Help! iCloud Calendar Sharing - diff accounts

As I'm away regularly with work, I thought it would be ideal to share my calendar (not my full work calendar but the one on my iphone which I add holidays and over night stays etc to) with him. So I went through iCloud and shared my calendar with him. Please note, we have totally separate Apple and iCloud IDs to each other.
However, on his iPhone it has now merged my appointments with his. If he deselects my calendar (in the calendar menu, it says shared by Kerry), his appointments disappear also. I asumed it would be like outlook, so he could look at his, or at mine totally separately, and that they wouldn't merge. Is there something one of us is missing here, and easy way to share mine with him but keep them as 2 distinct calendars on his phone?
Thank you!

If it helps, I'm facing a similar issue.
My wife and I both have unique Apple IDs that we use with iCloud. Different accounts with different contacts, calendars, etc.
Originally we just invited each other to the other's events. However, as we started to use the service more and mroe we realised that sharing would be better, and save the invites for occasions we'll both be present at.
So, in iCloud we invited each other to view the other's calendars. Beautiful. We can now see both calendars, on my Mac, on the phones, in iCloud.
However, it seems there are some quite egregious bugs.
When she creates an item and invites me it appears hollow in both calendars. It should appear solid in hers where it is a defines event, and hollow in mine til I either accept or decline. If I accept it appears in both, as it should.
If I decline, or accept then decline, it is removed from both calendars. Clearly, not the behaviour that is desired. Quite the opposite.
It is clear that removing an item in my calendar that originated in hers should not remove the original entry in hers.
This bug has destroyed the utility of calendar sharing completely.

Google calendar / iCloud calendar sharing

Hi --
I use iphone and my husband uses an Android. He is not interested in using icloud calendar, but we want to share calendars with eachother. I am able to see his google calendar, but when I shared my icloud calendar with him he was asked to sign in with an apple id. He is not interested in using icloud calendar does he have to have an apple id for me to share my calendar with him? It doesn't seem useful if I can't share my calendar with anyone who isn't an apple user. Please help!

http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a8694 say's:
Sharing works as follows:
Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format.
A public calendar can’t be edited by anyone but the calendar owner (the creator).
Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users.
Participants can view the calendar using iCloud Calendar, Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or the Calendar app on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think your husband would have to create an iCloud account to subscribe to private iCloud calendars then use something like SmoothSync (from Google Play) for them to appear on his phone. I can't test this so I can't be sure, but I know SmoothSync is required to view iCloud calendars on Android - I just don't know whether it applies to privately shared ones too.
You're probably better off just using public sharing. The calendars aren't publicly accessible on the web, it's just the calendar URL (which is obscure so can't be stumbled upon or guessed) doesn't require a password to subscribe to.

ICloud Calendar Sharing

Hello,
I have a couple questions regarding Calendar sharing through iCloud. My scenario is as follows:
I am the IT for a small business and I am trying to get iCloud to help out our scheduling deficencies. In our business we have many schedulings per day and we have multiple people editing/adding/changing the calendar. Right now we have more then one calendar with an attempt to consolidate to one main calendar. The problem is obvious with this scenario, we end up loosing track of what has been changed or someone forgets to add or adjust the MAIN calendar.
Now from what I understand there is a way to share a single calendar across multiple devices/iCloud accounts. Is this true?
How do you share the calendar across different accounts?
Also what do you think the best way to setup the devices? When sharing the calendar across accounts does it mark who added or edited a scheduling ie. by color coding or by iCloud ID? Should I just create one iCloud account and share that across all the different devices owned by the company? Or should I create multiple accounts for each device and share the calendar across the multiple different devices?
I think the multiple different iCloud account would be beneficial solely for the fact of knowing who made the edit or addition (if it does indeed do that some how).
Can you make an iCloud account without having an iCloud device?
Any help will be appreaciated!
Thanks,
Jm

Hi jm6001!
1) Login to https://www.icloud.com/ and then open the calendar.
2) Click in the top bar on the "Show calendars"-button. Now you can see all your calendars on the left side.
3) Beside every calendar is a "Share Calendar"-Symbol in a small circle.
4) Click on this button and you can invite other iCloud-members to view or edit this calendar.
(Please excuse my meager English.)

Icloud calendar shared reminders

I am having trouble with iCal on iCloud. I created an iClous calendar to share with my boss, but the alerts don't populate on his iPhone for the events/appointments I create.
HELP!
We really, really need him to have alerts leading up to his sceduled meetings; they pop up on my mac, but not his phone. I need it to be automatic...
Various forums talk about how to TURN OFF the alerts, but I need to do the opposite.

