How do I create an ical server?

I want to share my iCal between two people. I want each person to be able to edit events. Is there a simple free caldav that I can use?

Hey there,
I was looking desperately for the same thing...syncing calendars and address books between the family's computers. I tried a bunch of 3rd party apps and utilities that were less than spectacular. Even used Now Up to Date and Contact for a year or two...until I couldn't take it any more.
The simplest answer to this was right in front of my eyes...
.Mac
Check it out, with 1 .Mac account, I put 3000 contacts and a 5 busy family calendars on .Mac and it works great. Everyone can add/edit/delete events & contacts and they stay in sync.
I have no use for a .Mac email account or it's web page stuff, but reading up on the syncing did the trick.
http://www.apple.com/dotmac/sync.html
I'm pretty happy.
PS - One small caveat, they're doing some maintenance to .Mac syncing right now and there's been some crankiness on the discussion boards, but in general, it's working for me.

  • How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?

    How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?
    Let's say the SQL Server and Oracle Database are in the same Company Internet Network.
    I have the code, but I do not know how to use it. Such as what is System DSN Name? Where could I get it. What does it look like?
    Do I need to install any Oracle Client Software in order to link from SQL Server to Oracle? Or SQL Server has the built-in drivers installed already that I can directly create a Linked Server from SQL Server to Oracle?
    I need to know details. Thanks.
    USE master
    go
    EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
         @server  = '{Linked Server Name}'
        ,@srvproduct = '{System DSN Name}'
        ,@provider  = 'MSDASQL'

    You need an OLE DB provider for Oracle. There is one that ships with Windows, but it only supports very old versions of Oracle. Oracle has an OLE DB provider that you can use. I don't know if it's part of Oracle Client or how it is bundled.
    You should not use MSDASQL or any DSN.

  • How can I create a portal server authentication user with a batch

    hi,
    I am trying to import users into the portal server emulating the create user procedure as plumtree. What I cannot understand at the moment is which classes are involved in the sequence of creating a user.
    the problem starts from the fact that I have used a synch WS and it works but, being the table a dummy one and the users to be authenticated by the portal server, I couldn't use that synch as a definitive.
    I tryed using plumtree.server.CIPTUser class with no success. could not understand how to actually create the user after setting the parameters to the object.
    Is there any documentation explaining how to create the portal server emulation of create user. this could be usefull for all those cases when there is no central repository of user and passwords.
    thanks
    Mario

    This should get you started.
    IPTUser=IPTSession.GetUsers.Create(iAdminFolderID)
    IPTServerContext=IPTUser.GetInterFaces("IPTServerContext")
    IPTServercontext.Store
    This is a high level implementation. It should get you very close.
    thanks,

  • HT2488 How do I create an iCal Alarm to delay send an e-mail in my Drafts folder of Mail?

    I've learned how to use iCal Alarm to schedule sending an e-mail.  However, all of the instructions I read say that I have to type the e-mail inside the automator's "New Mail Message". Is there a way to type the message in Mail, save it in drafts, and then create an iCal Alarm to schedule sending it?
    I got as far as "Get Specified Mail Items" --> "Display Mail Messages".  This sequence displayed a message in Drafts.  What next to get it to send that message it displayed?  I tried adding "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.  And I tried adding "New Mail Message" --> "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.
    Sometimes there will be several e-mails I want to delay send (some that I started earlier in the day, saved in Drafts and finished up in the wee hours of the morning) and it seems a waste to have to create a new iCal Alarm for each. 
    Thank you!

  • How can I get the iCal server to work correctly?!

    We are a business that uses Apple software and products for everything! For a while we've been having an issue with iCal - it seems when an invite is sent we are unable to accept, we click 'accept' but the message is never sent, so then it looks like we're ignorning the request (which of course can look un professional). We have approached various IT companies and all they seemt o sugegst is using a different Mail Server (such as Kerio, Exchange etc) as a fix, which of course is quite costly, especially when we believe, that iCal should be  able to work effectively for a growing business.
    We've deleted users from the server, added them back on...the only way they can accept invites is if they keep it on the local calendar, which of course isn't any good to us as we share the calendars, therefore it needs to be on the server.
    I'm really hoping there is something someone out there can tell me to help us! I am loosing hope and I am reluctant to fork out for such costly solutions as Kerio when I know iCal server can work. Please help! If you need any further information please let me know.
    Thanks

    One product that I have used, when there is a poorly formed AVI header is Digital Video Repair (cannot recall if it is freeware, or shareware), BUT it is likely that your file's header was NEVER written, so no amout of "repair" will succeed. Still, might be worth a try?
    With many AVI's, the header often comes first, where with some other formats, like MPEG-2 and WMV, the header is the last part of the file. Could be that the header of the AVI is just incorrect, such as with the Duration. Only a test will determine if you can repair the file.
    Good luck,

  • How do you create database in server administration

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say you want to create a "database with data.car extension".  CF is a web application server, not a database server.
    Information about connecting to databases can be found in the CF documentation.  See:

  • How do i create two ical accounts.

