ICal: public AND shared editing?

Is there a way to make a calendar public, so others can subscribe to view-only, but also editable by more than just the owner? For example, my colleague and I would both like rights to edit a calendar, and we want to share it with a larger group for viewing-only. Thanks for your help!

Hello bgrayacs,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Calendar: Share iCloud calendars
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11552
Select how you want to share the calendar.
If you select “Only the people you invite,” you can specify people to share the calendar. Click Add (+), type a person’s email address, and then select read-only access or read-and-write access in the Privilege column. To invite another person, click Add again.
Best of luck,

ICal, Exchange2007 and shared calendars

Hi there,
as there's no dedicated iCal topic I thought I'd dare to post this here, it's the most appropriate.
Just installed my brandnew snow covered cat, connected Mail/Addressbook/iCal to our company's Exchange2007, so far, so good.
Now, I'd like to open shared calendars (that's what they're called in Outlook) in iCal. This is NOT the same thing as a delegation! Has anyone gotten this to work? What am I missing?
thanks a lot
simon

*+"are you talking about calendars within the public folders, or the calendars of colleagues and resources that have been shared with you?*"+
Yes, this needs clarification.
Perhaps this needs to be a separate thread but for me, I'm talking about the calendars that can be created within the public folder. Several years ago using Entourage, I created a scheduling calendar in the public folder that I can specify who gets access and in what capacity. The problem with Mail/iCal is there seems to be no way to view the public folder or it's contents. It's the same problem on an iPhone.

Mail - subscribe public and shared mailboxes

Hello, I have the same business account IMAP on the iPhone, and now on the iMac. On the iPhone you can see all shared boxes (shown by themselves), and on the iMac subscription list is empty. Does anyone know how to synchronize your account settings? Theoretically, they are identical ...

ICal - secretary and sharing - HELP!

Hi There
I've been searching for some answers to some questions and cannot get any answers! Any help, hugely appreciated.
I have multiple calendars on my iCal - one for work, one for personal, one for special days, etc. I work in an office where we have both PC and Mac users. I would like to have the ability for an assistant to be able to:
Access my work calander (but not the details), and be able to schdule appointments in my calender too - which will be updated on all my devices via icloud. Is this possible? It would save me huge amounts of time and streamline my life!
Any help/comments/advice welcome.
Thank you

Should be straight foward, i presume you use seperate calanders in iCal. When you connect your iPhone, press the info tab in itunes on the page for your ipod. There you will see the settings for calanders. You can then choose which calander you wish to sync to the iPhone. If you select both, on th iphone you in calander, there is a button that takes you to a menu (calanders, top left) which shows you all the calanders you can view an individual calander or 'all'.

Are making, editing, and sharing slideshows any easier with 11?

Are making, editing, and sharing slideshows any easier with 11?
I have 09 and a lot of people seem to prefer it to 11.
In 09 I gave up on trying to figure out making slideshows that fit the timing of a song and could then be sent to youtube.
I know it could be done but it wasn't easy like sending movies to youtube from imovie 09.

It's little changed. If you're timing cutting slideshows against a track in a precise way it will always require a timeline, so you will always be better off with a video editor.

Entourage, iCal, Exchange Server, public and private calendar items, PDA

Hello all.
I'm a recent escapee from Windows to MacOS, and I need your help to complete my switchover. I've got a complex calendaring situation I'd like to solve.
I have a new Mac at work and one at home. At work I need to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server public calendar so I can set up appointments with others and they can see my calendar. But, I don't want private appointments to show up to others on the public exchange server calendar. In my calendaring app I do want to see one unified calendar on my machine at work and at home with both public and private appointments.
Also I want to get a PDA that will deal with both public and private appointments, and synchronize appropriately to both work and home calendaring apps. This should also show one unified calendar with all appointments.
Is there a right combo of software and PDA to accomplish this? My investigation so far points to Entourage at work (to work properly with Exchange Server), iCal or Entourage at home, and a PalmOS-based PDA. But I am unclear how the public-private stuff would work.
The final part of this once I figure out the right software and PDA combo, is to import all my calendar stuff, emails and contacts from Microsoft Outlook on my Windows box to my Mac at home. I think Outlook2Mac does this but I'm not sure which calendaring apps it works with.
Please let me know your thoughts. I'm an experienced Windows user brand new to MacOS so please keep that if you answer.
Thanks

