In Panther, it was easy; iCal pulled its calendar data from ~/Library/Calendars/. This changes in Tiger, and if you want to use your old calendars (and don’t use the Migration Assistant) you’ll need to import them. But where does it store them in Tiger? iCal now has its own folder in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/, but it’s not simple to use the .ics files anymore.
In Panther, I could just copy the .ics file into something like PHPiCalendar. Now, every calendar has its own secret-code folder, named something like 8CDEFCBC-2373-4D3F-A02C-008EAA860B91.calendar. Within each of those is a corestorage.ics file, along with additional support files. You’ll have to export the calendar from iCal if you don’t feel like guessing which .ics file is the right one.
