ICloud Calendar Sharing Notification problem

I share three calendars with a family member.  I receive notifications of additions and changes from the other family on all my devices just as I should.  On the other hand the other family member receives the additions and changes to her devices, but no notifications of those changes.  We have done all the trouble shooting available to resolve this issue, but still no notifications.  It was working fine until about two days ago.  Any thoughts?

Same exact thing here. If you are the original owner the person you are sharing with doesnt get any notifications only in the reverse.
I really wanted this to work so that my wife wouldn't have to invite me every time she made a calendar event which was intended for the both us. Plus since its a shared calendar I would be able to edit the event vs with the invitation I can't do anything besides accept it.
I tried using family sharing inside iCloud settings vs. just sinply creating a shared calendar and got the same result.
I then created the shared folder from her phone and still behaves the same way in reverse

  • Icloud calendar shared reminders

    I am having trouble with iCal on iCloud. I created an iClous calendar to share with my boss, but the alerts don't populate on his iPhone for the events/appointments I create.
    HELP!
    We really, really need him to have alerts leading up to his sceduled meetings; they pop up on my mac, but not his phone. I need it to be automatic...
    Various forums talk about how to TURN OFF the alerts, but I need to do the opposite.

    I have the same problem, alerts not coming across on shared calenders when the events sync properly. My wife & I have iPhones with latest IOS 5.x.x. I privately shared my iCloud calendar. She's subcribed to it and it syncs perfectly. Whenever I create a new event, it shows up on her phone within seconds. Same thing when she creates an event on the shared calendar.
    Problem is, the alerts don't make it across. I typically set alerts of 30 minutes and 2-days before the event. My phone's default alert of 1-day before also goes off for 3 alerts per event. However, on her phone, no alerts goes off. Editing the event on her phone shows both alerts as none. Even her default phone alert setting of 1-day before doesn't go off either.
    Anyone know how to make alerts sync across along with the shared calendar events?
    Thanks.

  • ICloud Calendar Sharing

    Hello,
    I have a couple questions regarding Calendar sharing through iCloud. My scenario is as follows:
    I am the IT for a small business and I am trying to get iCloud to help out our scheduling deficencies. In our business we have many schedulings per day and we have multiple people editing/adding/changing the calendar. Right now we have more then one calendar with an attempt to consolidate to one main calendar. The problem is obvious with this scenario, we end up loosing track of what has been changed or someone forgets to add or adjust the MAIN calendar.
    Now from what I understand there is a way to share a single calendar across multiple devices/iCloud accounts. Is this true?
    How do you share the calendar across different accounts?
    Also what do you think the best way to setup the devices? When sharing the calendar across accounts does it mark who added or edited a scheduling ie. by color coding or by iCloud ID? Should I just create one iCloud account and share that across all the different devices owned by the company? Or should I create multiple accounts for each device and share the calendar across the multiple different devices?
    I think the multiple different iCloud account would be beneficial solely for the fact of knowing who made the edit or addition (if it does indeed do that some how).
    Can you make an iCloud account without having an iCloud device?
    Any help will be appreaciated!
    Thanks,
    Jm

    Hi jm6001!
    1) Login to https://www.icloud.com/ and then open the calendar.
    2) Click in the top bar on the "Show calendars"-button. Now you can see all your calendars on the left side.
    3) Beside every calendar is a "Share Calendar"-Symbol in a small circle.
    4) Click on this button and you can invite other iCloud-members to view or edit this calendar.
    (Please excuse my meager English.)

  • Cannot accept invites from notifications in iCloud Calendar & no notifications in iCal on iMac

    Hi,
    I do not get notifications for invites on Calendar application on iMAC ?
    I do get invite notifications on iCloud Calendar, but when I try to accept I get an error message "Cannot save invitation reply" and so I cannot accept.
    Please advise
    file://localhost/Users/Gino/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202012-11-27%20at%2019.06.00.png

    I have the same problem. 
    I get Gmail email with the outlook invite from business associates. New 5c won't let me accept or decline.  A cascade of problems follows: 
    The sender and all others do not know if I'll be attending, no reply can go out on my phone.
    I have to sign in on my gmail from a computer which I don't always have thus delaying.
    If I need to reply asap I have to do so via an email. This makes more work for sender and affects my credibility.
    I don't know all meeting attendees and can't email them all so they're left in the dark.
    I have to manually put in all info to my calendar - which we know increases work, decreases efficiency and increases likelihood for error.
    This is a BIG problem. Help please!!

