    I have subscribed to my get it done calendar through my i-cal as described above but I can not add new appointments to it through my Mac. Is there a way to have one calendar and be able to add from both applications?
    Thanks

    Calendars can only be subscribed to which means that changes can only be made on the web app or iPhone and then those changes will be brought down to your calendar, you cannot make changes in the calendar and have then push back to the server.

    Hi I have followed the instructions above and can see the new GetitDone calendar in my ical sidebar. However, non of the items with due dates show up on their scheduled days.

    Is this the only way to get notification reminders of tasks? i.e when they are calendar events they will have alarms which will show up on my iphone. Also is there away to set times as well as dates?

    OSX 10.6.4 Ical 4.0.3

    Here is a good article on how you can subscribe to calendars on the iPhone, it says the easiest way is to email the webcal://getitdone link (found in the settings in the web app) to your phone and open the link on the phone.
