Family Sharing Calendar problem

I have recently set up family sharing - with 2 members being my kids. I can share the calendar set up with my daughter on her Macbook air but my son's miniIpad cannot see his calendar on his device. As the organiser, when I change something to his calendar on my desk top - it doesn't get to my son's miniipad calendar? His ipad has been set up using his appleid etc so I really don't know what I have done wrong?

I have a very similar problem - I have family sharing set up with my husband and son - my husband on an iPhone 4 of some sort, and my son and I on 5s.  I am the organizer. My husband can see my family calendar items, and I can see his, but our family items do not push through onto my son's calendar, nor items he tries to put in to ours.  He is listed as a family member on my phone, but when I go to settings on his phone it says something like 'family sharing not available.'  all phones are running iOS 8.  My son's requests for permission to buy things do come through - if I happen to be on the phone when he asks! - so he is clearly part of the family.  But he cannot download apps WE have bought onto his phone, permission or not. My husband and I seem able to share apps without problem.  What's going on, and how do we get our son fully integrated into the family sharing program?

  • Family Sharing Calendar not "sharing" events among family members

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone has a similar issue and can shed some light.
    I've setup a Family with myself as the organizer.
    We have 2 iMacs, 1 MacBook Pro, 3 iPhones, and 3 iPads used by my three family members.
    The "Family" calendar now shows up on all devices but events made on a single device are not showing on any of the other devices.
    I've read all I can find and it appears to me that the "Family" shared calendar should sync across all family members without the need to "share" the calendar as we did in the past.
    Can anyone confirm that is the case?
    As a quick fix I simply "shared" the Family calendar (using email address's of the family members) and it is working, but this is essentially the same way we used to share a calendar.  Just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
    Thanks in advance for any insight!
    Jim

    I am having the same problem. I have done some testing and have found the following:
    If I create an event in the Family Calendar on my Mac it shares it with all devices; however, if I create a new event in the Family Calendar on any of my iOS devices it doesn't share with any of my devices including my Mac. This has only been an issue since I upgraded to iOS 8.1.
    I hope someone can help clarify if this truly is an iOS 8.1 issue and when they might come out with another update. This is a big problem for families trying to stay up-to-date with each others schedules.
    Thanks.

  • How do i show Family sharing calendar in outlook?

    i have the icloud add-in installed and i can see my personal calendar, but i would like to see the Family shared calendar as well. is this possible?

    thanks for your reply Jeff, however this does not solve my problem.
    The Family calendar is automatically created when you nable Family Sharing, as such seems to act differently from a normal calendar. i can see it on all devices and icloud.com but it is not included in Outlook when using the iCloud app for PC.

  • Family sharing calendar missing

    We are using family sharing. My daughters iPhone 5 is missing the family sharing calendar. She is on her own Apple id and is updated to the latest OS. when I look at the calendar app, the family calendar is not an option. She is set up on a child account but restrictions are not enabled in her phone. any help is appreciated.

    Hello Jacqui L Davies,
    It sounds like you may need to change the settings for access to the Family Calendar.  See if this section of the iPad User Guide applies to your situation:
    Share iCloud calendars - iPad User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPadc2a14a22
    Share iCloud calendars
    With Family Sharing, a calendar shared with all the members of your family is created automatically. See Family Sharing. You can also share an iCloud calendar with other iCloud users. When you share a calendar, others can see it, and you can let them add or change events. You can also share a read-only version that anyone can view.
    Create an iCloud calendar. Tap Calendars, tap Edit, then tap Add Calendar in the iCloud section.
    Share an iCloud calendar. Tap Calendars, tap Edit, then tap the iCloud calendar you want to share. Tap Add Person, then enter a name, or tap to browse your Contacts. Those you invite receive an email invitation to join the calendar, but they need an iCloud account in order to accept.
    Change a person’s access to a shared calendar. Tap Calendars, tap Edit, tap the shared calendar, then tap the person. You can turn off their ability to edit the calendar, resend the invitation to join the calendar, or stop sharing the calendar with them.
    Turn off notifications for shared calendars. When someone modifies a shared calendar, you’re notified of the change. To turn off notifications for shared calendars, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Shared Calendar Alerts.
    Share a read-only calendar with anyone. Tap Calendars, tap Edit, then tap the iCloud calendar you want to share. Turn on Public Calendar, then tap Share Link to copy or send the URL for your calendar. Anyone can use the URL to subscribe to the calendar using a compatible app.
    Hope that helps ...

