How do I create a group calendar in iCal Server 3?

Hello everyone,
I have set up a Mac Mini server to address the calendaring needs of my company. I have also turned on the iCal service using the Server app in the Lion OS. While the shared calendaring functions for individual users of iCal are great, my company is in need of general office calendar for postings of things like vacation times, company holidays, special conferences, etc. Is there a way to configure the Mac Mini server to allow the setup of such a calendar?

Okay, with everyone's help, I believe I have found a resolution to this issue. I am very grateful to everyone who has contributed this discussion. Your help has been invaluable.
1. The first thing I did was to ensure that the iCal and Wiki servers were both running.
2. Next, I created a user whose sole purpose was to create wikis on the server. (In retrospect, I probably didn't have to do this, as any administrative account, which is what I have, can also make wikis).
3. I then created a wiki. To do this open up your Web browser and enter in the name of your server followed by "/wiki" (no quotes). An example of this is servername.local/wiki. (If you are unsure as to whether or not DNS on your local network is working, you can enter the IP address of the server followed by /wiki).
4. Next login into the wiki by clicking on the lock icon in the toolbar. (You can use the account you created earlier or any admin account on the iCal server for login).
5. Click the Wikis button.
6. Click the plus sign in the toolbar, then click New Wiki.
7. Enter a name and optional description. It is much better to enter a short name with no spaces. This will matter in a later step.
8. Next you will see the Set Wiki Access dialog box. Here is where you can enter users of the wiki (calendar), and their permissions (i.e. Owner, Read-Write, etc.).
9. When done with the previous step, click create, and you should be taken to the "welcome" page of your wiki.
10. Click the gear icon in the toolbar then select settings.
11. Select Services in the sidebar, put a check into the Calendar box, and select Save.
12. You should now see a link for Calendar underneath your toolbar. Select it, then select Settings to adjust your timezone settings, etc.
13. You can log out of the wiki at this point.
14. Go to one of the users who was given access to the wiki in step 8.
15. Open iCal -- Preferences then select the Accounts tab.
**Now here is where things get "tricky."**
16. It is likely that this user has a functioning account on your iCal server. If you go to the Server Settings tab of the account and check the Server Path, you will see an entry similar to /principals/__uids__/longstringofalphanumericcaharacters/.
17. Replace the long string of alphanumeric characters with "wiki-wikiname" (no quotes). The wikiname is the name you entered in step 7.
18. Close the iCal preferences box, and close iCal.
19. The user may be prompted to re-enter his/her password. Do so, and afterward you should be have access to the wiki-based group calendar.
UH OH...what about the user's normal account?!?!?!
20. Go back into the account preferences tab of iCal and re-add the user's normal iCal account with his/her normal credentials. All of the user's calendar information should return because it is on the server and backed up regularly...right?
This solution appears to be working for me so far. I have verified that users who can only read from the wiki calendar do not have the ability to edit the calendar. Of course, those who can edit the calendar are able to do. These test users are also able to use their normal iCal accounts without any issues.

How can I create a new calendar on iCal iPad 2????

I need to create a new calendar on iCalendar from my iPad 2? The app doesn't have the "new calendar" button like the Mac version.

Wait until iOS 5 is released on wednesday, then you will be able to create them directly on the iPad - from http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#more :
Add, rename, and delete calendars directly from your device.
Until then you can only add calendars by syncing :
You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
or
In Settings on iPad, turn on Calendars in your MobileMe, Google, Yahoo!, or Microsoft Exchange account to sync your calendar information over the air. If your company or organization supports it, you can also set up a CalDAV account

Olga, this is not a default feature in iPhone. You need a 3rd party application. I have created a free one, Easy Group, for group texting and group emailing.

Can I create a new calendar in ICal on my IPad?

Tap and hold a file. When it starts to shake, drag it on top of another file. This will create your folder. By the way, you can't create any nested folders (folders inside of folders).

How do I create a group calendar?

Hi All,
It is still unclear to me on a fresh 10.6 install how to create a group calendar (using only the Apple server administration utilities) such that all members of a given OpenLDAP group can also subscribe to and share the same calendar if they are members of that group.
As best I can tell, there does not appear to be anything about this in the documentation. I thought this was something that was going to be supported via the server-admin tools in 10.6 without resorting to the command line.
Maybe I'm just not seeing something obvious in the tools or documentation?

fyi none of my groups were available unless i logged into the wiki as the Directory Admin not Server Admin

Could you be more specific farmer tan, please?
You said "you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there...." What is the "wiki page" you mention? Is that some place I go to via the browser or the Server Admin tool?
I went to http://ical.mysite.com/ical/ and logged in as the Directory Administrator but didn't see anything resembling what you described.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Can I create a shared calendar on iCal from the New iPad?

