Todo created in mail not added to iCal

Just upgraded my MacBook Pro with Leopard, and have installed all the software updates. I Can't seem to make a to-do that I create in mail to show up on my iCal calendar. The to-do gets created in mail no problem, and shows up there on the list of to-dos. It has the correct information, title, date, time, etc. and shows as being listed on the correct calendar (my "work" calendar). However, when I go over to iCal and look at that same calendar, the to-do is not there. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for help.

IGNORE THIS POST - I SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

and the work calendar appears in ical under your email account name, correct?
I would play around with todos and calendars as follows:
1) create one or several other calendars in ical under your email account with which you create your to dos in Leopard Mail.
2) try to assign your already created to do to other calendars, see what happens
3) create other to dos in these other calendars from Mail, see if they appear in ical
4) create other to dos in these calendars under your email account name in ical, and see if these to dos appear in Leopard Mail
let me know what you find.

Events created on iPhone not added to iCal

The events I've created on my iPhone to not get added to iCal when I sync via iTunes. I've tried "sync all calendars" as well as syncing selected calendars.
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I have a feeling it's really obvious and I'm just not seeing it...

I have a solution that ACTUALLY works:
Make sure your iPhone is displayed in iTunes.
Select your iPhone and then select the Info tab.
UNCHECK Sync Address Book contacts, and then recheck.
UNCHECK Sync iCal contacts, and then recheck.
Sync your iPhone.
You'll be prompted to accept both Address Book and iCal changes and the sync will work!
From that point on all you have to do is sync normally and it'll transfer both Address Book contacts and iCal events BOTH ways!
Thank you to the fabulous Apple Tech representative who helped figure out this solution!!!

Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

Ok, this will work.
1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
Good luck!

Printing Notes added in ICal

Hello,
I have been adding notes daily into ICal on my Iphone and now I need to print them out but can't figure out how. I have synced with my IMac at home and the notes were not even showing up, different problem that I think I have fixed. Can someone please point me in the right direction to fix this. Thanks.

I talked to a mobile me genius via ichat, and he told me that synching notes is supported between computers, but not between iphone and computers. we were talking about 0S 10.5.8. hope this helps!

Missed ANOTHER appointment - Invites received in Mail not showing in iCal

I missed an appointment this morning, and it's because of a bug in Mail/iCal.
This is how it's supposed to work:
- iCal collects invitations from Mail.
- The invites show up in the notifications area and also show up in "gray" in the calendar pane.
- You can Accept/Decline within the notifications area or by double-clicking the gray appointment.
Unfortunately this is NOT working for me. It used to work beautifully. Then I started missing occasional invitations. Now it seems rare that it works.
Note: I have a very large mailbox, and a lot of the missed invitations are being sent from Outlook. However many missed appointments are also being sent from another iCal user.
I've seen this issue reported elsewhere, but without resolution:
(related but not the same): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11583205&#11583205
(identical issue, posted 09/2009, a re-post from 8 months earlier):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9935599&tstart=0
When is apple going to fix this? I run my business on this platform and just spent an hour figuring out how I missed an important meeting. I dug through the forums, found the above unanswered issues, and now I'm posting this detailed message in hopes that it will be fixed.

Unfortunately, .ics files, which is how iCal invites are sent +as attachments+, are not recognized by the Mail app on the iPhone. Only Apple can alter that.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Note that the New Invitation Alerts setting on the iPhone applies to calendar invites sent via MobileMe or MS Exchange (those are true calendar invites, not email attachments).

Calendar event created on iphone not showing in ical.

I have a 4S and when I create a calendar event in ical, it does not show up in my ical ofn my Macbook Pro.
I have check sync calendars in iTunes and have selected to display all calendars in my Macbook's iCal.
Is ther some thing I am overlooking, or a step I may be forgetting?
Thanks

After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
0) Plug in iPhone
1) Start iCal
2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
3) Quit iCal
4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
5) Start iCal
6) Import all exported calendars
7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
8) Sync iPhone

Events received in Mail not appearing in iCal

My fiancee is having some problems with iCal. When she receives an event it used to (and still does on my machine) appear in iCal automatically, whether she had read the email or not. Now, to get an event from Mail into iCal she has to open the attachment.
Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Is she receiving them as iCal event invitations from an iCal user?
If so, for me anyway, these do show up directly in iCal without opening them in Mail. And as you're aware, they are counted up with the little red number on the iCal icon down in the Dock.
Now when I get invitations for my iCal from OUTLOOK (non-iCal, basically) users, this never happens. I have to explicitly open the invite in Mail, double-click the icon to get it over into iCal, etc.
If you're talking about pure iCal-to-iCal invites, I agree, her system is not working as mine does or I would expect it to. Maybe take a look into iCal -> Preferences? --DG

Notifications from Mail not working in iCal

Notifications from Mail are not working. I have set the proper setting in both iCal and Mail with no luck. .ICS files show up in Mail when I search but they don't populate of show in the Notifications window in iCal.

The same problem here. It used to work for a while. But after the last update it stopped working.
if I get an e-mail reply to an event, it does not update the attendee list.
i figured out though, that if you drag the .ics file onto iCal window (events part), the attendee status is updated and event is marked as done, but there is still a question mark in the upper part of the event.
obviously a bug.

Mail not adding Sender to Address Book

When I have a message from someone I want added to my address book, I hit the menu button to Add Sender to Address Book, yet nothing at all happens, and I end up having to enter all the info manually. Any ideas as to why this occurs, or how to get it working?

The shift, command, Y didn't work, and when I opened the Console app, and tried the menu command, it didn't work, and I didn't see anything showing up on the Console, relative to Mail.
What I did see on the Console was endless lines like this:
MacKeeper Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/MacKeeper Helper", ...): No such file or directory
Nov 14 11:10:04 stevens-computer com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[106] (com.zeobit.MacKeeper.Helper[40111]): Exited with exit code: 1
Nov 14 11:10:04 stevens-computer com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[106] (com.zeobit.MacKeeper.Helper): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Do you have any idea why it keeps doing this, despite my not having MacKeeper on my computer? Could there be a hidden file I can't find? And do you know what "Throttling respawn" means?

Help!! cal event created and emailed not posting to ical

i create a calendar event in outlook at the office and invite my personal email address and then when i look at my ical the event does not show up.. i have the option set so this should happen automatically but it doesn't....please any help would be appreciated, thanks.

not sure what you mean????
if i receive and invite from someone (or send to myself for that matter) the event should be automatically posted to my calendar without any action on my part.
this is what happens when an event is sent to a gmail account (the event is automatically posted on the calendar)

ICal "created by Mail" problem

After updating to OS 10.6.6 iCal became unusable on my main Mac Pro. All events and To Dos are properly displayed, but when trying to add a new calendar event by double-clicking on a date the following dialog box appears:
"This calendar was created by Mail" (not true). "You can't add events to a Mail calendar. Mail calendars only contain to do items created in Mail" (also not true, all calendar events are properly displayed).
Doing the usual maintenance steps (restart, fix permissions, reload the iCal application) did not solve the issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - too much of my life is in there to have to recreate it all.

Look at the sidebar when ical is open. At the top you'll see a "to do" calendar, it may be under a heading - mine says Personal - this was created when a to do item was created in Mail. If the "to do" is under a heading as mine is click the arrow so the folder closes and only the heading not the "to do" is showing. By default ical will open up with that item highlighted, if the arrow is closed ical will open with one of your normal Mobile Me calendars highlighted.
Whichever one is highlighted in the sidebar is the one you create an event on when you click on a date in the calendar window. If that "to do" one is highlighted it won't let you create an event since it's managed by to dos created in Mail. Once you make sure that one of the other calendars is highlighted you can then click on a date and create the event.

IPhone will not sync to ical on my macbook.

Hi I hope you can help,
When i add an event in my iphones calendar the event is not added to ical on my macbook (sync works in the other direction though). I do not have a mobile me account (i just sync via itunes) and have tried resetting sync history. Do i need mobile me or should i be able to do this without it?
Thanks for the help.

Slight update. I just noticed that on my iphone i have two calendars i have a "from my mac" calendar and an exchange one associated with my work email adress. This is perhaps what is causing me to have problems updating my mac ical? If so is there a way of merging the two calendars maybe?

In iCal - I keep getting the error message " This calendar was created by Mail" and it will not accept any input; why..??

use Disk Utility and Verify Permisions then fix and Verify Disk and fix, this should fix it.

My ical will not let me add events it saying my calender was created by mail. How can I change this. We use mobile me and synch

Does anyone know how I can add events to my desktop ical when the message I receive says that the calender was created by Mail
I do not know how this happened. I managed to synch and change this some months ago but I do not know how!

Hi Cara,
Welcome to Discussions.
With iCal closed, try deleting it's preference file (User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist).
If this does not work try repairing permissions. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) and select your boot volume on the left and click Repair Permissions.
If neither of these work post back.
