Where to save iCal event

When I enter an event in my iPhone I have the option of saving it as work from my mac or work from iCloud! Which is best to ensure it syncs across iMac iPad and iPhone! Thanks

Sody,
The answer to your question is not a simple iMac, or iCloud. It depends upon which version of OS X you are using on your iMac.
Since you appear to be using Snow Leopard on your iMac, iCloud and Snow Leopard, by Roger Wilmut should detail the options which will be available for your setup.
If you are using Lion, you should use the iCloud calendar to ensure all devices/computers are synced.

  • Ical can´t save the event "event name" to the exchange server

    I have been trying to set up iCal to work with exchange in several Macs runnig Snow Leopard but there seems to be some time zone issue.
    When I try to save a new event, I get a error: iCal can't save the event "event name" to the exchange server. The account "account name" currently can't be modified, to discard...       If I change the city in time zone preferences to anything outside Mexico (for example Dallas Tx.) then everything works perfect, the problem is all of my users are in Mexico City aund using CST instead may cause other problems.
    I have tried with time zone support enabled and also disabled.
    Something very odd is that existing events can be modified or deleted, even with the city set to Mexico in time zone preferences.
    ¿Any suggestions?

    UPDATE 2: Found aother post that explains that this problem was fixed by enabling time zone support in iCal and then changing the city to the correct one by clicking in the upper right corner of iCal´s window where the time zone is displayed.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/10108361#10108361
    Well, I followed instructions mentioned above. By clicking on the upper right corner, a new window opens showing current iCal time zone settings (Not the same as Mac OS), in this window, time zone seems right (CDT), but as closest city, "UTC-UTC" is selected, so I change this to México and click OK, but the problem continues. If I go back to this iCal´s time zone window, "UTC-UTC" is still selected! and no mater how many times i change it back, after clicking OK, "UTC-UTC" comes back!.
    Something else I just found out is that if the city is changed to anything outside Mexico within the same time zone in system preferences, as I mentioned before I can save events, but now in the upper right corner of iCal, I have two different CDT´s, one named "CDT Central Time" (the one that works) and other named "CDT Central Standard Time" (the one that doesn't).
    My guess is that because daylight saving start and finish dates in Mexico are different from USA's, Apple created a different time zone with Mexico's rules (CDT CentralStandard Time) but something is wrong with it.

  • Hi, where is the new event window in ical??

    Hi, what I'm trying to do is to repeat an event every week for the rest of the year in ical, so I read one post which had a picture of the new event window pop up. Where is that new event window??? It doesn't pop up for me.
    Here's what I do:
    1. I click on File, then New Event.
    2. A highlighted portion where I can write in text shows up, but then I don't know where the option to make the reminder a repeated reminder comes up.
    I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8, I believe.
    Or...how do I jiust repeat an event without going to this?? I'd just like to repeant an event.
    Any help??
    Thanks in advance,
    Bonnie

    All right, never mind, I found it myself!!! You gotta double-click (press twice on mouse area) on the highlighted portion of the text that shows up on a date.
    Thanks for reading this!!!

  • Is it possible to save an Event and the informations attached to his medias (favorites, Keywords, Notes) on an external disk where I saved the first version of this Event, without re-copying the all medias on a new Event called fcp1?

    Is it possible to save an Event and the informations attached to his medias (favorites, Keywords, Notes) on an external disk where I saved the first version of this Event, without re-copying the all medias on a new Event called fcp1?

    If they both have the same media, you can just copy the CurrentVersion.fcpevent file.  But then you have two databases with the same UUID, and FCP X will only open one of them.  If you use Carbon Copy Cloner, you can clone just that folder to the external drive, and set it up to only update files that are newer or have changed.

  • Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

    Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
    This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
    Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
    I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
    If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
    Thankyou
    Andrew.

    Andrew,
    Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
    No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
    If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

  • Ical Help needed- can not delete a four year ical event

    I accidentally sent an ical event that lasts for four years and now I he cant delete it and it is taking up more and more memory on his phone as it is repeating infinitly every day?? Have tried restore but it still syncs with icloud. is there an easy solution?

    First you have to know which calendar your client saved the event to. Usually by default it saves to the native Calendar app. If that is the case, he should be able to log into iCloud and delete the event (decline the invitation) from there. If your client saved the event to an external calendar that he has synched to his iPhone (Yahoo, Google, etc.) he may be able to delete it or decline it from there, which should in turn remove it from the device.
    The logic here is that only the creator of the event invitation can edit the event details, so that if they do that, all of the recipients of the invitation will get the updated information automatically. I agree it leaves a lot to be desired to stick things on people's calendars that they can't at the very least just simply delete if not edit. I will no longer accept invitations directly on my device in order to avoid this. I will add the event to my calendar manually from now on.

  • Ical events showing in week view as an hour later than the details in event

    Hi all,
    I've just been upgrading my ical / mobileme and I can't figure this out. All time zones are set to London-UK. If I look up appointments in week view all my calendars are colour coded. One particular calendar appears 1hr late with appointments. When I go into the details of this even it show correct time. For example. Kids school looks like it's in for 9:50 in week view but when I go into appointment it reads the correct time of 08:50?
    Any ideas. Thanks

  • Cannot add new iCal events on my iPhone 3G.

    My iPhone 3G has stopped saving new iCal events. I can still set up new events in iCal on my laptop, and they'll sync over to my iPhone, but new events won't save when entered into iCal on my iPhone. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix this?
    BTW, I just got rid of a MobileMe account. I never ended up using MobileMe, so it doesn't seem like that should be the issue here, but I noticed that some other folks have had iCal sync issues with MobileMe, so I thought I'd add that info.

