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...

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?

TS4118 How do I stop sharing my calendar with someone I now share it with?

I do not know how to remove someone from sharing on of my calendars on my iphone 4.

Stop sharing a calendar
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar’s name.
Do one or both of the following:
Deselect the checkbox to the left of Private Calendar.
Deselect the checkbox to the left of Public Calendar.
Click OK, then click Stop Sharing in the dialog that appears.
A private calendar becomes unavailable to all participants. A public calendar is removed from its URL and becomes unavailable.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

Is there a plain English guide to sharing iCal Calendars via OSX Server Mountain Lion?

Is there a plain English guide to sharing iCal Calendars via OSX Server Mountain Lion? The present documentation is very limited and of no assistance to a beginner like me.

I don't have a domain set up on OSXServer I just have server.myserver.private. I have no mail services at server.myserver.private. I uses [email protected] (a different server) as the email address in the setup process.
When I go to share the calendar it requires a valid email address, rather than [email protected], so I enter my email address as a test, I try many other email addresses too but the server responds with an error stating " (email adress) was not recognized by the server. A new invitation has not been sent.

Syncing calendar with MobileMe

I'm not sure what happened, but all of my calendar entries (total of 6 calendars) have disappeared from my iPad. The updates are showing on my iPhone, iPod Touch, MacBook Pro and within MobileMe... but not on my iPad... I have tried deleting my MobileMe account from my iPad and readding it... but nothing.
Also, I notice that on both my iPhone and iPod Touch, I have a button on the calendar screen to choose which calendars appear... I see no such button on my iPad... what the heck happened?

Apparently it's an issue with the new MobileMe calendar beta. Here's a help article from Apple about it:

I just did this and now my calendar looks to be syncing just fine.
Thanks, stclark81... that did the trick... funny thing is, the MobileMe no longer indicates the calendar thing is beta... but whatever... it's working again, and I appreciate your help.

Does Sharing A Calendar Cost Money?

Hi
I want to share a specific iCal calendar with someone who does not subscribe to iCloud.
They have Snow Leopard and iCal.
When they click on the link it says that they need to subscribe to iCoud.
Is this right?
Is there another way to share my calendar securely without her having to pay to see it?
Thanks!

Firstly, though you don't say so I assume you are doing this in iCloud.
You can share a calendar two ways. Sharing publicly produces a subscription URL which anyone who has it can open in iCal or another CalDAV client top read (but not write to) the calendar.
Sharing privately requires the recipient to have iCloud: the calendar can be read-only or read-write as you decide. iCloud is free at basic level but requires 10.7.2, so you are limited to public sharing unless your recipient is prepared (and able) to upgrade to Lion (which is only $29).
The methods for both types of sharing are explained here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
You might consider sharing the calendar by syncing it with Google Calendar - she would need a Google account but this is free: I don't know how well this works or what the limitations are, except that the calendar would have to be 'On My Mac' and thus wouldn't sync to iCloud.

Q10 and multiple shared Google Calendars?

I tried searching on this support forum for answers to my question but could not find any.
I am currently using the BB9930. The device was more than adequate for my purposes even though the lack of apps was always a sore spot. However, the one lack of functionality that I could not compromise was the BB9930's lack of support for displaying multiple Google Calendars that are shared with me. I recognize that I can create a new Google account and have that account's Calendar display on my device, but I am not interested in that. I need to be able to view the Calendars of other Google accounts that are shared with my Google account.
This lack of functionality is turning out to be a dealbreaker for me. I switched temporarily to a Motorola XPRT but that device's keyboard was just not as good, the phone was sluggish, etc. I've switched back to the BB9930 but am planning to switch either to an Android non-keyboarded phone or to the Q10.
Whether I switch to a Q10 is really dependent on whether it supports multiple shared Google Calendars but I can't seem to find a straightforward answer to this question. Can any current Q10 users tell me whether this is possible in their experience? Thanks so much for your help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
My memory tells me that the answer remains no...only the primary gmail user calendar can be displayed, and no other calendars associated to the same google account can be shown. I've been digging for an official KB on the matter (I am quite sure that I've recently read one, but just can't find it now!!), without success...perhaps your search will be more fruitful:
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
But, my memory also tells me that this is not a limitation of BlackBerry per se. Rather, it is a limitation that Google has placed onto the BlackBerry platform...which is a bit of a different twist on causality. Irrelevant from the end user perspective, but perhaps helpful when one is dealing with their frustrations over the issue (e.g., knowing who to "blame").
Your workaround solution sounds, sadly, like the proper one...create additional google accounts for a calendar-only function, and have the desired calendar be the primary within that account, integrated to the BB10 device via CALDAV:
KB33093 How to setup Google Calendar synchronization via CalDAV on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry 10 smartphone
Good luck!

