ICal Shared Calendars

Is there is a way to password protect iCal shared calendars?

A quick update: with the December 31, 2007 release of BusySync version 1.5, users can now additionally synchronize iCal calendars outside of their existing subnet using procedures which are outlined here.
In addition, Mark/Space has announced that a Mac OS X 10.5 and later update will he forthcoming for SyncTogether, and a public beta of the updated application will be available here on or before January 31, 2008.

ICal - shared calendars not saving settings

I have a user who says he will turn off (uncheck) certain shared cals in iCal and also check ignore alerts on many of them. Over time, he says they will revert back to all being checked and ignore alerts is unchecked. We went in and out of iCal several times today after he made the changes and it didn’t happen. But later in the day, he called and it happened again. Any ideas why this would be happening?
FYI - iCal syncs to our email server (Zimbra) using CalDAV, but these iCal settings should remain on his local machine. There is nothing on our email server that should be causing this.
Thanks for any help.

I figured it out myself.

ICal holidays missing - Find Shared Calendars menu item broken

In iCal, Calendar menu, Find Shared Calendars...
This menu item takes you to a broken (as of today) link:
http://www.apple.com/ical/library/

When clicking "Find Shared Calendars...," Leopard OS system sends IP packets to nwk-www.apple.com, 17.149.160.10.
・Source IP Address (private): 192.168.1.2
・Destination IP Address: 17.149.160.10 at the beginning of the session for "Find Shared Calendars..." procedure.
Leopard 10.5.1 sends a DNS query to connect 128.241.220.87 that is NTT America. Communications between Leopard and NTT America go for a while. So is Omniture's server followed. Some unique user's information is transmitted on all the servers communication.
Leopard queries DNS server (208.67.2222.222 which I set for Leopard) for metrics.apple.com (this seems to be a server for iTunes Store). What the deuce Leopard needs to call iTunes Store at the phase of finding iCal sharing calendar?
Besides, I have not been purchased any products from iTunes Store for years.
Actually, NTT America has been attempting odd access behaviors to my nodes for the recent few years before the business with Apple started whenever the hacker (I have been tracking him for three years.) is right behind me.
Now NTT America 128.241.220.87 replies to Leopard with the ACK (TCP Acknowledgement flag) bit. Next, nwk-www.apple.com (17.149.160.10) also sends Leopard a ACK bit simultaneously. Leopard answers it with the ACK. Now the DNS server replies the ten host addresses to the query of metrics.apple.com: appleglobal.112.2o7.net, 66.151.152.125, 66.151.152.126, 66.151.152.143, 128.241.21.13, 128.241.21.14, 128.241.21.15, 128.241.21.146, 128.241.21.149 and 128.241.21.163.
66.151.152.xxx = Omniture, Inc that provides web analytics solutions for internet channel monitoring. They operates the 2o7.net domains. For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omniture
128.241.21.xxx = NTT America, Inc. (http://www.nttamerica.com/products/index.php)
At the last session, Leopard queries "wsidecar.apple.com," but strangely the DNS server answer the canonical address which is "wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net" with its address 17.149.160.15 but not DNS registered address 17.112.152.39.
17.149.160.15 (Apple's server but not 17.149.160.10) sends Leopard a FIN/ACK bit which means the TCP connection is closed by the server ONE-SIDEDLY despite Leopard answers to 17.149.160.15 with the acknowledgement to get ready for the US calendar sync data download start.
Here is a nslookup wsidecar.apple.com:
$ nslookup
wsidecar.apple.com
Server: 208.67.222.222
Address: 208.67.222.222#53
Non-authoritative answer:
wsidecar.apple.com canonical name = wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net.
Name: wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net
Address: 17.112.152.39
CONCLUSION: There are a few inconsistencies on TCP/IP communications.
My computer: Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 GHz/5GB DDR SDRAM

Can I create a shared calendar on iCal from the New iPad?

My company just gave out iPads for use to all field employees. My coworkers and I currently have an Outlook shared calendar that we utilize for scheduling our work. We can not access the shared calendars on our iPads, therefore I would like to create a shared calendar in iCal that we can all access for sharing our schedule as we were doing on Outlook. Is this possible?
NOTE: The idea is that I would like to use the iPad as the sole resource, instead of carrying our laptops around just to access the shared outlook calendar/schedule. The laptops are outdated junk that requires roughly 20 mins of time just to power up, connect and sign in to our servers...very inefficient.
Thank you!

