Unable to publish iCal

Hi folks,
When trying to publish one of my iCal calendars, I get a pane pop up which says:
Calendar could not be published. Your .Mac account information is not correct. You cannot publish to .Mac until you have configured your .Mac account.
The pane gives me the option to cancel, or go to 'Open .Mac preferences' which gives me no clue whatsoever as to how to configure my .Mac account.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Having been overwhelmed by the response to my question, I'm now happy to report that the problem is solved. By changing my search slightly, I eventually found this page:
http://www.timefold.com/osx/tips/webdavical.html
...which did the trick. It's meant for Leopard, but seems to work OK with Snow Leopard too.

Publish iCal to OS X Server 10.3.9 with WebDAV enabled--not working

I've published iCal calendars to other servers with WebDAV enabled, but so far have not been able to publish to OS X 10.3.9 server with WebDAV enabled.
Error message is: Calendar could not be published. This access has been forbidden by server.
I'm using an administrative username and password to eliminate any question about access to specific directories, I've ensured that the site is WebDAV enabled using the OS X Server Admin gui (so, web/sites/domain name/ editing section, under Options). I've been unable to find any more detailed instructions on publishing to OS X server. Any suggestions, webpage tutorials, etc., greatly appreciated.
FWIW, I suspect the folder location for where the .ics file would go on the server may be the issue. The web content is in Library/WebServer/foldername and this is where I put the calendar folder.

Hi Jovan
I don’t think its a problem with 10.3 server as such. You’ve got to remember that 10.3 is getting on a bit. As far as supporting the latest drive sizes Apple as well as other interested parties would devote their energies in supporting the latest operating systems. For example Microsoft have recently released Vista. Most interested parties will get on board the Vista bandwagon and start developing and writing drivers and software for that rather than XP. After a while you will start to see less and less being developed for the older operating system. I think this is just one of those times.

Can't publish iCal in iWeb after updating.

I recently updated to the new iCal but now I am unable to publish my calendar to my web site through iWeb? Help me please.

If the files are in your sites folder, then iWeb will never be able to open them because they contain your published site. iWeb has no import facility so is unable to open html pages - a previously published site.
You need the data storage file called domain.sites to be able to access your site again. This can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Find this file and double click it and iWeb will open it.
Note that you need to look in your User Library and not your System Library, as you won't find iWeb there.

Can multiple users alter a published ical calendar/to do list?

two people , both with .mac accounts and used to using and publishing ical calendars, want a shared task list and shared calendar. both should be able to alter both.
is it possible?
thanks
e

This is exactly what a colleague and I want to do - and two more colleagues will want to join in on our shared calendar and to do list soon . All of us have .mac accounts etc. Surely lots of people would want this straightforward feature too....
We don't, however, want to have to swap our .mac login details with each other. If I understand you right Gotham, that is what your soultion is. Thanks but not suitable for me.
If iCal can't do this, why not? and what can?

Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW?

Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW? I use this for a vacation rental and people never ever ever ever need to see anything but the MONTH VIEW. I hate having to tell them to click MONTH view at the top of the page. Is there a way to force it to always appear in MONTH? Thanks!

ddotcom,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately no, but if they are repeat viewers why not tell them to change their view to "Monthly" using the "Preferences" button on that page?

Hi There,
Can you tell me the Operating System and Captivate version you are using?
Also can you confirm if you are getting this issue will this one project or all the projects? Try to copy paste this project on a new blank project and then try to publish.

Sharing video; unable to publish to YouTube and cannot compress enough to send as attachment in email

I have followed the instructions for sharing but I am unable to publish 3 minute video (and it is not in HD). What am I missing? I also cannot seem to compress it enough to send as an attachment in an email. Any suggestions?

Export it in the size you wish and then, after you have the .mov file, you can easily upload it to Youtube. I can't imagine a 3 minute video that would be too large for Youtube to accept. Sometimes, iMovie (as well as iPhoto) seems to have problems "sharing" to other applications. I don't even try anymore. It is almost as easy to export the video and then upload it where ever you wish.

Publish ical on internet for any apple or window users?

