Private/public calendar entries

I just changed my phone from Nokia E71 to iPhone. I have been used to use my Outlook calendar through the phone. The synchronization works well also between iPhone and my PC, but there is one problem which I am surprised of.
My calendar is both my private and work calendar. In Outlook and in my former phone Nokia E71 it is possible to choose, if my calendar entry is private or public. In iPhone this is not possible. Does no-one else have this problem? If yes, how on earth this can be possible.
My public calendar entries are shown to my colleagues but from private calendar entries they only see that I am occupied. Now when I make a calendar entry from my iPhone, it is always public. That is weird.

I believe this is not currently possible.
It might be a feature that Apple decide to incorporate in OS4.0 but that will only be know when it releases in the Summer.
Others have enquired on this and other forums so it would be worth sending feedback to Apple:

Can't delete calendar entry

I have some recurring entries in my calendar that won't delete. When I try to delete them, they just remain in my calendar on my 8830, although when I sync with Outlook they won't go there. When I try to open the entry to edit them, I get an error message that says "Appointment deleted externally. changes will be lost and the viewer closed".
So I can't edit them either.
Can someone please help me? I've tried doing a reboot, but that hasn't worked, and I have seen nothing like this on the support boards.
Thanks!

Bump.
I am experiencing the same thing on my 8830 and it is frustrating. I am synching with Outlook via my company's enterprise server and I have marked all of these calendar entries as private so they are not appearing in Outlook. They can't be deleted. I have not yet tried to create/delete a public calendar entry.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Calendar entries marked private

I am synchronising a Nokia N80 using PC Suite 6.81.13.0 to Outlook 2003.
All calendar entries that were entered first via the phone show as Private once they are synchronised to the PC.
Is there any way to prevent this?
Thanks

When you create the calendar entry on the phone, change the "Synchronization" setting from "Private" to "Public".

I would like to mark data on my iPhone / iPad as private or hide it. Is it possible? I could do it on my Palmpilot. Any data - addresses, calendar entries, files, anything could be hidden on the palm pilot. It'd be great to see this facility on apl pdts

I would like to mark data on my iPhone / iPad as private or hide it and only unlock it with a different password. Is it possible? I could do it on my Palmpilot. Any data - addresses, calendar entries, files, anything could be hidden on the palm pilot. It'd be great to see this facility on apple products.

I know what you meant. As I said, it's not possible to do so on the iPhone. Of course Apple could add such a feature to a future version of iOS, it's only software, but so far they haven't. You can suggest such a feature to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Outlook "Private" calendar entries

Is there any way to stop OVI from uploading "private" calendar entries to the 6710? I have a lot of "private" information (mainly reminders to do work related things) which do not really need to be uploaded to my wife's phone.

Hi Jason

Switch all calendar entries from "private" calender to "normal/standard" ca

Hi guys,
is it possible to switch all calendar entries from "private" calender to "normal/standard" calendar in one step without moving entry and entry for itself to the other calendar?
Maybe in MobileMe?
Thx!

OK,
I found out what was wrong myself.
In the end it turned out that it had nothing to do with the iOS5 upgrade itself.
In case somebody else stumbles accross this very same problem, here's what was going on:
- Within the latest lotus notes client (on PC) the user has the possibility to display (read-only) external calendar contents (e.g. google's calendar).
- When setting this up you need to supply your external calendar's login/password information and next to that
- also have the possibility to select "View this calendar when offline or on a mobile device"
It was this setting (which I probably accidentally enabled) causing the "issue". Deselecting this option made my duplicate entries disappear on my phone.

How can I share my a public calendar from iCal (through iCloud) with Outlook for Windows users?

I have a public work calendar that I wish to share with colleagues in the office. No issues for those having a Mac or an iPhone, but how can I share the calendar with Outlook for Windows users?
Thanks for the help!

Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
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.

View private shared calendar in Outlook 2013

I use a PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2013. My wife use a Macbook Pro. We both have iCloud accounts (I use iCloud 2.1.2). Both of our calendars appear in iCloud. We have private shared the calendars with each other. We both received join e-mails and joined the calendars. She can see my calendar in iCal and on her iPhone as well as her own from iCal. I can see her calendar and my Outlook calendar on my iPhone. I cannot see her calendar on Outlook. The path ahead seems to be to subscribe to an Internet Calender from Outlook but there is no path to put into the Internet Calendar path enty box. If I make her calendar public, then a path is provided and that works. I tried removing the public access, but I don't think that the calendar is updating. I am reticent to make her calendar public permanently; I am not comfortable with anyone knowing where my wife is at anytime. How do I find a webcal path to a private shared calendar on iCloud?

I recommend that you post this in the Office 365 Exchange Online Forum:

Cannot add icloud public calendar to outlook

I work and live in a mixed Mac/PC environment. The PCs are Windows 7 professional with Outlook 2010. The Macs are Yosemite. I would like to be able to subscribe to a public icloud calendar on one of the PCs. We could do this a week ago.
Now when we add the calendar it crashes Outlook. Furthermore, I noticed that the calendar address no longer ends in .ics which Outlook requires.
The new icloud control panel crashed Outlook as well.
I tried joining the private calendar and it does not show up in Outlook either.
Is the new icloud interface not ready for prime time?
Any solutions or work arounds?
Thank you in advance for any help,
Debbie

My Mac's not yet on Yosemite, so Yosemite's not the culprit.
An iCloud calendar populated from an iPad that I previously shared with my Outlook 2010 client on Windows 7 without error caused Outlook to crash, when Outlook initiated a sync attempt with my subscribed calendars, today (13th November 2014). Removing the calendar subscription allowed Outlook to run without crashing. Re-subscribing using the iCloud-provided public calendar URL once again cause Outlook 2010 to crash.
My Windows 7 PC and Office 2010 are current with all updates as of 13th November 2014.

Share Private Exchange Calendar with Entire Organization

Outlook 2010, Exchange 2007.
Scenario:
We have a few users who need to share their Exchange calendar with everyone in the organization. Right now, their private calendar is synced to a public folder calender using a third party tool Add2Exchange. This way, everyone can easily browse the Pubic
Folder tree in Outlook and find a (almost live) copy of these calendars.
Problem:
The sync software sometimes fails, and this causes conflicts in scheduling as the private and public calendars are out of sync.
Idea For Solution:
We want to delegate direct access to these private calendars, and give everyone Read-Only access to them, so there would be no need for a sync.
Problem With This Idea:
Users can no longer simply browse their Outlook sidebar and find calendars this way. They must go through the process of "Open User's Folder", Chose calendar, chose the user, attach the calendar. This would have to be done for everyone in the unit,
and for multiple calendars.
Is there a way I can automate this? I just want to delegate the calendars, and then have them automatically show up in everyone's calendar list next time they open Outlook. Is this something that can be scripted and deployed through AD? I can't seem to find
anything online to address this.
Are there other ideas I should consider?

Hi,
As what ED Crowley says, there is no solution in AD or Exchange server to automatically map shared calendar to users’ Outlook client.
We can create a public folder “Share Calendars” for sharing a user’s calendar to all users. Then add Publishing Editor permissions for UserA, UserB to publish their Calendar to Share Calendars. And UsersA and UserB need to manually update the Calendar of
Public Folders in their Outlook client. For more information about
How to Add Permissions for Client Users to Access Public Folder Content in Exchange 2007, please refer to:

Accessing old calendar entries

Hi - I am new to the forum - hoping someone can help me. Doing my taxes and I put all of my appointments in my BB and didn't write them down for last year. Does anyone know how to access events that are older on our BB calendar? I see nothing on my calendar for the months of last year... HELP?!

inside the Calendar application, in the options, there is a setup to delete old calendar entries after some time. Please check how many days you have allowed before deletion. Mine is set to "forever".
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

Calendar entry takes along time. I get the spinning color wheel after each tab.

Calendar entry takes along time. I get the spinning color wheel after each tab. How do I avoid this?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Get Public Calendar from Exchange

The "experts" said it can't be done, but we downloaded Add2Exchange from diditbetter.com and set up syncing relationships between our Private calendars and our Public calendar, where all our corporate appointments are kept. Now our Public info syncs with our iPhones. GREAT STUFF! You also can use the software to sync Private/Public Contacts and Tasks.
We are in our 21-day trial period, but it looks like we will be purchasing this Exchange add-in. If you need iPhone access to your Public folders, have your Exchange Administrator look into the program.
Just thought I'd share this for those who want to know how to sync with Public folders.
BTW, I have hated the iPhone since getting it last year, but the 2.0 software has significantly changed my opinion. It's pretty darned cool stuff now.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a public folder outlook calendar to a SharePoint site.
I recommend to overlay an Exchange calendar on a SharePoint calendar.
There are two articles for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2010, it still works for SharePoint 2013.
Overlay a SharePoint calendar with a calendar from Exchange or SharePoint
SharePoint and Exchange Calendar together
In addition, you can manually drag and drop the appointment from your personal calendar to the SharePoint calendar.

Public calendars and privacy

I want my iCal data to show up on Google calendar (and possibly other aggregation services with iCal support, like netvibe.com.)
I've been publishing my calendar as private data on .Mac (as well as on icalx.com.) The services above only integrate with public calendars.
Does anyone have a sense of how private my data is on a public server (oxymoronic, I know.) Would folks have to know my username and calendar name in order to find it, or would the calendar appear in some web searches or on lists of public calendars?
thanks,
Dan

I've copied the fix from Bernie300374 here: On your settings in iTunes under the info tag, un-check the sync ical calendars box. On the settings on your iphone, select mail, contacts, calendars, then your .Me account. Turn off your calendars and select the option to delete them on your phone which will come up. Wait a few minutes, then re-select the calendars to on and select the option to merge.
If that doesn't work, check your calendars on your mobile me page online, some of my events had been repeated, think mobileme got confused, I had to reset all the online data.

Palm Desktop 4.1.4 Calendar entries disappear

Hi
I am using Palm Desktop 4.1.4 not connected to any thing. Win XP 32 bit SP3.
Recent calendar entries (since Mid Feb 2012) disappeared. I reentered them and checked a few times and they were still there. Then several hours later they disappeared again. Only recently entered calendar entries disappeared.
• There is only one user.
• I am showing all private records.
• The location of my Palm data folder has not changed
• This has never happened before.
I have 1400 contacts and dates going back to 2000 so I am well under the maximum records.
Thanks for any help

Hi cygnusX1
Thanks a lot for responding.
I don't believe the Palm Desktop stayed open when the data was found missing. I believe I had closed it and then found the data missng upon reopening it...but I'm not perfectly sure about that.
Since I posted, I testing it again by entering 3 dates in Feb and March 2012. I check a few hours later and the dates were still there, even after closing the PD and reopening it a few times...then the next day, the newly entered dates were gone. All other existing data that was entered in the Calendar, Contacts etc seems to be uneffected.
==================================
I just made the following observation:
==================================
It seems as though only data that was entered from Jan 1st 2012 and onward, is disappearing. Contact data entered from Jan 1st 2012 and onward, has also disappeared. In the contact data, I made a change to an existing record in Jan 2012 and the original record is there but the change I made has disappeeared.
There is existing data in the year 2012 calendar that was entered before Dec 31 and that data is still there as well as all previous data.
As far as your suggestion to export data, uninstall and reinstall, I will try that as soon as this post runs it course. I want to wait to see if any solution appear in the short term. Then, if the reinstall does not help, I guess I will have to consider a different Calendar and Datebook app.
I would like to know what is going on. This seems very strange. It's never happened before. Been using this app for many years.
Thanks again for any help
