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...

  • I have an iMac with 10.9.1 and an iPhone 5 also updated to the newest system and I cannot get a sync set up between Ical and the iPhone or Outlook 2011 mac calendar with the iphone

    I have an iMac with 10.9.1 and an iPhone 5 also updated to the newest system and I cannot get a sync set up between Ical and the iPhone or Outlook 2011 mac calendar with the iphone. I would perfer using outlook but will settle for the Imac calendar

    It depends on what iMac you have. If it is an old PPC (G4 orG5) iMac then no further upgrades are possible. If it an Intel iMac:
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)

    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

  • When syncing my iphone i get a msg, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error occurred while merging data"   I sync my calendar to outlook.  My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information.  Outlook shows only recurringMY

    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any help is appreciated.  When syncing my iphone I get an message, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error ocurred while merging data" I sync my calendar to outlook.  My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information.  Outlook calendar only shows my recurring events. 

    hi there,
    i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
    just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
    turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
    and turn back on (MERGE!)
    now SYNC it..
    and that's it
    PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

  • Can Subscribed Calendars be viewed in MobileMe?

    I subscribed to 2 calendars through iCal with the Location for both set up as my MobileMe address.
    Both sync to my iCal on other MobileMe registered computers and to my iPhone running iOS 4.3.
    Neither appear on my web accessed MobileMe Calendar. The only calendar that appears via web access is the Birthdays calendar.
    Question:
    Is it possible to get the iCal subscribed calendars to appear on the MobileMe Calendar?
    I don't want to do the whole export thing as these calendars that I have subscribed to contain schedules that are controlled by others, i.e.: one is an NFL football team schedule that changes season to season. I do not want to have to manually update this every season.
    Thanks for your responses.

    Is it possible to get the iCal subscribed calendars to appear on the MobileMe Calendar?
    Yes, easily. Please see this Apple Tech Note:

  • A way to sync Subscribed Calendars

    I created an Automator Workflow that daily copies my subscribed calendars (company calendar) to local calendars. When I saved the workflow, I saved it as an iCal plugin with an alarm that goes off every day at 12:30 AM.
    To create the Workflow, download the Yellow Camp actions installer at…
    http://automatorworld.com/archives/yellow-camp-ical-actions/
    Once the actions are installed into the Automator library you can create the workflow.
    I have used the following:
    Find Events in iCal (a subscribed calender)
    Move iCal Events (into a local calendar that you name)
    You can repeat the above steps for a many subscribed calendars that you want to sync.
    Now my subscribed calendars appear at MobileMe and my iPhone.

    this is great and what i've been looking for but....
    how do you keep it from duplicating events?
    I just ran it after i had copied an event to my local calendar and when it ran it duplicated the event. So i had an event from my subscribed calendar on my local calendar twice.

  • Google Calendar to ICal to MobileMe

    I've been using Google Calendar for a couple years and want to "convert" my calendars to MobileMe.
    Using CalDAV, I was able to get my Google calendars (multiple ones set up) into iCal & be able to edit them, etc.
    Now, I'd like to take those calendars (just imported from Google) and sync them into MobileMe.
    I have two Mac's and various calendars for various reasons on both Mac's. I'd like to be able to manage them from one central spot - then tell each Mac which calendars they're 'allowed' to sync with.
    For example - the business Mac will sync with the business calendars only. The personal Mac will sync everything.
    Here's the problem:
    The personal calendars I just 'sync-ed' with Google won't 'upload' or sync into MobileMe.
    Help?
    Thanks!

    I think the answers are partly already in your question...
    MobileMe has the important limitation that you either sync all calendars, or none. So, you are not going to be able to sync some of the calendars using one MobileMe account, and the others using another account. However, I can see two workarounds:
    1) Use MobileMe to sync your work calendars, and Google to sync your personal calendars, or vice-versa.
    2) If you really want to only use MobileMe, you could create two user accounts on your personal Mac, one for each MobileMe account. Your personal user account would only have your personal calendars, and your work user account would only have your work calendars. If you still wanted to be able to display your work calendars on your personal user account, you could publish the work calendars to the work iDisk (using the procedure in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2071 to password-protect them) and subscribe to them on your personal user account. But, as you pointed out, you would not be able to edit them; you would have to switch to the work user account to make changes to the work calendars.
    Hope this solves your problem
    P.S.: I have 12 calendars, so I win

  • Syncing subscribed calendars

    I subscribe to our family calendar from my wife's Mac and I maintain a personal calendar on my Mac. My personal calendar syncs to my iPhone without a problem, but I can't get the subscribed calendar from my wife's computer to sync to the my iPhone. Can this be done?

    Yes, it's possible, but it might not be what you're wanting. The problem is that push sync doesn't work (yet?) with subscribed calendars. See the article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1213
    The way I've been able to work around this is to disable push, or "over-the-air" sync, and then only sync calendars when syncing over the USB cable. To do this, on your iPhone to go Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> then for each of your accounts (or in my case, just for .Mac), set 'Calendars' to Off.
    Then in iTunes, with your iPhone connected, sync your iPhone once, then go to the Info tab for your iPhone, and make sure the settings for "Sync iCal Calendars" is enabled for the right calendars.
    I've been checking back on that knowledge base article about once a month, and have yet to see any sign that Apple has fixed this problem. A search through the discussions shows that lots of folks are wanting push sync for subscribed calendars to work, so we are not alone!
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I sync iPod calendar with iCal?

