Share ical names with users
Dear Support,
I've searched between the downloadable section for hungarian names for ical, but I did not find. I've made a version of it and I would like to share with others. What is the channel to do it? How can I share my small and tiny developments with others?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Andras
This solution will work. Just make sure you turn OFF all other synching (contacts, bookmarks, preferences, keychains, etc.) Otherwise you and your friend will have merged contacts, keychains, etc. She will also have access to your MobileMe email as well.
Another way to do this is through Google. Set up Google Calendars (two gmail accounts). Then give access to each other via Google Calendar Settings.
Import your mobileme calendars into Google through the Google interface.
Once complete, download Calaboration from Google Code. http://code.google.com/p/calaboration/
Use Calaboration to set up your Google Calendars in iCal.
You will then be able to view each others calendars without sharing them with the world.
My wife and I have MobileMe accounts but have migrated to Google Calendar for the added security.

HERE'S HOW TO SHARE iCAL w/ MULTIPLE USERS on 1 Mac
Here's how to share iCal calendars among multiple users on a single Mac.
What you need to do is to move the iCal folder to a shared folder that is accessible to all users and then replace the iCal folder in each user's library folder with a "symbolic link' to the shared iCal folder. The symbolic link looks like an "alias", but if you try this using "aliases" to the shared iCal folder it will not work (trust me). You can create symbolic links using the Terminal, but I have no idea how, and the idea of using the Terminal scares me. The easiest way that I know of to create a symbolic link is with a shareware application called Cocktail. It allows you to do a number of different things including System Maintenance, Network Optimization, etc. It took me a while to remember how to do this; I originally found the information in the Discussions when iCal was first released, but apparently none of those original postings are listed in the forums anymore.
Here's how to do it (you must have Administrator privileges):
First locate your iCal folder (your user name > Library > Application Support > iCal) and make a copy of it (Finder > File > Duplicate). Drag the copy to your Desktop until you're sure iCal is being shared between users.
Next move the original iCal folder into a Shared folder in the Users folder (Hard Disk > Users > Shared > iCal). To make sure all users can access the information, select the Shared folder, choose File > Get Info, click the little Lock icon, then under "Ownership & Permissions -> Details" make sure that the "Owner" is "System", "Group" is "Wheel" and "Access" for Owner, Group and Others is "Read & Write". Do the same with the iCal folder within the Shared folder, but this time, under "Ownership & Permissions -> Details" make sure that the "Owner" is "your user name", "Group" is "Staff" and "Access" for Owner, Group and Others is "Read & Write" and click the "Apply to Enclosed Items" button. I basing this information on what the Ownership & Permissions are for each of the folders in my system.
Open Cocktail (I'm using version 3.6.5). Once the app is open (you must enter an administrator's user name and password) click on the "Files" button, then click on the "Links" button. Where it says "Create Symbolic Link" click on the "Choose" button. Navigate to the iCal folder (Hard Disk > Users > Shared > iCal) and click "Choose" again. In the "Save As" box that appears enter "iCal", then navigate to the Application Support folder in your Home folder (your user name > Library > Application Support) and click "Save". Quit Cocktail and open iCal. You should see all of your calendars as you did before.
Log in under each additional User, move that User's iCal folder (user name > Library > Application Support > iCal) onto the Desktop, then create another Symbolic Link to replace it, using Cocktail as described above. In each case you should see the same calendar information as when you were logged in under your user name. As a test, add a New Event or To Do in iCal under one user, log out and back in under another user and you should see the changes when you open iCal.
Once everything appears to be working, you can delete the iCal folders from each User's Desktop.
As an additional maintenance measure, use Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
Unfortunately, if each User has his/her own calendars in iCal they will not be in the shared calendars. Only the calendars in the first iCal folder used to set up the shared folder will be available and I don't know of any way to merge or combine the other user's calendars into one.
Hope this helps and good luck!Unfortunately, if each User has his/her own calendars in iCal they will not be in the shared calendars. Only the calendars in the first iCal folder used to set up the shared folder will be available and I don't know of any way to merge or combine the other user's calendars into one.
If every user first exports their calendars (with unique names) and then the "First" user imports them, before all the other set up, everyone's calendar will be there.
Also, iCalShare lets you publish and subscribe on a computer or across a local network, without having to let everyone see and edit all your calendars. -

