Share a group of calendars?

I've been working with iCal to create several groups with many different calendars within each group. Think three groups, each with about fifteen calendars. When i try to share a group of calendars with someone, iCal consolidates my many calendars into one. I have so many calendars that it becomes hard to understand when it's formatted this way. Is there an easy way to share groups of calendars without publishing each calendar individually?
I need to share these calendar groups with many people, and sending out 45 emails to 20 different people telling them to subscribe to each individual calendar doesn't make sense.
If iCal can't do this, does anyone know of a program or service that can? Google Calendar doesn't have groups of calendars like iCal does.

Dan, when you say "click on .Mac", where should one do that?
My iSync icon on the menu bar does not have that option. My .Mac preferences has four "pages" or "tabs" - Account, Sync, iDisk, and Advanced. I can not find any place to specify individual calendars.
Under Sync, I can only choose to sync all calendar data or none at all. Under Advanced, I can select my computer, click "Reset Sync Data", then I can select to replace all data or just Calendar data from the computer to the .Mac or vice versa.
Is there another place to make this selection?

there is a workaround you can try, create audience and add DL to them and deal with the audience or convert DL to groups

How to have iCal Server share one or more calendars?

Hello everybody.
I'm really new to iCal Server, and I'd like to be able to create and share one or more calendars for a couple of users. I'm running Mac Mini with OSX SL Server 10.6.5 and have iMacs with the same OS.
Any how-to or such, to read and step-by-step configure the stuff?
I'm already looking at the Apple PDF (from Resources) but I'm stuck where it tells me to create the SRV record: I don't know which fields to fill in with the infos provided.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
F.

Yes, it is Flavio.
There are other threads that claim you can disregard the manual in this respect. I tried disregarding it. It'll seem to work. Then within days users will complain of intermittent (1) "calendar not found", (2) "lack of permissions", and (3) "conflicts with client-side versus server-side" errors.
Creating the SRV is essential in this, because it's registering the iCal service with DNS, and DNS is telling the client how to involve the server in the service. To be technically accurate, the server does have a default response when the SRV doesn't exist, so, yes, it will work at times..., but it's hard to explain this to your users when they're asking you about clicking through error dialogs every five minutes. "What do I do here? Should I be worried about this?" You'll be pulling your hair out. I was. Once I had the SRV up, though, the errors have entirely disappeared.
In addition to the things in my last post, having Push Notifications working is also wonderful. Follow the steps in the manual, but basically it involves turning Push on before starting up iCal.
Lastly, there's the question of moving users' old calendars (which are client-based) over to the iCal server (which is server-based): You can't just import-then-export, or you'll find other, nagging errors (basically of type "3", above). As far as I've been able to tell, if the user's calendar contains events where they're not the organizer (and it will), you'll get errors because the user has now assumed an event they don't own. The errors you'll get are basically the server asking, "Who owns this thing? I don't get it."
Sadly, the only way around this is I've found is for the end-user to context-click on each old event and move it to the new calendar. When the calendar options there are ghosted, they'll know they have an event they don't own.
But once you get past this point, it works beautifully. Users get really excited, because they now see the wonderful opportunities they now have. And that makes you feel it was worth it (especially when you think of how much they'd be spending on Exchange).

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.

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 ?

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 without showing my personal calendar? I created a project specific calendar using Entourage 2008 for Mac. I want to add someone that uses Outlook from a PC. We are in the same exchange network. I have added this person in under the sharing tab, but don't see a way to invite her to view it, and it does not appear on her Outlook list of shared calendars. I was able to invite her to view my main calendar, but not the project specific one. Any suggestions?

How do I share iCal 5.0 calendars with PC's...

Prior to Lion, PC XP users in my office could subscribe to my iCal calendars. As I understand it, in Lion, I can Share calendars, but do my PC users need to have an iCloud account? And if so, is XP even compatible with iCloud? And if not, what do I do?

I'm afraid you can't do this in Leopard. I quote:
'Features of the MobileMe Calendar that are not available with Mac OS X Leopard:
Push updates. See this article for more information.
The ability to share and accept shared calendars with others from within iCal. These changes can still be made at me.com/calendar.
Subscribed calendar syncing.'

How do I share server based Ical calendars to external users on google calendar

I need to share some server based calendars with google calendar. I know how to export but how do I keep the connection live so that when I put a new event into iCal on the server it automatically updates to google calendar? I was looking for a way to publish my server calendar to a hosting server but I can not even work out how to do that.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why not ask in the iCal forum area? - https://discussions.apple.com/community/applications/ical

Grouping MobileMe calendars

The new MobileMe calendar is nice for collaboration.
But there is one thing that really annoys me:
In iCal all calendars from other MobileMe accounts, that I have subscribed to, are listed under my MobileMe account. If these calendar have the same name, they become indistinguishable as there is no reference, who is the owner of these calendars.
I would have expected, subscribed calendar are listed under the MobileMe account of the owner.
Unfortunately calendar groups don't work either with subscribed calendars, in fact, they don't even work with my own MobileMe calendars, but only with local (non-synced) calendars.
Has anybody found a workaround or plist hack to group MobileMe calendars in iCal, especially those you have subscribed to?
Peter

I'm having a very similar issue, too. Tried the beta and did not like it or the current restrictions it places (no groups, slow syncs). So when I deactivated it and reopened the current iCal, it does not show any of these in the iPhone's Calendar app. It shows other subscribed and the Exchange calendars, but no MobileMe ones.
I, too, restarted the MobileMe settings on the iPhone and did a full replacement from the Mac desktop over the MobileMe versions. The calendars all show up correctly on the Mac and the MobileMe browser versions, but still no calendars on the iPhone.
I know w/ 3rd party apps, you can at least remove the app and all its preferences so a fresh install can be done. However, w/ Calendar & MobileMe being core elements on the iPhone, I don't know how to further reset this app...short of a full-blown iPhone wipe. Not in the cards!!

