Share iCal among 3 macs...but, by using one file on a server

I've read the other posts requesting a way to sync mutliple calendars. I want to do this but by maintaining ONE master calendar file somehow on a harddrive attached to my network. So no matter which computer that's attached to the network, I'd be able to open the same iCal file. No syncing necessary really. Anyone tried this?

With Tiger, in order to support Spotlight, there isn't really a "ical file" anymore. There are individual files for each event. The simplest way to achieve what you want is with the .Mac syncing. I use this across my Macs both at home & work.

  • Share iCal among all the users on one iMac

    I guess this is impossible, but I'll ask anyway. My family shares one iMac in the family room. We all have our own login profiles and we want to have a shared calender so we can see when and when we all have plans... Is this too much to ask for from a computer? I mean really, why is this so freaking hard to accomplish these days? We don't want .mac and we don't want to go on the web and use a calender... I've been trying to figure this out for what seems like eons... Help, please ???

  • Can I turn off the monitor for Mac Mini and use it as a music server?

    I am in the process of upgrading my PC most likely to a Mac product. With the non-server version of Mac OS X, can I turn off the monitor connected to a Mac Mini and use it as a streaming server? Or I have to get the server version of OS X to do that?

    I plan to run Logitech Media Server on the Mac to stream music to players. Each player interacts with the Logitech Media Server to select songs to stream. When I turn on a player, it will wake up the computer from the sleep mode.
    Currently, this Logitech Media Server runs on a Windows Vista machine and it will keep the PC from entering sleep mode while playing the songs. After I play the last song, the PC will start the idle count down and then enter into sleep mode.
    Do you see any problem with my intended use of a Mac Mini?

    What version of Premiere Elements and what computer operating system? You have a few other threads awaiting follow up, and consequently that information
    is not available elsewhere.
    What is your specific export...
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    and Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or something like that.
    Specific please.
    But what specifically are you entering in the Save In: field of the dialog that includes the Save button to initiate the export process.
    Are you saving it as a file to the Desktop or to a specific folder on the Desktop? Have you given the export a distinctive file name?
    The screenshot shows the Save In: to the Desktop as a file.
    I have no idea of your background with the program, so I ask these questions so as to take nothing for granted.
    If the computer Desktop is crowded, as mine often is, it is easy to have difficulty spotting a file save to the Desktop.
    We will be watching for your follow up.

  • Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

    My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
    so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
    anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
    problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
    related problem?
    thank
    Hein

    I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
    Below that is:
    "From My Mac.
    "All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
    This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
    Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Push live, but not using one of my 5 freebies - client will pay

    I did this once but can't remember the sequence.
    Belong to Creative Cloud which comes with 5 free Muse sites. I have used three of them for my own sites.
    I have a client that I have a Muse temporary site ready to go live. When I go to Manage, it brings me to the Admin Console, where I can click on Push Site Live. However when I do that, it wants me to push the site live using one of my membership sites. I do not want to do this.  I have the client's credit card info, and I want to sign them up for a webBasics plan. How do I get to that option?
    Thanks!

  • Custom logging, multiple apps in one file, different from server.log

    I have several applications running on my integration server. I would like to log from these apps to a single file (different file from server.log)
    I tried to use custom log4j logging, but there's a problem with the RollingFileAppender. Whenever a file is rolled, the backup copies are deleted. It probably happens because different classloaders load different apps and I configure the log4j in every app, but I don't understand classloaders.
    Here is a part of the log4j.properties file:
    log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
    log4j.appender.file.File=/path/log
    log4j.appender.file.maxBackupIndex=10
    log4j.appender.file.maximumFileSize=10485760and I configure the logger in every app by
    org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configure( logPropertiesPath );(Is this wrong? Is it even possible to use one log file from different apps? The integration servers does it...)
    I don't need the log4j, if the internal logging can be set up to log app. messages to a different file and configured with a different layout pattern, it would be enough.
    Can anybody please help with my logging problem?

    I've tried this:
    I've put log4j.jar to the lib dir of the logicalhost and log4j.properties to another jar (my own) and put it to the lib dir too. I deleted the PropertyCOnfigurator.configure() line from the apps. Built it, manually deleted log4j.jar from the EARs. Then I deployed EARs, restarted the domain and ran the apps. They both logged to the same and correct file, but again the rolling didn't work. How is this possible? I thought that this way the IS should have one and only one instance of Log4j...

  • How to disable Apple ID/iCloud account access to file sharing on two Macs set up using one Apple ID account?

    I've two Macs set up with my Apple ID. Now one of them is using other Apple ID but I can still access all it's files via file share using my old Apple ID the computer has be set up with. Is there a way to disable that "feature"? Thing to mention is that the other Apple ID is used in Store and in the accounts.

    OK found the answer in anothe discussion thread. On iPad, delete existing account by going to settings-iCloud-and tap red delete account bar. Sign in with the Apple id you want to use. This worked for me this time. Even though when I first tried to set up the iCloud account, I got error messages and thus was forced into creating the new id.
    Anyhow, success.

  • Need to upload my site to .Mac, but to use a different e-mail address!!!!

    iWeb uses my .Mac address by default. But these pages will not be my personal ones. Is there any way, how to get around it?
    BTW: someone suggested earlier the for more info to go to iWeb Help and type "hyperlink", but the help is not working!!!!!!! Blank window!!!!!!!!

    True.
    But my Mail's Spam filter is doing a pretty good job lately. I get around 20 junk mails a day and hardly any shows up in my inbox.
    the reason why I wanted to use the generic mail icon was that I do not want to play with the alignment of the mail icon on every single page - the icon is placed in the right lower corner and I don't have to do anything. i don't have tons of time to play with that. yes, a nice gif with the address written in it would be a great solution, but automatize it so it goes into same place every time - pain in the neck.