    In other words, it's hacked.
    Sorry, you can't get help here.
    Say for an instance, that it wasn't hacked. Would you suggest to just wipe and restore it?

  • I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone.

    I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone. It does not have the edit button at the top of the screen.
    The event does not show up in iCal on my Mac or on my iCloud.
    One of these is a reoccuring event.

    The only other thing I can think of is to try deleting the entire calendar from your iPhone and then sync your iCal calendar to your phone again.  This needs to be done carefully.  I would begin by backing up your iCal calendar on your mac for safekeeping by opening iCal, then going to File>Export>Export, save this on your desktop.  Then do the following:
    On your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn Calendars to Off.  You should get a prompt asking you whether to keep or remove the calendar data from your phone.  Choose to remove it.
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to iTunes>Preferences, go to the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing".
    Now connect your phone and, as before, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Confirm that you have checked to Sync Calendars with iCal, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone check Calendars, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
    This should transfer your iCal calendar to your iPhone, hopefully this time without the problem event.  Check your phone to confirm that this was successful, then you can then go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • Create new iCal event from contents of mail uses wrong date

    I received an email today with an appointment using the date "6/3/2010 at 4PM". Being from the US, it is obvious to me that this meeting should occur on June 3, 2010, but when I attempt to create a new iCal event with this date it creates the event on March 6, 2010. Even more confusing is that when I choose "Show this date in iCal" it highlights March 7, 2010!
    My question is:
    Shouldn't the system default to a month/day/year date preference everywhere when I've selected US English in the internationalization preferences pane?

    have a very similar question: is there somewhere an application where I can, when receiving an email, put it into iCal so that I am reminded about it in a week or something?

  • In mail "create new ical event" has stopped appearing in ical

    Please help! I love clicking on data in email to bring up the "Create New iCal Event" box, and using it to put new events into my ical calendar. But recently when I "Create New iCal Event" from an email, and click "add to iCal" the window closes but the event doesn't show up in iCal. I can still add events by clicking on a calendar date in iCal and typing them in, but the link between Mail and iCal seems to be broken. How can I fix it?
    Could this be related to how Firefox recently broke? Foxfire will not save bookmarks any more, either, I click on "Bookmarks," then "Bookmark this page". The window closes but the bookmark does not save. Also, the forward/backward browser arrows no longer work on Foxfire.

    Could you be more specific? What happens (or fails to happen?)

  • Link an email to an iCal event

    I would like to link an email message in Mail to an iCal event. Under Lion, the only way to do this seems to be to drag the email out of Mail and into a separate folder on the hard drive. Then drag the icon of that mail message to the url section of the event in iCal. Surprisingly, there does not seem to be any way to make a direct link between a message in Mail and an iCal event. If so, this is quite a major oversight and I am keen to know if others are concerned and/or have any solutions to propose.

    Ben,
    Open the event in edit mode. If you double click it and the buttons 'Edit' and 'Done' appear you need to click 'Edit', if the only button is 'Done' it is already in edit mode.
    When you drag the email over the grey event edit window a plus icon with a green background should appear. Drag it until the cursor is over the word 'none' next to where it says 'url'.
    If it works the text 'none' will change into a hyperlink saying 'Show in Mail…'.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Found iCal events in Time Machine.  Now Lion only allowing me to import one event at a time.

    Upgrade my macbook pro over the weekend to Snow Leopard and then Lion.   I lost all my the majority of my iCal events.   Went to Apple store and they said that was rare and not sure how to restore my last back up from Time Machine on an external drive.   I've been spending hours trying to go through a bunch of threads on different MAC formums.  
    So I finally found my iCal events in Time Machine.   When I try to import these events, I am only allowed to highlight/import one event at a time.   This will take me forever to import years of missing data.   I basically have been using my iCal to journal for my 3 small daughters - first tooth, hair cut, etc.   So I am desperate to get these events back so I can get them printed and SAFE.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to import my ics files?   The Apple Store Genius had me tryng to import the corestorage.ics files.   2 or 3 of those files showed they were trying to be imported for over 4 hours.   I finally Forced Quit iCal.   I've tried this several times and same result. 
    The corestorage files were under user/library/application support/ical/sources
    I now located the calendar events user/library/calendars/ then a bunch of coded files leading to the events.  These events appear to be the ones I am looking for as I can read some of the files.   I have several years I want to import back into my working iCal.  
    Please help if you know how!!!
    Thank you,
    Very Upset Mama of 3 little girls

    Thomas - You are awesome - THANK YOU!  
    I did exactly what you said (CAN"T believe an Apple Genius did not know this) and I think all of my events got restored.  
    However, it duplicated all of the calendars - I have 6 (one for each family member plus an extra called home that we all have to do).   Not sure if I did something wrong, but do you have any ideas?  
    Also, the time setting must be wrong b/c I have events from 2008 showing up in 2012 - same day and time as the old sessoin - just out dated.    Do I need to manually change all of this?   Should I delete the Calendars folder again and try again?  
    Also, I read some where about deleting a iCal cache file.   Do I need to do this?
    I TRULY appreciate you taking the time to help people in this forum.   I have spent hours the past two days trying to figure this out.   Plus, now I need to figure out about upgrading my Office for Mac b/c I didn't realize I lost Office 2004 when upgrading to Lion.   
    Thank you for your time and support!

  • Lost ical events with lion upgrade...how do I find them?

    Does anyone know how to get all ical events to appear in ical after a lion upgrade?

    This may not help but, I've reached a point where I'll backup everything before ANY kind of upgrade or update and I'll even have two sets of Time Machine backups. I guess you'll have to restore forgetting about the upgrade and retry after refreshing the backup on a SECOND drive, don't allow yur current backup to start a new session at all, you may loose it. Maybe too late, but I just saw this now. Good Luck!