  • Help! iCloud Calendar Sharing - diff accounts

    As I'm away regularly with work, I thought it would be ideal to share my calendar (not my full work calendar but the one on my iphone which I add holidays and over night stays etc to) with him. So I went through iCloud and shared my calendar with him. Please note, we have totally separate Apple and iCloud IDs to each other.
    However, on his iPhone it has now merged my appointments with his. If he deselects my calendar (in the calendar menu, it says shared by Kerry), his appointments disappear also. I asumed it would be like outlook, so he could look at his, or at mine totally separately, and that they wouldn't merge. Is there something one of us is missing here, and easy way to share mine with him but keep them as 2 distinct calendars on his phone?
    Thank you!

    If it helps, I'm facing a similar issue.
    My wife and I both have unique Apple IDs that we use with iCloud. Different accounts with different contacts, calendars, etc.
    Originally we just invited each other to the other's events. However, as we started to use the service more and mroe we realised that sharing would be better, and save the invites for occasions we'll both be present at.
    So, in iCloud we invited each other to view the other's calendars. Beautiful. We can now see both calendars, on my Mac, on the phones, in iCloud.
    However, it seems there are some quite egregious bugs.
    When she creates an item and invites me it appears hollow in both calendars. It should appear solid in hers where it is a defines event, and hollow in mine til I either accept or decline. If I accept it appears in both, as it should.
    If I decline, or accept then decline, it is removed from both calendars. Clearly, not the behaviour that is desired. Quite the opposite.
    It is clear that removing an item in my calendar that originated in hers should not remove the original entry in hers.
    This bug has destroyed the utility of calendar sharing completely.

  • Google calendar / iCloud calendar sharing

    Hi --
    I use iphone and my husband uses an Android. He is not interested in using icloud calendar, but we want to share calendars with eachother. I am able to see his google calendar, but when I shared my icloud calendar with him he was asked to sign in with an apple id. He is not interested in using icloud calendar does he have to have an apple id for me to share my calendar with him? It doesn't seem useful if I can't share my calendar with anyone who isn't an apple user. Please help!

    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a8694 say's:
    Sharing works as follows:
    Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format.
    A public calendar can’t be edited by anyone but the calendar owner (the creator).
    Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users.
    Participants can view the calendar using iCloud Calendar, Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or the Calendar app on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    I'm not 100% sure, but I think your husband would have to create an iCloud account to subscribe to private iCloud calendars then use something like SmoothSync (from Google Play) for them to appear on his phone. I can't test this so I can't be sure, but I know SmoothSync is required to view iCloud calendars on Android - I just don't know whether it applies to privately shared ones too.
    You're probably better off just using public sharing. The calendars aren't publicly accessible on the web, it's just the calendar URL (which is obscure so can't be stumbled upon or guessed) doesn't require a password to subscribe to.

  • Icloud calendar sharing problem

    I invited my wife to see my calendar(s) such as work personal etc and works great as I type an event she sees it right away.(no problem) But then i accepted her invite(via email as she accepted mine) to her calendars(she has iphone 5) and while I can SEE her calendars(title of them in calendar listing) I cant see any events in them nor when she adds an event it does not update to my phone.
    Note: This is the same on the icloud website. I SEE her calendars(titles) but NO events within them.
    Is this an icloud issue or phone issue?
    One confusing note: if there was issue with the apple id or simular why then can SEE the calendar? I would think I would not see calendar at all if that was the issue.
    BTW I have 3gs OS is 6.1.3 and not jailbreaked or anything.
    Whats going on? Thanks for your help

  • How to share an icloud calendar without sharing local calendars

    I have created an icloud calendar for family use.  I want us to be able to view/edit it in the Calendar app on our macs and on our ios devices. But we don't want our local (business and school) calendars uploaded to icloud. Only one of us have upgraded to Yosemite, and none of us to ios8, as we don't like the new interface. We are therefore mostly using ios7 and Mavericks, though one is using 10.6 still and another is a google phone user.  Notwithstanding the last two oddities, it seems to be impossible to find a solution, even without the Calendar integration.
    Does anybody have a solution for this no doubt common situation?

