New shared MobileMe calendars

After updating MobileMe calendar on MobileMe, shared calendars, one of the new features, does not appear on the iPad. Is this an iPad 4.X feature?

In the simplest of terms, to get designated "shared" calendars (the new MobileMe feature) to appear on the iPad just as these designated "shared" Calendar appear on the iPhone. My "Work" calendar on MobileMe is "shared" to my wife. That "shared" calendar appears on her iPhone Calendar and her iMac Calendar, but not the iPad calendar. It is not clear (or maybe I'm not reading it correctly) in the Apple literature that this feature is an iPad 4.xx feature which will not work until 4.xx is released in November.

Shared MobileMe calendars - gone forever?

My team shares a couple of calendars in MobileMe. They're pretty key to doing our jobs effectively. I've migrated to iCloud, and lost those calendars. And my team is unable to invite me back, because my iCloud ID is the same as my MobileMe ID, and emailed invitations include a completely unhelpful link directly to MobileMe (and attempting to log into MobileMe provokes the cheerful message that I don't need to do that anymore - my old MobileMe work and home calendars showed up just fine). Even when the rest of the team migrates, how are we supposed to share anything between now & the retirement of MobileMe? We need a fix immediately, even if it means going back to Google Calendar. Do I have a choice?

Have your colleagues migrated to iCloud also?
Regardless, they should still be able to share calendars with you.
When they click the Share icon at http://www.me.com/calendars/ or https://www.icloud.com/#calendar they will get the option to have a "webcal:" URL which you can enter into iCal to subscribe to the calendar.
I've successfully shared iCloud calendars with Mac's running Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion, with or without MobileMe or iCloud membership.

I've created a shared MobileMe calendar & can see the events my dad has added but not he can't see mine

None of the events that I've added show up on his version of the shared calendar, whether they were created before I shared it with him or after. But the ones he's created show up in mine. We've refreshed both calendars multiple times!
Seems to defeat the purpose of a shared calendar. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This does not answer my question. I'm doing everything correctly but no email is generating that asks the "subscriber" to be invited to see my album.

Link to MobileMe calendar subscriptions in Pages '09

I am working on a document with the end goal of sending out a PDF with links to subscribe to shared MobileMe calendars.
I am using Pages '09, version 4.0.5 (852), Mac OS X 10.6.7, and the new CalDAV MobileMe calendar. The problem is that every time I crate a link to the shared MobileMe webcal, Pages 'auto-corrects' the URL to begin with "http://" and breaks the link.
How I am currently creating the links:
     - Select text
     - Click the Link tab in the Inspector window
     - Click the "Hyperlink" tab
     - Check the box to "Eable as a hyperlink"
     - Choose "Webpage" from the "Link To:" drop down menu
     - Copy and paste the link to the shared MobileMe calendar (webcal://www.me.com...) in the URL: field.
Pages will automatically add in "http://" to the beginning of the URL. After this, the link takes the reader to a blank webpage rather than adding a new subscribed calendar as expected.
I have found a work around:
     - Open Finder and navigate to the desired Pages document.
     - Copy the Pages document
     - Rename the Pages document to end in ".zip" (without quotes) and choose "Use .zip" when prompted
     - Open the new ZIP file
     - Open the extracted folder (should have the same name as the ZIP file)
     - Open index.xml with TextEdit or another plain text editor
     - Use the Find and Replace feature (⌘F in TextEdit) to replace all occurrences of "http://webcal://" with "webcal://" (without quotes)
     - Save and Close index.xml
     - Go back to Finder, open the folder that was created by unzipping the the Pages document
     - Select all items in the folder (⌘A)
     - Choose File > Compress [number] Items from the menu bar
     - Rename the newly crated "Archive.zip" to "[document title].pages" (without quotes). Put the name of your document in place of [document title]
     - Open the newly created Pages document and immediately choose Share > Export... from the menu bar
Does anyone know of a more elegant way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
NChiu

I can't help you on the not having http:// part of the equation. One simpler step for you though is after you have made all your changes, instead of selecting everything in the folder and archiving, just add the extension .pages to the folder.
I know it isn't much help, but maybe a little.

How do I get the shared Family calendar to show up with Family Sharing enabled?

Hi,
I've enabled Family Sharing and added a couple of my kids, but none of us are seeing a new shared "Family' calendar. I'm just seeing my original calendar list, unchanged since enabling family sharing. I've tried signing out of iCloud and back in as the usual fix for these things There's no Family calendar anywhere: on my phone, on my laptop or on iCloud.com. Is there anything I have to do or can do to get to show up?
Thanks
Mark

You may have to update NIS and reenable the toolbar add-on via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click Extensions on the left. The disbaled add-ons are listed towards the bottom.

Error messages after new MobileMe Calendar upgrade. Solved?

