Create a shared calendar either from new or adapt an existing

Please forgive me if I have got the terminology wrong but
I would like to create a new / adjust a current calendar so that my wife and I can have a shared calendar
We both have an iphone4 and we have an imac at home.
I have got us both signed up to using the iCloud and iCal.
I would like to do this as we are about to embark on a 4 month building project at home and want to be able to have a shared location for events that are happening regarding that so we can 1 tell each other and 2 have it written down in a shared place.
Can anyone help please.

Though you don't say so, I assume that you have different iCloud accounts? In this case, one of you should share the calendar privately, giving it write privileges, and the other can subscribe to it. Please see this page:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
and expand 'Share a private calendar or reminder list with specific people'.
(If you are both using the same account you need do nothing - all your calendars under 'iCloud' will be synced to both of you.)

  • Can I create a shared calendar on iCal from the New iPad?

    My company just gave out iPads for use to all field employees. My coworkers and I currently have an Outlook shared calendar that we utilize for scheduling our work. We can not access the shared calendars on our iPads, therefore I would like to create a shared calendar in iCal that we can all access for sharing our schedule as we were doing on Outlook. Is this possible?
    NOTE: The idea is that I would like to use the iPad as the sole resource, instead of carrying our laptops around just to access the shared outlook calendar/schedule. The laptops are outdated junk that requires roughly 20 mins of time just to power up, connect and sign in to our servers...very inefficient.
    Thank you!

    I have a bluetooth 2 keyboard from Brookstone, will it work with the iPad?

  • How do I create a shared calendar over multiple phones

    I wanted to create a shared calendar for my wife's and my iPhone.  That way we can sync work events.  Anyway I can do this with iCal or do I need to find a different app?

    Hey scwalters101,
    You can create a shared calendar and use the iPhone's Calendar application for viewing, creating and changing it. In order to do so you also need a calendaring service. Many are available, including Apple's iCloud. See this page for information about iCloud calendars -
    iCloud: Calendar overview
    This article explains how to manage your iCloud calendar with the Calendar application -

  • Not getting shared calendar notifications on new MacBook Pro

    Once I got a new MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB flash storage) and transferred my data from my old MacBook, I stopped getting notifications of changes made to shared calendars owned by someone else. (Changes made by others to shared calendars that I own still generate notifications.)
    In iCloud preferences, Calendars is checked.
    Calendar is in my Notification Center, and its notifications are set as alerts.
    In Calendar preferences, "Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center" is not checked.
    In Info for individual shared calendars, "Ignore alerts" is not checked.
    I removed one of the shared calendars, then its owner resent an invitation to it, and I accepted. It didn't help; I still did not receive notifications.

    This is very strange, but yesterday, weeks after I set up my new machine and found this problem, I started getting shared calendar notifications again out of the blue. I have no explanation.

  • How to add new network adapter to existing hyper-v server

    hello guys
    now we have win2k8 r2 with installed hyper-v role.
    we had a network adapter with 4 ports and these 4 NICs was installed before adding hyper-v role so we select the these 4 NICs when installing the hyper-v role as usual.
    after that, we add other new network adapter with 4 NICs.
    the problem that we can't see the new 4 NICs in hyper-v manager to create external connection.
    any suggestions ??

    Hi eng.magdy87,
    Please ensure that the new NIC works properly .
    I mean that you can try to set IP for that NIC to check if it works .
    By the way , I added a new NIC for my hyper-v host (2008R2 ) and I can select it in virtual machine manager .

  • Opening links in new tab will not load pages either from new link or bookmarked pages after firefox 3.6 update

    After updating my fire fox to 3.6.3 I now cannot click on links into a new tab it will just open a blank tab, after hitting refresh, nothing happens. But when clicking bookmark link it will open in new tab as wanted but will not load unless I re-click it a second time. Clicking links normally will load page. Entering a URL like www.yahoo.com will not load either. To get to this page I had to a search engine like yahoo and type in fire fox website and it from there.

  • Importing shared calendar with all posted items

    We have a shared calendar with all our area events, which exists in my account, but now we wish - as a matter of urgency - to export this (with all its posted events) to a generic account, which can be updated by a few named employees - and not be tied to one user's account. Unfortunately, when I import the ics file into the generic account it appears with no contents. It seems that I will have to create a new blank calendar in the generic account, and share it's contents with all my colleagues again. Please can anyone confirm if this is so, or explain what I need to do to make it happen.
    Thank you,
    Ted.

