Share my iCal wirelessly?

I just started using iCal for the first time last night and I'm really liking it so far.
I've subscribed to several calendars and put in everything I have going on for the month with plenty of alarms (sounds & emails.)
In order to ensure a happy home, I'd like to be able to share this with my husband. Is there an easy way to make this happen wirelessly?
I'm on an iMac and he is on a MacBook both using wireless internet on our family's cable account. I don't know if this helps, but we can see each others' iTunes music when we have that program open, which I assume means we have this capability over our wireless connections to the internet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Deborah
PS Also been searching the forum for a way to have the built-in birthdays cal have an alarm, but I only seem to find apps that cost... is there any free alternative or secret to iCal that allows this?

Thanks for that, but still wondering about the first part of my question?
My husband started using iCal yesterday after me pestering him about how cool it is for awhile. He's really loving it so far.
How do we keep each other up-to-date with all the events we've each typed in to our home & work calendars? Keeping in mind we're sharing our home's wireless network.
Thanks again, Deborah

  • How to share my ical to my ipod

    I don't know how to share my iCal from my MacBook Air with my iPod (sincronize), please help

    Connect your iPad to the Mac.  With iTunes open, select (highlight) the iPad and then select the Info tab.  Configure there.  The Sync box is unchecked on mine because I use iCloud and this would give me double entries.

  • 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.

  • Share two powerbooks wirelessly?

    this may sound complicated, but really it is simple. i have one powerbook at one end of the house. airport extreme card.
    another powerbook at the other end of the house. airport extreme card. this powerbook is hardwired to an ethernet connection. In addition, this powerbook can pick up my neighbor's wireless network. The other powerbook is within wireless range of this powerbook, but not my neighbor's wireless network.
    I want to be able to hard-wire this computer to my ethernet and somehow set up a wireless network between my powerbooks so that the other powerbook is online wirelessly. do i have to buy more equipment, or can I use this powerbook to share my ethernet wirelessly to the other powerbook.

    Yes you can do this - I have done wireless into PowerBook 17 then share wire to iBook without Wireless - should work equally well in the other direction. it might take you a few tries to get it right - but basically you turn on sharing on the computer that has the connection to the outside world - then access that connection from the computer that does not have the outside connection. one thing to keep in mind is that the computer providing the sharing becomes a DHCP server and there is no simple way to change the addressing used by that computer so the second computer must be set to be a DHCP client.
    Still with the prices of wireless routers these days or the added benefits of Airport Express you might consider spending a few $.

    Unfortunately, Carolyn doesn't know what she is talking about.
    It is absolutely possible to use iCloud calendars on Android using a third-party app called SmoothSync.

  • Can I share my iCal across a network or only thro' .Mac?

    Can I share my iCal across a network or only thro' .Mac? If so, how?

    I don't think there's a way to share a calendar over a local network, but if you have your own non-.Mac webspace on the Internet, you can publish an iCal calendar to it rather than .Mac. To do this, open iCal and select Publish from the Calendar menu. In the dialog box that pops up, change the Publish On drop-down menu to "a private server" and put in whatever your password is to access the server.

  • Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??

    Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??

    Ordinary webspace won't do - what you get is a text file: this is the problem - MobileMe took the file published by iCal and formatted it as a calendar. Presumably if you were running your own server as indicated in the help page it would do the same; but unless 1&1 can speficially provide you with a CalDAV server it's not going to work.
    Do your colleagues have Macs? For those who do, they can subscribed to a shared calendar in iCal and it couldn't be simpler. Presumably Windows owners could do the same thing in a suitable calendar program; and this is a lot simpler solution.
    Another route: according to this site:
    http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/publish-ical-calendars-mobileme-os-server-mac/
    box.net can do this for you. I seem to remember that this arose a while back, but I have a feeling that the poster then couldn't get it to work. I can't advise on that, but you might want to investigate it as an option.

  • Can i share the ical and the agenda in two apple ids?

    I would like to share the ical and the agenda between two differetn apple id's, is it possible to do it?

    It took me a few minutes to figure it out, but I got it.  I had to do what SGIII suggested and plot row as series:
    and then it let me move the columns around like you suggested.  It wouldn't let me move them in the other view.   Once that was reordered, I could change it back to plot column as series and it would stay switched.
    Had that not worked, I figured once you made your first suggestion, I could cut the first column of data into an empty one, cut the second column into the first column, and re-cut the first set of data back into the second column.  Either way did the trick. Thanks a bunch you guys!

  • How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

    How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

    You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
    If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
    If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
    You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
    There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company).

  • 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 could i share my ical into my lokal network

    To compare our Data-sending termines have i created a calender in iCal on Mac OS-X 10.4.11
    How could i share it in our local Network without iCloud or internethost? The calender must shared to 15 Computers and must editable on every workstation.

    There is no way of doing this. Even up-do-date iCal only shares by using iCloud, requiring the internet. The iCal like program BusyCal will sync over a LAN but needs Leopard at minimum.

  • Single Event / Multiple Calendars. Share All iCal At Once.....

    Hi,
    I would like to share my calendars with my partner - we are both iCal/iCloud users.
    We would like a calendar that is for our own personal use, which is straight forward enough, but it would be great if single entries within that calendar can be added to multiple calendars, so an event could be added to 'personal' as well as 'projectX'. Is this possible?
    Also, I use iCal for scheduling my work and individual projects - each project has it's own calendar. Is it possible for me to share all of those calenders wholesale without having to share each individual one?... essentially a single read only calender share so that my partner doesn't get the clutter of multiple calenders but get's the overall picture.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    How about just inserting the URL's for multiple documents in
    an email?

  • Can't browse local network nor share iTunes with wireless

    Hello.
    I'm using WRT54GX-v2 wireless router. I have 2 Macs connected to it, one through cable and one through wireless. When I open the Network in the finder I am unable to see one computer from the other. (My sharing prefs are set correctly.) I AM able to connect by connecting directly to a specific local IP address.
    However, if I connect the MacBook with cable, the desktop Mac shows up in the Network browser. (This is how I know I have my Mac settings correct.)
    This also affects iTunes - if I configure to share my library from my desktop Mac, it doesn't show up in the Macbook. Unless I connect with cable. For the network browsing I can workaround it by connecting to a specific IP, however iTunes doesn't have that option of manually connecting to a shared library on another IP address.
    Can anyone offer assistance/suggestions on how to get browsing to work?
    PS. I have tried an older router I have of a different brand, which doesn't have this problem, however it has a problem with dropping connections to my ISP, which is why I got a new one.

    Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses?  If so, which devices have fixed addresses, and what fixed address is each device using?  Also state your router's DHCP server range.
    Can all your computers get a working Internet connection through the router?
    I am not familiar with MACs, but in PCs, "file and printer sharing" is turned on one network adapter at a time.  In other words, the both the ethernet card and the wireless card must individually be set to "file and printer sharing".  Maybe you need to enable file and printer sharing for your wireless card.
    If you are running a software firewall on your computer(s), temporarily turn all of them off and see if that helps.

  • How can I share my ical with other users on the same machine?

    Having recently bought an imac I set up accounts for the family. I'd like to share a generic calendar with everyone that only the adults can read/write, but want to allow everyone to hold their personal calendars at the same time. All the accounts are on the same machine. Can this be done? If so how?