I would like to publish ical for my business. Therefore my clients can see what days I have available. I have tried ical exchange and am not able to get my friend to log onto it on their windows (mozilla) web browser. I have tried .web but run into the same problem. I do not want to use .mac if I have to because of the cost. I figure I have two options publish it to a site similar to ical exchange or publish directly to my website. I do not know how to either, any advice?

You can use the publish feature of iCal to publish your calendar to either a .Mac account or any other URL which is running WebDAV services (WebDAV is a mechanism to allow file transfers over FTP - supported by Apache and many fine web server software).
If your web site is not running WebDAV see if your system administrator can set that up for you.
More information on WebDAV can be found here: http://www.webdav.org/
Here are some hosting companies that support WebDAV: http://www.hosting-comparison.com/info/webdav-hosting
For what its worth, I pay the $99 for .Mac and between the backup software and synchronizing my machines I think its worth it. The .Mac hosting and Email is just a bonus.

Unable to start iCal Server... am i opening a can of worms?

Hello!
In Server Admin I'm unable to get iCal server to Start. Pressing start button, it thinks for about a second, then gives up. I went over to Terminal and typed the following command: sudo serveradmin start calendar and the result is: calendar:error = "NOVIRTUAL_HOSTERR" and google didn't return anything of value when searching that string.
The machine is set up as a directory slave using Directory Utility. There is a little green dot assuring me that all is okay. Note, the Users are able to create User blogs on the main server page, so it must be working as far as communicating with the directory server. (Note, i had to use Terminal to change one setting to allow the Blogs to work, by following the steps in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1619 )
I have not yet done anything with Certificates. The SSL option is not checked in the in the iCal Settings in Server Admin. Authentication = Any Method. Host Name = the host name I specified for Apache in the Web Settings of Server Admin.
I also have not done anything with DNS in Server Admin. It is not switched on. And I am not looking forward to hiring someone from Apple tech support to fill in the blanks for six hundred bucks, if that can be avoided. (Unless that is in fact what's wrong?)
I'm not really sure where to start or what to ask other than.. why won't it turn on?

Hi,
It might be worth to try following steps to refresh/synchronize project files.
* Refresh all projects, perform clean & re-build
* alternatively, you can also try to close the project(s) and re-open

Published ical calendar

Hello everybody, it seems not to be possible to set the way a published ical calendar appears. If I have a look at it in the browser the week starts with sunday. This may be a us standard. Here in Switzerland we start the week with monday... I know it is possible to change the settings by every user. But I want it to be ready as I want to show it.
Further: Does anyone know a good solution to export the calendar to a web editor, resp. to export a calendar as a website and then edit it in the web editor? I wonder why iCal does not support such a feature.
Thanks for your inputs.

Double post.

Presenter 7.07 error. "Adobe Presenter is unable to publish this presentation...."

Hello,
I am getting the following error for only one presentation out of perhaps 200 that my team and I have published in the last 3 years. "Adobe Presenter is unable to publish this presentation. Please check that you have enough disk space and you have appropriate permissions for the destination folder.'
1. Plenty of disk space
2. Correct permissions
3. Can publish other presentations in that same folder.
4. Running Windows 7. As mentioned, have had no other problems with this for past and current presentation publication. Just this one file.
5. We have copied and pasted from this file into a clean file. No avail.
6. We have had two people try to publish it from different computers and have gotten the same error so it isn't a Windows profile issue.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Greg

I just had the same problem after adding a long description in the SCORM settings. Try shortening your description, title, or Identifier on the reporting tab under Manage for Quiz. This fixed two different files that we were having issues with.

Publish iCal on .Mac

Hi
After publishing iCal, I get URL in "View Page". I use the URL on my homepage to show iCal.
However, when it's linked, it always shows 'Weekly' page as a default page. I like 'Monthly' page as a default page.
I clicked 'Preferences' and changed a default page to 'Monthly' and it seems to work in Safari until I empty cache. And then it shows 'Weekly' as a default page.
I also noticed that 'Preferences' doesn't work in FireFox. When I tried to change a default page and clicked 'Apply', it goes to Apple site.
My question is, how can I make 'Monthly' page as a default page, permanently?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you

I just tried to figure out a way to fix this, but it seems like a flaw in the program (at least for you). I would recommend leaving feedback on the iCal feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html.

