ical subscriptions error message "Cannot Subscribe"

I'm right there with you. Not sure what the issue is. I even tried an arbitrary subscription I got off Apple's web site to see. That won't work either.

I've not seen many issues about this so I wonder if it's a setting on the iPhone's Calendar preferences. I'll follow up here if I find out anything or get it resolved.

Well I got one to work. It was a subscription to a CalDAV calendar for Weather Underground (daily weather report). It began with http:// instead of webcal://. Thought that might be the issue, so I changed it on one of my problem subscriptions...didn't work.

So back to square one on why this is happening. Now I've got a 2nd question...how do you get rid of subscribed calendars on your iPhone??

I am also having a problem subscribing. My webcal link is from an office online calendar and starts with something like this : "webcal://calendars.office.microsoft.com/pubcalstorage"

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I need to sign in to my windows live account to authenticate. Because I don't seem to have a problem subscribing to other random public calendars, just my own specific one which require sign in. ANy thoughts?

That's a strong possibility. I guess the best way to test that theory is to see if you can subscribe via an online site like Google Calendar without authenticating.

In getting the answer to my removal question from a poster, I discovered another method to add subscribed calendars, one that includes authentication settings.

If you go to your Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Accounts, click on the Add Account... option. Then select Other at the bottom. You'll next see a screen that includes Add Subscribed Calendar. Once you enter your subscribed calendar's address, the next screen will ask if you have any authentication information required.

Hopefully, this will allow you to get onto your calendar.