I have a bluetooth 2 keyboard from Brookstone, will it work with the iPad?

Can two iCal users edit the same published/shared calendar

Can two iCal users (obviously different mobileMe accounts) edit the same published/shared calendar? I want to have a calendar running which we can both edit remotely but for it to be synced so we both know what each other is doing. Maybe I can share it on my iDisk somehow? I have searched but could not find an answer so I am sorry if this has been covered already !

There is now way to do this using standard MobileMe and iCal. What you could is both share your calendars so that both of you can read each other's calendar.
If you want both to have read-write access to a calendar you will need to use third party software or set up a Google calendar where both of you have read-write access to the calendar.

Syncing shared calendar in iCal

Hello,
My wife and I use google calendar's to put all of our events and commitments in, and we "share" our respective calendars with the other so we can see what the other is up to and try and plan around each other.
I use the mail app and iCal for e-mails and my calendar, however I have not been able to find a way for the shared calendar (my wife's calendar) to show up on my iPhone/iPad. Ideally I would like to see both her and my events, and be able to add things to both calendar's if possible.
Doe anyone have any ideas on how this should be accomplished?
Thanks so much!

You should be able to select the calendar in the Calendar app at Google.com by clicking the little triangle beside it's name when you mouse over it. Select Share this Calendar and change the Permissions setting for the person you are sharing with. If your wife is not there then you'll have to delete the calendar on her device then send an invite with the appropriate permissions. Shared calendars verses synced calendars probably have different options.

ICal Shared Exchange Calendar Stopped Working

I have been successfully accessing the Johns Hopkins Exchange servers for mail, address book, and calendar services on my Mac for months. In iCal I had also been accessing a shared Exchange calendar for many months. About 1-2 months ago, I lost access to this shared calendar in iCal only. Since I can still access it from Outlook on a PC, it seems something must have changed on my Mac. I still have access to my own exchange calendar in iCal, but when I go to re-setup the shared calendar in the account set up window, it shows that the shard calendar exists in the list of available calendars, but the indicator spins and spins without ever revealing my delegate privileges. Did Apple change something that is blocking access to my delegate privileges in iCal?
Thanks for any help,
Bill Convey

I would suggest to go into the options for that exchange server on your Pre and reset the calendar preference (that is: change it to not sync the calendar, save those settings, then switch it to 'on' again).
After doing this, perform the following action:
-Open your Contacts App
-Select Preferences & Accounts from the dropdown menu
-Scroll to the bottom of that page and select "Sync Now".
This should resync all data on all Accounts on your phone.
Please note: It may take up to 10 minutes to sync all data from all Accounts. If you do not see all synced information after 10 minutes, perform a soft reset (shutdown your phone and restart it).

Can I publish an event to more than one shared calendar in iCal?

I have shared calendars (called "home") with my wife & kids and (called "Work") with my secretary at work so that my family can add home events and my secretary can add work things .
I've done this as I don't want my secretary seeing when my kids have an appointment to see the doctor or my kids to see when I have appointments with clients at work etc.
However some things (like when I've booked leave from work) need to be on both calendars.
QUESTION: Can I publish one event (using OS X Yosemite or iOS8.2) to multiple calendars ("home" & "work") in iCal?

i generally hate toolbars because it makes the browser look cluttered and hogs memory. but u should ask an expert on this if it possible its not too easy, addons will probably help you, for example if you have the stumbleupon toolbar, there are addons that will create an extra button for you to put anywhare for quick access. this solution probably may not work with other less known addons.