First attempt at iCal Publish and ... confused

I published an iCal calendar and time settings do not appear to match.
A regular, weekly event in iCal defined as 08:00 - 09:00 appears in the published form as 3pm or 4pm.
Is the event replicable or the event parameters replicable to others?
With solution?
As an edit: Also, chosen calendar colour code (Red) appears as blue on the published variant.
Should the published variant conform to my chosen colour schema?
Message was edited by: the deebs = an additional observation

Published calendar times: these seem partially solved by declaring Time Zone in iCal on events but, for some reason, of the three adjustments made one insists on remaining 8 hours out of sync with iCal (a repeated weekly event).
Does anyone think it is helpful to have Notes appear as part of a published calendar?
The reason I ask is because we have a weekly event due on Monday of the week that occurs unless the day is a public holiday in the UK. Adding a note along lines of Cancelled on 4 May 2009 (Bank Holiday) seems helpful.
2 - can one do a partial sync? If a calendar event is revised does one need to do a full Mobile Me refresh?

Mail, iCal Server and iChat server will not work over VPN

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station at the office running the network. Behind it sits a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server running 10.6.3. The ports necessary for Mail, iCal Server and iChat work fine through that external connection. I can also connect with VPN from my 10.6.3 clients.
HOWEVER, when I connect with the VPN clients, I am suddenly unable to access the Mail, iCal Server, Wiki server and iChat server. All connections time out. I can ping the server and I can do other things that do NOT work on the public Airport like ssh or VNC. ssh and VNC are closed at the airport extreme.
So it's pretty odd. When I'm connected via the VPN, all ports that are forwarded to the Snow Leopard server time out over the VPN.
I've tried various and sundry configurations with the VPN client. This includes trying to send all traffic over the VPN, moving it up in the service order, etc. etc. Nothing fixes it. DNS resolution is working fine, however when I do a wireshark capture of ppp0 traffic, I notice that SSL and TLSv1 handshakes appear to occur on the public IP address instead of the private network IP address... and they're all resets.
Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? Like I said, all ports that are NOT forwarded through the Airport work fine over the VPN, but will not work when connected to the VPN. It's really bizarre.

New data: any ports that are normally forwarded on the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini server will not work when connected to the VPN.
For instance, if I have imaps/993 forwarded from the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini, it works fine over the Internet. If I connect to the VPN, I can connect to all OTHER services on the Mac Mini, but Mail, for instance, will not work.

Windows Firewall doesn't work as advertised: "File and Sharing (SMB-in)" fails to restrict by user, computer or IP.

Hello,
I'm trying to understand whether I'm the one who's crazy, doing something wrong, or whether Windows Firewall was designed to be broken (and stay that way through Windows Server 2008 R2!)
When I go to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security from the Start Menu and edit the Inbound Rule for "File and Sharing (SMB-in)", the result I am seeking is that I can restrict access by both user and computer.
Upon enabling the rule, and selecting the "Allow the connection if it is secure" option (and nothing else), the firewall obliges by denying any and all attempts by other computers to map or browse files.
When I enter the name of one PC in the Computers tab under the "Allow connections from these computers", again the firewall obliges and the said PC can now browse and map to shares on that server. HOWEVER, now other computers on the network are able
to do the same, as long as they have any set of verifiable credentials (like a local user/admin or domain user/admin, etc). Trying to restrict by user or by IP yield almost identical results. Both those who I do and do not want are able to access
files on the said server.
My question is this: how is this firewall rule supposed to work? What do we have to do to actually make it accept and reject connections based on the criteria we have provided?
My goal is to only allow SMB access to a user IF they log in from a particular computer or group of computers.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Waqqas

I too find the same problem. I enable the firewall rule, put in Local Addresses that I want to be able to get through the firewall to access the File shares, but it opens the firewall so any ip address can access the shares. Anyone have an answer?
And No, Niko Bellic, checking the MSDN forum is NOT the answer!