  • Family shared calendar events not showing in Today pull-down

    iPhone 5s
    IOS 8.0.2
    When I pull down the Today/Notification screen, the calendar section will not show any events that are entered in the Family Shared calendar. Calendar events in other calendars show up fine. Is this a configurable option?

    I should fix a mistake in the original post. Where I said, "And when tomorrow comes around, those events don't show in the Calendar app," it should be, "And when tomorrow comes around, those events don't show in the Calendar section of notification centre."

  • How to publish a family shared calendar?

    In Calendar, Apple allows users to make a calendar public and share it over the internet with a webcal address.  However, I can't seem to find this function for the Family shared calendar that is automatically created when Family Sharing is activated in iOS 8.  Is there any way to publish a Family Sharing calendar so that other people can subscribe to it?

    Well, I figured a way to do this - sort of.  Note; this is NOT the most elegant solution, nor a full/real fix.  At least you will get a read only version of the Family calendar.  The caveat in this is that you require Microsoft Outlook at some point.  To make matters worse, I'm not exactly sure of the steps I took.
    My basic scenario is that our family has a Mac at home along with iPhones, but I use Windows at work.  Somewhere along the line I installed iCloud for Windows at work - and I believe during that install it saw that I have Outlook installed on my machine, and sometime during that process it created a link in Outlook to my the shared Family calendar.
    I am a bit vague on this because I don't actually use Outlook on a regular basis.  I was trying it out some time ago and never went further with it, and I only went to check it after I started looking into this Family calendar nonsense.  I note that now I can CREATE an event in Outlook and it will propagate back to Family Calendar and show up on our mobile device(s).
    Within Outlook, if you right click on the Family Calendar and select Sharing Settings (Image 1) you will find an option to "Publish a link to a read-only version of this calendar on iCloud.com" (Image 2).  Press the Copy Link button... then use that in your other application (Google Calendar for me).
    Not exactly the best solution... but until I find something else...

  • Family sharing calendar not created

    i have set up Family Sharing for two family members and myself.  They accepted my invitatioms and everything appears to be working properly, but a shared calendar wasn't created 'automatically' as promised.  The shard photo album was created and I have already approved two app purchases for my son, but am not sure what to do about the calendar.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I had this problem but my iCloud calendars were turned on.
    Tried lots of stuff but finally powered down and restarted the device and it showed up just fine.
    Keep Calm
    and
    Reboot

  • IPhone 4S Outlook 2010 shared Calendar problem

    Hello all,
    There problem to see in Outlook 2010 shared calendar in iPhone 4S. In iPhone 4S there is seen owner calendar of added Exchange Server account, but I need to see other one person shared calendar which is impossible to see. I see in iPhone 4S two calendars as added, but when I open calendar I see entries only for one account.
    Where is problem and how to solve it?
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Girts

    I had the same problem where I could open a shared calendar in OWA but it would not work in Outlook 2010. When I clicked on the shared folder I got the error message 'outlook cannot open this folder'. The problem ended up being that the person
    whose calendar was being shared was hidden on the exchange server ('hide from exchange address lists' had been selected). To resolve the issue we had to unhide the user, update the OAB on the server and then update the OAB on the desktop. We could then share
    the calendar, accept the share and then hide the user again.
    Sounds like I have the same issue too.  Where do I go to do all the resolve part?  Where do I unhide the user?  I am guessing OAB means offline address book.
    Thanks

