Shared Calendar Alerts
How do I stop getting alerts from each of my shared calendars using iPhone6 and iOS8?

The alerts for those other calendars don't come up when logged into my Mac using a browser.
No, completely different user interface, so they quite possibly don't. Don't know what to tell you, other than offering Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/, but considering all of my subscribed (non Apple) calendars allow separate alerts and Google doesn't, it may not be something Apple can change.
You could also consider downloading a separate calendar app for those. There are a number of free apps that work quite well.

Ignoring shared calendar alerts does not work
I love the being in the Apple ecosystem and so does my wife. I subscribe to several shared calendars for my kids sports teams, as well as my own personal and business calendar and my wife's family calendar. All together, I have 13 calendars that show up in my iCal (MacBook Pro running the latest OS X), 2 iPhone 4S's, and 2 iPad's.
My wife uses her calendar a lot and while I like seeing her schedule on my calendar, I can never get iCal or my iPhone to ignore the alerts pertaining to her calendar. I've changed the setting in the calendar several times, but can never seem to get it to ignore - even with the box checked appropriately. It just now occurred to me to delete the calendar and resubscribe to see if that works. I'll follow up in a few minutes.
Any ideas in the event it doesn't work? It seems like there's something I'm missing...Yes, it's still a problem with iOS2 and Mavericks. Both have an option to not recieve the alerts, and it's working for me in iOS7, but not on Mavericks. Every time my wife's calendar has an event, I get an alert. I've tried changing the preferences setting and quitting and restarting, no luck. I stil get the notifications.
Notification center is too much of a good thing! -
Family sharing calendar missing
We are using family sharing. My daughters iPhone 5 is missing the family sharing calendar. She is on her own Apple id and is updated to the latest OS. when I look at the calendar app, the family calendar is not an option. She is set up on a child account but restrictions are not enabled in her phone. any help is appreciated.
Hello Jacqui L Davies,
It sounds like you may need to change the settings for access to the Family Calendar. See if this section of the iPad User Guide applies to your situation:

Share iCloud calendars
With Family Sharing, a calendar shared with all the members of your family is created automatically. See Family Sharing. You can also share an iCloud calendar with other iCloud users. When you share a calendar, others can see it, and you can let them add or change events. You can also share a read-only version that anyone can view.
Create an iCloud calendar. Tap Calendars, tap Edit, then tap Add Calendar in the iCloud section.
Share an iCloud calendar. Tap Calendars, tap Edit, then tap the iCloud calendar you want to share. Tap Add Person, then enter a name, or tap to browse your Contacts. Those you invite receive an email invitation to join the calendar, but they need an iCloud account in order to accept.
Change a person’s access to a shared calendar. Tap Calendars, tap Edit, tap the shared calendar, then tap the person. You can turn off their ability to edit the calendar, resend the invitation to join the calendar, or stop sharing the calendar with them.
Turn off notifications for shared calendars. When someone modifies a shared calendar, you’re notified of the change. To turn off notifications for shared calendars, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Shared Calendar Alerts.
Share a read-only calendar with anyone. Tap Calendars, tap Edit, then tap the iCloud calendar you want to share. Turn on Public Calendar, then tap Share Link to copy or send the URL for your calendar. Anyone can use the URL to subscribe to the calendar using a compatible app.
Hope that helps ...

