Synchronize iCal with Exchange Calendar

The answer may be somewhere else, but there are too many post to get through to find the answer.
Previous to Tiger, I had it where my iCal synchronized with my calendar in Exchange. Once I installed Tiger, I cannot find this option, and my iCal is not synchronizing any longer with my Exchange account. Everything else synchronizes just fine.
Where is the option to turn this back on? I've searched through the iCal prefs, Mail prefs, iSynch prefs, .Mac pref panel, etc., cannot find the option to turn this back on.

Yeah, it's a real pain.
I had been using GroupCal but feel hesitant to use the 2.5beta - it would be be nice to know how far off 3.0 is.
What I have discovered with Apple Mail/iCal though is that the fault seems to be in how Apple Mail deals with the initial meeting request on the Exchange server. When you look in your Exchange Calendar folder in Apple Mail you get a URL that doesn't work. (I have just seen the note about Apple-[ so will try that soon)
What I do currently is get my outlook mail onto my PocketPC and either accept or give tentative acceptane to meeting requests. I then see the appropriate .ics files in the Calendar folder when viewing via Apple Mail and can click on the file to create the appropriate iCal event. This event then shows up correctly, as you would expect of an Outlook event including attendees and meeting status - which you can change in iCal.
There is something simple that Apple seems to be missing here.

  • Sync ICal with Exchange

    Hi
    I have the following problem. my Ical doesn´t sync with exchange calendar any more. only syncs till june 2010. Iphone sync still works (with the same server address etc.) both ways. I deleted Ical and calender cache and created the exchange account from the start. but that did not help.

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. All my Macs synced fine with the companys MS Exchange Server 2007 until the Mac OS X update was installed, which was released by Apple in mid Dec. 2010. The update was needed to support the new MobileMe calendar, which was also released by Apple at that time. Since this update all iCal installations on all of my Macs are not able to connect to the Exchange Server any more.
    The sync of Addressbook and Mail with the Exchange Server still works. So does the syncing of my iPad and iPhone with Mail, Addressbook and Calendar of the Exchange Server still works. Only the iCal of neither of my three Macs doesn't sync any more. Well the sync with me MobileMe calendar and my devices works perfect.
    I'm sure that the update is the cause of the sync issue with Exchange, because each of me Macs stopped syncing and showing the exclamation mark beside the Exchange Server account in iCal after updating the system with the MobileMe Patch. Clicking on the exclamation mark shows a message saying the at this time iCal is not possible to sync with the account. Looks the same as when there is no internet connection to the Exchange Server - only difference is, that there is a connection to it because Mail and Addressbook can access the Exchange Server.
    I've already tried to delete the Exchange Server account in iCal and set it up from the scratch. But this only deleted my old calendar entries I had form the time when the sync still worked.
    I hope someone from Apple reads this reply and has an answer to this problem. I was searching the Net since this problem accrued to me. I'm sure, that there is no system failure which causes the problem, because I have it on three Macs.

  • Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use.  Any suggestions?

    Have a thunderbolt and MacBook.  Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar.  Any suggestions?

    I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
    Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
    Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

  • How to sync iCal with Google calendar (both ways)???

    I have been trying to sync my ical with my google calendar both ways.
    I got all new event created in google calendar syncing into iCal but i can't get the one created in iCal go into google calendar.
    Help please!!!!
    thx

    When entering a new event in iCal be sure your "google" calendar is highlighted on the left had side of your screen. That makes Google your default calendar as you add events. Or you can choose which calendar from the drop-down box in the details box when adding a new entry. The down side is that is seems you can only select one Calendar; so the "Home", "Work", "Untitled" options become moot if you want to sync back to google.
    If you already had events scheduled in iCal; you can right click on them, select "Calendar" and then choose your google calendar. When you refresh your google calendar that event should show up.
    You simply need to be sure what Calendar you're entering into. Also if you wait a few SECONDS the calendars DO sync without any need to manually synchronize them.
    So basically, ensure you're entering into the Google Calendar in iCal and wait a minute.