How can I locate my serial number for the Student and Teacher Edition

All I am trying to do right now is to obtain the serial number for my Student and Teacher (Academic) Edition <removed by moderator>, but I wanted to use my personal (home) e-mail address since this purchase is to be installed on my home computer. The validation process seems to require my work e-mail address or a work id with embossed date (ours had no date and my id is at work). The e-mail prompt indicates that all e-mail correspondence will go to the address I enter so if there is e-mail regarding this installation, on my home computer at my home e-mail address, any such e-mail instructions would then go to my work e-mail address. So how do I obtain my serial number?

I have removed your coupon/product code as this is a public forum. I would recommend reviewing the I have a Student and Teacher edition product section of Find a serial number.

On-line Back-up and Sharing Portal

I just got FIos and downloaded the free trial of Security Suite including the On-line Back up and Ffile sharing.
It was simple to set up the back up schedule etc., however I can't seem to find a simple way to sign in to the on-line portal to getto my on-line back up and sharing files. For some reason I can't bookmark the location and getting to it from Verizon sign onpage is almost impossible. If I click on "Manage Broad Band Essesntials" it simply brings me to a screen that shows me thebilling information for the program and has a download button for the Suite, Back up and Sharing. If I click Back up and Sharing itbrings me to the "shopping screen" and just shows me the various bundles and options I can purchase.
The only way I can get there is by clicking on "edit sub accounts" I have no idea why that works-I found that out after about an hourof trying to access my on line files-but that's the thing--it doesn't always work.
Isn't there a way I can ,make a short cut for it on my desktop or bookmark it somehow. It's kind of useless if it takes me all day to get to it. Also--for some reason I can't set up my home page either. I'd like to be able to just click on it from there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks you.

I'm not sure what you would be saving when you're talking about copy written work--but I'm only saving my own documents and pictures. I'll be saving my itunes library--but that belongs to me already--I bought it!
I had a computer crash last month. I thought I had everything saved and backed up--I was wrong. I don't want to go through that nonsenes again.I also don't want to have to worry about all of my document scans etc being burned in a fire or lost in a flood--god forbid--I know you're supposed to keep all of that stuff elsewhere, but who has that kind of time?
Anyway--the 986th time must have been the charm. I downloaded the back up and sharing software again..and...it's working!! A personal victory. I don't give up witout a fight, that's for sure

ICal server and external invitations via 3rd party mail server

Hi everyone,
OS 10.6.5 Server:
Services running
AFP
DNS
iCal
Open Directory
Push Notification
We are currently testing iCal server and have configured it to send out invites via our mail server (which is running on a different server) by creating the com.apple.calendarserver user on our mail server.
Email notifications are then configured under the Enable Email Invitations tab in the iCal service of Server Admin as follows:
IMAP
Email address: [email protected]
Incoming server: mail.mytest.com
Port: 143 (not using SSL)
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: secret
SMTP: mail.mytest.com
Port: 25 (not using SSL)
Server requires authentication
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: secret
My test OD users are able to send out invites both internally to other iCal users and externally via email.
So for example, I invite someone to a meeting and enter their gmail address ([email protected]), the invitation goes out correctly - when I log into gmail I see the invitation.
When responding to the invitation (clicking Yes), the mail server receives the response from gmail and the iCal server collects the message via IMAP.
However, the iCal server doesn't seem to parse the received email correctly as I get the following error in the iCal error logs:
[twistedcaldav.extensions#info] Cannot authenticate proxy user 'com.apple.calendarserver' without X-Authorize-As header

