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

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I can get iCal to auto-refresh if I leave it open. What I'm hoping for is to be able to write a script that opens up iCal, refreshes it immediately, and then closes it (so it isn't taking up additional memory). For some reason, the "reload calendars" applescript command doesn't seem to do this. I wonder if there would be a way to set up a script that opens up iCal, and then closes it 20 minutes later (guaranteeing that it would have time to refresh)? Maybe with a scriptable timer app. I'll try it out and see how it works. Quote:
BTW: Why not just use iCal rather than Google Cal? Just curious as to why one would use Google Cal if on a Mac. I have a Mac at home, but use Windows and Ubuntu boxes at work, so I've found the gMail & Google Cal combo priceless. » POSTED IN:
