Can I share a common "Contacts/Calendar" store?

I am a longstanding Windows user who is now "sold" on my iPhone & iPad. I appreciate that I can sync my contacts/calendar between iPhone and my Windows Laptop/Desktops etc. but having my iPhone handy when I login to each Windows device etc. As I have multiple devices, being a retired I.T. type, I would prefer to have a single storage location to which every device I use would synchronize Contacts & Calendar data. Almost all answers to this predicament that I've found so far have a requirement for me to change my EMail address to gmail, or outlook.com or whatever.
So, my predicament:- I wish to login to my very longstanding IMAP Email account and have access to my Contacts & Calendar from whatever Iphone, iPad or Windows device.I happen to be using.
I appreciate that the answer is possibly very straightforward, but please be patient with an old-timer! and please, please, please don't reply with the opening phrase...."If you had a "gmail" email account..... or if you had an "outlook.com" email account. The predicament that I'm in is that I haven't!
Any help very much appreciated. But please type slowly, as I'm getting a bit slow on the uptake!!!
Regards
PS:- I don't need to sync EMail (being IMAP) , only Contacts list & calendar.

Dropbox will flag conflicts, a very serious concern for file sharing. I'm not sure what iCloud would do with the case of two copies of a document being open and being modified simultaneously.
Think about how you will coordinate edits and prevent conflicts. It may be as easy as taking turns doing edits with coordination by email.

How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company).

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 ?

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 without showing my personal calendar? I created a project specific calendar using Entourage 2008 for Mac. I want to add someone that uses Outlook from a PC. We are in the same exchange network. I have added this person in under the sharing tab, but don't see a way to invite her to view it, and it does not appear on her Outlook list of shared calendars. I was able to invite her to view my main calendar, but not the project specific one. Any suggestions?

Can we share one single RDBMS security store across multiple domains ?

Can we share one single RDBMS security store across multiple weblogic domains? The idea is to utilize the same set of users and group defined in Weblogic Security Realms across multiple weblogic domains. Is it possible ? are there any risk ?
i am using Oracle WebLogicServer11gR1 (10.3.6) Generic with Coherence.

Hi,
The document which you are referring is for WLS 10.0 and RDBMS security is introduced from WLS 10.3.0 onwards.
The reason why RDBMS security store should not be stored between two domains is RDBMS security store is used by authorization, role mapping, credential mapping, and certificate registry providers.
Once the RDBMS security store is configured in a domain, an instance of any of the preceding security providers that has been created in the security realm automatically uses only the RDBMS security store as a datastore, and not the embedded LDAP server.
It is just the replacement for Embedded LDAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Murali.

I updated to iOS5 weeks ago; but suddenly I can't open the mail, contacts, calendar settings and I am not getting any email to my iPad2 AND it keeps trying to connect and it is runnijng the battery down...any help?

I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

Try to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings. It won't delete your data.
When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted?

Can i share my birthday contact information with someone else?

I want to share my birthday calendar with my wife. How I do that?

I'm afraid you can't share it as a separate calendar as it is not synced with iCloud. It's created on your device by pulling the birthday information in the contacts on the device(s) it's enabled on. She would have to share the same contact list in order to create the same birthdate calendar on her device.

Desktop, laptop and iPhone: Need common contacts, calendars

Once upon a time, I could synch to MobileMe from my desktop MacPro, overwriting everything on MobileMe so that I then had two up to date copies of my calendars and contacts. I would then synch my MacBook Pro with mobileme, overwriting everything on the laptop. I would also connect my iPhone to the desktop, and synch it. The result was two computers and one iPhone that all had the same data for calendars and contacts. It took a bit of time to do, but it worked, and I could rely on it.
Now, the desktop and the iPhone can be kept in synch, and if I add something on either, the other will know about it -- mostly. But the laptop is somehow out of the loop. It has some of the contacts, but not all, and it is not getting updated.
How do I make ONE common contact database, and have 3 calendars (Personal, Work and Family) the same on all three devices? So that if I make a change on one, the other two will automatically be updated.

That's exactly how it should work with iCloud, the same information everywhere.
If one of the calendars isn't syncing correctly, turn off calendar syning on that device, delete all the calendars on that device and then turn calendar syncing back on.
You may want to back up data before you do any of this.

How can I share my a public calendar from iCal (through iCloud) with Outlook for Windows users?

I have a public work calendar that I wish to share with colleagues in the office. No issues for those having a Mac or an iPhone, but how can I share the calendar with Outlook for Windows users?
Thanks for the help!

Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

Help! Can't sync Outlook 2007 contacts & calendar with iPhone 5 or iPad Air

After upgrading software on iPhone 5 & iTunes, I can no longer sync any contacts or calendar from Outlook 2007.
I have been syncing happily for years, but just this week after downloading software updates for iPhone 5 and iTunes, I can no longer sync.
Music and Podcasts and even notes appear ok, but no contacts or calendar.
At one point, I managed to get the calendar to appear but no contacts; then on a later attempt, the calendar completely disappeared from my iPhone and Outlook - with no USB connection at the time. I had a backup, but strange!
I have tried the following with no success (most tips picked up from this forum):
Reset sync and tried again
Reset my phone to be a new phone; deleted everything - no success;
Ensured my default account on outlook was the same standard account as before
Deleted all the addons in Outlook except for iTunes (though iCloud keeps coming back!)
I have run malware software and found nothing
I have shut down and restarted many many times!
I am syncing via USB.
Please help!! I have spent hours trying to get this to work.
Thank you!

By any chance are you running any Eset security software products (like Nod32) on that PC?
If so, there's a couple of alternatives.
Either try the procedure in Samoreen's post:
Re: iTunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook
Or, see if you can get hold of the Eset beta addressing the problem. As Samoreen notes in another post:
ESET have a workaround for this issue. They gave me access to a test version of the HIPS module and this fixed the problem. So I could re-enable the ESET_OPTIONS environment variable (although I still consider that it's a questionable idea). I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5.5 and there was no problem.
So maybe you should get in touch with ESET support and request the new module ? Just send a message to Marcos in the ESET forum.

How can I share ownership of a calendar on iCloud?

We are using iCloud on a small network and would like to share ownership of a calendar so multiple people can send invites? Is this possible?

I just found out how to do this by fiddling around.
In iCal make sure you have the calendar you'd like to share highlighted in the CALENDER box to the left of the calendar. Then click the drop down at the top "Calendar". Click on "Share" or "Share Settings" I can't remember... sorry.
This will bring up a dialog box where you'll see the name of the calender you're going to share (you can also edit the name there). Then you click on "Only the People You Invite"
and you'll then add the email addresses in the area below that. There is a little plus sign below that where you can add multiple viewers.
So far so good. I just have to check and make sure the person on the recieving end has set up his iCloud as well (I think).
hope this helps

IPhone, Mac and a PC... Can the share and update a Calendar?

I'm hoping you all can help me with a need that I have...
I just got an iphone and would like to get my appointments in sync. the workflow would be this.
I would update my work calendar from my Mac or iphone... That is the easy part. The hard part would be is that I would like for my office assistant to be able to subscribe to that cal on her PC and be able to add appointments to that work cal as well.
Can this be done? If so how? Thanks in advance for your replies

Subscribed iCal calendars are read-only objects and cannot be modified.
Were it not for the PC platform, you could resolve the cross-user synchronization of read-writable shared calendars and contact records with SyncTogether™ from Mark/Space.
There are other possibilities, including the use of Google calendars and SpanningSync or using GroupCal to share Exchange calendars, but these seem rather clumsy.
You may simply have to wait for the release of Mac OS X 10.5 in September to achieve this. You can take a look at pre-release descriptions of the next release of iCal to get an idea of how CalDAV will make this all possible.

Can I share an Exchange account Calendar with another icloud user?

How do I get my work calendar onto the my iCloud accout, and how do I share it with another iCloud user?
he exchange calendar is currently on my iphone calendar, but I can't find a way to see it on my iCloud.

iCloud only syncs your iCloud calendar. It won't sync your exchange calendar.

Can't configure sync my contacts & calendar on iTunes (10.1.0.56)

The ability to configure Sync my contacts is not avaliable. When I select sync my contacts the configure button does not respond.
As for Sync my calendars - this one I even can't select, the option to select the check box is disabled.
I have iPhone 4 OS 4.2.1
I am using Outlook 2007 on windows XP.
I have re-installed iTunes, I have restored my iPhone, I have configured the iTunes Add in in my outlook, outlook is my default mail account, I basicly did everything that is possible.
Any idea on how to fix that?
Worth mention that previously I had iPhone 3G sync on this laptop, but I have managed to remove all the old backups.
I can sync photos and application but that's all.
Thanks.

I have resolved this.
For anyone having the issue, here's what appears to be happening based on running iTunes setup with verbose logging turned on and watching the time when the network interface dies.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

Can I manually sync new contacts & calendar items: laptop - over the air?

Sometimes I enter a new contact or calendar item on my laptop and dash out the door hoping it shows up on my phone. Often it's not there. Is there a way to manually push an over-the-air sync between my laptop and iPhone?

Apple recently updated the sync time interval between the Address Book and iCal on your Mac and the MM cloud to be faster than every 15 minutes.
After entering a new contact and/or calendar event in the Address Book and iCal on your Mac, you can select Sync Now.
Go to System Preferences > MobileMe.
Under the Sync tab for your MM sync preferences, select show status in menu bar.
After entering a new contact or calendar event, if you don't want to wait select Sync Now from the sync status in the menu bar. This will manually sync the Address Book and iCal on your Mac with your MM online address book and calendars, which should push the change to your iPhone's address book and calendar.
