscription Wizard will pop up. Click the Next button.
    4) Make sure the "I will enter the URL of the web feed or page" option is selected and click Next.
    5) In your browser, click the RSS feed to take you to the RSS page (technically a file). Copy the address that is in the browser bar
    6) Go back to the RSS Bandit's Add Subscription Wizard and paste the URL into the URL field.
    7) Click Next and RSS Bandit will get the latest updates from the RSS feed.
    As you can see the process is exactly the same as for a podcast, only you won't be downloading audio and/or video files.

  • Sharing iCal across the users on one computer

    I would like to share iCal that I have set up under my user id on our mac with all of the other user ids on the same Mac is that possible? If so than how? You can share iTunes libraries and iPhoto libraries with other users on the same computer....

    I would also like to know how.
    All I have discovered so far is how you can publish a calendar so others can view, but not edit it using a browser. And how other users of iCal can "subscribe" to the calendar from iCal under their account login. But again, they cannot edit or add to the calendar, which is pretty useless. I think you also need MobileMe to do this.
    You simply select Calendar -> Publish from the iCal menu. You get an option to email the link to your calendar to anyone you like. The recipient of the link can also get a special link which launches their iCal and subscribes to your calendar from within their iCal.
    I would also like to know how to share iTunes libraries as well. I did not know it was possible to do this across users on the same Mac. I thought you could only do this with other computers on the same network?

  • How to subcribe to a published Outlook calendar in iCal

    I use MS Outlook for work and iCal for my personal calendar.... I use my iPhone for business and personal use. I can't use MS Exchange on my iPhone to sync my Outlook calendar without it overwriting my iCal appointments.
    I have published my MS Outlook calendar [privately] and want to subscribe to it in my iCal, but have been unsuccessful.
    Do I need to work-around it somehow by subscribing to it from Entourage, Google, Yahoo! etc first then subscribe to that calendar? I'm game with any work-around; whatever will work, I have tons of appointments I need to track that are business and personal. Using MS Outlook directly for any personal use is out of the question.
    Bottom line - I want my MS Outlook calendar (work calendar) merged with my iCal (personal calendar) so I can have both on my iPhone.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Erica

    Have you ever gotten an answer to this question? I'm researching new phones. I'm trying to merge and globalize the whole shabang. And I'm like you -- Outlook at work, iCal at home.

  • Repeating Events on iCal Server?

    I have set up several calendars on my server and can subscribe and update them via iCal on my computer. This is all wonderful. However, I have only recently realized that I am unable to make any events repeat. On the wiki calendar itself, there does not appear to be any way to make an event repeat. More frustrating, on iCal, even though I make the event repeat, and it shows up as repeating on iCal, only the first instance of the event shows up on the web calendar. Does anyone know a way to make this work? It is ridiculous that this is not possible.

    I can confirm that it's still broken on my 10.5.2 installs. Also, all day events show up across two days and only appear if I create them on the groupcal, not in iCal.app or Sunbird. Actually to clarify, if I create all day events in iCal.app and Sunbird I can see them fine in iCal or Sunbird, just not in the groupcal.

  • HOW CAN I Publish ALL the Original Different Colors in iCal

    I am trying to publish a grouped calendar which includes several differently colored events. I am testing it by subscribing to it from an iCal that has no calendars created at all....and it still will not publish the different colors of the original calendar. All the events appear as one color.
    How can I publish/share my calendar and have ALL the different colors show?
    -I am publishing using a .Mac account.
    THANKS VERY MUCH for any help anyone can give! It will be hugely appreciated.

    I am having this same trouble - I publish
    webcal://ical.mac.com/neyt/neyt.ics
    as a grouped calendar. I tried resetting my sync data fromthe computer that this calendar lives on ( OSX 10.4 because I realized earlier versions have Ical that doesn't even group..)
    Now when I have a subscriber pull down the .ics file, it doesn't show up as grouped, nor do the groups live onthe website version.
    why don't these groups just show up? if I send people the .ics file - it all works just fine...
    I know that some colors might be in use on other computers, I'm sure that other colors will be assigned s individuals need them in their calendars, but the groupings should sync...
    help!!

  • ICal ignores time zone in published calendar

    I'm trying to make a an online calendar that is automatically generated using events from a database.
    All events are in the Dutch time zone, so I added a time zone component to the .ics file. When I try to subscribe to the calendar in iCal everything works fine, except for the fact that the time zone information seems to be ignored and all events are displayed 2 hours too late because they are set to UTC/GMT.
    This is an example of the generated .ics file:
