Shared calenders sporadically disappeared

Hi,
when I opened shared calendars from other users by clicking on "Open" -> "Other User's Folder" and left it open in the list without deleting it, I had to realize that the calendars sporadically disappeared from the list (1-2 times
a year).
How can I prevent Outlook from removing shared calendars without any request?

Hi,
Since it only happens 1-2 times a year, we cannot determine the root cause of the issue. The opened shared calendars info are stored in Outlook navigation pane settings, we may try to reset the navigation pane setting to check if it may fix the issue.
To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /resetnavpane and press Enter.
Note: This switch clears and regenerates the Navigation Pane for the current profile, you will lost all custom navpane settings (including opened shared calendar list) after running this command. Additionaly, since this problem happens randomly and
happens after a long period, we cannot guarantee this command will fix the issue.

"Outlook cannot perform search. Cannot display view." error coming up when searching shared calenders in Outlook 2010.

Hi,
So I am having issues with the advanced find feature in Outlook 2010. When I goes to search a shared calender it gives me the "Outlook cannot perform search. Cannot display view." error. It is odd because it only does it with shared calenders
and only when a calender is selected. If I search my inbox it works fine. It also works fine when I first open Outlook and perform a search without selecting any calenders. If I select on it then gives me the error. I have tried resetting the views, I ran
cleanfinders and I went through this page (http://www.msoutlook.info/question/47) and rebuilt the index/scanned the pst/etc. Nothing seems to be working. I would appreciate some help if anyone knows why this would be happening.
Thank you for your time,
Gabe M.

Pst file size would not cause this and Outlook 2010 can have huge pst files as long as you use the new Unicode format.
If the problem is a corrupt view, cleanviews will clear it. I'm sure there are other causes besides corrupt views, but I can't think of any at the moment.
Does it work in Safe mode? To open Outlook in Safe mode: Close Outlook then hold Ctrl as you click on the Outlook icon. You'll get a message asking if you want to start in Safe mode. Click Ok.

Sharing calenders on one computer

My wife and I share a mac via Fast User Switching where I am the administrator. However, there doesn't appear a way for us to share our iCal information. We don't need to be able to write to the shared calenders (however, that would be nice). Is there some way to do this?

Hi Dennis,
Caution is always understandable.
Yes, this software is designed to be used with OS 10.4 and iCal 2 as well as OS 10.3 and iCal 1.5. I should point out that I have nothing to do with the author of this software, but it does work on my machine.
There are other ways of doing this. You could start webdav on your machine's Apache server and both subscribe to it locally (instructions - http://www.shawnwall.com/teach/webdav-ical.php ), or some people have got making symbolic links work. Both involve playing around in the Terminal. There is also .mac.
Best wishes

My shared calendars have disappeared

My shared calendars have disappeared.

iMac 27" i7, Mac OS X (10.6.6) < hopefully your profile is just outdated. iCloud requirements are for v10.7.4 or later
Try resetting ...
On iOS devices tap Settings > ICloud
Switch Calendars off then back on.
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deslect the box next to Calendars then reselect it.
Give iCloud a minute or two to re sync the data.

Shared Calenders in entourage

Can anyone help me I am running 10.5.8 OX with the latest software for the blackberry. I can sync all my calenders and contacts etc. The problem I would like resolved is that I have other shared calenders in entourage, that are managed by my entire office on a 2003 exchange server. I would like to sync the shared calender with my blackberry. Is there any way of doing this? Can anyone recommend a third party software or do I just have to wait until Microsoft release the MAPI support for the MAC. Is a POP account a better way to go?
Any help appreciated
Thanks