Publish iCal Local Account Calendar on OS X Server

I'd like to publish my iCal calendar (iCal>Calendar>Publish...>Publish on: A private server) on my OS X Server 10.6.7 ().
Whenever I attempt to do this using my local account on tthe server, I get the error:
http://username@domain_name/Home.ics is not a location that supports this request.
I've tried all the obvious stuff: turning off the firewall, sanity checking the iCal service authentication settings, everything obvious. I believe that this is an authentication issue for local accounts on OS X Server. Because the server is set up as a standalone (i.e., no network accounts, all local accounts), Open Directory is turned off, and there's no Kerberos authentication that I'm aware of.
Would someone please tell me how how to publish iCal calendars of local accounts on OS X Server?

According to iCal Server Administration, OS X Server requires an Open Directory account, so you cannot publish your local account's iCal calendar.
You can, however, use iCal itself and a modification of the OS X Hint "Publish iCal calendars with local WebDAV server" to publish local account calendars.
0. Server Admin>Web>Sites Turn on the Web with an enabled host name. Make sure that WebDAV is enabled under Server Admin>Web>Sites>Options. Enable SSL with your server's certificate under Server Admin>Web>Sites>Security to ensure that your personal calendar information is SSL encrypted over the web.
1. Append this directive to the end of the file /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Include /private/etc/apache2/other/*.conf
and make sure that there's no conf file in ./other that you may not wish to load, such as httpd-userdir.conf. Move these to *.conf.original or some such if necessary.
2. Create the file /private/etc/apache2/other/httpd-webdav.conf with the contents:
# WebDAV configureation for Publishing local account iCal calendars
# Based in part on Mac OS X Hint "iPublish iCal calendars with local WebDAV server Apps"
# http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20020912065811863
# copied from /etc/apache2/sites/0000_any_443_myserver.conf
# which is automatically generated by Server Admin>Web
# No need to replicate these directives here, so comment out
#<IfModule mod_dav.c>
#       DAVLockDB "/var/run/davlocks/.davlock100"
#       DAVMinTimeout 600
#</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_dav.c>
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav">
    DAV On
    AuthType Digest
    AuthName 'WebDAV'
    AuthDigestFile /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
    AuthGroupFile /dev/null
#    <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
      require valid-user
#    </LimitExcept>
</Directory>
</IfModule>
3. Create the apache htdigest authentication file:
$ mkdir /private/etc/apache2/httpd
$ chmod 0755 /private/etc/apache2/httpd
$ touch /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
$ chmod 0644 /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
$ htdigest /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest WebDAV username
Adding password for username in realm WebDAV.
New password: md5 hashed password
Re-type new password: md5 hashed password
4. Create the WebDAV directory:
$ mkdir /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
$ chown www:www /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
$ chmod 0755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
$ mkdir /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
$ chown www:www /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
$ chmod 0755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
and sanity check that the OS X Server davlocks directory /var/run/davlocks exists [it should!] and has www:www ownership with permissions 755 [it should!].
5. Sanity check your apache config files:
$ apachectl -t
should yield "Syntax OK". Then Server Admin>Web>Stop and Start to restart your web server with the new configuration.
5. Under your local account on OS X Server, iCal>Calendar>Publish... Publish on a private server with the URL:
https://osxserver/webdav/iCal
using OS X Server's local account username/password. Success will be reported with a URL of your calendar on the server.
6. Under another client account from which you wish to subscript to your OS X Server local account's Calender, iCal>Calender>Subscribe... Enter the URL on OS X Server. You will be prompted for the htdigest name/password pair you created above -- enter this, not the username/password of your local account on OS X Server. Even though you should be protecting this channel with SSL and md5, don't reuse your username/password to access the WebDAV directory you created. You will now be subscribed to your local account's iCal Calendar residing on OS X Server.
