Synced WebDAV/CalDAV calendars

Does anyone know whether or not the 2.01 update fixes the problem where subscribed/synced calendars in iCal using WebDAV/CalDAV are not shown or synced with MobileMe and iPhone? I have Google calendars and work WebDAV calendars that I can't get to sync through MobileMe.

It does not appear to be supported yet on MobileMe/iCal.
There is a product called BusySync that I tried which does sync your Google Calendar(s) with iCal. It is fully editable in iCal and updates are automatically synced with Google. Best part is that it looks like a local calendar in iCal so it is also synced with MobileMe, and subsequently iPhone/iTouch, and MobileMe on Windows. BusySync is not expensive, but I am still looking for a free solution.
I wish Apple would get their act together. If they offer native CalDAV support in iCal 3.x then they should mirror that functionality in MobileMe.

How can i sync a CalDav google calendar with my local calendar in iCal?

Hi,
I have a google calendar as CalDav-account in my iCal. It works perfect. Now i'd like to sync the google calendar with my local calendar, without copy/paste for every date. Ist there any possibility?

I just discovered that when you set up CalDAV delegate accounts in iCal, you are really moving google calendars into iCal, not the other way around. So for everything to sync up you must enter events in the delegate calendars in iCal, not in your original iCal calendars.

CALDAV, Calendar sync

Hello,
I would like to sync my N5800 with an shared/online iCal calendar using CALDAV.
I used to sync my iCal using CalGoo to GCal to sync to my phone. But since we switched for a network iCal at work, that solution is no longer available since there are no more local .ics files. Anyways, if I can leave GCal aside, I wouldn't mind.
I also tried OVI, but that seems to be a pure backup solution.
Is it really possible that Nokia can't sync using CALDAV yet?
Is there no application that can provide a simple sync feature with an online iCal/CALDAV calendar?
I really don't want to get an iPhone. But it seems to be the only solution. Is that really possible?
Thanks for your ideas....

I'm still looking for CALDAV support on Nokia (Symbian OS), but to no avail.
However, there is a blog saying about this possibility: http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/CalDav, I'm checking on it.

Sync of iPhone Calendar over WebDAV?

My question is: do you think that Apple might offer a possibility to sync the iPhone Calendar directly to a .ics-file hosted on a WebDAV server in future versions of the firmware?
We use this method to have a group calendar for users of Windows (via Sunbird) and Mac (via iCal)...
If I could access (read and write) this iCal-File from my iPhone, it would even be more of a "Breakthrough Internet Device"...

Wolf

Hey WolfMuc,
You can leave feedback and request this feature be added to the iPhone here:

CalDAV calendars sync as read-only

Hi!
I have a CalDAV calendar in iCal (Leopard 10.5.4) and can read-write-delete in iCal just fine. It syncs over to my iPod Touch, but as a read-only calendar--as if it were something I subscribed to. Is there a way around this? I imagine the same thing would happen on an iPhone.
Thanks!
Corey

Not to get off topic--but let's keep this to syncing CalDAV calendars to the iPod Touch and not a wish list of other features.
I'm still trying to find out if this is possible--having a CalDAV calendar sync to the iPod Touch as a read-write calendar.
Anyone else with some relevant feedback?
Thanks!

Only 2 out of 7 CalDAV calendars sync to iPhone

Hello all,
I am trying to host CalDAV calendars on my own LAN. I downloaded and installed Apple Server, got a certificate, and enabled push notifications in the Server application Calendar pane. Then I exported all of the calendars on my machine to .ics files, and imported them onto the server. There are 9 different calendars. They all show up in the Calendar apps on the 4 computers at home, and events added on one computer show up on the others as expected. We have 3 iPhones in the family. After adding the CalDAV accounts on the iPhones, only 2 of the 9 CalDAV calendars show up on the iPhones. The same 2 calendars show up on all the phones, and the same 7 calendars are missing on all the phones. When I touch "Calendar" at the bottom of the screen in the Calendar app on the phone, the names of all 9 calendars are visible, with check marks next to them indicating that they should be visible in the calendar, but no events on those 7 missing calendars show up. I've tried altering the push/fetch settings in the iPhone preferences to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Spalding

Close iPhoto and open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot,
Locate and move the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Desktop. (Do no make any other changes to the contents of the package!)
Launch iPhoto and try syncing again.