  • How do you put RSS subscription from iCal on exchange calendar?

    I have created a RSS calendar subscription on my iCal. I have a exchange calendar set-up in my iCal. How do I get my RSS calendar subscription to sync with my exchange calendar?

    I had this problem as well.  I deleted the app and it still was showing the birthday calendar in the list even though it was not selected and I was getting the notifications.  To get rid of this, you have to go to the Settings App then scroll down to the facebook section (below the default apps & twitter) and delete your acount from there.

  • Razr Maxx Calendar will not sync with Exchange Calendar

    My Thunderbolt synced fine....just switched to the Razr Maxx Friday and the Calendar will not sync with my Exchange Calendar. Email and contacts are syncing fine.

    I guess I'm screwed.  My Razr HD calendar won't sync with Google - apparently all my events were on the phone calendar and not Googe calendar.  After following prior posts, I cleared the data on my phone's calendar - now my events are gone and I don't know when my next appointments are.  Any way to retrieve that data?  Any way to sync the two calendars - or to make sure the darn appointments are placed on the Google calendar and not the stupid phone calendar?
    You have to select the Google/Gmail account as the location where to save the event. In the screen where you are adding the info to create the event there is a spot for choosing which calendar to save it to. This is where you pick the Gmail calendar.

  • ICal Shared Exchange Calendar Stopped Working

    I have been successfully accessing the Johns Hopkins Exchange servers for mail, address book, and calendar services on my Mac for months. In iCal I had also been accessing a shared Exchange calendar for many months. About 1-2 months ago, I lost access to this shared calendar in iCal only. Since I can still access it from Outlook on a PC, it seems something must have changed on my Mac. I still have access to my own exchange calendar in iCal, but when I go to re-setup the shared calendar in the account set up window, it shows that the shard calendar exists in the list of available calendars, but the indicator spins and spins without ever revealing my delegate privileges. Did Apple change something that is blocking access to my delegate privileges in iCal?
    Thanks for any help,
    Bill Convey

    I would suggest to go into the options for that exchange server on your Pre and reset the calendar preference (that is: change it to not sync the calendar, save those settings, then switch it to 'on' again).
    After doing this, perform the following action:
    -Open your Contacts App
    -Select Preferences & Accounts from the dropdown menu
    -Scroll to the bottom of that page and select "Sync Now".
    This should resync all data on all Accounts on your phone.
    Please note: It may take up to 10 minutes to sync all data from all Accounts. If you do not see all synced information after 10 minutes, perform a soft reset (shutdown your phone and restart it).

  • 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 can I sync my iCal with iPad calendar

    Trying to sync my calendar on my iMac with the calendar on my ipad2.......any ideas?

  • Difference between syncing iCal with .me Calendar and publishing my iCal

    Hi everyone,
    This is probably kind of simple for most, but I'm actually just learning about iCal and how I can centralize my calendars in iCal on Calendar at .mac (or .me I guess). The Help section doesn't really address the confusion I have. So thanks for any insight you can share.
    1. What is the difference between syncing my iCal with Calendar and publishing my iCal to .me?
    2. I just added a new event to iCal. Then I clicked on a sync button (via the sidebar of my local iDisk). But when I checked Calendar, that new event wasn't there. Does anyone know why and then what to do to make it appear?
    3. When/If I add a new event while I'm at Calendar, how do I make sure it appears on my iCal? Do I follow the same local iDisk sync routine?
    4. Can my 2 friends and I log on to my account at the same time to view my Calendar while we're all on our laptops.
    Thanks a lot you guys.

