FB no longer has an export events link to grab the iCal address. Very sad. Someone should make them bring it back.

This fix works with Mac OS X only until the next restart. And in the meantime, all your HTML docs turn into URLs and open in a browser, not Dreamweaver.

Adobe has a lot of work to do…

Bryan: I’ve got an event on Nov. 24 showing up, so that can’t be the problem.

All the other settings should be left at the default (no username/password, SSL off, Remove Alarms off).

All this being said, I’ve been having issues with my Facebook events not syncing with my Google Calendar lately. I’m wondering if there may be an issue with Facebook’s calendar feeds.

Yeah, even checked the Facebook calendar by itself and nothing. My next event isn’t until 10/16. Does it only sync events within a certain time period?

Is there anything in the settings I should change from the the default? Username/password, SSL, alarms?

Bryan: Not sure what to tell you. I just tried it on my own device and it seems to be working fine. Can you confirm you are in the “All Calendars” view on your phone?

This seems very straight forward so I can’t see what I’m doing wrong.

I am doing exactly as described. I e-mailed the link from Facebook (Export Events) to myself, copied the link on my iPhone and pasted it in the server box under “Subscribed Calendars” in settings but the events do not appear on my iPhone calendar.

I notice the link doesn’t end in *.ICS but when I try to open the link in my browser it resolves to a *.ICS file. Am I supposed to be using the link resolving in the *.ICS file somehow?

Found a solution here for Ubuntu users with Air applications:
