[SOLVED] New Calendar created in Web not available to sync

[CarlyJB]

I suspect this might be an Apple Sync Services issue, but I've created a new calendar via ZCS webclient and now I want to sync it to my iCal. It is not available in the list of calendars shown in the Zimbra Pref Pane to choose for syncing.

Anyone else have this issue? Did you find a fix?

You might have to reauthenticate to see the new calendar. The easiest way of doing that is to quit System Preferences, then restart it again and click on the Zimbra preference pane. Does it show up then?

No that doesn't do it. I created this new calendar a day or two ago, too.

[sculi2000]

Is this a shared calendar?

Scott

[CarlyJB]

Yes, it is shared to one other person in Zimbra. Should I unshare and try it?

[CarlyJB]

That did it. I unshared it, quite Sys Prefs and when I reopened Sys Prefs it was right there.

Does this qualify as a bug? It's kind of annoying.

[sculi2000]

:-) I'm pretty sure it qualifies as a bug. I just filled one out on this: <http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17755>

Take care,

Hey there. We've tried to reproduce the problem here without success. Could you explain in as much detail as possible what exactly was happening?

Thanks,

Scott

[CarlyJB]

Sure.

I was on another computer using the Zimbra webclient. I created a new calendar and immediately shared it to one other person. Later (about one day later), I went back to my iCal and opened the Zimbra Sys Prefs Pane to choose to sync that new calendar to my iCal (I do not sync all of my calendars to Zimbra, some of them are only in iCal and I sync them to .Mac). In looking at the list of possible calendar to share in the Zimbra prefs pane, the new calendar was not listed and thus not sync-able to iCal.

At your suggestion, I went into the web client and revoked the share rights to this other person. I closed and opened System Preferences. And the new calendar was suddenly in the list. Once I was able to select it for sync, I hit the Sync Now button in the prefs pane. While that was syncing, I went back into the webclient and re-shared the calendar to the person it was originally shared to.

I'm working on OS 10.4.9, MacBook Pro, iCal 2.0.5 (1069).

Should I try to reproduce it again? I could have another person here try to reproduce it. We are just rolling out Zimbra here and doing our user migration in August. So we are poking at it to find all the gotcha's.

thanks.

So after you reshared your calendar, the calendar still continues to show up in the preference pane?

Thanks,

Scott
