Yahoo! Calendar and iCal with Caldav fails – a fix!
Over the last few weeks I’ve had odd errors with Yahoo! calendars and Caldav with Apple’s iCal on Snow Leopard. Sometimes it refuses to log in, sometimes it logs in but there are no calendars listed, and sometimes there are no appointment updates.
Three things seem to help:
- Deleting the calendar cache
- Deleting the iCal preferences
- Adding an appointment to Yahoo! Calendar with the web interface
The last one is interesting – I mainly use the Yahoo! calendar to access my family’s diary, which is only updated from mobile devices like an iPhone using Caldav. It seems that Yahoo! goes to sleep if the web interface isn’t used occasionally. Logging on from a browser and adding an appointment kicks it into life. You can delete the appointment afterwards…