I have the same problem, alerts not coming across on shared calenders when the events sync properly. My wife & I have iPhones with latest IOS 5.x.x. I privately shared my iCloud calendar. She's subcribed to it and it syncs perfectly. Whenever I create a new event, it shows up on her phone within seconds. Same thing when she creates an event on the shared calendar.
Problem is, the alerts don't make it across. I typically set alerts of 30 minutes and 2-days before the event. My phone's default alert of 1-day before also goes off for 3 alerts per event. However, on her phone, no alerts goes off. Editing the event on her phone shows both alerts as none. Even her default phone alert setting of 1-day before doesn't go off either.
Anyone know how to make alerts sync across along with the shared calendar events?
Thanks.

How do I sync iCloud calendar with Googlemail account (calendar) on Mac

I keep getting error notifications coming up on my Calendar in the Mac, its related to my Googlemail account, I basically want my google calender to sync with the iCloud so when I put events onto my iCloud it will automatically link with Google Calendar.
because when I add events on my mac on the googlemail account the error pops up and does not add the event onto it (when i check my phone).
I have an andriod phone so I can not just link things through iCloud as Android does not have this app (obviously)
I wants my Googlemail account to like with iCloud and vise versa.
Thank you

Add your iCloud calendars (and Contacts if you wish) to your Android phone directly, don't try to go through Google.
You will need SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars.

ICloud Mayhem - Shared Family Account

I'm wondering if the support community can help with my family's iCloud woes because I'm at a loss.
Between the four of us we own nine seperate Apple devices, we each have an iPhone and iPad as well as a shared family MacBook Pro.
Ideally I want to be able to share the following between devices:
Music
Apps
Calendar
Beyond this it would be helpful to be able to selectively share reminders or notes when needed but not have all reminders or notes sync completely with each device. That way I could set reminders for my children and have them sync to their devices.
I also want each of us to have our own iCloud email address which only syncs between our own two devices. So each persons email would be available on their iPhone and iPad but none of the other devices.
I also don't want to have everyone's iMessages and Facetime sync between all devices. We each only want to see our own iMessages and Facetime calls.
Photostream sync is another awkward one. Ideally I would want these to sync so they could be backed-up to a single iCloud account with extra storage, rather than having to buy additional storage for several iCloud accounts.
What would be perfect is a single iCloud account with additional storage.
Selectively selecting which email alias syncs with which devices.
Selectively selecting which calendar syncs with which devices.
Selectively syncing iMessenger and Facetime to the relevant devices.
Photostream Sync
The ability to download and sync ALL iTunes and AppStore content rather than having to buy for each device.
Is all this even possible?

Welcome to the Apple community.
One approach would be for each of you to have their own Apple ID to use with iCloud, but still continue to use a family Apple ID for services such as the iTunes Store, which will mean that you can continue to share apps, music, movies etc. This way everybody would have their own email address, calendar, contacts list etc., they could also use their own Apple ID for services such as face time and messages, thereby avoiding the mayhem you have undoubtably found.
As for your requirements to be able to set appointments in other users calendars, there are several ways you could go about this. Either you could simply create the appointment in your own calendar and invite the appropriate family members. Another alternative would be to add the other family members Apple ID to your device as a secondary account in settings> mail, contacts, calendars. That way you could selectively share calendars or contacts or notes or whatever you did or didn't want to share.

Icloud calendar sharing problem

I invited my wife to see my calendar(s) such as work personal etc and works great as I type an event she sees it right away.(no problem) But then i accepted her invite(via email as she accepted mine) to her calendars(she has iphone 5) and while I can SEE her calendars(title of them in calendar listing) I cant see any events in them nor when she adds an event it does not update to my phone.
Note: This is the same on the icloud website. I SEE her calendars(titles) but NO events within them.
Is this an icloud issue or phone issue?
One confusing note: if there was issue with the apple id or simular why then can SEE the calendar? I would think I would not see calendar at all if that was the issue.
BTW I have 3gs OS is 6.1.3 and not jailbreaked or anything.
Whats going on? Thanks for your help

Same exact thing here. If you are the original owner the person you are sharing with doesnt get any notifications only in the reverse.
I really wanted this to work so that my wife wouldn't have to invite me every time she made a calendar event which was intended for the both us. Plus since its a shared calendar I would be able to edit the event vs with the invitation I can't do anything besides accept it.
I tried using family sharing inside iCloud settings vs. just sinply creating a shared calendar and got the same result.
I then created the shared folder from her phone and still behaves the same way in reverse

ICloud Calendar Sharing Notification problem

I share three calendars with a family member. I receive notifications of additions and changes from the other family on all my devices just as I should. On the other hand the other family member receives the additions and changes to her devices, but no notifications of those changes. We have done all the trouble shooting available to resolve this issue, but still no notifications. It was working fine until about two days ago. Any thoughts?