Is it possible to sync CalDAV calendars with older iPods?

I am reposting from the "Older iPods" list, on which I did not get much feedback.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15171363#15171363
Basically, since I upgraded to the new MobileMe calendars, which use CalDAV instead of being local calendars, I can no longer view them on my iPod Mini. The .ics files that iTunes puts in the iPod's Calendars/ folder are empty.
So, is this a fixable problem on my side, or is this feature just non-existent?...
Thanks in advance for your insights

I have written the following Python 2.6 script that exports all CalDAV calendars to the iPod. I have only tested it with iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7) and an iPod mini (software version 1.4.1), on Mac OS 10.6.7.

Autosync CalDAV calendars on Mac OS X login?

Hi guys,
I have just setup my own CalDAV server (it's the Apple calendarserver on Ubuntu 8.10). Works fine with iCal and Thunderbird/Lightning. I have one question concerning iCal on my Macs:
Is it somehow possible to autosync my CalDAV calendars upon login into Mac OS X?
The reason I am asking is the following:
When I use local calendars in iCal (i.e. non-remote calendars like CalDAV or WebDAV based ones) I do not have to explicitly start iCal after I have logged into Mac OS X for reminders to pop-up.
If I want reminders of CalDAV calendars to pop-up, I do have to explicitly start iCal (I guess so that iCal syncs with the CalDAV server and get new appointments/reminders).
An example: My MacBook is turned off. On my iMac I create a new appointment with a reminder in - let's say - 5 minutes from now on. iCal syncs this appointment to the CalDAV server. Now I turn on my MacBook and log into Mac OS X. I *do not* start iCal and wait for the 5 minutes to pass. On my iMac the reminder pops-up, the MacBook remains "silent". If I - on the other hand - start iCal on my MacBook after log-in, iCal syncs, gets the appointment and both - iMac and MacBook - remind me simultaneously.
What I want is, that the "syncing part of iCal" starts up upon log-in, so that I do not have to startup the whole iCal app.
Any hints?
Thanks
Kai

How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
Any help is welcome.
Iris
P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

No longer able to sync with yahoo calendar after upgrade to OS5

Last night I upgraded my IPhone 4 to OS5 and when I went to look at my calendar this afternoon found almost all of my calendar data was missing except for some VERY old entries such as birthdays. I have never before used iCal or iCloud, just syncing between yahoo and the iPhone directly. All the account information seems to be correct. I just tried opening iCal on my Macbook Pro and set up the yahoo account in there, and the account seemed to sign in okay but no data appeared on the calendar. I am a very new mac user in the scheme of things, so have no idea how to even try an fixes for this, but it's very frustrating. If anyone has any suggestions or ways to fix this I'd love to hear them. Thanks so much.
-Lara

This just happened to me. Lost all my info on my phone but when I logged onto my laptop it showed all info was still in my calendars. If this is the same for you need to go to your settings, then go to mail,contact,calendar, then go to add account, then other, add CalDAV account.. You will have 4 things to fill out put Yahoo (server name) put your yahoo email and password and the description as yahoo... When you hit save will change the server name on it's own to CalDAV.calendar.yahoo.ca..... Once this goes threw all your info should come back to your calendar. This is what I did and it worked. Hope this helps.......

