  • ICal Share and Apple Calendar share

    Is ical share and Apple calendar share still viable way to get subscriptions to calendars.
    ical share seems to only have old stuff same with Apple Calendar items
    I am looking for F! 2009 schedule (auto racing)?
    Is there another place that everyone gets shared calendars?

    I get the feeling that the moderator (or whoever is in charge) of icalshare died or left the country some time ago and nobody noticed. Have you ever tried to post a calendar? I have posted a cricket fixture calendar for Durham CCC twice now - the calendar has not appeared and my messages to them are ignored. The same thing happened last year when I posted a soccer fixture list. Has anyone else had the same problem? It really is as if nobody's in charge there.

  • Cannot find _www user/group to make owner/group for iCal share

    I know _www is a predefined system group normally hidden. However, I am trying to follow a procedure posted at www.adozendozen.com/?p=43 which requires that I make _www the owner/group for the folder share I will be using for calendars.
    _www does not appear in the Users and Groups pane available in Server Admin so how does one do this?
    (If you want to have a long day, trying searching _www on any search site or any site for that matter.)

    Brett Gross who made the original post for the iCal setup was kind enough to inform me that there is a setting in Server Admin under Preferences for "Show system accounts in users and groups browser.
    Thanks for responding but I am more comfortable with GUI where possible.

  • Can iCal show a years weeks in numbers?

    Hello! In Sweden most people plan their lives using the years weeks insted of months. Is it possible for iCal to also show a weeks number instead of only months, dates and days?
    We say for instance: - "Can you help me with... week 38?".
    It would be of great help if someone can help me with this!
    Tjenis,
    Mikael

    Hi DB,
    Just for interest then, as there seems to be some already on iCal Share.

  • 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).

  • Share iCal on one iMac with tow accounts

    I've one iMac with two user accounts on it (me & my wife). How can setup iCal so, that my calendar items in my user account are the same like those when me wife is looked in her user account. I don't want use MobileME or iPhone to reach that. Is it possible to share the same DataSet for tow different accounts on the same iMac?

  • Family sharing iCloud ID to synch iCal&Address Book, but do not want to share email.

    Hello,
    I have both mine and my wife’s iphone paired to my icloud account so we can share/synch our Address Book, iCal, Find my iPhone, etc.  Plus, we share my iTunes account, though that is under a different Apple ID.
    My email address is not in her mail folder, however she gets my mail  in her ‘All Inboxes’.
    How do I stop this, yet still share my iCloud features (family plan - type)?
    Thx - Erik
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Firstly, I've asked the hosts to edit your email from your post, it's not a good idea to post it in the open it will attract unwanted mail.
    If your wife simply doesn't want your email she can turn off mail syncing in her iCloud settings.
    If she wants her own me address she should have her own iCloud account, you could then add each others iCloud to your own a s a secondary account and just turn on the sync services you want.

  • HERE'S HOW TO SHARE iCAL w/ MULTIPLE USERS on 1 Mac

    Here's how to share iCal calendars among multiple users on a single Mac.
    What you need to do is to move the iCal folder to a shared folder that is accessible to all users and then replace the iCal folder in each user's library folder with a "symbolic link' to the shared iCal folder. The symbolic link looks like an "alias", but if you try this using "aliases" to the shared iCal folder it will not work (trust me). You can create symbolic links using the Terminal, but I have no idea how, and the idea of using the Terminal scares me. The easiest way that I know of to create a symbolic link is with a shareware application called Cocktail. It allows you to do a number of different things including System Maintenance, Network Optimization, etc. It took me a while to remember how to do this; I originally found the information in the Discussions when iCal was first released, but apparently none of those original postings are listed in the forums anymore.
    Here's how to do it (you must have Administrator privileges):
    First locate your iCal folder (your user name > Library > Application Support > iCal) and make a copy of it (Finder > File > Duplicate). Drag the copy to your Desktop until you're sure iCal is being shared between users.
    Next move the original iCal folder into a Shared folder in the Users folder (Hard Disk > Users > Shared > iCal). To make sure all users can access the information, select the Shared folder, choose File > Get Info, click the little Lock icon, then under "Ownership & Permissions -> Details" make sure that the "Owner" is "System", "Group" is "Wheel" and "Access" for Owner, Group and Others is "Read & Write". Do the same with the iCal folder within the Shared folder, but this time, under "Ownership & Permissions -> Details" make sure that the "Owner" is "your user name", "Group" is "Staff" and "Access" for Owner, Group and Others is "Read & Write" and click the "Apply to Enclosed Items" button. I basing this information on what the Ownership & Permissions are for each of the folders in my system.
    Open Cocktail (I'm using version 3.6.5). Once the app is open (you must enter an administrator's user name and password) click on the "Files" button, then click on the "Links" button. Where it says "Create Symbolic Link" click on the "Choose" button. Navigate to the iCal folder (Hard Disk > Users > Shared > iCal) and click "Choose" again. In the "Save As" box that appears enter "iCal", then navigate to the Application Support folder in your Home folder (your user name > Library > Application Support) and click "Save". Quit Cocktail and open iCal. You should see all of your calendars as you did before.
    Log in under each additional User, move that User's iCal folder (user name > Library > Application Support > iCal) onto the Desktop, then create another Symbolic Link to replace it, using Cocktail as described above. In each case you should see the same calendar information as when you were logged in under your user name. As a test, add a New Event or To Do in iCal under one user, log out and back in under another user and you should see the changes when you open iCal.
    Once everything appears to be working, you can delete the iCal folders from each User's Desktop.
    As an additional maintenance measure, use Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
    Unfortunately, if each User has his/her own calendars in iCal they will not be in the shared calendars. Only the calendars in the first iCal folder used to set up the shared folder will be available and I don't know of any way to merge or combine the other user's calendars into one.
    Hope this helps and good luck!