    Aplogies. I have finally worked this out. Since I am the owner of the shared area calendar, only I have the right to add, edit or delete calendar items, but can allow those rights to other accounts. To move all calendar items, as advised, I shared the calendar (right-click on calendar in folder list, and select "Sharing") with the generic account by entering that account in the Name box, clicking the "Add User" button. Then I selected the account, now in the list of shared accounts, ticked the add, edit and, crucially, the delete box. The latter enabled me to move items from one calendar to another in the generic account, after setting the properties of both to detail view. One thing that can't be done is transfer the shared-with list, so I guess I'll need to re-share with all area staff. Thanks Danita. I got there in the end!

  • Shared Calendar Event Notifications

    My wife and I are both using the new iPhone 6 and utilize iCloud to share our Family calendar.  I am the owner on the account and I share it with both her and my daughter.  My wife is set to view and edit the calendar, where my daughter is set only to view.  When I make a change or addition to the calendar, either from my phone, iPad, or PC, my wife does not get a notification of the activity.  When she makes a change or addition, I do get a notification.  I get a pop up notification, as well as a message in my calendar in box.  I checked both phones against each other last night and they are set up exactly the same as far as shared calendar notifications and other settings through the settings menu.  Any ideas on where else I can check.  I would like for her to receive the same notifications I get.
    Thanks!

    as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
    snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events? (there is a screenshot as well):
    to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

  • Outlook10 shared calendars, color coding does not work

    I've read several discussions, questions and answers here and tried a lot, but the problem does not seem to go away.
    I created a calendar with Outlook10, added some color categories for the appointments and shared the calendar with several people. Nobody sees the colors on their computers (it's all green), as if the color categories were personal and for my use only. I
    tried to "import color categories" in the data file properties and I set the categories' names as default after erranously changing them (Purple, Red etc etc.) when that didn't do any good, but NO, I'm still the only one seeing in color.
    Help?

    Hi,
    In order to see the configured Color Categories, the mailbox owner needs to assign you at least “Reviewer” permissions. This includes the “Full Details” read permission which is required for displaying Color Categories. Please make sure the Calendar permission
    is configured correctly.
    Additionally, I noticed that the shared calendar is a new created calendar in your mailbox instead of the main calendar. When an additional Calendar folder exists within the same mailbox and you only want to share this folder, setting the Reviewer
    permission on that Calendar folder will not reveal the Color Categories in that Calendar. Once the Reviewer permission has been set on the main Calendar folder, the Color Categories will be shown in both Calendar folders. For more information about it, please

  • Outlook Connector and shared calendar

    Hi.
    Looking for some help troubleshooting an issue with shared calendar functionality from Outlook using the Connector.
    All server bits are JES-R2. Connector version is 6.0.129.
    Connector is working for the most part, but when I try to subscribe to another users calendar from Outlook it is failing. Even when I do a search, and pick the user from the list, the lookup fails to return the user and I get "User not found. Either enter the email id of the user OR click on Search and then click Find to locate the user."
    The ldap search I'm seeing in the access logs is curious in the sense that it seems to binding with dn="".
    [23/Jun/2004:15:18:54 -0400] conn=346 op=0 msgId=1 - BIND dn="" method=128 versi
    on=2
    [23/Jun/2004:15:18:54 -0400] conn=346 op=0 msgId=1 - RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentrie
    s=0 etime=0 dn=""
    [23/Jun/2004:15:18:54 -0400] conn=346 op=1 msgId=2 - SRCH base="o=msgdemo.isdint

    [23/Jun/2004:15:18:55 -0400] conn=346 op=-1 msgId=-1 - closed.
    This is returning 0 entries, and I believe this is why it is failing. I believe the connector is probably using this search to retrieve the users calendar_id.
    If I type the uid into the dialog box (to subscribe) I get this in the ldap:
    ===============================================================

    This time, it has a proper uid (not a mail address) but still returns 0 entries.

    If someone is still following this thread:
    The problem seems to stem from the fact that the subscribe to calendar function from the connector (outlook) is searching ldap on uid, but using an email address as a value:

  • 2013 Shared Calendar Notifications for Calendar Owner

    Hello:
    Previously in Outlook 2010, I was able to create a shared calendar that would notify me when someone made an appointment on that calendar because I was the owner.  I'm trying to mimic that scenario, but I'm having a hard time being notified of new entries.
     How can I achieve this?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Which notification did you get in Outlook 2010 when someone made an appointment on the shared calendar?
    As far as I know, we are not able to monitor message change on mailbox folder including calendar folder.
    Exchange 2010 introduces new mailbox audit logging functionality that can track actions taken on mailbox items such as moving or deleting a message. For details, see Audit Logging Improvements at
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff459257.aspx.
    However, it is a log record but not a notification message, the mailbox audit cannot notify you if there is a change unless you check the log.
    If you really want a notification, maybe we can achieve this via VBA. If you are familiar with coding, you can check and modify the code sample here:
    http://www.slipstick.com/developer/send-email-when-you-add-appointment-to-calendar/
    Since we are not the best source for coding, if you need further assistance on coding, you can post a question in the Outlook for Developers forum:

  • Uwc shared calendar problem

    Hi,
    We are having problem for the shared calendar subscription from UWC. Our users can subscribe to the shared calendar But when they try to edit or add an event on shared calendar through UWC ONLY, it gives error permission denied. Though the subsribers have full permissions.... On the other hand if users try do the same thing by Calendar express, they can add, edit modify the shared calendar entries.....
    here below is the UWC webserver logs:

  • Groupwise Shared Calendars

    Hi,
    Our one Elementary School Principal created a shared calendar for the building and shared it with her staff. Since the school year ended a week ago, she was not going to use it anymore so she deleted it. Now the users are getting tons of emails in their mailbox saying that the calendar has been deleted. I know they should get one email saying this but they are getting a lot. The one user says shes gets 20 of them and deletes them and then a little bit later gets 20 more. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I just ran a Structure and contents check on a few of the users. I am not sure if that will help or not.
    Thank,

    Hello,
    Not sure if anyone has any ideas on this but I have a constant Busy Message Worker Thread if I look at the POA Website and the user ID is the Principal that deleted the shared calendar. Current Transaction says "Change Sharing", Accessing Store name says "msg0.db", and processing status is "running". This is constantly running busy on the new Post office and the old post office where users were. Not sure if this is causing it to just keep sending the emails or not. Over 7000 have been sent out over night.
    Do you think I need to Rebuild the new Post Office database at all? If so, will it cause any issues? It looks like a straight forward process and simple task.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • Shared Calendars / Room Lists and automatically forcing them to users based on Security Group Membership

    Good morning all,
    I need some help achieving the following in our Exchange 2013 Environment.  First off, we have Exchange 2013, but all our clients have Outlook 2010.
    Here's what I would like to be able to do:
    1) create/manage public calendars / rooms in exchange 2013
    2) force these shared public calendars / rooms to users' calendars who are members of particular security groups
    3) give edit permissions / "booking" permissions for the shared calendars so select users are able to make changes to the shared calendars, as well as accept/deny requests to "book" shared room calendars
    Any one got any resources they can give to point me in the right direction?
    I have already created two mailbox room resources, and have them set up in a room list in AD.  But need to know the above as far as creating a shared calendar for events, and forcing these calendars / room lists out to users based on security group
    membership.
    I don't want my users to have to know how to add a shared calendar...that would be a nightmare explaining.  I just want it to show up.
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated, thank you!

    1) I recommend using Room Mailboxes for resource calendars because it just works better.
    2) This is a standard feature of a Room Mailbox.
    3) You're pretty specific here, but I think this is also more or less available with a Room Mailbox combined with folder rights.
    I don't know any way to just make them "show up".  You'll have to teach them.  Well written instructions can work wonders.

  • Outlook 2010/13 Laptop Calendar access extremely slow after opening shared calendar

    I have a problem with several laptops running Win 7 Ultimate on a network running SBS 2008 (Exch 2007) when they are on the internal network. Outlook response is fine until they tick any shared calendar (either shared by the user or with full access
    to the mailbox granted at the server level)- the response of the calendar screen for the
    local users calendar  or the shared calendar
    when using the advance or retreat arrows on the weeks drops down to roughly 20 seconds to advance to the next week, if the shared calendar is then unticked the speed stays slow for accessing the local calendar. if the user exits outlook and restarts
    it the speed for accessing their own calendar returns to normal until they open another shared calendar.
    this is a problem that has started within the last couple of months. SP are up to date on the windows and office.
    I have tried ticking the download shared folders on and off, and also switching to using HTTP instead of TCPIP through the outlook anywhere. they run in cached mode as they are laptops- uncached is not an option
    network access is fine
    The problem affects some users on the network but not others. the problem shows on office 2010 and 2013. they don't appear to have the problem when they are out of the office.
    Any thoughts anyone?

    If you run your profile in Exchange cache mode and enable "Download share folders", please try to run SCANPST file to fix the OST/PST file and check the result.
