I want to share "busy/free" calendars in my new company

Quite simply we have 6 employees (all Apple company MacBooks and iPhones) and we need to share calendars to see availability etc. But we want to have some privacy about what the calendar contains (omitting private appointments, etc). So the ideal scenario would be everyone keeps two (or more) calendars, one company and one personal, a single calendar per person is shared but the personal calendar would show up as untitled/"Busy" events in the shared calendar.
We could even just share a calendar in which everything is marked as "busy" including the business events.
We've looked at Entourage but dislike the package as a whole, but like the scheduling availability option.
So, is something like this scriptable? The closest thing I can find is:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9362909
Searching for "duplicating events" or "copy to new calendar" only pulls up scripts to remove duplicates. Thanks for any help or direction you can give. I've done a couple of applescripts before, nothing quite this complicated though.

My laptop is no longer reliable. I want to share my iTunes account with my new iPad 3.   I just started viewing my iPad window on my 50 inch Panasonic wirelessly via Apple Tv 2. That amazing.    I would like to access my iTunes store via iPad for podcast

My laptop is no longer reliable. I want to share my iTunes account with my new iPad 3.   I just started viewing my iPad window on my 50 inch Panasonic wirelessly via Apple Tv 2. That's amazing.
Now I want to share my iTunes account with my Apple TV 1, and my iPad 3, without the need of booting up the unreliable laptop where I set it up last year.   do I have to use my. Pc laptop to access the iTunes store again too authorize home sharing.   I have tried it before. O for a while I thought the we're sharing, now the Apple Tv has gone back to telling me to use my computer too sign into iTunes.
there maybe a far simpler way to enjoy iTunes on my iPad and Apple Tv.   I also have the Sony blurry Google Tv. I will upgrade my PC with Windows Z8 and a screaming ran cache, ram disk on a 79 mother board and then pay 5 bucks a month for OnLive Plus that I hpe to show wirelesslypy on the big scree 50 inch Panasonic.   I have waited for years to upgrade as I wanted to help my kids in college. They are finished and so I have money fr my self.CELEBRATE

Are you using the charger and cable that came with the phone?
Are you using an unauthorized third party charger?

One Apple ID for iTunes...dont want to share photos/contacts/calendars....now what???

We have always just had the one Apple ID for the family....sync my iPod and the kids iPod along with my iPad. Just upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and hubby's iPhone 4....now our calendars have merged. We dont mind sharing apps but dont want to deal with each other calendars or contacts. Had to restore husbands phone once after upgrade bc iMessage was frozen on "waiting" ... how do I handle this when we all sync to same MacBook??

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device.
On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

How to sync Google calendar busy/free-time with iOS calendars?

A friend and I want to share our busy / free-time. We've successfully set it up and sharing, and sharing works fine on our PC / Mac laptops via Outlook and iCal respectively. Same goes for webcal. While my friend who has an Android phone can also see my busy / free-time on his phone's calendar application, I cannot select his calendar for syncing to my iOS calendar via "https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect". When my friend's calendar security is set to "share busy / free-time only", his calendar shows up on my calendar list on the syncselect page as not available for syncing. When he shares his detailed view, I can select it for syncing.
Is there a work-around so that I can see his busy / free-time on my iOS calendar just like I see it on my Mac iCal and on web-calendar? Appreciate input here ... Thank you.

I'm afraid that isn't possible. iCloud will not sync your Google calendar and Google will not sync your iCloud calendar. They are entirely separate systems. If you want to sync your Google calendar with your devices, add your Gmail account to them (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>Google) and turn Calendar on. Your Google calendar will then appear alongside your iCloud calendar in the Calendars app on your devices.

How do I share an iCloud calendar from my iPad?

I want to share an iCloud calendar from my iPad and so far I have only been able to do it from a computer by logging into www.icloud.com. When I go to www.icloud.com in Safari on my iPad, it tells me how to activate the icloud on my device and that is it. Any ideas?

You can only share a calendar from iCloud.com or iCal.

Changing calendar to enter new event on iPad 2

Hello, does anyone know how to change calendar in order that a new event is entered directly to that calendar? Do you have to change this from the default calendar to the right one on the Mac and then sync via iTunes?

You want to set the default calendar for all new appointments?
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Calendar > Default calendar.