    Hi Bill,
    Referencing iCloud: Calendar sharing overview
    If the other shares their iCloud calendar as public, you can add it to your Calendar without using iCloud, but you can only view it, no edits.
    So here the answer is Yes.
    Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format.
    A public calendar can’t be edited by anyone but the calendar owner (the creator).
    If you need to be able to edit the Calendar, then you need to have iCloud Calendar enabled.
    Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users.
    As the owner (creator) of a shared calendar, you assign edit privileges to the invitees to control who can modify the calendar.
    You stated earlier, "When you configure the connection to iCloud you only have the option to merge all your calendars into one on iCloud."
    That is not what happened for me. Each local calendar got "merged" with the same calendar on iCloud but each stayed separate.  If some of the local calendars didn't exist on iCloud, then they were duplicated on iCloud.  So for example, Home and Work local calendars became Home and Work iCloud calendars.
    iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal - Apple Support
     If you have local calendars, they are merged with iCloud when you set up iCloud Calendar. 
    That doesn't say they are merged into one big calendar.
    The calendars created in iCloud are not shared by default. You need to manually share the ones you want to share.  So to view someone else's shared calendar, you do not need to share your own.
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    If when setting up iCloud calendars you get calendars on iCloud you do not want there, you can delete them from iCloud.

    Hope that helps.  If not, please contact support for help clearing this up.
    Take care,

  • How to share only free/busy info in iCloud calendars?

    I currently use Google Calendar to manage my calendars, with some calendars fully shared (view full event details, read/write) with my wife. 
    I also have been sharing my availability with non-Mac using clients and external partners using Tungle (and am transitioning to TimeBridge, www.timebridge.com now that RIM killed Tungle).  Similarly, my wife currently shares free/busy info in her personal calendar with a work colleague who is on Google Calendars as well so he can see her availability even when it is affected by non-work events.
    Lately we've been having increasing trouble with random Google sync issues, so I'm considering switching to iCloud calendar sharing instead.
    We would like to continue sharing free/busy info with some people, and from what I've read iCloud doesn't have this sort of functionality.  Even when a calendar is shared publicly, people can view all event details -- something we definitely DON'T want clients or work colleagues to have full access to.
    Is there any way to sync my iCloud calendars into a third-party site like TimeBridge or even Google Calendars so that I can share only my availability externally?  Or any other workaround?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, his Mac is not local to me. I would have to drive about 30 miles each way, which is not too bad, but I won't have time to do it for a couple of weeks and I am hoping an easier solution can be found without me having to drive, especially since if the problem is on my end, that trip would be a waste of time for both of us.

  • Icloud calendar: allow editing remains on, view only

    Hello Readers
    Very successfully using icloud calendars sharing between family members.
    The issue i have is ALLOW EDITING: ON remains on.
    Each time I select OFF > edit calendar > Done > Done to close amd exit out.
    it enables view and edit to the user when I login to the settings again.
    We do not want the other permitted viewer/persons to edit by accident only view or events/schedules.
    Suggestions?

    Solved it myself. Can't do it by device have to do it by the icloud account then refresh the calendars.

  • HT203521 In iOS8 I can't turn off shared iCloud calendar alerts. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and am constantly getting their alarms for upcoming appointments. Settings- Notifications- Calendar- Shared Calendar Changes turns off changes only.

    Have had new iPhone 6 for 2 months, using iOS 8.  I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and I am getting bombarded with their upcoming appointment alerts.  There seems no way to turn this off.  I went to Settings->Notifications->INCLUDE(Calendar)->Shared Calendar Changes and turned everything off, but this only blocks alerts about new events or changes to events being added to the calendars, it does not block the 5-minute/10-minute/etc. alarms that go off immediately in advance of the appointment.  There used to be a setting in iOS7 in "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" way at the bottom to turn off alarms from shared calendars, but I don't see that in iOS8.  Any ideas?