DL'ed the make Hyperlinks X2.2.1.sit file which shows up on my desktop but does nothing when you open it. Black page at best.
I don't understand what "Black page at best" is. Do you mean you couldn't open the download? The file is a Stuffit archive containing three files. They are:
Make Hyperlinks Add-Remove X
Make Hyperlinks ReadMe.rtf
Make Hyperlinks X
If you can't open it, download the free Stuffit Expander. Drag and drop the downloaded file onto the Expander.
The instructions tell you to put the two script files in the Office folder. That's incorrect. They go in your home user account at ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items/. When you next launch Entourage, you'll see the two new scripts added to the list in the scripts menu bar item. That's the one next to "Help" that looks like a scroll of paper.
If you've already composed the email message as HTML, skip steps one and two.
1) If you composed the email as plain text when you first run the "Make Hyperlinks X" script, it tells you that the file has to be in HTML format and saved first. Click OK to dismiss the error message.
2) To change from plain text to HTML, click the ab_ab button.
3) Run the "Make Hyperlinks X" script. You don't need to mark the URL in your email. The script will automatically looks for the first instance of text starting with http. You'll get a message asking if you're ready to send. Click Continue.
4) It shows you what part of the text will be turned into a hyperlink. Enter the text you want the recipient to see. Click OK.
5) Entourage may warn you that a script is running that may be potentially dangerous. You of course know it's running (you started it , so click Continue.
I've tried it on a few test emails and it works fine.

Creating item in shared calendar- it disappears when syncs with icloud!

This has been going on for weeks. When I create a new event on a shared calendar, the edit window closes and I see my appointment listed correctly. A few moments later, as the "updating..." line appears at the top of the screen, the event's title and time disappears and it reverts to my default calendar at a random time during the day (same date). I could create 10 events and the moment it tries to sync to iCloud, they are all GONE! Anyone else notice this from a shared calendar? FWIW- it doesn't do this when I schedule directly on icloud.com, but I find the interface to be a pain in the neck to use regularly. All suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

Sharing calenders in office enviornment

I have Mobile Me and use it at my office. I mainly use ical on my office mac and I would like to sync that calender with office mates who use outlook and ical. I have tried to create a calender, share it, send a subscription email to have them subscribe, but only seem to be able to see it and not edit or add events to it for me to see it.
What is the easiest way, through mobile me or otherwise (we all have exchange accounts) to share calenders that are editable with everyone.
Thanks

I contacted mm chat about the subject and they informed me that in order to share the calender and have itbe editable, I would have to install mm prefs on the windows computers. I would need to login to mm and set up the calender that way. The problem is, I am not sure if they would also have access to my personal email. That's the only way they sai it would work with mm.
However I have exchange at work and my IT dept helped me set up sharing my calender with my exchange account. This works okay. Righ now it is set up so that it shares my main work calender with whomever I deem to need it. We can purchase another exchange account from our IT people that will only be a calender account so we can have a dedicated calender between all of us instead of one person having theirs be the one clogged with everyones events.
Hope this helps. Let know if you have further questions.

We want to create a photobook using iPhoto 11. Photos from shared libraries keep disappearing. Why?

Photos sent to a photobook from a shared library disappear. Why and how can we "save" the photobook to enable further work on it as a later date.

Yes.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Formerly accessible shared drive has disappeared??

OK, so I ejected it accidentally but havne't been able to reFind it...
I have an external hard drive connected to my Mac Mini that I was accessing via Sharing with my laptop. It worked fine. I had both read/write permissions and had accessed stuff on it, as well as writing to it. No problems.
Then sometime last week I clicked the eject button and it disappeared. The problem is, I can't find it anymore. It's gone.
I've tried restarting both computers. Removing the drive from my Shared folder at the Mini and then re-adding it. I've tried adding new users... Nothing. On the Mini's side, everything is set right, but my laptop still doesn't see it. My other Shared folders are still there... What am I missing?
(On a different, yet related note: Why can't I do a basic Finder search on my Shared folders?)

Have you tried shutting down the drive, letting it sit for a couple of minutes, and then restarting it?
Bingo.
Now I feel stupid. Always the first step with any tech support: shut it off and turn it back on. I did that with both computers, but never even thought about the drive.
Thanks Eric!

Shared computer has disappeared - Need help !!!

i have an i*Mac 2.16ghz* (leopard 10.5.1) & a *macbook pro 2.4gh*z (leopard 10.5.1)
when i click on "shared" from my iMac to connect to my MBP i get _"connection failed"_
when i do the same from my MBP to connect to iMac i connect without a problem.
if i click "connect as" or "shared screen" ,on either computer, i can input user name and password and connect fine.
*some background info*
today for some reason leopard decided to make my HD disappear from the desktop and finder window on my iMac.
so i done some searching and rang this script:
+tell application "System Events"+
+ set visible of disk "NameofDisk" to true+
+end tell+
+tell application "Finder" to quit+
+delay 1+
+tell application "Finder" to launch+
this worked and i got my HD showing back up again.
i dont know if this is related to the disappearing shared device.
i have went to preferences and unticked and reticked the file sharing and screen sharing and restarted both computer and still nothing.
im at a loss.

