For the default calendar where is this in the options? I dont have ADVANCE options but i will do a littl more research.
Find your main Options icon on the homescreen... could be called Settings or Tools or Options.
Then, Advanced.
I honestly don't know if the Group Calendar can be synced to Outlook. I will ask a friend.

Deleting BBM Group Calendar

Anyone know how to remove the group calendar from our tours???? I've tried everything, thing won't budge. I only want to use my gmail calendar. I was even lucky enough to remove the default calendar (don't know how I did it....now only if I can remove the group one I'd be in heaven... Will take any suggestions!

Okay, looks like I've resolved the stubborn bb group default calendar issue on my wife's device (8900onRobbers);
Backed up device data
Reset the device software using this method KB11320
Restored the backup using the advanced method and excluding the bbgroups, my contacts and calendar entries
prompted me for a restart
setup my google sync for my contacts and calendar
verified the entries calendar entries were indeed showing a single calendar
installed the bbm 5.0 (I had an invite to a group link leftover - which took me to the download)
bbm5 restored my contacts (don't forget to backc them up )
Now it appears to be working as expected...
hope this helps someone!
peace and love

Duplicate BBM Group Calaendar Entries in BB10 Claendar

In the BB10 calendar app I now have 3 duplicate calendars listed for each of my BBM Groups. If I add an entry to the BBM group calendar in BBM it shows up 3 times in the BB10 calendar. There doesn't seem to be any way to delete the extra calendars from the calendar settings. All I can do is uncheck some of the duplicates in the manage calendars settings but this doesn't seem to do much. Anyone know how to delete the extra calendars?

Exactly the same issue with both my Z10 and Q10 - multiple calendars for the same group - each with a different color. Also when I switch from the Q10 to the Z10 the calendar does not show the appointments from the Q10

How to create a group calendar?

Hello,
i am sorry but this is one more question on wiki-group-calendars.
*In short:*
I am not able to create a group calendar with the wiki frontend. the calendar that is created with a wiki is owned by the admin of the wiki. So it is always a personal calendar that cannot be shared in iCal.
LONG:
I want to create a group calendar that is viewed and edited through iCal.app and the web service. Apple´s "wiki deployment" guide says on page 57:
+"The web calendar allows you to easily schedule events for yourself or your group. ...+
+There are *two types of web calendars: personal and group*. You can send and receive event invitations through the personal calendar but not through the group calendar. Also, *while anyone in a group can create or edit events in a group calendar*, you can edit only events in your own personal calendar or event invitations you send to other people.+
+The web calendar uses iCal Server to store events and invitations. ..."+
But there is not mentioned how to create a group calendar. The calendar created with the wiki web-frontend belongs to the admin of that particular wiki. This is why the calendar data ist stored in folder named with the UUID of the wiki admin. Also the alias "http://server.fqdn:8008/principals/groups/mygroupname/" which i provided in iCal turns into ..._uids_UUID-of-the-wiki-admin and only the wiki-admin can access this calendar in iCal.app.
My research on this topic reveals that there were in issue that should be resolved in 10.6.4 (that is running on our Server). So, again, how to create a group calendar?
Thanks, Philipp.

You said "you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there...." What is the "wiki page" you mention? Is that some place I go to via the browser or the Server Admin tool?
I went to http://ical.mysite.com/ical/ and logged in as the Directory Administrator but didn't see anything resembling what you described.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

How do I access group calendars on 10.8 server from a calendar client?

Hi,
I have a brand new installation of 10.8.2 . I installed the server app and started Calendar, Contacts, DNS, File Sharing, Mail, Open Directory and the Wiki services. I created a group with some users in it. I also created a group wiki and enabled the calendar for that wiki. The user group has r/w access to the wiki. The web interface to the wiki works from a client 10.8.2 client system. I can edit the group calendar through the web interface. I created an account in the Calendar application that connects to the server and shows the users' calendar. I altered the server path to /principals/__uids__/wiki-GROUPNAME/.
The calendar shown is still that for the user and not the one of the group. Hence my question: how do I access group calendars on a 10.8 server from the calendar application on a client?

Forgot to mention, you can techinically force it to work, but iCal breaks it for some unknow reason, taking it back to the users account after a day or two. The best work around has been to create a new user, named the group name, and then allow delegates to access the calendar. This however screws things up with the iphone calendar, as it didn't/doesn't handle delegates. Again, hoping Apple comes to their senses on this.
You can still delegated calendars on iOS, but the setup is a little tricky. You have to add an entirely new calendar account, and enter the full ugly url with the users uuid. It would be so nice if iOS just supported CalDav delegation.

How do I create a group calendar in iCal Server 3?

Hello everyone,
I have set up a Mac Mini server to address the calendaring needs of my company. I have also turned on the iCal service using the Server app in the Lion OS. While the shared calendaring functions for individual users of iCal are great, my company is in need of general office calendar for postings of things like vacation times, company holidays, special conferences, etc. Is there a way to configure the Mac Mini server to allow the setup of such a calendar?
Maximus. Prime

Okay, with everyone's help, I believe I have found a resolution to this issue. I am very grateful to everyone who has contributed this discussion. Your help has been invaluable.
1. The first thing I did was to ensure that the iCal and Wiki servers were both running.
2. Next, I created a user whose sole purpose was to create wikis on the server. (In retrospect, I probably didn't have to do this, as any administrative account, which is what I have, can also make wikis).
3. I then created a wiki. To do this open up your Web browser and enter in the name of your server followed by "/wiki" (no quotes). An example of this is servername.local/wiki. (If you are unsure as to whether or not DNS on your local network is working, you can enter the IP address of the server followed by /wiki).
4. Next login into the wiki by clicking on the lock icon in the toolbar. (You can use the account you created earlier or any admin account on the iCal server for login).
5. Click the Wikis button.
6. Click the plus sign in the toolbar, then click New Wiki.
7. Enter a name and optional description. It is much better to enter a short name with no spaces. This will matter in a later step.
8. Next you will see the Set Wiki Access dialog box. Here is where you can enter users of the wiki (calendar), and their permissions (i.e. Owner, Read-Write, etc.).
9. When done with the previous step, click create, and you should be taken to the "welcome" page of your wiki.
10. Click the gear icon in the toolbar then select settings.
11. Select Services in the sidebar, put a check into the Calendar box, and select Save.
12. You should now see a link for Calendar underneath your toolbar. Select it, then select Settings to adjust your timezone settings, etc.
13. You can log out of the wiki at this point.
14. Go to one of the users who was given access to the wiki in step 8.
15. Open iCal -- Preferences then select the Accounts tab.
**Now here is where things get "tricky."**
16. It is likely that this user has a functioning account on your iCal server. If you go to the Server Settings tab of the account and check the Server Path, you will see an entry similar to /principals/__uids__/longstringofalphanumericcaharacters/.
17. Replace the long string of alphanumeric characters with "wiki-wikiname" (no quotes). The wikiname is the name you entered in step 7.
18. Close the iCal preferences box, and close iCal.
19. The user may be prompted to re-enter his/her password. Do so, and afterward you should be have access to the wiki-based group calendar.
UH OH...what about the user's normal account?!?!?!
20. Go back into the account preferences tab of iCal and re-add the user's normal iCal account with his/her normal credentials. All of the user's calendar information should return because it is on the server and backed up regularly...right?
This solution appears to be working for me so far. I have verified that users who can only read from the wiki calendar do not have the ability to edit the calendar. Of course, those who can edit the calendar are able to do. These test users are also able to use their normal iCal accounts without any issues.

Using a wiki group calendar in ical

Dear all,
I have searched the forum now for quite some hours but I haven't found any sollution. I am running a Lion Server 10.7.2. I have setup iCal server and a wiki. I am trying to set up a group calendar, which is working, BUT I am having trouble to setup my iCal accessing that specific calendar.
Let's presume I am trying to get this work for testing in my own LAN first, so I am currently working with IP-addresses.
Server IP: 192.168.100.37
wiki's name: test
I can access the calendar through the webserver but of course I wanna use iCal.
I have learned from other posts that the iCal-account should be set up like this
http://mainserver.example.com:8008/principals/__uids__/wiki-intern/
This would mean for my server
http://192.168.100.37:8008/principals/_uids_/test
if I am correct. However iCal is telling me afterwards that no calendar has been found on the server. Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you so much.

hi andre,

ICal Group Calendar - Line command

Does anyone know how to create a group calendar other than through the wiki interface? I would think there is a line command as well.
I have created group calendars on several osx servers in the past. I have two 10.6.4 servers that seem to have an authorization or communication issue when creating the calendar through the wiki.
Apache: *PROPFIND /principals/wikis/company/ HTTP/1.1" 500 201*
Ical err Failure: *twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError: Connection was refused by other side: 61: Connection refused*.
Accessing the group calendar through the wiki give in in browser error:
quest URL:
*https://www.mycompany.com/principals/wikis/company/*
*Request Method:PROPFIND*
*Status Code:500 Internal Server Error*
I thought I'll debug it further by creating a group calendar by command line. Does anyone know how to do that? Or any other suggestions where to continue?

