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/

Group Web Calendar and iCal

I believe there is another posting regarding this, but here is what I'd like to do.
I have a need to keep a calendar through a group site on the web. My need is that I work as a classroom educator and I'd like to post a calendar for my students and parents. But I also use iCal by default - thus keeping it up-to-date on my laptop, desktop and iPhone.
Is there a web to sync the two calendars (group calendar and iCal) so that when I make a change on one that it would update the other?
If there is, I must surely have a setting on the server site incorrect - so some advice on the setting change would be great.
Thanks

Yes, there are a number of posted answers to this on the forum.

Web calendar for group only? Users cals only in iCal?

I'm new to setting up iCal server and I've looked through my *Mac OS X Server Essentials* book as well as iCalService_Admin_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf and WebTechnologies_Adminv10.5.pdf and how the iCal service, the iCal application and the web calendar all interact remains a little murky for me.
Here's my understanding so far:
iCal the application on the OS X client computer is used to manage a single user's calendar. iCal can also be used to manage another user's calender if so set up.
The web calendar found at http://domain/groups/groupname/calendar/ is used to manage a group's calendar.
iCal the application can subscribe Read-Only to the group's calendar.
This means to me that a user's calendar is not viewable on the web, the web calendar is only for group calendaring, and group calendar management is only done via the web not iCal, is this true?

I have only recently made my web calendars work, but have had several odd problems when trying to use both the web calendar and iCal to edit and view the same group calendar.
*What is the proper way to access a group calendar in the iCal client?*
Is it this?

How to make iCal Server events viewable on the web calendar?

Hi,
I can create, edit and view events on the web calendar.
I can create, edit and view my own events via iCal.
How can I set it up so we can see all the calendars from our group on the web calendar? It's empty now other than what's entered via the web calendar.
Is there really no integration between the two?

I too thought web group calendar was subscribe only in iCal until I ran across the procedure at
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080410162942908
in the 4th comment down by protean. With a couple of additions I was able to post an event to the web group calendar and have an update on the web post back to the iCal calendar. My additions were needed to get the results as posted in the comment:
1) make sure Enable Calendaring is selected for all group members,
2) refresh iCal to ensure all group members are visible in the Personal Server Calendar Address Pane before adding the group calendar account,
3) add all members in step 3 of the procedure including yourself, however, if the owner of the group (e.g. diradmin) is not a member then don't add it,
4) prior to step 6 of the procedure you can verify the group is visible as in step 8 in the Personal Server Calendar delegation before deleting the group account; if not visible then you don't have to start from scratch, just work with the group account from step 1,
5) the group calendar shows up in the left column list of calendars under Delegates calendars.
So I got this to work.
Then I setup a location in Directory.app with Delegates as the group. It shows up in iCal under Delegates calendar with the error notice
'Error While Refreshing Access to account "location title" is not permitted.'
So there is no calendar available for the location in iCal. The personal iCal account shows the Delegation of location and the Show checkbox is selected. The group is allowed to select the location on the web calendar and in the server iCal calendar. But the location doesn't indicate conflicts in the availability pane. Can someone tell me what might be missing?

Problem Trying to Subscribe to a Google Calendar in iCal

We work with a freelance contactor who has shared his Google calendar to one of our staff. When he shares it she gets an email invitation, follows the included link, and can see the shared calendar just fine in Google Calendar.
She wants to have the calendar visible in iCal on her iMac as well. When we go to ‘Subscribe’ in iCal and enter the URL for the shared calendar we get this error:
There was an error subscribing to the calendar - a calendar wasn't found
The Google Calendar invite link includes a button for iCal – which generates the URL we enter when getting that error. There is also a button / option to get it in XML – we have tried that too and got the same error.
Has anyone seen this issue? Any suggested fixes?

Having the same problem here - it's driving me nuts!
I tried installing YAI, but I can't make it point to the correct calendar. I can cut and paste an event into the Google Calendar, but if it's an outlook invite it will delete the event on all the attendee's computers.

When I subscribe to a calendar it doesn't show events in my ical even though it is refreshed

When I subscribe to a calendar it doesn't show events in my ical even though it is refreshed & is linked to iCloud - any ideas please?

Is the calendar checked in the list of calendars in the popup menu in the upper left corner?

ICal web calendars

Hello,
I have the ical server up and running, and I have iCal on my MBP and pad accessing it. I have seen a few references of a web calendar but don't see where to set it up.
How do I enable the web calendar and how do I access it? I tried 192.168.1.100/ical and it didn't load anything. (I tried that while internal).
Thanks!

The web calendar is part of the Web service. You need to add Web to the list of services running on your server, add a site, and configure that site to provide calendaring functionality.

HT5058 How do I subscribe to a calendar with my exchange account in ical

very odd

Can another calendars events be integrated into a published web calendar?

Apologies in advance for my general ignorance about iCal. I am just starting to venture into the program.
I am the web coordinator for a nonprofit group, and am intending to use iCal to publish a web calendar for our site. I have subscribed to the US Holidays calendar, and am wondering if there is any way to get the holidays to show up in my group's published calendar (i.e. I want holidays on the web calendar, but don't want to have to plug them in myself). It is obvious how to integrate the calendars within the application -- just not sure if there's a way to make events from other calendars integrate into the published web calendar.
Sorry about the redundancy -- just want to be clear.
Also, is there anyway to embed these calendars into a web page.
TIA,
mel

mel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Just create a new Calendar Group, name it "Publish" for example, and drag the U.S. Holidays into that group.
The following information is taken from iCal Help.
1. Choose File > New Calendar Group, or hold down the Shift key while clicking the Add + button in the lower-left corner of the iCal window, and then type a name for the group.
2. Add existing calendars to the group by dragging them under the group name, or select the group name and choose File > New Calendar to create a new calendar within the group.
3. Remove calendars from the group by dragging them out of the list.
You should be able to embed a link to the calendar in a web page, but I do not know how to provide a direct display of that calendar.

