Unable to access published calendars
Posted: May 1, 2009 7:58 AM
 

When I try to access the web version of my published calendar I get the following message. "Page not found. Were sorry but we cannot find the iCal you've requested." This is the first time I've published calendars from my MacBook. I published calendars with out incident on my imac before. Has anyone had this problem?

Ams1069,

Welcome to Apple Discussions.

Are you publishing your calendar on MobileMe, or a Private Server?

Try to republish: Use the iCal>Calendar>Unpublish... menu command, followed by iCal>Calendar>Publish...

I have been having the same issue. I tried the unpublish and publish again option and still get the same error message. I am publishing to mobile me

I am experiencing the same issue. A calendar group has been successfully published for more than a year. Now, it is "not found" as cited above when accessed with a web browser. It can be subscribed to via the webcal://... protocol, so I know the data is out there on the a MobilMe server.
Interestingly, I also have a single calendar (as opposed to the group) published and it works OK.
So far, I have unpublished/republished the group several times, signed out of MobileMe and back in (in System Preferences), and deleted my calendar cache. No joy.

Any calendar with all day events corrupts the publication process regardless of whether the calendar is published individually or as part of a group. That is, I can publish a calendar and view it successfully in a browser. If I add an all day event, the browser returns a "not found."

I am also having the same error after publishing to MobileMe. I wonder if they are doing some server upgrades for the Snow Leopard upgrade and in the process have broken this functionality? I hope apple is aware of this problem.

All day events aren't affecting it for me. I wonder if its a server upgrade in preparation for Snow Leopard.

Well I can create new calendars and publish them and they work correctly on the web but I can't publish my main calendar. I tried renaming the calendar and various other changes and nothing worked.

I eventually reset my sync data on MobileMe and now my calendar doesn't work on the main website. I contacted apple and they say this is a known problem and that I have to wait seven+ days for a tech to resolve.

I guess the MobileMe nightmares are not over yet. When does the working version of MobileMe get released? :)

I worked with MobileMe support last week and here is a C&P of my e-mail from them I will share and it DOES work for me:

At the moment, our suggested work arounds are (you guessed it!) to use the iCal publish function in 32 bit or remove repeating/all day events. Of course, our engineers are working to get things on track for 64 bit and eliminate this bug.

Pick iCal in your apps folder and COMMAND+I to get info.
Click the box to run launch iCal in 32-bit mode.

I should be noted that the 32 bit fix does not work in all cases. I tried it, and it worked for a few days, and then for some reason stopped working. So, I would recommend checking the publish calendar regularly after you publish.

I'm sync'ing to my blackberry and having the same issue.
I'm not only having this issue with all-day events but with the birthday calendar as well. It just will not sync and the error says that it is "read-only."
Apple care refused to help because it is a blackberry and the mobile me chat folks were lost.
