Refresh subscribed iCal calendars?
NurseGirl | Oct 17 2006
Hey, I've got a Google Calendar that I use for all of my calendaring needs. I have subscribed to my GCalendar with iCal (1.5.5 -- I still have Panther) in order to sync the calendar to my iPod. Unfortunately, unless I open and refresh my calendar every day, it doesn't seem to refresh the subscription on it's own. I've tried the following applescript, but it's just opened iCal without refreshing my subscribed calendars. Any suggestions? tell application "iCal" launch reload calendars end tell Thanks so much for any advice/assistance! 11 Comments

I have a Mac at home, but use Windows and Ubuntu boxes at work, so I've found the gMail & Google Cal combo priceless. You are right, they are "priceless". Man (I mean Girl), all that work for nothing? I'd just leave iCal running. Mine uses .3 to .4 % of CPU and very little memory sitting in the background. Launch Activity Monitor to see what yours does. There are apps that will run and quit iCal, and probably a script that will "refresh" (command-R), but seems like trying to crack a nut with a sledge hammer. Why not just launch iCal and refresh when syncing the iPod. Actually, this should just happen when syncing (are you listening Apple?). If you had a .Mac account the whole thing might be even easier, and you could sync while at work as well, if you left your Mac running. The possibilities... Good luck. I don't script. » POSTED IN:
