Other users suddenly seeing my iCal calendars since upgrade

Since the new MobileMe calendar upgrade, my wife's login on the same computer sees all of my iCal calendars. She gets all the alarms and notifications I set for myself, which is a bit annoying for her. I do not have any sharing enabled either in iCal or in the MobileMe calendar interface. My calendars appear under the "<my_name>@me.com" heading on the left of her iCal window.
I have a full MobileMe account and she has only the "@me.com" email address but she uses iCal to sync with her iPhone. We've had this setup for years, since mac.com. Never had an issue like this before. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

Have you migrated your MobileMe to iCloud? If you haven't you need to go to http://me.com and do so now, and I mean now.
That done, the method for sharing iCloud calendars is described here:

Letting two users share one synced iCal Calendar

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to share a single iCal calendar between two users, giving both users the ability to make changes to the calendar. Is this possible with Apple's iCal?
As an example, say I'd like to create a calendar for a trip itnerary. I'm in New York and my host ("Sara") is in San Francisco. I open my iCal, select the "Itinerary" calendar and enter a few events into it. Then, Sara opens her iCal and it automatically loads the "Itinerary" calendar, showing the events I've entered. Knowing San Francisco better than I do, she decides to alter my "Explore Chinatown" entry by extending the hours. The next time I open my iCal, I see the changes Sara made in the "Itinerary" calendar.
I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but even though I searched for it I couldn't find information answering this question. If you can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Mac OS X (10.4.3) iCal Version 2.0.3

If I understand .Mac's services correctly, it
features the ability to let users subscribe to a
calendar, that is read another person's published
calendar, but NOT to make changes on that calendar
and then send these changes back to the publisher,
transparently. Unless I'm mistaken in this regard,
.Mac does not provide a means to let two users share
a single iCal calendar which they can BOTH make
changes to and BOTH keep synced with the other user's
calendar.
yes it does!!!!!!!!
simply log into the single .mac account from any number of computers and use isync. We do this every day between our office & home computers. The calenders in ical are idendical on both. Any alteration can be synced to .mac and the other computer will pick up the change next time it is synced. If there is a conflict, isync will ask which version (either .mac or the computer being synced) to use.
I think that you are confusing publishing calenders and syncing them
However, even if that can be done with .Mac (and if
it can, I'd love to learn how), I require a solution
that doesn't utilitze .Mac because in my particular
situation, the other user with whom I want to share
calendars does not have a .Mac subscription and will
not be able to get one.
The other user does not need a .mac account. The whole point is that they are syncing to the one (ie your) account.
Therefore, I need a solution
that does not rely on .Mac.
Wrong. It would seem that .mac would work.
The only problem is that all the calenders in ical will sync.

How can I get Siri to not see some iCal calendars?

When I ask to see my calendar, Siri shows calendars that I want to supress. I have some iCal calendars with misc info (warranties, medicines, etc.) that I turn off in iCal, off on the phone calendar. But Siri shows me (for ex: "19 meetings"" when I ask to see my calendar. How can I get Siri to avoid those calendars I have turned off elsewhere? Thanks!

If it is your own conference bridge you can create a new contact named "My Bridge" and enter your 1800 number along with a "wait" command and pass code and #. It would look something like this 1-800-555-5555;12345678#. This way when you tell Siri to call "My Bridge" she'll dial and then you'll notice an option in the lower left to dial the pass code. Press that and you're all set. You can do the same for frequent conference bridges you connect to. Hope this helps.

I need to see an iCal calendar on my Windows XP/Outlook

I need to view and/or edit an iCal calendar from an Apple user, I am on a Windows XP laptop...
looking for a better solution than iCal Exchange Thank you
pierre

I'm not disagreeing with you by any means, but why wouldn't you recommend Norton? I've read tons of reviews and they say that it is competent and I'm planning to get it. For my PC [I've never had Antivirus on my current 2009 MBP] I've used Kapersky.
Just curious, as Mac is getting somne popularity so viruses are bound to pop up [more often] for Mac in the future, and I'm trying to future proof my Mac for at least 3-4 years.

Can Blackberry users subscribe to published iCal calendar?

I have published an iCal calendar to my MobileMe account. Of course, doing so generates a link which allows Mac/iPhone users to subscribe by clicking the link. PC users can subscribe to it through Outlook by clicking the link, and so forth.
There has to be a way to have BB users to subscribe to the calendar and get updates in real time like iPhone users, isn't there?
Just want to make a calendar available to parents on a sports team... thanks in advance for any advice.

Greetings,
I'm afraid I am not a Blackberry user myself so I can't answer (although perhaps someone else in this forum is a RIM user and will have some additional insight for you).
What I can tell you is:
iCal creates a "webcal" publication on the MobileMe server. Any program / device that supports the webcal standard (iCal, iPhone, iPod, Outlook on Windows, etc.) should be able to subscribe to that link.
Your question really is "Does Blackberry support the webcal standard and if so, how do I add a webcal link to a Blackberry?" That question might be better asked of Blackberry users or RIM, the company that makes Blackberry. As they are the people that use Blackberrys / the company that makes the product, they would know the answer.

Hope that is of some use to you.

Can multiple users alter a published ical calendar/to do list?

two people , both with .mac accounts and used to using and publishing ical calendars, want a shared task list and shared calendar. both should be able to alter both.
is it possible?
thanks
e

This is exactly what a colleague and I want to do - and two more colleagues will want to join in on our shared calendar and to do list soon . All of us have .mac accounts etc. Surely lots of people would want this straightforward feature too....
We don't, however, want to have to swap our .mac login details with each other. If I understand you right Gotham, that is what your soultion is. Thanks but not suitable for me.
If iCal can't do this, why not? and what can?

The account application created using can see current Blank Site page but no other user account see current page only some old page?

Hello Community
    Using Sharepoint 2010 Server and the UI, building an intranet
starting with a Blank Site and then adding subsites can be accomplished.
    However, in this case the current Blank Site page that was created only shows
when logged in using the account that the application was created under.
    Any other account used to login with when the url is typed into the
address bar does not show the current Blank Site page.
   Instead when using any other account the page that is returned is
some page that was created early in in the creation of the site.
    A Blank site is said to be:
        "A blank site for you to customize based on your requirements."
    I checked-in the v4.master and approved it but the problem still exists.
    Then I checked the Site Collection features under Site Collection
Administration "Active" contains:
    Sharepoint Server Publishing Infrastucture
    Sharepoint Server Standard Site Collection features
    Then I checked under Site Actions has Manage Site features "Active"
contains:
    Sharepoint Server Publishing
    Sharepoint server Standard Site features
    It is said that maybe the page needs to be "Published". Basically
this is a Blank Site page so when the instructions says:
   "To publish a page, on the page that you are editing, on the
Page Editing toolbar, click Publish."
    I am unable to do it because when I:
       "Edit Page"
    There is not no option on the ribbon to choose "Publish".
    Neither did I see the "Publish"option when editing the v4.master in SPD.
    In summary, when logged in with the account that everything was created
under I can see the current Blank Site with the Lists and everthing else
on the page but how come when I login with any other user account
I don't see the current Blank Site page but instead see some old page that
I may have created earlier when creating the application?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Hello Community
    I think it is worth mentioning that the Top Link Bar shows what appears
on the current Blank Site page but it is the OOTB NoteBoard and Discussion Board
List which both reside in Left web part on the Blank Site page that has been replaced
on the page by what had been in an old Content Editor web part during early creation.
    How can I grant permissions to the OOTB NoteBoard and the Discussion Board List
that would allow other user accounts to see them, thus making the entire current Blank Site page
visible other user accounts?
    Thank you

How do I set my wife's iPhone to only see certain iCal calendars on her iPhone?

My wife and I just purchased 2 iPhone 4S's. We are sharing one Addple ID and one iCloud account with our iMac. I keep several iCal calendars, which were all created on our iMac. I am able to access them and get alerts from my iPhone with no problem. However, she also receives the tasks from all of the calendars on her iPhone as well. Even after I click the calendar icon on her iPhone > go to the iCloud calendars and uncheck all of my calendars, my tasks still keep showing up on her phone. How can I set it so she only sees calendars she'd created or those that are intended to be shared? Do we have to have 2 Apple IDs and/or iCloud IDs for this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm not sure why when you uncheck the calendars on her phone that the calendars are still visible within the app, that isn't supposed to be the way it works.
Why are you averse to having individual iCloud accounts.

