Is there an FAQ or step by step tutorial for personal web sharing?

First off, if anyone knows of an FAQ somewhere that answers this question, post me the link.
Am trying to build a comon web page for synching iCal on a stans alone machine and am sure this is a very common question from new iCal users like myself:
Situation:
-Multiple users on same iMac
-Different accounts Mom, Dad, Kids, Nanny
-Need to collaborate schedules
Want to create a webpage on my machine (without .mac) where we can publish calendars.
Tried turning on personal web sharing in the system preferences but the addresses listed only show a page listed as "Access Forbidden."
Is there a step by step tutorial out there? I could really use one.

Thanks to all for replying. The information posted was very informative and answered my questions asked.
I guess the real answer for me the very novice and deliberatly blissfull user is: No.
I switched to Mac after assembling my own PCs to try and get then to do what I wanted. The driver/dll/ini issues were maddening!!!
Am not tech-phobic, but am loathe to start working in the terminal and with code since I know so little and it was that commercial that said "I got tired of being my own tech dept." that made me switch.
Looked at the tutorials and there are always comments underneath with comments about how there is a typo here, mispelling, there, better code over yander etc. linux/apache/unit/windows flame wars etc.
All I want it to do is work or not. Since it is not; will find another way.
Between purusing sites I think I came up with a simple low tech solution.
In the shared folder create an iCal_Shared folder. From one user export a calendar complete with a date. For example Dad's work as of 15 JAN. Then in the duaghter's calendar import the same calendar. Knowing that as changes are made by me, I will have to update the exported file, and my daughter will have to be aware of the as of dates.
A lot of solutions out there are for the corporate world. Am happy to Apple gaining market share but I am on a stand alone machine.
The iPhoto manager is a great product from a third party and was happy to pay for it. Saves me a lot of time with 20K+ pictures.
Just want an app causing iCal to behave simply, ie my daughter and I could share calendar information on our machine without running WebDAV server, a three tiered digital satelite hookup, etc,
Pie Argh Squarred..It seems to me that Apple woule be better off if they came up with solutions like that that cost $20 since they would reach a lot more people than they are now with the $100 annual .mac extortion fee.
Kudos to those of you who are much smarter and braver than I and again I thank you for your posts as they have opened my eyes as to just how old I am getting! Perhaps my daughter should solve this one for me!

Is there any way to use the bundled PHP compiler without web sharing on?

Is there any way to use the bundled PHP compiler without Web Sharing on? Is there a way to make sure Web Sharing only allows local access so others on the network cannot access it? Any other easy way to get a PHP compiler on a Mac? I currently run Mac OS X 10.7.4. Any other security issues that might pop up from leaving Web Sharing on? Basically I just want a local PHP compiler so I can do some coding.

You can use another router as an 'extender' (I know that this will work seemlessly with AirPort Extemes and AirPort Express's - you'll have to check with your router manufacturer to determine what they recommend for range extenders).

Is there a Step By Step download procedure for CS4??

Wondering if there is a step by step procedure for downloading CS4 from the Adobe site??
Yes- I have tried the following link, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402065.html
however, what folder is best to download it too??
It also says that both the EXE file and the 7z file must be in the same folder to operate the download.
Which folder gets opened first after download? Where are the the above files located? Does the EXE go into the same folder as the 7z file or the other way around??
Most of the FAQ is centered around Akamai... I have removed my anti-spy programs completely and turned off Macafee.
The download FAQ does not address a step by step procedure. Anyone know if Adobe has one??

Now, I have not downloaded any Adobe programs, but for the rest, I download to a special folder in my C:\Download Files for each program. I then will Extract with full folder structure to a sub-folder beneath that program's folder. I will install from there, with all AV, pop-up blockers and spy sweepers off.
Tom's suggestion seems to be a good one for Adobe programs. though I have not use that path - remember, I am NOT downloading and installing any Adobe programs. Still, many have expressed full success with Tom's location.
Be sure that you ARE logged-in as an Administrator. This is very important to most Adobe programs. Also, allow the installation to locate on your C:\. I do choose C:\Adobe, and not the default C:\Program Files\Adobe, but that is just the way that I manage my Adobe programs. Default is fine.
Good luck, and do NOT forget to Extract with full folder structure for the installation.

Hi,
If your subsequence is in a separate sequencefile, then check the properties of the sequencefile to make sure that the record has not been disabled.

HT1414 IPHONE 3GS Problems. Updated to IOS6 then says There are just a few more steps to take. Press Continue. Once pressed it says connect to itunes. So plugged the cable in and it does nothing and stays on that screen. How can he fix it?

Hi, My friend has just updated there 3GS to IOS6 and once it's done, 2 screens appear. first one says, Update complete, there are just a few more steps to take. Press continue and another screen comes up with the itunes symbol and the cable and says connect to itunes. Once plugged in, on itunes it reconises the phone and has the loading symbol up, but it doesn't loads anything and can't press anything. Anyone know why and how to resolve this?

You're on your own. Good luck.

I want to update my IPad's operating system but when I tried to so, I got a message at Itunes advising all my apps would be removed? Is there a step by step guide for doing this update and retaining my apps? I am completely lost....

I want to update my 1st generation IPad which has a current OS of 4.2.1 to the latest 5.0 OS. I tried to do this through my ITunes account but got a warning that continuing would delete my apps, etc. I don't want that to happen! I have ZERO tech ability/know-how and need an idiot-proof, step by step guide to performing the update. Any help most appreciated. I haven't got a clue how to back up anything on the IPad, either.
Many thanks!!

First copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab on your computer's iTunes, via wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
There is some more info on this page about updating to iOS 5 : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

I just replaced my hard drive and am trying to install the Snow Leppard OS on my Mac mini using the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step by step procedure that will guide me through this process?

I just replaced my hard drive due to failure in my Mac mini. I am trying to load the Snow Leppard OS from the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step-by-step procedure somewhere that would help me? This is my first problem with my first Mac. I thought getting to the hard drive and changing it would be the hard part but I made it through that with little trouble. My lack of software experience on the Mac is really slowing me down. I believe I'm not making the right choices in the Disk Utility program.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Prep the new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Upon completion quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X. When the installation has completed you can proceed to restore your data from your backups. If you have an existing backup from Time Machine or another hard drive then upon completing the Setup Assistant you will have an option to restore from another Mac, a TM backup, or another drive. Use the appropriate option.

Yes:
Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
That's it!
So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
This document gives location:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
Which OS?
If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

What other videos and books are there? that you suggest. for step by step . Jeannette

What other videos and books are there? that you suggest. for step by step .
Jeannette

The various Lynda.com video tutorials are very good, but you have to pay for a description. The Photoshop User TV podcasts are excellent; there are hundreds of them, and they are free. They are also what the iPad was invented for.
The 'You suck at Photoshop' videos on YouTube are both very funny and very instructive.
The Scott Kelby books are very good for folk starting out. The Martin Evening, and the Martin Evening/Jeff Schewe books are as good as they get from a photography point of view. The Steve Caplin books are the best Photoshop books once you get into it, but Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski do some great medium to advanced books. Matt's Compositing Secrets is excellent, and was Amazon's best Photoshop book for a while.

Is there a step by step somewhere for using the iCloud Beta?

Is there a step by step somewhere for using the iCloud Beta? I assume we can activate it after reading Apple advertizing on the Beta and 10.4.80. I don't see anything on iTunes that would get me there - Thank you for your help - IM

Is there a "step to step" guide for when you're new at Oracle

Hi all,
If just recently made my 1st database and I am stuck what to do next.

At first not too detailed, later I can fill in the blanks.
Thanks in advance