Sync 2 iPhones to one calendar through MobileMe

Has anyone synced 2 iphones to one calendar through MobileMe? I want to have the ability to have my wife's iPhone synced with the same calendar. I would like the phones synced so If I make changes on my phones calendar, they will automatically update on her phone through MobileMe. Does anyone know if it is possible to do this?

That is how mobileme works!
My wife has MacBook Pro and a 2G iPhone, I have a Mac Pro and 3G. Calendars on all four devices in sync usually within a minute or two, whichever one is being used to add the info. Same for addresses and bookmarks.

How do I sharing my calendar with my wife

Just updated my iPhone and my wives iPhone and iPad2 and activated iCloud. How do I share the calendar information between us so that we both see our respective claendars on each others devices?

Mark, I do this by sharing my calendar with my wife and her sharing her calendar with me. You can set up sharing on icloud.com/calendars or within iCal. On iCloud, just click the icon next to the calendar you want to share, then enter the email address of the person you want to have access. In iCal, choose the calendar, then use the menu Calendar > Share Calendar ... You can set up the permissions to view or have editing privileges.
Do the same from your wife's calendar and each of you will receive invitations to share the calendar. Accept the invitations and each other's calendar will show up on your devices.

My wife has shared her calendars but they won't appear.

My wife has shared her calendars with me and they show up on the side bar of the calendar as shared. Her calendar items do not show up in my calendar. I have "checked" the highlighted calendars I want to see on my calendars. Mine show up but not the calendars she has shared. What am I doing wrong?

Try this support article > iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Might be a private or publc issue.

Publishing iCal calendar to MobileMe

I would like to share my iCal calendar with my wife only and no one else. If I publish my calendar to MobileMe, does it go to the Public portion of MobileMe or does it go to my private portion where I can password protect it to limit access?

Ed,
According to; Publishing a password-protected iCal calendar to iDisk:
"Using the MobileMe option in iCal to publish a calendar does not require a name and password for users to access your calendar. However, you can also publish private calendars to your iDisk. These calendars require you to type your iDisk name and password and use WebDav authentication."
"Tip: Keep in mind that the name and password used to subscribe to this calendar is your MobileMe account and password. Do not give out this account and password to other users unless you intend to give the user access to your entire MobileMe account."

How can I allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar?

Is it possible to allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar? I also want to provide different permissions to those users. Is this possible through .MAC? Is it possible on Mac OSX Server?

I would like 2 agenda synced through .Mac but it does not work.
I have 2 computers and 2 laptops. A very simple agenda with 3 calenders. Myself my partner and the office calender. I want to publish my calender and that of my partner. The office calender I would like to sync so that we can change the office calender at any location.
I set up sync only for iCall and have a .Mac account. When I change anything on any of the calenders in iCall nothing happens on any of my other locations. Even though the locations are registered as synced. I can see the sync wheel turning but at the end of it the calenders are not synced.
At this moment I fully understand the publish and unpublished calenders but have no clue what so ever what syncing does for iCall. There seems to be no functionality to it. It does not transport any calender info over .Mac. There is no visable check to see what is happening and the process of syncing is not transperent. Lots of my friends go to me for advise on Apple issues but as far as sync wether iCall or Addressbook I always tell them sync does not work and I have no clue why others have it working. I haven't met any people here in Holland either that got in working. I suppose with iCall you have to get third party software to share calenders editable calenders. Really hopeless situation, wish Apple would just have a manual stating what sync can do and what it can not. Hours wasted on this issue trying to get it to work.
Hope anyone here can help out.

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

How can I add a SHARED Outlook Calendar to my iPhone?

I have Outlook for work. I have my personal calendar on there, along with my work calendar which is shared with my boss. When I sync my IPhone to Exchange, my personal calendar from Outlook syncs to my phone. The Shared calendar does not appear, however.
I don't want to use an app (I have OWA and hate it) and I want the shared cal to appear on my calendar in my phone. I also need to do so without adding my boss's email account to my phone. Help!

Depending on the version of Exchange in your environment you need to verify with your Exchange Admin that iCal publishing is enabled (Exchange 2010 or 2013) then you could send an email with a link to the shared calendar then subscribe to
it. Below is a link on how send the link once it's enabled and one for your Exchange Admin on how to enable iCal.