Thanks for that, Jonathan, but it appears to have a problem: you apparently can't use the Address Panel if you fill in the Account URL field, and all the attendees I fill in to events aren't "real" they have little exclams before their name, instead of check marks.
It seems that the Address Panel only works with accounts that have "Automatically discover server address" checked, and each account for which you have that checked must have a different Username -- you can't use a group name.
I suppose you could set up dummy user names so you could access the groups somehow, AND have the Address Panel working properly...
It's too bad this stuff doesn't work better. I'll bet it doesn't get better before the next "kitty" release, 18-24 months from now...

How to set up group calendar

Hi - I have set up a server on my mac pro. I have everything configured between the server and the clients, and the calendars are able to invite / respond to calendar events from others. What I am wondering about, however, is how to create a common shared group calendar where everyone sees everything that everyone does on the group calendar. I.e. not just events 'shared' or invited to...
Thanks,
Gareth

"currently there is no shared group calendar support."
Well, not really. You hinted at it with: "set up a group wiki."
Go into Workgroup Manager and set up an Open Directory group. Add people to it.
Each client must then go into iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts and add an account. The name and password entered must be the same as that added to the group, Kerberos must be unchecked, and the account URL will be like (fill in the blanks properly):
http://<your domain name here>:8008/principals/groups/<your group name here>/
Now each properly logged in user of that group can make changes to the shared group calendar, without any "hacks" like making dummy users and delegation.
However, I am getting a notifier: "Request Error: Accesss to <event name> in <your group name here> in account <your group name here> is not permitted." But that seems to be a lie, since multiple members of the group can make changes and others can see the changes.
Oh yea, make sure you have a functioning DNS with valid reverse lookup.

How do I create a group calendar?

Hi All,
It is still unclear to me on a fresh 10.6 install how to create a group calendar (using only the Apple server administration utilities) such that all members of a given OpenLDAP group can also subscribe to and share the same calendar if they are members of that group.
As best I can tell, there does not appear to be anything about this in the documentation. I thought this was something that was going to be supported via the server-admin tools in 10.6 without resorting to the command line.
Maybe I'm just not seeing something obvious in the tools or documentation?

Group calendar on wiki doesn't work but individual calendars do.

We have 10.6.3 server running as a OD master and I was looking to use the group calendaring feature of the wiki server. I go to the server using a web browser, sign in, and create a new wiki called "test". I then go into settings for the wiki and enable Calendar as one of the services. I save the settings and get a calendar link at the top of the page for the wiki. When I try to view the calendar I get the message in the middle of the page that says "Getting events from server ..." This never goes away.
When I go to view the calendar for my user, it comes right up. It seems that I have things configured well enough for the web and iCal servers to talk to each other, but something is going wrong with the wiki portion.
Since we are dealing with CalDav I started by using a web browser to diagnose the problem. I go to https://server1.jaxon.private:8443 and I can see that CalDav is working and I get the proper output. I try https://server1.jaxon.privat:8443/principals/users/username and I get all sorts of great info about the user. Finally I try https://server1.jaxon.private:8443/principals/wikis/test and I get an Internal Server Error. It makes sense that the webpage isn't working since the CalDav server isn't happy.
The site access log has the following entries when I try to visit the calendar:
10.0.1.20 - - [24/May/2010:14:44:48 -0600] "POST //server1.jaxon.private//server1.jaxon.private/RPC2 HTTP/1.0" 404 3754
10.0.1.20 - - [24/May/2010:14:44:48 -0600] "POST //server1.jaxon.private//server1.jaxon.private/RPC2 HTTP/1.0" 404 3754
10.0.1.108 - - [24/May/2010:14:44:47 -0600] "PROPFIND /principals/wikis/test/ HTTP/1.1" 500 201
So there are a couple 404 not founds and a 500 Internal Sever error.
I also get entries in the site error log:
[Mon May 24 14:43:04 2010] [error] [client 10.0.1.108] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/collaboration-availability, referer: https://server1.jaxon.private/groups/

