2 iPhones / 2 iCal Calendars : how to only subscribe to 1 each?

My wife and I both keep our lives organized via iCal.
We both have iPhones.
So we BOTH get each other's alerts.
Is there a way to just "subscribe" to individual calendars? Is it something simple that I'm just overlooking?
tia,

Try using BusySync. It's not free, but I find it well worth the money. It syncs up Google calendars as well as your local home networked calendars. Allows you to subscribe, share and publish whatever makes sense and is very easy to set up.
I'm not connected in any way with the company, just a happy customer.

IPhone and iCal calendars all of sudden not synching

All of a sudden when I try to synch my iPhone it get's stuck for hours trying to synch the calendars. In iTunes it shows "Synching calendars with iPhone" and just goes and goes and goes like this FOREVER. Everything else synchs fine. If I uncheck "synch iCal calendar" in iTunes, everything else synchs in a snap as usual. Same thing happens when my husband tries to synch his phone.
Any tips or tricks I can try?
Thanks!
Keely

One thing that might help.
On your mac, create a new login.
Close itunes.
Log into the new account.
open ical and enter a test event.
open itunes and go through the initial setup.
Connect the iphone.
Control click on the iphone under devices and choose back up. (create a safety net for yourself.)
Now sync only calendars. You should get a message to merge data and about modifying more then 5% of the data on the computer.
If the issue persists there could be an issue with the content on the iphone.
If the sync goes fine, there could be an issue with the content in ical on the original account.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Ical calendar how to embed into webpage

Using iWeb I successfully published my iCal calendar to my website. However suddenly my embedded calendar stopped showing any entries. I understand this is due to the changes in the mobileme calendar. Can I restore the previous very useful facility? Or do I have to switch to Google calendar? It a resource that I found very useful for clients wanting to see when I was available and I am sure many other users use a facility like this. must say that Apple have annoyed me over this. It was not easy finding how to embed the calendar in the first place and now they seem to have downgraded the mobileme calendar. I thought the general trend was to improve applications not the reverse.
Any help would be much appreciated

I don't believe you can restore that capability.
You can add a Google calendar to a web page (it's scaleable whereas the iCal calendar was not) and then sync your iCal calendar to the Google calendar with Google Sync Services. An example is shown on this demo page: Google Calendar.

Is it possible to sync multiple mobileme accounts onto the iphone, syncing ical calendars for these multiple mobile me accounts ?

I am trying to sync two mobileme accounts into my iphone and each account have different calendars ( all being with ical NOT CALDAV).
Now, my question is can I sync these different calendars, belonging to different mobileme accounts, into the iphone? please assist me on this matter.
Basically i want to have a work calendar to share with my colleagues and a personal calendar to share just with my friends and family.

You are correct. This used to work in the past although admittedly I haven't tried it for some time as it was of no direct use for my purposes.
If the goal is to see another MobileMe account's calendar(s) on your iOS device then an alternative would be to share the calendar(s) in question to yourself.
Example:
Assume you currently have MobileMe user account A on your iPhone.
Login to MM user account B with me.com which has the calendar you wish to have access to on your iPhone
Click on Calendars
Click on the Share button for the calendar you wish to see added to your iPhone.
Type in the MobileMe email address for MM user account A and set it for read & write access
Login to MM user account A on me.com
Go to calendars and accept the invitation to join the calendar you sent from MM account B
Go your iPhone (you may need to turn it on and off to make the calendars refresh ) and check your calendars, you should now have the other calendars added to your MobileMe account A's calendar
Note: You can repeat step # 3 for each of the calendars you wish to see on your iPhone.

Two iPhones two separate calendars?

I use my iPhone for work and play, wifey uses her for play only.
I have a lot of calendar entries via Exchange (work) and she (as a result of us sharing a single account via iTunes) gets all the updates etc that I get as a result.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this - ie two iPhones, two iCal calendars?

When she syncs her phone to (presumably?) your itunes, she needs to UNCHECK the calendar sync in the info pane or else she will continue to get your events.

Sync iPhone with iCal takes most recent update in either?

I am seeing what appears some unpredictability on the above. I am not sure whether sync through iTunes makes sure to take most recent change in Calendar, be it through iCal or iPhone Calendar. Is there a special setting to ensure this happens?

cschwanenberger,
Are you using Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion on your computer? It is required to gain full iCloud calendar sync capability.
If you are using Lion, what calendars do you have listed under the iCal "Calendars" tab? Only data entered under the iCloud category will sync with iCloud. Any data entered under the "On My Mac" category will not sync with iCloud.

