Sync "read-only" iCal calendars to iPhone

[spiVeyx]

I was frustrated to find that my "read-only" iCal calendars, such as my Holidays and Birthdays calendars, didn't sync up with my iPhone, so I created a simple AppleScript to copy these "read-only" calendars to a "writable" calendar, so they could be pushed to my iPhone through MobileMe. I thought others here might find it useful so I thought I'd go ahead and post it.

Before running the attached script please, please, PLEASE, backup your iCal database. I've tested the script pretty thoroughly myself, but I don't want to be responsible for data lost.

Feel free to post any bugs you find.

Enjoy!

Amazing!

I am new to this forum, and found it by a google search for a solution to the iCal subscription calendars not syncing to iPhone problem. Thanks so much for sharing this script! It worked like a charm!
Thanks again,
Keith

AMAZING... Thanks so much. This was exactly what Apple couldn't provide me!

"empty list"

Hey,
2 years later someone still has the same problem and finds your script. I don't know, pry it's because i'm running Lion, but the script tells me an error and something about an "empty list".
It is german, but translated it should be:
"iCal received an error: the list is empty"

any idea?
