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...

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 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.
After importing the calendar user can't create new appointments.
It isnt possible to add a new appointment.
let me know if there is an solution?
Thanks.

Syncing shared calendar

I used to have an iphone 3G and could easily sync my 2010 outlook calendar along with a shared calendar that I would periodically email to my home account from work. Now I have switched to an iphone 4S with an updated os and it no longer syncs my shared calendar. I can't figure out if I have to change a setting or what. The calendar is not really being "shared", it just shows up under shared calendars when I open and download it from an attachment in my email. This was the only way I could figure out how to put my work appointments in outlook and it's been working fine for years. Anyone know what is different from the old os and why I can't do what I used to be able to do? Thanks 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.

Sync shared calendar with Android

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone has found a solution for this: our office is almost exclusively Mac and iOS and we use shared calendars to communicate our work schedule (which changes often). A key person on the team has a Droid and we're trying to figure out how to allow them to see the shared calendar and hopefully have it update when the iCloud calendar updates.
I've looked at the iCal to GCal web service but that requires the calendar to be public. Does anyone know another way to put a shared iCloud calendar into Android/Google Cal?
TIA,
JVK

I am guessing this is still the case with exchange 2007..
If anyone has a work around please share

Issues syncing/sharing calendars on iPhone 6

Some questions about sharing calendars...
First some background. My husband and I just upgrade from an iPhone 3 (yes, so retro) to an iPhone 6. Clearly this is a big change for us. We lived through an era where we shared my apple ID for a while. But while on the 3 we eventually graduated to having separate Apple IDs, while still sharing iTunes account, Calendars and Notes.
So now we're on the 6. All of our stuff was transferred over to our individual phones. And although we each have up-to-date events in our calendars (we can each see everything in there, up to time of transfer), we are no longer hooked up to each other (i.e. when he adds an event, it's not showing up on my calendar and vice versa). A note: We share 5 different color-coded calendars, one for each member of our family. I also use these same calendars on our family iPad and my laptop.
I understand that Family Sharing will allow us to share a single "family" calendar, but it will not allow us to use the multiple, color-coded calendars that we've already started years ago, correct??
We understand the steps to manually share each of our 5 calendars. After opening the calendar app, he clicks on "calendars" on the bottom. Using the calendars listed under iCloud, he clicked the "i" to the right of each calendar and add me under "shared with." Here are our problems… when he tries to share with me and add any of the 5 specific calendars, it duplicates what is already existing on my calendar (up to the point of data transfer). Does that make sense? And when I try to share with him, well, I can't. His name will not populate under the "shared with" section. Yes, he is in my contacts.
Does it matter who sends the share invite to whom?
Why is he not showing up when I try to add him? Everyone in his contact list shows up as an option when he tries to share with me. Barely any of my contacts are available when I try to share with him. And he is definitely not showing up
Are we going about this totally wrong?
I'm assuming Family Sharing is not an option because we both want to see and be able to edit each of our 5 family calendars. Am I assuming correctly? I think we'll try to use Family Sharing for iTunes purchases, but I haven't been able to even think about that yet, because we wanted to get our calendars working.
Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Amy
P.S. I'm posting this in multiple forums, since I'm not sure what the issue is! Sorry if you see all posts!

I just figured it out how to fix this issues.
Steps:
Go to
1- Settings
2- Cellular
3- Enable LTE
Change Voice & Data to Data Only
This should fix the issue incoming calls.. I'm using this setting for over a week and never had any issues with incoming calls.
Please let me know if this works for you
Thanks

Mountain Lion iCal Exchange Shared Calendars

From the delegates tab inside the accounts preferences, I get no access to a calendar that I am sure I have access to.
is this a problem with shared Exchange 2007 calendars or a problem with iCal?

As a follow up to this -
I have completely re-installed ML. I have deleted all pstrings, and I have removed all caches.
I created a new user account on my laptop and calendars opened fine, so it seems to be a problem with updating calendar information.
How can I remove old calendar information? I keep all of my informaiton on the cloud, so I do not need anything that it keeps locally at this time. I can start from scratch.
Any thoughts? I know this string has been viewed several times - but no recommendations yet. Any help is appreciated.

ICal syncs Google calendar with iPad and iPhone but not MacBook Air

Hi there,
Sorry to post another thread about syncing issues, but the solutions posted in the ones I looked at didn't quite solve my problem, so I'm wondering if I'm having an issue that's specific to the way I've set things up with my devices?
I created a Google account for the sole purpose of having a Google calendar that I could share with my Dad. We both access this Google calendar through iCal.
My Dad generally checks or posts updates using iCal on his iPad and iPhone. Meanwhile, I'm using iCal on my MacBook Air, which FWIW is also running Snow Leopard. (I don't have an iPad or iPhone - this is my only means of accessing the calendar.)
Any change he makes on the calendar will show up on both of his devices, but not mine. Any change I make will not show up on his devices.
I logged into the Google account in a web browser (Chrome, FWIW) and checked the calendar through the same browser - all of his changes aren't showing up on it, but mine are.
I had my Dad reload the same Google calendar in his devices (i.e. delete the account and add it back again) and confirmed he's using the right Google address and password. This doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
What else am I missing? It's a little frustrating trying to fix this because my Dad's in another state so I don't see him that often, and even though I taught him how to use an iPad and an iPhone, he's still not the most computer literate person, so talking him through this is a little tricky.

On the MBPro and the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

HT1694 Does iCal sync multiple calendars from Windows Live or just one?

I'm considering moving from WP7 to an iPhone since Sprint won't carry the Z10 or WP8, but I need to be able to sync multiple Windows Live calendars to even consider it. I have about 12 setup that sync perfectly with my PlayBook and my HTC Arrive. To make the switch I have to be able to keep that sync capability. Thanks for the info!

Hello
I can offer no help, but sympathize with your dilemma. I love that you can set up several calendars on iCal and view only what you want. I have set up calendars for b-days, bills, school, work, my wife's school..... and I love how uncluttered the separate views are.
It sounds like the only option would be (and Apple must love this!) to purchase an iPhone or iTouch so that you can just keep your calendar with you, and forget about accessing your iCal on any PC.

How to sync MS Exchange shared calendars and allow permissions?

Hi Everyone,
We have a SBS2008 and MS Exchange with which we have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy to work. We are having some issues in syncing shared calendars for conference room bookings as well as some other issues. We have an iPhone 5s and everyone has updated to iOS 8.
How do we allow one of our managers to access a shared calendar on their iPhone to book a room from a shared calendar and ensure that that is reflected across the calendar?
Thank you.

Hello,
Are the Rooms you wish to book stored as Resources in Microsoft Exchange?
I have an app in the store called Roomr which connects to Exchange and allows you to view and book meeting rooms. This would enable your managers to book meeting rooms in advance and the data is stored in Exchange so it will sync with all users.
I know you want to use the Calendar app provided, but Roomr has the added benefit of providing you with an at-a-glance availability of meeting rooms, enabling you to see which ones are free instantly, without having to check multiple schedules.
It's free to try out and might help solve your problem https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/roomr-check-meeting-room-availability/id72284240 4?ls=1&mt=8

Shared Calendars Exchange 2010 for iPhone & iPad

I have spent much time reading posts and articles on setting up Exchange 2010 SP2 so that Users can edit and view shared calendars with their iPad's & iPhones.
However I have hit a stumbling block, too many way's and too much information on configuration. So I have laid out below the commands I intend to use so we publish *.ics which believe is the best way to share calendars with ios systems though I am having
problems with details in the commands.
If anyone has already done this or can provide some examples as I don't use the com shell that often for exchange.
Step 1:
PRE-REQUISITE: OWA External URL must be set
set-owavirtualdirectory –Identity <CAS> -ExternalURL <externalURLforCAS>
- What is "externalURLforCAS"????
Step 2:
PRE-REQUISITE: Mailbox webproxy must be set
set-exchangeserver –identity “servername” –InternetWebProxy ”webproxy URL”
- What is ”webproxy URL” ????
Step 3:
Admin must enable Internet access to exchange published calendars
set-owavirtualdirectory –Identity <CAS> -CalendarPublishingEnabled$true
Step 4:
Admin must enable sharing policy for Internet Publishing
set-sharingpolicy –Identity <PolicyName> -Domains “Anonymous:<accesslevel>”

Hi,
ActiveSync syncs only the default calendar. We are not able to sync shared calendar in Iphone/Ipad. Your understanding would be appreciated.
Just for your reference, you may take a try with some third party tool:

ICal: How do I get iCal to sync with a shared calendar?

I am working in a small business who are running a Microsoft Exchange Server. All users are using Microsoft Outlook for e-mails and calendars. I want to get iCal on my mac to sync with the shared calendar on the Exchange server which is published in the 'public folders'. Can anyone shed any light on this matter? Does iCal do this?

In short: No it doesn't.
There's a third party 'solution' out there: Groupcal by Snerdware. However, since OS10.4 it's nothing but trouble with that program. They've recently released version 3.0, which is supposed to fix things, yet for me (and a couple of other users, according to for instance versiontracker) matters only got worse. I'd say: give the trialversion a go and see if it works for you. But be prepared for trouble with future OS updates etcetera. Also their support only returns emails with very short and cryptic answers, if at all.
The alternative of course is using Microsoft Entourage instead of iCal.

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.

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
