Publishing a shared calendar

Does anyone know how to publish a calendar for others to use in iCal? I was looking for a Calendar myself, but couldn't find it, so I decided to create it myself. Now I would like to publish it so that other iCal users can subscribe to it. Is this something where I have to publish it to MobileMe? Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks.

Thanks,
No, not missing anything. I saw that as an option, but wasn't sure if that was going to publish to my MobileMe site, or publish for others to see and download.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer.

Can two iCal users edit the same published/shared calendar

Can two iCal users (obviously different mobileMe accounts) edit the same published/shared calendar? I want to have a calendar running which we can both edit remotely but for it to be synced so we both know what each other is doing. Maybe I can share it on my iDisk somehow? I have searched but could not find an answer so I am sorry if this has been covered already !

There is now way to do this using standard MobileMe and iCal. What you could is both share your calendars so that both of you can read each other's calendar.
If you want both to have read-write access to a calendar you will need to use third party software or set up a Google calendar where both of you have read-write access to the calendar.

Can I publish an event to more than one shared calendar in iCal?

I have shared calendars (called "home") with my wife & kids and (called "Work") with my secretary at work so that my family can add home events and my secretary can add work things .
I've done this as I don't want my secretary seeing when my kids have an appointment to see the doctor or my kids to see when I have appointments with clients at work etc.
However some things (like when I've booked leave from work) need to be on both calendars.
QUESTION: Can I publish one event (using OS X Yosemite or iOS8.2) to multiple calendars ("home" & "work") in iCal?

i generally hate toolbars because it makes the browser look cluttered and hogs memory. but u should ask an expert on this if it possible its not too easy, addons will probably help you, for example if you have the stumbleupon toolbar, there are addons that will create an extra button for you to put anywhare for quick access. this solution probably may not work with other less known addons.

How to publish a family shared calendar?

In Calendar, Apple allows users to make a calendar public and share it over the internet with a webcal address. However, I can't seem to find this function for the Family shared calendar that is automatically created when Family Sharing is activated in iOS 8. Is there any way to publish a Family Sharing calendar so that other people can subscribe to it?

Well, I figured a way to do this - sort of. Note; this is NOT the most elegant solution, nor a full/real fix. At least you will get a read only version of the Family calendar. The caveat in this is that you require Microsoft Outlook at some point. To make matters worse, I'm not exactly sure of the steps I took.
My basic scenario is that our family has a Mac at home along with iPhones, but I use Windows at work. Somewhere along the line I installed iCloud for Windows at work - and I believe during that install it saw that I have Outlook installed on my machine, and sometime during that process it created a link in Outlook to my the shared Family calendar.
I am a bit vague on this because I don't actually use Outlook on a regular basis. I was trying it out some time ago and never went further with it, and I only went to check it after I started looking into this Family calendar nonsense. I note that now I can CREATE an event in Outlook and it will propagate back to Family Calendar and show up on our mobile device(s).
Within Outlook, if you right click on the Family Calendar and select Sharing Settings (Image 1) you will find an option to "Publish a link to a read-only version of this calendar on iCloud.com" (Image 2). Press the Copy Link button... then use that in your other application (Google Calendar for me).
Not exactly the best solution... but until I find something else...

ICal Server - want to publish a single calendar

I'm missing a basic concept on iCal Server i think.
I just want to publish a single calendar to the public with NO passwords.
Calendars exist on the iCal Server on 10.8.5 using login credentials from Open Directory where users
can create calendars, share calendars, etc.
When you go to the Web site, it first asks for your login and password.
How do i link a calendar to a public location, or make a calendar publicly accessible?
Thanks in advance
Tim Far

So with no responses to the above question, I've had to rtfm...
It appears from my reading of the somewhat limited documentation on iCal Server on 10.8.5, since I have chosen
to apply security to the Wiki's and Calendars to use OD on the server; I cannot open a public viewable Calendar along side the secured ones. ( I may certainly be wrong, but I haven't been able to find out how.)
So I took an easier approach, as I wanted 1 public calendar viewable and subscribable by the public.
The local iCal server will be used privately for local secure business, while the Public calendar will be
maintained on the local Admin's desktop, then shared publicly to Google calendars, where I set up a simple secure acount. This gives me 4 benefits.
1. A public viewable webpage of the calendar - for those with iCal or iPhone (droid population, or browsers)
2. An dot.ics subscribable link for those with iPhones, iCal compatibe calendars
3. An embedded link for our education web site, to show the Public calendar inline on our own website.
4. The ability to publish to said Google calendar , from the locally managed desktop.
This may have been obvious, or not; and potentially othe ways of accomplishing the same,
Any thoughts or goctcha's ?
Thanks in advance.

Shared Calendar Interoperability (2013 / 2007)

Hello,
We have two Exchange servers in our Organization, a 2007 where most mailboxes reside, and a 2013 where we are slowly doing a one off user migration here and there to test the waters so to speak.
We have users that constantly have/had problems with Outlook freezing on send, or other connectivity issues. These are our first target people to move to the new server. I have one user who I moved yesterday who is trying to share a calendar
she calls "Managers Schedules" to other managers. She created this calendar and keep in mind she is on the 2013 server now. She shared it with reviewer permissions to 4 other employees but those 4 others are still on the 2007 server.
The other people are getting an email with links to view the calendar but they say that they cannot open it. The person sending this is also getting a message that they should publish the calendar. When they click yes to that, IE opens up
to Outlook Web Access???? I said lets just see what happens if you log into OWA. She did and it gave her some options to make the calendar public or private and it gave her two links to copy. Now I was able to open the one link... it downloaded
an ical file, however I am on the 2013 server. No one else can open the links.
So long story short, is there any kind of interoperability between shared calendars on Exchange 2007 and 2013 (vice versa)? Or am I going to have to move these 4 other users to the new server, which in turn will likely cause a chain reaction since
they are managers and have access to their employees email inboxes as additional mailboxes in Outlook.

Hi,
We can’t directly share the calendar which is not the default calendar for a user. Generally, we would share a custom calendar by the following steps:
Right-click the custom Calendar, click Share > E-mail Calendar. Then the calendar would be added as an attachment in a message.
When the recipients receive the message, click Open this Calendar, a window would be prompted out to ask if add this Internet Calendar to Outlook. You should only open Calendars from sources you know and trust.
Please e-mail calendar in Outlook Online mode by the steps above. Then check whether the issue persists.

ICal: How do I get iCal to sync with a shared calendar?

I am working in a small business who are running a Microsoft Exchange Server. All users are using Microsoft Outlook for e-mails and calendars. I want to get iCal on my mac to sync with the shared calendar on the Exchange server which is published in the 'public folders'. Can anyone shed any light on this matter? Does iCal do this?

In short: No it doesn't.
There's a third party 'solution' out there: Groupcal by Snerdware. However, since OS10.4 it's nothing but trouble with that program. They've recently released version 3.0, which is supposed to fix things, yet for me (and a couple of other users, according to for instance versiontracker) matters only got worse. I'd say: give the trialversion a go and see if it works for you. But be prepared for trouble with future OS updates etcetera. Also their support only returns emails with very short and cryptic answers, if at all.
The alternative of course is using Microsoft Entourage instead of iCal.

Shared Calendar and Permissions

Hello,
I have a shared calendar that we use in my organization and only 1 person has publishing editor rights while the rest of the company has reviewer rights. The problem is that if a reviewer opens a time block, instead of restricting the ability to post to
the calendar, it lets them send a meeting invite. Any idea on how I can set it to completely block the reviewers from being able to send the request?
Also, we are using o365 with my Outlook 2010 set up.
Thank you.

Hi,
I can confirm if a user has been granted with the Reviewer permission in Outlook 2010, when he double clicks on a time block, a meeting invitation is created.
While with the same permission in Outlook 2013, the user will get a message that says "You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder..."
As far as I can tell, it should be by design in Outlook 2010 and we can't change this so far. Anyway we don't have to worry about this too much, the user only creates an invitation window and only when the calendar owner accepts it will an item be created
on the calendar.

Publish & Subscribe to Calendars on WebDAV?

Hi all,
I have looked through the discussions for the answer to this question, but it seems that everyone is saying "use .Mac."
My small business uses iCal and we publish our calendars to our XServe (with WebDAV enabled).
Does anyone know how others can publish items to a "shared" calendar as well? For example, suppose we have a "meetings" calendar that everyone could edit from any computer.
Any ideas?

Shared calendars

Hello everybody!
Can shared calendars be used and modified by different users?
for example:
i have a shared calendar that syncs with .mac named "production" and 10 different user on that calendar. I want that the name of the editor to publish together with the note.

IIRC that a known limitation - a combination of an outlook/mapi issue

Undoing a shared calendar

How do I remove a shared calendar on iCal? I didn't authorize calendar sharing, yet it seems it's happening anyway. Also, what is WebDAV in bozo language and do I need it? Although I try to keep up with the constant changes, I've been getting increasingly frustrated trying to decipher all of this. I'm also concerned about my privacy. Thanks.

Thanks,
No, not missing anything. I saw that as an option, but wasn't sure if that was going to publish to my MobileMe site, or publish for others to see and download.

Errors Sharing Calendar in Outlook 2010

Hello,
I have an issue with sharing calendars to someone that is in the same Exchange org on Exchange 2013 CU3 when using Outlook 2010. When trying to share I get this error message:
"Error while preparing to send sharing message"
The exchange org that I'm trying to connect to is published from behind a TMG deployment, and effectively everyone is an external user. I've tried doing a wireshark packet capture at the time when I get the error, and from the information I see, it looks
like its trying to connect to the right target. At the same time, if I watch the TMG logs as I'm generating this error with a filter to see all IP from the address of my connecting location) I see no attempt to connect to TMG at all.
I've checked in the event log of the work stations I'm using (tried more than one) and I get an event ID 300, which basically just states the same message as above, with P1 value of 301931, P2 value of 14.0.7015.1000, P3 value of 634y and P4 value of
0x80004005.
I've found an article for this exact same issue that applies to Outlook 2007, so I'm wondering if it's basically the same issue, but Microsoft haven't spotted or updated the article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2836889
I've found this article (and more) but none do the trick for me:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/Q_26529686.html
I've also seen one that asks to check whether the DB is corrupt and to check autodiscover, but an exchange connectivity test against my domain comes back all green. I've also tried to make the same check with the same client against an Office 365 mailbox
and Outlook 2010, and I do not get the error there (guess it might be because they're using different authentication mechanism). I've tried a few things (patching Office 2010 up to the latest SPs and updates, updating the client with .Net updates, installing
.Net 4.5.1( but none work for me.
I've also found that this is not an issue if using Outlook 2013.
Does anyone have ideas on what might be the cause of this?
Thanks

One thing that I'm sometimes seeing when I hit the send request from Outlook 2010 is a line in the TMG log that indicates it's going to
http://domainname/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml (where 'domainname'
is the real domain name in use). We have a rule for this with a /* path that directs traffic off to another set of servers not related to email at all. I think I'm going to try adding a rule above this one with /autodiscover/* as the only path,
and do a deny/redirect to the full autodiscover address.
Incidentally, if I run a wireshark capture when doing this from an Outlook 2010 client, I see that its trying to hit the HTTP address of my TMG server, but I see no traffic at the TMG server (not from the log view anyway). If I do the same from an Outlook
2013 client, I see wireshark trying to hit the same HTTP listener address, but at TMG I see an EWS lookup.
I'll update when I've tried the new TMG rule.

Allowing others to edit 'shared' calendars

Does anyone know how to allow another person to edit/update a "shared" calendar? Is this something that needs to be selected when sharing the calendar (during subscribe?)?

Outlook 11 for Mac sharing Calendar with Outlook 2010 for Windows

I have an Executive user that has a Macbook with Outlook 2011 that shares his calendar with his Administrator using Outloook 2010 for Windows (Exchange 2010). Exec changed his categories last week. The changes do not appear on Admin's calendar.
Exec is sharing calendar with Full / Publisher privs.
When I share my calendar with Admin she sees categories, and colors. Is dynamic, I make a change she immidietly sees it.
When Admin looks at her OWA she does not see changes on Exec's shared calendar.
Help! Thanks. -F.F.F.

Seems this an Exchange-Outlook 2011/2010 mix scenario. Seems Admin even cannot to see the categories changed through OWA, I think the categories have still not updated to mailbox from the Executive user's Outlook 2011. Does it happen when the user and
admin share their calendar with categories in one platform, I mean Outlook in Windows in both side or using OWA?

Shared Calendars Exchange 2010 for iPhone & iPad

I have spent much time reading posts and articles on setting up Exchange 2010 SP2 so that Users can edit and view shared calendars with their iPad's & iPhones.
However I have hit a stumbling block, too many way's and too much information on configuration. So I have laid out below the commands I intend to use so we publish *.ics which believe is the best way to share calendars with ios systems though I am having
problems with details in the commands.
If anyone has already done this or can provide some examples as I don't use the com shell that often for exchange.
Step 1:
PRE-REQUISITE: OWA External URL must be set
set-owavirtualdirectory –Identity <CAS> -ExternalURL <externalURLforCAS>
- What is "externalURLforCAS"????
Step 2:
PRE-REQUISITE: Mailbox webproxy must be set
set-exchangeserver –identity “servername” –InternetWebProxy ”webproxy URL”
- What is ”webproxy URL” ????
Step 3:
Admin must enable Internet access to exchange published calendars
set-owavirtualdirectory –Identity <CAS> -CalendarPublishingEnabled$true
Step 4:
Admin must enable sharing policy for Internet Publishing
set-sharingpolicy –Identity <PolicyName> -Domains “Anonymous:<accesslevel>”

Hi,
ActiveSync syncs only the default calendar. We are not able to sync shared calendar in Iphone/Ipad. Your understanding would be appreciated.
Just for your reference, you may take a try with some third party tool:
