Share an iCal calendar without a third party application

After perusing the iCal discussion forum, it seems that the only way to "share" a calendar with another person (whether or not they have a MobileMe account) is to use Google Calendars or some other third party application. It seems like there would be a lot of users that want to "share" calendars and not just publish their calendars for others to see. The most common situation seems to be the sharing of a calendar with a spouse. Google makes this possible without charging a cent and you don't even have to dig to figure out how to do it. Naturally, because I love my Mac and the way all of my Apple programs interconnect, I want to avoid a third party solution. Is there a solution to this problem built into iCal (or maybe something to do with MobileMe) that I have simply overlooked? If not, how can we get Apple to include this feature in a future update of iCal?

Hi James!
I just spent the weekend setting this up for me and my wife. Unfortunately, you MUST use a 3rd party application. Like you have, I have spent the last month doing extremely refined Google searches in the hopes I would find the answer.
So, I migrated our calendars to Google and this seems to be working well. Synchronization is not as instantaneous as MM but every 5 minutes is not that bad.
Send Apple feedback on this issue at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
Apple's main feedback site is here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I've sent several notes to them. I am hoping that Snow Leopard will fix this!

  • How do i revert back to a OS X 10.5 without losing third party applications

    Hi,
    i have recently installed my HP printer CD software, after i did this it started to cause problems with some programmes, so i uninstalled it.
    However since doing this i have lost the relevant printer driver (however have now managed to print but do not have most of the functions e.g. print quality levels etc) and now want to revert my system back to a state when it was working fine. i have time machine and leopard cd and go through the process as described on the apple website however i have not done the restore from time machine back ups as i'm not sure if i will lose my third party applications (some of which i dont have the cd's for as they came pre-installed). can anyone help, will i lose my third party applications?

    Have you been using Spotlight to backup?
    Your system installation disks let you restore the system from the Spotlight backup, if you backed up your entire system with Spotlight.

  • How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

    We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi.  How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share?  I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up.  I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
    Thanks,
    KMQ7

    This would really be the "Holy Grail"   right now.  I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application.  In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment.  For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link 

  • How can i telnet or get access to other LAN members in LAN without using third party software?

    I have admin access to the main  router in our LAN, so how can i telnet or get access to other LAN  members in LAN without using third party software?
    its linksys3500 router and  i login as admin using the gateway address in address bar..

    I think you are using the wrong terminology. You can browse the hidden share of any pc if you know the ip and have a valid user account on the pc by typing in the following \\computername\c$ or \\ipaddress\c$ . It should prompt you for a user account. You may have to allow this through the windows firewall (or disable it completely).

  • Can we achieve SSO in the SAP Portal without a third party tool

    Can we achieve SSO in the SAP Portal without a third party such as Netegrity?

    Kirk,
    Sorry I misunderstood what you were trying to setup. 
    If you want to connect the Portal to a Non-SAP Application then I believe that you would need to use a third party tool like Netegrity Siteminder.
    We have a portal that is protected by Siteminder and then we have a .NET application that is also protected by Siteminder and SSO is setup between the two since Siteminder is used.
    Hope that helps,

    I've been trying to get my iPhone screen to play onto my macbook.

    There are no free ways to do it that I have seen. However, Reflector is reasonably priced. http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

  • My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.  Until recently, we would receive email notifications if either of us made changes to or added an event to the iCal calendar.  Does anyone know why those email notifications stopped?

    My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.  Until recently, we received email notificiations anytime either of us made changes to exisiting calendar events or added new items to the calendar.  Does anyone know why these email notificiations stopped?

    iCloud was experiencing problems with this a couple of days ago, where many users with shared calendars were getting email notifications even though their iCloud settings did not select to receive them.  Perhaps when they fixed this problem it reverted your settings to not receive email notifications.  Got to iCloud and check your setting for this.  If it still look correct, try turning off email notifications, save the change, then turn them back on again and save the change again.

  • Submitting to third party application and post back creating refresh issue

    Hi,
    I am doing a web application in which I need to hit a third party application from a view and come back to the same view if the third party sends a response back.
    For this I am getting the adfCtrlState and submitting it as a postbackurl for the third party.
    After coming back to the same view from the third party, I need to go to the next activity in the taskflow without any user interaction.
    I am using the following code to find the next activity
    <af:commandButton text="AutoSubmit" id="cb2"
    action="processResponse"
    binding="#{pageFlowScope.responseBean.braodCastAction}"
    visible="false"/>
    In the responseBean : I am using the RichCommandButton to broadcast event
    RichCommandButton myEvent;
    public RichCommandButton getMyEvent(){
    if(conditions satisfied){
    myEvent.broadcast(new ActionEvent(myEvent));
    The above code is executing the action(processResponse) specified in the commandButton.
    But it is not able to find the next activity in the taskflow, if a hit F5(refresh) it is rendering the next view in the taskflow.
    My primary requirement is to execute or render the next method call activity or view after coming back from the third party application without user interaction. Is there any other way to go to the next activity without broadcasting the event ?*
    Thanks

    Hi there
    I see some flaws with that.

    Dev files need to always be local. Placing on a network share for the purposes of using RoboHelp to compile or generate is risky business and may explode in your face. LMS to me means Learning Management System. Those are typically used for eLearning. RoboHelp does help systems. Captivate does eLearning. So you are losing me with your LMS reference.
    When ready to review with the customer, the would use the registration tool to push the project to preview.
    I'm lost. What "registration tool" are you even referring to here? Or is this what you are planning on creating and that's what you are choosing to call it?
    The app would call the RH command prompt using a server side technology, in my case .NET, and supply the necessary arguments and push the generated project to preview.
    There is no "preview" of projects. Preview of individual topics, sure. But not for a project. There is only compile or generate to create the final output.
    Once it had been reviewed and ready, then the user could push to production.
    Sounds like what one might typically accomplish using RoboHelp in a typical development cycle. You edit content on the local hard drive. If a review is needed, you compile or generate the content and place the output on a server. After approval is complete the content is then copied to the production server.
    Sure sounds like you are attempting to reinvent the wheel in many situations here.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Third party application forcing java stack to restart when logged in through SSO

    Hi
    We have APW Third party application installed on Enterprise portal  7.4.
    When we tried to login APW portal through SSO it forces Java stack services to restart.If we use APW directly without SSO it works fine.
    Can you help me tto resolve the issue.

    Hi Manish,
    Please check  the configuration once agian about the third party connection  and  the portal.
    Also provide the "dev_server0" which under in directory /usr/sap/SID/J00/work and default trace which under in “/usr/sap/SID/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/log" to analyze the issue. There is some other tool as well to check the issue using "httpwatch" log tool. But, mostly issue can be identified in dev_server0 or defalut trace".
    Thanks,
