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.

Outlook 2010 User can't access free/busy info for one resource mailbox calendar

There are a couple posts that are similar, but I haven't been able to solve this one yet.
We just recently moved our conference room calendars from public folders to proper resource mailboxes. Aside from users not RTFM on how to use them the move has been fairly painless. Until now. I have one user that can't see the free/busy info on one of
the room calendars. Just one. We are using Exchange 2010 and he is on Outlook 2010. When he tries to view a meeting in the calendar he gets an error, "Cannot open this Item. Cannot open the free/busy information."
He has no problem opening meetings for that room on OWA, so it leads me to believe it involves some temp files or cached info on his machine.
I tried using /CleanFreeBusy on his computer and it did not remedy the situation. I removed his profile and added it again which appeared to work, but five minutes later when I got back to my desk he could no longer open the meetings.
Any insight would be much appreciated. I admit I am an amateur when it comes to Exchange admin.

Remove and recreate the Outlook profile from their machine? I did this and it worked for a few minutes.
By resetting his profile do you mean removing his profile from the machine and recreating it after backing up all his user data?

My iCloud contacts is fine. The contacts in my iPhone are a mess. Tons of dupes, folks long deleted etc...How do I only have the contacts in iCloud sync to my iphone?

Download the free app My Contacts Backup. Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose Delete from My iPhone. Check the contacts on your phone. If you have any left on your phone, launch My Contacts Backup, tap the gear shaped icon on the bottom right, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. When finished, go back to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On to sync the unduplicated contacts back to your phone from iCloud.
Also, be sure you aren't trying to sync your contacts with both iCloud and iTunes or you will get duplicates.

Bought 10 gb Uploaded Iphone and IPad2, left with 2gb space. How to view pictures and other info in ICloud?

Bought 10 gb Uploaded Iphone and IPad2, left with 2gb space. How to view pictures and other info in ICloud? Can I upload documents from my desktop (Windows os)?
Thanks.

If you backed up your iphone to icloud, then there's a chance that doing a restore might bring back your photos. I say "chance" because many users have tried that (assuming they had photos turned in for backups in settings), but ended up not getting back any photos. If that happens, then they are gone.
Remember, you should have been syncing photos all along to a computer for archiving. Don't trust the pictures to an icloud backup.

How can I remove "invitations" from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?

How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
Thanks!

You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

Hi,
Please try Th3B0sS’s suggestion to check the autodiscover service and OOF, EWS service. We can open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar -
Test Email AutoConfiguration. Put your email address - uncheck use guessmart and secure guessmart authentication - click Test to check your Autodiscover service. Please collect the information in the Results and Log tab.

Windows user - outlook - no free/busy info

Howdy,
So working with SL server. Thus far very happy with it, but running into one issue. I've got a windows user, that is using his iCal (calDave) calendar thru outlook. He is unable to see free/busy information, whereas my mac users can see it. Is this a configuration issue, or just a 'you can't get there from here' issue.
I can provide more information if it is needed.
ST

I did configure the outlook user to use the iCal service.
What I did was, login to the web server, login as the user (all of this done from end users windows machine), go to their calendar, hover over the calendar name in the upper left side of the page, and an italic 'i' will appear, click on that, and an info box for that ical account will appear. click on 'subscribe to ical' It should then give you the option of what app to open this in/for. Choose outlook. It should then give you a window of subscribe to calendar url. Now i'm not in front of a windows box right now, so am working from memory. I believe in outlook you subscribe to web calendar, and paste in the url, it should look something like this webcal://serverhostname.domainname.com:8008/calendars/_uids_/144BB4E3-35CB-4F1E-BEB9-2B20E4B6B139/calendar.
Now this should allow them to retrieve calendaring information to outlook. If you want them to push their free busy schedule back, I believe you select the account, and right click and select 'publish', that will push their availble schedule to the server.
Now this is all somewhat dependent on you having mail internal, you will have to jump thru some hoops for invite replies if you have externally support mail.
I may not have these steps in all the right order, and may have been inaccurate in my instructions, so if I am, query back and I'll try to step thru it when on a windoze host.

How to remove duplicate events in my ical icloud calendars?

OS X 10.9.1
I have too much duplicate events in my icloud calendars.
How can I remove them automatically?
Is there any App available that works?
Thanks

Thats a good tip Reggie.
For anyone else reading this post, keep in mind that if you see "duplicates" with the MobileMe calendar it may mean you are seeing two separate copies of the same calendar. Before spending time deleting individual events read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505

How to share to facebook business page

Elements keep trying to link me to my personal facebook page. Can anyone tell me how to tell it to post to my facebook photography business page? I used to have this option in lightroom.

Perhaps you could ask this on Facebook forums at this link:
<https://www.facebook.com/help/community>
The reason is you need to change something on facebook page so that all uploads are reflected on a specific page and not on the page that was last used.
I don't use facebook since their new Terms & Conditions so I can't help here. Dreamweaver people may not be able to help either because the page is designed in DW.
I am of course assuming that you have one facebook account with your personal; page and a business page. If this is not so then just ignore my answer and post back so that somebody else can help you out.
Good luck.

How do I only have invited people receive the calendar notification for a shared calendar?

I work backstage for my school and me and the other techies set up a shared calendar (all of us can see, edit, and add events). But not everyone needs to go to each event. How can I make it so only the people that got invited revieve an alert (the in calendar thing to alert me say 15 minutes before the event)? as opposed to everyone the calendar is shared to.

...especially when the last time it's been updated was months ago!
(still, receiving the same notification every other day, about all the "latest" updates that were made months ago...)
Please fix the Subscriptions, thanks,
oh and,
do not pay Jive for the "new" Discussions software yet, as it still doesn't work after more than 10 months...

HT4759 how to share photo in my pc via icloud

Q1: Installed icloud in my PC and add pics in the folder. How to sync between pc & ipad?
Q2: Can I create iff. photo album in icloud and sync to ipad?
Tks for your teaching!!!!

If you added the photos to the photo stream upload folder on your PC, they should appear on your iOS devices in the my photo stream album, provided all devices are signed into the same iCloud account and have photo stream enabled.
Photo stream supportes JPEG, TIFF, PNG and most RAW photo formats.

HT4847 How do I safely free up storage in icloud?

I'm confused. If I turn off the backup for an app do I lose that app in the app store and/or on my iPad?

No, it just causes the app data for the app to no longer be included in your backup. The app will stay on your iPad, and on your purchased listed in the App store.