How to Subscribe to Outlook Calendar in Group WIKI Calendar

Ok, here's what I've been trying to figure out how to do for about a year. Our small office uses PC's with Outlook as our Calendar. We are not on Exchange Server. We are using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server ver. 10.6.8. I'm trying to figure out a way so that our office can look at one central calendar and see individual calendars for each of the users. I don't want all the users to have their events/appointments on 1 calendar because then you can't tell whose event/appointment it is.   I've setup a Group WIKI and have activated the Calendar and have a group consisting of the attorneys assigned to the Group. Outlook 10 can publish its calendar as to a webdav server. In fact I'm able to subscribe to my Outlook Calendar once its been published in the iCal client on the Snow Leopard server. It updates in both directions when changes are made. The problem is that when I go into the Group WIKI Calendar, although I can create calendars there and then PUBLISH them so they can be Subscribed to in either iCal or in Outlook 2010, I can't figure out how to SUBSCRIBE to a webdav/caldav calendar, ie. the Outlook 2010 that's been published, in the WIKI Calendar. Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the specific intricacy of your situation (a hosted domain at Outlook.com), and so do not know if indeed that is causal to your issues. But perhaps a workaround will be useful? For example, if you indeed use your hosted domain for your email, but create a true Outlook.com account for the use of only Calendar and Contact synchronization, then that might work?
You can find complete instructions here:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/General-BlackBerry-10-Smartphone/How-To-OTA-Sync-BB10-and-non...
For your email account, you simply use the domain they are hosting, and for Contacts/Calendar, the true Outlook.com account that you create for that purpose.
Good luck!

Issue with syncing bblink calendar + group events calendar into outlook 2003

Had a BB Curve OS 7, and I was able to sync my default calendar AND my BBM groups calendars in one single sinc.
Now, I have the Q5 OS 10.2.1 and I can not find for the life of me, how to sync my device calendars (personal and BBM Group Events calendars) onto my pc using Outlook 2003.
Called my carrier and they don't even know what to tell me. Can someone point me in some direction please!
PS I would also accept a solution using a cloud calendar (Gmail, Outlook.com...) I just want ALL calendars to be visible from my PC with one combine calandar view.
2014-02-22 UPDATE: Just installed BBLink 1.2.3, same issue.... No solution yet!

The OS7 calendar sync ONLY sync's the default calendar. Unless you merged your BBM group calendar entries (you would have had to move them to the default calendar using a special, and little known, documented procedure) into your default calendar you couldn't have had the BBM group calendar sync'd.
Regardless, the BBM group calendars will not sync to Outlook in BB10.

How can I share ownership of a calendar on iCloud?

We are using iCloud on a small network and would like to share ownership of a calendar so multiple people can send invites? Is this possible?

I just found out how to do this by fiddling around.
In iCal make sure you have the calendar you'd like to share highlighted in the CALENDER box to the left of the calendar. Then click the drop down at the top "Calendar". Click on "Share" or "Share Settings" I can't remember... sorry.
This will bring up a dialog box where you'll see the name of the calender you're going to share (you can also edit the name there). Then you click on "Only the People You Invite"
and you'll then add the email addresses in the area below that. There is a little plus sign below that where you can add multiple viewers.
So far so good. I just have to check and make sure the person on the recieving end has set up his iCloud as well (I think).
hope this helps

How do I Share a Group list of e-mails?

I can share a single contact, but how do I share a Group ist of e-mails?

You need to create a Mailing List.
Any address book can have one or more Mailing Lists.
Contacts must have a valid email address.
Either the contact must be in the associated address book already or if in another address book, then they can be dragged and dropped into the Mailing List, but they would also be entered into the associated address book.
In 'Address Book'
Enter the contacts into an address book:
Then create the Mailing List.
either
* Right click on the address book that contains the contacts
* select : 'new list'
OR
* File > New > Mailing List
* Select the Address Book which has the contacts.
Then
* give Mailing List a suitable name.
click on OK to close the manual list
Then move the contacts into Mailing List:
see first image below as aid
* Select the address book to see contacts.
* Select / highlight the contacts
(Ctrl + mouse click to select various names)
* Left click and hold down on selected contacts to grab
* Drag contacts to the left and hover over the Mailing List in Directory Pane
* Release the mouse to drop contacts into Mailing List.
you now have a mailing list with contacts.
To use the Mailing List to send one email to all contacts in Mailing List:
From the main TB user interface:
* click on 'Write' button to Open a new Write message
* Make sure you can see the Contacts Sidebar
If no Contacts Sidebar - use f9 key to toggle the view
* Select the address book
* select the mailing list name
* click on 'Add to Bcc' button (does not disclose email addresses)
* Complete the email and click on Send button.

Publishing a GROUP of calendars with different colors.

When I publish a group of calendars on the internet for my (sorry) PC friends to look at on a browser, all the calendars merge and appear blue, which makes scanning the calendar much more difficult. Is there any way to retain each calendars unique color? Thanks. Ken
http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?d=1&u=kfstudios&v=1&y=2008&m= 1&n=Fischer_Calendar.ics

Ken,
Unfortunately the individual calendars will lose color coding and be displayed in the same (blue) color on the web page.
Submit iCal Feedback to make your needs known to Apple.

I need to share one of my calendars with a co-worker. There is no publish option.

I need to share one of my calendars with a co-worker. There is no publish option.

Only 'On My Mac' calendars can be published to a web page, but calendars listed under your MobileMe login name for syncing can be shared privately (editable if required) with other MobileMe subscribers, or publicly (non-editable) for general access using a CalDAV client such as iCal or Google Calendar.

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.