    Hello everyone,
    I have just been bought a new iPod touch as a birthday present.  Since I have never had a device that operates like a smart phone before (I know it's not exactly a smart phone), I thought I would begin to use it as a diary, note-taker etc.  I have always done these things on paper, but now I think it would be a good idea to have them synchronized between iPod and computer.
    My laptop is running Snow Leopard, which I believe is too old to exploit iCloud.  So I have been trying to find out the "old fashioned" way of syncronizing an iPod and iCal on my laptop.  I thought it would do it automatically during the usual iTunes sync, but apparently not.  And I've found surprisingly little information on the web.
    What I have done so far is try to set up an account on iCal.  I clicked to add a new account, selected "Automatic" for account type, put my usual Gmail address in the e-mail address bar, and my Gmail password in the password bar.  Then clicked create.
    But as soon as I now try to enter anything in the calender, an error message comes up (I have redacted the event name and my Gmail username):
    The server responded with an error.
    Access to “[EVENT NAME]” in “[MY GMAIL USERNAME]@googlemail.com” in account “[MY GMAIL USERNAME]@gmail.com” is not permitted.
    The server responded:
    “HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden”
    to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
    Seems as though some mismatch between "gmail" and "googlemail" is the problem?
    Anyway, I'm not even sure I want to start using Google calendar – that was just what iCal automatically gave me.  Is there not an Apple equivalent (not iCloud) that would make things more compatible?
    Since I'm starting from scratch, I thought this would be easy, but no such luck!
    Thanks for any help!
    Jon

    Hey JonC84
    Thanks for the question. You can definitely sync your new iPod touch with the local calendar on your computer (you won't need to setup an account like iCloud). The following article may help you achieve this:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
    You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
    Calendars
    To sync calendars with your computer, choose "Sync Calendars" or "Sync iCal Calendars."
    - When syncing calendars, you can sync all calendars or sync specific calendars.
    - You can limit the data that is synced to only events that have occurred in the last 30 days. The option can be changed to any number of days.
    For additional information, see this article (while the article refers to iTunes 11, most steps are applicable for you):

  • Is there another app that WILL sync my now useless iCal to my iPhone??? GRRRRR

    OK so now my iCal on my iPhone has been deleted without my permission, is there another app that I can download to sync to my computer's iCal?
    Apple has played a nasty trick on me..

    There never was an iCal app on the iPhone. The calendar app that comes pre-loaded can't be deleted.
    Instead of blaming others for your ineptitude, search closely your phone. The app is still there.

  • How to Sync two calendars in iCal

    OK, here is my problem. I can access two calendars with iCal (one is on Google Calendar and the other one is on a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server) how can I synchronize them the best? I want to keep both in their original place, but I also want things to show up in both.

    Stephen,
    It seems to me that you have correctly determined that it makes sense to only publish an identical calendar from one of the computers.
    After appropriately backing up your calendars, you might want to consider Resetting .Mac Sync. It appears as if both of your computers are using 10.4.6, but just in case..."If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible."
    Make sure that "Synchronize my calendars with other computers using .Mac is checked in the General Preference of the iMac.
    ;~)

  • Syncing Subscribed calendars with iCloud?

    I'm not initially finding a way to push calendars I've subscribed to on my MacBook in iCal to the cloud and thus my other IOS devices. Does anyone know if this is possible?

    We have had a long discussion about this, se this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16873986#16873986
    Subscribed calendars will NOT show up in iCloud.com (the web calendar) unless they are shared among iCloud users as "private" calendars. If you want them to, you must make some kind of workaround. In the thread above at page 1 Mr. julian Wright describes one such workaround. But ifit is a calendar that updates frequently, this is not a good option

  • Can't sync google calendar to ical

    I had google calendar working perfectly using CalDav before updating to Mavericks. Even after the update it worked perfectly. Then I deleted my google account on Mavericks so I could get the email working again. Now Mac Mail works perfectly with GMail IMAP. But, I can't get iCal to work using caldav and google calendar. Anybody got this working, and if so, how? Google Calendar changed their servers a few months ago, but I have the correct url. Help!

    I've been working at this for 2 days now.  I added my Google calendar in iCal a few days ago and it worked fine just by going through the internet accounts setup in Mavericks.  I deleted the account because I was having issues with duplicate contacts and such and now I can't add it again.

  • HT5029 Why on Mavericks do I have to use iCloud to sync my calendars in iCal with iPhone?

    is there any way to sync calendars and contacts between Mac and iPhone other than iCloud?
    before migrating to Mavericks I could sync and keep my calendars and contacts in my Mac only

    Of course you could also use another provider for syncing your data between devices e.g. Google. I personally like iCloud the most, because it works seamless, especially if you are using various iOS devices and Macs.

  • Synced iPhone4 Calendar with iCal, No More Alerts On iPhone?

    I recently synced all my iPhone4 calendar info. with iCal on my new iMac. Now, all the alerts and reminders I have set up pop up on my iCal on my computer, but not on my phone. I'd rather them on my phone because I'm not always at my computer. How can I fix this? Anyone? Thanks!

    As a first step, try resetting the sync history on your Mac which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
    After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing again.

  • Calendar on iPhone not syncing with calendar on computer or mobileme

    I was just chatting with one of the mac support people and we were cut off. Lee had just made me do a manual sync of my calendar to have my computer calendar up to date (my Mobile Me calendar was the same as my computer one, so all was well there...).
    How do I now get my iPhone to sync with my computer/mobile me? And vice versa?
    This is very frustrating. I feel like it has to do with my iPhone upgrade, but I don't know for sure. All help is appreciated.

    You need to delete the old me.com calendar account, and ensure that Calendar is switched on in the iCloud account settings on your iPhone.