I have set a rule on our mail server to bypass any spam filtering for all messages sent to the [email protected] address, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
Does anyone else have this working ? Any ideas ?
Many thanks

The issue is not "user authorization". The issue is that the 3rd-party service does not accept all incoming relay requests unless there is authentication with a registered account (which we have). This protects the 3rd-party service from becoming the relaying host for the universe's spoofed and anonymous spam. My deduction is that there is no mechanism in UTL_MAIL to designate not only the 3rd-party ip-address:port (by-passing the local sendmail server) but also providing the username:password for the account there for authentication.
Plan A: I have attempted to follow directions for client-side SMTP Authentication for Relaying on the sendmail.org site.
I have not been successful in completing a simple mailx interactive test, much less completing a UTL_MAIL configuration.
I am scouring the user universe for someone who has put all the pieces together successfully and can advise. . . .
Edited by: StevenInTallyFl on Mar 26, 2010 3:50 PM
to clarify that I cannot get from UTL_MAIL to 3rd-party IP directly

Only safari and text edit work

2 days ago my mac power cable was pulled out of the wall. When I turned the Mac Mini back on only programs such as Safari, Dashboard, and text edit worked. I can go to system preferences but that is all. All of my desktop icons have been deleted. itunes, iDVD, iCal, and others such as america online, and AIM do not work. When I shut the computer down and restart it a screen with a blinking folder with a question mark alternating with the mac logo appears and then starts up as normally. I do not have the CDs that came with the computer, is there anything i can do?

"I do not have the CDs that came with the computer, is there anything i can do?"
It is possible to call Apple and pay them their fee to have them to send you some replacements.
Forunately Apple isn't exactly like Microsoft requiring you to pay for a new retail version of their software.

Why iCal cancel of event edits issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?

Why iCal "cancel of event edits" issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?
I have been in the software engineering industry for over 14 years, but I have never seen a large corporation being so slow at addressing major issues like these.
What would it take for Apple to start working on this issue?

Yup. This is fully ridiculous that you can't cancel your updates once you start. I love the tool but this is on pretty significant issue.
Sometimes I accidentally move a mtg or make some edit while viewing and you can't back you!!
If you feel the same way, you should post a note here:

Change public share access to read only for public and full access to selected users

Hi, new to the community just purchased a recertified WDMyCloud 2TB after my 2 years old MyBookLive 2TB HD died due to accidental power cable unplugging. I've got everything setup including MiniDLNA by following instructions on this forum and everything is working exactly as I want it to except public share. I want public share to be set to read only access for public and full access to certain users (just myself at the moment) and having a "upload" folder within this share with full public access to everything in this folder would be a bonus. I tried login in to ftp with root user and removing write permission for public but that blocks me out as well. I'm sure it's possible by doing some majic on SSH but I wouldn't have a clue so hoping someone here would be able to help me out.

Mr_Khan wrote:
What i want is public to have read only access to file server. Public as in users who do not have a user account on mycloud. E.g someone who connects to to my home network for the first time and is able to browse and download content from public share. I'm aware of being able to set indivual access to shares for users like full access, read only and no access but public users won't have a user account.Through the My Cloud UI interface what you seek to do is not possible. The public share like all other share folders are an all or nothing affair when using the adminstration UI. When using the administration UI you do not have granular control on shared folders to limit non users to read only access or set permission levels for subfolders. The workaround to do what you seek and have the public folder set for read only is to change the folder settings via SSH. It may take some work to set the folder security so that users can read/write to the public folder while the guests only have read access. However, if you reboot the WD My Cloud or update the WD My Cloud firmware those settings may be reset back to the default settings where the entire public folder is read/write for all. There are way to prevent this but again it will take a bit of coding to do so via SSH. See this link (even though its for the WD My Book Live) for a starting point on how to use SSH to change the permission levels on the public folder. Another option if one doesn't go the SSH route is to turn off public sharing for the public folder then create a "guest" user account and give that "guest" account read only access to the public folder while all other user accounts have full read/write access.

ICal: public AND shared editing?