ICal Server Shared Calendars "403" Error

Greetings,
We are currently running a 10.7.4 Server with 10.7.4 clients. The problem is with the calendar system's sharing funtion. Some users will consistantly receive an error message "403" Stating that the user does not have permission to edit the item when they edit an item or change an existing event to another user's shared calendar. After some troublshooting I found that if I made the claendar in question the default calendar in iCal, I was able to create vents without problem. I have tried removing the problemed users from that calendar's list of shared users, and changing permissions back and forth from Read to Read/Write without any success. There are no iCloud or MobileMe accounts on any of the client machines, a pertinent negative as searching for a resolution to this issue yeilds many similar problems related to those services.
Summary:
Creating or editing an event in a shared calendar within iCal (while not the host of sdaid calendar) results in a error code 403. However, when the user in question changes their default calendar to the shared calendar, there is no issue creating new events. The issue is only persistant with a few users. Other users have no issue manipulting existing records in the same shared calendar.
Configuration:
OS X Lion Server (10.7.4)
iCal service is configured properly
Clients are all running 10.7.4
Screenshot of the error message:
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have got same problem.

Show shared calendars in ical wiki

Hello everybody,
We use the snow leopard server version 10.6.4 on a xServe.
Personal calendars are shared, so we can see the calendars of each others in iCal.
But I want to make visible the shared calendars on the wiki (calendar) server. Now I can only see my personal sychronosized calendar online.
So, how can I add shared calendars on the wiki server?
Tnkx!

There is an alternative way you could try which works very well for our client who uses both macs and pc's on a windows network.
On iCal go to ICAL > Preferences. Click on the Accounts tab, select the exchange account and click on the delegations tab. On here click the + symbol and type in the first few letters of the user who's calendar she needs access to - if exchange is configured correctly it should automatically find the username and add that calendar to iCal for her to view.

Shared calendars in iCal via Exchange 2007

I am trying to test a solution for a user that has an iMac she wishes to connect to our Windows network and access her email and calendars from home. She will VPN of course, and upgrade to Snow Leopard for Exchange support. I have everything working up to that point on a test MacBook with 10.6.2 that is on the inside (will test VPN after everything works internally). I created an Exchange account that I can receive mail in Mail.app and normal calendar events in iCal.
The situation she is attempting to do is to see shared Exchange calendars. Not public folder calendars, but individual calendars that have been shared with her. Now in Outlook, all you have to do is click Open a Shared Calendar and input the user name of the calendar owner. In iCal, I think it is the Subscribe function, but it asks for a URL. What am I supposed to enter there? I have Outlook Web Access (OWA) URLs for the calendar I am trying to access, but when I input the URL string, I get an error saying the data was not valid.
Anyone else doing this???
BTW, here is a link to a shot of the error message I am getting:

How do I stop iCal from sending notifications everytime I change a shared calendar or event?

iCal sends a notification (not an email) to all users of a shared calendar whenever an event is added or edited. How do I stop that?

as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events? (there is a screenshot as well):
to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

ICal syncing shared calendars

I have 3 separate google calendars that I use often. I have them all shared with each other with r/w permissions to make things easier on the go.
The problem comes in with iCal syncing. I have all three calendars in iCal under separate accounts. sometimes, iCal will sync the shared calendars along with the individuals, making duplicates of them, and flooding me with unnecessary reminders.
The only problem is that iCal WILL NOT save the settings on the shared calendars. When it recognizes that accound has shared calendars, it will load them and give me reminders. Naturally I go and uncheck the calendar because I don't want it syncing. But then, when it refreshes, and finds the shared calendars, it doesn't remember the setting, and loads the shared calendars.
In simple talk, I just need to know how to get iCal to remember NOT to sync the shared calendars. Because it hasn't worked so far and its unbelievably frustrating...

Microsoft Exchange shared calendars through iCal on iPad or Mac

This is surely not an original question, but -
My company uses Microsoft Exchange. I have synced it to my iPad for calendar, contacts, and email, and it works very well.
We also use shared calendars, and I utilize this feature often via Outlook on my PC. However ...
1. I'd like to be able to view MS Exchange shared calendars on iCal on my iPad. Is this possible? Obviously, no one will grant me permission to view their contacts or emails, but calendar-only is what we share. Is this possible?
2. Is it possible to view MS Exchange shared calendars through iCal on a Mac? I have a colleague who has an iMac with iCal synced to Exchange and it works great. However, we do not know how to view shared calendars (from MS Exchange) through iCal. Again, we want to share calendars-only - no email or contacts. Can anyone help with this?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELP.
Jeff
