Can't join calendar; already owner

My wife and I use the same Apple id for purchases and I have separate id for other use. I tried to share a calendar withe my wife while signed into iCloud with my separate id. She got the invite to join email; however, when she enters her apple id (common for iTunes) she gets the message "can't join...your're already the owner". Must she have a separate unique Apple id for calendar sharing?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Are you sure that neither of you are signed into each others iCloud account at settings > mail, contact, calendars.

Can I install Calendar Server on another partition other than root file system

Can I install Calendar Server on another partition other than / ?

In this version, the default path is hard coded to install in
/users/unison. However, if you do not have enough room on your root
partition or choose to install it in another location, you can do so
using a logical link. The installation guide explains this as well.

For example, suppose you want /users/unison, which must NOT already
exist, to be logically linked to /var/opt/unison, which must exist.
Then as root user:

<UL>
<LI>
Create the directory /users (if it does not already exist)

% mkdir /users

<LI>
Create the logical link. The directory /users/unison must
NOT exist before doing this.

% ln -s /var/opt/unison /users/unison
</UL>



makes a lot of sense. I am looking for an answer myself. My documents folder long ago outgrew it's place on the boot drive. It would be nice to keep it in the user folder organized on another disc

Can't join reminder list

I'm trying to setup a shared reminder list with my husband on our Reminders apps in mountain lion 10.8.2. When I create a new list in Reminders, there is a little "broadcast" type icon to the right of the list's name in the left panel. I click on this icon and it says: Share "list" with: and a box to put in my hubby's email address. It sent him an e-mail that says "join Jane's reminder list?" with a link that says Join Reminders. When he clicks on that, inside the email, it launches the icloud sign in. He puts in his icloud email and password and clicks on the "sign in" button, he gets: Can't Join Reminders List - Not authorized to access reminder list - and a "close" button. We can't figure out what to do to fix this.
We are able to share calendars through iCloud using the same sort of setup, but reminders isn't working.
Any ideas?
Just tried again and now its hung on the "signing in" with a little wheel that keeps going round and round and round...

I am having a similar problem—my existing shared calendars continue to function, but I am unable to setup a new share. It appears to work correctly on the 'sharer' side, but when the 'sharee' clicks join calendar, a message says "This calendar can't be joined because it's no longer shared."
I am also having a perhaps related problem where I cannot send event invitations from one user to another—the invite message never comes through to the invitee.
Noticed this for the 1st time today. I've tested it with re-sharing an existing calendar, and by creating an entirely new calendar.

Can I join the partnership without creating a new website?

I have a client who already has a business catalyst website, which I would like to edit in Dreamweaver. Can I join the partnership program somehow without having to go through the process of creating a new website which I don't need?
Also, I am unclear on how to get the dreamweaver extension.
thanks!

Hi,
For DW extension it depends on what version of CS you are working under. If CS4 or CS5 you'll need to install the plugin.
- http://www.businesscatalyst.com/support/dw
If using the latest CS6 it's already integrated into DW. - http://www.businesscatalyst.com/dw/templates_video.html
As far as editing your client's site you can just have the client add you as a site admin. This will allow you to edit as required.
Kind regards,

Can I join a trailer and iPhoto slideshow?

I am trying to do a dvd of my granddaughter. There are aroud 500 pictures. I'm trying to do a slideshow in IPHOTO. I've already done a trailer in IMOVIE. Can I join the two?

First expor the trailer by going to the Share Menu > Export Movie... (chooose the large size)> And save it to your desktop. In iPhoto if you can export the Slide show to a .mov file or share it to iTunes you can most likely get access to the final video file it creates. the idea is to get two self-contained complete video files, then import them into a new iMovie Event. Then drag those two files into a new Project, combining them into one final video project.
Export that final project using the Share Menu > Share to Media Browser (choose Large Size). Once it's completed exporting the video project, quit iMovie. Open iDVD click the Media Button, then click the Movies button and look for your project title under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Then drag that project into the iDVD project window, and burn your DVD.

Ical 5.0.1: Subscribed calendar already exists (phantom calendar)

So it looks like a few people have this problem but no one has reponded with working answer. I thought I would try again. So my particular issue is that I am trying to re-subscribe to a calendar that I have previously deleted but iCal is telling me that the calendar already exists. I don't see the calendar listed in my subscribed calendars listing anywhere or anywhere else for that matter so I am trying to understand how I can completely remove this subscribed calendar so that I can re-subscribe to it.
I have 2 other subscribed calendars that I have deleted and re-subscribed to and didn't have any issues. Just this one calendar. I did noticed that I was using icloud to sync my subscribed calendars to my icloud.com account but I have removed that setting and tried to re-subscribe again but no luck.
Is there a way that I can delete the phantom calendar either or reset my iCal complete so that I can set it up as if it were a first time launch?
The reset might be the best approach if it can be done since my subscribed calendars are also not respecting the colors that I have assigned them (they are all grey).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
I'm still having this issue and would really like any suggestions if anyone knows of any. Basically, I need to view my calendar that doesn't have any events so I can change the password and get any new events for it.
Because the calendar app does not show the calendar in the calendar listing if it doesn't have any events (not smart btw), I don't have a way to change its information. And attempting to re-subscribe gives me the error that the calendar already exists.
Is there a way that I can view "all" calendars even if they are hidden or don't have any events scheduled for them so that I can change the login credentials? This issue is on the calendar app version 6.0 build 1645 on my mac os x laptop.
I know there has to be a way to do this but I just can't seem to find it and googling is not turning up any results. Even searching my my keychain for the login information and the systems preferences has not shown me anything.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I have found an Ipad 3 I believe it was stolen. How can I contact the previous owner to buy it from him ?

