Isn't the icon copyrighted?

Here's a disclaimer from the image page.

{{Non-free logo}} (see the actual template) I don't know whether icons go into the logo category though. {{Non-free computer icon}} might be a good thing to make, I'll try to find the right place to suggest it. --Kryptknight 18:25, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Other iCal capable clients?

edit

Might it be a good idea to include a section detailing other iCalendar-/vCal-capable clients such as Mozilla Calendar, Mozilla Sunbird and Microsoft Outlook? I have an iCal subscription link for the calendar on my site, but there doesn't seem to be a central location to which I can point my users for information on how to use the link. Mac users mostly know what iCal is, but Windows users don't often know their options for calendar subscription software.

I suppose I could write such a section myself, but I know very little about the available clients and their advantages and disadvantages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.177.101.69 (talkcontribs) 12:31 UTC, 24 October 2005

There is now a List of applications with iCalendar support page. I don't know why it was created separate from this article. --Jerome Potts (talk) 22:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Version 2 screenshot posted

edit

I've uploaded a screenshot of iCal 2.03. If nobody objects, it might be useful to have a shot of the current version in the article.

Fair use rationale for Image:ICal Icon.png

edit
 

Image:ICal Icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

iCal is not really a special application

edit

It is true that iCal has been developed in Paris, by a team started by Jean-Marie Hullot. However, it's not the only software component developed in Paris team. The article might let people think iCal is not really an apple-developed application, which is not true. The Paris team, started in April 2001 developed iCal, iSync and the Sync Services among other things. Guiheneuf 08:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

iCalendar

edit

So, this article mentions iCalendar only in the disambiguation prologue and in the "See also" section, without even specifying whether iCal is iCalendar-compatible?

Year Range?

edit

What years does iCal span from? I know it starts at January of Year 1, but how high does it go? Does anyone know? (Yes, it does go beyond the year 3000; thats just the latest date you can jump to) --66.94.154.5 (talk) 03:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Bugs ?

edit

Should the google calender bug be documented or referred to on the iCal page, as this is a time sensitive referral? This issue may be fixed in 2 days (or 2 weeks), I do not see the relevancy of a referral to a (common) bug in a specific iCal version for the iCal page.

Incorrect name of article

edit

It is incorrect that this article is named "Calendar (application)" when it is about a specific calendar program by Apple. There are thousands of calendar applications, Google Calendar for example, and calendar applications that are part of other applications such as Microsoft Outlook. An article named "Calendar (application)" should be about the general concept, not a specific program. RenniePet (talk) 12:38, 16 July 2013 (UTC) RenniePet (talk) 12:51, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Fixed a while ago; Calendar (application) redirects to Calendaring software, and this page is now Calendar (Apple). Guy Harris (talk) 21:09, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Calendar (Mac OS)Calendar (OS X) – OS X is the current name for the operating system, and it's well-known. Mac OS might be appropriate if this was an app that remained from 'classic' Mac OS, but it's not: it only ever ran on OS X. Blythwood (talk) 02:52, 9 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

– OS X is the current name for the operating system: it's well-known and what most users will be looking for. Naming these applications as Mac OS applications is misleading: besides the fact that Apple hasn't used that term in a long time, none of these applications actually ever ran under Classic Mac OS: all arrived during the OS X period. --Relisted.innotata 02:55, 23 September 2014 (UTC) Blythwood (talk) 10:47, 9 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

– The subjects of these Apple related pages are all available for both OS X and iOS, and it is silly to call them by Mac OS. The titles as they currently stand are outright misleading and broken. It seems obvious to rename them to (application), much like Reminders (application) is named. I recently created Photos (application), another application available for both platforms, and named it to (application) for consistency. Thank you.

An article was recently created for the calendar application in Microsoft Windows called Calendar (Windows). These changes would be helpful in distinguishing between the respective Mac and PC apps. Such a set of conventions is used for Mail. For instance:

Can we do the same for the calendar? Thanks, Onecatowner (talk) 22:09, 29 July 2016‎ (UTC)Reply

Terminally awkward software

edit

As a software developer and a Macintosh owner since 1983, I can say that the Mac Calendar program is among the most awkward, poorly programmed Mac software I have ever used.

It would be useful for the article to address the many, many, many shortcomings of this software. 2601:200:C000:1A0:2962:498:BF95:B091 (talk) 16:02, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