How can I manage and share iWork templates with users on OSX Lion Server?
I would like to use the iWork templates shared in a local Lion OSX Server network.
I would like everybody in the network to use the same iWork templates (is it possible to share these on the server?)
And I want to be able to change or add templates to this shared folder so everybody in the organization has always the same and most up to date templates.
Can somebody please tell me how to do this?The templates delivered with the apps are embedded in the apps and the license states:
The folder used by the application to reach custom templates is on the local machine.
You may store your custom templates in a folder on the Network but the users would be unable to reach them thru the "Create from a template" menu item. An easy workaround is to install an alias of the folder on every machine.
I'm writing about templates with the official meaning.
If, as several askers, you use the word to name documents, Pages is not designed for this kind of use.
There is no provision in the app to allow several users to work simultaneously on a given document.

Share ical calendar with outlook PC
hi - i'm wondering if i can share an iCal or iCloud calendar with someone who is on a PC and uses Outlook? thanks!
Hello brianfrommissoula,
Indeed, anyone using Outlook on Windows should be able to take advantage of the functionality provided by shared calendars.
Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format.
Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users. Participants can view the calendar using iCloud Calendar, Calendar (or iCal with OS X v10.7.5) on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or the Calendar app on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Share Ical event on same Mac but different user
Is it possible to share Ical Event on the same computer without using .me ??
thanksHmmm... that may accomplish similar/the same results compared to doing it from the terminal. I wonder if iCal is disliking something else.
Perhaps try:
- Get rid of the alias and get iCal working 'normally' from the user2 profile
- Create a calendar in the user2 iCal that matches one you want to share from your profile (for example, 'Home')
- Figure out what folder name matches the 'Home' calendar on your profile (will be a folder like 'A23H-1B-A124-NA223' or something... Create an alias of that folder and get it into the Calendars folder of user2.
- Move the Calendar folder for the one you created in step 2 to the Desktop. Copy the name and paste it into the name for the alias.
Now you should have a calendar folder with the same name as one created natively in user2's iCal, but it's pointing at the other folder. You will still have to make sure the folder, alias, AND all the .ics files in the folder have read/write permissions for both users.
Moving foward, this could be an issue - new iCal events created by you may not carry the read/write settings of the other events, but we can cross that bridge if we get there. If you open up user2 after the above and see your events, that alone will be a sweet step forward!

How do I Share ical between users on the same computer
I share my computer with my wife and we each have our seperate logings. We'd like to be able to share our diary on the computer so we can keep track of each other. Is this possible?
I use Tiger and ical 2.0.3
PeterMac OS X by design keeps documents and settings owned by one user private from and inaccessible to any other user on the system. This is normal and has always been the case with Mac OS X.
If you want documents accessible from both accounts, the easiest way to accomplish it is to put those documents in the Users/Shared folder. If you want to move your documents from your wife's account to yours, log into her account, move the documents to the Shared folder, then log into your own account and move the documents from the Shared folder to your own Documents folder.

2 users, same computer..how do we share ical?
So there's 2 users on our computer and we want to share ical and both be able to add, change, delete...How can we do this???
It's not built into iCal, no.
I think I'm right in saying that the reason you usually can't share data, or calendars, across user accounts has to do with the way Unix machines - including Macs - store a user's data and make it private for that user. There are shared points from which you can share but this does not include your calendars alas.
Read the article
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MacOS_X_Tiger/User_Accounts#WhyAccounts.3F
on the thinking behind why this is so.
Michael's suggestion above is your best bet. -
How can i share ical with other iCloud accounts

Hey beachwhale,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to share a calendar from iCloud with another user. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I am trying to submit report program in background job. I want to submit it with specific user name so I am submitting with user name as 'ABC' as below
data: user type sy-uname.
user = 'ABC'.
SUBMIT z_program AND RETURN
WITH matnr = matnr
WITH werks = werks
USER user
VIA JOB jobname
NUMBER jobcount
But it creates job with current user(sy-uname) running the program and not 'ABC'. How I can change it for specified user?SUBMIT z_program AND RETURN
WITH matnr = matnr
WITH werks = werks
USER user
VIA JOB jobname
NUMBER jobcount
AND RETURN. "you forgot to return back
Of course the user should be the one existing in the system. I guess there is no such ABC. Find the one which exists (use i.e. su01). -

Hello,
I have a similar question, which I posted 8perhaps inappropriately) in the Home Sharing discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17405588#17405588
The problem I have is that it simply doesn't work and the question I have is how you do not move the the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file when they are actually in the folder you are told by the article to move in the first place. -