How do I stop getting shared calendar notifications?
If I share a calendar to someone in read-only mode, how can I prevent them from being spammed with notifications every time I add or change appointments? Similarly, when I've subscribed to someone else's shared calendar, can I prevent myself from being similarly spammed?
Going to answer my own question after searching the web a bit more...
The setting is not in the Notification Center, where you'd expect... it's in the Calendar app on OS X, and in the Mail, Contacts and Calendar settings in iOS 6 (don't know about 7 yet ).
In OS X, open your Calendar and from the menu bar choose Calendar > Preferences and then highlight the Alerts tab. Second from the bottom is a checkbox labelled "Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center"... it's unchecked, and you need to put a check mark (aka tick) in that box. To be honest, I think this is poorly designed, because putting a check mark in a box to disable a setting is rather like a double negative, and probably why I've seen so many people think they have this set correctly when in fact the opposite is true.
There's a similar setting on iPhones/iPads too, and again it's hidden away, but at least it's the right way round. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll right to the bottom. Where it says "Shared Calendar Alerts" change this setting to "OFF" (it's ON by default). -
IOS 7 Updated, Shared Calendar is No Longer Working/Syncing
My husband and I have a shared calendar that used to immediately notify the other when a new event was added. I just updated my 4s to IOS 7 (he is still on 6, using a 4) and I am no longer receiving notifications or able to see new events added by him.
Under Settings>Mail, Conracts, Calendars> Calendars
New invitation Alerts: on
Sync: All Events
Shared Calendar Alerts: On
In the Calendar App, the shared calendar is selected. I can view all old events.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. We use this almost daily!Basics from the manual still remain: restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

TS3999 Shared calendars disappeared
Hello
I had a number of shared calendars on my iCloud, all of which have suddenly disappeared. When the owner of those calendars invites me again, I get the email but not the in-app notification. Approving the shared calendar from those emails does nothing. And they don't get an invite from me when I try to share a calendar with them.
In iCloud - Perferences - In-app notifications are turned on
On my iPhone and iPad - Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - new Invitation Alerts is on, and Shared calendar Alerts is on
I've checked my Apple profile - just the one noted (which was verified), no mobileme conflict
Also did the changing my AppleID email address, then back again - hasn't resolved
I did sell my old iPhone, and was (for a while) seeing that person's photos and calendar on my iCloud. I think they took it into an Apple store to stop our accounts from sharing - could they have doen something to my account? I can't get hold of them to ask.
Anything else I should check?
Cheers
IngaI have a very similar issue that seems to have started about 4 days ago. I first noticed it when the color of my wife's shared calendar (our family calendar) changed, and I couldn't change it back. It was very annoying, because the color changed to blue, and my personal calendar was already blue. I couldn't tell them apart.
When I would try to change the color of her calendar, it would appear changed, but would change back automatically or if refreshed. In an attempt to solve it, I removed her calendar and asked her to re-invite me.
Here's where it gets very odd.
Now, if she invites ME to view the calendar, I will get an email notification. However, my FATHER will get the notification in his calendar app (or in the iCloud.com app).
This is very easy to reproduce. I opened 3 different browsers: Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
In Safari, I logged into iCloud.com as my dad.
In Opera, I logged into iCloud.com as my wife.
In Firefox, I logged into iCloud.com as me.
In my wife's iCloud.com calendar, if I add my email address as someone to share the calendar with, I will get an email. The notification will show up on my dad's iCloud.com account in Safari.
In my dad's iCloud.com calendar, if I add my email address as someone to share the "Work" calendar with, I get an error that says...
Couldn't share "Work".
Your changes to this calendar couldn't be saved because of a server error. Please try again.
I've been trying for several days now.
How can I fix this problem? I feel like there is something really screwed up with my iCloud.com account! -
Making a family sharing calendar public
I am trying to sync my new Family Sharing iCloud calendar with Google Calendar, and am unable to do so. I've been able to make my OTHER iCloud calendars sync by creating "public" links, and then using icaltogcal.com to make the links readable by Google Calendar. however, iCloud does not allow making the "Family" calendar public, only allows sharing via email address.
Am I going to have to abandon iCloud / Family Sharing for calendar usage, and rely solely on Google Calendar?Hello Jacqui L Davies,

How do I stop a shared calendar from sending a separate alert from each device it's loaded on?
I have shared calendars in iCal that are shared by:
- a Macbook
- an iPod Touch
- an iPad; and
- two iPhones (4S and 5)
When I create and event with an alert email, the alert is emailed to me 3+ times. Quite annoying. Any ideas how to resolve or have only one alert as I've set for the event?
Separartely, I do have problems with iCal inserting alerts that I don't set (not default here, just plain added alerts). That is manageable but it's the multiple identical alerts, especially emails, that are wasting my time.
FYI OS on Macs is current, iOS 7 on mobiles (though this problem pre-dates the update.Oh right - also shared on an iMac that has previous OS X.