    I've recenly brought a new mac. But both my boyfriend and i want to sync our iphone to ical without recieving each others notifications. Is this posible?
    thanks

    Beavis2084:
    Expired .mac accounts HAVE NO EMAIL. You own the id (which iTunes requests to be spelled in form of an email)
    Also, FREE .mac accounts have no email either.
    What you see in the screenshots is what I'm saying:
    There's been a change in the way iTunes wants you to login. The iTunes reps see at their end what you see at the top of the window, which probably is the "migration" of the new login: Old login system, using ID (in form of email for iTunes)
    BELOW you clearly see where says "ID" and both have the email as login.
    (again, that .mac email doesn't exist and NEVER DID)
    That's the NEW login: your EMAIL.
    I'm sorry I didn't explain it better the first time. I wrote about this so many times to iTunes support reps to prevent them to "read" what their system says that I gave it for settled. (not to mention that my first post was removed because "it lacks of interest for others"
    I own an apple ID, given away with the purchase of a new computer (nothing small by the way) and when that happens (and never subscribe for a paid membership), you use ANOTHER email to be related to your account.
    Now that AGAIN apple asks you for using your EMAIL (non-apple in our case) instead of your ID (which you can't use or you will never get a notification again!) the system believes there are two accounts.
    It's like your credit card bank changing the address for sending the payments. You are STILL paying, but getting a higher rate because their CHANGED the address and the check never arrives.
    In this case, signing in with a different string, makes the system believe there are two accounts. And that probably is under the policy which probably states purchases are not charged twice for SAME ID, and SAME iPhone… and you used a different ID, so it must be fair (sarcasm). Who told you to do so? Bad boy!

  • How to create a mult-server server farm?

    Hello Community
        Let's say you create your Sharepoint 2013 Server farm.
        How do you create a Search and Application Server on a separate physical
    server and how do you create an SQL Server on a Separate physical Server
    and finally adding those Search and Application Server and SQL Server
    to your Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    Hi,
    Once you are done with SharePoint installation on one server you are going to add further Application server or Web front end server as per your requirement and finally you will configure the service on your farm.
    For setting up the multitire SharePoint farm first of all you need to install the below given  prerequisites on
    one server.
    Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
    Windows Management Framework 3.0 (CTP2)
    Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Native Client
    Windows Identity Foundation (KB974405)
    Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64)
    Windows Server AppFabric
    Microsoft Identity Extensions
    Microsoft Information Protection and Control Client
    Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.0
    Cumulative Update Package 1 for Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server (KB2671763)
    After installing the SQL server you Just run the SharePoint product and technologies configuration wizard and follow the steps
    to add a sever to an existing farm.
    Actually as per your question you need to set up a three-tier farm configuration consists of two front-end web
    servers, an application server, and a database server. The deployment sequence and configurations that are described in this article are based on recommended best practices. While the farm configuration is not complex, it provides a fundamental infrastructure
    to implement a SharePoint 2013 solution on similar — or more complex farms.
    In this article:
    Overview
    Prepare the farm servers
    Install SharePoint 2013 on the farm servers
    Create and configure the farm
    Add web servers to the farm

  • Icloud with ical server

    I have been able to successfully set up icloud syncing with my mac and iphone with the "work" and other home based calendars.  However, I run a business and I have ical server running with my business calendards.  How do I get the ical server calendars on the icloud?

    It is impossible to sync your iCal Server contacts through iCloud.
    However, you can add your iCal account directly to your iPhone. Just go to Settings -> Mail, Contact & others -> Add account -> Other -> Add CalDAV account, and fill out the form with your iCal server detail.
    You need to be of course in the same LAN as your server to make the sync work, or make it "public" by forwarding CalDAV ports on your router/firewall. In the second case, make sure you connect only over SSL (port 443) and not the unsecured 80.

  • Backup/Migrate iCal Server

    How would one migrate the iCal Server from one Lion Server to a new Lion Server?
    And related to this question: how do you export the iCal Server data for backup purposes?

    Well, the postgres does a data dump daily ... but Apple does not provide an easy restore.
    Contact Apple.  I think I'd like to start a petition on this.