As you have found out (the hard way) you can't resize a Boot Camp partition safely (one exception, CampTune can)
Backing up your Windows installation may be possible using WinClone, or you could try to image the entire drive using Disk Utility.
You are likely to have to erase the entire drive and reinstall though.
There is a very knowledgable poster on this site, Christopher Murphy. Look for one of his threads and post a request in it for his help, you may be able to get out of this without reinstalling anything with his help.

Cannot Download Shared calenders

I am new to Macs. Just got a Macbook. When I try to download a shared calender (US Holidays), I get the following message:
The page you opened redirected you to a page that isn't supported by safari.
How do I solve this problem?
Thanks, Joe

I created a calender at home on the weekend, published to .mac and have now tried to sync at work to get the calender on my iCal at work, but it's not appearing. I also can't view my iCal calenders online which you are supposed to do using this URL...
ical.mac.com/[membername]/[calendarname]
I assume it requires http:// in front of it, I've tried all sorts and it just reverts to my .mac home page. I'm also slightly baffled as to why iCal doesn't feature prominently within .mac, there's mail, address book, web gallery, etc but why not iCal calenders?
EDIT: I've just managed to get it working. The URL above doesn't require the http:// but puts it in anyway...

HT4901 Shared calendars suddenly disappeared from ical and those I shared with even tho we did nothing

My client shares two icals with me. I went to add something to one and suddenly I got an alert saying they were no longer shared. Then I got an email notify. Then he called me wanting to know why I deleted his calendars. Which I did not.
Is this an icloud issue? No one did anything. They just disappeared. I don't own the calendars so I can't restore them. Help!!!

I have got same problem.
After importing the calendar user can't create new appointments.
It isnt possible to add a new appointment.
let me know if there is an solution?
Thanks.

All my shared info has disappeared in Calendar, can I restore?

Overnight everything in Calendar that others had shared with me has disappeared. Anyone got any idea how to restore please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Possibly not, many people trying to restore lost calendars and contacts have found that restoring from a phone back up doesn't help.

Shared hard drive disappearing after airport update

My shared hard drive attached to my airport extreme will mount but afterwards gives me the error message "The alias “xxxxxx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." Also the drive is listed under my shared section in the finder window but when selected gives a share-point icon and doesn't allow access. This has been occurring after the airport utility update. Any information would be greatly appreciated....and I just got the access via the internet working and now this - bummer.
workaround: I have found that selecting the drive in the finder window then deselecting and selecting a second time will give me access to the drive but thats a pain in the rear.

"It will not let me verify the drive" means that I am unable to verify the drive.
Today, I installed the security update on my 24" intel imac, that I've owned since April. I restarted the machine. Up came the folder icon with the question mark. I restarted a second time and the same thing occurred. I then inserted the installer disc that came with the computer and I was able to start up the computer that way. Using the Disc Utility, I attempted to verify or repair the hard drive, but all those options were ghosted ("it will not let me verify the hard drive") Also, while there, I saw that the hard drive partitions were not recognized: there were two partitions (1: 500GB; 2: 198GB) but now it was registering a single drive at 698GB of 750.
I then called Apple support. We reset the PRAM. We did a hard drive test (restart holding "d") and that test produced no error. We then tried unplugging all peripherals, including the power supply, and letting it sit for a few moments. The imac restarted to the same results. Finally, the tech suggested attempting an archive install, which was not available as an option. Further, the install disc did not detect an available hard drive for installation, so the option to reinstall the OS was not an option, either.
The tech said my only option is to take it in for service, leaving me unable to work for four to five days (if I'm lucky), as they won't get to it until Monday, and even then they're backed up.

Shared review: sporadically can't connect to server

Hi,
I created a shared review using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I then sent an email to all reviewers with a link to the pdf file. Most users can connect with no problems, but one user can only periodicly connect. It seems to be rather random if he can connect or not.
He always receives the tool bar to commit his comments but sometimes the connection can't be astablished allthough he can access the pdf and the xml files using the explorer.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

I would be glad if i could blame it on the ISP but it's all inside the same corporate LAN.