Recurring appointment not updating correctly with caldav calendar

I use iCal for my family's calendar. I sync this calendar to my online caldav calendar at godaddy.com. I have a 9-month weekly recurring teaching appointment in my calendar. In each month, there is at least one date that I do not need to teach, so I am trying to delete the event on that date. When I delete it in iCal for Sept 2010 and Oct 2010, it syncs bidirectionally to the web interface and removes the event from both iCal and my online calendar. However, when I try to delete the date from Nov 2010 and forward, it will not sync to the web interface, and about 15 seconds later when my iCal refreshes, the event comes back to my iCal calendar. Can anyone help me with this? I have called Go Daddy, and they say it is an iCal issue.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
If the issue persists:
1.) Delete the GoDaddy calendar from iCal > Preferences > Accounts
2.) Re-add the GoDaddy calendar
If the issue persists:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will 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 re-add the GoDaddy account to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and test.
Hope that helps.

Work around for 1 year search limit on CalDAV calendars?

By researching a couple of forums and doing some of my own testing I seem to have confirmed that if a calendar on an iOS device is synced "over the air" (CalDAV) then Calendar and Spotlight search will only look 12 months into the past - regardless of how many months/years of calendar data is actually synced.
If a calendar is synced via iTunes this limitation does not seem to apply.
Accepting that this is the case, my query is what is the least onerous way to:
a) Be able to search 2-3 years into the past and
b) Have additions/changes that are made on the iPhone/iPad immediately sync into the cloud server
The specific scenario I have (for a client) involves Outlook 2010 on a Windows 7 PC syncing over the air using iCloud.
My first thought is to maintain a separate calendar in Outlook for items more than (say) 11 months old. Have that calendar sync via iTunes - on the premise that it it is unlikely to change very often. Then once a month (say) manually move the 11-12 month old items from the CalDAV calendar to the iTunes calendar.
My second thought is to simply sync the same calendar both over the air and via iTunes and live with the duplicate entries.
Does anybody have ideas that are slightly more sophisticated and/or elegant than this?
Thanks in advance,
Graham

That's a bit sketchy. There's a much simpler way around the Volume Limitation. That's removing it. Just set the Volume Limit to its maximum, and it's virtually gone.

ICal stopped syncing with Google Calendar

My iCal recently stopped syncing with my Google Calendar.
Change: I decided to set up an application specific password (http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185833)
Action: Doing this made me enter the application specific password on my MacBook Air for my Gmail set up confirmation for email.
Result: When that happened everything was syncing fine; email & calendar.
The next morning when I tried to launch my calendar on my Air I received the error message that my Air could not access the Google Calendar. The password was incorrect.
Assumption: I needed to set aup an application specific password now for the iCal on my Air.
Action: I removed the calendar in iCal preferences and created an app specific password and tried to set up the calendar again using the app specific password from Google.
Result: Selected Account Type (Google) Email (google email) Password (app specific password)
Error Message: Server with Secure Communication Unavailable - Your calendar account isn't on a server that can recive your calendar information securely. If a server isn't secure, others may be able to view your calendar information. To continue searching for your account on servers that may not be secure, and then set up the account it's found, click continue.
Action: I went into my Google Calendar settings and made the calendar public.
Note: When I originally set up my calendar I didn't get this message or have to make my Google calendar public.
Question: Why am I getting this error message now?
Change: Account Settings: prompted me now to set this up as a CalDav account....?
What the heck?

the same is happening to me.
All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
Any ideas anyone ?

Syncing iCal+Google Calendar+MobileMe: Please Help

I set up the syncing through CalDav but in iCal it creates a new calendar (which is the Google Calendar). Would I have to delete my original calendar called "Home" and just make the Google Calendar (in iCal) my main calendar? Does it do a good job of syncing both ways? Also, if I do this, does it also sync through MobileMe?
Thanks

I have the same issue.I have been using Google Cal for a while and we sync all family stuff on it. Now that I moved to an iPhone, I got it to sync easily to the phone's Calendar app which is virtually the iCal from the MacBook. I have been trying to get my MobileMe account to sync with the calendar from the phone and it will not. I spent about 1 1/2 hours with Apple's chat service last night trying to sort it out. It doesn't work. All the right toggles and buttons are at the right sport but MobileMe simply won't communicate with the phone's calendar. The Apple guy wonders if it's because it's a 3way sync instead of the same (iCal) syncing in different areas.
Did you get any other tips?
