My boss needs to share his calendar with me. How can we do it without buying more hardware?

So my boss has tons of mac stuff, iPhone, macbook, iPad, etc and he has dozens of calendars all synchronized between them with iCloud. He needs to share them with me.
I signed up for an iCloud account, but it says:
"To sign in with this account, use it to set up iCloud on a device."
"To set up iCloud, go to iOS 5 Settings or OS X Lion System Preferences"
D'oh! I don't have an OSX or iOS 5 device, just an iOS 4 iTouch!  Is there a way for my boss to share his apple iCloud calendar with me on my PC (Windows 7) or my iTouch?
I usually use Google Calendar, and it's so easy to share with anybody, I expected mac to be even easier. Shouldn't a cloud based service have cloud based sharing, e.g. log onto a website and see the calendar?

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here.  If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries.  Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer.  You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple.  On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application.  So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

  • I have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    i have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    I'm not sure where you are seeing the "negative reviews" but I like it and many, many people posting here do even though this is a forum for people with problems
    No one knows when the next upgrade will be bu tit will require a purchase
    I'm sure that there will be a few more updated for iPhoto '11 but probably not many - it has had a lot and is approaching the end of its life cycle I would think
    And be sure to have a good backup prior to upgrading (as always) - I suggest in addition to your normal backup routine that you make one more copy of the iPhoto library on your main hard drive if you have space - remember that you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space jus tto run your Mac
    And prior to launching iPhoto '11 the first time be sure to run software update and be sure it is up to the latest version

  • Downloaded (free) CalenMob app to sync to google calendar, and it only shows my calendar entries but not the entries of my coworkers I share the calendar with. How do I sync to google calendar so I can see the entries of people I share my calendar with?

    I downloaded the free CalenMob app to sync phone with shared google calednar at work, but I can only see the calendar entries of some of my coworkers but not all - even though all of our calendars are shared.  Is CalenMob the best app to use for syncing to google calendar? Do I need to enter the coworkers' gmail account info onto my phone in order for their calendar entries to show up on my phone calendar?

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • Looking to buy T420 with no OS, can it be reinstalled without buying disc

    New to this site and I hope to get help with a possible purchase of a T420 that recently came off lease and has
    the factory installed windows 7 professional operating system cleaned from the computer.  Is there an online or inexpensive way of reinstalling the OS without having to spend the $100+ for a new disc.  The computer comes with the key code.

    Download the iso for the version of Windows that came with the PC.  The Cert under the battery will ID the version and have the product code.
    Burn the iso to disk and install.  It will activate on that CoA.

  • HT201303 I need a refund for iCloud storage. How can I do it without having to call abroad?

    The only thing I can find is phone number for USA which will cost a bomb. Please help coz driving me insane!

    As far I am aware the 'purchases are considered final' applies to iCloud as it does with other purchases. There are instructions for downgrading iCloud on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4009 , and you can contact iCloud support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/ww/

  • Is it possible to share my calendar with all my subscription? If so How can i find URL for this?

    Is it possible to share my calendar with all my subscription? If so How can i find URL for this?

    Hi yilmazfromlondon,
    The resource below explains how to share your iCloud calendars publicly.  Is this what you are asking about?
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. For specifics about viewing and editing privileges for shared calendars, and how participants can access the calendars, see Calendar sharing overview.
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Share a calendar publicly
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
    Note: You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
    To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
    Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
    The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
    In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
    You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

  • TS1544 I am the administrator of my MacBook Pro, which I share with my kids. One of them forgot his password, so as the admin I changed it for his account, but  when I try to see his account, it says I need to provide the keychain password. How can i get

    I am the administrator of my MacBook Pro, which I share with my kids. One of them forgot his password, so as the admin I changed it for his account, but  when I try to see his account, it says I need to provide the keychain password. How can i get it? I have no idea how to sort this out...

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

  • How can I share my calendar with my PC/Galaxy Spouse?

    What is the best way to share a calendar with my PC/Galaxy Spouse?
    I want to share my calendar with my spouse. I have a Mac/iPad/iPhone and he and he has a PC and Samsung Galaxy phone.
    Because he is not too tech savy, I was thinking that he should view the calendar via iCloud on his PC and Galaxy. That means setting up an Apple ID and iCloud account. Is this correct? OR is there a better way.
    He does not have Outlook on his PC currently ( but could ) and uses just his phone calendar. I’m not sure if I want him to be able to modify the calendar or not.

    Install emclient (on the PC's), sign into the account (create the account using your iPad or iPhone)
    Install Smoothsync on the Galaxy's (for contacts and/or calendars), sign them into the same account.
    Any calendar entries will appear on everything connected to the account.

  • I share my calendar with my wife.  Every time I enter a new appointment, she receives an email alerting her to it.  She has asked me to turn this off as it just fills up her email inbox with my "spam."  Any help doing this would be appreciated.  Thanks

    I share my calendar with my wife.  Every time I create a new event, it alerts her to it by send her an email.  She thinks this is just my "spam" and wants me to turn it off.  I can't figure out how to do this.  Can someone give me the answer?  Thanks

    I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
    You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
    This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

  • My employer wants me to share his calendar but I do not want to share anything but his calendar.  Is that possible?

         My employer wants me to share his iCloud calendar, but that's all I want to share.  I don't want him to have my contacts, bookmarks, etc.  I only want to share his calendar on my PC.  Is this possible?  Also, can I sign up for iCloud on my iPod Touch using my secondary id, but then sign out right away so that this secondary account just for the boss's calendar doesn't mix w/ anything on my iPod?

          That helps a lot (thanks!), but if you could please clarify one part of the instruction steps, I'd greatly appreciate it.  If my boss sends me the invitation using my work email (w/ Outlook), do I still accept the invitation via iCloud.com?  Will I be able to prevent him from seeing my bookmarks, contacts, etc.stored on this computer?  Finally, do I have to do something to my Outlook program or via my PC's control panel to complete the process?

  • My husband invited me to share his calendar.  I can't see the invitation on my phone.  Thoughts?

    My hsuband  invited me to share his calendar.  I can't see the invitation on my phone (we both have iphone 4, 6.0.1).  What do I need to do to access his calendar?  He has access to mine.

    Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
    iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

  • Is there a way to share my calendar with my husband's products if I create on own apple id for my new iphone 5 and mini?

    Is there a way to share my calendar with my husband's products if I create a separate Apple ID for my new iPhone 5 and iPad mini?

    Yes, Just sync them to the same calendar on your computer or internet, i.e. Google, Yahoo, etc.

  • 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.
