ICS and Calendar Woes

I'm having a bit of a problem with ICS files, Mac Calendar and iCloud. Some may be related to TB, some may be internal settings on the OS.

The biggest issue is when I get an .ICS attachement. I have lightening installed, so I'm able to get the file to open in Mac Calendar, but two things happen. TB also downloads the ics file and TB opens a new tab when I click on the ICS file (that just "loads" with nothing happening.

The second issue is when I accept an invite from anything but icloud, lightening shows the invite as accepted, but Apple Calendar shows the invite as unaccepted and icloud doesn't show any event at all.

Lastly, when I get an icloud created invite, accepting leads me to icloud.com (vs. Mail app which opens calendar). Is there a way to change this behavior.

My apologies for all the questions. I'm REALLY trying to make the move from Mail to TB, but keep running into road block (like this) that are really important my scheduling/email workflow.

Using OS X 10.9.1 and TB 24.3.0

this calendar issue.... have you added your icloud calendar to lightning as a cal dav synchronized calendar, or did you simply import the ICS file and open a duplicate that is not linked to anything else so works as a stand alone.

The harvard site has some useful information on caldav for icloud.

As far as lightning is concerned, do not ise ICS unless you looking for a stand alone solution and you are not.

So File menu (Alt+F) > new > calendar > network > caldav is the route to take.