    If every user first exports their calendars (with unique names) and then the "First" user imports them, before all the other set up, everyone's calendar will be there.
    Also, iCalShare lets you publish and subscribe on a computer or across a local network, without having to let everyone see and edit all your calendars.

  • How can I share multiple calendars in iCal with several different people?

    I need to share multiple calendars created in iCal with all our staff. Do I enter their individual email addresses separated by a semi-colon or a "plus" sign or how. I tried entering all the email addresses with the semi-colon and when I go back to look at sharing, it just shows one email address.

    I am assuming that you are referring to a responsive layout that has divisions that reposition themselves according to the width of the client browser window.
    Rather than go into a teaching mode on this forum, let me point you to a nifty free Dreamweaver extension that will help you to achieve this. Have a look here http://www.dmxzone.com/go/21759/dmxzone-bootstrap?utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=link&utm_cont ent=DMXzone+Bootstrap+Released…

  • Share an iCal calendar without a third party application

    After perusing the iCal discussion forum, it seems that the only way to "share" a calendar with another person (whether or not they have a MobileMe account) is to use Google Calendars or some other third party application. It seems like there would be a lot of users that want to "share" calendars and not just publish their calendars for others to see. The most common situation seems to be the sharing of a calendar with a spouse. Google makes this possible without charging a cent and you don't even have to dig to figure out how to do it. Naturally, because I love my Mac and the way all of my Apple programs interconnect, I want to avoid a third party solution. Is there a solution to this problem built into iCal (or maybe something to do with MobileMe) that I have simply overlooked? If not, how can we get Apple to include this feature in a future update of iCal?

    Hi James!
    I just spent the weekend setting this up for me and my wife. Unfortunately, you MUST use a 3rd party application. Like you have, I have spent the last month doing extremely refined Google searches in the hopes I would find the answer.
    So, I migrated our calendars to Google and this seems to be working well. Synchronization is not as instantaneous as MM but every 5 minutes is not that bad.
    Send Apple feedback on this issue at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
    Apple's main feedback site is here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I've sent several notes to them. I am hoping that Snow Leopard will fix this!

  • Share ical mac-to-mac without mobile me

    I'm not a huge techie. I  know how to work the software I'm given - not how to program things.  I've spent hours today pouring through posts online about iCal sharing.  All I want to do is to share a few of my calendars with a couple of specific Mac users.
    Unfortunately, they didn't subscribe to MobileMe before the change, Apple is not accepting any new MobileMe accounts, and iCals cannot be shared directly without them. 
    I've used iCal for years and I want to continue to use iCal.  I don't want to have to use Google Calendars. But from what I've read today it seems that in order for two Macs to read/write the same iCal calendar I need to use Google Calendars as an intermediary.  Is this true?  If so, is this is a temporary workaround or will Apple be releasing some new calendar program that plays well with others without needing Google to get involved? 
    Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can provide.

    Greetings,
    In order to have multiple people on multiple computers reading and writing to the same calendars there must be some kind of intermediary handling the back and forth communication.
    You are currently using MobileMe as your intermediary.  iCloud (when it launches) will also have a calendar feature, although no details in regards to sharing have been released as the product doesn't go live until the fall. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4597
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/contacts-calendar-mail.html
    You are correct that in it's present form, MobileMe will only allow you and other MobileMe members to modify your calendars: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Help/en/mm6b1a9479.html
    -- Non-MobileMe members can read, but not modify public calendars.
    Options:
    Wait on this topic until iCloud comes out to see what changes.  It might help...it might not.  Won't know until its available.
    Use a non-MobileMe server like Google or Yahoo (or any other CalDAV service you wish to use, Google and Yahoo are just 2 examples of a free calendar service.  There may be others and if you can pay, you can have a hosting service host your own private CalDAV.)
    Use a calendar sync solution like BusyCal: http://www.busymac.com/
    If you REALLY trust these people you are sharing your calendar with then just give them your MobileMe name and password and they can add your account to their iCal -- NOT recommended at all but its still an option.
    Hope that information is of use.
    Cheers.

  • Share Specified Calendars in iCal via iCloud

    I have a specific Calendar on my MBP which I want to share with my wife who has an iPad2,
    We have both upgraded to ios5 on iPad 2 and OSX Lion on my mBP.
    Any advice on how to share specific calendars over icloud.
    Thanks

    Trying to do the same thing. Want to share an iCal calendar from an iMac running Lion to my girlfriend's iMac running Snow Leopard.
    Trying to subscribe to my Lion iCal shared calendar from her Snow Leopard iCal, iCal (on hers) asks for a URL. So no go there. I signed into my iCloud account via Safari on my Lion iMac. I got to the iCloud site via Safari and viewed my iCal calendar with the little speaker icon that was mentioned in one of the replies. However, clicking that icon does nothing. Hmm. Not very "Apple-like" is it?

  • How do I Share ical between users on the same computer

    I share my computer with my wife and we each have our seperate logings. We'd like to be able to share our diary on the computer so we can keep track of each other. Is this possible?
    I use Tiger and ical 2.0.3

    Mac OS X by design keeps documents and settings owned by one user private from and inaccessible to any other user on the system. This is normal and has always been the case with Mac OS X.
    If you want documents accessible from both accounts, the easiest way to accomplish it is to put those documents in the Users/Shared folder. If you want to move your documents from your wife's account to yours, log into her account, move the documents to the Shared folder, then log into your own account and move the documents from the Shared folder to your own Documents folder.
    Regards.