How to share an icloud calendar without sharing local calendars

I have created an icloud calendar for family use. I want us to be able to view/edit it in the Calendar app on our macs and on our ios devices. But we don't want our local (business and school) calendars uploaded to icloud. Only one of us have upgraded to Yosemite, and none of us to ios8, as we don't like the new interface. We are therefore mostly using ios7 and Mavericks, though one is using 10.6 still and another is a google phone user. Notwithstanding the last two oddities, it seems to be impossible to find a solution, even without the Calendar integration.
Does anybody have a solution for this no doubt common situation?

Hi Bill,
Referencing iCloud: Calendar sharing overview
If the other shares their iCloud calendar as public, you can add it to your Calendar without using iCloud, but you can only view it, no edits.
So here the answer is Yes.
Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format.
A public calendar can’t be edited by anyone but the calendar owner (the creator).
If you need to be able to edit the Calendar, then you need to have iCloud Calendar enabled.
Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users.
As the owner (creator) of a shared calendar, you assign edit privileges to the invitees to control who can modify the calendar.
You stated earlier, "When you configure the connection to iCloud you only have the option to merge all your calendars into one on iCloud."
That is not what happened for me. Each local calendar got "merged" with the same calendar on iCloud but each stayed separate. If some of the local calendars didn't exist on iCloud, then they were duplicated on iCloud. So for example, Home and Work local calendars became Home and Work iCloud calendars.
iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal - Apple Support
If you have local calendars, they are merged with iCloud when you set up iCloud Calendar.
That doesn't say they are merged into one big calendar.
The calendars created in iCloud are not shared by default. You need to manually share the ones you want to share. So to view someone else's shared calendar, you do not need to share your own.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
If when setting up iCloud calendars you get calendars on iCloud you do not want there, you can delete them from iCloud.
iCloud: Delete a calendar
Hope that helps. If not, please contact support for help clearing this up.
Take care,

Icloud calendar: allow editing remains on, view only

Hello Readers
Very successfully using icloud calendars sharing between family members.
The issue i have is ALLOW EDITING: ON remains on.
Each time I select OFF > edit calendar > Done > Done to close amd exit out.
it enables view and edit to the user when I login to the settings again.
We do not want the other permitted viewer/persons to edit by accident only view or events/schedules.
Suggestions?

Solved it myself. Can't do it by device have to do it by the icloud account then refresh the calendars.

How to share only free/busy info in iCloud calendars?

I currently use Google Calendar to manage my calendars, with some calendars fully shared (view full event details, read/write) with my wife.
I also have been sharing my availability with non-Mac using clients and external partners using Tungle (and am transitioning to TimeBridge, www.timebridge.com now that RIM killed Tungle). Similarly, my wife currently shares free/busy info in her personal calendar with a work colleague who is on Google Calendars as well so he can see her availability even when it is affected by non-work events.
Lately we've been having increasing trouble with random Google sync issues, so I'm considering switching to iCloud calendar sharing instead.
We would like to continue sharing free/busy info with some people, and from what I've read iCloud doesn't have this sort of functionality. Even when a calendar is shared publicly, people can view all event details -- something we definitely DON'T want clients or work colleagues to have full access to.
Is there any way to sync my iCloud calendars into a third-party site like TimeBridge or even Google Calendars so that I can share only my availability externally? Or any other workaround?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, his Mac is not local to me. I would have to drive about 30 miles each way, which is not too bad, but I won't have time to do it for a couple of weeks and I am hoping an easier solution can be found without me having to drive, especially since if the problem is on my end, that trip would be a waste of time for both of us.

I have shared my icalendars with family members via icloud and now my calendar on my computer has been stuck saying "Moving calendars to server account" for literally 5 days. What do I do?

Hi, Confused As Always CB.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Hopefully I can help resolve this issue for you. Try removing the preference to sync calendar events in iCloud preferences. Once this is down enable the preference again and see if this resolves the issue.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
If the issue persists, try all remaining steps in the article below.

I had a shared mobileme account for my work calendar- 4 people sharing call using one set of calendars. It is on my mac but not on my iphone anymore...just 3 of my calendars went to icloud. Any idea how to get the calendars from a "family" mobileme?

I had a group account on mobileme...a family pack that each of us at work had an individual account and we all shared one account in the family. It kept our work calendar- a schedule telling who is in the office and who is on call. This is still on my macBook but not on my phone or my iPad. Any idea how I make my phone show the calendars on my MacBook? It was there before I went to iCloud.

If your email account offers a webmail access, I suggest checking the webmail - log in to your account using the webmail access, and I predict you will see all those "unread" emails there and can dispose of them from there.
This happens because the iPhone that went bad, when reading those emails, did not remove them from your email provider's servier.