Have had new iPhone 6 for 2 months, using iOS 8. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and I am getting bombarded with their upcoming appointment alerts. There seems no way to turn this off. I went to Settings->Notifications->INCLUDE(Calendar)->Shared Calendar Changes and turned everything off, but this only blocks alerts about new events or changes to events being added to the calendars, it does not block the 5-minute/10-minute/etc. alarms that go off immediately in advance of the appointment. There used to be a setting in iOS7 in "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" way at the bottom to turn off alarms from shared calendars, but I don't see that in iOS8. Any ideas?
Finally figured this out when I read jodiemcneill 's post about Google calendars. Thanks!
Reposting the basic idea: to turn off event alerts from shared ICloud calendars, select the Calendar App, then click the "info" (i.e., the circled red 'i') icon next to the shared iCloud calendar to be silenced. Go down to "Notifications" and turn the slider off for "Event Alerts: (Allow events on this calendar to display alerts.)"
For good measure, you can also turn off the slider for "Show Changes" to prevent the calendar from displaying messages when shared events are added/modified/deleted, although this can be done "globally" for all shared iCloud Calendars in Settings->Notifications->Calendar->Invitations (turn off all sliders, click "none" for Alert Style).
This has been a major pain in the ... neck ... for the past 3 months. So glad to start the new year with a suddnely-much-quieter iPhone 6. -
Why do I keep getting alerts for shared calendars?
I have a calendar set up in Calendar, it syncs with iCloud.
My wife has a clanedar set up in Calendar, it syncs with iCloud.
Both calendars are shared, so we can see what the others availability is on a given day at a given time.
But why do I keep getting alerts on my iPhone (and only on my iPhone) for my WIFE's events? I've turned off the "show shared calendar events" button in the calendar preferences on my iPhone, but I'm *still* getting alerts for all her events. I don't need this, I don't want this, I turned it off... why is it still happening?
My iCloud calendar is defaulted to my calendar. I do not get alerts on my iMac for her events, only on the iphone. Can anyone help? I never want to see her events unless I manually go and look at them on my calendars or in iCloud calendar.Your System Details list shows that you use a Firefox 31.0 release.
That is not the current release.
The current release is Firefox 34.0.5.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 34.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Why can't I choose whether or not I want alerts from shared calendars?
My wife and I want to view each other's iCloud calendars, but she certainly doesn't need to recieve alerts for my meetings, nor do I need alerts for hers. Am I missing something or is there no way around this? What a huge flaw for a shared calendar!
This is unfortunately how the shared calendar systems works at the moment. The reminders appear event specific instead of user specific. Hopefully Apple will get around to fixing this as soon as possible.
This problem also appears with shared reminder lists in the new iOS5 5 reminder app.
Solution, unfortunately, is to share your calendars via a third party. For example, google. -
Why can't I receive alerts when my partner include new events from shared calendar?
I am able to share my calendar with my partner and he is able to receive alert whenever I add new event. However, I am unable to see future events which he includes and update in his calendar even though he has shared his calendar with me.
I have checked and the settings in iCloud are there, yet it is still not working.
Can anyone assist or have solution for this? Appreciate much!yes, calendar alerts are enabled and it is his default calendar which he has shared with me. I have checked all calendars checked under the app as well.

How do I only have invited people receive the calendar notification for a shared calendar?
I work backstage for my school and me and the other techies set up a shared calendar (all of us can see, edit, and add events). But not everyone needs to go to each event. How can I make it so only the people that got invited revieve an alert (the in calendar thing to alert me say 15 minutes before the event)? as opposed to everyone the calendar is shared to.

Please fix the Subscriptions, thanks,

Is it possible to take a shared calendar and have it appear on a non iOS system like Microsoft Exhange? I would like to view my shared calendar that I have with my wife through my work calendar on my computer. I would like for my alerts to show on my PC when connected in this manner.
Is it possible?You would need to share that calendar diretly to your work exchange account if your work exchange account supports that ability.