    Ok, I wonder if you could help me with a similar but different problem. I have been using iCal now for awhile but only recently started using Google Calendars (once I found out they could both be synced together). Anyway, I understand how to set up the sync, it's very simple especially following the link that you already provided. But, I have three calendars for personal, school, and work already in iCal that are in the default group that iCal starts with of "calendars".
    Anyway, when you create a new account in iCal to set up the syncing, it creates a whole new calendar group. I had never had an "account" before, so all my three main calendars are separate from this new account. Is there anyway to move or duplicate those calendars into my new calendar group so that I can have one flowing set of synced information between google and iCal without manually retyping all of the information myself? I have tried dragging the calendars down into the other group and all you can do is reorder them within the group they're already in. Even a duplication would work, if that is possible (to duplicate a whole calendar).
    Any insight from anyone would be incredibly helpful.
    Thanks a ton,
    Zac

  • A recent problem with exchange calendar sync?

    I searched this forum and did not find anything of this nature.
    I recently noticed that the events from my exchange calendar have began to purge themselves from the Pre as time goes by. Old events, which had been synced at one time are now gone. Future events remain whether they were added from the server or my pre. But the old events are now limited to recurring events added from the exchange server and events added from the Pre. I have not noticed this before and wonder if anyone else is having the same problem. I would find it hard to believe this is programmed into the calendar software.  
    Thank you for any assistance.  
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    The next thing I would do is to export the data from Google and then remove the calendar from the Pre and delete it from Google. Reason this would be done is if there is any corrupted data that is on Google that is not syncing to the Pre. Import the calendar back into Google and add it back into the Pre.
    To export and import in Google go to your calendar then to settings. Then click on calendars and on the right side you should have an option to export calendar. Save the exported calendar to My Documents or some place that you can remember. The delete option should be under calendars as well. You want to do this for the main calendar.

  • Sync iCal with iCloud Calendar

    None of my appointments in iCal show up in my iCloud Calendar. In fact my iCloud Calendar has no appointments in it. I am sure I screwed something up in the coversion and trying to remove all the duplicate entries. In any event, how do I go about syncing forcing the appointments in iCal to show up in iCloud Calendar.

    Problem resolved, and I can now see the other replies, strange.
    Anyway, make sure you have a back up copy of your address book and iCal. Use the Export feature to make a back up.
    This is what I did to finally resolve the problem.
    Go into System Preferences and open "Mail, Contacts & Calendars". Remove all accounts, use the - box.
    Go into System Preferences and open "iCloud". Make sure that you have the screen that asks you to sign up for an account. DO not do this yet.
    Open Mac Mail and Preferences and remove any accouts that are still showing up so your Mail is completely empty.
    Reboot your Mac. Check all the above to see if any accounts have been automatically reinstalled or set up. If they have remove them again.
    Reboot again and do the same thing. Once no accounts are showing open you iCal and import the file you exported earlier. This will restore all your appointments in iCal on your Mac.
    Reboot your Mac. Make sure that all the iCloud and email accounts are not there. I had to do this 3 times, for what ever reason my old MobileMe account continue to be added back to "Mail, Contacts & Calendars". Once everything is clean and you have all your appointments in iCal, reboot again.
    Open Preferences and open "iCloud". Add your primary iCloud account and just wait for everything to finish installing. You should see 2 sets of appointments in iCal. Click on the Calendars button in the upper left and uncheck the box under the heading that does not say iCloud. This does not remove any of the appointments it just hides the ones that are on your Mac and then shows the ones that are on the iCloud Calendar.
    One last thing. In iCal open Preferences form the iCal dromdown menue. Under the "Default Calendar" option make sure that you have the default calendar related to the iCloud Calendar checked. If you do not when ever you create a new appointment on your Mac you will be creating it in iCal and two things will happen. First all your iCal appointments on your Mac will show up again and secondl, that appointment will not show up in iCloud Calendars so it will not migrate to your other devices.
    Apple should give some thought to having the iCal and iCloud Calendars merged so there are not seperate sets of appointments. I know there must be some reason for doing it the way they did but if someone is going to be using iCloud what would be the purpose of having a seperate set of appointments on your Mac that you have to hide and then worry about entering a new appointment that may not migrate to iCloud if you happend to se that appointment up in the iCal list instead of the iCloud list.

