Help with iCal

Scripting Forums Automator
#1

Hi,
I am new to both applescript and automator but not new to programming. My problem is this:
I am trying to work with iCal and Google calendar. I can subscribe to my google calendar via the private URL all my Google calendar appointments/events will be populated in iCal. This allows me to enter things while away from home. My problem is that the google events come in ‘read only’ and with no alert. I would prefer to have these events moved to say my ‘Home’ calendar and add an alert. Is this something that automator can do, and if so can you point me in the right direction, or should I try Applescript?

I take it you’re using a PC (Windows) at work? Otherwise I’d suggest syncing your iCal calendar using www.icalexchange.com. This website allows you to create a logon name and both public and private calendars. You can then sync your calendar from home or work.

If you can find a Windows program that uses iCal format (there are some, but I’m not familiar with which ones), you could still use this method. It’s easier to use the built-in method (syncing) than to cobble together one in Applescript or Automator.