My company just gave out iPads for use to all field employees. My coworkers and I currently have an Outlook shared calendar that we utilize for scheduling our work. We can not access the shared calendars on our iPads, therefore I would like to create a shared calendar in iCal that we can all access for sharing our schedule as we were doing on Outlook. Is this possible?
NOTE: The idea is that I would like to use the iPad as the sole resource, instead of carrying our laptops around just to access the shared outlook calendar/schedule. The laptops are outdated junk that requires roughly 20 mins of time just to power up, connect and sign in to our servers...very inefficient.
Thank you!

I have a bluetooth 2 keyboard from Brookstone, will it work with the iPad?

How can I create a new calendar that starts the week on monday?

Excel can do it, but I really like the template for calendars in numbers. That calendar is for printing it, so i don't need any special functionalities, only the template, with blank cells i can hand-write in.
Thanks!

Hi And95es,
The Calendar template is very clever. Changing it to start on Monday would be a huge task. Here is an idea for a non-automatic calendar. Start with a table for month and year. Hide the table name if you like.
A1 is a pop-up menu to choose a month. Type the year in B1. I am trying to come up with a formula to show the day of the week for that month and year in B2. This is because you will have to type a 1 into the correct day in the calendar table to generate dates for the whole month.
Create an outline calendar like this:
A2 contains the number 1
B2=A2+1 and fill right
A4=G2+1
B4=A4+1 and Fill Right.
Now select Row 4 and copy.
Paste into every second row below.
Format the table to make cells big enough to write in. Save as Template because you are about to make a calendar and you will need the template for next month.
Type a 1 into the cell that is the first of that month. Now clear contents of cells you don't need.
It would be handy to have a formula to show weekday for the first of the month. Not essential!
Regards,
Ian.

How can I add my own calendars in iCal?

I have recently added new calendars to iCal (File>New Calendar Group) in preparation to import my google calendars (previously exported). However when I am prompted to choose the calendar in which to import the data, the options I have created are 'greyed' out. How do I activate these calendars so I can choose them?

Hi
You need to create a calendar (File -> New Calendar). With calendar groups you can group several calendars but you need calendars, as only calendars can contain events.

How do I create a separate calendar in iCal?

I want to create a separate Calendar for our nanny listing just the kids various activities. Thanks.

How is the nanny to be accessing the calendar? Viewing it on the Mac or printout?
Really need some more info to find the best solution for you. You can always add a new calendar, and just uncheck other calendars visibility, or create one and save a copy to /Users/Shared and have a Nanny login to add the calendar, or publish it to .mac/mobile me or other server and have nanny subscribe etc. on her own Mac login, or just create a google calendar for strict web view.
Just need more info and specifics.

How can I sync my local calendars in iCal with Leopard?

I have a number of local calendars that I've been exporting to FileMaker into my /user/Library/Calendars folder, and syncing in iCal. I was using, as an example, "http://localhost/~johnnolan/bookings.ics" as a URL in iCal.
Now, with Leopard, my calendars don't refresh, and if I re-enter the url that had worked, I get this message:
"Connection to the server localhost was refused"
How can I fix this?

I find that I can sync fine with Entourage and I cal under Leopard. I can also subscribe to the Leopard I-calendar on another computer (running Tiger). However, the calendar will not go onto a web page as it used to; this is very frustrating for my colleagues! We need a fix here I think.

I can't add a entry in a shared calendar on iCal (Mountain Lion) but on iPhone it is ok

My Partner is sharing her business calendar with me. (view and edit)
In the past I was able to add calendar enties on my MacBook, iPhone and iPad. Since a couple of days, I can do this only on the iPhone & iPad but not on the Macbook Pro. (Mountain Lion) I can see the entries, I can change time and so on, but i can't select the shared calendar in the edit window.
Anybody has a clue what is going on?
Thanks

See if you can go to your Calendars App and select a previous event to see what Calendar the event was added to (iCloud or Yahoo). After that is determined you can go to www.iCloud.com or calendar.yahoo.com and add the event there to see if it will populate on your device. Another troubleshooting step is deleting the iCloud account from your device and also deleting the Yahoo account. Then check to see if you can add an event without it syncing to a email. If you can then it may have just been a bug and you can add both accounts back and try adding the event again. I would also recommend only using one service to sync your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. Such as either iCloud only or Yahoo only, as using multiple accounts means your data is spread around and can be hard to isolate when something goes wrong.
