Publishing Calendar 'Upload Failed'

[Diane Poremsky [MVP]]

Viewing the calendars online is ending, not publishing. The people you share
with will need to use outlook or similar app to view the calendar (once they
fix the problems with publishing).

You are correct - only the ability to view and manage the calendars in a
browser is ending. AFAIK, this will happen closer to the release of office
2010.

"Publishing calendars online and subscribing to them do not change. You can
still publish and subscribe to calendars through Microsoft Office Outlook
2007. You can subscribe to published calendars if you use a program using
the WebCal protocol, such as Outlook, Windows Live Calendar, Google
Calendar, or Apple iCal. Calendar updates are sent through Outlook as
before, and subscribers download updates just as they do today.

The discontinuation of the online tools means you can no longer preview,
edit or remove published calendars by using your Web browser. To preview a
published calendar with a Web browser, you must subscribe to the calendar
using a service like Windows Live Calendar. To change or delete a calendar,
you must use Outlook. "

Oh I see. Well, from what I can see having read the site, Microsoft have
shut down all published calendars from Outlook 2007 to their servers so
that
is that. I hope I am wrong but that is what I read there.- Hide quoted

Thank you... Where/what did you read about Microsoft shutting down
published calendars?

The following link describes that the preview feature will be
disabled... but not publishing.

OK sorry my mistake. I misread that. I read it as "discontinued".

Hello Guys,
This is Mark, I appreciate all the info on this issue. I've used the google
sync option for viewing/editing purposes due to lack of email accts from our
proider. It helped but my question is can I download it to my outlook so I
can view calendar or send it to other staff members so they can view or it.
Or do I have to login my google acct and view staff members calendars? Also,
when will the publishing part be fixed, time frame anyone?

Thanks,
Mark Arellano

Yeah, this is not the first time there have been issues. It's fine for home
use - for sharing with family - but if calendar sharing is critical to
business, I'd either go with a hosting account that has guaranteed uptime or
set up IIS on the internal network.

I don't think you can publish to gmail using outlook - you can sync the
gmail calendar to outlook and share the gmail calendar though. Syncing
gmail calendar with multiple copies of outlook is not recommended - you risk
losing data.

I haven't checked too deeply with other hosting services - I have a cheap
godaddy hosting account but it doesn't appear to have webdav enabled.

Diane,
Thanks for the time you spend working on all this with us...
I have the same problem with several computers. It used to work fine but
now for the last couple of weeks it doesn't... You have mentioned the
server
may be flukey.... but as I scan back into 2/2008 messages I noticed there
were server problems noted as now... frankly I'm spending more time
attempting to find if the problem is on my side or Microsoft's than I can
posting calendars.
Is there a way for us to use Google Calendar as the server? It works
fine.
Thanks for your efforts...

If everyone is on the same network, you may be able to set up a webdav
server on a desktop in the network. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/publishcal.htm.

If you need internet access to the calendar, you'll need web server that
supports webdav. I use Intermedia.net to host our websites (on windows
2008)
and can publish my calendar to it, but any host that supports webdav
should
work.

No time frame on a fix for publishing.

gmail supports ical - you go into calendar details and get the ical url to
give out to others.

Try this workaround - its supposed to work (but isn't working for me).
Go to office.com and sign in with the same Live ID you use to publish your
calendar and select "Save my e-mail address and password", Outlook should
work just fine after restarting to publish or update a subscribed calendar
again, until you sign out of Office Online and/or LiveID.

You actually CAN "sync" of a sort to Google. You have to keep uploading
the ICS every time you change it - at least that is how I read their
report on it.

I tell you though, it really gets me. I have been relying on uploading my
working calendar from my work laptop to the Microsoft online calendar
thing and then I had been subscribed to it at home where I couldn't alter
it, only look at it which was just fine. I need to know what is going on
at home, in my calendar. Now I cant do that.

The only alternative I can see is to get something like exchange or find a
hosting account SOMEWHERE that will allow ics to sync. I don't know of
such a place, though, if someone else does.

I also just found this on a search. http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/
which is a free app to sync icalendar between Google and your computer.
Haven't tried it yet. Hope it works.

This workaround didn't work for me, but I got something else to work
by trial and error. But please read this to the end, because while my
solution worked, I did also accidentally delete my future calendar
items.

The windows live id I was using for publishing my calendars was not
affiliated with an @hotmail.com/@live.com email account. I think
that's going to be a requirement in the future because they want you
pushed to their online email access services.

So I created a new windows live account with a @live.com handle. I
then went to account settings in Outlook for published calendars and
clicked "change account". Followed the process to get rid of the old
and set up the new. Republished my calendars.

This seems to have worked. However, I did manage to accidentally
delete all of my future calendar items. I'm not sure if that was due
to the way I did this, or something else I tried in the last few weeks
of frustrations.

 

[Diane Poremsky [MVP]]

I'm publishing it with a non-live address for the passport/live id. I'm
guessing that something you did deleted the cookie (or something else) that
was interfering with the authentication.

I know from past experience that saving the liveid password is bad and it
can affect the ability to log into sites so I never save it. Your problem
and my initial problem publishing was probably due to something along this
line.

Are you saying that publishing to Microsoft Online for calendars is now
working? I still cant get it to work. When I clicked change account, in days
gone by, it allowed me to upload the calendar ONCE ONLY and never again.
Also, I never do save the password, either. I was expecting that they would
fix the problem and all be OK again. Are you saying it isn't the case now?

