I have added icloud calendar to Lightning as type ics. I have made the icloud calendar sharable privately and copied the URL into lightning. New icloud calendar entries show in Lightning. I have added an account for icloud email address into Thunderbird and that will send and receive emails OK. I have added the email address into the icloud calendar properties in Lightning. But when I add an entry to icloud calendar in Lightning I get the error: "This webpage is being redirected to a new location. Would you like the form data to be resent to this new location" Click OK and get: "An error occurred writing to the calendar icloud " with details: MODIFICATION_FAILED

This is with Lightning 3.3 and Thunderbird 31.1.1

I have looked around the net for recent problems/fixes/instructions but I haven't found anything that gets me past this. Any hints/fixes gratefully received. Rod

So nobody else has this problem? Is there anyone out there that has Lightning calendar to icloud calendar working? If so, can they tell me what definitions they used, please. Pretty please. Rod

OK I have some more info, mainly from a Harvard article at: http://computing.physics.harvard.edu/icloud which states that for one-way synch fro icloud to Lightning use ICS, but for two-way use caldav.

I have added a caldav calendar to Lightning but it doesn't work, saying the calendar is "momentarily unavailable". If I synch, all entries in Lightning are blanked, even my non-icloud ones, and I have to close and restart Thunderbird to display them again. I will test some more, but anyone else get past this point?

Thanks for the suggestion, Matt, but the blog is very old and things have moved on in both Thunderbird/Lightning and icloud since then.

I hope to have time to test some more this weekend.

The calendar often just changes to read only, and no way to change that back. how come? add or change entry in calendar in lightning, and there is error message. calendar is changed to read only, changing that back does not help.

seems to me lightning is not (always) able to write to xxxx.ics file on URL.

jaapsoft, as I discovered from the Harvard site I listed above, ICS is in one direction only. To get 2-way with updates from Lightning, you have to use CALDAV. The Harvard page explains how to define it, but I haven't got that to work yet either (but I still need time to test further). Rod