  • Outlook 2007 Shared calendars problem

    Hi,
    We are having a problem with shared calendars in outlook 2007. A colleague went on holiday for two weeks and whilst he was away, he was seeing people accepting new meeting times sent by the PAs but despite being an invitee he wasnt recieving invites and
    his calendar didn't update.
    His calendar is shared with the PA, and she changes his appointments as and when required. Until this week, this worked no problem. Now, when she changes events on his calendar, he doesn't see the change, even when re-synched it shows no different.
    Occasionally, he will create an event himself - he did this today to show me - he created the meeting, invited the board, they all accepted, and then voila, the event was in the board's calendar (showing as HIS event) but wasn't in his calendar at all.
    I'm alright at email and exchange but I don't use and know nothing about outlook calendars (I'm still a strong believer in the Filofax ;))
    Please help!
    Jak

    So sorry -- I shut down Outlook and restarted it to find that both add-ins were now present, and everything seems to be working. Unfortunately, I don't know how to delete this thread.

  • Family Sharing Payments problem

    It appears that Family Sharing will ONLY accept a credit card as payment method.
    I live in one country and have my bank and CC in another. This won't work in iTunes.
    In my country of residence I make use of an Apple approved third party payment provider, but this is not accepted by the new function "Family Sharing"..
    In this case Family Sharing does not work for me.. ;-(

    I didn't have that problem and I don't know how to explain that BUT to overcome that problem and put family sharing to work use the alternative method.
    When you are asked to ad a famil member you can send invitation or you can ask him/her to write password directly in your device. Try this last one and lt me know, it worked fine for me

  • Shared calendar problems on Sun Outlook Sync

    Hi All,
    I'm having a few problems with Sun Outook sync ver 7.2.402.1
    In Outlook 2003, clicking the calendar icon at the bottom of the left pane, displays the calendar view. Within that calendar view, clicking �Open a Shared Calendar� displays a dialog that allows the user to enter the user name of a shared calendar. When the user name of a known shared calendar is entered, the error �Unable to display the folder. Your profile is not configured to support this operation for this user.� is displayed. This occurs also with contacts and tasks.
    I am running Windows XP sp2 (fully patched)

  • Making a family sharing calendar public

    I am trying to sync my new Family Sharing iCloud calendar with Google Calendar, and am unable to do so.  I've been able to make my OTHER iCloud calendars sync by creating "public" links, and then using icaltogcal.com to make the links readable by Google Calendar.  however, iCloud does not allow making the "Family" calendar public, only allows sharing via email address. 
    Am I going to have to abandon iCloud / Family Sharing for calendar usage, and rely solely on Google Calendar?

  • Exchange 2013 - Shared Calendar problems

    Since we put in Exchange 2013 in July 2013 we have had a problem with Shared Calendars.  Even though a User has Owner Permission on another Calendar, New Appointment is Grayed Out and the User cannot add or amend and occasionally Outlook will hang. 
    We have tried Outlook 2010 and 2013 Clients as well as Cached Mode and Online Access.  Exchange Server Standard 2013 CU2 was installed and this seemed to stop the problem for a while and now it has returned.
    Permissions have been removed and reapplied both through the Exchange Powershell Interface and on the Mailbox.  All other aspects of the system seem fine.
    Any advice would be welcome.

    Hi,
    Please check your application logs in your Exchange server. Confirm whether there are some error logs such as Event 9646.
    It may because there are too many users connect to shared calendar at the same time that cause this issue. And there is a limit on the number of items that clients can open.
    If so, we can change regedit
    on the Exchange computer to resolve this issue. For more information, please click the following KB:

  • Family Sharing Calendar and Mac

    I Am currently using a secondary iCloud account to share a calendar between my iPad, iPhone, and Mac and my wife's ipad, iPhone, and Mac. It works great.
    Will  moving to a shared calendar under Family Sharing provide anything new or better than what I have today?
    I suspect that the shared calendar would not show up on our Mac's until Yosemite.
    Thanks

    No, this is working fine for me.
    Are you signed into iCloud on all devices? Are you creating the events in an iCloud calendar? Double check that you're not using an "on my Mac" calendar to create appointments.