Quick rundown of what I've been through and how I have solved my problem.
I have a MacBook running 10.5.6 and I also have Bento 3. Recently Bento (Filemaker) told me that I would have to complete a few steps before upgrading to the new MobileMe calendar. So I followed the steps exactly. (URL: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7846/~/setting-up-bento-for-th e-new-mobileme-calendar)
After completing the steps. I proceeded to upgrade to the new calendar. Upgraded in less than a minute and then after opening up iCal on my mac & importing my calendars, thats when things started to go wrong. I kept getting error messages on almost every even I have ever created. I could barely even quit iCal due to all the error messages. Also, many of my events werent there after importing and the progress wheel kept spinning. Complete DISASTER! (*Luckily, I made plenty of backups before doing any of this so I was safe*) But Still I had NO iCal!
I searched and searched and could not find a complete solution. So what I did was the following and so far I believe it could be the solution to all of you guys's problems.
I followed these instructions on this website (URL: http://answers.makeitwork.com/how-to-reset-ical-on-your-mac-or-how-to-clean-up-y our-ical/) **I followed these exactly**
They are below:
+Export any Calendars you wish to retain after you reset by clicking on the Calendar you wish to retain and go to File > Export… > Export…+
+Repeat the above process for every Calendar you wish to keep. (Make sure you remember where you saved them)+
+Quit out of iCal+
+Go to Finder and click on your Home icon to display the Library folder.+
+Open that folder+
+Open the Calendars folder in the subsequent window+
+Delete all the contents within that folder+
+NOTE: If you open iCal at this point, it will initially appear that you cleared everything. Within minutes, however, everything will come back.+
+Go to your Utilities folder and open the Terminal application+
+Enter the following command: rm -rf ~/Library/{Caches,Caches/Metadata,Preferences,Application\ Support}/iCal+
+Exit out of Terminal+
+Open iCal and…Voila! Brand new iCal!+
But that did not completely work. So before doing this again, I went to my iPhone and quit syncing calendars on my mobile me account. And chose to ERASE every calendar on my iPhone.
After doing that and repeating the process above, I opened up iCal and boom, it worked. Then after I had the calendars setup the way I wanted on my MacBook, I proceeded to go to Preferences>MobileMe>Sync> and then chose to sync
I then went to Me.com and checked to see if the calendar was operable and it was 100%. I could do everything like before. Then I went back to my iPhone and just turned Calendar syncing back on in my mobileme preferences.
This has solved all my problems 100%. Hope this helps someone. Just remember that as long as you created a backup of your Calendar you should be safe.

Well... seems I didn't have any answer on this. I fiddled a bit more but I have to say that I really came to wits' end at this stage. A couple of observations though:
* I don't really understand this notion of a keyboard issue. My keyboard and its layout work properly but I will not be able to login regardless of login through GDM, KDM or Slim. Yet it's worth noting that in the case of GDM and SLIM the X server starts; I see the graphical interface, I click, etc. but when I type the trouble starts.
* I tried to check my xsessions-errors file. The file is really big under a frame buffer, and it wasn't clear to me, but I found strange that the log was reporting all sorts of attempts to start KDE. I don't exactly know what's going on.
If anybody has any clue, let me know... It's becoming very frustrating.
Thanks!

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. I can get it to sync if my iMac is set to MobileMe calendar, but I cannot get rid of iCal which keeps coming up with an error message.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message.

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

ICal crashes whenever opened after upgrade to new MobileMe calendar

I upgraded to the MobileMe calendar beta, and have no problem using it on my iPhone, MacPro or the web. But iCal on my MacBook Pro now crashes every time it is opened. I can see it start up OK, then as soon as it starts showing the indeterminate spinner next to my MobileMe calendars (presumably showing it's doing a sync) it crashes. I've tried deleting all my calendar data from my Library folder but that hasn't helped.
Has anyone else seen this? Or could anyone offer any suggestion as to how I can remove the MobileMe calendars from iCal to at least get it running again? The error it crashes with (it's the same every time):

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

All entries duplicated after update to new MobileMe Calendar

Since updating to the new MobileMe Calendar, all entries in my local calendars (those that appear on both my desktop and my laptop) have every entry duplicated. Each entry that was there before the upgrade is still there and it is overlaid by an identical entry at the exact same times and with the exact same text. The calendar that appears in MobileMe does not have these duplicates. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have a solution to remove all the duplicates?