We have 3 iPads 3 iPhones 3 Apple id's. We want to use 1 calendar we can all access on each device and have each device update or sync and we all receive notifications from the one calendar. We do not want to share photos contacts, ect. Please help

We have 3 Apple Id's, each ID using an iPad and an iPhone (3 id's, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones). We want to use one calendar on all 6 devices and have that one calendar update or sync to all devices. We would like all 6 devices to provide notifcations from the one unique calendar as well. We do not want to share contacts, photos, ect. Please suggest how to achieve this, with the name of the calendar, if I am to get one from the App store, and how to set this up. Please talk in easy terms as I am technically Challenged. Thank you. 3 iPad air 2, 2 iPhone 6 plus, 1 iPhone 4s.

Hello there MizzouTrojan,
If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Share a calendar privately
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones. We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD). Do we each need to have our own iTunes account? What about iCloud? We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

I simply want to share my calendars from home with my work iMac

I really have tried to fine the answer to this and feel a little silly for asking, but .... I just want to share some of my calendars from my home iMac with my new work iMac. I have MobileMe but when I try to join my calendars I get a message saying I cannot join calendars I'm sharing.
How do access calendars I'm 'sharing' from home on my Mac at work?
Thanks.

Assuming he works for a company, the first person to talk to is whoever is in charge of the company's network. Most company networks are firewalled, and usually won't permit access except by authorized users with company-approved VPN software.

Want to share just calendar between two iphones--will icloud do this?

The title really says it all. My husband and I both have iPhone 3GS and we want to share a calendar and hope to have it update without having to sync to the PC. Is this what iCloud will do if we choose to only turn on the calendar portion? We share an iTunes account already and sync on the same PC. Thanks so much.
Kathryn

Yes, You should see each others calenders. When in the calender app the top bar will show how many calenders sre showing. It will be either a number or all or no calenders. Tap on the "calenders" button in the upper left of the screen. That will show a list of all the calenders available. You can also add a calender by tapping the "edit" button and then "add calender".

My employer wants me to share his calendar but I do not want to share anything but his calendar. Is that possible?

My employer wants me to share his iCloud calendar, but that's all I want to share. I don't want him to have my contacts, bookmarks, etc. I only want to share his calendar on my PC. Is this possible? Also, can I sign up for iCloud on my iPod Touch using my secondary id, but then sign out right away so that this secondary account just for the boss's calendar doesn't mix w/ anything on my iPod?

That helps a lot (thanks!), but if you could please clarify one part of the instruction steps, I'd greatly appreciate it. If my boss sends me the invitation using my work email (w/ Outlook), do I still accept the invitation via iCloud.com? Will I be able to prevent him from seeing my bookmarks, contacts, etc.stored on this computer? Finally, do I have to do something to my Outlook program or via my PC's control panel to complete the process?

I want to share ical calendars.

Hi I'm running OS 10.7 on a Mac Book and an IMac.
I want to share ical calendars . I have no idea what a calendar server is and how to go about it. can someone please help.
Cheers
Whisper02

iCal Server is part of Mac OSX Server. You need a computer running this operating system which is permamently connected to the internet with a static IP number (most ISPs do not provide this to domestic users).
http://www.apple.com/support/macosxleopardserver/icalserver/
You can ask about OSX Server in its forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/servers_enterprise_software/mac_os_x_lio n_server
You can publish an 'On My Mac' calendar to a web-page (read-only) - control-click the calendar and choose 'Publish', then choose 'Private server' and enter your webspace details as indicated.

Multi ID's want to share contacts, calendar & notes, but need individual ID's for others

Family has multiple iOS and OSX devices all sharing a common Apple ID for iTunes, and we have individual ID's for Message and FaceTime. We all want to share contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and the Find My device feature via Cloud, but found that when we use the shared iTunes ID we all show up as the same person in Air Drop (and possibly other apps too). Is there a way to individualize the devices without loosing the ability to share the desired info? I've searched with no luck. Thank you!

If she created her own iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud on her Mac and signing in with her Apple ID, you could privately share your calendars with each other with read and write access as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.
Contacts would be more difficult to share. To access your contacts, she would need to sign into your account and enable contact syncing. However, when she does this, her conacts would be merged with yours. A better solution would probably be to create a Gmail account, import your contacts to the account, and have her add the Gmail account to her Mac and enable contact syncing. This would isolate just the contacts and would not merge hers with yours. If you want to do this, you would need to download your iCloud contacts as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), import the vCard to Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en), then add the Gmail account to her Mac in System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>Google, then check Contacts.