    Finally figured this out when I read jodiemcneill 's post about Google calendars.  Thanks!
    Reposting the basic idea: to turn off event alerts from shared ICloud calendars, select the Calendar App, then click the "info" (i.e., the circled red 'i') icon next to the shared iCloud calendar to be silenced. Go down to "Notifications" and turn the slider off for "Event Alerts: (Allow events on this calendar to display alerts.)"
    For good measure, you can also turn off the slider for "Show Changes" to prevent the calendar from displaying messages when shared events are added/modified/deleted, although this can be done "globally" for all shared iCloud Calendars in Settings->Notifications->Calendar->Invitations (turn off all sliders, click "none" for Alert Style).
    This has been a major pain in the ... neck ... for the past 3 months.  So glad to start the new year with a suddnely-much-quieter iPhone 6.

  • Shared iCloud calendar colour keeps changing

    I haven't had this problem for a while, but this week my the calendar my wife shares with me in iCloud keeps changing colour.
    I am running iOS 6.1.3 and we have had the shared calendars set up for ages. Now no matter what i do her calander displays as blue, even though it is yellow when i log into iCloud on the web.
    When I change to colour to purple on either my iPad or iPhone the colour changes on the web iCloud calendar but displays as blue in iCal on my mac, and in iCal on both my iPad and iPhone.
    I haven't added any other new calendars or accounts recently, so I have no idea why this is happening (again)
    Anyone else having this problem and/or found a solution?

    I started having this problem in late June. Both the names and colours for some of my shared calendars suddenly changed to the names and colours used by the calendar owners (instead of the names and colours that I have assigned to them). This had worked just fine ever since shared calendars became available until June, 2013. My Mom and my sister are having the same problem.
    I reported the problem to Apple support on July 3, and they ran through some troubleshooting with me. The names and colours are correct on the calendar app in Mountain Lion as well as iCloud.com through Safari on my Mac. However, when the calendar syncs to any iOS device, the namea and colours on SOME of the shared calendars change. This even occurs when setting up a brand new iPad for the first time.
    If I change the name and colour on either my iPhone or iPad, the change seems to sync back to iCloud, but, just a few seconds later, the calendar app on iOS begins syncing again and the names and colours change back.
    I spoke to two levels of support at Apple who were not able to resolve the problem. The second rep said the problem needed to be forwarded to an Apple engineer for investigation. It's now been over a month, and there has still been no response from their engineers. I've contacted Apple twice for an update, and they said the engineers still have not replied.

  • Sharing My iCloud Calendar

    I am just starting to use my iCloud calendar and I have it set up so my wife can view and edit it. We've found that while she can add new appointments she can't add the invitees. What could the problem be?

    Shared calendars cannot be used for adding invitations - at least not from the 'subscribed side'.
    Imagine she invites someone to your event - who should receive the email confirmation when the third party accepts it? You, both of you or her because she sent it? I think the standard allows for one recipient of the confirmation (the calendar owner) so she wouldn't see the results of the invitation until you dealt with it - messy no?
    You probably don't have the same contact details either so it starts getting complex in terms of privacy & sharing contact details.
    Sorry I can't think of anyway around it besides having her share a calendar to you aswell.

  • Error Message: "Calendar has unexpectedly stopped" while joining shared iCloud calendar.

    When attempting to join a shared iCloud calendar from a family member, I receive this error message:
    Calendar has unexpectedly stopped.
    An unexpected error has prevented this application from working properly.
    Details:
    ERROR
    SC.Store#find() must pass recordType or query
    The details also contain a large amount of diagnostic information which I have sent to Apple.
    Is there anything else I can do to prevent this error from occurring?

    I'm having the same problem on my wife's computer. I successfully joined several shared calendars from my account, and suddenly started getting this message on the last one. I've tried again repeatedly over the last 24 hours, including sending a new invitation, logging her out of iCloud website, etc.
    Did you find any resolution to the problem?