If you want a real simple solution that works but manually:

1) Find somewhere where you can store the calendar. I will assume that you
want to store it so that it can be accessed by more than one location so I
will say "somewhere online such as a Gmail account, your own domain etc" but
somewhere where you can put it without a link pointing to it. Eg, if your
domain is www.thisismydomain.com then try making a dir of some name you like
such as mycal for example and store your .ics there, under
www.thisismydomain.com/mycal and don't link it. This requires the computer
with the calendar that has the pertinent details to have you save the
calendar then upload it to your preferred online spot.

2) Use the other computer where you will view but not change the calendar to
SUBSCRIBE to where you put the .ics file. Now both computers (or more than
one) have that calendar available to them.

The only real drawback to this is that the computer with the real calendar
on it that gets changed will have to have someone periodically save the
entire calendar and upload it. You can make it easier for people to do that
FOR you by creating a "Network Location" under the Computer icon and signing
in to it, saving the password etc and show someone how easy it is to save
the calendar and then how normal it is to copy and paste it to the network
location, which is the spot on internet (assuming you control your own
domain that is).

Until this problem is sorted out at Microsoft, that is the only option that
is worth it for single users with one or more remote location subscribers
IMHO. I have looked at the other options and they do work (IwebCal under
Joomla, for example, works to a point but doesn't show the calendar nicely
at all!) but they take a lot of setting up, a lot of mucking around and they
don't always come out the way you want. This way does.

Hello Guys,
This is Mark, I appreciate all the info on this issue. I've used the
google
sync option for viewing/editing purposes due to lack of email accts from
our
proider. It helped but my question is can I download it to my outlook so I
can view calendar or send it to other staff members so they can view or
it.
Or do I have to login my google acct and view staff members calendars?
Also,
when will the publishing part be fixed, time frame anyone?

Thanks,
Mark Arellano

Yeah, this is not the first time there have been issues. It's fine for
home
use - for sharing with family - but if calendar sharing is critical to
business, I'd either go with a hosting account that has guaranteed uptime
or
set up IIS on the internal network.

I don't think you can publish to gmail using outlook - you can sync the
gmail calendar to outlook and share the gmail calendar though. Syncing
gmail calendar with multiple copies of outlook is not recommended - you
risk
losing data.

I haven't checked too deeply with other hosting services - I have a cheap
godaddy hosting account but it doesn't appear to have webdav enabled.

Diane,
Thanks for the time you spend working on all this with us...
I have the same problem with several computers. It used to work fine
but
now for the last couple of weeks it doesn't... You have mentioned the
server
may be flukey.... but as I scan back into 2/2008 messages I noticed
there
were server problems noted as now... frankly I'm spending more time
attempting to find if the problem is on my side or Microsoft's than I
can
posting calendars.
Is there a way for us to use Google Calendar as the server? It works
fine.
Thanks for your efforts...

If everyone is on the same network, you may be able to set up a webdav
server on a desktop in the network. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/publishcal.htm.

If you need internet access to the calendar, you'll need web server
that
supports webdav. I use Intermedia.net to host our websites (on windows
2008)
and can publish my calendar to it, but any host that supports webdav
should
work.

How correct is it when published there? I have used IWebCal under Joomla
that is supposed to support ICS and it comes out terribly. Not worth the
trouble IMHO.

No time frame on a fix for publishing.

gmail supports ical - you go into calendar details and get the ical url to
give out to others.

The authentication is still broken (last I checked) but it is possible to
fake it out by logging into office.com and saving the liveid/password.

Are you saying that publishing to Microsoft Online for calendars is now
working? I still cant get it to work. When I clicked change account, in
days gone by, it allowed me to upload the calendar ONCE ONLY and never
again. Also, I never do save the password, either. I was expecting that
they would fix the problem and all be OK again. Are you saying it isn't
the case now?

I'm publishing it with a non-live address for the passport/live id. I'm
guessing that something you did deleted the cookie (or something else)
that was interfering with the authentication.

I know from past experience that saving the liveid password is bad and it
can affect the ability to log into sites so I never save it. Your problem
and my initial problem publishing was probably due to something along
this line.

This workaround didn't work for me, but I got something else to work
by trial and error. But please read this to the end, because while my
solution worked, I did also accidentally delete my future calendar
items.

The windows live id I was using for publishing my calendars was not
affiliated with an @hotmail.com/@live.com email account. I think
that's going to be a requirement in the future because they want you
pushed to their online email access services.

So I created a new windows live account with a @live.com handle. I
then went to account settings in Outlook for published calendars and
clicked "change account". Followed the process to get rid of the old
and set up the new. Republished my calendars.

This seems to have worked. However, I did manage to accidentally
delete all of my future calendar items. I'm not sure if that was due
to the way I did this, or something else I tried in the last few weeks
of frustrations.

This happens any time I attempt to publish my calendar from Outlook
2007 to Office Online. I have tried deleting the calenard in my

I have tried logging into live.com and saving my password.

But... This did not completely solve my problem. The first work
around (which involves saving the username and password on office
online) did not work for me.

Deleting the calendar and republishing, did let me publish the
calendar. The essential step was step 9 which went through the
"Change Account" option

BUT: Now I cannot subscribe to the calendar.

When I attempt to subscribe to the calendar I get the following error:

Cannot verify or add the calendar to outlook. Make sure the
following link is a valid calendar link:


The link is the link that was sent with the publish of the calendar
(that I had just performed)