Shared calendars in iCal via Exchange 2007

I am trying to test a solution for a user that has an iMac she wishes to connect to our Windows network and access her email and calendars from home. She will VPN of course, and upgrade to Snow Leopard for Exchange support. I have everything working up to that point on a test MacBook with 10.6.2 that is on the inside (will test VPN after everything works internally). I created an Exchange account that I can receive mail in Mail.app and normal calendar events in iCal.
The situation she is attempting to do is to see shared Exchange calendars. Not public folder calendars, but individual calendars that have been shared with her. Now in Outlook, all you have to do is click Open a Shared Calendar and input the user name of the calendar owner. In iCal, I think it is the Subscribe function, but it asks for a URL. What am I supposed to enter there? I have Outlook Web Access (OWA) URLs for the calendar I am trying to access, but when I input the URL string, I get an error saying the data was not valid.
Anyone else doing this???
BTW, here is a link to a shot of the error message I am getting:

There is an alternative way you could try which works very well for our client who uses both macs and pc's on a windows network.
On iCal go to ICAL > Preferences. Click on the Accounts tab, select the exchange account and click on the delegations tab. On here click the + symbol and type in the first few letters of the user who's calendar she needs access to - if exchange is configured correctly it should automatically find the username and add that calendar to iCal for her to view.

How to publish a calendar with iCal?

How can I share calendars in iCal with iCloud?

There is a difference between sharing and publishing. The latter means getting your calendar to display as an ordinary web page: firstly this cannot be done with a calendar listed under iCloud (this was also true with MobileMe) but only if it's listed under 'On My Mac'. The facility is still available in iCal for such calendars, but the problem is that it has to be published to a CalDav server because MobileMe, which used to take the published files and turn it into a web page, is not longer available. It's assumed in the Help that you are going to be running such a server yourself, which obviously requires a fair standard of technical knowledge. It's been claimed that Box.net can do this but I've seen complaints that it doesn't work.
Sharing, which you can do with iCloud calendars, makes the calendars available for others to subscribe to in a CalDAV client - iCal itself is such a client, and you can also do this with Google calendar - this does require the recipient to have a Google account. The process with iCloud is described in this page and the pages following:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694
BusyCal has various sharing options and there is a full user guide available here:

Can't subscribe to .ics calendar

Hello,
First of all, sorry for my bad English.
I have published a calendar from Ical to my private server (Imac running 10.6.2). When I want to subscribe to that .ics file from an other computer (other Imac running 10.6.2), it fails. When I subscribe from a computer running OSX 10.4 or 10.5 there's no problem.
This is the error:
*There was an error subscribing to the calendar.*
*The data downloaded from http://server.name.lan/calendars/name.ics isn’t valid.*
I think the problem has to do with the server settings. But I don't know for sure and I don't know how to solve. The server is a Xserve running 10.5 server. For some reason Ical have permission top place the .ics file, but he can't acces is anymore. The permission settings are oke, everybody on the network can read and write the files.
I could send the errors if someone need them to help.
Thanx

The authentication requested is a javascript form of the apple web interface to ical (Web server -> Sites -> Web Services -> Calendar). It is an apple application, i didn't set up any access control, if i go into the file system of http://www.my_site.com/ical (/Library/WebServer/Documents/my_site) there is nothing. It seems all saved under:
bash-3.2# pwd
/Library/CalendarServer/Documents/calendars/_uids_/08/46/084627AA-F6CF-481C-A0EF-421E878ADBCF/calendar
bash-3.2# ls
.db.sqlite a32259e5d9222e11c83f9b8487e0e041.ics
bash-3.2#
and there must be an apple web application in order to interact with it, that is why i thought that the username and password defined in the publish calendar form were related to the apple authentication mechanism.
I'm using MacOSX server 10.6.2 on my own machine with my own domain. So what i'm doing is setting up the calendar web service on a test site, try to publish a calendar (from ical) to the location of the test site and then try to subscribe to the webcal:// ... link that he provides me.
If i try to access http://www.my_site.com/ical/calendar.ics or http://www.my_site.com/ical the apple web interface comes up asking me the credentials. If I enter the correct ones (defined in the publish form) i get the following message from the apple web interface:
Mac OS X Server
404: User does not exist
The path seems correct 'coze if subscribe from ical to webcall://www.my_site.com/ical/calendar.icsit tells me that:
There was an error subscribing to the calendar.
The data downloaded from http://www.my_server.com/ical/name.ics isn’t valid.
if i enter another path i will get this error:
A calendar wasn’t found on webcal://www.myserver/my_user/ical/mycalendar.ics. Check the URL.
If i would use an FTP application i would not find anything on that path because all is managed by the apple web service interface.
Thanks !!

Can a non group or team member subscribe to group calendar

So we have a group web calendar maintained by the managers.
By using permissions in the web service, we can allow "authenticated users" to view the web based calendar.
However if you are not a member of the group that publishes that web based calendar you can not subscribe to it using iCal.app. Only members of the group can successfully subscribe.
We need to have some kind of restrictions to prevent the general public from viewing the calendar but would like for anyone employed by the company to subscribe using iCal so that events are up to date in iCal.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
I have fiddled with webDAV permissions and the SACL in Server Admin but have only been able to successfully restrict access to the web interface of the calendar. Non team members can view but not edit.

It can't be done

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.