[Mon May 24 14:44:48 2010] [error] [client 10.0.1.20] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/Documents/server1.jaxon.private
Some additional info about our configuration is below
To start here is the output from changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 10.0.1.20
Current HostName = server1.jaxon.private
DNS HostName = server1.jaxon.private
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
Under the iCal server section I have the Wiki Server listed as server1.jaxon.private with the SSL checkbox checked. Under Authentication I have type set to Any, Host Name as server1.jaxon.private, Port 8008, SSL set to Use, and SSL Port set to 8443.
Under the Web server section I have 1 site enabled with a Host Name of server1.jaxon.private, IP Address of 10.0.1.20, and Port of 443. The Options, Realms, and Logging tabs all have the default values. Under security I have the SSL certificate configured. Under Aliases and Proxy are just the defaults, and Web Services has Wikis, Calendars, and change their password options.
Any help would be appreciated.

Apple has a command line equivalent to the Server Admin GUI application that conveniently enough is called serveradmin. If you open terminal on your machine and type:
man serveradmin
You'll get the manual page for the serveradmin command. This will run you through all the different arguments you can use with the command and has some examples of the command usage.
If you type:
sudo serveradmin settings calendar
The sudo means super user do. This will temporarily escalate your privileges so you can run the command. It will then ask you for your password to verify your identity. When the command runs you will see all the different settings listed for the calendar service.
To change the value of an item you would do something like the following:
sudo serveradmin settings calendar:somesetting="new value"

Help with BBM Groups

Hello all,
My question pertains to BBM groups which isn't specific to either BlackBerry 10 nor BlackBerry 7 and earlier, and I was not sure which one forum location would be appropriate for this question, so I opted to post it to the Downloaded Software section in both the BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry 7 and earlier spaces. My appologies if this was not "the right way to do it".
My question is one that I also posted on CrackBerry.com forums but after some time it seems I may stumped the community over there with this one.
Here is what I wrote over there:
"I recently created two BBM Groups and posted them here on CrackBerry with minor fuss. Yay for me. In each forum post I included a QR Code / Bar code of each BBM Group so as to make them easier to join. Yay for me again.
What I realised thereafter was that though this makes joining easy for anyone reading the posts from a screen other than their BlackBerrys, it does NOT make it easy for someone actually reading the thread from their BlackBerry and thinking to themselves "Oh hey, I want to join that group". At least, not that I can tell. I don't think it's possible to scan a QR code on your BlackBerry screen from the same BlackBerry, right? That's my assumption. If someone knows otherwise, please let me know, that would solve my issue.
SO, if I am right in my assumption and one cannot scan a QR / Bar code from one's own BlackBerry when said code appears on the BlackBerry's own screen, I am looking for another way to make it easy for someone reading the post to just "tap or click here" to join the group, to make as easy for someone who would be scanning the QR / Bar code from another source.
I tried getting the text URL for the group from the code and pasting it into a thread, but when it comes up in the CrackBerry app on the BlackBerry, the link is not clickable / tappable. I then tried adding the CrackBerry post editor tool's "Link" too to make the URL text an actual URL, though the only effect that had was that the URL appears clickable / tappable in the BlackBerry's CrackBerry app, but tapping / clicking on it has no effect. After making this change I tried to view the same thread post in my browser both on computer and on the Z10. When I click it DOES react but on the Z10 browser I just get a message "Unable to open bbg:<yadda yadda>".
So I've shared a lot of detail but the point I am really focused on is "is there a way for BlackBerry users to be able to join my BBM Group, on their own, as easily as if they had scanned the bar code, when all they have access to is the phone itself, and no outside media from which to scan the code"?
I am trying to avoid things like "Send me your PIN" and such because that just creates so many more steps and acts as a barrier to entry. Similarly, I don't see myself telling the reader "Just take this bar code you see here, and arrange to print or display it somewhere other than on your BlackBerry screen and then scan it".
Any input on this would be most appreciated!"
Essentially, I'd like to be able to post something that a BlackBerry user can look at on their BlackBerry, and tap / click on it, and boom they're done (i.e. they are at the same place they would be if they had instead just scanned the QR code).

I think there is a case for it. With any luck someone from BlackBerry will see the suggestion and will pass it along.
If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.