  • 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?
    Maximus. Prime

    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 do I put a newly invited event into my iCal server calendar?

    Hi There,
    We recently bought a mac-mini server which is running Snow Leopard Server for our office, and we have configured the server (using iCal Server 2) to store everybody's calendars.
    Everyone is using iCal to access there calendars off the server and the basics are working ok (sharing etc).
    An issue arises when someone attempts to create an event and invite another user in the office, the invitation is sent correctly but when the user receives the invitation and tries to add it to there calendar it is added to there local calendar, not the server calendar.
    So my question is how do I make it so any newly added event is put into my server calendar, not one of my local calendars?
    thanks for any help.

    Bear with me because my system is Italian, but we'll work it out together: iCAL will provide you with myriads of calendars, even those of football team schedules in Oklahoma.
    In my system, I go into iCAL, click on the menu at the top "Calendario" ("Calendar" obviously) and study the roll-down menu. I found "Trova iscrizioni" which might simply be something like "find calendars" "find entries". In any case, it is the item at the bottom of the roll-down "Calendar" menu.
    Be prepared for a bit of scrolling, unless there is an index I missed.

  • How to have iCal Server share one or more calendars?

    Hello everybody.
    I'm really new to iCal Server, and I'd like to be able to create and share one or more calendars for a couple of users. I'm running Mac Mini with OSX SL Server 10.6.5 and have iMacs with the same OS.
    Any how-to or such, to read and step-by-step configure the stuff?
    I'm already looking at the Apple PDF (from Resources) but I'm stuck where it tells me to create the SRV record: I don't know which fields to fill in with the infos provided.
    Any help will be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    F.

    Yes, it is Flavio.
    There are other threads that claim you can disregard the manual in this respect. I tried disregarding it. It'll seem to work. Then within days users will complain of intermittent (1) "calendar not found", (2) "lack of permissions", and (3) "conflicts with client-side versus server-side" errors.
    Creating the SRV is essential in this, because it's registering the iCal service with DNS, and DNS is telling the client how to involve the server in the service. To be technically accurate, the server does have a default response when the SRV doesn't exist, so, yes, it will work at times..., but it's hard to explain this to your users when they're asking you about clicking through error dialogs every five minutes. "What do I do here? Should I be worried about this?" You'll be pulling your hair out. I was. Once I had the SRV up, though, the errors have entirely disappeared.
    In addition to the things in my last post, having Push Notifications working is also wonderful. Follow the steps in the manual, but basically it involves turning Push on before starting up iCal.
    Lastly, there's the question of moving users' old calendars (which are client-based) over to the iCal server (which is server-based): You can't just import-then-export, or you'll find other, nagging errors (basically of type "3", above). As far as I've been able to tell, if the user's calendar contains events where they're not the organizer (and it will), you'll get errors because the user has now assumed an event they don't own. The errors you'll get are basically the server asking, "Who owns this thing? I don't get it."
    Sadly, the only way around this is I've found is for the end-user to context-click on each old event and move it to the new calendar. When the calendar options there are ghosted, they'll know they have an event they don't own.
    But once you get past this point, it works beautifully. Users get really excited, because they now see the wonderful opportunities they now have. And that makes you feel it was worth it (especially when you think of how much they'd be spending on Exchange).

  • Step by Step : How to Create an SSL Server Certificate (Part 3)

    How to Create an SSL Server Certificate (Part 3)
    In the previous part you have completed step 10, now you are almost there.
    Step 11:
    This is another very important step.
    Leave the settings as is or tick more options if you know what you do.
    Step 12:
    Again leave as it is.
    Step 13:
    Another important step !
    In the DNS Name field enter the host name(s) separated by spaces (or commas), e.g.
    myserver.name.private myserver.dyndns.org
    You can enter your local IP if you wish.
    Step 14:
    Certificate Assistant now procedes to create your certificate. Within a few seconds you should see the new certificate in your Keychain.
    Switch to Server App (if at this stage Server App has crashed, don't worry , re-open Server App and proceed.
    Repeat step 2 described in Part 1 and select the new certificate from the drop-down menu of available certificates.
    You may want to use this certificate for all services (iChat, iCal, Mail, Web) or create different ones.
    If you use the same certificate for all services the name of the certificate is diplayed next to "SSL Certificate", if you don't you will see "Custom" instead.
    Addendum:
    1. Do not forget to open port 443 in your router to enable https connections.
    2. Enable SSL in your iCal account settings if you wish.
    Enjoy your server !
