Missing shared calendars using iCal and OS X Mountain Lion

My wife and I sharing our family calendars using iCloud. I created some of them and shared them ith my wife and she created others as well and shared them with me. Up here, business as usual :-)
I'm not sure about the concrete time it happens, but for a while I'm missing the calenders of my wife in the +-Menu of iCal and today my wife told me, shes missing my cals, too.
Using our mobile devices (iPad, iPod) we are both able to create new events in every calender. A new event created in my own calendars is editable and can be moved into one of the shared cals of my wife.
Anyone out there having a solution for this?
Thanks
Stephan

The following is a summary of other posts: It helped some of us. Try it out!
1. Make a backup ( a) Time Machine, b) Export > Archive iCal) Close iCal
2. In Finder hold down alt-Key while choosing "Go to..." menu
3. Select Library
4. In the folder Calendar delete the files
Calendar Sync Changes
Calendar Cache
5. In the folder Preferences delete the files
com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.plist
com.apple.iCalExternalSync.plist
com.apple.syncserver.plist
(not sure which one is the bad guy, but it did not hurt to erase all of them)
6. Start iCal, it will update itself.

    I use to use ichat and now with Mountain Lion I only have FaceTime, will this work as easy as ichat? I try to keep in touch with my son and his family, he has a Mac also. I have never tried to do a video chat with my new Mountain Lion. I have set-up FaceTime and thought I would throw the question out before we try and get together.   Thanks,   Gilbert

    Ichat is now called Messages and is in your Applications folder.

  • OS X v 10.5 can use this and go to mountain lion, or i need 10.6 and go to downloading it

    OS X v 10.5 can i use this and go to a mountain loin, or i need the 10.6, i could have downloading then to mountain lion

    You need 10.6.
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Missing a calendar in iCal after syncing with MobileMe....

    i am having some problems with iCal ...i am missing one my Calendars in iCal and wasn't sure how to get it back. I downloaded the calendars file and calendar.plist from my Time Machine backup...the missing calendar showed up at first, but it seemed to disappear right away (i assume after syncing with MobileMe.) Not sure what would be the easiest way to bring it back.......

    It's possible to restore from Time Machine, though it's a slightly complicated process. Please follow very carefully the steps described here:

  • I invited someone to share a calendar on ical and it didn't go through -

    Hi.
    I invited my business partner to share a calendar on ical and was successful.  I then invited my husband, who has an older mac and older OS but my invitation didn't even get through to him.  Does anyone have advice? 
    Thanks, Julie

    If both have Apple devices AND both have data plans, why don't you message each other using iMessages instead of regular SMS?
    iMessages get sent thru the TCP/IP Internet rather than the cellular network so they are essentially free (other than any data cap you may have, irrellevant if the iGadget is connecting via Wi-Fi).

  • Shared Calendars / Room Lists and automatically forcing them to users based on Security Group Membership

    Good morning all,
    I need some help achieving the following in our Exchange 2013 Environment.  First off, we have Exchange 2013, but all our clients have Outlook 2010.
    Here's what I would like to be able to do:
    1) create/manage public calendars / rooms in exchange 2013
    2) force these shared public calendars / rooms to users' calendars who are members of particular security groups
    3) give edit permissions / "booking" permissions for the shared calendars so select users are able to make changes to the shared calendars, as well as accept/deny requests to "book" shared room calendars
    Any one got any resources they can give to point me in the right direction?
    I have already created two mailbox room resources, and have them set up in a room list in AD.  But need to know the above as far as creating a shared calendar for events, and forcing these calendars / room lists out to users based on security group
    membership.
    I don't want my users to have to know how to add a shared calendar...that would be a nightmare explaining.  I just want it to show up.
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated, thank you!

    1) I recommend using Room Mailboxes for resource calendars because it just works better.
    2) This is a standard feature of a Room Mailbox.
    3) You're pretty specific here, but I think this is also more or less available with a Room Mailbox combined with folder rights.
    I don't know any way to just make them "show up".  You'll have to teach them.  Well written instructions can work wonders.

  • I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications.  What am I doing wrong???

    I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications. Remove alerts or cancel 
    What am I doing wrong or missing??

    I have this same problem in October of 2013. I am unable to import .ics files into Lion that I exported from my Snow Leopard MacBookPro without losing all of my future events (which all have alerts attached). All of the events from BEFORE today's date are successfully importing, presumably because they are no longer expected to trigger alerts via Apple Mail. After my first unsuccessful attempt, I learned that iCal was communicating with iCloud by default. I have since turned off iCloud, but I have not found a solution to the problem. Harvey

  • How can I edit iCal server addresses in Mountain Lion? I keep getting an error with regards to my google calendar and I understand that the way to fix the problem is adjust the server address, but I cannot access it because the preferences are restrictive

    How can I edit iCal server addresses in Mountain Lion?
    I keep getting an error message with my google calendar, and I heard that if I delete the extra slash at the end of the address the problem will be fixed. But the iCal account preferences take me to system preferences > accounts every time I want to edit the account.
    Does anyone know where I can edit the server address?

    You should ask in the iCloud forum, this is for iMacs. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

  • IOS 7: How to view shared calendars using apple Calendar server

    We use an OS X Server with Calendar server. On OS X you can see shared (delegated) calendars in Calendar by selecting the them in the preferences.
    Using iOS 6 one could view shared CalDAV calendars by adding the same account more than once each with a different server URL. A fair bit more work but once configured it worked like a charm.
    The Calendar app on iOS 7 still does not show delegated or shared calendars using the Calendar server from Apple. Because iOS 7 does not allow to add a CalDAV account more than once the iOS 6 workaround is no longer possible.
    How can I view shared Calendars on iOS 7?

  • Can I transfer the entries in my calendar using NFC and S Beam to another Galaxy III?

    Can I transfer the entries in my calendar using NFC and S Beam to another Galaxy III or is there another way?

        Hi Jcrumet!
    Fantastic question! I know its important to have a device that can help make daily activities easy. Let's get this resolved. Yes, NFC through Android Beam lets you instantly share URLs, contacts and calendar events with other Android Beam-capable devices. Are you having issues completing a transfer? If so, what is the specific error message that you are receiving? Just to clarify, are you wanting another way to send a calendar entry to another galaxy 3 device outside of NFC/S Beam? Keep me posted.

  • I just started using iCal and I cannot double-click to add an event. Did I accidentally change something?

    I just started using iCal and I cannot double-click to add an event. I could when I started a couple of hours ago. Did I change something? Can I change it back?

    Kristacattack,
    The tracing results in separate paths. The straight lines show where the open filled paths start and end.
    In the first sample, you may drag with the Direct Selection Tool over the top where the straight lines meet and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join the the paths; you may do the same elsewhere to create continuous/closed paths (hopefully, you will only drag over the two endpoints, otherwise you will have to find and delete superfluous Anchor Points).
    This may be better than just cheating with the Live Paint Tool because the artwork becomes more coherent.
    Edit: Hi Monika.
