How to set default calendar to be a CalDAV one?

Same issue. Anyone?

I have the same issue here and I don't see anything new on 10.6 as I've recently upgraded with the same results. What I wind up doing is to accept the invitations on my iPhone (which does this correctly - go figure) and then "delete and don't notify" the invitation in iCal. Not a very good solution, but its all I've been able to come up with. BTW - its not just local calendars but also WebDAV subscribed calendars as well.

Same issue a response would be appreciated.

(I am responding with no solution to put back the thread on top.)

I've got the same issue ; anyone knows about an Apple support ticket about that ? Should we launch one ?

Same issue here.

Me too post. Any action on this one?

I hope Apple reads these boards. Yes it would be nice to have this feature as well. Not to mention a real iPhone Calendar app that syncs with edit and a to do list. These are must haves.

I seems that CalDAV accounts can sync with the iPhone, but in my case they are not editable on the iPhone.
Can't believe that Apple isn't taking care of a functional iCal app on the iPhone!!!

Bump.

Isn't this ridiculous? How can people actually use iCal in a professional work environment with these issues?

Sometimes events get automatically attached to my mobile me calendar instead of my work's Exchange 2007 calendar, and then I'm not able to edit the calendar that the event is attached to. GRRRR!

Hi, and welcome to you here stranger,

It would be great if everybody who experiences the need for some type of preferences settings of what calendar to use as default, would send an improvement request to Apple:

I have no use for the "local" calendars, so I just delete them.

Our CalDAV server gives everyone a calendar called Calendar, and once the "On My Mac" calendars are gone, Calendar becomes the default for accepted meeting requests, even if there are other CalDAV calendars in the user's account. I don't know how iCal determines this. Could be alphabetical precedence (in which case I've been lucky), the order the calendars were created, some hidden flag that defines the default, something the CalDAV server itself is doing, etc.

About the last, we use Zimbra, which has a preference to automatically place invitations on your default calendar in a tentative state. So possibly iCal just "goes with the flow" when you accept the invitation in the Notification Panel. YMMV with other CalDAV servers.

I have the same issue and given up looking for a solution. Instead, I have created the following script in my /users/ username/Library/Scripts/Applications/iCal folder:

tell application "iCal"
set allEvents to events of calendar "+Local Calendar+"
repeat with theEvent in allEvents
copy theEvent to end of events of calendar " Calendar"
delete theEvent
end repeat
end tell
display dialog "Move Process finished" buttons "OK" default button "OK"

whereas "Local Calendar" is the name of the local calendar and "Calendar" the name of the Exchange 2007 calendar folder.

(The workaround is not from me, I copied it from http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11154573)

When working in iCal, I call the script whenever I feel like it from the Scripts menu.