John,
I think I'm in over my head. Yesterday I was prompted to download and install the newest software for my iPhone 4. During the course of the install, I was asked if I wanted to use iCloud as my backup destination, and I answered "yes". Later I was also asked if I wanted to set up a MobileMe account, to facilitate being able to use "Find My Phone". I answered "yes" to that also. (I'm so easy!)
I finished the install and then last night I plugged my phone into the computer to sync and charge, as I always do. It was this morning that I noticed that all the entried in my Calendar (on the phone) were duplicated. I didn't have time to deal with it right away, and while I was at work, I entered a few appointments into my phone. After work, I noticed that not only were the entries on my phone duplicated, but the appointments entered on to my phone this morning, weren't appearing on iCal (on my computer).
My Calendar appointments are crucial to my business, and I need to be able to trust that what I enter on my phone will also show up on my computer, and vice versa. That's where I'm trying to go, and frankly, I don't really understand iCloud or MobileMe, and probably shouldn't have tried to upgrade without more knowledge.
I certainly appreciate the time and patience you've offered me, but I don't want to use your whole day. Worse comes to worst, I can always make an appointment at my local Apple Store. You've been very generous, and I appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Nela

New mobileme calendar

I upgraded to the new mobileme calendar and now when I open ical I have 2 calendar groups. 1 group called "on my mac" and one for "mobileme". I don't understand why there are 2. Before I had just 1 calendar on iCal and it was automatically synced with mobileme. Now when I add an event am I supposed to add to mobileme or "on my mac" or both? Anyone know how this is supposed to work?

Greetings,
You may want to go to the New Calendar section on the MobileMe support page and review it's contents. It has good information on the function of the New Calendar: http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/
The "On My Mac" section are local calendars that exist only on the computer.
__Add calendars here if you want them to only be visible on this specific Mac
The "MobileMe Account" section are server based calendars that appear on MobileMe, your computer, and any other computer/device to which you add your MobileMe account (this takes the place of syncing the calendar as the calendar simply appears on all these devices).
__Add / make changes to Calendars listed here to see the changes appear wherever this MobileMe account is used.
If you are seeing the same calendars listed under both sections follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505
I deleted all my "On My Mac" calendars and only have the ones under the MobileMe category.
Hope that helps.

Upgraded to new MobileMe Calendar and now very slow updates

System:
iPhone 3G, iOS 4.1
Mac: 10.6.4
"Upgraded" to the new MobileMe Calendar.
Now BusyCal, iCal, MobileMe and iPhone do not sync quickly (sometimes takes 30 minutes for iPhone or more). Sometimes I need to launch iCal to get MobileMe to update. On the iPhone need to leave on for a long time or turn on and off.
I think I've gone through all the conversion steps and FAQs: Apple's, MobileMe, Mac, iPhone and BusyCal.
Maybe I was just spoiled with iPhone via Airport.
Any comments/suggestions?
Thank you.

I'm seeing that problem as well and I can't figure out what why it's slower. I figured it's a bug so I reported the problem at Apple's iTunes Feedback page.
On the other hand, iTunes 9 converts MP3s to AAC format at least twice as fast as iTunes 8 did, which is a very welcome improvement.

Cannot add new shared calendar

When I attempt to add a new shared calendar (Preferences->select my associated account->Delegation) by hitting the plus sign, a new line appears, and I introduce the name of the shared calendar. But then, no matter what I do, the text disappears when I try to click the "Show" checkbox, and after that if I click outside, the whole line disappears. What is going on? How can I add the shared calendar?
Grey Wolf

I just tried this and found that after the keyboard disappears, if I touch the box to name the new calendar (where it says Untitled Calendar), the keyboard will reappear and stay put. Does that fix it for you?

Mac OS X 10.6.5 fixes sync issue after upgrading to new MobileMe calendar

The issue that prevented iSync from 'seeing' calendars after upgrading to the new MobileMe Calendar has been fixed in iSync 3.1.2, part of the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update.

Appointments made on my phone are now synced to the local calendar. How do I get these in the cloud and synced with my other devices (macbook and ipod touch)?
Unfortunately, this is the way it works now. I asked Apple about this and got the following response:
+"Events from CalDAV calendars can be synced via iSync to a phone, but events can only be created on local calendars. This is as designed."+
I haven't tried it yet, but I presume you drag events from the local calendar to the MobileMe calendar, but I don't know how this would handle duplicates.

ICal lost events after upgrading to the New Mobileme Calendar

After updating to the New MobileMe Calendar on my home computer, the iCal at work stopped syncing, i.e. none of the events show up.
I tried quitting iCal, stopped syncing, and synced again to replace data on work computer, but didn't work.
MobileMe calendar has all the data intact. iCal at home seems to load all the events fine. (10.6.6 on iMac, both at home and work.)
Please provide advice. Thanks!

Private sharing of calendars within MobileMe?

I understand that it is not possible to password protect a published iCal calendar (or at least I think that is right -- if not, that would solve my problem!)
Is it possible to somehow share viewing (not necessarily editing) of calendars within a mobileme family pack? Via a password protected shared folder on the iDisk?
My wife and I would like to be able to occasionally view each other's calendars but there are items on my calendar (like client names on meetings) that are relatively confidential.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to limit sharing of calendars... does someone know of a way?
Thanks.

Hmmm... I posted the above here because the Apple Help Chat person told me the above wasn't possible.
I just found "Publishing a password-protected iCal calendar to iDisk" on the apple website (article HT2071) via a better google search at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2071
This looks like it would work within a family group though wouldn't necessarily work with someone you were unwilling to share passwords with...