I have a application installed in my apps folder but others users cannot see them

I installed an app on my imac using OSX Lion. The app is in the application folder of the admin account. The other standard users cannot see the app. Is there a way that they can use the app and see it in the application folder when they log in?

Then move it into their application folders as well.

Preventing other users from seeing my files

Hi,
I'm not exactly a UNIX person but the below folder:
drwx------ 8 myfolder staff 272 Dec 27 17:34 myid
Should only be readable by myself (myid) right? I see no group permissions. So why are other users able to navigate into this folder and see its contents?
Thanks,
Brandon
Message was edited by: bmm727

Done - but it doesn't seem to be that different.
togoshis-MacBook-Pro:~ myid$ ls -ladeO myfolder
drwx------ 8 myid staff - 272 Dec 27 17:34 myfolder
I did notice that other folders which MacOS sets up as not readable by other users (e.g. - folders in the user directory) have a permission more like this:
drwx------+
I'm not sure what the trailing '+' represents.
Oh and Happy New Year all.

How to alarm other viewers/writers of my ical calendar

I created a calendar on ical. I have 6 people who view the calendar. I need to remind one person to do something on that day and time. Is there anyway to alarm the other person besides myself?

Carlo,
The fact that this question has been left unanswered for over 2 months seems a little negligent on the part of Apple Support.
This Forum is unfortunately not Apple Support. According to Apple:
What is Apple Discussions and how can it help me?  "Apple Discussions is a user-to-user support forum where experts and other Apple product users get together to discuss Apple products. You'll find a wealth of information about your favorite Apple hardware and software products that will help you get the most out of your purchase. You can participate in discussions about various products and topics, find solutions to help you resolve issues, ask questions, get tips and advice, and more.
If you have a technical question about an Apple product, be sure to check out Apple's support resources first by consulting the application Help menu on your computer and visiting our Support site to view articles and more on our product support pages."
In direct response to your questions, I would say that (as observed by the OP) anyone who subscribes to a published calendar can make a change to their desired view using the "Preferences" icon which is displayed underneath the mini-month calendars.
There is no way that I know of to directly or conveniently change the time-range. There may be workarounds, but I could not find a suitable solution for you.
I would recommend that you provide iCal Feedback, if you are interested in informing Apple of your desires.

I cannot see my iCal calendar on my iPhone through iCloud?

I just upgraded to iOS5 with iCloud etc. I cannot see any events from iCal. I have BusyCal installed and running - do I need to disable that first? Otherwise, how would I get the calendar events to show?

Hi fredrodgers,
It sounds like you have some questions about viewing your calendar on your iPhone with iOS 8. Here is a link for you that can explain some different ways you can view your calendar in iOS 8:

Is it possible to hide a page in a Numbers spreadsheet so that other users cannot see it?

I have a five page spreadsheet in Numbers that I share with key employees so that they can enter daily data; I would like to hide Sheet 3 of the spreadsheet as it has payroll information that ties in with the other sheets but that I do not want anyone to see or alter but me. Is there any way to do this?

Hi Emergin,
You can make it difficult to snoop. Nothing will prevent a Numbers-savvy user from undoing these tricks.. However:
Adding to SG's reply, create some dummy sheets (tabs) and drag the payroll info sheet tab to the right.
Drag the payroll table a fair way down that sheet.
Set the text colour to match the cell fill colour. The cells will appear to be blank.
Set the Column width to a very small value.
After you lock the table, cover it with a Rectangle Shape with a white fill and lock that. It will be invisible until someone clicks on it.
Scroll up to the top of the sheet and insert a 'dummy' table.
Go to the input sheet and save.
Copy this reply and save it in your 'panic' drawer for when you forget what you did .
Regards,
Ian.

I Cannot Delete Any Calendars Since Upgrading to Mavericks

Every time I try and delete a calendar it disappears, then reappears when iCloud updates again.
I've tried deleting the calendar(s) from iCloud, from my iOS devices, from my iMac, from my laptop.
It is always the same.
It disappears then reappears.
Does anyboday know what to do?
cheers,

Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it’s your User’s folder that contains the problem.
Put a PDF in the Shared folder. Put one you created and one from another source.
Your Hard Drive/Users/Shared
When you "Switch Users", you can access the PDFs in the shared folder.
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
Open System Preferences and make sure a printer is selected.
Drag the PDfs from Shared (it actually copies) to Desktop. Try printing
Do you still see the issue?
If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.