I have bought in a flea market an Ipad 3 Wifi only I believe it was stolen. When I bought it the battery was discharged so I couldn't verify it for being locked (stolen). After I charged it and turned it on it's locked in Icloud.
How can I contact the previous owner to buy it from him ?
I don't have anything. The Ipad is Icloud locked. It only shows : s********@googlemail.com
I am willing to buy the Ipad from previous owner.
Thank you

I don't know what you want to hear, but no one here can help you. apple will not help you.
What you're dealing with is the activation lock, where it's required for the person that sets up the iPad to 'release' it to be used by someone else.
There's no hack or crack. There's no assistance anyone here can give you beyond the suggestions we already have.
Use your imagination. Or use the ipad as a pretty new paperweight.

Can't use Calendars, Cards and Books- lost themes?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum but I think this is more a problem with how I installed it rather than anything related to the actual products.
Whenever I click on calendars already created, or on new calendar it keeps telling me that there are no themes installed and that this function won't work until they are- I think this might be because rather than installing the whole iLife 08 suite- (I didn't want the new iMovie) I simply dragged the previous installation I'd done on another mac (I bought a family pack) on to my iBook.
So does anyone know where I'd find the themes or where to install them?

Sri, Theo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
simply dragged the previous installation I'd done on another mac (I bought a family pack) on to my iBook.
Installing iPhoto that way didn't install all of the necessary support documents, including the themes. Delete the iPhoto application and install iPhoto, custom install to install only iPhoto, from the iLife 08 disk. Then run the iPhoto 7.1.1 and iLife Support 8.1.1 updaters. That will get you the themes back.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I see Calendar event END times at a glance?

How can I display my Calendar event titles exactly as I type them? I do not want Calendar to remove duration from the titles of my events. Otherwise I can't see event END times at a glance in month view; only start times. How can I "trick" Calendar to just show my titles as I type them - as I always could before I upgraded. I used to be able to enter "Seminar 9am-5:45" and it would appear that way regardless of how or what I chose to enter (or not enter) for duration.
I am running OSX 10.9.3.

It's a bit weird, but if you type in the time info TWICE into the event title then Calendar uses/deletes one of them to populate the event details and leaves the other.

I have added a work colleague to my family's members on iCloud so we can share the calendar for work appointments. However whe heakes purchases on iTunes I now get charged. How can I stop this happening?

ive added my work coleague to my iCloud account so we can share the calendar on our I-phones for work appointments. when he makes a purchase on iTunes i now get charged though so how do I stop this from happening? also can I just share only work appointments or do i have to share the whole calendar with him? Can I select what he sees?

Hi Frantic503,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Have a great day,

Looking for calendar app that can sync multiple calendar colours in outlook

I Have multiple colour categories in my calendar but need a calendar app that can sync with outlook. Do NOT want to sync with google calendar. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones.

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones. We both have company email addresses. I have had to install and uninstall my gmail info on my iPhone multiple times due to errors sending and receiving emails from my company email address on my phone. For some reason, all of my emails are getting stuck in my outbox when my gmail account is installed on my phone. When I delete it, my emails get sent automatically. This is really annoying! I would do without the gmail account, but I need to share calendars with my husband. How do I fix this?

If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

How can I print Calendar week from iPad?

How can I print Calendar week from iPad?

Aside from taking a screen shot of the Calendar in week view and then printing that from the camera roll, you will need a third party app. I have seen this one recommended in the past .... CalPrint for iPad.

I can't sync Calendars after upgrading to 1.2

I've just upgraded my iTunes to version 7 and my 5th Gen iPod to version 1.2.
Before this I could sync the calendar in Outlook quite happily (I always got a warning from my security software first)
Now it says that it is unable to sync the Calendar.
What do I need to change to get this to work ?
Windows XP

I've had the same problem since upgrading to v. 7 of itunes and a host of other problems have also appeared.My events on the calendar have been wiped out on my iPod and I have been unable to sync to get them back.
On frequently asked questions I found this possible answer which is cut and pasted below. I think we may not be able to synch Outlook anymore because it says to open up and drag, not sync, but other calendars might work. What is going on, Apple? I need a patch soon.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60920#faq27
Question: How do I update my calendar on my iPod?
Answer: iTunes can automatically transfer calendar data stored in iCal to your iPod. To enable syncing of your iCal calendars:
1. Open iTunes and connect your iPod to your computer.
2. Select the iPod icon in the source pane of iTunes.
3. Click the Contacts tab.
4. Enable the "Sync iCal calendars" checkbox.
iPod also supports industry-standard iCalendar and vCalendar files, which can be exported by many applications including Microsoft Entourage, Microsoft Outlook, and Palm Desktop. iCal also works with the iPod calendar. Simply drag your iCalendar or vCalendar files to your iPod, and you can access your calendar even when you are away from your computer.
