Sync subscribed iCal calendars to MobileMe via script
Authored by: JackSloth on Sep 17, '08 10:00:04AM

Thank you so much. This really helped me.

I have a shared calendar with my wife using the calendaring feature on Leopard server. After spending months getting that to just work, imagine how upset I was to find it wouldn't sync with my iPhone. So this script really helped.

In iCal I created a group. In there I created a new calendar just for running scripts. It runs your script nightly. I also put the new duped calendar in this group. I then hid the group so I don't have to see the script alarm or any duplicated events. MobileMe syncs it to my iPhone.

Great!

Just to update my last post.

The one problem with using iCal to run the script is that you then get a clutter of script trigger events on your iPhone (if you are using Push with MobileMe). Unfortunately, MobileMe doesn't allow you to deselect calendars in the syncing process.

What I did was delete the script calendar. So what I am going to try is a Preference Pane Utility callled "Do Something When" http://www.azarhi.com/Projects/DSW/index.php It will launch programs or open files when something happens. So you can set it to launch the script when iCal opens. I have two calendars that I am duplicating. I therefore have twoscripts. I set up this Preference Pane launch each script at launch and quit of iCal. I have to open iCal to make a change to the calendar right? I set one of the scripts to run after a 180 second delay so they aren't running at the same time.
