Boooo: What happened to iCal calendar sharing in Leopard?

As much as a year out from the release of Leopard Apple was touting the iCal calendar sharing. WHAT HAPPENED?!
It was the only real reason I was excited about Leopard. Our whole family was looking forward to sharing one family calendar that everyone had rights to post to and everyone would be in sync.
Am I wrong, or is it vaporware?

At the moment, being detached from your subnet and using Mac OS X 10.5 or later is problematic. SyncTogether, for example, does not work with Leopard configurations.
There are other approaches you can take, including using Plaxo, or using Google calendars mated with SpanningSync to share calendar data. All of these have their relative strengths and weaknesses, or limitations. A requirement to be on the same subnet is the limitation of BusySync.

  • ICal calendar sharing after iCloud transition

    iCal calendar sharing after iCloud transition does not work the same. I would like to be able to share a calendar in web view as I was able to before...
    I am still able to invite others who have iCloud to see my calendar, but not PC users or others who do not have similar software. I want a url for the calendar soe I can send it to a group to view only. This was possible before the transistion! Please help!

    In your iPhone (or iPad) go to settings/general settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars and at the top under "Accounts" you will see "Subscribed Calenars" (not in the calendar section, above that at the top of the page)... click on the calendar you want to delete and do so from there.

  • What happened to iPhoto network sharing?

    Since upgrade to Mavericks, I cannot see how I share photos across my home network.  I do not want to have to upload to icloud as this will take much longer.  What happened to the home network sharing option?

    Two things:
    1. Great Find:
    Apparently everyone ignores the option of home sharing the iPhoto library using iTunes
    2. On the other hand:
    I simply put it on my Qnap NAS
    you might want to read this and reconsider:
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    See this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
    for more. Note also the comment:
    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

  • ICal calendar sharing among users on same computer

    Hi
    I'm the network admin and we have 4 user account on my new iMac. I would like to share iCal calendars with the other users on this computer (husband, kids) without publishing to the internet or using mobile me. How do I do it?
    Thanks!
    Chris

    Your best bet is to post a query on the 10.4 forum

  • What happened to the calendar with the new version of i07.0.3?

    What in the heck happened with the most recent i07.0.3 rollout?   The calendar is so user un-friendly.    There is no longer a list functionality.    In order to see what appointments you have on a day you have to scroll through all 24 hours of the day instead of receiving a summary below the date.    Additionally the weekly view no longer has a dot underneath the date to signify already scheduled appts.
    I cannot believe this got out of testing.  Utterly unrealistic to expect people to scroll through 24 hours through a 7 day week to find appointments.    Does any one know if there are any fixes on the way?   If not, makes no sense to dump money into an iphone 5S.....
    Thanks.   Bill

    I don't think this was a 7.0.3 change, but a 7.0 change.  Hit the search magnifying glass to get the list view.

  • What happened to my calendar? Where did it go?!?!

  • What happened to the calendar in iPhoto?

    I'm referring to the little calendar in the lower left of the window that allowed you to filter on a particular year, month, day... or see what days had photos taken on them... etc.
    It was VERY useful, and now it appears to be GONE.
    Does anyone know?

    Ah, that took me a little while to figure out, too. It has been integrated into the search box at the bottom of the window. Click on the magnifying glass, and select "Date" from the popup. That will bring the calendar back.

  • IPhoto on iOs - What happens if I delete shared Journals???

    What if I delete Shared journals? Will they be stills available on the web???

    Albums are just pointers to images in your library. Deleting or changing an album has no effect on other albums or events.
    Deleting from the library, on the other hand, will permanently remove pictures wherever they might be used.

  • HT201394 What happened to my calendar?

    The calendar on my iPhone 5s, updated to iOS 8, no longer has any events. All the calendars are checked, but no events show up. Thankfully, they still exist on my computer. What else is going to go wrong?

    thanks ---- I got it!

  • What happened to my calendar entries?

    I input some events in my calendar on my iPad 1 yesterday. They synced with my iPhone with no issues. I look at my calendar today and these entries are completely gone. Strangely, they are still on my iPhone. This is the second time in two weeks this has happened to me.
    Any idea why? My calendar is very important for work so I can't have things disappearing like this.
    Any help is appreciated

    Aside from providing ryan with the information that may be helpful for other suggestions, you can try to restart your iPad - especially if you don't restart on a regular basis - it may not help recover your calendar entries -  but it certainly will not hurt and it may help for any little funky things that may arise in the future.
    When things don't work as expected ... Two things you can always try first ...
    Restart your iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. Hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to start up.
    Reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time - for about 10 seconds - until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

  • What happened to my calendar?

    As of today all of my events are missing for this month and the follwoing. All events are present for November and earlier but none for December and forward.

    Were your appointments stored only on your phone?  Or do you have them on a PC/Web calendar too?
    I've found the best way to always keep my calendar in sync no matter how many times I change phones is to use Google Calendar for everything and then sync it with my phone.  That way when I add something on my phone I choose Google Calendar and it gets added to my Google Calendar and when I add or change something on my Google Calendar it gets automatically changed on my phone.  You can even have multiple Google Calendars and have them all sync to your phone.  I have separate calendars for regular stuff, doctor appointments, birthdays, etc.  Each shows up as a different color and makes it easy to keep important stuff noticed.

  • 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.

  • What happens if I downgrade to Snow Leopard?

    Hello,
    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro that originally came with Snow Leopard. At some point, I upgraded to Lion, so that I now have 10.7.5. I would like to be able to downgrade to Snow Leopard using the discs that came with my computer. This is mainly so that I can use the Bootcamp version which supports Windows XP. I was wondering if I can downgrade without losing any of my data, and if I will lose certain apps, settings, etc. currently on my Mac. I DO NOT own an external hard drive or any backups(I know I should, but I never got around to it). So what will happen if I try to downgrade, and is it possible?
    Thanks for any help.
    EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw another thread exactly like this, and realized that in order to get all my files, I need an external hardrive with a backup of my files.

    No, it is not possible. Here's what you must do:
    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard 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. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

  • Ok, what happened to this shortcut in Snow Leopard?

    In Photoshop CS4 Mac OS10.5 and 10.6 are behaving differently in one small but annoying respect:  The shortcut Shift > Option > (left and right square brackets) used to select previous and next layers inclusively. This means that layers were added to the selection as you used this shortcut. In Snow Leopard 10.6 this shortcut no longer works for some reason.
    Why does it really matter? - this affects the recording of Actions, where it now seems to be impossible to to record the step "Select Backward/Forward layer - with modification Add". This is a very important step for contextual layer selection in Actions. So unless you have a machine with 10.5 on it you cannot record this step at all any more as far as I can see. Unless I'm missing something?
    I tried this only using Photoshop CS4 on both operating systems, but I suspect that the problem may exist in CS5 also. Its possible I'm missing something here and someone may have a solution for me? I know its possible to dupe existing Action steps, but a direct answer would be appreciated.

    Mark, I will provide you with a workaround. Please make sure that you have not changed the shortcut for "Select Backward/Forward layer" To check the list of current keyboard shortcuts please do the following:
    Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
    From the Shortcuts For menu, choose a shortcut type: Application Menus, Panel Menus, or Tools.
    Click Summarize.
    You can export the list of current keyboard shortcuts and view them.  You can also delete the current short cut for a particular action here. In the Set pop‑up menu, choose the shortcut set that you want to delete.Then click on the delete icon and click OK. To create a new shortcut, do the following. In the Shortcut column of the scroll list, select the shortcut you want to modify. Type a new shortcut then save.
    Hope it helps,
    Bobby Johnson.