  • Updated to 10.6.3, can no longer sync iCal with Exchange Server

    My syncing with our exchange server used to work fine. I updated my 3 Macs and now they all have the same issue. They will not sync with the server and they all show 4 notifications that have not yet been responded to. When I view the notifications, they are all for old entries. I accept all 4, but doesn't seem to work - still shows iCal offline. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions? I tried removing the calendars cache file and plist files.

    I spent an hour on the phone with Apple today, got elevated to an engineer AND talked to a Server Guy at my University.
    The cause is still unclear, but the remedy has become painfully clear. To have a working copy of iCal, Mail, and AddressBook, one needs to remove all three accounts from the three client apps, and restart from Mail. This approach is the only way to preserve correct links among the three client apps.
    I got iCal working temporarily by deleting my Exchange account and rebuilding it. The problem is that by rebuilding an iCal account, it created duplicate accounts in Mail and AddressBook. Also, the Apple apps autodiscovered slightly different server names, which caused problems sending me and I was getting duplicate email messages as well as contacts and calendar events. I deleted the redundant mail and contact accounts, but continued to have problems with sending mail and I lost my ToDos in Mail. So, I bit the bullet and have blitzed all my exchange accounts on my MBP and am waiting for it to repopulate the 5+ GB of data. Then tomorrow, I will do the same on my iMac.
    Sheesh!

  • MacBook won't sync with Exchange calendar

    Hi all,
    I've got an iPhone 4 and a MacBook Pro which I use for work.  The help desk at work was able to set up my iPhone to receive both email and calendar appointments.  On my MacBook I'm also able to get email, but for some reason I can't get the calendar function to work, using iCal. 
    I work as a freelancer, so have a number of different calendars and not being able to sync this one makes things difficult.
    The help desk had a quick look at it, but said that as I'm freelance they're not required to spend any time on it (and they've got lots on their plate anyway), so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help.
    For me the oddity is that my iPhone has no problems, but the MacBook does (and gives me hope that there might be some small setting that I've overlooked that would fix this).
    So, here's what i've got.  The bits in bold are the fields and the details that follow are the settings I've entered>  For obvious reasons, I've removed any information that might be sensitive (e.g. usernames, password, company name).
    iCal settings:
    Enable this account: Checked/ticked
    User name: mcs\username (I've also tried just putting in the username, without the "mcs\" prefix
    Password: I've entered this and double-checked it to ensure that it's correct and matches what I'm using with the iPhone calendar
    Refresh: Every 15 minutes
    Internal Server: mail.companyname.com.au
    Server Path: / (I've also entered "http" in the "Internal Server" field and "mail.companyname.com.au" to see if that works, but no luck).
    Port: Auto
    Use SSL: Checked/ticked
    Delegation: I get the message "You can't see delegation settings when this account is offline"
    iPhone settings:
    Under the account settings for this calendar, "Calendars" is set to "On"
    Email: [email protected]
    Server: mail.companyname.com.au
    Domain: mcs
    Password: ********
    Use SSL: Checked/ticked
    S/MIME: Not checked/Not ticked
    I'm running the latest version of Lion and iCal. 
    Is there anything obvious that I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?  Thanks for any help
    GG

    I've managed to fix this!
    In case it's helpful to anyone encountering this problem, here's what I did.
    I went into the preferences (through the Calendar app, not the System Preferences - didn't want to remove the entire account info, in case I encountered problems getting my email to link again), clicked on the Account tab and removed the Exchange account (by clicking the "-" (minus) sign below the listing of accounts).  I then added an account (clicking the "+" sign) and re-entered the information.  When asked if I wanted to add these settings for Mail and Contacts, I unclicked those options (bc they're already installed and work fine).  Once I completed the information, I closed the settings window, and hit ⌘+R to refresh and all the Exchange appointments appeared.