How do I subscribe to a MobleMe SL calendar in Lion

I have update to iCloud and reshared my wifes caledars to me and viseversa. My son's computer is still Leopard with a MobileMe account for his iCal. How do I subscribe to my son's iCal calendars?

Hi all,
Fortunately, I was able to fix my problem with iOS 6 and CalDAV (-> see discussion message/19772549#19772549) - I'd be glad if this gives some of you a hint for your troubleshooting...!?
Just today, I have upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and my (multiple!) calendars are working fine!
I'm using the CalDAV Server included in the open source project ownCloud -
works fine with the latest version of ownCloud, even with contacts via CardDAV...
It's a free tool running on any webserver incl. NAS'es providing an Apache/PHP like QNAP and Synology.
So, maybe exchanging the Synology CalDAV by ownCloud could fix your issues?
In the last months I have had to learn that CalDAV and CardDAV (and jus as the underlying technology WebDAV itself) obviously are quite "interpretative" from an implementation perspective (...) and not all solutions are strictly working accordingly the RFC requirements (even Apple doesn't 100% ...).
So it seems to be still "tricky" to keep such environments running...

How do I set my wife's iPhone to only see certain iCal calendars on her iPhone?

My wife and I just purchased 2 iPhone 4S's. We are sharing one Addple ID and one iCloud account with our iMac. I keep several iCal calendars, which were all created on our iMac. I am able to access them and get alerts from my iPhone with no problem. However, she also receives the tasks from all of the calendars on her iPhone as well. Even after I click the calendar icon on her iPhone > go to the iCloud calendars and uncheck all of my calendars, my tasks still keep showing up on her phone. How can I set it so she only sees calendars she'd created or those that are intended to be shared? Do we have to have 2 Apple IDs and/or iCloud IDs for this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm not sure why when you uncheck the calendars on her phone that the calendars are still visible within the app, that isn't supposed to be the way it works.
Why are you averse to having individual iCloud accounts.

I'm too old to learn iCal. How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? Thanks

I'm too old to learn iCal. How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??
Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
Thanks

If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook. Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas?

my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas on how to correct this? This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

How can I sync "On My Mac" iCal calendars on Snow Leopard with iPhone and Google Calendar?

Hi,
(I've done a lot of searching for a clear answer but without success.)
Can someone please advise how I can get the "On My Mac" calendars on iCal v4.0.4 (running under Snow Leopard 10.6.8) to sync with an iPhone and Google Calendars, 'over the air' (i.e. not via iTunes) and both ways (two-way syncing).
There was a great bit of software called Spanning Sync which did it all but it's now discontinued. I'm running Snow Leopard and do NOT want to upgrade to OS Lion.
I've tried the iCloud route but it just creates an extra set of "@me.com" calendars under the "On My Mac" calendars - it is not syncing the "On My Mac" calendars themselves (and I want to use the "On My MAc" calendars as the master dataset (the 'Truth database' to use an Apple term!).
... And the same happens when I try to sync my Google Calendars: another set of "@google.com" calendars appear.
Now instead of 2 calendars in iCal I have 6: 2 On My Mac calendars, 2 iCloud ones, and 2 Google ones. (This is not progress Apple!)
Hope someone can advise.
Many thanks.

Thanks Winston. I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud. I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

How do I sync MacBook Pro's old iCal calendar with iPhone 4?

I had MobileMe, which as you all know, was not a perfect program. MobileMe left me with duplicates of every Calendar but I am not sure which one to delete of each pair for fear of losing date. But it did sync my iPhone and my iCal on my MacBookPro. So when it was suggested that I move to iCloud, I thought: Great idea. Maybe this program will work better!
Well now I have no syncing between iCal calendar and iPhone iCal calendar.
Does anyone know how to use this thing?
AGH!
Thanks for any help you can shoot my way. Assume idiocy: step 1, step 2, step 3 appreciated and for each device if you know how to fix this!

Contacts and calender you can put on icloud then sync to your new phone when its setup to the icloud account. Not sure so with emails.

How can I transfer calendars from my iPhone to ical on my Macbook?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer calendars which appear in ical on my iPhone to ical on my Macbook? There doesn't seem to be an option for this in iTunes or iCal. I have a Macbook with 10.5.8 OSX, and I have icloud installed on my iPhone.
I hope someone can help!

I have the same problem. Have you gotten any answers? I thought that the merge option (which I found somewhere in iTunes Sync for my device/iPhone) would take the full calendar on my iPhone and "merge" it with the empty one on my iMac. The iMac is still empty.
